Happy hour done right The Vig Fillmore in Downtown Phoenix is the move for laid-back vibes, good food, and solid drink specials. Weekday happy hour (3-6pm) hits with great deals and a fun atmosphere, even better enjoyed out on the patio. We shared: Parmesan truffle fries Onion dip with house fried potato chips Plus a fruity bartender-made drink Everything was delicious, and the vibe was on point with music, energy, and a great crowd. A go-to spot for after-work hangs or a chill night out. read more

The Vig has many locations in the valley. It appears to be a staple. The ambiance is nice - they even have a large patio seating area. Our server stopped by when only half of the table was seated (the rest were either in the restroom or at the bar). He told us he'd be right back but it took him nearly 10-15 min to come back. The restaurant wasn't busy either. This was the first red flag. When we placed our orders, it took 15-20 min for our entrees to arrive. I ordered the grilled chicken chopped salad. It was so mediocre for $19. The chicken was tough and dry - I could barely pierce it with my fork. I asked for a new side of chicken and it was not that much better. It wasn't over cooked but it was low quality. My friend ordered The Vig burger and they brought out the wrong one. It took forever for them to bring a replacement. My husband also ordered this, and it just tasted average. Our other friend ordered a burger with a side of fries. When it arrived, it came with mac and cheese. One of the servers took the plate and said she'd replace it, but then our main server just brought it back with the same exact thing 5 min later. She did end up getting her side of fries later on. I was really excited about the parmsean truffle fries because they were so fragrant but it turned out to be a bust. The fries did not taste fresh and you could hardly taste the truffle parm. The quality, the service, and the overpriced food made the experience lackluster. Overall, this was one of the worst restaurants I've been to in a long time. read more

The Vig Fillmore - Grilled Chicken Chopped Salad - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My perception of The Vig was that it is a Phoenix staple. Now that I've had the chance to try it, I don't know why. Our experience here was problematic from start to finish. First, it took a really long time to take our order and receive our food. Which was perplexing as the restaurant was half empty. Certain things didn't even make sense to be delayed (my friend was told they were "working on her Diet Pepsi"). The service was nice, but not functional. We got wrong orders, failing to correct that wrong order multiple times, and just overall seemed to exhibit a lack of communication or workflow in the restaurant. The food was also lackluster. The guacamole didn't taste like it had any lime at all. My wife's salad came with chicken breast that was insanely dry. This was not a personal opinion, it was objectively dry as it was borderline chicken jerky. We received a new piece of chicken that was cooked better but overall seemed like low quality chicken was used. My burger was fine, and so were the fries. But I had upgraded to the truffle Parmesan fries and the "truffle Parmesan" flavors were very weak. Ultimately didn't live up to being a $20+ burger Our group was left wondering what just happened and unsatisfied. There are much better dining options downtown read more

The Vig Fillmore - VIG Burger - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This was a really good experience. I've been to the Arcadia location and my experience was the same. Only giving 4 stars because I wanted a fish sandwich instead of fish and chips but the chef said no. I ordered a bun on the side and made it myself. Our server was great and made sure we had everything we needed. read more

Had a great time when we came for a birthday party of 20+ people in the group. The servers were able to handle the big group, coming all at different times, switching around seats to mingle, and separate checks. The patio is great for a large group and was a beautiful night. I didn't order food, just drinks, but I saw people enjoying their food choices. read more

I've been to the Vig 3 other times and always had a wonderful experience. This time was just meh, subpar. The positives: the food was hot and tasty. The burger and fries were delicious as were the steak frites. The wings were crispy but could've used more sauce. The patio is large and beautiful. However, we had some negatives going on this particular Saturday evening. First, we had reservations, and we showed up a few minutes early, but it still took them 20 minutes to seat us, despite the fact that it was not busy at all. Second and most disappointing, our server was not good. He was not attentive, took forever for him to take our order and bring our food, and we had to ask him numerous times to refill our water and soft drinks cause he never stopped by to check on us. With so many great choices out there, I'll go somewhere else next time with better service. read more

First we hear the DJ spinning tunes, Nice....11 AM For a Sunday only about 20 people but more people kept arriving. In fifteen minutes the misters were turned on. The room was very large making the ambiance for outdoors very pleasing. I had always thought The Vig was Vigan or woo,woo food. Boy was I wrong. The wife had the house fries with special cheese, I had two pancakes, figuring if they are not good I can ed them to the local birds. Boy was I wrong they were amazing and everyone kept ating from my plate because I was getting such rave reviews. The staff were very well trained and pleasant to everyone. Could not ask for a better morning. read more

I thought this place was nice, but nothing stood out as super amazing. I got the Mediterranean salad which our waiter said was a menu item exclusive to this location. I also added shrimp. I liked the amount of shrimp they gave, but I found the overall dish to be a bit salty. I'm not sure if it was the shrimp or the olives or the extreme amount of feta, but something was super salty. My friend ordered the pretzel with cheese and another friend ordered Mac n cheese. I tried a bit of both, and both cheeses kind of had a weird texture. A bit like the cheese sauce had broken? Also tasted slightly bland. Another negative was the flourless chocolate cake. This was a pass for me as it was bitter and a tough texture. In terms of positives it was my friends birthday and they do a free birthday dessert! It was the bread pudding. I really enjoyed this! Honestly my favorite bite of the night. Another highlight was the hibiscus gin spritz. I thought it tasted yummy and seemed like it had a good amount of alcohol. Lastly, the ambience and service was super great! Everyone was very nice and the place itself is very pretty. Overall I'm not sure I would choose to come here again, but I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to come here. read more

The lack of parking was very difficult for me. But that's probably out of the restaurant's control. The shrimp tacos were very yummy. The service was good overall but someone else in my party ordered chicken salad and there was no chicken in it, which was bizarre. There was a miscommunication which made it even more frustrating but they did remedy the problem for them. It's a very nice place, casual enough but good for a date as well. read more

The Vig Fillmore - Shrimp Tacos - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The Vig is a go to spot for my friend and I before concerts downtown! It is a nice vibe inside. Parking is easy and it is normally not too busy. We always start with chips and guac which are always a hit! I got the harvest salad with chicken for my entree. It was nice and fresh! Chicken was nothing special. Our server was not the most attentive with refilling our drinks but besides that did a good job! Not my ultimate fave but a solid spot. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at the Vig. Party of 23 dined here recently and the process from making a reservation to being seated, to ordering, to keeping tabs separated, to the food and service ...everything was excellent. We all had a variety of dishes from the stem frites, enchiladas, tacos, pasta...all were a hit. The apps were also enjoyed. Definitely recommend this restaurant...add to your rotation today! read more

The Vig is always a hit for a nice lunch. On today's visit we sat inside even though the patio is very inviting, it was a very hot summer day! We started with drinks, I had the blackberry smash, not too sweet, refreshing with bourbon and blackberry puree.. yum! They have a great lunch, happy hour and a regular menu. There is something for everyone. I had the Thai noodles.. sorta like pad Thai. Delicious and filling. Service was on point. I will definitely be back. read more

I had a colleague meeting me recently at the Arizona State University Downtown Campus, and we decided to go for a short walk to The Vig Fillmore for lunch a few weeks ago. We arrived and learned about the menu specials for lunch. We noted the starters, soups & greens, sandwiches, tacos, brunch options, entrees, dessert, kids meals, and many drink options. Since we were working, we stuck with the lunch specials that are available on weekdays from 11 AM to 3 PM for only $14. They included an entree (Genuine Burger, Chicken Sandwich & Side, Asian Chicken Salad, or Pozole) and drink. We both chose the Chicken Sandwich lunch specials. I got mine with a side salad and lemonade. They were delicious, a bit smaller than a typical dinner portion, but certainly something I'd consider again over lunch. The Vig Fillmore is in the historic part of Downtown Phoenix with a large, shaded patio along with some indoor rooms, too. As it was a record-breaking day when we were visiting, we opted to sit indoors. In addition to plenty of outdoor seating which is shaded and cool, there are limited seating right by the front door where we sat along with other indoor seating that I have yet to experience. The service we received was wonderful plus they weren't too busy being lunchtime in the middle of the week while ASU was still in summer mode. The Vig is part of the Genuine Concepts restaurants and have been around since 2006. Other Genuine Concepts include Campo Italian Bistro and Bar, The Genuine, The Little Woody, The Womack, and The McMillan Bar and Kitchen (in Flagstaff). There are currently seven The Vig restaurants with an eight opening in Paradise Valley in the near future. The Fillmore location is open Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 10 PM, Friday from 11 AM to 11 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 10 PM. You can make reservations for lunch or dinner (or something in between) for The Vig Fillmore at OpenTable or on their website. They also host private events and catering, and you can place online orders through their website. You can read more about all of this and sign up for their e-mail list at https://www.thevig.us. I also heard great things about the happy hour (which I think I may have visited a few years ago with friends). I certainly look forward to returning again to this location as well as when the location at the PV opens up soon. read more

The Vig Fillmore - Chicken Sandwich + Side Salad (lunch special) - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We got to the restaurant for an early dinner around 5pm and were told they were short staffed and service will be slower than normal. I'm definitely appreciative when a server gives us that warning as we can decide to leave or stay committed... which of course we did. As for the food: Enchiladas-5/5, I haven't had enchiladas in a minute, but definitely will come back and it's perfectly filled with chicken, sauce, and topped with a bunch of toppings. Pesto pasta- 4/5- great taste full of basil and garlic, but lacking chicken. Feels like there was only a sprinkle of chicken Posole - 2/5- it looks good when it came out, but OMG it was salty galore. I thought adding lime would help, but after 5 slices ... I'm like, not worth getting high blood pressure for this As for drinks, forgot what we ordered, but it was good. read more

The food was delicious and service was top notch! The ambiance was cool with the beautiful patio area! Definitely a one of a kind restaurant in an area where you would not expect, all residential and then you see this place, I was pleasantly surprised! We don't live in the area, but next time we are back, I'd definitely want to try it again! BTW, our server was the absolute best, and I forgot her name!! I wish I could give credit, where credit is due!! read more

Had a work brunch at The Vig Filmore and really enjoyed it! The patio with heaters was perfect for a chilly day. Amazing service by Mercedes and great suggestions too. The fish and chips were delicious, and I heard the pozole was good but pretty spicy! read more

Came here last weekend and the place is super cute! Had reservations for 4 and got seated inside by the bar. Disappointed with the table, it was a bit too tight and had to really try not to kick people that sat across from you. Food came out pretty delicious! Started with the crispy calamari and shrimp and it was very flavorful! We also tried the Pozole Soup yum!Then we ordered the Pastrami Reuben and it was delicious! We also ordered the New York Steak Frites and steak came out perfect temperature! We also ordered the Honey Hot chicken sandwich which had a good flavor too! Can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu! read more

Man, I really wanted to love this place. I guess the hype over the years just didn't fulfill my experience. I was a huge fan of their onion dip and will say that that was excellent. It's an extremely small location, which is fine, however being as small as it is, I expected a little bit more attention from our server. We had to waive her down quite a few times just to get refills on our drinks and to order more than just appetizers. Overall, it wasn't a terrible dining experience, but it just wasn't great either. read more

This place is hidden but a beautiful place to eat & drink. This vibe reminds me like CA. I loved it. My first time trying the espresso martini. It did not disappoint. It was delicious and on happy hour. I will go back for this drink . The cheeseburger slider was a hit. The calamari & shrimp was good. The shrimps ere small, but tasty. The parking was on the streets which I was not a fan of, but luckily I got good parking. It says private lot but I'm not sure where that was at. read more

The Vig Fillmore - Expresso martini - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The space is amazing. An oasis in the middle of downtown. The food is so very average. The menu is right out of the 2000s. Truffle oil anyone? I might return for drinks at the outside shady bar. No dinner, thanks. read more

The food tasted great and was cooked well. The server was on top of things and friendly. I really liked their Pineapple Sunrise cocktail. I had the pozole soup which was a pretty solid version. I've had more flavorful versions but this was still better than some I've had. The bread pudding was probably the most underwhelming thing I ordered. Nothing outstanding but nothing bad about it. I liked the patio and inside options for dining. read more

I was invited to meet friends here. This location looks small on the outside and large on the inside! I ordered the steak frites cooked to medium. It was cooked to medium rare, but the quality of the steak was melt in your mouth quality! The fries that came with it were perfectly cooked, nice and crispy!! And the greens, broccolini was so good!! I also ordered the crème brûlée cheesecake... like how could you not... amazing, tasted amazing! This place wasn't bad nice and cozy feeling. Very comfortable. I'd definitely come back. The menu is limited though, which explains how they're able to make everything so good! I'd come back for sure! read more

Went for a graduation dinner and it was great. Shared calamari, fries and wings! The truffle fries are great! Each of us got a drink and all were amazing. Sat outside by the heater and it was amazing! Would def come back read more

The drinks were great! Espresso martinis are hit or miss for me, and this one was pretty good. I also got an extra dirty martini with gin and that was also pretty good. The truffle fries were ok, the sliders were good. (Not pictured, pretzel and wings) the pretzel was ok, I was not a fan of the cheese. The wings were amazing! The ranch and blue cheese with it were also really good. It's a cute location, there's decent space, their patio area is also super cute. I definitely want to come back when it's not as hot. The service was ok... the tables were sticky when we sat down, so was the table next to us. The waitress also cleared our plates and we were still working on our food. Overall, not terrible, I really enjoy the different locations in the valley. Vibes wise, this might be the cutest location. read more

Love this place! Stumbled across it and didn't realize what a gem franchise it is. Staff were lovely, food was fantastic, dj on the Saturday was awesome, ambience was everything!

Came in alone for lunch around 3 PM. Was quickly seated at the bar inside. Lucky for me happy hour was going on. This probably has to be one of the best happy hours in Phoenix.

Great service. I wasn't fond of the regular menu but the brunch menu had tasty bites on it. I decided on the chorizo burrito and added bacon to it. I was glad I did because the chorizo and potatoes were a bit mushy but the crunch of the bacon broke up the mush monotony. It was served super hot and fresh and the salsa it came with had a nice kick to it. Definitely recommend, flavorful and great atmosphere! Also the hostess that sat us was amazing! read more

Visited the Vig earlier today because I heard about their summer special and I wanted to check it out for the first time. promoting all day everyday 6 dollar espresso martini, margs, and Titos. I was then disappointed that my waitress told us no saying it was Monday through Friday and only espressos so we got them but clearly says in the picture it's a variety . She gave pretty average service nothing special got the job. Food is good wouldn't change a thing we just got wings , salad, and wings all great average prices. Ambience is like an outside backyard summer vibe with misters it's nice . Service changes the review a lot and feel like it affected the dining experience it could've been more warming . Average place not sure if I would come back unless it was for the soecua read more

Had a wonderful meal and experience at The Vig - Fillmore! Beautiful location ... it's designed such that once I walk through gate I'm almost transported out of the city! Wonderful garden seating area if you're waiting for a table with well cared for lacquered wood Adirondack chairs! We opted to sit in the garden/patio rather than wait for an inside table. Even though we're now in the triple digits in Phoenix, the lush vegetation, sun shades, misters, and fans made our evening on the patio quite comfortable. So many yummy choices on the menu. For an appetizer, we shared the humus. It was delicious! I want that recipe! The veggies were generous and fresh, along with perfect pita triangles. Ice Ice baby ... the water brought to the table was great... often restaurants don't serve filtered water, a pet peeve of mine. Thank you Vig for doing so, and as requested.. we got large glasses full of ice to keep the water cool and refreshing! I know, reviewing water at a restaurant? Now you know! Debated several menu options, but Kim, our server, helped us narrow down our selection. Both of us went with the poblano chicken enchiladas. Wow! I enjoyed them so much! Three corn tortillas (they seemed home made!) generously stuffed with chicken tinga, smothered in a delicious poblano cream with Oaxaca cheese crumbles, radish slices, roasted corn, and pickled red onions. My only complaint (tongue in cheek) - more onions! I love how the mild pickle contrasted with the creamy poblano sauce! The only thing better than the Service, ambience, and food, was the amazing time and conversation with my dining partner. It was so peaceful out on the patio, conducive to a great conversation! I'll be back for sure! read more

Parking: saw a lot of street parking. Pretty sure they had a parking lot but i walked to it so can't attest to the parking situation. Service: usually never a long long wait. But light waiting is expected especially if you want the outdoors for dinner. Our staff didn't seem to know as much about the menu or wasn't very confident in recommendations but still great service overall. Food: I got the tacos. Great flavor. A bit on the smaller portion size for the price. But my happiest purchase was the pretzel! Nicely baked outside but still soft and amazing on the inside. read more

Came for a friend's graduation/birthday and we were sat outside on the patio. It was a nice vibe, but the food wasn't anything special for me. I'm not a fan of places that have burgers for $15+ and pricey mac n cheese. The texture of the mac n cheese was good, but there wasn't much flavor there for me. read more

My son and I took my husband in their yesterday for Father's Day. We had the Father's Day Special. It was coleslaw, half rack pork ribs, 2 pork sliders, sweet potato fries and street corn (Elote). We had the bottomless Mimosas and Margaritas. The special was delicious. It exceeded my expectations. It was worth it. It should be served as a Brunch special or even as a Father's Day special/Fourth of July special. Who ever thought of this special, it was an excellent idea. Great combination! Thanks. read more

This was our party's first time trying out The Vig, and it was very good! The ambiance is nice, and it wasn't very noisy for a Friday night, even by the bar. We ordered the Thai Noodles.

We ended up ordering something else instead, and without us even asking, the server graciously comped us for the too-spicy noodles. read more

To start our waitress Stefanie L was Amaaaaaazing. She made me feel like she enjoyed her job and made us feel very welcome especially with the racial climate these days she was a breath of fresh air. Very animated knowledgeable and resourceful to our every need. I cant express enough how great Stefanie was for me and my family. On top of that the food was outstanding very fresh very tasty and you can tell that the chef that created the flavors I tasted is passionate about what left the kitchen. My mind was blown by what we selected. We went around 4:30pm and left around 5:30pm on Thursday June 5th after my Drs appointment. I was thoroughly pleased and the prices were fair for 2 adults and a 10 year old child. I'm a huge fan of Mastros and experience wise and flavors I had it's up there especially when on a budget. I'll post my receipt in the pictures. Thank you for our great vibe and experience and it started with our waitress Stefanie L she's a keeper read more

The Vig has a great vibe and the food is always amazing! Reasonably priced and service is great!

Came here for a late lunch before watching the WNBA Finals at Mortgage Matchup Center. We ordered calamari, nachos, salad, steak and a hot chicken sandwich. Enjoyed the nachos and calamari, my friends loved the flavor of the steak and the dressing on the salad. My hot honey chicken sandwich was kind of a miss, nothing hot with the sandwich that I got. Our server was also not the greatest and it seemed like she was inconvenienced when my friend asked for A1 sauce, which they didn't have or asking for a receipt after we initially said no receipt-- which she said she had no way of printing one after we said no. Weird but maybe that's how their system works. read more

What a great place for drinks and happy hour before a show or anytime. They due have a full menu as well. Service was great.

More of a spot to go for the ambience. Outdoor patio seating around the bar with TVs to watch games. Heaters were nice but not necessary for most of the year. The entrees looked good.
