They close at 3pm and the doors were locked at 230pm already. I had a mobile order so I wasn't even trying to sit down to eat, even if I did there was time for an order at 230. I called and no one answered the. One of the waitress saw me knocking and gave eye contact, did not bother to come up to the door. Very unprofessional and lazy, will not be returning read more

If you want paper thin burned pancakes , this is your place . I also ordered a cream cheese crepe with xtra whip cream , when it came out there was no crème cheese and no whip cream .

I Was also told I couldn't have onions added to my hash browns , ummm they do every time . All 3 tables around us the orders were messed up . The server said it was a new cook, but it's much more than that We will never go back ! read more

Food was good! Aisha took care of us and she was great. She was attentive and made sure that our food was hot and experience good! Her service is great! She also has a great sense of humor! The ambiance is just meh. It's not the fault of the employees but the owners. It's time for a make over and now! A little paint, glue, and a deep clean would be great. This Village Inn is in a great location but needs to be spruced up. The team works HARD to take care of the facility and customers. Please give them a better working environment! Shoutout to the chefs too! Also, the specials are great, HOWEVER, if the restaurant looked better...everything would be bomb ! Again...shoutout to Aisha for taking care of us and just being so kind!! Danni was there today as well and took care of a few challenging situations and handled it WELL!!! She was also running around as always taking care of everything...she must've been a track star!! Katrina was there taking care of her customers per usual. They all work well together! THANK YOU!!! read more

Went here recently for breakfast and the labor shortage is hitting this place pretty hard. We've always enjoyed this place as a solid staple of a 'good' breakfast. This last visit was ROUGH. It wasn't super busy and when we were sat down, we weren't 'initially' told about how slow the kitchen would be. After we sat down, we realized there would be an issue when it took 15 minutes just to have someone address us. The waitress was frazzled due to the frustration of the kitchen as it showed by her demeanor. Once we placed our order, she mentioned that the kitchen was a backed up and orders were a bit slow. I wish she emphasized HOW slow the kitchen was. Everything was off... just off... the food was lukewarm and just didn't have the pop that this place usually gives. I'm on the edge of making this a 1 star review but am giving it the benefit of the doubt that it could've just been a very bad day for the place. But the kicker - for 5 people, we were there for about an hour and a half... yes.. 1.5 hours.. Be cautious if you go here and ask the question if things look suspicious. Food Taste: 3 Overall Service: 1 Value of food to cost: 3 Facility: 2 Repeat customer: maybe Dog Friendly: no read more

First time visiting one of these establishments and it was a little off putting. The waitresses while nice and helpful, kinda argued about seating customers because they were short staffed. The booths could use a good upgrade and upholstering (a lot of tape and torn seats). My main reason for even writing a review was for the very skimp, overpriced piece of pie I received. For almost $7 (after taxes), the slice of pie I got was so small. It actually pissed me off because of how small it was . I should have just waited and brought a pie out of the freezer section from the nearby grocery store. read more

Huge shoutout to the amazing lady working at Village Inn this morning (06/06/2025)! She was the only server on the floor, completely swamped, but still managed to keep things running with a calm, personable, and super relatable energy. That kind of attitude is rare and very appreciated, especially in an understaffed situation like that. I ordered a mimosa flight--it came out perfect! While waiting for our food, my husband and I even commented on how clean the restaurant was, which was a really nice surprise. When the food came out, she actually refused to serve my husband the grits--which I totally respected. Once she showed us, we saw why... they looked like leftovers from yesterday: thick, lumpy, and just not it. Then I noticed my entire order was wrong--eggs were overcooked (I asked for soft scrambled), and the crepes were not only the wrong ones, but they weren't even crepes--just rolled pancakes Honestly, this kind of thing happens to me often, so I wasn't too phased. I politely sent the order back but told her not to worry about remaking it--knowing how much she already had on her plate. But here's the part that truly stood out: as we were paying the tab, she came from the back with my corrected order, made perfectly, and said, "I had to set them straight back there" Even though I didn't get to enjoy it at the restaurant, I rode home excited to eat my meal. Her extra effort really turned the whole experience around. So again, THANK YOU to that hardworking woman--you made a difference today read more

Me and my husband got the Reuben sandwich and it was a major disappointment There was no sauerkraut just cheese and meat, the meat was a hard ball in the middle sandwich cut in half Only one half even had meat and the half that did it was a hard ball very hard to chew Both sandwiches were the same Service was great and restaurant was clean I'd give the service 5 stars but the food no read more

The food was badly prepared, and it had to be sitting, ready to serve at least 25 minutes before it was delivered to the table. Everything cold, English muffin saturated with grease and eggs fried, not poached. Coffee was light, looked like tea when poured. It was awful and I recommend avoiding the restaurant, it's just that bad. read more

Lady at the front was rude as soon as we walked in. We had our infant, stroller baby items and a drink. The first thing she said was "outside beverages can't be in here, we can throw it away". My husband asked if we could just finish the drink and said we would still order drinks at the restaurant and she simply looked irritated and said "uh no". So we turned right around and left to eat at first watch. Make it hard and unreasonable to spend my money, then you don't get the money. My parents normally eat there as regulars and they also won't be back. Simply because she couldn't say no with kindness. read more

We have visited this location on numerous occasions, after our Sunday mornings church services. The waitress and waiters are always great helpful and very friendly. The restaurant is always pretty bustling with diners. Our waitress today was Sheryl, I have seen her before but we are not usually in her service area. Today we had her pleasure and she is a absolute doll. Joyful friendly and helpful. Sheryl made went thr extra step to provide me with French vanilla coffee flavor, I really appreciate her for this. Sheryl delivered our meals and checked on us frequently to see of we were good and we were. The 3 stars are for Sheryls service and the food. I didn't rate 4 stars because the window had soooo many flies fighting to get out , bouncing against it, the table and my seat. ugghhh I didn't fuss about it because I just wanted to eat and leave. I emplore the restaurant to please get control of this pest problem. I am sure the new Bridgeport area just 1 mile down offers great restaurants that serve breakfast. I honestly will check the window next time for flies before we sit to dine. read more

We sat for over an hour before receiving our very sub par food. My BLT was dry and gross. I asked for an extra dressing, never got it... others said that the French toast had no taste at all. I could completely understand if the restaurant was packed but it was over half empty. read more

Chicken Fried Steak was great, my eggs were supposed to be scrambled hard with cheese the chef just threw cheese on top of my eggs (HORRIBLE). I asked could they melt the cheese and he literally put it in the microwave and sent it back. French toast cold and not tasty. All in all a 3/10. Waitress was blah read more

We arrived and the parking lot seemed crowded but since it was just the two of us we were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and timely, and my wife and I both got the same thing: chicken fried steak with hash browns and scrambled eggs. Except she took the pancakes that came with it while I swapped those out for an English muffin. The food was really good, like comfort food. Decor as others have said is set back in time. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner all day so if you want dinner food at breakfast it's available. A welcome addition to Northern Suffolk! read more

Village Inn - Chicken Fried Steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

Went to Village Inn on College Dr. on April 30. I ordered a veggie omelette that the menu says comes with a fruit cup and choice of toast or pancakes. My order did not come with the fruit cup. When I asked for the fruit cup the waitress said it was an option and I chose the pancakes. I pointed out to her that the menu says comes with Ranchero sauce and mozzarella cheese. Served with a fruit cup and choice of toast or pancakes. She said again that the fruit cup is an option and her manager wouldn't let her change that. I could see we weren't getting anywhere. I went on the Village Inns website and left the message above. I received an email saying someone would contact me within 48 hours. No one did. I responded on May 6th to their email saying I was still waiting to hear from someone. Still no contact with anyone from Village Inn. Very disappointed, used to go there quite often and this was the first time we had this issue. Didn't recognize the waitress. Assume she was new there. Also very disappointed with the management, saying they would contact me then ghost me. read more

This is such a solid breakfast spot!! The chocolate pancakes are a must. The cheesy eggs were nice and fluffy and the hash browns were shredded (my fave) or you could order the chopped country potatoes instead. The service was fast despite how busy they were and there was tons of parking available too. Would absolutely go back! read more

My daughter and I went here for lunch after a day of Fall Festival Shopping and we were happy we did! She said she loved her Cobb Salad - it was fresh and the chicken was warm and tasty! We both loved the fries - hot and just the right amount of crispness! My Grown Up Grilled Cheese was amazing - I really loved the Parmesan crusted bread! Delicious! Our waiter was awesome - very attentive, funny, and engaging! We were both bummed our teams (Penn State for me, Norte Dame for him) weren't playing! Great location, too , so more shopping done! read more

Village Inn - Men's Bathroom - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

On February 8th my wife and I came to the Suffolk, Va location for breakfast at 0930 am and noticed the lack of workers on the floor and quickly it was evident the service was going to sub- standard. It took nearly 10 min to get a server to take my drink order then another 10 min to get two hot teas at which time we gave our order. We received our order over 30 min later and the food I received seemed like half was missing. We have frequented this location a few times and the Va beach location many times so the portion sizes is something we are familiar with and on this day it was definitely lacking ( see attached photo). Our server did the best she could but we only counted about 3 servers for the entire diner counting the manager. We have finished our meal roughly 20 min now and we still have not received our check. Ownership needs to overhaul the staff here with people who are willing to come to work.we have watched at least 3 different patrons leave due to lack of service. At least half the establishment is empty and it's that way due to lack of service which can be just as detrimental as bad service. read more

Last Saturday, our Men's Ministry was on our way back from playing Top Golf. One of our members pointed out that the Village Inn Restaurant was the best kept secret in all of Southside Virginia. Now I had originally decided to go on Wednesday by my lonesome but my family talked me into going today. Turns out we made the right decision because not only did our waitress Kay took excellent care of us but Mr. Vernon cleaned the restroom and restocked the paper towels. The food was AMAZING, though I forgot to use my $10 coupon for becoming a new member (or something like that)! But mark my words, I will be back, but this time with some more friends and family. Keep up the amazing job. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this location. They used to be on it and were very well run. Now.......we attempted breakfast. The waiting area had more people seated than the actual dining area. I know staffing issues plague everyone these days but come on. If you're only going to seat 4-5 tables at a time and then have unacceptable wait times.....why are you even open on a weekend morning? All is does is get yourself a bad rep and poor reviews read more

First time visit to this chain. Liked the 1960s vibe to the place. I ordered the chicken fried chicken sandwich. Liked that the sandwich was topped with crispy bacon. I was disappointed with my server, who was either not interested in providing prompt customer service or was not trained properly to provide it. read more

It was pretty empty when we went since they were only taking cash. Stood at the hostess stand to be seated and waited while she had a conversation with another staff member. Sat down and waited about 10 minutes for our server. Our food came out stone cold!! The cheese could not even melt on the eggs they were so cold. Needless to say, we got up and left. The water was refreshing though. They give the Villiage Inn franchise a bad name. read more

Really not a fan. The service is great- that's their two stars. From the host & hostess at the front to the server to the cashier- all incredibly nice & hospitable. The food was not good at all to me. I got French toast with hash-browns, bacon, & scrambled eggs. The french toast was the only edible thing, and the eggs were mediocre. I asked for my bacon extra well done, and it was still too undercooked for me (although I like my bacon burnt to a crisp...). It tasted like they had it sitting around and threw it in the microwave. Not good. Then my hash-browns were SO greasy!! They tasted similar in texture to the bacon. I almost was gonna send my bacon & hash-browns back (I'm not one of those who are afraid if it's not how I like it- if it's an easy fix, that is), but since majority of meal was "meh," I just chose to suck it up and deal. Oh- I also ordered a mixed drink, and it was overly sweet (this was after I ate syrup on my french toast, so you know it was too sweet!). I am disappointed, but I'll just go to the Waffle House next time. Their food is always good! read more

The food was good, but the waitress was nowhere to be found. After paying for my bill the manager came out yelling at my family that I didn't pay my bill and that I needed to be stop. Accusing me of dinning and dashing. I got out my car and confronted the gentleman and I told him I want a apology to my family and myself for the false accusation. I have the receipt in my had. I also don't like the fact that only one day they offer military discount. To all my vets and active duty personal, do we stand the watch only one day of the week? I would like to see this restaurant go under. Will not go back. read more

Ayesha was our server and she did great! Very attentive and service was quick! Thank you, we plan to come by again!

So my partner worked at Village Inn all through high school and college, so there's a serious nostalgia factor at play anytime we decide to stop by. If we're being honest, it's not much different from other obvious breakfast chains we could bring up. But, that doesn't mean it's bad, because it isn't. It's good simple comfort food. Who can't get behind that? I know I always feel a little better about life after a visit. I'd recommend the breakfast skillet. Any of them, they're all good. Special note: the pie. It's worth checking out. read more

Village Inn - French Silky sweeeeeet goodness. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

I LOVE me some Village Inn -- like for real. It's so nostalgic for me -- and not just because of the retro decor and diner atmosphere. Before the chain got all the way out here east, it was more of a midwest staple where I grew up. I waited tables at one for years to put myself through college. So, whenever I run across one, I love stopping in to grab a quick bite and ALWAYS, ALWAYS pie! The pie is where it's at ya'll. So, I am BEYOND thrilled that this location opened up because the VA Beach and Chesapeake ones are a haul for us from Newport News. We passed this while we were wandering around in the area and were like, WHAT?! How did we not know this was so close to us!? So now we've stopped in several times for a quite bite and some pie. The staff has been super friendly and efficient every time. The location is clean and inviting. If you're looking for a decent diner/dive breakfast/lunch spot, or a really great slice of pie, this is totally your place. read more

Used to come here all the time, but apparently you have to be black to be treated good! We were waiting and a black couple (two at that) came after us and waitress sat them and didn't even ask to put our name on the list! Shame on you! Oh and we used to be regulars! Not anymore! read more

It was a clean, friendly atmosphere. The food was decently priced and was quick and snappy. It was very middle of the road for me, not the greatest but not the worst. The friendliness is what spurred a 4 star for me instead of a 3. read more

Village Inn - French Toast, Bacon, Sausage Links, Eggs, & Hash Browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

Was way out in this area on a random Sunday, a friend wanted to go here, I obliged. This location is newer than the one i'm used to (the vb location) it was PACKED and even more bogged down due to server shortages a la covid, Thankfully with us being such a small party we didn't have to wait too long. Our server was a tall and friendly Gian who was extremely helpful with suggestions and order customizations. Our food came out pretty fast, everything was fresh and hadn't been sitting around, our server brought out condiments as requested and overall made our meal much more enjoyable. The cleanliness is a little better than the vb location as well so I'd be more inclined to come back here should we be in the area again. read more

Food is great service is wonderful people friendly place! Clean just perfect I love the meatloaf and mashed potatoes

First things first the service was horrible. I went with my parents for brunch. We get there and we are seated and the waitress takes our order like normal . Just for reference there are only like 6 other groups of people in there with us. We end up sitting there for a good 1hr and 30 min. Then once she comes over to give us our food she give one of us the wrong Side. Then she's forgets our drink. Finally she tells us we will get a discount for the wait yet we never got it without us having to ask. On top of that i ask for a to go cup and she forgets it and with all of that my dad still gave use a tip. Just so y'all know our waitresses name was Ava!!! read more

We just left this restaurant after sitting for 30+ minutes to be served. Servers walked right by us and did not ask if we wanted anything. Thankfully, the lady who seated us brought us water and coffee, but the wait continued on. We finally got and paid for my 1 one cup of coffee after explaining to the cashier our disappointment. This was highly unsatisfactory service. read more
