An onion and garlic allergy can be hard to work around but they made sure she had food!

They had a special for "Irish coffee" being St Patty's Day. Sure why not one of my favorites! I get a regular mug of coffee with Bailey's. For the record Irish coffee is brown sugar, Irish whiskey (preferably Tullamore D.E.W.) and whipped cream. Typically in a footed glass mug. I should have known better I was in Middlebury, IN. We inquired about an appetizer having garlic and onion. We were asked it if was preference or dietary? Does it really matter? But it is dietary for one of our party. After being told it had both we made other choices to split. Well the pretzel bites came with this HEAVY garlic cheese stuff that was the consistency of mashed potatoes. We also ordered poutine (another of our favorites) what came out was curly fries! (yes curly fries) with breaded cheese nuggets (yes breaded) with some brown thin gravy! Our main meal; one wedge salad (that was cut into quarters) with steak. Beautifully cooked beef medallions with zero flavor or seasoning. Nothing, not even S&P. The guest with the garlic/onion dietary request, asked what cheese comes on the nachos. She was told shredded and it's melted. So when her nachos came out it had mashed potato garlic cheese! She asked to have them remade. Which the server kindly did, her reorder came with a little melted cheese (you know when it's over heated and not cheese anymore) with sour cream squirted lines. I had the veggie burger which was actually good! The green goddess dressing is super tasty. Overall the place was nice and clean with super cute wallpaper in the bathroom. The prices with very reasonable. Would I go back, probably not. I wish them all the luck, might not be for us but I am sure they have fans.

The bacon that we absolutely loved the last time was not the same - extremely dry and flavorless. The biscuit is was not biscuit-like at all, but more like a squishy and kind of soggy bread. The biggest disappointment was the $2 upcharge for us splitting a plate. Not many places do this anymore, but the Village Inn does. And if you're going to charge extra, at least split it for the customer (as many places do without even asking!) instead of just throwing an extra plate under the main dish. Everything else was fine. Our server was nice enough but not very personable. Just kinda meh about our entire visit this time.

When that thick cut of ham was placed in front of me, my mouth was watering already. The first bite was juicy and crispy. Grilled just right. Add in a creamy with chunks mashed potatoes.

The chicken and noodles were fine, but we thought the turkey had more flavor. We've debated both times if we should get the buffet, but on neither visit did it have roast beef nor pie. Pie is the main reason for us dining here and our appetites just don't warrant more than one plate of food (especially all those heavy starches) AND pie, so it isn't worth the extra cost for us. Although again, if the buffet included pie, we'd get it. Also...we were told a 10-15 minute wait but waited more than 30.
