Burgers had no flavor. Fries were limp and greasy. pickles had a rind so hard you couldn't eat them. What happened??? You were so good before. Disappointed. Waitress was nice..so there's that.DO NOT RECOMMEND.
We came into Wheeling for the Symphony and this place was in 5 minutes walking distance, and I’m so glad we came! The service was great, and we loved the meatloaf platter- the bacon gravy was to die for! Also get the apple crumble for dessert- so good! Great Appalachian comfort food, and the waitresses were so kind. Will be back!
Vagabond is the perfect date night spot in Wheeling. The service is always great, the food is always spot on, and the atmosphere is relaxing. I feel like there are plenty options and they’re all fantastic.
