I'm not a big fan of breakfast due to egg allergies I am limited to what I can eat. All the fun stuff is out because it contains eggs! Darn you Village Inn for making sure you are making things from scratch so they contain eggs!!! I do like that I can make my own breakfast from the VIB menu and that I can get a burger at 9 am if I want it. Hey! who said breakfast had to be eggs and bacon??? Normally things are quick and pretty standard. I don't go often but this location is usually well staffed and on the ball getting things done and people in and out.

One of the better village inns because the wait doesn't seem to be as long and the atmosphere is friendly. Nothing particularly special about this one, but I've never had a bad experience here either.

Its a VI. The food is...well good...like all other VI's. The difference is this one is clean. Really clean. The staff is friendly and the service is always prompt and accurate. You have to love one of the skillets, or breakfast options they offer, or pie. My favorite pancakes are thr multi-grain. This VI is quieter than the southlands location and cleaner than the other Aurora location.

I am a Village Inn fan, in general. We used to eat here on Friday nights when I was growing up so I think it fondly as the breakfast for dinner place. I honestly don't think I have had anything but pie and breakfast at any Village Inn - and I love both! This VI is in the parking lot that has Movie Tavern. It is a little quieter than the Southlands location and I found the staff really friendly. Can't go wrong with their skillets or pies! Also, their buttermilk pancakes are the best - simple goodness. I definitely am a fan!

Great service on our early Christmas Eve breakfast. Everyone here seemed super nice and happy to be there. (On the holiday, no less). Breakfast was stellar as always. I got the chicken fried steak and eggs and was honestly finished about halfway through - there was just so much of it. They were super busy with people coming in and picking up Christmas pies, but had enough people on staff it really wasn't a big deal at all.

Place was clean, server was quick and friendly, and food was the way I ordered it. Nothing to complain about and I'll be back for breakfast again.

My family just finished eating lunch here and despite being very busy they were very attentive to each patrons needs. For my family it was their attention and patience with our 4 and 1 year old. While we waited for our table, the manager brought us some crackers to keep the kids happy and once we were seated, our waitress made sure to bring out the kid's meals first, which no other restaurant has done for us before. They were professional, patient and extremely kind to us!

Good wait staff, But: They have a scrappy/crappy/dumpy looking Manager (that doesn't care and apparently has never managed anything or a restaurant) and slow food prep. Server was great but observed other tables waiting long time on clearing and checks, just like we did. Our food took 40 minutes to arrive and not hot - sorta room temp. Place sucks Sunday Morning rush later would have been way worse with this wantabee Manger. I prefer IHOP or Perkins Eric

I'm a very big fan of places that serve breakfast every day of the week. The more options you give me, the happier I am! Village inn has numerous breakfast options and combinations at a really good price. Their advertising and brochures are amazing, and ultimately what brought me there for breakfast. It was one of the worst places I've been to - the eggs Benedict's smelled rancid, the sauce was curdled and the bacon was stale. The table wasn't wiped down before we sat down and we had no napkins brought to us until well into our meal even though we asked more than once. Refills were impossible because nobody came around to check on us, and the pancakes (3 the size of my palm) were lacking compared to everywhere else I've had breakfast. I won't be going back. Ever.

I really don't think that the previous negative review of this Village Inn was well deserved based on my personal experience. My husband and I rolled in here for a late night dinner (~10:30 pm). We had been studying and working all day and our eating schedule was completely out of whack. We were also starving, and wanted something quick and close to home. At this time of night, there weren't many patrons, so our service was super quick. Our waitress was remarkably perky for that time of night. Impressive. By comparison, we must have looked tired and sullen. Fortunately, our food arrived rapidly (two omelets with included two small stacks of pancakes). The omelets were fluffy, not overcooked, and filled with fresh veggies. The pancakes were also fluffy. Not the fluffiest I've had, but pretty fluffy. (Why was I obsessed with fluffiness? I must have been thinking of the fluffy pillow I was going to pass out on after dinner). ;) The fruit cup was a bit lackluster (some not-so-sweet watermelon, grapes, and pineapple), but it's a Village Inn. I won't hold it against them too much. I liked the quirky, colorful, 1950s-influenced decor. Colorful, pastel stripes and some antique-y touches from the era added a touch of fun. After living in Aurora for over a year and a half, I'm surprised we haven't stopped here before. Now that we know what the quality of food is, we'll likely be back for other late-night, oh-god-I-forgot-to-eat-and-look-at-the-time outings.

What can I say that you probably don't already know bout Village Inn? The food is usually pretty decent and the service is pretty good. Typical American food with good flavors and lots of choices. This is a great choice when we don't feel like driving all the way to central Denver, or waiting for an hour.

Service was good for are extremely large party. Large group of 30 + meeting up before Children's Hospital 2012 Toy Run. I had the eggs Benedict which I would not recommend in the future. The English muffins where stale and eggs cold. The pancakes however where good.

In an attempt to make it a special first day of school - the kids and I decided to go for Funny Face breakfasts at Village Inn this morning. MISTAKE - we left with Frowny Faces for sure! The restaurant was not busy in the least - I think there were 5 tables there. It took nearly an hour for us to get our food!!! And when our food did finally arrive my 3 small berry pancakes were as thin as paper, definitely not worth the money. The kids' Funny Faces did not even resemble faces at all, and didn't have whipped cream on them (which we all know is the best part of the Funny Face Breakfast) I am sorry, AN HOUR??!!! For pancakes and eggs!! It was horrible! Don't you people specialize in BREAKFAST!?!? Even my 9, 7 and 5 year old were able to depict how horribly SLOW it was! Our server was a sweetheart and apologized for how long it took for the food to come out! She stated there was a new cook this morning, and that he had made a mistake, and she attempted to sooth my frustrations with free hashbrowns or fruit.. But we were in such a rush to get out of there to get to school on time, that the kids scarfed down their breakfasts in about 4 minutes, were not even able to finish, and we had to run out the door. So much for a FUN, relaxing, nice breakfast before the first day of school - We will not go back anytime soon, IF EVER!

We come here a lot. We love coming here for late breakfasts. The kids are always entertained by their coloring menus. Out of the fifty or so times we have been here we have only had one instance I can remember when the food was sub-par (including service). We got the feeling when we walked in the door that day that something was off. But don't focus on that because this place is great as well as the food. Plenty of options and decent prices. They have specials on specific days. They also have free wifi if you need to conduct some business while chowing down on breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Love the food, worked at village inn 10 years ago and it just gets better each time I come. Tonight, we came here and Shaun the assistant manager was working his tail off! He gave me suckers because I was waiting long and greeted everyone with a smile. He is the exact type of manager a VI needs to run their restaurant!

This particular location is right across the street from my house so its perfect. Now, I will definitely admit that this place is hit or miss whether its the quality of the food (which you shouldn't be expecting much for the price) or the service which is usually pretty bad. However, I visited them last night after a later movie and I felt compelled to write a review. Our servers name was Armando. We only went in for pie and coffee, it was all at our table within 5 minutes which is unexpectedly quick for Village Inn. He was very laid back and funny as heck. Definitely ask for Armando when you visit Village Inn on Hampden and Tower. PS: For what its worth I have been in the service industry for 15 years, so I have learned to appreciate great service when I see it.
