Reviews for Vivify Burger & Lounge in Fredericksburg, VA
Second visit in the past month with comparable experiences that lead to this review: arrived on the rooftop and waited for 20+... minutes before we went to ask if someone would please serve us. A server arrived with no menus, and then we asked for them, soshe had to go find some. We immediately ordered drinks and our meal. Server went to another table and sat down with herfriends. We waited. And waited. And waited. She then came over with drinks and apologized for the wait. [There were 4 peopleworking on the rooftop that was not completely full.] The food was delivered from other wait staff and they brought out andorder not for our table. They then took the meal around the entire rooftop asking who it belonged to. (I definitely would notwant that meal after having been put in front of dozens of patrons' faces.) Our server arrived back on the rooftop with anotherguest who apparently the meal belonged to! Hooray! Food: small portion size of burgers and the sides. Neither are worth thecost. We finished our meal and didn't bother asking for refills. Server brought the check and it included drinks that we didnot order. They belonged to the neighboring table, which made sense because the table beside us got tired of waiting as well andjust walked off, so their items were put on our bill. We were also charged for sauces and were never told there was anadditional charge. We had the drinks removed. This was not an isolated incident and is not connected to staff shortage, buterrors in management, training, and expectations. NOT worth your visit. Go to next door Castigilia's for the rooftopexperience. Read more
I have just eaten one of the best, if not the best, veggie burger I've had in my life. The Woodstock was awesome! Goats cheese,... advacado and tomato jam put this quinoa- couscous- bean veggie mushroom burger over the top. Service was good and theatmosphere relaxed. Well worth a visit. Read more
Vivify Burger & Lounge First time there and it's a very nice and fun environment, colorful beautiful pictures and light... fixtures, outdoor seating, even has Roof top Deck, I ordered the Farmhouse burger which had Yellow Cheddar, fried farm freshEgg, Pork belly, & house Ranch dressing, the burger was cooked Pink, (medium Well), the burger was absolutely Delicious, juicy, Hot, & Flavorful. I give this restaurant a high rating not because of the burger, but because the service was A1 I willrecommend to family and friends and will be be back again.. Read more
This place is amazing, I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. Their food is amazing and they have a pretty good variety... of foods and drinks to choose from. It looks fun on the inside, and you can also eat on the roof. The staff is also superfriendly! Read more
Fun local burger spot. We enjoy the rooftop dining area when it's not too hot. The menu is kid friendly with plenty of options... other than burgers. They use high quality fresh ingredients and you can really taste it. Read more
Date night !! tried Vivify for the first time , and it has ups and downs . They were not consistent with the food at all. We... went there twice today, and the food was okay in the morning . Their burgers , lacked a smidge of salt and pepper , but the eggthat they added in my burger was solid!!. The runny yolk was so good with every bite. The Parmesan fries, with a garlic Mayosauce?, superb!. The pork belly on one of the burgers ( farmhouse burger ),could have been a little bit more toasted, so therewould a crispy edge. But since pork belly is usually fatty, it wasn't rendered enough, hence , a very fatty piece. We also triedthe restaurant week menu, which was a chicken burger with a ponzu sauce. Bomb!! Our service in the morning was great. Our waiterwas always making sure that we have our drinks. He also made sure that we have everything that we need. He was a trip!! When wecame back for dinner ( same day ). I had the poutin fries , and the gravy was just to die for !! Wait wait, I'm not over it.Gravy has that rich meaty taste!, and just a *kiss chefs moment. The American burger tho was meh. The beef patty was overpeppered , that made it taste spicy. The homemade pickles gave it that crunch factor in the dish. Our waitress tried hard. Therewere too many people for 2 servers. I usually drink at least 4 cups of soda, but I only get to drink twice , sucks too that Ihad to ask. I know it's not a lot to do, but those extra little things that servers would do for you , makes you feel important, and special. It was good overall. I would recommend going for the fries! Read more
When I found out this place is owned by a fellow Marine, I knew I'd enjoy it. We sat on the roof top and enjoyed the nice... weather. The customer was amazing along with the food. The peppers with goat cheese was different but great. The hand cutfries with their handmade sauce was good. The burgers were good great as well. I will be back often. Semper Fi Read more
