Vinny's Backyard Restaurant

Decided to come here because I heard they had good wings and I had a coupon for <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FLivingsocial.com&s=7775afab5cd705c2dff1c66875ea6b83063bc94dbe8049ecb22aad5cb6614dc3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Livingsocial.com</a>.

The food was good...
(I was in a group of four so we order a couple of things to try)
*Spicy Calamari- ok but not spicy at all.
*Potato Peel- ok but needed more bacon
*Chilli Cheese Fries- good but chilli could have been a lil spicier.
*Buffalo Wings- great! best thing that we order.
*Hot Oil Pizza- very good I didn't taste this but my friends said it was very good.
So overall Food gets 3 stars

Service was also great.  Staff is very friendly.  So overall also 3 stars.

The reason I have it 2 stars is because the owner came up to the bartender who was serving me my snifters of Hennessy and told her she was serving me to much.  Then he took my snifter back and took back half the Congac in the glass.  Worse customer experience!!!

I wish I could meet Vinny, and give him a hug, and thank him for opening his backyard to the public to serve good food, good beer, and a great atmosphere.

I must admit, the whole 'bar in a strip mall' thing was an initial turn off.  But, like my momma taught me, you should never judge a person, or a bar, by its exterior.  And, as always, she was so right.  I've spent a few afternoons at the bar, for lunch, which turned into a longer afternoon.  The food is surprisingly good - my go-to has been the BBQ Chicken Salad - it's fresh, and the basil with the lettuce adds a bit of unique flavor.  Nachos are also tasty, and the pizza with the very thin crust is the best.  It's very easy to eat an entire pizza yourself.

The bartenders are always friendly, and very non-intrusive.  Anytime we push our beer glasses up, it's quickly refilled, and refilled, and refilled.

Will be back, probably many times.  And will definitely not turn away from a bar in strip mall again.

Excellent family restaurant. Pizza is thin crust and great. Sports bar attached with really good wings.
