SW burger with sweet potato fries.  The burgers here are awesome!
Ed F.

I love small town bar & grills and the Crooked Antler has more character than most. And the prices...it's like taking a trip to Mexico only a heck of a lot closer. We shared a 16" pizza with a total of five beers and the tab came in under $25! The sandwiches and burgers are all $5 and include fries. Nicely decorated, very clean and friendly service. We'll need to make the trip more often.

I'm writing this review while dining on some enjoyable pizza. But wait! I've given Jolly Roger's a…read moreone star rating. That's right. Because my pizza came from down the street at the Pizza Ranch. Now, I've eaten at Jolly's several times and have enjoyed the pizza. What is different you ask? For the first time ever in my life, I walked out of a restaurant due to poor service/attitude. The best part was I was going to suck it up and deal with it, but when my teen-aged child caught the "we don't want you here" vibe; you know it's time to say something. Friday night and I'm in Vinton and hungry due to the fact that we hadn't had time for supper. So we go to Jolly's and the first thing I do is ask my kid to check their door for their hours. The "Open" Light or beer lights were on and she reported that the door sign said until 10 pm. Ok, lets eat. We walk in and we can tell the back part of the restaurant had their floors mopped (par the course - don't wait until closing to start to clean. I'm fine with that.) and no other customers were visible. I asked the woman who was standing in there if they were still open, knowing that the sign had said open until 10pm. She informs us that they take orders until 9:30, not a problem since US Cellular showed it was only 9:10 and we knew what we wanted. She indicates that they are and we go in and sit. Drink order is taken and she comes back and we give her our order. Already my kid is feeling the vibe, cause I get a text message saying, "Seems cranky". I agreed and we ordered the pizza to go so that we wouldn't inconvenience them any longer. But because we were starving, we ordered cheese bread cause that doesn't take long to prepare; right? Yes, right. Just got to melt the cheese. At this point she goes back to tell the pizza maker with the order. This is in the same room and there is no divider. You can tell she isn't happy at this point but again I was going to just let it go. Another adult comes out and I hear her talking about our order and then how "the oven is cold and blah, blah, blah." My kid looks at me with the "this isn't what service looks like" look. So I proceed to ask the woman if they would rather not make our order. Because at this point, only thing the cook has done is put the crust on the pan. (I could hear the crust roller thing) She launches into a explanation about what she really meant, but "you can go if you want". Hmmm, not the message I was hoping to hear. I ask again and clarify that it really feels like they don't want to bother with our order and we have felt like that since she took our order. She responds with the same, "I don't care what you do. You can go if you want." Will my food have spit in it if I stay? We elect to leave and go three doors down to the Pizza Ranch that is also open until 10pm. They welcome us warmly and our pizza is out to us in less than 15 minutes. I can understand if I had walked in at 9:50 and had wanted a pizza. But seriously, if you are going to advertise your hours either stick with them or when asked "are you still open" tell us what you really want; "I'm sorry, we've been without customers for the last hour so we are closing up early." Had she said this, I would have respected that and went down to the Pizza Ranch from the get go. Sorry Jolly's. Won't be back and as poor service goes, you know customers are quick to tell others.

This place has the worst pizza I've ever eaten. I've had pizza at over 50 pizza places in my life…read more This one is definitely the worst. I was told if I didn't like the pizza I would be given a refund. Attached is a photo in response to my request for a refund, that I was assured I would receive if I didn't like the pizza. The delivery driver and apparently the owners phone number is also in said photo. Jolly Roger Pizza can suck my @$$ I will never ever buy from them again they are horse poop. If I could zero star review I would.
