This restaurant used to be one of our favorite places . This was our first visit since Covid, what a disappointment!I ordered the Short rib and my husband ordered the pork chop. After a long wait and the restaurant was was far from busy my short rib came out cold, the sauce was quite sweet. The pork chop was bland! We also had the calamari and shrimp basket. The calamari was like rubber, the hush puppies were raw on the inside! The basket was 80% fried vegetables!!!This place has changed for the worst, we would have been better off going out for burgers

Perfection in all levels! My husband and I celebrated a job success on Friday night. We were able to get a last minute reservation. Everything was on point from the service, appetizers, cocktails and main meals. I highly recommend this adorable southern charm restaurant.

Had a delicious dinner! I had the veggie pasta and loved it. My partner had the Dr. Pepper BBQ, and it was amazing. Oscar was our waiter, and he was absolutely spectacular!!! He had great recommendations and was very kind. Will definitely be coming back.

Adorable location for brunch- the whole place has a by-gone era ambiance.Looks like they were a little short staffed, so service was a bit slow. Typical brunch fare. Worth a try.

As expected, the venue is warm and charming, and the service is excellent. Our brunch however, was uniformly disappointing. The mimosas and bloody marys seemed to be devoid of alcohol, the crab cakes were tasteless, and the basket of breakfast breads could have come straight from a supermarket. Only the bacon was kind of OK, but we could have done that at home and saved the gas money.

We love this restaurant! Wish it was closer to our hone. We had our first date here 26 years ago. The dinning experience is still as wonderful as ever! My husband and I think it is not possible to find a better crab cake anywhere (and we tried!!!). We celebrated his birthday there this weekend and the food was great.

Overall good experience. Really cool historic renovated old house...great upscale southern feel to menu, music and ambiance. Also super cool gluten free options which I greatly appreciate!! Enjoyed the fried gluten free shrimp, calamari and veggie basket.
It's so refreshing to dine here - always a great experience and atmosphere without the fuss of going to an overcrowded place. I hesitate to say this because it may not stay that way.

Old Vinings Inn is one of our go-to for brunch or weeknight dinner spots. Both the food and service are very good. The restaurant is in an converted house so parking can be challenging on busy mornings and evenings.Parking: The parking lot is adjacent to restaurant, but spaces can be limited on weekend mornings and evenings. Paces Mill Road is two lanes here so be prepared for congestion during rush hour or if there is a train.

We love this restaurant! Food is spectacular and the staff is like family. And a special callout to Silas! He is one of the best in the business and makes what is already an enjoyable experience an outstanding experience!!
Celebrated my husband's birthday and his best friend's birthday- the perfect place to celebrate with friends and family. The service and food is what keeps me coming back! The Crab Cakes are a must!

First time back here in a decade. Will be a regular again now that I live walking distance . Had brunch with my Father, Mother and my 5 year old Daughter. Perfection. KT was our server and was exceptional . I had the Fried Chicken with Collards & Grits. 13/10. Perfect. Also on the table was Crab Cake Benny and Breakfast Platter . Both 9/10. Seasonal Cobbler was INSANE !! 12/10. Cool little Beverage Program. Great ambiance. If in the area , you should make this a top consideration..Kid-friendliness: They are amazing with kids

As usual, we had a very enjoyable lunch with long-time friends. We were seated quickly; our server came immediately and introduced himself; was very friendly, helped our friends with items on the menu; service was efficient, and the food was excellent...just as everyone had ordered...even though we had some special requests. The Old Vinings Inn is one of trusty favorites!
