“This place has not changed since the first time I started to go here over 30 years ago. I am the University of Iowa class of 1997, and nothing has changed in here except for more TVs 🙂 I had some great chicken wings and some bottled beers. It’s nice to see establishments still thriving after all these years.”

“If you have never had the wings from this place you are missing out! The mapel hot wings are a favorite with everyone I know. They really aren't hot, more like a warm on the spicy scale. Do yourself a favor and get some maple hot wings from the Vine!”

"Visiting from out of town. Everyone told me the wings were award winning. They were NOT WRONG. Perfectly cooked, tender, a bit of crispy, the sauce was incredible. They actually turned the fryers back on just for us, as we were in a little after kitchen close. Service doesn't get much better than that! (p.s. certain days a stein of beer is only $5-7 bucks)"

"It is great to see the Vine is still in business. Last time I was here was last Millennium. Tuesday night Wing Special still worth hitting up."
