One of the best spots in Chicago - great service, good vibe and everything on the menu is consistently good. Fried chicken sandwich is one of my favorites in ChicagoUpvoted 1 week ago
ElenaNovember 26, 2016They have my favorite outdoor seating in Old Town. Food is good and it's a great place for casual nights. I like the deviled eggs, wings, and mac and cheese.
LAMIANovember 12, 2018I prefer outdoor seating coz the atmosphere is a bit 2 loud. I love the food, the Vig burger is very good and The spreads are delicious too (artichoke and kale, edamame hummus and pimento cheese)
Ryan SnellApril 9, 2016Chicken (esp. fried) is definitely their thing, but the Bao Bun chicken sandwich is truly special. Try the ham and cheese pretzel croissants as well. Service is extremely cheery; a nice, clean vibe.
Nick AguirreDecember 13, 2015Quite possibly the best Mac and Cheese I've ever eaten. The interior design is notable, the service is on point, excellent craft beer selection and the food is definitely worth the price.
Lili LiaskasNovember 18, 2015Cool spot with right-on food! Must try the fried chicken and Mac n Cheese! I aways judge a place by their Brussels sprouts and The Vig passes with flying colors. Can't wait to come back.
Stephanie JacksonMay 26, 2019Delicious food with many low-carb options and a very creative cocktail menu. Great service and ample patio seating!
Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 20, 2018Located near Zanies comedy club, this is a fun restaurant for food and beverage. Try the Lobster deviled eggs as a starter. Wicked good.- Zach Solomon-BeloinJune 27, 2016Great place to go for late nights with your friends. Good atmosphere. EDM crowd on Friday and Saturday nights, but during the day they have good food.
Joey NowakDecember 21, 2019Probably the most interesting menu (and one of the best vibes) in Old Town.
Kris SantanaAugust 5, 2016The food is so delicious!! But The whole place is so nice, I was on the little terrace and loved it.
Jessica SchultzJanuary 14, 2016The food and drink selection was fantastic. Their salmon in Thai butter sauce was delicious! Also the ambiance is really great.
Allison KaminskiApril 5, 2016Wings, short rib and warm cheese spreads are awesome!! Killer drink menu with tons of beers to choose from- Natalie VApril 23, 2017The fried chicken and Mac and cheese is a winner! The portions are massive too
Bitches Who BrunchNovember 2, 2016This brunch was above average on the grading scale but do not opt for the cheap and chintzy lobster eggs Benedict. Read more
Kaylene KroemerApril 9, 2017Start off with the "Spreads"- I would even be satisfied with that for a whole meal! Great atmosphere- Rosemary MNovember 22, 2015If you want to try the fried chicken at a smaller scale, get the fried chicken sandwich.... delicious!
- Angie OsmanskiMarch 21, 2016Great atmosphere with a changing specialty drink menu depending on he season
- Christopher FlossJanuary 23, 2016Don't forget about brunch at The VIG! Fun venue in Chicago's Old Town.
RosieDecember 5, 2015Not impressed. Martinis served in Margarita glasses, no sugar on rim of a Lemon Drop. Would not split the brussel sprout salad for two. Will not return.
