After playing a round of golf nearby, needed to grab some lunch. Found this restaurant with outdoor seating, airshow was happening and wanted to catch a few more planes going by. Our server was friendly even tho they were busy with the lunch crowd. Our group enjoyed a few appetizers to start, pretzels and pickle chips. Great dipping sauces , ranch dill was delicious! I went with their boneless chicken in garlic parm sauce... mmmmmm. Onion rings and French fries were both crispy and loved. Othered enjoyed bbq wings, nachos and chicken tenders. read more

Nice little restaurant to sit outside and enjoy lunch while catching a glimpse of the planes during the air show. Food was good. Nothing to rave about but typical bar food. Drinks were cold and service was good. Bathrooms clean. Parking lot plentiful. Only downfall was there was a few wasps entering the black iron table legs. Must be a nest inside. Eek! read more

Food was top notch. I had a wonderful bowl of French Onion soup and split a burger and sweet potato fries with my friend. The burger was fresh and juicy and the fries were crispy and delicious. The one thing that made me give 4 stars was the noise level in the dining room. Of course the place was packed but it did quiet down considerably once a lot of the diners finished. Next time I will time my visit a little later but will be back for sure! read more

We stopped by after a long drive, hadn't been before. Food and service was spectacular, Emma was our server. The Reuben was the best my husband ever had, and my French dip was mouthwatering! It came with a full bowl of au jus, and the beef was tender, visible fat and gristle removed. Will absolutely make it a point to return!! read more

The Fish Fry was AMAZING!!!! OH MY LORD!!!! The beer batter was delicious! Yet the fish itself had taste too!!!! Fries were soft yes crispy... also got some onion rings thing but TASTY!!! The slaw also hit as well 5 out of 5 must east! read more

Excellent food, coconut cream pie was excellent!! Homemade! Definitely recommend this place for a nice dinner read more

A very nice, small town "watering hole" that offers a great selection of drinks and some really good food! I can see why the locals enjoy this place, as the staff was very friendly and quick with relevant recommendations. After a full day of hiking and driving, we were ready for a big dinner. The French Onion soup was very hearty and rich, with lots of cheese. I thought it was delicious, but a couple staying at the same BNB made comments the next morning that they did not... They clearly don't know good soup! We also ordered the Smoked Wings and thought they were pretty much the perfect wing. Big, juicy, tender, full of flavor. I'm sad that they are 4 hours away from home! After some discussion, decided to order the Antelope Burger with onion rings as an entree. The server said it was a lot of burger and he was correct - topped with grilled pineapple AND pulled pork . Ordered medium and it came medium rare but was the perfect medium by the second bite - impressive! I double dip my onion rings when I make them at home and prefer a really crunchy ring, but these were lacking in the crunch. Still a great side, just wish they were a little more substantial. I wish I could remember the beer that I ordered, as I would recommend it. But I waited a little too long to write this review I would highly recommend a stop if you're in the area, or a quick detour if you're not too far away! read more

The Village Tavern is a decent option in Geneseo, a college town in Western NY. The menu has diverse options including salads, burgers, and a decent tap list. My street corner salad had a lot of texture and blackened chicken. It is pretty casual but has a nice outdoor patio space. It was mostly full on a Monday night. read more

Good food, but I don't like how they changed the fried pickles. Back then it was a huge box of them for 9$. Same price and it felt like I got so much less :( read more

Found this place on our travels home for a cheer competition and we will definitely be stopping here again. Each of us ordered something different and every single dish was outstanding. Our server Chad I think his name was outstanding. Great place to hangout and have a great time with fantastic food. read more

Stopped in based on all the positive Yelp reviews and we had a great meal & conversation. Lots of parking, outdoor seating, and there is a ramp to get in but the door may be difficult for someone in a wheelchair. The 2 bathrooms are gender neutral. We sat at the bar and Chris promptly greeted us, gave us silverware & menus, and asked for our drink order. Despite the focus on beer, several patrons were drinking wine and Chris made a very good Cosmo for me. Our dinners were delicious. I had the steak and romaine wedge - love the combination of flavors. Hubby had a burger cooked perfectly and delicious tater tots (I had to sample a few). All of their desserts are homemade. Hubby LOVED the peach cobbler. I had the key lime pie - it was delicious but sweet - could use more lime IMO. If we lived closer we would be regulars here. We'll definitely stop back. read more

Decent place. Went for lunch while visiting WNY and stopped in. We were greeted right away with the option of indoor or outdoor seating. We opted for indoors since it was pretty hot out. Ordered drinks and food quickly but after that it seemed to take ages to receive the food. I ordered some wings, crispy. They were good but wished they were a little more saucy. We shared fries, which my hubby and I didn't care for. Everyone else liked their meals though! read more

During the summer, long drives are for random.stops. I love enjoying a long drive and ending up in the middle of nowhere ... I believe this day we were heading to or from Letchworth State Park We checked out the Village Tavern for a quick bite. They had a nice indoor and outdoor patio. It's in a small little town and sits on a corner. Very large place with hometown classics. We indulged in burgers, roast beef, wings, and sandwiches. Unfortunately, it got so breezy that we had to ask if we could be seated inside. We took a high top table, and no sooner than we came in, our food came . Everything was just fine. There was a great ambiance I'm gonna have to go through to update with pictures read more

Cozy, dependable go-to for some good pub grub. They always have interesting choices for burgers, sometimes made with game meat.

Went with a large group after a soccer game. They accommodated us even though it was not too long until close. The hostess and waitress were friendly and efficient and the food came out quickly. I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tater tots. Everything was great and they also had a nice selection of beers. Recommend! read more

We moved to Leicester New York six years ago, this is our main go to! Food is always on point, very tasty and priced decently. And they have homemade desserts that are outstanding! Highly recommended. read more

Good food, good service, and nice Ambiance. It's nice to have consistent all the way around.

Came on a recommendation of a friend and checked it out on Yelp first. We were greeted quickly and seated soon after. Everything was really good. Our server was friendly and attentive. We will be back read more

We stopped in to Village Tavern on our travels today. Friends had recommended it and it exceeded expectations. This was one of the best burgers we've had in a while with a great blend of meat, thick cheese, a soft bun that stood up to the richness, and a really zingy chipotle ketchup that was amazing. We also had an Apple and Brie Sandwich with side salad. The sandwich was super interesting and delicious. The salad dressing was also unexpectedly wonderful-- a citrus vinaigrette. Staff was attentive and the deck is lovely. We will definitely stop again. We expected really good based on friends, but this was really GREAT! read more

Quick and friendly service. Hot and flavorful food. Nice bar with several dining areas. Each time we have visited the Village Tavern we have been satisfied. The service is prompt and they brought waters right over to the table. I personally love potato soup and was fully satisfied with this appetizer. I would recommend the Street Corn Chopped Salad and the portion size was generous. We really enjoyed adding tater tots to our meal which had a salty, delicious seasoning sprinkled on them. The bacon jam on the Wagyu burger is excellent! The room smelled freshly cleaned (maybe bleach) which was a bit overpowering with the food smells. I'd rather smell clean than yuck though - so it's tough to consider that a complaint. Keep up the good work Village Tavern. We enjoy visiting your establishment and have been sending friends your way when they ask where to get a good meal in Geneseo. read more

Service was great. Ambiance was fine. Food was terrible. The waitress asked how the food was but I didn't have the heart to tell her how awful it was. read more

Spent the day visiting Letchworth and saw the great reviews and decided to stop in for a quick lunch! Service was good, our waitress was attentive and kind. The atmosphere was cute, small bar, small town vibes! We got two meals and split it - the bacon barbecue burger was literally to die for - the burger itself was seasoned so well, I was disappointed to give up half to my husband . We also split an order of chicken fingers to share with our toddler - they were crispy and delicious, the barbecue dipping sauce was tangy and sweet! We also split the 6 boneless wings appetizer - the sauce was good and the wings were delicious! Definitely would return if we were in the area again! read more

Village Tavern is a great place to go. The atmosphere is fun and lively. Staff is super friendly. Food was fantastic! My husband got the sweet stuffed banana peppers, so good!! The wings are great too! They have an excellent selection of bourbon. read more

My wife, daughter and I tried this restaurant for something different from the chain places around the area. Never being to the place I was intrigued by the size of the building. Upon entering you are greeted with a nice bar setup to the left and one of the dining rooms to the right. I believe there are three separate dining areas inside plus a nice sized outdoor dining area too. We ordered the soft pretzel sticks as an appetizer, which were delicious. They provide a beer cheese and jalapeno mustard dips. I enjoyed the jalapeno mustard dip, but didn't try the beer cheese as my wife and daughter had that one under wraps. The jalapeno mustard dip provided a great zing and heat combination, which i will need to try and recreate sometime. For dinner I had the Turkey Club sandwich which was excellent. The meat to bread ratio was spot on and the side of house made chips were great and added an extra crunch. The only weird thing was the tomatoes in the club were diced and not sliced. I would definitely order this again. Service was great - our waitress was attentive and kept on top of the table. Pros - (1) Great Food, (2) Attentive Service, (3) Clean Location Cons - (1) Small Dining Rooms, Can be a bit loud when busy. read more

I saw the reviews and one of the things everyone was talking about was the French onion soup, but when we got there, it wasn't on the menu. We were there on a Saturday evening and the place was packed. We had to wait about 30 minutes for our table, the service was okay. Not extremely good, not extremely bad either. The food (chicken fingers, fries and a burger) was also "okay". The fries were a little chewy instead of crispy and they were really salty. Normally I like salty, but this was bordering the inedible. The price was acceptable. All and all, it was better than McDonalds, so that's a good thing. read more

Stopped here with the family for lunch. Great ambiance, food, and service. Drinks were reasonably priced. The waitress went above and beyond to make my kids feel comfortable. She found crayons and scrap paper for them. Be aware that there is a Kids Menu, you just have to ask for it. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Fast and friendly service. Great local spot with good food and atmosphere. Love the convenience of location off of 390

This was my first time eating at Village Tavern and I will definitely be back! The service was great, and so was the food and serving size. I ordered the mac and cheese of the week - this week it was technically barbecue pulled pork, but there was some slight confusion with the change in rotation (not a problem at all for me, I'll eat basically any mac and cheese!), so I ended up having Philly cheese steak mac and cheese! I have to say, it was some of the best mac and cheese I've ever had. Everyone who was working was very friendly, and it was all-around a great atmosphere for a great meal. Highly recommend! (Apologies for the slight blurriness of the photo!) read more

Stopped by for a late lunch, stayed for drinks! Lots of seating outside and inside. Opted for the sunken patio area. Grabbed the large wooden table with an umbrella. Lots of wood bees flying around but none of them actually bothered us too much. Service was prompt. Our server was a skinny little 21 year old who wants to go into the secret service! It was fun getting to know her. She kept our waters full and the rounds of bevvies coming! For lunch, we split the poutine. I had a Cobb salad, which was jam packed with bacon and avocado and blue cheese crumbles. Yum! Finished the whole thing. The poutine was cheesy and gravy-y. It lacked something ... we put hot sauce on it. That seemed to do the trick. Dessert looked good, but we skipped that and just had more drinks. Overall, a nice lunch spot. Bathrooms are clean. Parking is plentiful. read more

After hiking at letchworth we decided to stop in for lunch on the way home. Wife and I were both starving so we ordered some food to share. We got the bacon bbq burger. Best burger I've had in while. Perfectly seasoned. Perfectly cooked. Not too messy either. We also got an order of garlic parm boneless wings. Nice and crispy and agin sauce was perfect. Chicken tenders and tots was the other dish. Everything was good. Service was good as well. Definitely coming back if in the area read more

Allergy (Seafood) heads up: all the fried items from sides to appetizers to mains are made in the same fryer. If someone has a seafood allergy, options are limited here (which doesn't help with the already slim pickings of restaurants around Geneseo). Beyond that, the service is very good and it's a cute little place to eat. They have some unique items that I wasn't expecting such as Elk Burgers. read more

We were here from Michigan for about five days and wound up here three times! Positives: - friendly service - good food - excellent deserts (for those who can eat dairy) Negatives: - I am usually used to this but I wish there was a nondairy dessert available read more

This place has great food great service and it's a nice looking place the servers are very nice and I tried something different and it was amazing. It was a burger with had a bunch of stuff on it. I forgot what it was but it was so good. Their wings are really good too. read more

This place is amazing! The service is fantastic BUT the food is phenomenal. The clams casino taste like NYC and the wings taste like Buffalo. The homemade blue cheese? Hands down the best. A quaint little restaurant that is a must on any list for people who like good food and good people. Ask for Jessie at the bar and she'll make sure you're taken care of. A+++++ read more

Mushu egg rolls - bomb. The sauce is also bomb. It seems like it's mostly cream cheese or something but still. Bomb. 2 per plate and as a fat dude 1 was enough for an appetizer. Pretzels- soft. Comes with 2 large pretzels sticks the size of your average bread sticks. Jalapeño honey mustard was BOMB. Wings - my lady said the wings were good but not something that knocks you back good. No reason to drop a star but wings were fine. Definitely not bad. Bison burger - this was a special - holy life this one is worth every penny, and didn't cost a ton either. Meat was tender. Fries nice and crispy. Overall 10/10 if you like bar food. Im sure some of the food is mediocre as all bars offer some of the same fare but the egg rolls and bison burger were much more than I expected read more

Great lil tavern. Nice beer selection. French onion was on the money. All salads and sandwiches were enjoyed Would recommend! Need to splurge on some real cocktail cherries the marachino in my old fashioned was a first world problem read more

The food was OK, just regular bar food that we felt was overpriced and nothing to remember. The only reason we gave it three stars was the service was good and food was brought out fast and hot. The fresh cut fries were a disappointment and the onion rings were way overdone. My Rueben had very little meat in it. It was loud in there but that is normal for a bar type setting. We won't return. read more

Good food and friendly service. Always a great selection of beers and ciders on tap. Like that they change their menu up every few months or so. Great to try different foods! read more
