Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Village Inn
When Thanksgiving rolls around and we have been nominated to bring the pies, I come here. A quick phone call to pre-order the pies (to ensure they have enough on hand) and a stop on the way home home from work the day before guarantees that we will show up with (almost) the best food of the bunch.

I recently moved to AZ and I've only been to a couple of Village Inn locations (this being one of them). I've had my fair share of diner-type restaurants in California; being that we have Denny's and Norm's in abundance over there. I'll have to admit though, this Village Inn. has good food like most I've tried but truly stands out for their fantastic customer service! I've been here on three different occasions and all have been pretty consistent (food and service). One other thing that I like about this location is that it's one of their newer restaurants and I personally like "new" and they have FREE WiFi to boot. Oh and I almost forgot, try their new iced coffees... they're pretty good!

Wanted to find a place that was open Christmas Eve after some last minute shopping to grab some dinner. Was headed to the Chili's in this parking lot when we noticed Village Inn had plenty of cars around it. I'm glad we stopped by! They had a holiday turkey or ham special for under $10 with delicious thick sliced turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, biscuit, and cranberry sauce except they ran out before we got there so we went without. It also came with a slick of pumpkin pie at the end that was wonderful, not too sweet or spicy. The service was on point. 4.5 stars

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

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.

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!!

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.

This place is absolutely hands down one of the best diner restaurants I have been to in a while! Last night my family and I went to dinner at the Village Inn located on Signal Butte. We were seated immediately, and had our drinks within seconds. Tammy was our waitress, and she was great! Our food came out within twenty minutes of ordering. The food was hot and was delicious! I rarely give five stars but the service that Tammy delivered was above and beyond my expectations and the food was phenomenal! I will be back and I will continue to bring in family and friends! Thanks Village Inn, and thank you Tammy for a wonderful family dinner :-)

Staff is inattentive and unprofessional. If you come in with a child don't expect to be waited on immediately, or have your drinks refilled.

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 fiance 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 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!
