Vandy's Grille - Waconia

Made reservations for Mother's Day, never mentioned it was buffet only. Which was still ok, if the food was actually good, which it wasn't.Flavorless food, cheesy hasbrowns still raw, fruit was bitter. The only reason I'm giving a rating of one star is because at least the ham was decent.It was obvious they were short staffed, the waitress was nice that's the two stars. The hostess was nowhere to be found for some time. No sign that tells you to seat yourself or to wait. It was not packed, yet they couldn't keep up with getting food into the bins.Tables/chairs are too close together. Other than the place was clean the view through the windows was nice. Our party of 6 will NOT be going back.It was $37 per person for that buffet. And for how awful the food was, that literally was a waste of money, time, energy, appetites. We can overlook everything else, except that. What an awful food experience.

Disappointing. 3 burned or dry hamburgers. And 2 dry chicken dishes. Server never checked in about the meals. Didn't bring enough silverware and needed to ask twice for ketchup which wad missing from 3 meals. Not likely to return nor recommend .

I’ve been to Vandy’s several times over the years and food wise it’s always been bad. On this recent visit I ordered biscuit and gravy. The biscuits were the size of half dollars and about 1” thick but cut in half. The gravy was “ok”. Now I’m from the south, I’ve had biscuits and gravy all my life. These were the worst biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had in my entire life.On a positive note, the service was great!

Had a reservation for a party of 9. Unfortunately after 20 minutes of being seated we were not greeted by a server or bartender. A table of 3 sat down and were assisted within minutes. After many of years in the restaurant and bar industry I understand.. but unfortunately this was a very disappointing experience and had to leave.

The menu isn’t good anymore as they have removed mostly all of their burgers from the menu. The shrimp bites don’t make sense with a piece of shrimp on a piece of boiled potato that was described as grilled. I used to love the cheese curd burger and the 911 but they are not on the menu anymore and just have a stout burger with gravy and just a plain one. Also miss the ribs. The only thing that was enjoyable was the live music and sitting by the fireplace. It’s disappointing.
