This rating is more for the drink I had there. I typically will get a The Flying High margarita when I go as it tastes phenomenal but I don't know what they did but they completely botched it. It tasted like bad water with a lime taste. We were sitting at the bar and I was polite and told the bartender that it doesn't taste right and I would like something different, he looked offended and said 'ok' in a rude tone. He was tall and bald. Other than that I love the food here and the atmosphere is very nice. read more

This place has a magnificent ambiance from the bar to the patio. Staff was friendly and the service is prompt. Nothing exciting about the menu choices, food presentation, or flavor profiles. read more

First time at this location and we loved it! Still has the same great vibe as Ladera but there's a freshness and warmth to the patio for sure. It was 45 degrees outside and we were more than comfortable on the patio. Highly recommend the chopped grilled chicken salad and also the pretzel on the appetizer menu. Happy hour had great choices and prices as well. We were a table of 4 and everyone had fabulous food. Service and the hostess were super welcoming as well. We will definitely be returning soon! read more

Beautiful open patio area ... great service. Would recommend for large groups as well. The avocado toast is wonderful. Even Sunday brunch turned out to be a very nice. read more

Visited The Vig for the first time. We were there for Sunday lunch. Very relaxing atmosphere, there was a guitar player out on the patio. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The food was very good, the entire vibe reminded me of Southern California. I'll be back! read more

I ordered takeout at The Vig, the Fathers Day Special, and it was delicious. I met the manager and was impressed with the food, service and ambiance. I look forward to returning to dine-in. Thank you for the great experience. read more

Food is great. Josie is a wonderful server and is kind and full of good food recommendations.

René was our server, and he was great--so helpful and friendly. The patio is wonderfully cool with a European vibe. There were 5 of us and we all enjoyed our meals. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we will definitely be returning!!! read more

I recently visited The Vig with my husband. I ordered the Herb Roasted Chicken Breast. I was extremely disappointed that the chicken tasted like something from a hospital cafeteria! It was dry, tasteless and looked liked it was boiled! I advised the waitresses and all I got was oh sorry about that. We definitely won't be back and can't wait till O.H.S.O brewery opens close by. Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere. read more

We bring all our out of town visitors here. Love having a great restaurant down the street!

I love the Vigs menu, my favorite is their honey hot sand which and their chopped salad. This is a new location for them and it's beautiful! Love that they keep adding more locations. Every Vig restaurant has a great outdoor indoor setting and this is no exception. Great new addition to the VIG family! read more

We had a particularly lovely time at the Vig. Loved it's talked away private coziness. Intimate setting indoors and ivy clad walls on the covered patio outdoors beautiful fireplace, cozy conversation areas, and extremely attentive service. The food was interesting in a good way beautifully presented and priced fairly. read more

Absolute best patio atmosphere. Gorgeous day for Sunday brunch and the live music was a great addition! Food was excellent as usual and service phenomenal. One of our favorite places for brunch and dinner. read more

See all

great location. beautiful patio with fireplace. we went on a Sunday, to take advantage of 1/2 bottles of wine-and in fact were charged full price. mind you, this should have been recognized by us when we paid bill (shame on us). overall food was good but most every item our party ordered was over salted. with the many restaurant options to choose from in the area, we probably won't return read more

This place was such a disappointment. The hostess and manager had no idea how to seat people. Several people in line in front of us they told a few minutes, but they were returning after waiting 30 minutes and upset they weren't sat. We were then told a 1 hour wait. There were about 15 open tables that we were told were "reserved". After 40 minutes and no one showing up for their reservation we asked if we could sit at a small table that was open the entire time we waited. They sat us there. The entire time we were there (2.5 hours) no one sat at the 15 open tables. The food, just mediocre. We got the nachos and tacos. Tacos were $20 for 3 tacos. I ordered The Cheeky Lil Devil and that showed up after all our food was served. It was basically straight chili vodka and hard to even drink. We are so disappointed. We used to come here every week when this place was Ladera. Ladera was SO MUCH BETTER. They ruined this place by making it The Vig. read more

ordered the chefs board. nothing like the photI and not cheap. don't waste your money. read more

The Vig - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Food and service was great but their signature cocktails are tiny!!! The Cadallac Margarita was tasty but for $16 it was definitely not worth it. read more

This place is a whole vibe! I've been to many of the other Vig locations plenty of time. Even had my first date with my man at the original uptown location. We went on a rainy Sunday for brunch without a reservation.The outside patio was limited due to the storm the night before but it was so cute and cozy. I would could even imagine have a rehearsal dinner there if I ever get married. We were seated inside quickly in a great booth with a direct view of a guy playing acoustic guitar. The food was delicious, can't wait to go back! read more

The vibe here is everything. The staff is great atmosphere is great and they have some great outdoor seating. I also had their tacos which surprised me, I didn't anticipate them being so good. read more

Stopped in late evening for a light plate and beverage. We loved the cauliflower appetizer and we are certain it is not healthy because it was so delicious! Cocktails were well crafted and also tasty! Ambiance was very classy and beautiful. The service was slow but friendly and fun. I have recommended this place to friends in the area for a nice evening out! read more

We went to this place to find something new in the neighborhood. All and all, this place has potential but for the price you pay there are probably better options. The waitress got our order wrong and we had to correct her from getting the shrimp and crab enchiladas instead of the ceviche. Cadillac margarita was smooth and luxurious. The cheeky little devil margarita was almost undrinkable and should have been left in hell. We ordered 2 appetizer the white bean hummus and the calamari. The Calamari was good. The hummus I though could have had some stronger flavors or more lemon, but still delicious. However, The appetizers came out after our main entrees. For the entrees, the enchiladas we ordered had wonderful flavors. However, the plate and the enchiladas were cold. Has a long way to go before reaching culinary excellence. The brussel sprout and kale salad was interesting but the spices were overpowering. I still enjoyed this dining experience and would try again to see if they maybe the needed changes. read more

Three of us went there today, the patio / ambiance is great! One of the reasons we go there. The service is always lacking and inconsistent. The server was very friendly, but often no where to be found. We didn't get an itemized bill either, so we have no idea if they took off one of the meals that was awful! The breakfast potatoes had way too much rosemary. This is a great spot, just wish management and the ownership would work on heighten customer service and consistency with food. We were also told the chef wouldn't do just one pancake, so you have to buy the entire dish. Reasons why this chains restaurants are never as busy as others in central Phoenix and there is never a wait. read more

As mentioned, the parking situation is a little different but plenty of spots in the lot just past the restaurant. The patio area is fantastic, lots of greenery and plenty of seating options, as well as a cozy fireplace. The house wines were very good, and they had several cocktails on the happy hour menu that our table enjoyed. Most of the food was delicious, including cauliflower tacos, nachos, posole and soft pretzel appetizer. Only the sliders were disappointing, as they were dry and overcooked. Will definitely be back to try other items! read more

I really want to love this place since I come here so often. Food is delicious but the service is a hit or a miss. I went tonight with my boyfriend for dinner and we were waiting for our waiter to come and greet us or give us water for almost 20 minutes. Having to wait 20 minutes to even be greeted is ridiculous. Other people were seated and served water within the first 2 minutes of them arriving. The restaurant was not very busy and multiple waiters walked by multiple times so I couldn't understand why we weren't being served. read more

Finally got a table after being turned down the Pat town trips. Got seated, go menus 30 minutes later, go a drink 30 minutes after that. Ordered apps and ab waitress another 39 minutes and got nothing. Please don't dine here. Coming from a life long Vig guy, this place is trash. read more

I'm a regular & the staff is outstanding. The bar mgr. Ryan is the heart & soul of The Vig, though Josie, who serves tables & also steps in to manage deserves great praise, as well. Mark, Jake & Jabon & the rest of the support staff are awesome, as well. Can't leave out the mgr. Jared, as he oversees everything & also does a great job. Still worth 5*, but bring back the Turkey Club Sandwich. The pretzel bread on the Turkey Pastrami is overwhelming & there wasn't any reason to replace a big seller. If anything, maybe add pastrami to the Turkey Club or replace the pretzel bread with a return to the toasted bread. Thx for reading my review. Stay great! read more

I love love love this place. Always such a great staff of people serving. Love the live music at the McDowell Mountain location. I always recommend this restaurant for any occasion. read more

Went back and everything was much better. Food and service was great. I'm happy with this place. Bar was packed on a Tuesday which is a good sign. read more

Made a reservation for the following evening at the reception podium, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Received a text shortly before our reservation time. Arrived and was treated with a warm sense of urgency. Was happy to be given options as to where we would like to sit. Service was a bit slow to take cocktail and appetizer orders, but once that was initiated things moved a little more quickly. Staff was great! Friendly, knowledgable and polite. Ambiance was "cool". Not too fancy, but warm, inviting and welcoming, but felt elevated and comfortable. Food and drinks were good. Nothing "mind blowing", but really good, well made, great flavors and choice ingredients. Will go back again for sure! read more

Service was very slow. Food was meh. Too many good restaurants in North Central serving the same food. They didn't change anything from the previous restaurant so the atmosphere is really nice. read more

Excellent service. Food was great. The patio is amazing. We sat outside and it was pleasant with fans and misters going. They have a decent selection of tap beers. They had TV's on outside playing the AZ Cardinals. We look forward to going back for more football and a great welcoming atmosphere!! read more

Went to The Vig tonight and believe it or not sat on the patio. They had plenty of misters going and it was actually quite pleasant! Service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive even though we were the only ones sitting outside. Food was great. I got the veggie tacos and they were delicious. I ordered it without potatoes and was happy they were able to make as a special order. My husband got the Genuine cheeseburger and he was very happy. He ordered it with a side salad that had greens and arugula that he said was fresh and tasty. Excellent selection of beers on tap with several Arizona beers to chose from. Will definitely go back soon. read more

We asked for a salad with the dressing on the side and it came drenched with dressing. We informed our server of the mistake and he said he would replace it. The salad that came out was 1/3 of the size of the original salad that was brought to us and was missing several ingredients that were listed. We informed our server and he mentioned that he would speak with the manager about it. When the check came, the salad was still on our bill. At that point, we decided to just pay the bill due to it getting late. I would not have left this review in the first place or said anything to our server, but I was most disappointed that the restaurant's manager was the one that brought the second dish to our table (not to mention that it is an overpriced dish in the first place). A restaurant manager should know the quality of the dishes that his cooks put out and been appalled at the presentation and overall quality of the dish that we were served. read more

Was so excited to try out the new Vig. The atmosphere was amazing and the patio breathtaking. We sat at the bar and our bartender/server was great! However, we were completely disappointed with the food. The calamari we always crave and remember from Uptown, was definitely not the old recipe and very disappointing. The salmon and cauliflower mash and various squash was horrible, the Brussels sprouts were the only decent part of the plate. My Maui Maui sandwich was literally the worst thing I have tasted. The taste of chemicals and fish is only able to be pinpointed to the taste and smell of meth. I really hope that the staff tastes the food before serving it from now on. There is no one in their right mind that can describe the food as good! read more

Service and food were really good! Hamburger was delicious. The staff split a meal and waiter was wonderful. Bread pudding was hot and yummy. read more

Great food nice patio and great service. Parking can be an issue but not that bad. Will definitely come back.

My husband and I came here for a brunch and per our servers recommendation we got the chilaquiles and cinnamon roll. The atmosphere was great, not like many über loud brunch places. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing and the cinnamon roll tasted like it came straight from the bakery! Our server, Crystal, made the experience all the more better. She was attentive, funny, and super sweet, we would go back just for her! If you go, ask for her, she will give you great recommendations and awesome service. read more

Super disappointed. This place has a great patio but that's about it. We arrived just after the start of brunch and were seated on the couches since we didn't have a reservation. This is despite the fact that most of the tables around us were vacant, and remained primarily vacant throughout the 90 + mins we were there. 4 seated at the couches with a small coffee table wasn't ideal. Service was a complete joke. The girl that waited on us was less than enthusiastic and a poor server. We had to flag her down for basics numerous times. Dirty cups and plates piling up on the small table and she didn't bother to lift a finger to remove them. The food was mediocre at very best. I used a half a bottle of Tabasco on my flavorless quiche. Getting a drink refill was a challenge and our water bottles sat empty for more than half of the time we were there. $97 for brunch for two. That would be fine if the service and quality were there but not even close. We will not be back and friends will also be warned. Ladera was so much better. Too bad. read more

We haven't been overly impressed with The Vig in the past but found it only fair that we try this new location. Our friends arrived before us and we're rudely met with "Well do you have a reservation". We did not. It was Sunday brunch and we arrived close to opening. We couldn't be seated at a table but were directed to couches surrounding a small table. It took quite a while for the waitress to greet the table. We ordered drinks. As she delivers the drinks and was quickly walking away, we quickly asked for the chips and queso (it was fair at best and a bit runny). Quite a bit later the waitress returned to ask how the queso was but did so, again, as she was walking away. Again, we quickly stated that we were ready to order. Our food was divided. One said the Mahi sandwich was good. The eggs Benedict mediocre as it has everything to do with the hollandaise. The vegetarian quiche left much to be desired, and the accompanying salad left even more to be desired. The veggie patty cheeseburger was decent. Overall the food was par. The service was horrible. Oh, lest I forget, there were numerous tables still left unseated when we left so I'm not sure why we were pushed to the couch with the small table. Lastly, over priced for small portions and sub-par service. read more

My wife has a black pepper allergy making it difficult to find things out in restaurants. We went to the big she was able to order a salad with dressing I ordered a hamburger medium. Burger came it was good except that it was overdone. Medium shouldn't be that tough. Will give the Vig another try and see if they can get it right ne read more
