Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Vinny's Clam Bar delights with "fresh, delicious seafood" and a "fun atmosphere." Guests praise the "outstanding service" and generous portions. The lively vibe, enhanced by a DJ playing disco and Motown, adds to the dining experience. While some find it loud, the "friendly staff" and delectable oysters make it a must-visit.

    Great space in the south suburbs of Chicago! Our server was Becky, and not only was she just stunning, she was an absolute gem of a human - knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations based tastes and not the highest thing on the menu. She was also training a new server (Joe, I believe) who was also great. They have a really good happy hour EVERY day and one of the BEST brownie desserts I have had in a LONG time. If you're looking for a great spot and want to avoid the city, I 10 out of 10 recommend you get thee to Vinny's!

    This was an our third time at Vinny’s. Although we didn’t care for our seating location the ambiance, food, and especially service made up for it. Our server, Becky, was knowledgeable and energetic about any question we had on the menu. The overall service at Vinny’s has never disappointed. Kudos to your staff

    This was our first time dining at Vinny’s. I Google-searched for a restaurant close to the venue to have dinner before the Chris Stapleton concert. It could not have been a better experience! The food was unbelievable! Our server, Suzie Q, was the best! All of the staff were welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was very lively and fun, even had a DJ! And shout out to the designer…the decor was fabulous!!! I especially loved the sardine wallpaper in the women’s restroom!!! Will definitely be back next time I am in the area!

    Too loud, too narrow and very cramped for space, food was good not great, tables are right on top of one another. It's a good place to try once but certainly wouldn't return

    We returned to Cinny’s for our 4th visit. Apparently, k forgot that I did not care for the shrimp scampi. I only received 4 shrimp and a humongous dish of pasta. The pasta could have used some seasoning. I added Parmesan cheese to it and it was a little better. My husband had the Chicken Parmesan. It said it tasted “alright”, but what he likes is that he can have leftovers for a couple of days because the portions size is so large. Our waiter was attentive at first, but got overwhelmed when a large party came in that he had to wait on. Next time, I will stick with the fried shrimp and fries.
