The Village Grille is quickly becoming our favorite restaurant in Green Bay. The food is always delicious, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the prices are great. There are some quiet places where you can chat while enjoying their great food. read more

Have eaten here several times and it was always wonderful. Ate here yesterday and there was an issue with what I ordered. I rarely complain in a restaurant but this was inedible so I complained. They were gracious about it and made me what my husband had ordered and it was great. I appreciate how accommodating they were. They were super busy too. read more

I am absolutely in love with the seared tuna offering at the Village Grille. This is a Great Value and it's well presented, and when I'm in the mood for a treat that's where we head. I made the mistake of going to red lobster yesterday, and paying too much money for low quality... We should've gone to the Village Grille instead. Keep up the good work! read more

Had a nice lunch there for my moms birthday and everyone attending seemed to enjoy their meal. A nice atmosphere and friendly service combined with reasonable prices and good food to made it a nice event. read more

the bartender had a btch attitude I tried to order my drinks and she completely ignored me and said that she hasn't gone to me yet , yet everyone had a drink . I think her name was Lisa . She told us that we could go somewhere else . That she was the manager . We tried talking to the owner but she was not there . read more

Waited forever, like 30 mins for someone to come to our table and order drinks, then food came 30 minutes later and was awful. Pizza was a "Chef boy ardee" type pizza, simply awful. Also had a mushroom and Swiss burger that was dried out and no flavor. We had to go up to counter for ketchup and ranch dressing,because we asked for it and it was never received, took even longer for the bill to come, had to go up to the desk and ask for that! No refills! Service was awful, all the way around. Never ever going back! Save your money ! read more

Walked in and sat down at bar "you have a drink menu?" Got the "not sure I've ever been asked for a drink menu before". I replied well some places have quite a few beers, maybe some specialty drinks, never been here before didn't know what to expect. "We have the bar". Thanks Lisa, off to a great start make me feel like an alien. Glad I found the pretentious place near where I live. Now I know to save my money. Perch was flaky, but flavorless. Baby red potatoes, oily. I'll try Graystone instead. This place was a disappointment, a pretentious disappointment, wanting to be high-brow but can't deliver on the food. Golf-geezer type bar. read more

My first visit to Village Grille was during midafternoon, as the friends I was meeting wanted a late lunch. A lunch so late, it could practically be called dinner, I guess! But we were still early enough to make the 2:00 cutoff for breakfast dishes. The place is impressive. It has high ceilings and plenty of booths, as well as a large bar, numerous tables and a couple of banquet rooms. The booths are apparently fashioned from salvaged material from an older place in Green Bay. My friends, who are local, mentioned the name, but I forgot it immediately. Kaaps, maybe? I will say the booth seats had very straight backs and hard flat seating surfaces. Historic or not, you might want to bring a stadium-type seat cushion. My booth was near the front, and I watched the cars going by on Hoffman Road. They were not too busy this late in the afternoon, just a couple of other tables, although there was some type of shower going on in one of the banquet rooms. Perhaps a baby shower, because I saw women (only women) carrying large, be-ribboned packages in pinks and blues. Now I suppose you could carry such garish packages to a wedding shower, but I'm going to go with my gut instinct and say it was a baby shower. This was my first time eating at the Village Grille, as it didn't exist when I briefly lived in Wisconsin in the mid 1990's. Of course, I lived in Neenah, but I would come to Green Bay to visit my family frequently. I also attended church in Green Bay for some time. Anyway, I arrived early so I studied the manageable menu offering appetizers, soups and salads, grilled sandwiches, pizzas and main dishes, including chicken, beef and seafood. The fried cheese curds in the appetizer section caught my eye, as I haven't had fried cheese curds since I went to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Times Square. That's in New York City. I ordered a club soda and continued to wait for my friends. When they arrived, they placed their drink orders and asked if the breakfast menu was still available. I felt like a fool sitting there with the lunch and dinner menu, but I tried to make light of it. Eschewing traditional breakfast items, I ordered the fried cheese curds to start. Although I didn't realize it, the curds came with French fries! My one friend went with the Village Skillet, which was a large plate teeming with eggs, bacon, ham, hash browns served with marble rye. I've included a picture along with my review, if you'd like to get an idea of the portion size. It was very generous! My other friend ordered the triple decker club sandwich. It was also a generous portion. You are able to choose from among many potatoes as sides, including mashed, French fries, sweet potato fries, and grille fries. Prior to ordering, I asked what the grille fries were. The waitress, who was excellent,by the way, described them as small red potatoes, roasted in herbs. They sounded very good but in reality, were just okay. My Philly Cheese steak was served on a long buttered roll and included liberal portions of onions, green peppers and mushrooms, along with the steak and cheese. One or two of the additional vegetables would have been enough, but all three was truly an embarrassment of riches! Since I'd had some fries with the cheese curds, I ordered the aforementioned grille fries. As noted earlier, the Village Grille has an attractive bar area to the left of the entryway. Although I didn't drink anything other than the club soda (for which they charged me the same full price as a Sierra Mist, by the way) it appears that the restaurant has a full liquor license based on the bottles on display behind the bar. The young lady who served us was polite and professional. She kept water glasses full and my one friend who had coffee received multiple warm ups. My friends had both been before and indicated to me that the service was much more attentive on this visit. I offer that only as unsubstantiated commentary since I had not previously dined at Village Grille, but my friends are trustworthy in general so I wouldn't think their statements were inaccurate. I will just state that at my visit, the service couldn't have been more prompt or gracious. All in all, this is apparently the newest hot spot in the greater Green Bay area, although I supposed it's actually in Allouez. Not that it matters, really. One of the reviews I read on Yelp was from a young lady from Chicago, so it appears that it attracts visitors from out of town as well as people who live here. I think this place is a winner. **Yes, this review is an homage to Marilyn Hagerty's review of the Grand Forks "Olive Garden". It's parodied with lots of love. http://www.grandforksherald.com/accent/food/2350615-eatbeat-long-awaited-olive-garden-receives-warm-welcome read more

We had an amazing brunch at The Village Grille for my bridal shower. 50 people and it was excellent!!! i can't rave enough. amazing food and service!!! read more

Was out looking for some comfort food. What better than food from a Grille. On the menu, the Grilled Cheese says your choice of bread and cheese. Many options, which makes it harder to choose. But the sandwich plus sweet potato fries were delicious. Also, despite being like 5 degrees outside, had a strawberry shake. Yum. The staff was very nice. Warm decor. Even saw a couple come in with a scrabble game to play while they ate. Will need to try a Sunday brunch soon. They even have a small bar for a cocktail. Off the main area of restaurants, but worth the visit. read more

My family recently went to dinner at the Village Grille as it was highly recommended by numerous friends and family members. My experience and that of my family's here was absolutely perfect. The food was great, the place was clean and the atmosphere comfortable, but most of all our server, Erin, was the most extraordinary server I have EVER had at ANY establishment. She went above and beyond for our group and made my parents feel so special. I know this dinner will be one they remember. Our drinks stayed full, the food was brought out hot and she was just absolutely wonderful! I will definitely be returning and recommending the Village Grille to friends and family members for a long time to come. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for over a decade and have been looking for my Cheers bar since unloading the Uhaul. After giving this place a few good tries, I finally found THE ONE - Anthony! He makes this place a neighborhood joint, and I'm always looking for a reason to come back! Please post his hours on your FB page or online. We'll be there when Anthony is there! read more

This place use to be our favorite in Allouez but had a horrible experience tonight. Cold food & very poor customer service. Many of their regular, friendly staff were not there. Not a pleasant dining experience this evening. read more

I recently stopped in on a Sunday for their breakfast buffet. It is advertised as ending at 1:00pm, which the staff confirmed. It was 12:30 when I arrived. Almost every single chafing dish was empty. No bacon, no hash browns, no waffles, everything had been picked clean. The fruit bowl was also empty. The only thing left were 2 egg dishes. The restaurant was still very busy when I arrived. It was obvious that the dishes had been empty for some time. I understand that you don't want to replenish everything right before closing, and waste the remaining food.....but I feel that 30 minutes before closing is still a reasonable time to expect a well-stocked buffet. Very disappointed. read more

I do not believe this place even earns 1 star. Out of the 4 diners in our party, 2 of the meals were inedible. A grilled cheese that arrived with the kraft cheese slices perfectly intact! No melted cheese? Really! Mozzarella sticks with marinara. Hmm, still frozen and the marinara was ice cold. Steak sandwich was ok, not even butter on the bun. Very dry and bland. Grilled chicken sandwich was passable as well. Of course we complained and nothing was done. We showed the waiter the meals and his response was zip! Later, he told us that the kitchen was very sorry for the food. One would think the restaurant would at least remake the grilled cheese and mozzarella sticks! Nope, here's the bill. read more

My son and I ate here not long ago. Customer service was wonderful- we were immediately greeted nicely and our waitress was attentive and friendly. I ordered the steak sandwich and it was better than expected and priced reasonably. Anyone who wants good food- in a pleasant atmosphere and a good price should check out this restaurant. read more

Slow service when it wasn't busy, bad waitresses, took forever to come to the table and forever to then come take the food order. Never came to check up and not very friendly at ALL. read more

After living near The Village Grille for 3 years, I visited the restaurant for the first time, for breakfast. Unfortunately, I won't return. The restaurant seemed clean, and the toast and coffee were decent. That's where my positive feedback ends. I had a Philly Cheesesteak Scrambled-Egg Skillet. The steak was very dry, and the eggs were very rubbery and overcooked. All of the vegetables in the dish looked like they were chopped by a child, with non-uniform pieces, so some was raw and crispy, and some was mush. The hashbrowns were undercooked and slimy with not a hint of crispiness. More disturbing was the fact that nothing was seasoned at all. I don't think any of my food was touched with so much as a grain of salt. As a result, it was completely flavorless. The Village Grille serves lunch and dinner, as well, but I don't see myself returning. This was the most depressing meal I've had in a while. read more

We had a group brunch get together here. I have to say, if it wasn't for our phenomenal waitress I would give this place one star. First off, the food was gross. It just was. The roasted chicken was way overcooked, the bones broke apart into small pieces after barely handling it. You'd take a bite and there would be bones everywhere. The mashed potatoes were clearly made from powder, the gravy was obnoxiously salty, the corn was overcooked and drowning in butter, the slaw had so much sauce it ruined the taste, and the rolls were like the ones you get from Costco -hard and tasteless. The actual restaurant space is pretty great, it's large and well decorated. We really enjoyed the small party room that we rented. Also, my cranberry orange mimosa was pretty delicious. It doesn't make up for the food, though. That aside, service was great, our waitress was wonderful, kind, and very attentive. That boosted it up to 2/5 for me. Overall, it's pretty cheap, but I can't stand the thought of going back there for the food. I most likely will not be back. read more

Some people might mistakenly believe that The Village Grille only serves barbecue because the word Grille is in the title, which evokes images of ribs, steak, and burgers. However, the menu provides a breathtaking variety of spectacular dishes that will leave you screaming inside to go back to the restaurant to order more. Although we have never tried recreational drugs or illegal substances, we are pretty certain that the properties of the ingredients used at The Village Grille have similar addictive properties. The Old Fashions are excellent here, you can't go wrong with any appetizer, and all of the menu items we have tried thus far (sandwiches, wraps, fish, etc) have been good all the way down to the last morsel (we even try to discreetly lick the plates when no one is looking). read more

We had the pepperoni pizza - cheese combination is great. Bacon cheese burger - bun was light and burger cooked perfect. Taco Salad - ground beef was well seasoned and tomatoes fresh. All around great atmosphere Prices are a little higher, but definitely worth it. read more

Great spot for a bite to eat. The cafe is quiet and the menu features ample selections of soups, salads, wraps and other fare - including brunch! read more

We are regular weekend breakfasters. Waitstaff is friendly. Bloody Mary's are not worth your time unless you like plain tomato juice and vodka. Wish the Sunday brunch had children's pricing as they eat the cheapest items and not much of it, 10$ too much for kids. read more

Brought a large party of 12 to Village Grille. We were seated promptly by the genial hostess. No needs for a long review but here are the highlights. Drinks were well made, very good Old Fashioned. Food was good, the perch was tasty wraps were goods, etc. Best part was our waitress, Trisha, who was outstanding. I highly recommend this place. read more

Great meatloaf special. The service was great. Nice ambience in the restaurant. Old world charm from the old booths from Kaaps. We'll keep coming back!! read more

We come here once every few months, out of a desperation of not wanting to drive too far and not wanting to make anything for dinner. The food isn't bad, but it isn't anything to write about. Plain, stuff you could make at home (maybe better at home). But the place is clean. If you like a piece of fried fish and french fries, it's fine. Only bottled beer, which is a big disappointment. They could be more of a stand-out neighborhood spot if they got a keg or two. I've had the taco salad, the chicken parm, the burger, the melt, chicken fingers, pizza, fish fry and breakfast buffet. All fine, but not that good either. read more

Since moving to GB we have been to the Village Grille more than any other restaurant, and it doesn't disappoint. Yeah, sometimes the proprietress is a little owly but there's no complaining about any of the food, or drink either. And if you like a cup of soup & sandwich you can really get outta here with little out-of-pocket (though I always seem to need a glass of wine which ups the ante a bit). "Yay! I'm a fan" 4-star rating cuz well VG deserves a bump. read more

Get the homemade soup chicken and wild rice! Great variety of drinks and good prices! read more

I had my daughter's shower at Village Grille. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. I received quick responses to my questions. The food was delicious. I received a lot of compliments. Everybody loved the strawberry lemonade in February. Very nice. I will definitely consider them for another event. read more

We just went to The Village Grille for the first time. The waitress dropped off menus and stated she'd be right back. We sat there for 13 minutes without the waitress even taking our order. She went to the table directly next to us at least 3 times (that we noticed) during that time, including once after they had already left, just to grab the money. It was not even busy there, with only about 10 other tables of customers total, with about 4 total waitresses. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

We went there for breakfast when we were in De Pere to help our daughter and her family with a move into a new house. The place is nothing special. The food is okay. The grand kids like it. We were given a table in a huge room at the very end of the restaurant. Nobody else was there. Maybe they were concerned that the grand kids would not behave properly. Our waitress did not make many appearances. Most likely because our table was too far away. When she came she was friendly. read more

We had a large group for dinner on a Sat. night. They accommodated us without a problem. Service was friendly and good. Food was excellent! The French dip was awesome - juicy, tender, no fat on the meat. The burgers were thick and juicy as well. Perch plate was raved about by folks in our group as was the portobello wrap and taco salad. Good experience! read more

We had a 90th birthday party celebration for 80 plus people here on Saturday night. Everything was great, from the fact that we did not have to guarantee the number of folks attending to the easy way the folks got to pick their menu items at the door (instead of in advance) to the delicious food and the unbelievable cost (less than $40 per person) for appetizers, drinks, entrees and dessert. I would highly recommend the Village Grille for any smaller event. read more
