Village Inn

We stopped in for breakfast. We were the only people in the place at 6:30 am. We were seated immediately of course and our waiter was right there to get our beverage. After a few minutes I decided to order the pork carnitas breakfast burrito. It was on the table in no time at all even though the restaurant began to fill up after I arrived. The burrito was very good. It was made with seasoned shredded pork, diced fried potatoes, green peppers, refried beans, fried onions, and scrambled eggs. All this wrapped in a giant flour tortilla. The burrito came with salsa and sour cream. It was very filling and I left the restaurant without having a piece of their famous pie.

Very good service. Food was hot and very tasty. Never a bad experience even when it is busy.

Seated right away, coffee and water, took our order. All within the first couple of minutes.

I mean it’s your typical American dining spot. You’re never going to be wowed and leave with an oh my god that was amazing feeling after eating here. It certainly does fulfill its purpose though with decent breakfast, and mediocre lunch and dinner with some pretty good pie. The pies are pretty tasty, and I frequently eat breakfast here as there’re not many other options. Service is a hit or miss, but that’s to be expected.

The food is good and if it’s wrong they are very good at fixing it! I absolutely adore Kaylee! She always has a smile on her face and takes great pride in making sure your experience is a fabulous one!

Got seated within 3 minutes on a Wednesday night pie night. That’s pretty good especially with all the snowbirds in town. Waitress Joanne greeted my daughter and I with a smile and was very courteous. She checked on us often and was back to ask which free pie we would like with a smile again. I could see she was very busy with other tables but took her time to come back often. The manager stopped by and asked how our food tasted which was nice.
I mostly order breakfast here. My omelette with pancake and hash brown tasted very good and so did the VIB meal my daughter ordered.
I definitely give 5 gold stars for the waitress Joanne tonight!!!

very slow service at 8:30 p.m.waited 10 min for a drink order from what seem was on of the managers… Who smelled like a she had been chain smoking for days. I did not appreciate heavy smell of cigarettes as my order was being taken. I will be going to our regular village in off power and Ray.

Very bad service tonight. Walked in and sat down, ordered off the VIB menu. Waiter brought me water, no lemon. Recognized no lemon and said he’d be back. 61 mins passed, no food, no waiter to check on us. Still no lemon. We got up and walked out and was confronted by the staff. He said it would be right out. Sorry, if it takes 60 mins to cook me an egg, there is something wrong. Won’t be back.

My girlfriend and I came to this establishment to dine in on a Wednesday evening. I was super excited because I had just gotten off of work, and I have never been during free pie night. We sat at our table for 15 minutes waiting for our waiter. During this time we did not get any acknowledgment. Not even a single greeting. The place was not busy. There were only two tables with customers in our section. The wait was fine. We were just upset that we didn’t get any acknowledgment. We ended leaving to eat at the Chipotle nearby.

Got raw potato pancakes… sent back. Didn’t get them til after I was done eating… server rude about it. 2 stars for the nutella cream pie.

I give this joint 4 stars because I love VI pie! The service here has always been courteous and quick but the food hasn’t always been the greatest. It’s just greasy spoon but nothing beats a pie run to village inn late at night! I come for the pie and I always will!

Good selection of breakfast items, great service. However the three stars are for the quality of the food, not the best I e eaten. I’d take a Cracker Barrel anyway of the week.

I’ve visited the village inn this past weekend for the first time and I was blown away by the food. I was expecting a Dennys/​IHOP service/​food, but I was happily wrong. The portion/​quality of all of the food was substantially better than it’s competitors, even the fruit cups. The service wasn’t dramatically exceptional, but enough for me to give a 15% tip. Both my fiancé and I agreed that this will be our go to breakfast joint rather than our usual dennys. Although the price is slightly more, it’s well worth the price and a much better buy comparing it to the competition. As we paid for our meal, I told the cashier who happened to be the manager that it was our first time and we loved it. He thanked us for the compliment and informed us of the specials and deals going on every day. He seemed pleased and asked us to come again as we walked out, which is a simple yet hard thing to find nowadays.

I recently started eating there and loved it so much I am now a regular. I have read some recent reviews and don’t understand there complaints of slow service because I have gotten fantastic service since day 1. There is sometimes a wait this time of year but well worth it. I mean what great restaurants never have a wait. They serve breakfast all day and far exceed any experiences I have ever had at Dennys IHOP or cocos… We’ll never step foot back in one of those other places… village inn for life

Hmmm… Where to begin?
This was my first and last time eating at a Village Inn. The waitress was extremely slow, and basically slapped the receipt on my table without even asking me if I wanted pie, which I did. I think the food at McDonald’s is much better.
I ended up paying the bill and going to Dairy Queen for dessert instead. And actually I got better service at the Dairy Queen drive-​through window

A year later and nothing has changed. The service was slow. Nearly impossible to get a drink refill even after asking 2 people 3 times. The food was cold in the middle. Looks like Village Inn has become nothing better than a Denny’s.

Came in for breakfast /​lunch crowd. Told 15 – 20 minute wait and was seated within time told. Nothing spectacular with the menu. Typical stuff– kinda small portion size, but not horribly expensive. Not really tons of flavor, but it was alright. My husband and I may go back one day. But for now I’d rather have some hearty diner type food.

Great experience this visit. Seated quickly. Served quickly. Waitress was pleasant. Food was tasty. They were having a good day. Only complaint is that once the ticket is dropped they don’t check back. And it was free pie Wed. Had to flag down a manager.

We «were» regulars every Wednesday for free pie with the mother in law… I can not believe how bad the service is there any more, in fact the last time we were there apparently there was some confusion on who our waitress was and everyone just kept walking past us… Trying not to make eye contact! Many times before that the service just was very poor, to top it off when they asked how every thing was as I paid I informed them of the terrible service and her response was, it’s so busy on free pie night… Trust me it wasn’t busy! keep in mind this was over a month ago there wasn’t a snowbird in town!
I will have to find a new place for us to meet up with the mother in law. Will not be returning!

Hells yeah. Haven’t had this place since Iowa City.
Best mozzy stix ever!!!
