our food was so bad. i chose this place for my birthday dinner. i was surprised that i was so unlucky to get the worst steak they had. then after we left, someone commented to me that they had better steak at applebees, saying their steak was all gristle. i had the exact same thought eating mine (but kept it to myself) so it was weird that someone else said it out loud. it was genuinely the worst steak i ever had. it was like eating an old boot, rubbery and flavorless. the place is decorated beautifully though, and it would have had a great atmosphere if not for the bar. the bar was very busy with very drunk older people. they were shouting, cussing, and slamming things around loudly (not sure what that was about). at one point, a drunk woman wondered over to our table and interrupted our dinner to speak to me about my appearance. she was very kind but clearly very drunk. the service was okay, pretty standard. they were polite. there was a piano player, which i really enjoyed, but so did the drunk people, as the people at the bar were shouting that that’s why they come to drink at vera mae’s. this place used to have a wonderful reputation, and used to be one of the best restaurants in muncie. I’m not sure what changed. it could have just been a bad night. but we are not going back and it’s now the place we joke about going to when we talk about where to go for dinner.

One of our new favorite restaurants. My husband ran across a “Top 5 Romantic Restaurants” ad on social media, and Vera Mae’s was on there. We decided to try it out for Valentine’s Day. The service and food were SPECTACULAR. They time the food out perfectly so you never run out or get overwhelmed with a thousand plates on your table. Everyone is here very attentive and pleasant. Looking forward to our next visit!
