    Strawberry crepe
    Michelle B.

    Positives: waitresses are sweet and funny And are on top of any requests. Food is always consistent and tastes great. Came out very quickly. Negative: I'm not sure why...but when you walk-in, it just smells funny in there. Like it needs a good bleach scrub down.

    Came here by accident and was really glad we did! Village Inn, I believe, is a regional chain with a menu similar to IHOP or Shoneys or the (now defunct) Sambo's. We came for dinner and intended to follow up for breakfast the following morning (breakfast didn't happen). First, this place looks like an IHOP inside with booths and tables, sound-muting carpet and a low-key lighting. It's pleasant. Service at this location was fantastic -- from the host to our server, we felt important. I had the Friday fish special (all-u-can-eat), which is billed as "white fish." Being from the deeper South, I was just happy that it wasn't catfish, though I'm not sure whether it was pollock or tilapia. Either way, it was battered and fried and showed up with hot fries and cool slaw. Excellent for the price. My wife and son, as is usually the case, went a little lighter with their meals. She had a Reuben sandwich and he had a turkey sandwich of some sort. Both looked appealing, and they said the (sandwiches) were delicious. What got me though was the lettering on the wall about this place serving the best pies in the country. I told our server "I'll be the judge of that" before I decided on the caramel pecan. My son ordered the same thing; my wife ordered the strawberry Hawaiian. Best in the country? I'm not sure. But the pie here is certainly the best I've had in a while, and could win a contest at just about any county fair in America. Not only did the filling taste like the name (caramel and chocolate -- many pies are just cloyingly sweet and have no real flavor other than ... sweet), the crust was as flaky as I've ever had outside of a homemade version. As excellent as everything was, I'm disappointed that our plans changed and we couldn't have breakfast here the following morning. If dinner was any indication, it would have been one of my best restaurant breakfasts in a long long time.

    Wonderful

    Today was our second time being at the restaurant, and it was as good as I remembered from the first time. The staff was excellent, friendly, and happy. The food was excellent. I had the waffle with apples. The apples were warm; the waffle was cook perfect with crispy edges. The syrup was good, not watery or artificial tasting. My boyfriend got the ultimate breakfast, and he liked it as well; eggs were cooked perfectly. The manager was very friendly. I would recommend eating here.

    They have a gluten free menu. Several options. The Ultimate skillet has tons of flavor and will fill you up before you can even get to the 3 pancakes that come with it. The biscuits and gravy comes with 2 large biscuits and tons of gravy. Plus a sausage patty. The Cobb salad had a good portion of each topping. Come in Wed and you get a free slice of pie! The pie is amazing. Cant go wrong there

    Adventure Saturday!!! Today we took a drive into Springfield and visited Finley Farms - a MUST go…read morefor a little bit of history with a load of amazing food. Finley Farms is the Ozark Mill along the Finley River that was purchased by the daughter of Johnny Morris (owner of Bass Pro Shop). They did a huge renovation and conversion to include a restaurant, country store, fine dining speakeasy style bar and restaurant, coffee shop and gardens. We started with brunch at the Ozark Mill restaurant. Then walked the grounds, including an old bridge. We headed out for a few hours and returned for dinner at The Garrison (speakeasy vibe bar and fine dining). We had reservations on the patio and it was simply gorgeous. The food and cocktails were amazing. Service was exceptional - We cannot wait to go back!

    I have visited this place several times now and always been impressed... until tonight…read more It was a Saturday night. It was 8pm, 2 hours before closing and an hour before the kitchen closed. We were promptly greeted and seated as always. We were then immediately greeted by the server, Austin, who made it very clear his mission was to get us in and out promptly. He immediately asks if we knew what we wanted to drink. Mind you we literally just sat down. I told him we would look at the menu but we'd like some bread and oil to start with. He came back for our drink order after just a minute or two and then immediately asked for our food order. Mind you we haven't even hit the 5-6 min mark yet. It was quite clear we were being rushed. So we hurried and gave him our food order. But because I was already perturbed, no drinks were ordered. Now mind you I almost always get a bottle or two of wine. (one of the main reasons we go there is the wine selection) Our server Austin returned after about five minutes with our food. Getting our food so quickly was a surprise. However, still no bread and oil so I reminded him. Which he admitted he forgot. The food was lukewarm at best and had no flavor. We waited for a few minutes for Austin to return so we could ask for salt and Pepper only for him "this time" to suddenly disappear. So I got up and asked the bartenders for salt and pepper. The food was bland and the serving size was half of what we usually get there. When Austin finally returned with the bread and oil, the bread was cold. No attempt at heating it or toasting it. It was literally a roll of French bread, cut into slices, and then some oil thrown in. We were hungry so we ate our dinners. Austin returned as soon as he saw we were done eating to take our plates and asked if we would like any desserts. I made a comment. I don't want any desserts if they taste like our dinner. He then grabbed our plates and walked away, staring at me the entire time. He then immediately brought our tab, which was $79 for two plates of half full pasta dishes, one iced tea and a cold French bread. I have been there several times before to where the service was outstanding, the food delicious, and the atmosphere great. But this was quite disheartening especially at being a Saturday night. I almost always order a bottle or two of wine plus an after dinner cocktail. Because of the way I was made to feel and how bad the food was. I decided not to stay and left almost immediately after my dinner. Especially since it was made so clear we weren't necessarily welcomed to stay. One thing I've always found kind of catchy about the place. Is they serve your water in old retired liquor glasses. Both glasses of water they brought still had the sticky residue left on them. Which was more of an agitation after the night we had. Again, overall, the previous experiences will allow me to go back again. But this experience needed to be heard.

    Upon entering there are various eclectic gifts. Many are related to wine and cigars. Very nicely…read moredecorated. Wonderful atmosphere! Inside has a beautiful bar and tables to dine in. My sister and I dined outside which reminded me of a cafe on the street in Paris. We both ordered the salmon salad. It did take some time for our order to arrive but it was well worth it. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The waitress was very attentive with refills on iced tea and cold water in jars for the table. Everyone we came into contact with was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

    First time here, good first impression…read more.. Stopped in for a bite to eat on a Friday night on the way home from Branson. Place was honestly pretty quite which was a surprise for a Friday night at 8:00. Ordered the queso with added ground beef for an appetizer. The dip was fantastic! Although the chips served with it were extremely salty. For entree I ordered the sirloin cooked med/rare. It was presented to me closer to medium, but delicious nonetheless, and it was a very thick cut, every bit of 2 inches. The loaded mashed potatoes were good, but slightly underwhelming, and the fries were great. Wife got the burger. She said it was really good, and the kids enjoyed their meals as well. Popcorn shrimp and "homemade" penne mac n cheese, but noted that the sauce was peppery. Not spicy, but had an overwhelming peppercorn taste. Service was fast and attentive. Again, first time here. I had never heard of them before this day but the food gave me a TGI Fridays vibe. This is a good thing IMO. I will definetly be back!
