Ordered: Country Style Eggs (~$9): home fries grilled together with scrambled eggs and onions; served with biscuit Patty Melt (~$13): 8oz patty, Swiss cheese, sautéed onions on rye bread; with French fries Aya's take: We were on a road trip and decided to stop by Village Cafe for a quick bite. Their menu has what you'd expect from a classic diner, prices are cheap, and service is quick! We got the Country Style Eggs and Patty Melt. Both lacked basic seasonings like salt & pepper. If I was rating off the food alone, I'd give it a 3/5. The home fries in the Country Style Eggs could've been crispier and adding hot sauce definitely saved this a bit. The biscuit we got with it was homemade and so delicious. It was warm, buttery, and satisfying. The Patty Melt was a bit dry and desperately needed a sauce. I used ketchup and asked for pickles which helped. The rye bread was surprisingly not dry and grilled nicely with butter. It was definitely a heavy meal but we needed it after a long drive. It's not the kind of place where you'll have an amazing meal but it'll do the job at a super affordable price. read more

While visiting my daughter at Alfred, we decided to go to village cafe for breakfast. Was seated right away. It's a cute cafe out there. Had the tuna melt and chicken philli sandwich, really great tasting for the price. The service was 10/10 definitely worth it. read more

This was one of our stops on the outside of Hornell. We had heard from a couple folks that the food was excellent. I ended up with a hot turkey sandwich that was out of this world. The staff was super friendly and helpful and attentive. There are definitely a lot of locals in there to grab lunch. But a fair amount of tourist that we're passing by as well. I would highly highly highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area for a quick bite. And definitely check out the daily specials. read more

We won't be back until there's a sign that says under new management, as it seems there was no management at all. Hire someone that thinks on a systems level y'all! That's what real management takes. They were in the weeds when we arrived and I couldn't help but notice the middle row of tables was all 2 tops despite there being room for fours. We should have taken that as a red flag and left, but there's a severe lack of options in the area. Seating took 20 minutes and the food took 40. Just when we were nearly convinced they had dropped the order, our burgers showed up overcooked and poorly assembled. Our friend's omelette arrived luke warm as well. Pretty sad that such a place could practically have a monopoly on diner food in the area. Someone send Chef Ramsay, stat! read more

I stopped here Saturday morning with my wife. The diner is very clean and has ample parking. It was not too busy and quiet inside. The sign said seat yourself so we sat at a table near the window. We were greeted by a friendly waitress and had hot coffee delivered promptly. My wife ordered the potato pancakes that were made with real potato (not mix). I ordered the country style eggs. The food was delicious and perfect amount. The prices are very reasonable. Very enjoyable breakfast. read more

Yes I highly recommend this place. Their food is great and the service is fast! They close early most days and stay open for dinner, I believe, on Fridays. Also their prices are very reasonable for the amount of food that is presented. read more

Egg-cited to start the day sunny side up! Today's breakfast choice brought us to The Village Cafe in Arkport, NY. It's a quiet town in upstate New York, with a hustling and bustling restaurant that provides excellent service and delicious hearty food for both the locals and the tired travelers that pass through. Their breakfast menu consisted of items that you can find most anywhere, such as: Pancakes, Omelettes, Eggs Benedict, Oat Meal & Cereals, as-well-as Sausage Gravy over Biscuits. Today we ordered the Country Fried Steak, Corned beef Hash, and the Country Classic. I loved the country fried steak. Sometimes the steak is overcooked, or over-battered, or seasoned way too salty. The cooks at the Village Cafe definitely knew what they were doing... and my eggs were cooked to the perfect sunny-side consistency. The corned beef hash was tasty and cooked to my liking, but it definitely not made from scratch. Finally the country classic which was Scrambled eggs, mixed together with onions and home fries, and served with Toast - while it looked good, it had to be returned due to a mix up in the order. I will say that even through the order was messed up (multiple times), the waitresses were super kind and apologetic; and even offered to take care of the bill which was above an beyond in my book. I decently suggest that if you're in the area or just passing through, stop in and enjoy the food from the Village Cafe. Yum! The Village Cafe 7937 State Route 36, Arkport, NY 14807 read more

Such a nice little restaurant. The place is very clean and nicely decorated. It's much bigger on the inside than it looks like on the outside, so don't let a full parking lot scare you. I had the eggs Benedict with home fries. The eggs Benedict was really good. Eggs were perfect and the sauce was nicely flavored. The home fries were not the best. They needed to be seasoned better and were under cooked. I'll give them a pass on those. Server was on top of everything and very friendly. I am eager to try them for lunch and dinner. read more

We've driven by many times at night in route to visit our sons at their colleges. We decided today was the day to try it out, since it was open. We walked in and we greeted and told to sit wherever we wanted. I like that because We sat where we felt comfortable. Someone came over and took our drink order. Those came out quickly and then someone took our food order. We got the Turkey club, a bacon cheeseburger and the Reuben. We practically inhaled our food. It was better than we expected. Yes, a basic order, but very good and we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was very clean. Service was attentive and friendly, food was good and priced as expected. We will totally go back again. read more

Good food. Good service. Fair prices. Homey ambiance. Service with a smile. Good selection.

My wife and I stopped in for breakfast following a Dr. Appt. Neither of us had ever been here before but have heard nothing but good things. This place is a true treasure to the neighborhood. The wait staff is very friendly and make you feel like an old friend as soon as you walk in. We were seated quickly and our coffee and juice was brought out very fast. Our order was taken and brought out in a reasonable amount of time. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. Totally 5 stars. Can't wait to return. read more

Service and ambience is great. Food is suspect. Had macaroni in my home fries. Best case scenario is they used the same spoon and not the same cheese. Yuk. read more

Village Cafe - Any way that macaroni ended up here covered in the same cheese as my home fries is not good. - Diners Near Me - Arkport, New York

Service is top notch. They treat you like family. Food is always delicious and not expensive. Nice hometown dinner with great atmosphere.

We drive from Rochester to experience this great diner!! So welcoming and just awesome, good food!! I usually get a patty melt that's more of a burger than "patty" (I'm not complaining!). My husband loves the pie and anything else they might be serving. Really, he's eaten almost everything. My father meets us from Wellsville and he'll get breakfast (all day). Just a note: Saturday and Sunday they are only open until 2 so get there early! read more

Breakfast was yummy, even though the restaurant was filled to the brim we got the last 2 seats, the staff hustled and always wore a smile. Highly recommend Buds Spuds. read more

Good food, good staff, nice environment. We eat here frequently and I have never had a bad meal.

We were out roaming the countryside and decided to stop in for a quick bite but turned into a dinner. I had the fish fry which I have to say was very delicious. Living in the town I do, hard to find a decent fish fry anymore, guess we will just have to return to get a good fish fry. Tho I have to say probably most of the food there is probably delicious. The wait staff was very accommodating and pleasant. Cafe was clean and welcoming. Will I come back to the Village Cafe, sure will.. read more

Love the food and service here! Great crew all around. I come here almost every day with my mom.

Yummy, small-town diner we found on the side of the road in Arkport NY! For $17 we had a triple decker turkey club with homemade Mac salad (delish!), an egg and olive sandwich with what we call "bucket slaw," and a cup of beef and barley soup. The highlight for me was the beef and barley-- the house soup, it was chunky, savory goodness. The sandwich portions were plentiful. We weren't expecting much from this little place, but they provided a perfectly good, satisfying lunch for cheap while we were on the road. Nice, clean bathrooms too! Definitely worth the stop if you're hungry. read more

We were looking forward to trying out this place since we read nothing but good things about this diner. We love Brian's USA Diner in Mt. Morris, and John & Sarah's in Perry, were hoping for the same great food and friendly experience. Unfortunately it didn't happen. Instead of service with a smile, we got a rude young waitress. Dessert came out first, while we had to remind her of our soup orders after everything else was already out. The soup was OK, other than big pieces of hard, inedible bay leaves in it. The salad had iceberg lettuce and onion in it with store dressing, very forgettable. The sandwich we ordered was bland, was supposed to come toasted and with dressing, was lacking both. The wrap we ordered was also watery and flavorless. We left disappointed. read more

Amazing food and amazing service. Highly recommend eating here! It's always packed and there's a good reason for that.

It's a diner, it's a cafe, the food seems to be mostly homemade and good. Service was fast and attentive. We stopped on a Friday afternoon after 1 p.m. and they were fairly busy. They had a specials board and we ordered the seafood bisque and the fish sandwich's from the board. Portions were good and the soup and sandwich were yummy. We would definitely go back again. The owner or someone I assumed was the owner wished us a nice day on our way out. read more

Food not cooked to your liking and no one checks on you to see how everything is/was. The prices were good. One n done!

I eagerly awaited the reopening of the Village Cafe, but unfortunately I won't be returning. The waitresses don't wear masks over their mouths and nose. The younger one was wearing under her chin. My health is apparently not a priority at the Village Cafe. I understand we are in a difficult time with Covid 19, but the simplest act of properly wearing a mask can't be followed, I'm sure they are cutting corners with other safety measures too. read more

And my guy got the turkey melt which consisted of turkey American cheese bacon and thousand island sauce on rye he enjoyed his too! Both came with a dill pickle and a choice of one side.
