I had probably the best service i have ever had in a very long time. Our waitress was amazing! I wish I would've got her name so everyone gets the chance to have her as your waitress. Our food came out perfect and tasted amazing! The manager was great! I will definitely be back!!!

We stumbled on this location after we decided we didn't want to wait 30 plus minutes at our normal spot. Service was slow at first. However, once we ordered food came out in less than 10 minutes and was very good. Pleasantly surprised after reading some of the other reviews. Pies look amazing! We will be back. Not crowded and hit right in.

Second time at this location. I'm always impressed with the staff and service. One of the servers recognized us from a visit months ago and stopped to chat... Nice! Had something new in the menu, Nashville Skillet. It looked great on the picture, but not so much when I got it. Taste of onions was to overpowering and the eggs seemed "juicy". I ate it, but wouldn't get it again.

There are so many better breakfast options within a 5 mile radius of this place. For the price, the food is just not good and the restaurant is severely understaffed. A 30-45 minute breakfast visit took almost 2 hours due to the wait to be seated and a long time to get service to order. I will skip this place from now on.

The service was awful on a Monday evening about 7pm. We went to get a couple slices of pie, to go. The manager treated her employees terrible, they forgot about us because of some other dilemma in the kitchen and then the pie was given to us upside down in the to go box. I forgot to mention the slices were tiny.

This was my first visit here. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I came in specifically for a lemon supreme pie for my mothers birthday tomorrow. I got a chocolate as well. The cashier was bagging them up and dropped the lemon supreme face down on the ground. He said he would check in the back. Nothing in back. Arent these things just frozen anyways?! Theres gonna be a delivery of pies before they reopen? I mean its 11pm already.I have to come in on a busy saturday morning to pick up a pie. This is what i was trying to avoid in the first place. He didnt offer to save me one in the morning or take a dollar or two off of the other one or anything. Ive been in this business..... train your cashiers better on how to handle things like this.

Very dirty, only had a handful of people working. Our server was really nice, the food was just okay.

We went there the week they opened and they were okay for a chain. After that it all spiraled downwards. The last two times we had the same server (Stacy, I believe) forget the order after waiting for over 15 minutes and then gave us a free pie of our preference on free pie day. The next time we were lucky enough to get her again, and she did not forget the order this time, but the drinks, besides that it took her a while before she got our drink order. When we got our food she has her thumb inside the potatoes, and also holding a strip of bacon from my Sandwich, My husband's open faced turkey dinner sandwich was okay, but the mashed potatoes were not cooked properly. You know the instant mashed potatoes you get at the store? This were those potatoes, without the liquid. The flakes of potato were right there on my husband's plate. After a second attempt, the potatoes were still very dry. The manager dropped by and asked how our meal was to what we reply that they had a sad attempt at recreating mashed potatoes. She was gracious enough to take his meal off the ticket, but the damage was already done. Again, Stacy offered us a free pie of our preference (they only serve certain pies on Wednesdays, free pie day), to which we asked for just cherry pie (one of the free ones). We decided not to go back to that one, even though it is around the corner of our home.

Do yourself a favor, drive right by this place, turn east on baseline, and drive until you get to Black Bear Diner on the south side of the street. Bad food, bad service.

Worse service ever!!!!!! Don't bother with this Village Inn. The management is awful. There are too many other Village Inn's in the area to deal with the poor service. The one on Power & Ray is a better option.

Looking for a decent place to get a meal without spending too much? Drive on by... We stopped by this Village Inn thinking we might get a decently priced meal at a sit down restaurant. Though the restaurant was mostly empty (should have been our first clue), it took a few minutes for someone to notice that we were waiting to be seated. Once seated, we were brought menus and started looking for choices. I landed on the "West Coast Scramble", which was ostensibly made with cheesy hash browns, chicken, spinach and egg, topped with Hollandaise and avocado. The avocado particularly drew my attention, and when the server took our order I asked for that and a cup of red chili. The server asked if I wanted the chili brought it with the rest of the meal, and I said "yes". My girlfriend wanted to order the meatloaf sandwich but was told they had run out of meatloaf.She ordered a beef dip sandwich instead. Drinks were brought out and we waited for the meal to be brought out, which honestly didn't take too long. Mine was set in front of me, and the server asked if there was anything else he could get us. I noticed that the chili had not been brought out and asked for it. He stepped away to get the chili, and I looked at my plate. No avocado. When he returned, I pointed out the missing avocado and he said he'd get it for me. By the time he returned, my girlfriend had already gotten nearly halfway through her meal. My drink was empty. And he informed me that there was no avocado. I expressed my dissatisfaction as this was the deciding factor for my meal choice. He offered to make something else, which I declined because I didn't want my girlfriend to have to wait while they made something else. He walked away and a few minutes later the assistant manager came to the table. She asked "he didn't tell you we were out of avocado?". Then offered a free slice of pie as compensation. I took the pie, but her question annoyed me. Rather than just apologize and try to make things right, the first thing she did was throw her server under the bus. Granted, his service was not great. With only one other table seated in his station, and given the problems with the order, keeping my glass full should have been a no brainer. Yet I had to ask more than once for a refill. But as a manager, you should know mistakes happen, and putting the blame onto the server for something he likely wasn't informed of by the kitchen is just bad form. My entree was lackluster at best. The "Hollandaise" was a yellowish sauce that tasted canned. The diced chicken was dry and the "cheesy hash browns" were on the form of a patty that was either sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time, or was previously frozen. In the end, we paid nearly $30 for an unsatisfactory meal, below average service, and half-hearted attempts at resolving the dissatisfaction. For that amount of money, we had plenty of choices. We won't make this one again.

Went here just to get a slice of peppermint pie since a friend posted a picture of it on facebook. The service was super friendly and fast. The pie was just okay though, I was really disappointed as I was looking forward to it. Two slices of pie were small (though very rich) and the price was crazy expensive for to-go. I believe $4.50 per small slice? I can't imagine I would ever go back...

We normally love Village Inn. This location sucks. Food came out burnt, service took forever to fill drinks, cooks came out to glare at us when we complained about the burnt waffle. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. There's an IHOP or Black Bear diner down the street on Baseline. This joint isn't worth it the time and aggravation. Wouldn't be surprised it flops in the first year or 2. Management didn't care at all about this place.

the worst service you will ever get. my food took forever and I ordered a burger and fries. and when it came it was wrong and then when corrected it looked like there were hardly any fries on the plate. I do not even like their pies anymore. Marie Calenders in California has much better pie.
