Flavors On the Vine Family Restaurant

I probably won’t go again unless in a pinch for diner food. Don’t see that happening though.
Pros:
–it’s a diner
Cons:
–a little overpriced but not MUCH.
–the waitress/​service is HORRIBLE (hey management, hire more people you cheap-​asses)
–the credit card system forces you to tell the cashier how much of a tip you want to leave… come on guys… get with it.
The food wasn’t good. It wasn’t poison but not one aspect of it was done correctly (think breakfast at a diner as far as what was on the plate). Parking is in the rear and a little confusing as far as finding your way in (there is a door in the rear but there is a gauntlet of seated customers to walk through to get to the front.
I just think the owner needs to pull their head out of their a$# is all…

Food is good and the m-​f specials are a great deal! Have been going here for a long time and will continue.

I love this place. People who are leaving negative reviews have unreal expectations for a place like this.
The service has always been friendly, sure they don’t always ask you how are you, where did you go on vacation or ask about your blood type. I don’t have an issue with them just asking my drink, my order, asking if I need anything else and if everything is good. They are prompt and down to business. I don’t go out to eat to chat it up with staff so this suits me perfectly. I’ve also seen the staff absolutely chat it up with others while I’m in there, so I think a lot of people on here have unusually high expectations for a diner.
Now the food, the fries are battered first and totally delicious.
The tj ½ lb cheese burger, shockingly good! The gyro, good but not to write home about, the Ruben is a typical favorite of mine. My mother often gets the fried fish, which has always been great and perfectly cooked (granted we aren’t getting any fancy types, usually a fish sandwich or the special). She has also enjoyed the eggplant in the past.
The salad bar is kind of a buzz kill, the soups are alright, I guess they can satisfy the craving. This is just really if you want a healthier side to your meal than fries, don’t go expecting anything grand from the salad bar!
The prices are fair not dirt cheap but everyone can eat easily for under $ 10.
I go here every time I’m in town and just want something quick simple and no fuss.

breakfast food — yumma. Lunch and Dinner — AWFUL… their salad bar… well I’ve had better salad in jail! JKJK! But the service is AMAZING! Unbelievable great amazing service! Seriously I’ve been going since I was a little girl in the 80’s … It’s the local breakfast joint for Greaselake Natives! It’s home. It’s family… it’s HOME!

The food portions and prices are quite good for a family style restaurant. The service, on the other hand, is practically non-​existent. Sit at the counter, if you are wishing to be totally ignored.

Slow, incompetent service delivered with a snarl. My family will not back.

I often eat here. The prices are reasonable, and the is good. What I like best is the all you can eat fish fry on Fridays. The fish is excellent. Their salad and soup bar is also exceptional.

So after I sat at a booth I hear «something to drink?» Not one hello or how are you, only something to drink. That wasn’t our server. Our server never smiled only said «ready to order.» VERY RUDE PEOPLE! No people skills what so ever! The food was okay for breakfast and very cheap. I felt like I was bothering them by eating there.

Most of the food is great. Breakfast is the best. The salad bar includes some good homemade soup, but the salad bar itself is pretty lackluster – I wonder about the freshness and how long they keep stuff before throwing it away, because it’s filled with some very odd choices that the greater portion of the public wouldn’t put on their salad. Things like, kidney and garbanzo beans, cold spaghetti tossed with some black olives and Italian dressing (yuck), canned fruit salad… Even the lettuce has brown, curled up edges. Also, they need to get some new booths and carpeting, It’s rather annoying to sit down in a booth that has duck-​tape across a big crack in the seat, then sink to the floor because the springs have outlasted the frame. The carpet is a bit sticky, too. Just saying.

Went to Flavors on the Vine for the first time in a few years last week. It made me remember why I stopped going. The baked Orange Roughy, which cost over $ 11.00 was so overcooked it was actually crunchy. My husband’s veal was terrible. My one daughter french toast with sausage. The sausage tasted «gamey» which is a first and my other daughter’s meatball was so inedible I actually spit it into a napkin after I tasted it. This place has really gone downhill. The bill came to $ 38.00 which for a place like Flavors on the Vine is way too much. The only good thing was our waitress, Kathy. She was funny and nice. I will not return

I came to this place because I was told I had to try it. I got a cheeseburger, and split some food with my party too. It’s EXTREMELY cheap in price. Making it a place you could eat at daily if you didn’t want to cool.
The atmosphere was much like any other family restaurant, nothing special but comforting. I enjoyed it, and I expect I’ll be going back!

Great Food. Fun entertainments for kids and senior citizens. My wife and I were in surprized with music entertainment while we dine.
Great soup and salad. Atmosphere is great. Price is very affordable to have a great meal.
