Reviews for The Village Tavern in Long Grove, IL
Friday dinner around 7 PM on a beautiful evening. Fun history, the place has been around a long time. Food took way too long to... get to us considering they were not very busy. Overall the food wasn't that good unfortunately. Party of 6, 4 adults and 2 olderkids. Wait staff was friendly and did well. We wanted to enjoy it overall, but we won't be returning. Mediocre at best acrossthe board. I would head somewhere else. Read more
This is an excellent restaurant. We have been going here for almost 20 years we always had great food and service. They pour a... generous drink. The atmosphere is great...the building is one of a kind on the inside and out. Read more
Established in 1847 and still amazing!!!!! The vibe in this place is something else. Feels like walking back in time. The... furnitures, setups, decorations and from back in the days but looks amazingly beautiful. Nice bar area with lot of differentcocktails. We tried Saturday night ribs special and was one of the best ribs I’ve had. Definitely recommend this place toanyone who is visiting Long Groove area. Read more
The service was great, the food was good and the atmosphere is old fashioned and comforting. Walking into the Long Grove Village... Tavern is like taking a step back in time. Comfort food is served here. The portions are perfect and the food is good. There arenot a lot of frills, but if you are looking for a good, filling meal, add this place to your list. The service is friendly andefficient. Is this a high end place to take someone you wish to impress? No. But if you want to take someone to a place thatsays, "I like being with you", this is that place. Read more
We used to dine-in at Village Tavern Long Grove on numerous occasions up until a few years ago. Yesterday, after a long day in... downtown Chicago (where we could have chosen to eat anywhere!!), we decided to support one of our local restaurants...we all hada taste for Village Tavern. We arrived at the restaurant, however had to take our meals to go. Customer friendly...not really,flexible on simple requests (which we were NOT EXPECTING TO GET FOR FREE)...NO...quality/quantity of our 4 meals plus sideorders...definitely not worth the outrageous bill of almost $80.00 (yes AND I also included a tip)!! I was looking forward to adelicious 1/2lb Cheeseburger (bun on side & extra pickles). SEE PHOTO..THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I RECEIVED FOR $15.00...ABSOLUTELYunbelievable!! Beef stew-mostly gravy...broasted chicken-extremely dry...French fries-stale & soggy...fish fry-I was informed bymy family who ordered it that the flavor was ok but because we were taking it to go (I had a paralyzed family member with us)they would only give us 2 pieces (for $15.00 "all u can eat if u dine in") so I had to PURCHASE 2 additional pieces of fishbecause the 2 pieces for $15 were not a sufficient portion for a male!!! See the photo if my 1/2??Lb Cheeseburger EXACTLY how Ireceived it from the restaurant...hmm is it missing anything??? Pickles that I requested, lettuce, tomato...ANYTHING??? SORRYVILLAGE TAVERN OF LONG GROVE...YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHEAT THIS FAMILY OUT OF AN "ENJOYABLE, QUALITYMEAL". Choosing to support & use a local business for our dinner last night was a BIG MISTAKE!! Read more
Went there for dinner for two, was looking for a relaxing dinner and got one. Service was slower, so I was glad I wasn't in a... hurry. Beer cooler was broken so draft choices were not available. I ordered the schnitzel and it came with a cream sauce thatI would not recommend (picture). Just bad luck this trip. Will try it again. Read more
A fun restaurant that has a history that goes back to the mid 19th century. It's in a historic section part of town to visit... when you are going out for a bite. The food was really good and the service was pretty good. It was a good value and a nice spotto bring the family. Read more
Very friendly atmosphere and small town charm. I chose to eat in the smaller tavern dining area as opposed to the larger dining... room or outdoor tables which were also available. I ended up getting a German style dish, breaded fried pork cutlet over curlynoodles with a dill cream sauce. It was good but a lot of food and I couldn't eat it all. Reasonable prices, nice setting, notloud. Oldest restaurant in Illinois which is why I selected it. Good service. Read more
