I've heard a lot about this restaurant. It came highly recommended by many people. It was fine. I came on the day of a new menu. Unfortunately, not a lot was super exciting to me. An extra scallop was the price of a super expensive, amazing steak house in Scottsdale. I didn't get it. I did get the Caesar salad. It was not very flavorful. The steak was overcooked (medium-well, and I ordered medium-rare). They did replace it, but it took so long, that by the time it was done, my friend was done eating, so I gave it to her to take to her husband, it hotel is not equipped well enough to have it as a leftover in the few days I have here. The foccacia app was filling. I also had a shrimp app that became my meal. The chef came and apologized for the steak. That was nice. read more

Peasant Village Restaurant - Prime sirloin - New American Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

I have eaten at this restaurant about a baker's dozen of times in the past 15 or so years and Chief Jason did not miss this last time. My family (wife and son) and I enjoyed dinner once again. This time I introduced my son to this restaurant. We enjoyed everything; from the drinks at the bar (smoked old fashion and Moscow mule) to the appetizers (pork belly in a honey chili sauce ) main course ( ribeye steak, tenderloin and salmon ) and finally the dessert (strawberry cake parfait ) all were well worth the cost. read more

Loveddddd having dinner here! The chef, Jason told us that the menu changes seasonally which is awesome because that means there's always something new to try. The pork belly appetizer was a huge portion and was very flavorful, Jason was very generous with the sauce as pictured. I got the crab cakes which were soft, flavorful, and very filling.. The mashed potatoes were to die for, I wish I had an entire plate of just that. My honey had the surf and turf which he enjoyed but stated that the steak felt a bit tough. Our desserts were amazing the creme brûlée was the perfect portion and had the perfect amount of sweetness, the tuxedo cake had too much chocolate for me but he enjoyed it very much. Our waitress was kind and helpful when giving suggestions. Jason came out and greeted us and asked how everything was and had a whole convo with us which was unique. We look forward to coming back here and trying other dishes! read more

Truly disappointed that we were seated at the bar area when we had reservations to dine for Valentines night. This is just unacceptable that your establishment would think that anybody would feel comfortable sitting in a bar area with strangers when on a Valentine's Date. We had no view of anything except for a sink of dirty glasses and the bartenders. It has probably been 15 years since I have been here and definitely will not go back after last night. And I will definitely tell all my friends about my experience. Not only that, but you should definitely price down your items on your menu because I definitely did not think my $50 steak was worth any more than $15. read more

I ordered the French Lamb Lollipops--grilled lamb accompanied by minty jelly. While I really liked the minty jelly and think that it really enhanced the flavors, the lamb itself was unfortunately charred a bit too much. I think the burnt flavor prevented it from reaching its full potential. I could tell though that the cut of the lamb was high quality. I'm hoping that next time, it won't be too overcooked, which would make it a much greater meal. The star of the night might have been the duck breast as it was very tender, not overly tough and juicy. The cranberry wasn't too tart, which paired great. For dessert, we ordered a slice of key lime pie that unfortunately wasn't limey or tart enough. read more

Still one of the best places to dine out in the city. The new menu makes it even more inviting than before. You gotta go here if you want to see the best that the city has to offer you for quality and customer service. read more

Oh, How the Mighty Have Fallen :( We come to San Angelo once a year, and one of the highlights of our visit is eating at Peasant Village. We have been there a couple of times, but tonight was a true disappointment ... I do not know what changed since last year, but it was a completely different experience. The menu has changed, and it felt like the quality went down. The pork belly had way too much sauce, and it was overly sweet. You could not taste anything but the sauve. I was looking forward to their parmesan mashed potatoes (or maybe some risotto), but they only had some sort of rice that was simply not up to par. The rice had no flavor, and the texture was all wrong. It was no substitution for the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. They did not have any creme brulee either (they only had bread pudding). Keep in mind that we went on Friday night (prime weekend dinner time), and there were no potatoes or creme brulee!!! The waiter said they "ran out of stuff" the night before and that they were closed on Saturday!! I have been looking forward to that creme brulee for weeks, but no luck here! Peasant Village has properly disappointed me. Time to find a new place :( read more

Our group called for a reservation and I am a vegan so we asked if there were options available. We were told that the chef would come out to the table to discuss a personalized vegan dish. He did not disappoint. The dish was amazing. It was 2 different kinds of mushrooms with roasted tomatoes and it was so flavorful and juicy (i forgot to take a picture ). The rest of the party ordered various dishes and they all came out promptly and they looked so beautiful. The drinks tasted so fresh and looked gorgeous. The espresso martini changed my life. Overall it was a fantastic experience and our server Serena made it that much better. This place is a must visit. read more

Upscale yet casual. Saturday night. It wasn't terribly busy but reservations highly recommended. Awesome venue in a historic cottage across the street from the water lilly gardens. This is likely the best restaurant in San Angelo. The menu is thoughtful. It's not expansive, but there is something for everyone. The food is great. Started with the fried green tomatoes and truffle fries. Both superb. We had the duck, crab cakes, and ribeye for entrees. All were perfectly cooked, well plated, and delicious. Sides are large enough for 3-4 to share. Prices are appropriate and reasonable. Service is friendly but a little frazzled. Not sure why 3 plates come out staggered. A kitchen should be able to serve 3 diners together. We observed several other tables suffered the same fate. Bartender is always behind. Cocktails were well made, slightly overpriced, and really slow to the table. He wouldn't make it in Austin. We had a great time and will be back. Hope to add that 5th star when we do. read more

This will definitely be our dinner date place. Seating is limited giving a cozy ambiance. read more

We were greeted pretty quickly. We were in from out of town and had no idea this was a restaurant where reservations are best. We were glad Mark was able to get us in. Start to finish this was an absolutely divine meal. The drinks, starter, entrees, everything was amazing. I might say the beef in the stroganoff was a little tough, but that's how freshly prepared ribeye goes when you're cooking it in a sauce. But seriously, that secret family recipe sauce was amazing and the bacon wrapped chicken was worth coming back for. Mark was on point start to finish, try to get in his section. My sister and I a glorious time. read more

Highly recommended. Very delicious MAHI, our experience was great, we also order the fried asparagus and they were very delicious. The breading was very crispy. Our only complaint if I'm being nit picking is that our waitress could have been more attentive to our drinks order, she gave me a refill with the wrong beverage. But overall it was a great experience and definitely will be coming back. read more

Peasant Village Restaurant - SEARED ALMOND CRUSTED MAHI! My meal came out to Perfection. Highly recommendation. - New American Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

My husband and I are here for work & being from CA, we have really missed having good date night options like Mastros & Mortons, but Peasant Village is most likely the closest you can get to it in San Angelo. We have gone 4 times now & personally, I'm not sure if it's worth the money to us. My food has always been very fatty & it's just not what I expected. The drinks & desserts are great, so is the service. read more

Their $50 ribeye was terrible. Very thin cut. Over cooked. Ask for medium rare and got medium well on most of it, the very small middle was barely medium if not just over. Poor seasoning. Charred on both sides. Not seared. Poor cut of meat. Would have never guessed it was a ribeye, if it was. Didn't send it back because I didn't want to embarrass anyone. Still might go and talk to someone. The other three in my party enjoyed there meal. They didn't have beef. Two had to reorder because they were out of what they had on the menu. Of which were only 7 or 8 total entrées. Waitress was totally clueless that they were out when we initially ordered. read more

**edited to add: I always respect humility and appreciate people willing to take feedback. We will definitely give it another shot and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to respond We came for dinner with our family and left highly underwhelmed. First, the menu was small. Two appetizers available (fries and quail) - and five main dishes and no choice of sides (you get what the chef decides). It was about 45+ min before food came, drinks were not refilled and we were in this small weird room watching reels on repeat on the tv. The food came for all but one of our party, his food was messed up and came almost 40 minutes after ours (we were all done eating). The food was all doused in salt, I mean like the bottle fell and emptied into it. The sides (rice and three broccolinis) were so salty that we couldn't handle it. The steak had a coating of salt that I had to scrape off. The shrimp dinner was three small pieces of shrimp, lamb was undercooked and chewy. It was honestly just a highly disappointing experience and for the price I just cannot imagine coming back. read more

The place was funky with its house vibe. Bar was a bit small for a solo diner. Ribeye was amazing but the haricots verts were inconsistent, from slightly raw to perfect, at least not overcooked.the staff was great. The Manhattan was ok. read more

In town with business partner. Found this place and new it would be good from reviews and -- mostly -- agree. The quail app was great (why are apps always odd numbers?). We both had the Ribeye which was done correct temp and potatoes and beans were a nice side. My complaint, and the one-star penalty, is one of my pet peeves. The main dish was served literally three minutes after we got our appetizer. This contributes to an overall rushed experience. Like we're a table to be turned instead of having a dinner hosted. I notice another reviewer talking about kitchen timing. I agree. Get that right and this is five stars. read more

I am here in San Angelo for the weekend and several people recommended me to visit Peasant Village and encouraged me to make a reservation before coming and boy, were they right! The restaurant is cozy and inviting. The staff is beyond friendly. Most importantly, the food.... Oh my God the food! Absolutely delicious! From the Smoky Manhattan to the Crawfish Dip to the Filet Mignon and to the Creme Brûlée, everything was seasoned to perfection, cooked on point and in generous portions! Definitely a place to visit if you are in San Angelo! read more

A lovely place to have dinner. Excellent bar service by Larry and some very good options for bourbon or rye whiskey. I had the calamari, Caesar salad and Cajun Angels (shrimp wrapped in bacon). All were quite tasty and cooked properly. They do serve the food at a fast pace. For example, the calamari and salad were served at the same time and then the main course arrived within 5 minutes. I do prefer a few more minutes between courses. The chocolate creme brulee was really good - creamy, chocolate goodness with some sliced berries and fresh whipped cream. Overall, it's a solid A-. read more

Very good! But meat was over seasoned on all three meats the table got. Great service and drinks.

After staying in a hotel on the river, I wanted to find a local place to get a light supper take out. YELP had great reviews so I decided to go for it.

Saturday night dinner review with reservation at 630 : didn't really see the need for reservation but recommended. Calamari- 5/5: never have I seen calamari served this way, but it was amazing and it's a must. Seafood platter - 2.75/5: shrimp and crab cake were amazing but my fish was so over seasoned it was hard to eat Cordon bleu - 3/5: Really amazing flavor but they fry a chicken breast beat paper thin. They then add a thin piece of ham on top of the fried chicken and top it with cheese. Last time I checked cordon bleu was chicken stuffed with ham and cheese ? Cost - 0/5: All in all we had two entrees, one app, and two beers. Cost was $150 before tax.. sheesh. read more

Food was very good, the service was a little choppy, waiter kept forgetting items, but there was plenty of people there so I could understand forgetting stuff sometimes, despite that the waiter was very kind and welcoming, the overall mood of the restaurant was very happy , I loved the Creme brulee. read more

My husband and I ate there for his Birthday. It is always a real treat to go to the Peasant Village. The menu offers excellent choices and is not like anything else anywhere around here. We had the Crispy Calamari Fries for an appetizer, and they were Amazing! My husband ordered the steak and I had the Crab cakes, we shared the Spanish Garlic Mushrooms and Three Cheese Grits, which were all fantastic, as well, and still had plenty of left-overs for a whole other meal, which we enjoyed just as much! Jason always comes around and visits, which makes you feel special, as well as the excellent wait staff that took care of us! We will definitely be back for any special occasion, it is a real treat!! read more

I took the wife for our 20th anniversary and the chef actually serenaded us. fantastic evening and incredible meal.

The rib eye was delicious. The charro beans drifted me off to a campfire somewhere out in the plains.

The restaurant was quiet, super small menu and we received a call 20 minutes prior to our reservation saying they were out of the only steak option. Food was good. Nothing I would call great and service was mediocre. I was disappointed because I had wanted to eat here for awhile. Crab cake was ok, my husband and daughter really liked the shrimp. Salads were good and fresh read more

We had been told by many people that this was the best restaurant in San Angelo, so we gave it a try. Our server barely knew anything about the menu. When we asked about an appetizer, he said it was good and served with some kind of jelly?! He kept forgetting to ring in our drinks. The food was okay. One person at our table ordered the chicken and it was burnt, the seafood platter was definitely not worth the 35.00, but I will say the steak was great. The drinks were delicious as well. I think I'd go back for a few drinks but that about it. read more

I like the older home they made into a restaurant. It's not super fancy, but it is extremely cozy and inviting. It is also quiet enough you can hear the conversation at your table and you can make it more intimate. The food...well the food speaks for itself and is fabulous. read more

Disappointed in this place. Went once, we enjoyed the ambiance and welcoming bartender. But, got food poisoning. Tried coming again, they were closed when it said they were open everywhere online. Tried coming back yet again, but were told tables were for "reservation only." Half of the tables were empty. However, we never seem to have an issue getting tables at Cork & Pig! read more

Peasant Village Restaurant - Old fashioned - New American Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

This is difficult as this is one of the most popular restaurants here. We were expecting top Dallas restaurant quality and what we feel we got was handed down family recipes that although good were not OMG I love this good. The prices met the latter rather than the former. We had a $50 gift card and still spent $110 before tip (total)! We each had an entries and a dessert with sodas. That's it. Serving sizes were Huge. My Beef Bourgogne had noodles beef and mushrooms, that's it. (Isn't that Stroganoff?!) BTW, I'm mildly allergic to mushrooms. Sigh. We ran into an acquaintance as we were leaving. I had the opportunity to speak to him later and their assessment was the same, ot was their 1st visit too. Maybe we just had the rare fluke of a visit but we did not feel we got great value. read more

Overall, I would not recommend. The food was average and portions were small for the price. The staff was unprofessional and lazy. I would be more understanding if this was a small new business trying to get on its feet but based on reviews I've read from a decade or more ago, they continuously choose provide bad service while portraying themselves as "higher-end". I went with a group of 13 military folks. Chef made a big deal about how he is involved in base activities and told us to make sure to ask for a military discount. Waitress told us at the beginning that they were understaffed and to be patient. Drinks and appetizers took a while, which I was understanding of because we had a big group. We waited for a long time after we ordered and the food came out lukewarm. I was underwhelmed when I saw my plate (lamb chops, green beans and rice). The flavor wasn't special either. It was something I easily could have made at home and it was way overpriced. Especially because it was so small. My boyfriend ordered the same thing and found a short, dark brown hair buried in his rice. He has light hair and was sitting next to 3 girls with long hair so we knew it wasn't ours. He let the waitress know and she told the chef. Then she told my boyfriend that he could come back and talk to the chef... so awkward. He went to the kitchen and the chef denied that the hair was his (though he has short, dark brown hair) and asked my boyfriend "what can I do for you". My boyfriend, feeling uncomfortable, asked for a new serving of rice. The few times in my life when I'd found hair in my food, a restaurant staff member came to my table, immediately apologized and did not charge for the food. I don't know why the chef thought it was okay to ask my boyfriend, the customer, to come talk to him in the kitchen. And then deny it, give a very apathetic apology and ask what my boyfriend wants. It almost felt like my boyfriend was a kid being called to the principal's office in school. So weird and unprofessional. The chef clearly has some attitude and a pride issue. Like, I get it... you don't want to come deal with the customer for an issue like this in front of a group, but that's the adult and professional thing to do. After eating, the waitress brought everyone's checks except ours (boyfriend and I were on one check). We all checked and surprise... no military discount. Also, some people noticed that they had been double-charged for drinks. My boyfriend asked about the military discount and she said something like" oh we don't do it at night I think". It made absolutely no sense. And then she said " we took off the appetizers from the bill" implying that was the discount. That's great for those who ordered apps, but for us and others who were expecting a discount, it sucked. The waitress and I assume the chef (since she seemed unsure about everything we asked her) were just making things up as they went. Again, unprofessional. Have a discount or don't. Like I said at the beginning, I would be more understanding if this was a new restaurant trying to figure things out. But this place has been going for over a decade! That is certainly long enough to have this sort of thing established. Then, my boyfriend asked the waitress if she could discount his food because of the hair... she didn't have an answer. After fixing people's checks that she got wrong, she finally came back with ours. Full price and a service charge. Boyfriend asks again about the hair discount and she looks at the new rice that he got and said " I guess the chef gave you the rice" to cover that." Ummm... so he has to pay full price for unsanitary food and he gets a scoop of rice in return? The scoop of rice should've been expected already because he couldn't eat the rice on his plate! I don't know if she was too lazy to even talk to the chef about it or if the Chef genuinely thought replacing the hair rice with new rice was enough. In either case, both are wrong. We did not leave a tip, as the service charge was the cherry on top for things that pissed us off about this place. read more
