Best pancakes in town!! I've eaten here countless times and the food/service has always been great!!!

This place was not busy at 530 in the evening when we stopped for dinner. The reason I gave them this score that I did is because half our meal was finished before my husband's sourdough toast made it out to the table. I have shared the photographs of the lip marks on my cup. Which is interesting, seeing, as I was drinking from the straw. Makes me wonder how well their stuff gets washed? Location was clean and pretty quiet. There were five tables that had people sitting. It's been a really long time since i've been to this place... I think I just forgot why lol read more

Pre-ordered pies 2 days in advance. When i arrived to pick-up, I was advised one of the flavors I ordered was not available. They admitted to underestimating how busy they would be on a holiday, however if there were preorders placed those should have been set aside and not sold. I was told it would be over an hour wait for my order. No attempt to rectify the situation was made I had to ask what pie options I had as I was not able to wait an hour when I choose the pick-up time specifically to pick up on my way to an event. No attempt was made to offer a discount or any other accommodations for the lack of preparedness. read more

The food here is consistently excellent--I've never had a meal I didn't enjoy. I love that they serve breakfast all day, especially for dinner. Our waitress was warm, friendly, and attentive, and our booth was spotless. This place is absolutely deserving of five stars. read more

So very disappointed. I thought i would drive down from the far NE side- i normally love this place and it had been a while since I'd gone for breakfast so off I went. Its Easter so I figured it would be busy... I check in put my name down - the bench was full so I went outside. .. they said about 20mins. So I'm watching videos on my phone, people are coming and going its been a while so after the last group of three came in I went in and watched them get taker directly TO A TABLE!!!?? WTF?? I was invisible. Totally bull village inn- totally bull. Happy effing Easter! I'll never go outta my way to come to you again... pretty sad for a chain that has had to close all the other Tucson locations. Do better. read more

Very good breakfasts. I love the warm atmosphere inside. For years I've enjoyed Village Inn, especially to order pie after an evening movie. During the pandemic rents went up and two Tucson locations closedown. This location is off 22nd west of Pantano. Today was my first visit at this location and it was just a great experience. Our service was spot on. Drinks within a moment of sitting down, and our food order came out so fast it couldn't have been 5 minutes. Our server Christine said " we don't mess around here!" When she brought out our order so quickly. We must have looked shocked. My food was hot, well prepared and tasted super. I ordered the pumpkin pancake combo and my husband ordered the bacon and egg breakfast. We noticed they have a Monday evening Bingo game; so we plan to go for dinner and bingo soon. My husband got just warm hash browns and so not 100% perfect but a good place for groups . Very clean inside. Appealing pie counter. Quick turn around from entering to getting meal/ service. I'd highly recommend read more

Was hankering a pie, got the Lemon Supreme... this pie IS soooo amaaaazing ( ‿ ) Was perfectly sweet, this made feel as if this business isn't trying to give me type 3 diabetes and it reminded of sweets in Japan (*´`*) I definitely know where to go if I want dessert without feeling nauseous. read more

We frequent village inn for breakfast and pies. They are always outstanding. The service is the best!

Ordered pick up for dinner with 2 slices of pie one pecan and the other what I thought was suppose to be French silk, it looks like a serving of whip cream with little chocolate mousse filing. It's been 2 years since my last slice of French Silk, feeling dissatisfied and disappointed read more

Well what can I say. Village Inn is where you expect to get decent food. We got the fish fry and it was hot and fresh. It does seem the food had increased in price which is on average for all restaurants these days but Village Inn seems to also be increasing in portions. But the best part was our server. We usually have great service but Antonius was a new level. He has the great balance of seemingly being stand offish and not over bearing but warmed to our table and really was able to poke fun and make a normal meal fun and a great time! Good work everyone! read more

Went to go get my favorite pie, they were out ( T_T)＼(^-^ ). So I got another, not going to say which pie this one was... it is also spectacular. Hopefully I won't consume this one in a day, oh hell who am I kidding ٩(^‿^)۶ read more

We had the worst experience at this restaurant. Roger was our waiter. All i asked him if he had the Valentines Soecials. He was so rude after i asked him. He only deserved a $2.00 tip but i had to pay at the table. I gave him 18% just to be nice. He gave me receipt and shook his head while walking away. read more

This restaurant has a management issue. My husband and I came here for Sunday breakfast, and I watched our waitress deliver my exact meal to the table next to us. 3-5 minutes later, she comes back to that table, asks the man if he touched his plate, he said 'no', she picks up the plate and brings it to me. Normally, I might be okay with this, but that was a particularly large table with a lot of talking, and I did not feel comfortable eating food someone else talked over for 3-5 minutes. So I asked if I could have it remade. She said yes, and a short while later brought back a hot plate for me. But it was the SAME plate, and I know because I always cut into my food before sending it back for this very reason. I told her this is the same plate, and I proved it, and she blamed the kitchen for pulling a fast one, which may be true, but I don't think so. Anyway, I didn't care, sent that one back again. Meanwhile, my husband is done with his meal while I am still waiting for mine. It finally comes out, and it is hot and good. Should have done that in the first place. The waitress comes back at the end of the meal and asks if she can make the meal a better experience by offering a slice of pie. We agreed that it would make our meal better. We eat the pie, and she brings the bill, and she charges us for the pie, which we thought, by her phrasing, would be comped. We asked her about this and she said, "I can't comp it because I don't want to get fired." So now we were bamboozled into buying dessert after all of that. If it had been free, I would not be writing this review. I do not believe this is the waitress's problem; I believe this is a management problem, and I am very disappointed. read more

Go to place for delicious breakfast! Have had other selections and every time, the quantity and quality are well worth it! If you have had the privilege of meeting Christine, you undoubtedly will request her each time! read more

Village Inn - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

It's been awhile since we've stepped inside a V.I. and breakfast was calling! This location was a bit of a drive for us but we like rides. Fortunately my guy woke early yesterday (Sunday ) morning and we beat any potential crowds coming in. My other half was craving pancakes big time and ordred them. I went with the build your own breakfast, 2 eggs , home fries, 2 pancakes and fruit. YUM! Our food came pretty quickly and boy was I hungry. Of course I asked for the Green Tabasco sauce, because it tastes really good and The prices aren't too bad and I think you're getting your monies worth. They are practicing safety precautions. Everyone must wear a mask to enter, food servers are masked and ours had gloves on. Booths have plexiglass sperators. We'll probably be back soon because an open for business restaurant and a decent breakfast place is getting harder to find. read more

Food was good. A breakfast was exceptional and the service is well done. It is a good restaurant for breakfast and for lunch highly recommended for all. read more

We have been coming to this location since we moved to Tucson 4 years ago. Every time we come here we are always greeted with a smile. The food has been consistently great since we started coming to this location (might be the only remaining location in Tucson), and the service matches! FYI: ask to sit in either Christine or Anne Marie's sections. They will both treat you like family, I guarantee it! Two big thumbs and two big toes WAY up for Village Inn. Happy eating, my foodies! read more

Ordered a BLT and a club sandwich off off door dash. First the lettuce was not the kind you put on a sandwich but the kind you use to garnish a plate. Just awful and had brown spots. The meat didn't taste right. The bacon was extremely fatty and hard to eat. Even the French fries have become worse than what I remember. Won't be ordering fron here again. Used to be so good. read more

We've been here a few times recently and some of the food is surprisingly good. I especially like the Cobb salad. You wouldn't expect good salads from a diner type restaurant, but the toppings are plentiful and fresh. I've had it several times and was pleased each time. They specialize in breakfast which is the meal I hated them for years ago. It's very important to either order a specific dish and avoid the VIB mix and match, or if you are getting the VIB to only order things they have to cook special for you. I mistakenly chose the cheese omelet 3 years ago and it was high school cafeteria quality. I didn't come back until just recently. Tonight I had the chicken fried steak breakfast skillet and it was very nice. There was a lot of food and it was all good except the pancakes. My pancakes were crunchy on the top and bottom. Pancakes are easy so that's minus a star. Tonight was free pie Wednesday so the servers are totally overwhelmed. Our server had 4 tables and she completely helped each table before starting on the next. We were, unfortunately, last and it took 20 minutes from when we caught her eye until she came to our table. Our pie came packaged to go without us asking for that. I think it was because everyone else had wanted that. Once recently we went just for pie and coffee. The pie was fantastic. Caramel pecan silk supreme was just the best! (That's not a free pie option on a Wednesday.) Overall tonight we had good food for a fair price with lackluster service. It's better if you're here not on a Wednesday. read more

mistakenly followed suggestion re fish n chips. Only 1 of us 4 finished their meal. The fish was tough so that the battered exterior slid off in my hand. Makes for difficult dipping into ok tartar sauce provided. Strawberry/rhubard pie was totally delicious & worth another visit; key lime pie ok. Service was prompt & courteous. read more

Very small portions of food for the price, the pie prices off the charts I can but a whole one, the servers act like they hate their job couldn't get her to come to table had to go hunt her down , no water refills had to ask 3 times just an overall bad experience with food and service will never go back. read more

I am the great granddaughter of the founder of Village Inn and I went out for pie with my boyfriend ended up having a full breakfast made fully by Antonius. He literally read my boyfriends mind and knew he would want ketchup before he even asked for it. All jokes aside Antonius is the best server we've had in a long time. We enjoyed the conversations and amazing humor. I would love to be his friend hahah 10/10 food 10/10 service Will absolutely be coming back! read more

I have been going to the Village Inn here in Tucson for a year now and I want to say that this is one of the best run VI's in the USA.

The service at this location is terrible. We were seated at 6:12 pm. We finally left at 6:42 pm when the server was more interested in serving her regulars that arrived after we were seated. After 30 minutes of waiting she never took our order. The food isn't that great to wait that long. read more

I hate writing low reviews for a business, but when it's warranted... It seems Village Inn has really been going downhill for some time, now. ;-( I used to love to go in and also enjoyed their pies. Just purchased a whole coconut pie. It was awful. It appeared they forgot to bake the pie crust. In addition, the filling was awful. It tasted like they either made it from instant filling or added flour at the last minute. I struggled to get through a small piece I'd cut for myself. Finally decided it wasn't worth it or the calories. I could (or would have), justified the calories if the pie had tasted good. It didn't. Probably my last attempt to get one from there. The last 3 times I purchased pie from them I wound up throwing it out -- just like I'll do with the rest of this one. Nothing like paying $15.21 for a pie that I'm just going to throw out. ;-( On the other hand, I may take the rest of the pie back to them for a refund. read more

This was our first visit to Village Inn and it was very nice. It reminds us of a Bob Evans restaurant from back east. They have great breakfast food and their dinners looked great too. The service was fast and very a attentive to us. We didn't have to ask for any refills and the orders were exactly as we asked for. The inside of the restaurant was clean and felt very comfy. It is styled from a decade or two ago but nothing seemed dirty or unkept. I would recommend if you are in the mood for good home cooking food and definitely try some pie! read more

Have Saturday breakfast every week at Village Inn. Best waitress ever Christine. If you've been in there once she remembers what you ordered. Good friend of our came in about 4 times a 18 month ago. Came to visit us this week and Christine said same as you had before and stayed the exact order they had before. Very clean restaurant. Their food is good. Mike, the manager checks on everything. Very friendly and professional atmosphere. read more

Village Inn - German Roaches and the fecal matter. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

After waiting 30 minutes for two waters and some pie (which we never got), we decided to leave as it seemed we were forgotten by the one server and host who were there. We were subsequently chased out by another customer, who was apparently sent by the staff to confront us over "not paying for our food." Not sure if many restaurants in Tucson require you to pay for your entire meal prior to even getting water, but Village Inn might just be one. They have signs when you walk in that say it's "the best pie in the country", it should probably say "The best pie you'll never have." Seriously, don't ever visit this place unless you feel like wasting time. read more

I really like that this location is modern with an open floor plan. The food includes a great variety of foods for breakfast, which has been becoming a problem for chain restaurants. Our favorite breakfast place has had major menu changes and no longer met our needs, so we have been looking for a new place. I think we have found a good breakfast place with great, friendly service. Now These places do fill up quick, but really early and late is a great time to visit. Lots of crepe's, pancakes, omelet, meats, gravy, veggie oriented. The BEST part is service which the people are great. We were there for Veteran's day and also for weekend visit with no issues and great staff. We will definitely be back and I don't see any reason to look for other places for a variety of breakfast foods. (Our main thing is finding a place with variety, good hashbrowns, gravy, veggie options and crepes.) Thanks again to the staff. read more

We ordered for delivery, delivery was good, food was pretty good but a side order was missing. When we called back to just have the order amount adjusted we were told the item would be taken off our bill. Nope that didn't happen, we still got charged for the full entree. It was a simple order only two meal on a Wednesday evening. Update.... the manager reached out to me to make this satisfactory. So all is good in the world of Village Inn again. read more

The food quality and certainly the service at this VI location has declined significantly. One server, in particular, Roger, becomes extremely difficult and rude when stressed with having to serve multiple tables. We visited here a few weeks ago and, since no "please wait to be seated" sign was posted we sat ourselves. He walked by us several times and ignored us when we asked for a menu. We waited 10 minutes but he still didn't help us. A table of customers told him that we had been waiting awhile and he told them (loud enough for us to hear ) that not being seated by the host is why "that's why they're going to wait." When he finally did give us menus, some 15 minutes later, he was loud and rude and gave me a very insulting look. This guy should not be interacting with customers. While we did use to come here 4-5 times a month, we will not go back. read more

Sometimes the food is ok here but sometimes it's just slop from the kitchen. Probably need to adjust the attitudes of some of the employees and managers as well. Prices have gone up and quality and service has taken a hit. read more

My girlfriend and I were recently in town visiting her parents and since we do not have a Village Inn in California, we made it a point to eat here while in town. Definitely did not disappoint whatsoever! I ordered the steak and eggs with coffee which is about as much of a breakfast staple as you can get and I was more than happy with this meal! The steak was perfectly cooked at medium and the scrambled eggs were so good. They definitely don't skimp on the serving sizes and are more than able to swap anything out upon request and that made for a really enjoyable experience with how careful the waitress was with our order. She was also hysterical and we had a great time quoting the movie "Pretty Woman" with her! My only wish was that we had a Village Inn in California but next time we make it out to Tuscon, they can definitely expect a visit from us again. read more
