Yummy brunch, huge drinks

by mld365

This place just celebrated their 25th anniversary. I went to the party and it was rocking. These guys know how to have a good time. I have always gone for Sat/Sun bunch and just found out there is an all you can eat brunch for $10 and bottomless bloodies and mimosas for $15 more! Great atmosphere for business lunch during the week. I think it'd be cool for a private party but haven't done that yet! Oh yea....There's a new location in Glenwood Park too!

• Pros: Great burgers, good drinks
• Cons: None

Still O.K. Patio----But Everything Else Is Sorta Has Been. Staff Drinking On Duty?

by atlcuisineguy

This place has been around for years. It was unique for it's patio when Midtown was starting to be the place. We stopped by before going to the new Opera. Drinks were O.K. But what really bothered us, was our server/host, think his name is Tommy, doing shots while he was working. Seems like a fun fellow, but is this the right thing to do at work. Oh well.

• Pros: Decent Midtown Patio
• Cons: Staff Drinking On Duty

Good and Bad here

by neatomosquito

Hmmmm....I'm trying to come up with the right words. Ah...well, the restaurant itself was cozy although a little smoky. Cured that by sitting in the back. It also appeared to be very well-maintained which was nice to see. The patio in front was cozy too. So why am I hesitating? I guess it was the food. Butter and liquid smoke and pureed sweet potatoes is all I can remember. To translate, the sauces were all very buttery, the pork loin which was nicely done was topped with peaches that were supposed to taste grilled but tasted very clearly of liquid smoke and they pureed the sweet potatoes. Why? Having sampled the food in England once I suppose I can see where this butter thing comes from but hey...help us out here. I could feel my veins clogging with each bite. And back to the pureed sweet potatoes. I kind of felt like I was in a nursing home. What happened to a good old fashioned mashing. So would I go back? Yeah, probably to sit out on the patio and have a brew or two. Or...better yet, stick to burgers or something more basic. Oh yeah, the waiter was a really nice young lady who was working hard.

• Pros: Nice cozy atmosphere
• Cons: Why was everything soaked in a butter sauce????????

Great Midtown Lunch Spot

by smatl

I had lunch here on a weekday. I absolutely love the atmosphere-- the red vinyl booths are great, very retro! My server recommended the ahi tuna salad with asian ginger dressing. The salad was very good as was the quality of the tuna-- much better than I expected considering they bill themselves as a "bar." There was too much pepper on the crust of the tuna and the cracker/flat bread thing that came with the salad was hard to eat, but that's my only complaint.

Great place for relaxing

by piga22

I came here for a friend's birthday party recently and absolutely loved it. Didn't try any of the food but the cocktails and bar selection were wonderful. It's a great place to go and chill and the laid-back atmosphere really made the whole night enjoyable. Although there was a good-sized crowd, none of us felt crowded or overwhelmed like you do in a lot of places. The best part was I didn't smell leaving like a bar (smoky and gross). I highly recommend this place to anyone!

• Pros: cocktails, great service, atmosphere
• Cons: parking

Would not recommend...

by courtmed

I went here a few months ago and found it very gross. The smell inside the place was very stale and the food was not good. I ordered crab cakes and there was hardly any crab and they were really greasy. I like the patio but there are better places you can go.

Give It Up!

by jaymaygm

Twenty years ago, Vickery's was the place, and the Crescent area still is, but not Vickery's. The quality of food, drinks and staff has severly gone down hill. Hey guys, make it over, it could be great again!

• Pros: It's On Crescent Avenue!
• Cons: Everything!
