I've been a customer for over 20 years. This is an old- fashioned diner. Prices are great and the food is good. It's a locals' place that has a loyal following. They have a lot of different meals on the menu. The Village Grille is an icon in the city of Lancaster.

Been eating here for years with the family on Sundays really enjoy the food prices are reasonable and great service it says alot when two generations are making it there Sunday stop

Good window specials

For the positives, the prices are good, the menu selection is awesome, the service was kind, and definatly cute decoration to give it that small diner feel. Also the salsa tasted very fresh like home made. Negatives, the food was bland, we ordered several different things so we could try a few things and none of it was great, not terrible but nothing special. The biscuits and gravy sauce is very peppery. Also keep in mind this isn't the best part of town, and a couples relationship drama outburst was very uncomfortable while we ate. We originally thought it would be a place to come back and try more menu items but we won't be back.

Give the Place a Chance, May still look like It stuck in the 60's but the food and prices can be compared to your chain restaurants. Breakfast Served all Day

Food plain. Woman's restroom has a door that a wheelchair cannot enter through. Making it impossible for a handicap person to use.

Today was the first time dining. The wife and I had seen it during a very crowed moment, making it…read morea must try. We were greeted by two young ladies who were very friendly as well as professional. It is a chic restaurant, and the decorating is modern eclectic; pleasing to the eyes and spirit. Very welcoming. I had the crispy chicken sandwich and my wife had the house burger. Each sandwich came with these unique potato wedges. Not sure what they were seasoned with, but they were ridiculously good, as well as addictive. Jimmy, our server, made sure that we wanted for nothing. He was outstanding. As was the entire staff. Highly recommend. We will return. The only issue I had was that one of the Hostess happened to be a Raiders fan. That topic came up when I paid the check with my SAN FRANCISCO 49er debit. All in fun! And that, is another story for another day...

I've been here 3-4 times now, and every single visit has been consistently amazing. That's hard to find! Everything we've tried has been delicious, and I love that they even have mocktail options for my daughter so she can enjoy the experience too. Yes, it is on the pricier side, but in my opinion, it's absolutely worth it. The staff is wonderful, the ambiance is beautiful, and the upscale décor makes the whole experience feel special. I honestly feel like this place is a hidden gem because of its location. I would definitely recommend checking this spot out before Coach's Tavern. Come hungry because the FOOD IS INCREDIBLE.

Got the mixed platter with extra sauce and a Smash Burger with potato wedges. The mix platter was pretty good, yellow rice, flavorful chicken and some lamb. The hot sauce has like a Smokey flavor or something, I'll probably ask for it on the side next time but overall it was good. The burger was bomb, the meat had a bit of crisp on it, and the flavors were perfect. Also got the Superman and it was sweet af, I couldn't do it lol but I can see why people like the fruit punch/lemonade mix. Service was outstanding, everyone was nice and attentive. The guy let me try their secret sauce that was also good. It's a small spot so standing room only, order ahead and pick it up, they get packed during rush.

I was in town for a birthday breakfast and found this little diner…read more Let's start with the positives. The main dishes were delicious! And the best part was the home fries. Definitely order the home fries over hash browns, they are well seasoned crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So delicious don't skip! The garden burger was also so delicious the patty is made of like oats and mushrooms and one more ingredient that I can't remember right now but it was superb! Definitely one of the best veggie burgers I have had! Top 5 for sure. Now the reason they didn't get 5 stars. The side of fruit that I ordered and two other plates on the table came with, wasn't fresh. It looked a day or a few days old. Only the melon was decent enough to eat. Next is more of a suggestion. I understand it's a diner but I feel like all restaurants/diners/cafes should have alternative milks such as oat, soy or almond milk. Because I asked for a cold brew but I had to drink it black due to the lack of alternative milks. Which was fine but I can't be the only person that has that suggestion. Overall Katz n' jammers cafe was a cute diner with 50s nostalgia on the walls and fair prices for good food!

We first visited Lucky Luke about two weeks ago at the Palmdale location for bingo night, and we…read morehad such a fun time! Since it was our first visit, we walked up to the bar and explained that we're not IPA fans and asked if we could sample a few beers. The staff was super friendly and happy to let us try different options. We ended up really liking the Waterfront Lager and ordered micheladas. Their michelada mix is AMAZING. The Palmdale location is drinks only (no food), but the atmosphere and service made for a really fun night. Fast forward to yesterday. My husband and I had a date night and remembered how much we liked the beer, so we decided to check out the Lancaster location since they also serve food. When we walked in, the place was packed and there were only two girls working the entire floor. Even though they were clearly super busy, they were still very friendly and upfront that there would be about a 15-minute wait for a table. We appreciated the honesty, so we waited patiently and eventually got seated. We found out that the Lancaster location doesn't always have the same beers as the Palmdale brewery location, so unfortunately they didn't have the Waterfront Lager we loved. We were a little bummed, but our waitress gladly brought us samples so we could find something else we liked. We ended up ordering a lighter blonde beer since many of the others were too hoppy for our taste. We also tried their handmade mango and pineapple micheladas and WOW! both were so good. The food was delicious too. We ordered the totchos (loaded tator tots), 6-piece hot wings, and the Asian sliders. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. Even though they were slammed busy, the waitresses continued checking on us regularly throughout the night. Overall, it ended up being a really great date night. The ambiance is casual, fun, and welcoming, and both locations gave us excellent service. Lucky Luke is definitely going to become one of our regular date night spots moving forward!

On our way home from a trip, we were looking for a place to stop by and grab some food and because…read morewe had our fur babies with us, choosing a place was limited. We were happy that this place allowed pets in the front patio. They weren't busy and they quickly put two tables together out front and we were seated right away. They also had a water bowl for the doggies. Food is bar food but elevated. They had a variety on the menu but mostly burgers. We got the pretzel to start with and I got the chicken sliders with tater tots. Service was very fast! Pretzel was good, cake with cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was ok. The Korean chicken sliders were amazing, there were 2 but it was more than enough.

Unfortunately, I have to update my review…read more I attempted to celebrate my 19th anniversary at the Lancaster location on 09/11/26. I was sat in Rachel M.'s section. I have had Rachel twice in the past and each time we had bad experiences. Though, I wanted to change servers, it was an hour before closing and noticed there was not a lot of employees present. Rachel has always had an unpleasant attitude while serving us, she appears passive aggressive, our orders come out wrong, we have to ask various times for items such as extra ranch. The first time she served us which was in 2025, she missed my whole entree and blamed it on being new and the restaurant being busy. I canceled the entree. I haven't been here in about 3 months and I noticed a lot of has changed such as the bread, we received a white rolls and they now charge 3% to use a credit/debit card. Every time I asked Rachel a question, she would walk away while answering the question and did not answer the question fully. She appeared as if she was bothered by us. I had a free entree and I told her I wanted to apply it my husband's steak entree. She came back with the bill and she took off my salad. I told her again, I wanted it to be taken off for the steak entree and her response was "the system does it automatically" and walked away without letting my respond. I do not believe this to be true because I am a frequent guest and I know I can use my free entree on whatever I want. Unless this also has changed. Rachel never came back to our table after waiting ten minutes thus we went to the front desk. The girl working the front desk on 09/11/2026 around 9:45pm was very pleasant and helpful. Rachel saw us talking and came up. When the girl told Rachel what I was requesting, Rachel stormed past her and stated, "you need to call Brian for that" and walked away. Brian, who I assume is the manager, arrived to front desk to help me and he made the adjustment. However, he didn't apologize for the inconvenience nor did he ask me how my night/meal was. Our anniversary was only acknowledge by the front desk girl. Rachel never said anything about it. Rachel M. has a very bad attitude. I do not like to believe this is racial but at this time it could be. As I have now had three bad experiences with Rachel M. since 2025 at the Lancaster location. If things do not begin to improve at this location, Lancaster may forced to shut down as Texas Roadhouse is being built across the street. Servers like Rachel M. will make it easier for us loyal customers to transition over. The food quality went downhill. The filet mignon was rough. I ordered a chopped steak cobb salad but nothing was chopped. I got old pieces of bacon ripped in half, a whole boiled egg, and overdone steak on top. I had this same salad over a year ago and it was excellent. Not sure what is going on but it is terrible.
