Vector Brewing + Pizza + Coffee — Restaurant in Dallas

Ok, been here a handful of times, hoping the visits would be different, but alas, they've only gotten worse. First of all, make sure you check their social media for whether they are actually open to the public when you plan to visit, because there's a good chance they may be closed for one of their many private events. As they were the first 2 times we tried to visit.

Secondly, they had a great menu item that kept me coming back - the chonkers, which were absolutely phenomenal and made zero sense that they disappointingly took them off the menu.

Thirdly, let's talk service. It's not good. They act like it's a hassle to wait on you, and I do kind-of get why - I've seen countless families (if you aren't a fan of kids running rampant in breweries, don't bother trying this place out at all) stand at the counter, indecisive and taking their time consulting their kids as to what they want, which isn't the brewery's fault ultimately, but I digress.... Even after they take your orders, I've been ignored countless times and had to ask for my beers that I ordered. The staff behind the bar are too busy talking amongst each other most of the time to really care about who ordered what, and then when they finally hand you your beers, they act completely bothered about it.

Lastly, their pizzas could be so good. But they are lackluster. They sound SO DARN GOOD on the menu, but... I've had chain pizzas that taste better, and that's why I'm just done. I hope they wake up at some point, but they truly come off as a brewery that does not care about anyone or anything except hosting their private events. So, good luck with your event...

Simply Pizza and Beer 😋

I went over to @vectorbrewing and recalled a pizza I had but couldn’t remember the name. I remember the sweetness of honey and fireball habanero. “Ooh, you want the Angry Bee 🐝.” The Angry Beer is House-alfredo sauce • fresh spinach • shaved habanero • edible flowers • Vector glitter spicy honey drizzle. Yes!!! Can my bee just be slightly annoyed (my spice level is just so high). She gladly made the substitution. Then she asked me the craziest question, “ Would you like to add bacon?!!” Who in their right mind would say “No?!!” Pork it up why don’t you. I paired with Betty. I’ll keep talking about her lovely disposition as a beer. She’s a rose infused rice lager with raspberries. Shout out to the Best Golden Girl. All of the pizzas are 12 inch so bring a friend or two. If you’re like me leftovers for the next day. This place has an awesome patio area for social distancing. They’ve also blocked off some parking slots to extended outside dining. It’s a bright spot for Lake Highland area as they revamp and bring some new joy to the area. Go check them out. . . . . . Follow, Like, Share...

The service has taken a turn for the worst.

We visited on July 9th around 3pm. Light crowd, almost exclusively inside due to the sweltering weather.

The beer and pizza is still excellent.

The service, however, is not.

Glassy eyed, lethargic, intoxicated, frequent trips into the walk-in to do some sort of intoxicant.

Yawning disinterest in the customers seated at the bar top. We had to actively wave them down to order another beer and food.

We met the owner, a female. She treats the staff like long lost friends, hence the lack of seriousness in the execution of their jobs.

She didn't introduce herself, didn't give us her name, and look genuinely offended by the polite, but firm critical feedback

Vector is a victim of its success. Convinced it cannot fail, regardless of the service.

Sad.

My prediction, given the severe downturn we are headed into economically, is that Vector will be gone in less than 24 months.

Top to bottom, from the owner down to the front of house staff, no one seems to be the least bit worried by the horrid, inattentive,...
