The Vining Palace

We ordered take-out chicken dinners based on the great reviews. It has been several years since we have eaten here and wanted to see how things with the new owners have changed. The new owners are very friendly and my husband spoke favorably of the changes inside. (He picked up the order.) Said it would be a really nice place to watch a game, etc. As to the food. The chicken was very moist and hot, but for us it was disappointing as to taste. A little bland for us. We kind of felt the same way about the potatoes. The coleslaw was fine but nothing special. Chicken places are a dime a dozen in the area and there are others that we prefer. But I could also see why this option would be preferable to some people.We still intend to try the place again and try some other things on the menu and perhaps watch a game.

Fried chicken was the best I have had in as long as I can remember! Friendly service and good prices.

CHICKEN! The fried pickles are new to me and were awesome. The broasted potatoes as good as ever, as was the chicken. The new owners have brought in new energy and pizazz, yet retained its old feel of being dive-y and nostalgic. Long live the Vining Palace!

First off, the 4 dollar signs on the entry here are wrong. This is a hip, rural fried chicken joint with VERY reasonable prices. The chicken dinner comes with broasted potatoes, a roll, sour cream, and 2 of the best pieces of fried chicken (also called broasted ) to be found anywhere.Crisp, moist, tasty and original. Vining is a tiny town. About 2 blocks long; this chicken and the Nyberg Sculpture Garden are 2 great reasons to visit.

the new owner is such a sweetheart so is the bar manager and the place looks amazing the environment in the palace is now so inviting so cozy and they treat you so well everyone should go enjoy and experience the new palace

Burgers are phenomenal. Broasted chicken is delicious and juicy. Portions are great and prices are better.

Amazing food and service was great I now crave the wings wish it was a chain the one thing that was bad was the massive population of flies

New owner Tina has gone all out to update interior and menu while keeping the great broasted chicken and updating the menu. Prices are very fair IMO. Best place to watch sports in the area with two new 75" tvs. All of the best local servers from the area have started working here.

NEVER AGAIN. My family arrived at your restaurant tonight and the waiter was immediately upset of the large group. Regardless, customers should be treated respectfully, and not be given the middle finger and told "fu** you," by the waiter. Obviously this place of "business" doesn't care much for customer service, and have no manners whatsoever. Another of my family members was told by the waiter that she must "do her work on her knees." SERIOUSLY? What kind of comment is that?! Incredibly rude, disgusting, and lots of swearing. We will NEVER return to this business place and NEVER recommend to anyone. Left before the food came, no point in taking that kind of harassment and verbal abuse.

Broasted chicken is dry. Rest of the food is over fried and greasy. Service is slow and rude. what could be a small town hit is wilting into another dying business
