I have heard  that the VBC may be closing....am wondering if it is true as I really like the restaurant and have had such good meals there.  Can anyone confirm this?

I cannot confirm this either, but have heard the rumors and suspect it is true.

I have only been there once and had a horrible meal.  I've talked with other people who had the same experience.  I haven't returned since.  And considering the lack of vehicles in the parking lot whenever I drive by...

We've always had good food, after the new owners took over.  I hope they are not closing.

We went there the first week it opened & the food was wonderful. A few months later we went back & the food was not very good. We would never go back there.

I have eaten there many times and can say I have had a great meal each time.

You can put me in the fan category. I, too, hope they don't close.

I'm very sorry to hear this, but hope another establishment can fill the need for a reasonably priced family restaurant in town.

Wow, this is sad :(  But I'm glad 158 Main will remain open and wish Jack and crew all the best!

Mary Kay & I went there to eat this past Sunday - We are only 8 miles from Jeffersonville & 158 Main, so still do not have a long ways to go.  Still sorry to see them go, but it was a tough year to open a new business and I for one to not actually go out to a restaurant to eat very often.

WAS it the fod?  or the service?  In the beginning, they had soem real choice young people working there- who thought they were entitled to at least a %15 tip nomatter how good their person skills were.  how hard is it to ake an order, read specials, and bring food with a smile and good attitude?  If you DON't want to work there - DON'T.
   To be fair, in the second half of their ownership they had better staff - we always requested this one server who had worked in the old Country Pantry - best server there! 


FXDHS and Trevor,

it will be sad to see Switchback on tap in Fairfax go..... :(

I'm so disapointed!  I really enjoyed going there on Sunday morning for breakfast.  We didn't go much for lunch or dinner but have never had a breakfast that I didn't like.  Does anyone know why??

Yes, I'll be sad to see Switchback leave Fairfax- but my wife never let me have it with my breakfast anyway :(
