The food came so fast, which was great cuz I was hungry lol I ordered fried mushrooms basket & they were absolutely delicious! We also ordered 2 burgers: Black & Bleu Burger (1/3 lb Burger with Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion smothered in Crumbly Bleu Cheese) Avocado Burger (1/3 lb Burger with American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion & Avocado) The burgers were OK, they lacked seasoning & they were a bit bland for my liking. Ended the meal with American coffee while enjoying the river view.

The only thing keeping me from a better review is what I call the curse of the single diner. Groups got water, I didn't. The server never asked if I wanted a second drink or dessert.

It was the most reasonable dinner we've had in our 2 week vacation. 2 dinner, a beer and a coke was $33.00!!!!!!

Let's just say it's not a dining enthusiasts dream. BUT The Place was good! We sat outside on their back patio. There was one server holding down the entire place. We didn't find service too slow, however. Our server was a doll - super sweet and engaging when she really didn't have to be due to how busy she was. Their cheese curds with the raspberry jalapeño dipping sauce were to die for. They also make a homemade ranch that was delish! The Alfredo pasta was the only thing we had that wasn't great. My husband had a buffalo chicken wrap - he did say the buffalo sauce had a sweet taste and wasn't that spicy. I love that the bar serves popcorn - great diversion for our 2 young kiddos who loved having something to munch on while we waited. So glad we found this place.

I love diners. And, if my tummy rumbles, and I see one I haven't been to, I stop…read more Today brought me here, and it didn't disappoint. Steak and eggs is my go-to. The portion size is huge! 14oz ribeye, over easy eggs, toast, hash browns, and coffee. I told my server that I might need a doggie bag. She assured me I'd be fine. And, happy to say, after continually reminding myself to eat slowly and chew, I ate everything. I usually don't put sauce on my steak, but I've never seen these ones before, so I dabbed a bit of each. One of the things that I love about diners is the atmosphere. They're not trying to be something they're not. Home cooked, unpretentious food that satisfies. And, at a wallet friendly price.

While trying a number of other great eating spots there (Little Italy, The Place, Phillips Diner, etc), we never tried Vinn's Tavern, although we always used to drive by it. Finally this past week we gave it a try and were most impressed! Like many small town diners/taverns in New York state, Vinn's is a local watering hole with great comfort food. I was delighted with the chicken and biscuits on mashed potatoes and gravy. My wife had a most tasty ham sandwich with fries that were delightfully crunchy on the outside but wonderfully soft on the inside....probably the best we ever ate. The staff were friendly and attentive, and even provided us with a free pass for the bridge fare on the way back to Canada. Other customers recommended the wings and onion rings, which we will definitely try on our next trip there. All in all, a great little place with wonderful comfort food. Sorry we took so long to discover it!

Prices are reasonable for the quality and taste of the food presented. The chef is particular in sourcing high quality ingredients that when prepared has a unique taste. Some standouts: Seafood Chowder, Burrata cheese served with heirloom tomatoes and balsamic drizzle; petite filet mignon, and a wonderful gelato spumoni encased in a chocolate shell. I know the restaurant has had its ups and downs in recent months, but it is well recommended for a revisit or a first visit. Easily the best dining experience I have ever had in Northern NY.
