Vintage Brewing Co. Sauk Prairie — Restaurant in Sauk City

Stopped in last night, to see a couple of former Dells Bar Keeps and on their recommendation to stop in Dustin Lauren Thank you for the Awesome service along with your super knowledge of your 8 page beer menu (wowzers was it really 8 pages? excellent detail describing the beers) and your food menu as well, normally as a 1st time customer I would have been a bit overwhelmed by the extensive beer menu, but a quick couple of questions by me and them, 3 1 ounce samples and they had me honed right in and hit it dead on the spot, at first seeing no head on the beer, I was thinking flat? but no not at all, perfect amount of carbonation in each of the beers that I enjoyed, and I didn't feel "beer full" at all thoroughly enjoyed each of the samples of beer along with the taps I ordered the Trepidation, Bee’s Knees, Sauk Ness Monster, Woodshed and the Dedication Abbey 'Extra' Dubbel, each of them excellent beers with great flavor, depth with the perfect body (loved the names made me laugh a couple of times with the tongue in cheek names) so time for Dinner Dustin's knowledge of the food menu also spot on, I ordered the Bangers and Colcannon, again hesitant to order mashed potatoes at a restaurant, as normally barely edible, not the case here at all, the bangers (we call them brats) had a prefect snap to them with great fresh flavor and the colcannon a mix of mashed potatoes (1st time ever at a restaurant Great Fresh mashed potatoes) and cabbage and then a nice gravy all hit the spot perfectly looking at the menu, I will have to get back there at least 4 or 5 more times Lauren had recommended the Orange Sesame Ahi Salad which what I was going to order, then switched to the Bangers, sitting at the bar other patrons were ordering the Nachos which look awesome as did the wraps, the mac and cheese and burgers, were all items I will need to get back for prices were reasonable for the quality of the beers, food and the establishment itself, which is a great atmosphere and a great view of the Wisconsin River for those that want to bird watch while enjoying some great beers food and service

We decided to stop at this Vintage since we were in the area. Usually we go to the West side or Cross plains locations (both are always 5 stars!). Out of the 3 locations we've been to, this one was definitely our least favorite. From the second we walked in, seemed like they had a lot of employees that either didnt care or didnt know what they were doing. The hostess seemed to have an attitude and didnt really know what she was doing, as the table she went to put us at outside, was already taken. Another employee who was standing up there seemed to know someone who walked in after us and completely ignored the fact we were there. There was a few times as well, an employee would bring food out to the wrong tables. Luckily the Waitress we had was decent, checked in often and communicated about timing on our food. Now for the food, my bf got the fish sandwich and I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap. Bf said his fish sandwich was good, he didnt realize the tarter sauce came on the sandwich and not the side like every other topping for it. Very difficult to eat as the fish seems to squeeze out of the bun, but flavor was good. His fries seemed to be the end of a batch, lots of little ones and not many respectable sized ones. His portion also seemed quite a bit smaller than mine, he had maybe 1/2-2/3 my amount. My CBR wrap was good, the chicken portion seemed small compared to other locations, I feel like it was a lot of lettuce. Flavor was delicious as always. My fries were not done, the outside seemed crispy, but the inside was undercooked, not sure if the oil was too hot. Deck setting was nice outside, seats are comfortable and everything is spaced out enough that it doesn't seem loud or crowded. Overall, I don't think we would come to this one again unless we were...

I write this understanding the industry is struggling short staffed and finding good help, so it's just feedback based on our experience. It looks like many have enjoyed their food and drink.

We called in our order because we couldn't get online ordering to work. We were told they weren't doing online ordering because they were too busy. The problem was, we went through our entire order twice online to no avail. When hitting checkout, nothing. This was pretty frustrating. No messages like "not taking online orders" or maybe they could just shut down the entire online ordering so folks don't even see it? This is the second time this has happened with a restaurant, so it could be an issue on the software end?

So, we call. Terrible connection on their end with so much noise. We had to repeat several times. Finally got our order of Fire on the River Burger, but with fried chicken and a side of veggies. Also, a chef's cut Steak Sandwich with fries. On pick-up. The order was ready when we arrived.

The food: Appetizer: Rip Rip Chicken. We recommend this as an appetizer. Very tasty.

Mains: My order was wrong and made with a fake-grilled chicken patty that you get through food service companies. I think if it had been fried it would have been less noticeable. There was plenty of tasty bacon on the sandwich. The side of green beans were okay, but very greasy.

The Steak Sandwich indicated chef's cut, so the assumption was that it would be a piece of steak. Rather is was thinly sliced. Overall flavor was good and the sweet potato fries were good. Return? Maybe. Probably not for the food. Haven't tried the beer but I hear it's...
