Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Village Inn
We have had the opportunity to eat here many times over the last few years. The food is good and the service is very good. The staff is quite friendly and personable. You will find it to be your basic American diner much like a Denny's. Be sure to save room for the great pie or as an alternative take one home to enjoy. The pricing is reasonable and overall I find it a place that is consistently reliable. Enjoy!

I struggled with giving the second star but my wife enjoyed her meal. We have eaten at the Village Inn over the years. My first clue that something had changed should have been that there was not a lot of people here. In the past there were times that we had to wait just to get a seat. I cannot understand with only about 30 people in the restaurant why they even used the table that was just in front of the prep station for the servers. But that is where we were seated. We had my grandma along with us and she doesn't move very well so I didn't ask to be moved. I did not enjoy hearing the kitchen chatter and watching the wait staff prepping dishes to come out. My meal was mediocre at best. I specifically asked if the cranberry sauce had whole berries or was just jellied. The server specifically told me it was whole berry. I just don't like jellied cranberry sauce. You guessed it; I got jellied cranberry sauce. This is a small thing that added to a marginal meal. The biscuit was dry. It seemed as if it may have been baked earlier that day and left under a warming lamp long enough to be dried out. The liver and onions were very good as was the side order of onion rings (served piping hot - good stuff). They lost me at dessert. The Village Inn heavily promotes their baked goods. I ordered my favorite, carrot cake. This carrot cake was horrible. It was dry and hard. I hadn't been to The Village Inn in some time. I will not be returning.

The Village Inn is a good, basic American diner. The food is good, if a little bland and boring, and their selection of pies is always extensive. The service here is quite good, all the waitresses are attentive and friendly. I certainly can't complain, I just can't rave about it either.

Solid choice for breakfast. The staff is friendly, the environment is inviting, and the food is great. The coffee is really good too. It is a great place to just sit down and have breakfast with the family.

Generally speaking, a nice hearty breakfast and some good coffee, without a wait or a line, is pretty much always a good thing to me. Out here in Beaverton, there is the one spot that always has a line and we avoid that as much as possible. Good food yes but when I want to eat I'm usually hungry now and don't want to wait. And so, we stopped into the Village Inn yesterday. Our service was excellent, very prompt and accommodating. We were both in the mood for chicken fried steak, so we each ordered that for breakfast -- me with scrambled eggs and toast, him with over-easy eggs and pancakes. I have to confess, I don't really like eggs very much. I see them as kind of a necessary breakfast evil, good protein that justifies me eating things like hash browns and gravy. BUT, these were delicious -- they've got to be cooked in pure butter. So good! And probably didn't cancel out my hash browns. Oh well. The hash browns were a little overdone, too much crispies and not enough soft potato. But ok. Good chicken fried steak, nice and tender. I didn't really care for the gravy though. I'm sure it was canned, and tasted like it -- a little metallic or something. Just not quite right. But everything else was really good, including a bite of my fiance's side of bacon and one of his pancakes (we traded toast/pancake so we each had a little of both.) I'd go there again. I would try something else on the menu, but would have no reservations going to Village Inn for breakfast in the future.

It's now mediocre at best but I love the grown up grilled cheese. It appears as if the kitchen no longer takes pride in the meals they produce. When I first started coming here about a year ago, they were awesome and better than these chain Diners. For the past month or so I've seen a change in the quality of food being made and I hope the standards, are increased and they become more passionate about the food they make. Their version of seasoned fries is a side cup of salt and pepper to sprinkle on the fries. Really? Are you serious? What a joke. I hope they get their act together soon.

Food was what you would expect from a breakfast chain. Service was not good but that seemed to be because they were being given too many tables. Don't come here unless you have at least an hour to kill. We were day almost immediately but good took over 45 minutes. We left 90 minutes after walking in the door.

Our first time here. A lot like Dennys only better. Friendly service although not fast, was good and attentive. The portions were very big and you can pretty much build your own huge breakfast for under $9.Kids eat free on Mondays and I will be back for free pie on Wednesdays.

Been going to Village Inn for several years, only with family which started with my grandparents. Never been a big fan. Now, if you are fan of the Denny's/IHOP/Perkins type of restaurant, Village Inn is that. In my experience I have found it to be nothing special (though my family does which is why it got 2 stars). I am also not a bit of a pretentious dessert/pastries person, so based on the level of main course, have never bothered to try the pie (and apparently Thomas B only read the last paragraph of Bret's review). But I am told it is good, though that is also being told that what is served is good, which makes those judgement about the pie suspect regarding quality. With that said, the staff at Village Inn are nice, and on the most recent visit they greeted my family by name. They also don't try and do what they are not, and don't seem to try and give their food any flair/added specialness such we see with their competition. I make no recommendations either way, just that it is down market to my usual fair, and not as brilliant as some reviews below suggest. But if you want a homely, comfy-style food and atmosphere, this is a place to go.

Typical breakfast fair that's kinda comparable to Denny's. It was fast, well priced, had a clean bathroom & service was ok. Gave it 3 stars because my meal (Garden Benedict on potato pancakes) became mush but my families breakfast seemed pretty good.

Village Inn Makes the best PIES around. I got a kick out of Bret's review. He says they promote their "baked goods," but that's not even true. They promote their PIES. It is no surprise that when Brett ordered a slice of cake he was disappointed, because Village Inn is famous for its PIES. It's no different than if he went to steak house and ordered a chunky burrito, only to wonder why the Mexican food isn't too hot in there. Go figure. If you want a great piece of cake, by all means go to Publix bakery. But if you happen to be at Village Inn, be sure to order the PIE. It's to die for!
