Reviews For Vernon Bar & Grill

The food was amazing and very attentive to drinks, food and entertainment. With kids aged 6- 12 they were magnificent to attending all needs and requests. It may be a bar and grill, but small family owned. I would refer to this anyone who wants food decently priced and kid friendly.

Went in a little before noon on a Saturday for some late breakfast. No interrogations about bringing my family (including two small children) with me; order was taken quickly, we were checked on several times and felt respected by the staff as well as the other customers in what some people may view as an unconventional dining choice for small children. Food was absolutely amazing. Very fairly priced, almost too hot to eat upon arrival and a giant thumbs up on the pancakes from a 3 year old - can't do much better than that.

I loved my time here at Vernon bar and grill tonight. We have loved down the street from this place for almost a year now and have never gotten to coming in and man so I regret that but I’m so happy I have now. The food was amazing. You NEED to get a patty melt. And the people working? All super nice and didn’t make it an intimidating bar scene like a lot of bartenders do. There’s pool, darts, a touch tunes, and a few other games. If you’re down for a laid back comfortable environment with awesome American eats you will love this place. I know it’s mine and my fiance’s new favorite and we will definitely be back!

Stopped by to order take out! We were quickly waited on at the bar area, enjoyed a friendly chat with perhaps the owner, food came in a reasonable amount of time & it was still warm & tasty when we got home! There was a generous helping of food, too- we had leftovers for a snack at a later time!
