Review Source:This place is a hidden gem. The decor and atmosphere are typical" bar". Â There are no cocktail menus just a beer menu. But you are waiting for the hidden gem part.. well the food is really really good. And the pricing is reasonable. Service was fast and friendly. I give this place thumbs up.
Review Source:This place is fantastic. It's a hidden gem. I say that because it doesn't really stand out on busy Old York like a lot of other restaurants do. And no one I talk to has ever heard of it. I've been introducing new ppl to this place for 3 years now, not to mention going there myself at every opportunity. I live in jersey and I still make the drive out there at least 3 times a month to satisfy my craving for their Cajun chicken sandwich. During the day, I have no problem stopping in with the kids to grab lunch, but I love when they dim the lights, raise the volume on the juke box, and I can hang out with my hubby and friends (after 8pm). We can usually eat a fantastic meal for about as much as we'd spend eating at Wendy's. Obviously there's more expensive options, I just happen to be head over heels in love with a particular plate. :) Please give this place a shot. You'll be glad you did.
P.S. The bread and butter they bring to the table.... Freakin amazing. That's all I can say.
Oh! And homemade potato chips! Forget the fries, those chips are great!
Lived in Abington for years, and had passed this place too many times to count.  I dont know if it was the way the parking lot is designed or how its on a busy uninviting corner, I never had the inclination to try it out.  So finally I did with a few friends., And Low and the behold the foods fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their choices.  I was very tempted to ask the reciepe for their wings because its  some of the best wings Ive had in years.  Excellent service, kind people, my black and Blue burger was slammin!  The only downside is I now live in Allentown, and I will have to wait till my next trip down for those wings!!
Review Source:Vintage is one of my favorite neighborhood spots. It's a typical local pub, which means you should stick to pub fare: burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. The few times I've strayed and ordered something a little fancier I've been disappointed. But my husband thinks they make the best burgers in the area, and we are both fans of their salads. On a recent visit I ordered the crab cake sandwich, which was great, too. It can get noisy on weekends, so if you're looking for something quieter, go during the week.
Review Source:My hubby and I used to LIVE at Vintage! We even had our rehearsal dinner here and they really treated us right! The food and service have never let us down, and drink prices aren't bad. Â Several years and 2 kids later, we still love this spot and wish we could come back more often and visit! Â Try their take on Salad Nicoise - huge portion, fresh veggies, rare tuna and AMAZING shallot vinagrette!
Review Source:After a long day of yard work and unpacking boxes, all T and I wanted was a good meal. We decided to try Vintage Bar and Grill based on lots of positive Yelp reviews. Good move on our part! We really dug the whole neighborhood vibe of this place. There's a parking lot in the back which is very helpful and a cute little outdoor porch which, admittedly, doesn't have the best view but is still a nice option in the spring weather.
Our server was a doll and we were immediately served bread with a sundried tomato, garlic butter which was excellent. I had the Traditional Hamburger which was chargrilled and topped with lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, mushrooms and American cheese. Yes, you read that right. I didn't have to pay extra for onions, mushrooms or cheese. I'm a girl that loves a bargain so I was already smitten with this place. The burger was delicious and perfectly cooked and served with what looked like house made fries. T got the BBQ meatloaf which isn't my thing but he really enjoyed the manly food after a day of mowing, raking and sweeping.
We will definitely return to Vintage to try other menu options and to (hopefully) enjoy a Phillies victory on one of their large bar TVs.
This place that is mere inches off Rt 611 just never aesthetically appealed to me but after years of driving by we finally popped in one night. Â We ate outside on the back patio - it was well lit and reasonably nice for an area just off the parking lot. Â Service was good although I ended up feeling sorry for our waitress as I'm sure if she was wearing a pedometer she must put about 27 miles a day on it with how many times she had to walk from outside to in. Â
I had the American Chicken Sandwich (asked for no cheese) and it was good - nicely cooked chicken on a fresh roll with homemade potato chips and coleslaw. Â My husband had the Black and Blue Burger and he raved about it which is rare for him as usually he never gets his burger cooked to his satisfaction! Â We shared the pecan pie for dessert - it was on the sweet side and the whipped cream wasn't real but it was decent.
I guess it was bad luck- went on a Friday night and got the most miserable, lazy server ever. The food wasn't bad, but the fact that we had terrible service ruined it. She would not give us a beer list, which the manager was able to produce. She never came back and asked if the food was okay. She never refilled our glasses and never tried to even be cordial.
I came here in the recommendation of a friend, but I don't think I will be back. I cannot recommend the place. I get better service at McDonald's.
A very close friend has raved about this restaurant for a long time. My wife and I decided to give this very close to home establishment a try. Let me start by saying the listing on this page that the noise level is quiet, is so far from the truth that it should be changed. We went on a Friday night and the noise level was "scream across the table" loud. The food was just okay but granted it was the first time we were there and maybe other choices would have been more impressive. The roasted pepper and garlic butter served with the bread was our first sign that maybe we made a mistake. I did the black and bleu burger with french onion soup. My wife did a crab cake sandwich and seafood bisque soup. I will not knock the food because it really wasn't horrible. But if you want a quiet dinner or do not want to sit on top of each other and on top of the bar area this is NOT THE PLACE TO GO.
Review Source:Thank goodness for Yelp. Â On a little road trip to see friends near Philly, we were about to stop at a restaurant down the street...but the bad reviews turned us away. Â And good reviews led us here. Â We're more biergarten people than sports bar...but that didn't matter. Â Lively Saturday night crowd was fun...good beers, very good burger and very good bacon-wrapped meatloaf sandwich! Â If you're in the area it's definitely worth checking out. Â Recommended.
Review Source:I cant believe I haven't written a review for Vintage! I have been going here for food, drinks, and birthday celebrations for about 7 years. We are always welcomed, by the staff, served good food and drinks and always leave having had a great time.The pulled pork sandwich is a favorite, the Garlicky cajun shrimp app is so so good, the mussles are great, and the best part is dipping the bread with the delicious butter in all the yummy sauces. I love love the cheesecake and the chocolate lava desert too. Can't wait till my next visit.
Review Source:I find it odd that all the reviews of this restaurant are pretty good and yet everyone I speak to has had very negative experiences...including my family and I.
We went there for dinner, after not going for well over a year. Â I ordered the Chinese chopped salad and after taking one bite, realized that the mandarin oranges didn't taste right. Â The server came over and I told her this (I didn't yell, raise my voice at all) and she took it back. Â A couple minutes later she came back to tell me that the cook AGREED with me and that he thinks they were bad. Â He offered to make me another salad but I declined. Â When we got the bill they took the salad off and I asked politely if given the circumstances of having ROTTEN food on my plate if maybe they could comp our drinks for the inconvenience. Â
WELL HERE IT STARTS - the manager/owner, whoever, came out and RUDELY said, "We comped your salad, we are NOT taking anything else off." He then stormed off. Â I was really insulted and embarrassed, not by the fact that they wouldn't do this, but how awful he was. Â I went up to him and told him how nasty he was and right away he assumes I am not going to pay the bill and THREATENS TO CALL THE POLICE! Â Honestly. Â Â He continues to tell me that NOTHING is wrong with the salad (uh, read paragraph above) and that I should never return to his restaurant again. Â Didn't need to be told that - it wouldn't happen anyway.
Disgusting service, rotten food, I think you know how I feel. Â If you are in the neighborhood, go somewhere else, like Timber, where they ALWAYS have great food and above all the BEST service ever.
And the back room smells like moldy wood.
Our 2nd time there and great service once again. Â We tend to go on the early side (6ish) with our young children in tow... and there's usually a line at the door when we leave (7:30). Â The food was great-- I had the filet mignon sandwich with provolone instead of American cheese. Â My husband had the portobella sandwich. Â Our 8 year old had the 'best cheeseburger he's ever had' and our 7 year old was fine with plain noodles.
Parking can be tricky.
Above average bar food and atmosphere for a neighborhood place. Â I stopped in for lunch and had a buffalo chicken sandwich while overhearing a loud conversation on the area Little League.
The full menu is large and ambitious. Â I'd be interested in seeing how they execute it, but I'm usually out of the 'burbs by dinner.
Looks like a great spot to watch a game, they had some solid happy hour food/drink specials.
I could NOT find this parking lot for the life of me when I went here for lunch/brunch with a friend of mine. I got the cajun chicken sandwich and she got a burger. She loved her burger, and my sandiwch was a tad too spicy for me. We both got bloody marys and they were TERRIBLE. The place was not buzzing by any means, and yet the waiters were acting like they were insanely overwhelmed. Tables weren't being cleared, orders weren't being taken, and drinks were extremely slow (if they remembered). Â I'd go here again for a casual beer and a burger, but I don't expect much from them.
Overall, this place is just OK. Huge menu. Waitstaff not on their game. Atmosphere nice. Prices fine.
Vintage is my favorite restaurant in Abington. Â Run by two brothers, Sean (front man) and Pat (chef) Vintage has the feel of a good family restaurant with a bar. Â Families frequent Vintage, as do twenty somethings and geezers like me.
My favorite dish is the chicken Parmesan. Â I know, this is a dish made by about 18 million restaurants nationwide, but Pat does a great job on it and give you enough food for 3 meals. Â There are many good dishes on the menu, but I think he tries to do too much. Â Not that the quality suffers, rather I think he probably suffers (over-worked).
The prices are very reasonable.
Very good selection of daily home-made soups by the Brew-Master himself. Â I generally go on Weds Evenings since they offer live music (acoustic duo). Â They have a great selection of beer on tap & bottle. Â They are also building an outdoor seating area with flatscreen tv's available as well. Â I'm thinking this area may offer smoking?
Review Source:This is a great local bar to come to when you are in the mood to get some apps, watch a game, hang out with your friends and have a couple beers. Â I will admit that I prefer Drake's Tavern over Vintage, however, it is only because that is where my friends usually are.
It is very easy to pass by while driving in Old York since there is not really a main driveway to enter in and the sign is not that large. Â Once you make your way inside, it has a darker feel, which is nice when you are going to a bar. Â Appetizer are quite good and the salads/sandwiches are as well. Â Definitely not a place to go to get a good meal, would recommend it more for snacks and lunch. Â
Being as there are not too many bars in the area, especially when compared to other surrounding areas of Philadelphia, I can say that I like Vintage! Â Good beer selection, good bar and atmosphere. Â I would love to get snowed in here!
Went here one night just as a spot to grab some drinks - and one person needed to eat dinner. Seems like there weren't a ton of different options in terms of bars, so I was a bit skeptical at first of how this place would be. But it turned out OK.
We sat in the back room, which was nice since it was separate from the bar area. That made it much easier to have a conversation. The food menu looked pretty large for what I would expect at a bar/grill. I didn't eat dinner, but I got dessert. The turtle cheesecake was great - looked way better than the caramel apple pie. Beer selection wasn't impressive, but I was expecting just the basic Coors, MGD, Bud Lite. But they had more on tap than those - I ended up choosing Hoegaarden.
Service: Our waiter was great. Kept checking on us at timely intervals, making sure we had enough drinks.
Environment: The bar area felt like any bar. The back room felt like a tavern. Overall, it feels like a neighborhood bar.
I was visiting in the area with family and found this place with my phone. Â It's surprisingly good. Â It doesn't look like much from the outside, and the parking lot is pretty well hidden, but it's definitely worth trying. Â We all really enjoyed our food and the service was quick and friendly.
Review Source:The Vintage is a nice tavern spot on 611, in an area pretty devoid of good tavern spots. It would be popular just for that reason, but thankfully it's actually a pretty great joint.
On the restaurant side, the food is pretty outstanding. It's a lot of standard tavern fare, but you get some creative items on the menu as well. It's actually a pretty extensive menu, but a lot of it is just creative takes on common things (they have about a thousand different sandwiches, for example). My personal favorite is the buffalo chicken sandwich, which is a common tavern item, but here at Vintage they make it amazing. The buffalo sauce is just right, the chicken is tender and well cooked, and it all comes together perfectly. Easily the best buffalo chicken sandwich I've ever had.
While I haven't had that many things on the menu, I've come here often and brought enough people, and I can say with confidence nobody has ever been disappointed in their food. Is this five-star restaurant fare? Well no, but it's the best you'll find at a tavern for this price. The only drawback is the service can be spotty when it comes to the restaurant.
Come dark, Vintage is significantly more of a bar scene. Being close to Abington hospital, you get a lot of hospital staff coming off shift. The bartenders are all fantastic, make great drinks, and are fast and responsive. The owners are great guys, always sitting at the bar chatting and having drinks. If you go to Vintage a couple times, you're almost guaranteed to see them... but you probably wouldn't even know they own the place. Despite it's popularity, it's still a pretty small and tight-knit scene and if you go enough, soon everyone will know your name, Cheers-style.
Definately give it a shot... especially since it's one of the only viable options for a sports bar and tavern in Abington.
Great option in the burbs. Better than anyplace else on 611 in regards to both food and service. The filet mignon sandwich is the best. The Black and Blue Burger is a nice take on the American classic. Â The grilled spicy wings are a revelation however: meaty, nice heat and none off the vinegar bitterness of your run-of-the-mill sports bar variety. Â Solid beer selection that is constantly updated.
Review Source:This place is a good night out with friends, the drinks are great though the bartender last time made mine so strong i could barely walk.
The food is even better a great place to get a booth order a bunch of appetizers as we usually do and drink it up.
The sweet potatoe fries are the best.
I personally always look forward to the cajen fries with the cheese dipping sauce.
Their seafood bisque is the most delicious soup I've ever tasted! Â I've also had their dish called "Grilled Shrimp Dinner" -- it consists of risotto, topped with sauteed spinach, and then kind of a bruschetta mixture of tomatoes and cilantro, onions, etc. And then 5 HUGE shrimp grilled to perfection.
Prices reasonable. Good drink specials. Friendly wait staff.
Great stuff-- I like many others have driven past many a times and wondered whatt was inside. Well with the help of Yelp we made the trip last night.
Food was really good, I had a burger and my wife had a pulled pork sandwich and we split the cajun fries. There was way more food than we could handle.
Service was decent but nothing memorable.
I will def be back!! Alot
I may be a city kid myself but I've got friends in Abington and I've felt more that a few hunger pangs whilst out and about in suburbia.
That being said this place is an great spot for grub and drinks. Fair beer selection. It is most definitively an awesome alternative to all the awful chain restauranties out hurr.
Awesome!
As this is one of my first reviews, let me precede this by saying that I will be withholding 5 Stars for restaurants etc that are so phenomenal that they are beyond words.
That being said, The burger I had here was close. Â Wow, I've been looking high and low for place with great burgers and it was practically in my back yard.
I got their "Original" burger which I think is a 10oz piece of good meat - cooked just how I like (between rare & medium rare) with mushrooms and fried onions. Â Delicious.
Very reasonable prices as well - You might be able to get a similar burger in NY for $20, this one is under 8.
I've driven by this place about a zillion times on 611 and really had no idea anyone ever went there because the parking and 'front' door are in the back. I was finally convinced to stop in by a neighbor and its really great.
Vintage is a perfect alternative to any of the crappy chain restaurants that have gobbled up the business from the independent places. After having a meal at Vintage you would never, never, ever bother trying your luck at the Chilli's, Outback or Olive Garden in that area again.
Food is great. Atmosphere is very tavern like and has a lot of wood. Music is better than any alternative (I was there during dinner hours).
Kid friendly during dinner but it changes over to more of a bar scene so probably not the best late dinner place with the kids.
Great staff too! and the fillet mignon for $20 is a kick-ass deal!
