    What a find for those who are from out -of- town! Located downtown, in historic building,…read moresandwiched between other eateries. There are several dining areas situated up and down stairs. There's also a balcony for al fresco dining. Cute, cozy brick interior. As for the food....YUM, YUM, YUM. We had the smash burgers. Believe me when I say the Celine Dijon was outstanding!!! Sounds strange but the crispy friend cheese was unique and with bacon jam.....Home run. Would come back just for that. Mr. Egon was good,but didn't compare to Celine. Handcut fries were plentiful but thought were overly seasoned. Dipping sauce was .75 extra. We shared the generous slice of whipped peanut butter pie, drizzled with fudge. Would have preferred whipped cream. My preference. Drinks were not strong. Orders were served with that sweet southern hospitality. Highly recommend reservations for weekend. Public parking provided in back can easily fill up on weekends.

Quality food, good beer selection. Nice seating, pretty private at table. We enjoyed the place/atmosphere more than the food, though the food was a good quality. Nothing grabbed us about this place. I feel bad saying it, service was great, too. Try it, you might enjoy it.

There were no neon lights or signs or anything to make the restaurant look open. Walking into the front door was interesting. To be honest, I'm surprised I stayed. The door has random stickers on it and, quite frankly, is a mess. Ladders were at the entrance and I'm not sure if they were there just at the time we were there or if that's where they are stored. We sat down and were not impressed. The place just seemed dirty. (Mostly my impression because of the entrance). I know this is not a fine dining establishment, but we were looking for some good wings which is why we ended up at Will Henry's. Turns out the wings were really good. They were big and saucy. We also ordered a grilled chicken sandwich which was just ok. The service was ok as well. Apparently, there were a lot of "regulars" there because everyone knew each other and knew the staff. So that's nice that they have returning customers. I don't think we will be back. We will continue the search for great wings.

The host said it was to celebrate the spring season since they did a apres ski theme during the winter. So festive. Okay so boom, we came here on a whim since we were going to a concert in the area later that evening. Surprisingly it wasn't busy for a Saturday which I expected it to be. Unfortunately though they had upcoming reservations so we weren't able to sit in the main room. We sat in their second dining room which was off to the side but still decorated. Our service was still good and the waiter was very attentive. For apps, we got the She Crab soup. I would've preferred for the crab meat to be sprinkled on top vs. in the soup but nonetheless it was still delicious. Super fresh!! Omg. I even contemplated on switching my entree to the stuffed grouper to get some more crab meat. I ended up getting the Shrimp scampi which was a great choice. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint with the shrimp. 6 jumbo pieces. Omg. The entree was done pretty well and it was just the right portion size. If we had more time, I would've ordered their toffee bread pudding or the honey crème brulee but that's all the more reason to come back. Oh and order the It was all a dream cocktail. It tastes like vanilla. Done to perfection.

Our server Crystal came over immediately and greeted us. I've been to the Smyrna and Midtown locations so I knew what I wanted. I ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls with ranch. My friend and I enjoyed them. They were hot and fresh and the perfect balance of spicy and savory. For our entrees my friend ordered a patty melt and I ordered the chicken nachos. His patty melt honestly didn't look that appealing to me. He ate it but it didn't give patty melt vibes. The burger looked dry and the toast wasn't buttery at all. My nachos however were Delicious! I could honestly say the grilled chicken nachos were the best I've had this year. The flavors were all there. Even a few hours later when I reheated my leftovers the nachos were still good. For dessert I ordered the brownie sundae. I normally order brownies wherever I go if they serve them. This was one of my least favorite. Our server said it's served warm but I couldn't tell. The top layer is very hard and crunchy but under is gooey and smooth. I barely got a full scoop of ice cream. More like a sliver of ice cream. Whoever they get the brownies from they should prob find a new vendor. Overall we had a good visit and I would def return for some of my favs.

    You know it's too bad my first experience here I really like the place so this is not my review for…read morethe second time that I've gone‼ I am beyond disappointed with my experience at Village Burger. From the moment my daughter her friend and I walked in, we were treated like we were a burden instead of paying customers. The attitudes from the employees were rude, cold, and completely unwelcoming. Nobody seemed happy to help, and the entire atmosphere felt miserable. After waiting 10-15 minutes for our food to be "freshly cooked," I expected at least hot food. Instead, I was handed a turkey burger that was barely lukewarm and french fries that were cold, limp, and already wrinkling like they had been sitting forever. To make it worse, the fries looked like nothing but the tiny leftover scraps from the bottom of the potato bag. It honestly felt like they just threw together whatever they didn't want to serve anyone else. We sent the fries back, and when they brought them out again, they were only slightly warmer than before -- still not hot like fries should be straight out of the fryer. What's even crazier is that the manager brought the food back to the table and STILL never apologized. No concern, no accountability, nothing. That alone says everything about the customer service at this place. Whatever happened to quality food and decent customer service? Customers are paying hard-earned money and deserve hot food and respectful treatment -- not cold leftovers, terrible attitudes, and management that acts like it doesn't care. Extremely disappointing experience, and I will definitely think twice before ever coming back.

The service was good. We were able to order quickly and we didn't have to wait long for our meals. I got the turkey club pita and it was sooo good. It was so big I ate half and then ate the other half the next day and I think it was better the second day. The cucumber salad is ok. My friend liked the mushroom Swiss burger and said it was cooked to his liking. Some of the fries were not hot and it seemed there may have been old and new fries mixed in. There were tons of fries. I'm already thinking about when will I make it back there to get another turkey club.

Revamped the menu & still great choices. Old 1-2 Burger is not on the menu, our daughters FAVORITE. I have never tried. Our serve/bartender said old favorites can still be made. We laughed they it is now the "secret menu" item! Well they made it PERFECTLY!!! My hubby had a Brisket Sandwich with horseradish sauce- enjoyed. Both got tots. Oh, they have great bar selections too- a good menu of drinks. I had the blueberry/lavender slush- you can taste the booz, $11. I LOVED my glass & mentioned I was about to steal it- tender told me they are old from St Patties Day & approved me legally removing it from the premises. They were trying to get rid of them. We had a GREAT time! See ya there!!
