Had been so excited to try the new Vig location, laderra *sp? (same owner I believe) was amazing and loved it, and the other Vig locations are great! The Vig is a great addition to our neighborhood. We were so excited, we wanted our first time going to be special so made a reservation for Easter with the family. Initially we were seated by the fireplace. Our party of seven with a toddler, the spot was super inconvenient but beautiful. Luckily the hostesses are amazing and found us a table quickly. We were very happy about that. Thank you! We started with the cinnamon rolls and onion rings. Weird combo, but both are so good! Everyone loved them, even the kids who normally can’t stand onion rings. We got the banana Nutella French toast which the kids loved. Some chilaquiles, which the fam orders regularly at other locations, and here they were not disappointed. Everyone enjoyed their chilaquiles. An order of the hash, which looked tasty! And two orders of the steak and eggs. The drinks were awesome!! The grapefruit brunch cocktail we got was so tasty. I was driving so only tasted it, but I definitely wished I wasn’t driving haha Don’t miss the cinnamon rolls! I would recommend.

Just happened to be driving by this location and we were hungry so we thought we'd try it. We've eaten at 2 of the other Vig locations and always enjoyed it. It's kind of hidden on N. Central Ave so look for the sign. Like the other Vig's the food was very good. The service could have been better. Had to flag down the wait staff to get drink refills, pepper, and ranch. Also, wish that my rigatoni entree would have come with a side salad or piece of bread but it didn't and I had to order the salad separately. My wife had the honey chicken sandwich and it was good. We ate in the outside patio area and even though it was a cool night, it was warm enough on the patio with the heaters and large fireplace going. The fireplace and all the trees and lighting create a great dining atmosphere. Overall, a good experience and I would definitely eat there again if I'm in that area.

I love the VIG is an awesome restaurant. The service is always kind and friendly and we actually had a great server who helped us out the menu. I have been to the VIG on Fillmore in Central Phoenix and that was a great one with outside seating this one is just the same great atmosphere great restaurant and great menu and great service. They have a great selection on the menu to choose from and they have some good happy hour items as well. At this one ended up getting the street tacos which we delicious and we also got a salad they both were perfectly made. I gave this place five stars for everything places like this are rare so this is one to appreciate I've been to two so far and they have one more in park west that's the next one I'm gonna go check out. So enjoy.

The atmosphere here is definitely a vibe. The patio was so nice for dining. Our server was phenomenal and all of the food was delicious. I had never been to this location but I'm glad we decided on it for dinner. Also, the Coal Miner's Daughter lyrics were a fun find!

Worth it every time. I’ve been a Vig fan for years and have been coming to The Vig in N. Central since it opened. You can count on neighborhood-style service, high-quality ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere. Elsie (GM) is a true servant leader and community supporter. Did I mention the huge dog-friendly, shaded patio?

Great variety on the menu everyone can be happy here. We came for happy hour and loved the pork tacos. The Vig has a rotating community cocktail where proceeds go to a local organization . I enjoyed the Pumpkin & Spice Elixir that benefits Arizona Small Dog Rescue!

I mean the steak was good and the food and the pork belly sliders were good I'm not sure if it was like 75 for the meal good though you know what I mean. But the environment is real nice and the pictures and the TV and the patio and the ambiance so that's kind of what you're paying for also is the vibe.

Our server Renee was fabulous. Place is very busy with live music Saturday night. Had the House Mule tequila and pineapple and the veggie tacos. The atmosphere was great sat outdoors with the NBA game on and had some good food.
