I really wanted to love it, but the crispy calamari & shrimp was very much overcooked and therefore lacked flavor. I couldn't even finish it. They did take it off the bill. My husband did enjoy his tacos. And we both enjoyed the outdoor seating area which was pretty well covered with misting fans making it a great place to sit. I just wish the food had been better. I can't say if we'll be back. It does ring odd to us that not much time passed between when we ordered and when the food arrived, yet my dish still managed to be overcooked. Was it pre-cooked and then just dropped in a hot fryer? It wasn't greasy, which I guess is the plus, but it also wasn't edible for me.
I submitted an email to corporate on this and never heard back therefore they are ignoring the issue
We sat in the outside covered patio area and they had the misters on which was good. My wife got the Proper Hibiscus Soda. She also ordered the Crispy Calamari and Shrimp which was over cooked. I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos which were good but a little dry. The food tasted like it was made, then put back in the fryer to heat it up because the food came out super quick. Unfortunately we will not be going back to this eating establishment.
The Vig is such a vibe as far as the outdoor seating area, lighting, music, all the ambiance but in my experience the food is always super mid no matter which location. We got the fries as an app this time around and the goat cheese dipping sauce was super runny - it barely stayed on the fry. I also got the steak salad which is a more expensive menu item and it had basically no toppings! Like why is this $30 but is missing the majority of the ingredients that give it flavor? Also the drinks are fine but nothing that will knock your socks off. For a relatively decent menu on paper, I wish the food tasted better. I will say that our server was awesome! And again they have the cutest restaurants to meet friends and hang out at across the valley, just don't expect great food
The place is gorgeous, don't get me wrong. The service was quite friendly though ours was a little preoccupied. Our food was very good except the Brussels were salted like they came from the bottom of a nut container, meaning wayyyy too much. I'll go again and try something else but as my first experience I hoped for a bit better.
I've been wanting to check out the Vig for a while now and finally made it there on Saturday for some apps and wine. I was going to try to go there the weekend before but it was raining pretty hard and I wasn't sure if they actually had an inside -- a friend had told me it was mainly an outdoor patio. Well I am happy to report they do have a small inside area for dining and a bar as well (mental note for the future!!) Since it was a gorgeous November day, we opted for the patio -- we were there during brunch but we just wanted apps and wine. Steve was our waiter and was very attentive and helpful! We wanted fries but couldn't decide between the regular or the sweet potato fries and he suggested half and half! Great idea -- plus we got the guac and chips and some delightful Rose. The patio is a total vibe and the brunch menu looked small but mighty! I even confirmed for a future visit that their buttermilk pancakes come with real maple syrup -- so I will definitely be back for that. They also had a really nice looking wine selection which is good to note as well! I will definitely be returning to try both dinner and their brunch!!
I'm a lover of The Vig - this was my first time at this location. It is maybe my favorite in terms of the design and layout, where the outside is absolutely beautiful, but it's still covered above so you're immune to some of the weather still. Yet we were seated inside sad! It was freezing. And it wasn't cold outside ... but it was freezing inside. We were at a booth so we could sit side by side which we love. My boyfriend got the chicken and mac and cheese and we were both shocked at how large it was! He loved it. I love how you can make substitutions - I got a burger but with a veggie burger on a gluten free bun, with guacamole and chipotle aioli, caramelized onions, candied jalepenos, and cheese. Very yummy! The gf bun isn't my absolute favorite, it's slightly crumbly and dry, but it's not half bad and I love the option of it. Lots of flavors in there, and filling! I had it with sweet potato fries and it came with a BBQ sauce that was so good! Good service, we hung out for a few hours
I would not recommend this place. I waited over an hour for a table and was never seated. During that time, the staff were dismissive and didn't acknowledge me or my partner at all. To make matters worse, other guests who arrived after us were seated right away. The experience felt unfair and incredibly frustrating, and at times it even felt like we were being treated differently. Overall, it was a very negative experience. My partner and I simply wanted to enjoy a nice dinner, but we ended up leaving disappointed and unwelcome.
Gretchen! This review is for Gretchen and her phenomenal service! Best server experience I've ever had! She was warm, knowledgeable, gave AMAZING recommendations, and made sure our night flowed smoothly! I hadn't been to this location yet, but I am no stranger to the Vig chain of restaurants. I've spent many hours in my young adult life, enjoying hangs at various Vig locations, including my wedding reception almost 10 years ago. Deep, core memories have been had at the Vigs! I love that there's now one even closer to me! All the food was good! Those nachos were to die for! But the drinks! Thanks to Gretchen's expertise we were all introduced to orange with cinnamon to go along with the tequila and I will be doing this from now on. If you stop in and you have the luxury of Gretchen as your server, ask about her signature drink, you'll be happy you did.
DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT!!! We were greeted and seated out in the patio dining area with no wait. The evening was very pleasant and the patio area made for a comfortable ambiance. Our Server Aleigha arrived with a friendly smile, took out drink order and made the experience over the top. She was friendly, very knowledgeable of the menu and genuinely a pleasure. We started off with the house made salsa and guacamole. The charred tomato salsa is crazy good. The depth of flavor was unmatched by any I've ever eaten. The guacamole was vibrant and very flavorful. For our entree we had the carne asada steak tacos, the chopped grilled chicken salad and the chipotle chicken rigatoni. Most definitely going to be regular guests going forward.
Ooooowee this happy hour deal was fire!! As you can see, we were quite hungry LOL. This location made for a great date outing. The adult happy meal was fire, first of all. Great espresso martini, the espresso was perfectly balanced! Classic delectable Caesar salad, and perfectly paired with addicting truffle fries!! My second favorite was the sliders, sooo flavorful!! Nachos were hella loaded and the pretzels sauces were paired great with it! Also got a dirty Tito's martini, it was cool! Overall service was great when we first arrived, not busy at all, but I think we might've gotten overlooked as we chose to sit in the corner booth big table and more guests came and when we were ready to go, it took a second to find our server for the check! Not too bad tho since we were having a chill day, and she was personable, but just makes us a tad hesitant on coming back when it's busier. Good deals though!!
We had a great time at The Vig--fantastic drinks, solid food, and stellar service from Tiana, who was both our server and bartender. She was friendly, attentive, and made some excellent cocktails. We started out on the patio, which is a nice spot, but between the humidity and the misters not doing much, we ended up moving inside. Definitely the right move. DRINKS Daily Mule (mezcal, pomegranate liqueur, vanilla) - Super refreshing, well balanced, and lightly sweet. I loved it, but my husband (a traditional mule loyalist) wasn't a fan. Coug Cup (lemon vodka, elderflower, strawberry purée, prosecco) - Kind of like a floral strawberry lemonade. Pleasant, but a little underwhelming overall. Pineapple Sunrise (tequila, pineapple, hibiscus, lime) - Light and slightly sweet. The hibiscus really comes through. Comes with a Tajin rim, but I preferred it without. Blackberry Smash (bourbon, blackberry, lemon, mint) - As someone raised in Tennessee, this one felt like home. Smooth, fruity, and perfect for a southern summer night. This is the grown-up punch at the cookout. Hands down the best drink of the night. I rarely order a second of the same drink because I like to try new ones, but I got a second Blackberry Smash after our meal. FOOD Noble Pretzel - Slightly over baked and had a mild burnt taste to the exterior, but still good. Queso was tasty, but pretty plain. The house mustard was a whole experience--sharp, PUNGENT, slightly sweet. It has a serious kick, in the best way. Vig Burger - Smelled incredible, and I had high hopes, but it didn't quite live up to the aroma. It was juicy, seasoned and cooked well, but the guacamole made it messy, and the flavors didn't fully come together for me. The fries started off fine but got overly salty as we got further into them. Overall, the drinks, service, and ambiance were fantastic. Tiana took great care of us and clearly knows her way around a cocktail shaker. The food was a little underwhelming, but I'll definitely be back to try their brunch--especially if the drinks are anything like what we had at dinner.

Loved Vig! I have passed this place many times and finally stopped in to try it. I absolutely loved it. I ordered a tea and the salmon. It came with zucchini and creamed corn. It was amazing. I would definitely order this again. I can't wait to stop back in. read more

Grabbed weekend brunch with a party size of 6 this summer and were seated outside in the shaded, misted back patio. I don't remember why, as there was ample seating inside). What brought us to the Vig initially was their bottomless brunch special at $25/person - you must commit to 1 drink: margarita, mimosa, modelo, refills are 1 cent/drink, 2 hour limit, and must accompany food.My sister and I ordered the mimosa and margarita respectively, with the truffle fries $12 and chorizo burrito $14 as our food choices. I didn't get to try her mimosa, but it was served as a glass of champagne with a separate small (like a little bit larger than a shot glass) pitcher of orange juice. Disappointingly, despite the mimosas being bottomless, my sister was only allowed 2 oj's. Had she known this (either being told by our waitress at the beginning or it being mentioned on the menu), she might've rationed her oj better instead of dumping each full portion into her champagne. Ultimately, this limits the "bottomless" nature of the brunch deal. On a more positive note, my margarita was sweet and strong, although it tasted overall watered down compared to other margaritas I've had. The truffle fries were delicious and came in a large portion. The chorizo burrito was insanely greasy, which limited how much we could enjoy it, even though we love chorizo. About the service, our waitress mentioned that she was the only server for the whole restaurant at the time. There ere probably 4 other parties in the whole restaurant, inside and outside. We found her personality to be bit abrasive and unfriendly. Ultimately, I would NOT come back for the bottomless brunch experience, but I WOULD come back to try their happy hour specials, only if invited by friends or if extremely convenient. read more
First time at the Vig for a late evening event with group of 12. Place was open with large patio. Menu was small but diverse and they do it well. I had the poblano chicken enchiladas, they were tasty, burgers and salads were selected by others. No complaints , service was good! read more

Loved it before. A couple of us went in, the seats were so dirty & had bird crap & bugs flying in all over. Walked out.Not the same read more
The Vig is a restaurant that does not have locations near my home. So, when I'm near one I am excited to go! Today's experience lived up to all of my expectations. My husband ordered the Hot Honey chicken sandwich. It was so crispy I could hear it from across the table. He enjoyed it tremendously. Now my Roasted Turkey on a GF bun with Sweet Potato fries. This was like Thanksgiving on a bun. Seriously, it was absolutely delicious. I am not a fan of Slaw, so I requested it on the side. Sure enough, I was glad it wasn't on my sandwich. But that's just a personal preference. read more

Frances made sure our experience was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend their signature drinks! The waiter explained that their menu options change every few months, just to keep their food fun and upbeat! VERY NICE spot for a date night! read more
This is my number pick for restaurant in the valley. I've been to almost every location. The entrees are all consistently delicious and filling. I really like the downtown location because the patio is spacious and has bar seating. The staff are friendly and always greet you with a smile as well. I always recommend The Vig to my friends when they visit AZ. read more

Great atmosphere! The open concept of this restaurant makes it a perfect place for an outdoor brunch/lunch. I visited with a group of coworkers and we all enjoyed our meal. I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich in a lettuce wrap and it was incredible. read more
This is my preferred brunch spot for my neck of the woods. The food was good, our server was efficient and very friendly, and the atmosphere was very casual and relaxed. Prices are fair for the quality and overall experience: not the most inexpensive place but definitely not a budget buster either. read more

The Vig is the perfect spot for your next happy hour. This restaurant is tucked away in Arcadia lite, it has small inside seating and quite large patio. If you come for their happy hour, drinks and appetizers are reasonably priced. After happy hour it's a mixed bag for pricing in relation to the quality of food. I tried their genuine burger and it was good, but the truffle fries were the best part of my meal for sure. The servers were attentive and quick to offer suggestions. read more
