If you travel through the area and are looking for a very cool “local” experience, it doesn’t get any better than this. The restaurant is part of a historic, once world renowned sock making factory that makes for some amazing atmosphere. The staff was friendly and the food was prompt and delicious. They encouraged us to look around and we saw some of the old machines that still had thread in them from the day they were turned off. All this and it was only lunch time. I can’t wait to pass back through on a Friday or Saturday night and see a band or just socialize with the locals and sample their dinner menu.

Well, in theory cool place. In reality, not so much. Very nice waitress, however, and I loved the mismatched tables. Food just not. Ate on a Saturday at 11 for lunch. Pretty empty. No fries available for lunch. They are currently having a bathroom problem, you have to go to a adjoining building to use one.

I’m a Texan moving into the area so I am looking for great food and atmosphere. My wife grew up in Birmingham to answer the why here. We were invited to Vintage by our neighbors. We arrived at 5:30 on a Friday and quickly realized we wouldn’t have a seat if our neighbors hadn’t reserved a table. A local band called ‘The Locals’ were playing and the place was filling up quickly. Nearly every person walked in and hugged a few people if not all. We eventually ordered food. The ‘Jesse’ caught my attention. The description sounded like a hamburger made with donuts. I hesitated but my curiosity got the best of me. I ordered the Jesse and my wife ordered the French Dip. Both meals hit the spot and were delicious. The Jesse was surprisingly good. They should label it as sliders as it was 3 small burgers. It is sweeter than I expected, but the beef pulls the flavor closer to a balance. The band got started and they are amazing. Like white girl crazy amazing. They played a wide range of songs. From Nirvana to Hank. As the night was wrapping up, many people were walking around still greeting one another. We were new so several stopped to introduce themselves. My favorite was John Connor, the luckiest man to “s#!t behind sneakers”. I highly recommend Vintage 1889 but plan ahead. Don’t stop in for a quick bite.

We visited this small quaint restaurant while staying at Desoto State Park. The staff were amazing and food was very good. We tried the spinach artichoke dip, the veggie sandwich with gouda soup, and Flatbread. We are vegetarian and the food for us was very delicious. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic lunch menu. I had the Cuban sandwich which was very good. Atmosphere was very good with spacious seating, eclectic decorations, and curio shop next door. Open lunch and dinner with large menu.

Came for lunch today on our way home from a day trip at a hiking trail. Service was okay but the menu doesn’t say what’s in every dish.

On a weekend getaway and we stopped in to try something local, and it was well worth it. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, great service overall. The food was delicious. I got the Brittany club and was a little skeptical about the housemade sauce of cream cheese and Greek yogurt, but it was good. The Brittany club is not a traditional club of turkey, bacon and ham, instead they use chicken, bacon and ham. Everything was sliced and cooked perfectly. My husband got the French dip and it was amazing. Simple, but delicious.

Cute place with good service. The food was all right, but it felt more expensive than it should have been. We got a burger, French dip, poblano soup, and spinach artichoke dip.

Our office was on a retreat in the area and we wanted to go somewhere local to eat. A friend suggested this place and we had so much fun. The food was great, the service was friendly. We went on a Thursday night and they had live music. I wish I could remember his name but he was great! Not only could be sing good but he was SO engaging with the audience. He even came to our table at one point to visit. We had a great night.
