Vinnys Italian Grill

4pmWednesday Came in for an order of baked spaghetti. Wasn't busy at all so I was helped immediately. Didn't take long to get my order to go. Family atmosphere and everything appeared clean. It had a 5star rating on Google so I thought I'd give it a try.

This was my first time at Vinny's. Its location is right on the main road and has plenty of parking. I went during lunch hour and it was pretty busy. The initial walk in I was met at the door and the place was appealing and someone seated me right away. The ambiance was very casual with music and chatter of other guests. Once seated it took about 3 minutes to get a menu and get asked for a drink. My server was okay. She seemed a bit distracted at times but was attentive when she made her way back to me. I had the Philly cheesesteak sub with onion rings. The food was tasty but wasn't something I have to get again. The onion rings were cooked perfectly. The sub was a good cheesesteak with a good amount of cheese worked into the ribeye. The meat was nice and tender and had a good taste.All in all it was a good visit. I'd go back to try different menu items.

Everything I have been here the food is outstanding. Service is always good and they will work on special requests.

My wife and I stopped in for a late dinner. It was 930 pm and they close at 1030 pm. We ordered a greek salad and a Works large pizza. The greek salad was crisp and good. The pizza came out fast as well and was very good.I think our waiter had had a long day. He seemed whipped and brought sweet tea instead of unsweet that we ordered. And the tea had no ice in it. But he brought ice out as well.The food was very good and we will eat there again.. just maybe takeout.Great location. Easy parking. Friendly people behind the counter.

We stopped in at Vinny's to give it a try for lunch on Friday. From the website, it looks like Vinny's has 13+ locations in Virginia and North Carolina. It looks like maybe it's a franchise, but I'm not sure. Definitely not a Mom and Pop 'local' place. It's pretty easy to find, it's in a brand new stand-alone building, and seemed to have plenty of parking. The staff was welcoming and we were seated almost immediately, though the place was busy and close to full. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Our orders were gathered and our drinks were refilled pretty quickly. We started with the handmade mozzarella sticks. They were very crispy on the outside and melty on the inside and we mostly liked the taste. It felt like the cheese sticks could have used a light sprinkle of salt before being breaded (or maybe added into the breading itself.. not sure which would taste better), but we got around it by sprinkling a little salt on our plate and mushing the gooey cheese into the salt before dipping into marinara and/or ranch. My friend ordered the lunch baked spaghetti. The spaghetti was sizeable, even for a lunch portion, and the sauce had a unique flavor to me, almost like a BBQ or Manwich flavor, with lots of meat, and a side order of garlic toast. I was surprised that we weren't asked if we wanted meat sauce or marinara sauce and that it didn't come with a salad. Take note if you're like me and like spaghetti with only marinara. Also, we would have liked a bit more butter on the toast, but it was crisp and yummy. I ordered the chicken parm sub, which came with chips, but we upgraded to onion rings for $2. The rings were crispy and flavorful, but the onions were cut thin, so they cooked down a lot leaving a lot of batter and a little onion. If these are hand made, it might be nice to experiment with wider, thicker cut onions. The chicken parm sub came on a large, toasty roll that did a great job containing the chicken, sauce, and cheese. I would have liked a half size sub as a lunch portion, as they never reheat well. If you order it for lunch, maybe move all the chicken to one half of the roll. The chicken appeared to be pounded thin and fried. It had an okay flavor, but a little dry... not the best, not the worst.IMHO, if you're in the area, there are a lot of Italian options, but if you give it a try, let us know what you think! We will probably go at least one more time to try the pizza. Looking forward to reading your review.

Neighborhood place, family owned I assume. Servers were good. Greeter glared at us and said nothing. There was a debate with 2 staff members going on right behind us and we were seated front of house. Debating who was in charge- unpleasant.Food was okay- some not hot enough. We will try pizza sometime. Maybe carry out is better? We want to like it because it's local. Will try again. Maybe a bad night?

Bobby, the bartender, was absolutely incredible. He created the most welcoming and knowledge-filled environment. He produced the most amazing desert cocktails I've ever had. Baklava. Banana split. Key lime pie. Vanilla cream float. Strawberry balsamic??? I need an entire YouTube show of him teaching us the origins of his drinks.NOTE: his signature drink is the Godfather

We stopped by because we have not been here before and ordered a 12 inch lunch small works pizza without onions. Emma took our order right away and was very friendly. The restaurant also has alcohol on tap. Nice place for families too. We enjoyed our pizza with black olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, ground chuck, and green peppers. Comes out hot and cooked perfectly. The bread that the pizza was on was tasty too. Looked like it was in a fire wood baked oven. We enjoyed the meal and plan to go back and maybe get one of their paninis. We were hungry so ate the pizza before we had a chance to take pictures.

Food was amazing and service was amazing very attentive, as well one of the best restaurants Ive been too.

Popular little restaurant with large portions. Arrived at 5:30pm on a weeknight and the restaurant was filled with customers. Service was fast and pleasant - servers were all hustling. Our table ordered baked spaghetti, chicken Parmesan, and penne ala vodka. Everything was hot and satisfying- not the best Italian food I ever had but perfect for the price. If you are looking for great value and tasty food, this is the place for you.
