A small hole in the wall and it can get a bit busy. But the wings are so worth it!

Always the best wings. Tuesday is wing night at a very good price. They are very friendly. Love the variety of sauces . Not much luck with mixed drinks, but you can't go wrong with a cold beer to cold beer. I got 2 dozen and ordered one more to take home for my husband.

Good service, poor food quality and portion size. My husband (who never complains) said it was the worst patty melt he has ever had.The sweet potato fries were boring, $3.99 upgrade for the side was a complete waste.Not a place we would go back to.

If I recall I got there too late for food but the staff was friendly and the refreshments fine. No on second thought I think I had something just not what I wanted anyways I can't remember. Anyways they were pretty cool. I think I was on the hunt for a burger or pizza. Dang I can't remember. Just beautiful people. Maybe I had a burger or the last of the fries. Shoot I guess I'll have to find my receipt someday. I know every other kitchen in town was closed too so I guess it's just like a Sunday thing. Oh I think I was looking for pizza and only ended up with... gee i can't remember. Anyways five stars for the staffablishment.

Went here all the time 20 years ago when we were in college, and not much has changed really. The food is all right. The wings are still good. Not a huge selection of beer, but they have the staple macro brews and a few craft brews. The atmosphere and clientele are a little shady. If you got a family, take them to the Coralville location. Downtown IC location is definitely for the college kids.

Incredibly disappointed overall. We ordered our food and had to check a menu item for a food allergy, our waitress seemed annoyed that we asked her to confirm we could eat it. After that, we waited at least hour for our food, asked our waitress to check on it around 45 minutes and we watched her go to another table and talk to them for 10-15 minutes. Once we did get out food, it was lukewarm and had clearly been sitting out. The food itself really had no flavor, no seasoning on the fries or the tater tots. Our wings were overcooked and tasted bland. The only time our waitress checked in was after we finished eating and even then, she barely stopped to talk to us. As we were waiting for the check, another party was seated at the table next to ours which had not been cleaned from the previous party and THEY cleaned it while their waitress bussed. Once we paid, it was disappointing to see that lunch was almost $50 for two people and an appetizer, all of which was terrible quality and no better than what we could have purchased from Hy-Vee.I understand game days are busy and it sounded like staff had called out that morning, but that is no excuse for poor service and even worse food. "We won't be back" always falls on deaf ears, who cares, right? But I'll make sure anyone we talk to about food suggestions in IC knows that Vine is absolutely not the place to go.

We had a great time for lunch at my brother's bachelor party and the wait staff was great. The food was actually really good for the price.
