   I’ve dined here a few times, it’s been good, and not the best…and sadly tonight was not the best. For the experience, it’s fun, but the food tonight was mostly a waste of time and money. Our server was great though!

   This was our second time here and it was disappointing compared to the first. I'm not sure if it's because they have a different chef or just the different menu, but the food was not worth the cost at all and the portions were definitely smaller than before. The server was good, not great, but I could see she was stressed, the poor thing looked overworked. I had talked this place up and then felt the need to apologize to my family about the experience. Sadly, we will not be returning.

   Food was amazing, ambiance was really nice, except that some people I felt were underdressed, including the service staff, which takes away from the experience for me. Table service was a little slow, had to ask to have more drinks but food came out really fast. Loved the bartenders! Will definitely be back.

   The Kobe hanger steak was excellent, the unique cocktails they have pair well with the meals as well! Great atmosphere and service!

   Our waitress was great. But it took an hour and a half to get our food. If it were any other restaurant I would never come back but Vander keep is such a wonderful place. I was really disappointed.

   We enjoyed eating there for the experience of it but it was super slow and more expensive than we felt the food was worth—though beautifully displayed. The Canadian appetizer was delicious! Would go there for that! The French onion soup was also delicious and our son really enjoyed his venison. It’s definitely a fun experience everyone should try.

   It was very busy. We had gotten a table right away. The server was prompt with greeting us, taking our order, and getting our drinks. However, it took 25 to 30 minutes for us to get our appetizer and once we got it, it tasted like it was sitting out for the past 10 minutes under a heat lamp. But we ate it since we were starving. Then we waited another 50 minutes to get our entrees. During that time, our server had barely came around to check on us and refill our drinks. Once we got our entrees, the majority of the food was bareIy warm and tasted quite odd. I am absolutely disappointed with our experience and do not plan on visiting Vander's Keep again.

   We were there for an anniversary dinner and our food took over an hour and 45 min to get, and then only two of the 4 adults got their food at once. Someone had to leave early needing to box up the food and not even eat. SO disappointing!! Service and atmosphere awesome, and the food was good also, but the length of time was quite ridiculous! Kind of sad spending hat much time and money for an upsetting experience

    Kitchen got backed up on a Friday night and our food took 1.5 hours. Way too long. All the tables weren’t even full. Probably due to labor shortage, but still, it just took too long.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly staff but the food is a little over priced for the portion sizes, some of the food was over spiced. If it didn't cost so much it would be really nice.

    Server was very nice. Location was very cool looking. But the Hanger steak and venison was not good. Venison was SO gamey…. Just not a good food experience.

    The food was excellent but the portions were very small. Prices were very high. Service was excellent. I'm glad we went, for the experience, but I doubt we'll go again. Usually portions are too large in restaurants but the portions here, especially the meat, were exceedingly small, especially for the inflated prices. I would recommend trying it once, but only if you earn a great salary!

    We went for the Sunday Brunch, and while the food was great, it was waaaay over priced for the value (just Double what you’d pay elsewhere). The atmosphere was very disappointing too, and we left generally feeling let down. Perhaps the managers are over-working the staff, because no one seemed happy with their job at all and one lady was serving the entire place. Don’t get me wrong, I’d be willing to buy an over-priced breakfast if there was an experience that went with it, but there was nothing really special about the experience at all. The food was normal breakfast food, the people were dressed normal, there wasn’t any tavern music… We might as well have gone to Dennys. 🤷‍♀️It’s sad because there is so much potential here. I love Ren themed anything, but they are just not in the spirit of it at all 😕I probably won’t be going back.

    We had a reservation at 7 showed up a little early and waited to be seated at 1 of the many empty tables. After finally getting our order taken we waited 45 minutes to an hour to get our food. The hangar steak had no flavor without some of the sauce on it and there was not much sauce on the plate the vegetables were not cooked and the Huntsman pie was good but very small. They're non alcoholic drink selection is also limited to soda, coffee, water and expensive specialty drinks from the bar. We left feeling hungry and overcharged for the amount of food we received. We stopped on the way home to get food. We would not recommend this restaurant.

    We really wanted to like this place, and I feel bad for places being understaffed. But, our experience was just all around poor. For the price of the meals the food was sub-par. The one saving grace was the drinks were delicious. IF we were to try again I would probably just stick to drinks and apps. Nothing else was worth it.

    Food came out cold. Orders were mixed up and some sent back. High priced for what you got. Didn't serve any bread product you would expect in this type of meal. Soup was served and then main course came before we had a chance to enjoy the soup. The soup was the highlight of the meal. I do not plan to ever return.

    Amazing atmosphere, with live music and a themed dining/bar area. Food is good portioned and tastes great! They have really fun cocktails and mocktails! It is perfect for a special occasion, date night, or just a fun night out!

    It was our first time and for the overall experience it was fine. We would not go again. For the price to quality of food to the service it was not worth it. I am glad we went to go and say we went. The whole set up of decor was amazing.

    Our only complaint is that we ordered our full meal at the beginning and our salads arrived at the same time as our dinner. I highly recommend the bangers and mash, absolutely fantastic. The huntsman pie was equally as good. Service was fantastic. We will definitely drive the hour again to go.

    Food was decent but slow to get out. When it did come out, it was not hot and seemed to have been sitting for quite a while. I know they were short staffed but it was not super full and it took about two hours from being seated to receiving our check. We may try it again during a busier season - hopefully it will be better staffed.

    Reservation time not honored, waited over 30 minutes past reservation time. Once seated food took over 45 minutes to be served. No courtesy update from server to explain delay. Restaurant was half empty so absolutely no reason for the long wait. We ordered 3 sandwiches (2 burgers, 1 kobe beef melt) and Vander Chops. Food was mediocre at best and way overpriced for the quality of food seved. I understand that this is "theme park pricing" but I must say I've had better food at a Six Flags or Disneyland. Only good thing is the ambience of the restaurant. We contemplated leaving after 30 minutes of waiting. The live band was nice and made this miserable experience a little more tolerable. Absolutely will not return and will not recommend to anyone.

    Had a reservation which took 30 minutes to get seated. After ordering our food it took an hour and a half to get our food. Food and drinks are over-priced, but the experience is good. Our waiter was lazy, walked around with nothing to do, chatted up his manager and friends, or only carried one drink at a time. Meanwhile the place is booked and all of the other waiters are buzzing around during busy hour doing his work for him, and leaving other tables like ours unattended. When he would come over, we would ask for refills, plates, or silverware. But all of our requests would be forgotten while he lazed about the place. Great place, terrible service.

    Fish and chips was subpar, I’ve had much better at other restaurants and in England. We had a reservation and waited 10 minutes to be seated, 15 minutes for initial waitress interaction and another 10 minutes to get drinks. After food was ordered we waited another 20-25 minutes to get our food. Butter beer is always amazing and so is the ambiance. Just not worth the price of the food and especially not the wait time nor service. It has been like this the last 3 times I have been here with friends and family. Very disappointing.

    We ordered lamb as one meal and fish & chips for the other. While the lamb dish was reasonably tasty the cost was extreme. Lamb bits with carbohydrates overload was strange. The fish was without taste. One side of max & cheese saved our meal. Very strange offering.
