Nice neighborhood casual go to spot. The kids love the thin crust pizza. They have great burgers/​wings and nice cold beer on tap. The games are usually on and they offer extra large booths for the larger families. Can get busy on the weekends.

I been coming here for about 15 years usually is takeout is always been fine…
Tonight we sat at the bar and Cristina was the bartender got a beer ordered my food then I asked for a second beer she acknowledged it and proceeded to serve a couple sitting at the bar then out of the bar to serves table do some chitchat then back to the bar to chitchat a little more with the previous couple and completely ignored us. I had to get the manager to get a beer out of her, when she got it to me left it with the biggest attitude and walked away with no word been said. The attitude on this girl is clearly the reason why this place gets bad reviews about their service. If you don’t like your job find another one!!! Don’t hurt a good place with your sorry attitude.

Went with family for lunch. Was instantly poisoned by a salad pizza ! Barely made it to the ladies room! I can’t imagine the condition of the kitchen to cause such immediate and severe food poisoning. Scary!

We come about once/​week. It’s the best local bar around, for both drinks and food. People are awesome, the TVs are great, and the overall atmosphere is super friendly. In fact, I’m writing this review because we’re leaving in a few minutes to come!

Average food. The restaraunt side has peculiar décor for a sports bar. Kid friendly. The bar side has a nice and big U shaped bar. Wings are good.

Where do we begin… ordered a burger took over 30 minutes to get… the place was empty… the service was to be kind not attentive… BUT the real topper is being RIPPED OFF on the check! They round the change UP to the nearest nickel… THAT IS A RIP OFF AND ILLEGAL. BEWARE! I asked about this practice the patent answer is the BOSS says to do it because it is easier accounting. How lame. The food is ok, the soda was flat. Desserts are the best item on the menu.

So here is the deal as straight forward as it can be. It is a nice local bar to go for a drink, hangout or watch a game. The pizza and wings are good enough and the prices on the nights they have specials make it a good bang for your buck. There is a good selection of beers on tap and the pours on the whiskey are excellent.
The only real criticism is that the overall service at the bar is slow (and that is being nice). It is a long bar that typically has two bartenders which is more than enough staff to handle whatever is going on but the fact is they walk up and down the bar with their heads down and short of waving your hands like a lunatic it can be hard to get their attention.
Bottom line when you go there lower your expectation on service and enjoy the night with reasonably priced drinks and bar food.

Good wings, blah nachos, and blah pizza. I ordered water and it tasted like if the water pipe broke, nasty, so we had to return it a ordered a soda. There are not refills for soda. Kids chicken tenders totally over priced, $ 6 for 2 tenders and fries and it doesn’t come with a drink. We ordered the large wings for$ 13 (15 of them) it came w/​13 (pitiful to count them but we did). The nachos were not that good, I have had better and with a lot more. The pizza has a very very thin crust that it was like eating water crackers with cheese and toppings for $ 12. We will not come back.

Just when you thought the service couldn’t get any worse, it does. You might think that if you were in the business of selling food and drinks you might want to pay attention to your customers. But that does seem as important as hanging out with your friends.

Reasonably priced with a large oval bar, which is great because you may want to steer clear of the dining area unless you have kids of your own. The ribs are very good, but pricy, and for old timers like me, they are the same ribs as the former Fireside restaurant that was once located down the block and is now a condominium. The Wings, burgers and salads topped with chicken are also good.

Great family place. Love there are always families here and they accommodate. Food is pretty decent too. I love the nachos! Service is a bit slow and can get crowded at times. Wish they were open for lunch more often too.

While on vacation, my family likes to hit the mom & pop type restaurants. After reading some of the reviews for their wings, we settled on Vinnie’s. My wife had the coffee burger which she thought was good, although she said she didn’t really taste the coffee. My son had the cheese pizza which was good also. My daughter and I both got a large order of the original wings which were delicious. We debated on getting some more to go because we liked them so well. Would definitely eat there again.

The wings are delicious. Great improvement! The bartender suggested the smoked BBQ wings because they’re $ 6 on Mondays, so I decided to try them. The meat came off the bone so easily, and it was full of flavor. The Buffalo wings were good as well, but I thought they were prepared with too much vinegar. The thin pizzas are addicting and so cheap! Vinny’s is my new favorite spot.

I’ve only ever had the wings (which are just okay), but last night I decided to try the pizza. I’d be lying if I said that I am not salivating right now just thinking about it. The hot oil pizza was perfect. PER-​FECT! I was three slices in before I remembered to take a photo. It was that good.

I have been to Vinny’s a few times in the last few months since moving to the area. The atmosphere is exactly what I am looking for after a long day of work. The crowd is always cheerful and the bartenders and staff on welcoming and attentive. I never have a problem getting a drink or need to wait too long. I usually ask for the bartender, Lauren. All the bartenders are great, but she’s my favorite, good drinks and great service.
All around Vinny’s is a good place to stop by both during the weekday or as a first stop on a weekend night. I highly recommend it!

The smoked wings are good.
Wings and pizza are ok, nothing special.
Wednesday night is wing night. Plenty of TVs to watch a game.

This is a nice bar/​restaurant inside the Springdale shopping center. Perfect for after work or evenings with or without kids. Love their wings — order the chipotle with extra sauce. Burgers are always good but their thin crust pizzas are delicious. Hot oil is the bomb!!!

Great place to bring the kids out to dinner or great place to meet up with friends. My absolute favorite is the salad pizza — best I ever had and crave it often!
Their wings are really good too!

The wife pulled this spot up from the road and we decided to give it a try. Stopped here for a bite to eat on the way to Cape Cod. When you think of the name you expect the restaurant to be on the side of the road in somebody’s backyard. Boy were we suprised to find it in a strip mall of a shopping center. It was a dive bar that was very dark inside. We ordered a plate of wings and 2 hamburgers, along with 2 beers. The service was very quick and the wings were delicious. The burgers were nothing special. We did get great service around noon on a Saturday and the price was good for what we ordered. I recommend the wings as they bring the right amount of flavor and heat.
