Reviews for Village Inn in Tampa, FL
My club sandwich was awesome and the server was terrific. Brought refills without asking. And Free pie on Wednesday's with... entree! Best pies anywhere! Read more
First of all there was no one on our side of the restaurant. It took an hour for our breakages to come out. I had to get up... 3xs to get our waitress because she kept forgetting things. Then I get my breakfast n 20 minutes later she brings my eggs. Service at any village inn I've ever gone to had always been bad. I don't know why I bother. They don't even get the piecorrect. I actually asked if they needed a manager. They came back n told me to fill out a application on line lol I was beingsarcastic Read more
I?ve always enjoyed visiting Village Inn restaurants but this one has a different vibe. The food was mediocre at best. This... location was practically empty during an early afternoon visit. I counted two other occupied tables but the food took more than30 minutes to reach our table. I?m not sure if it was the kitchen or the waitress who took their time serving it. Our serverwas horrendous. We had to ask for coffee and tea refills twice. She was usually found standing near the kitchen laughing withother staff. When she was at the tables, she was yelling and cackling over peoples food. It?s hard to enjoy your meal whensomeone is high pitch chortling in your ear. She is more than I cared to deal with. I would prefer no one stand stand over atable full of food and project spittle everywhere. That goes for Covid or no Covid, it?s just plain gross. The inside of thislocation very old and it shows. At first glance, it?s hard to see the grime but it?s there upon closer inspection. If you lookat the ceiling, you may lose your appetite. But let?s be real, most people don?t usually look up. We didn?t until after weordered and ate our food. I?ve posted pictures to show how filthy it is. The windows could do with a scrub down or two as well.Based on how gross the ceiling tiles are, we will not return to this location. If the dining area is this dirty, I don?t evenwant to see the behind the scenes in the kitchen. Overall, I expect delicious food, great service and a clean establishment.This location has none of those things to offer. I could overlook the waitress because I?m sure there are other great serverswho work here and I won?t hold it against them. I could also chalk up the mediocre food to a bad day or bad cook. However, I cannot and will not overlook a disgusting dining room in need of deep cleaning. With all of this in mind, if you still decide tovisit, don?t look up. Enjoy the extra flavor (dust) from above, blown out ear drums and a dry mouth. Read more
The waitress was the highlight of my breakfast. I didn't get her name but I will next time and I'll edit this review by adding... her name. She was very cordial and made me feel welcomed. She was the only waitress working at the time but she took very goodcare of all the customers that were there that morning. I got the hotcakes and bacon. It was good. Read more
I really enjoyed this particular village in. It's very clean and quiet. Nothing against the other village inn. But at least the... day that I came here was very quiet. Maybe because it's a Monday. Anyway, I had the French toast meal with country friedpotatoes and bacon. My absolutely favorite meal every time I go to village inn. And then I got a banana cream pie sliced to go.They are known and famous for their pies. I highly suggest you try a slice. You do not have to buy the entire pie. And they alsohave seasonal pies. Oh and the staff were very friendly. I had such an amazing waitress. Read more
Wonderful dinner, and super staff, or server was so hard working, and helpful. He had to wait all the tables in the restaurant... and still managed to be a very great server. We got a variety of things, and everything was very tasty with a very big portion.Cobb salad had tons of blue cheese, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, and different types of lettuce. Even arugula, which I love becauseof it's peppery bite. My daughter had meatloaf with mashed potatoes, and onion rings which were very crispy and yummy. Myyounger daughter had the kids meal grilled cheese which looked very nicely cooked. My husband had the fish and chips which camewith 3 crunchy fried pieces, and tons of fries. He ate almost the whole plate ????. My brother got the double bacon cheeseburger, patty size was gigantic, and it looked very yummy as well. Wonderful experience, and I definitely want to go back on Wednesdayfor FREE PIE ???? , thank you to the entire staff for keeping strong during crazy times. Read more
Awesome place! We had such a great waiter and really enjoyed our breakfast for lunch! ????
We eat here frequently, today I?m trying the fruit bowl for breakfast in an effort to eat more fruits & veggies. I wasn?t too... impressed either portion or variety. The grapes had seeds in them. Ewww. But normally the food is great. Read more
