We came to the Vintage tavern to enjoy a cover band show , have a few beers with friends and have some bar food . We ordered a pizza which was extremely flabby. Please ask for a crispy pie . Mozzarella sticks were good and my friend enjoyed his Italian hot dog . Good cover band . Thank you for a fun night !!!
Typical American local bar/tavern. I feel like it is better than their sister restaurant (Chimney Rock). Better service, food, and cocktails. Too bad there is no outdoor seating, but it is less crowded due to location? which is a plus. The Fig-Getta-bout-it Cosmo was great!
Tried it once, no plans to return. The customer service was great, from calling in to place order to picking it up; but the food was not up to par. The fish tacos were a joke. You can see in the picture three tiny, tiny pieces of what they're calling cod; overpriced for what I received. The buffalo shrimp tasted odd. The french fries seemed to be old, and were dry. The pierogies were decent. Unfortunately, after eating I felt ill. The decor inside, the bar area, is very dated and the lighting was very low.
First time visiting the 'Vintage Tavern's since it had been remodeled, previously 'Chimney Rock'. A lot is not much different when you enter but the bar and seating outside the bar has been changed quite a bit. There are a lot more TV's at the bar and there is some cool lighting at the bar too. I think they are going for more of a sports bar and I know they have live music more often so many not the family haven Chimney Rock was. Seating is the most notable change as while there are still tables, where there had been booths in the middle these have been swapped out for long tables with tall chairs. It all does look pretty nice. I did not make it to the back rooms on this visit so not sure how that has changed. I can't tell you how the menu has changed except there was an item or two we noticed was no longer available. One other thing Vintage Tavern has retained from Chimney Rock is the consistency of the food. Everything we ordered was quite good and while it's not high dinning you won't have a bad meal here and the menu is quite fun. I will visit again as food is consistent, the menu is diverse and fun and they have great drinks too.
Probably the worst service I had at a restaurant. After taking our order we never saw our waitress again. We ran out of drinks and she didn’t come back. A different waitress dropped our food off, never once asking if we had everything we needed (such as more drinks), or if everything came out well. Will never go back. The food was ok, but not great. Apparently they don’t cook burgers to medium rare, only do medium which is actually charred well done.
The food is always great here. Their Pizzas , Jamaican wings and the fire grilled rice bowl are some of our favorites. The Live band that plays here
Can't recommend the tavern enough. Great bar atmosphere and absolutely the kindest service. The food was fantastic and the drinks were mixed to perfection. Great Friday night vibes with the live band! 10/10 would go back again.
Chimney rock is a classic Berkeley Heights diner and every middle schooler growing up knows about it. I tried it for the first time recently and it was pretty good. The portions are generous and the dishes taste good. 4 stars. These dishes are definitely not meant to taste beyond what people can make at home.
Nice suburban strip mall featuring Paneraâs Bread, Starbucks, Home Goods, Duncan Donuts, etc. plenty of parking. Nice collection of mild mannered shoppers. Great place for lunch.
