V&V Scratch Kitchen — Restaurant in Union Township

Food great. Format not great. 5pm reservation. Arrived at 4:55. Door locked. Wouldn’t let us in. Gentleman opened the door said - sorry not ready give us to 5pm. Had to stand in the 10 degree cold weather. Line of 20ppl standing in cold on the curb til they unlocked door at 5:00pm Sharp. Yikes. Mind you this is for a $75pp dinner. You Couldn’t let us in, seat us and bring a glass of water to wait? Really had to Wait outside? Kinda ridiculous given this price. Since everyone was let in at once like cattle, we had to wait a second time in line to see hostess for seating. Get to our table, find a piece of paper with menu options, kinda-a-waitress-kinda-not says hello I’ll take care of you, when you know what you want go to the register to order it. (What was the “waitress” for?) So now we get in line again.....for the 3rd time since we arrived....and wait to order. So you order and pay and are asked to give a tip? I just waited in three lines, haven’t eaten, havent had a drink, haven’t had the service yet, and I have to leave a tip first? Wow. Yikes. Makes zero sense. Arrived, made to wait in 3 lines with my date, $180 chunked down ahead of time and now we sit and wait for food. Food great. Tiramisu was the only one lacking. It was a soup. Basically a bowl of liquor with minimal cake on top. You Could drink the tiramisu it was soo liquid. Couldn’t eat it. Guys your food is great but your format needs improvement at this price point. You had 800 people working. More than enough. Put another register terminal in the back. no reason the waitress couldn’t take our order and key it in. Why make your guests get up and wait in line like subway at this price point? Your relatively new. It’s a learning experience. I’m sure you’ll make improvements. Food is great. Too bad your in dumpy finleyville. Close that location. Move to south hills and you could charge more for your food and people would love it and that demographic would complain less about your pricing. Your prices are fair for what you get. Honestly you can get more than you charge for your food but given your market, your at the ceiling for sure. your location and format are holding you back from making huge money. Make it a traditional, full service white table cloth restaurant and move to south hills. You already have the talent and menu for it. Charge more, make...

V and V's is a culinary oasis in Finleyville, PA, offering an unparalleled dining experience that transcends the ordinary. Its more than just a restaurant; it's a sanctuary of flavor and warmth. Dare I say the best place to eat in the South hills!

With a steadfast commitment to fresh, chemical-free ingredients, their homemade comfort food, like the delectable pulled pork tacos and the freshest fish sandwiches, offers a gastronomic delight that caters to even the most sensitive stomachs. My family and I, despite our diverse and picky tastes, are weekly patrons, relishing in the joy of meals that feel both safe and indulgently satisfying. As someone with a sensitive stomach, I've struggled to find eateries that cater to my needs until V and V's came along. Their commitment to using fresh, chemical-free ingredients means I can enjoy a meal without worry.

But V and V's charm extends beyond its menu. The atmosphere radiates a homey, welcoming vibe, where each staff member treats you like family. The spinach and artichoke dip, served with heavenly bread pieces, has us skipping the chips and asking for more! And the cookies? Soft, delicious, and just like homemade. This place is a testament to the beauty of community-centric dining, where every dish is prepared with love and every visit feels like a celebration.

To the incredible team at V and V's, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your passion for food and community has not only won over our taste buds but has also created a dining haven that feels like home.

Exceptional dinner catering and in-house pasteries / cake. We were blown away by the quality and quantity of a dinner V&V Scratch Kitchen catered in our home for 12 guests on December 22. Chef Martin and his catering head/pastry chef Julia created the perfect menu for us from a brief phone conversation. We had a four course meal of wedding soup (best I’ve ever had), pecan cranberry brie spinach salad, wild mushroom ravioli, and incredibly tender roasted chicken with a side of roasted brussels sprouts, followed by a decadent birthday cake made beautifully in-house by Julia (almond cake batter with strawberry filling and a cream cheese icing with Oreo crumbs for my son’s 3rd birthday). Delivery was on time and included set up with chafing dishes. All food was custom made from scratch and you could really tell. I’ll never cook for a dinner party again because the food was just that good. And by the time I would have paid for groceries, developed my own menu, and cooked for 2 days, I would have certainly spent more time and money. I’m considering have 6-8 people over for two occasions in 2019 and will most certainly use V&V for those events again. I love that they locally source most ingredients and prioritize sustainable fish and meats without antibiotics and hormones. If you want to serve your guests a top notch dinner that tastes more homemade than catered, I highly recommend V&V Scratch Kitchen. A HUGE thank you to Chef Martin, Julia, and the entire staff at V&V for making the dinner party for our son’s birthday better than we could...
