    Southwest Breakfast burrito served with sour cream and salsa on the side
    Adrienne R.

    Village Inn was one of our favorite places for breakfast/brunch under the previous owners and were really excited they opened again! While they are under new owners, it is still very similar to the "original". The menu is smaller, more expensive and had some interesting additions. I had the Southwest Hasbrowns made with taco meat and they were delicious. I added 2 over easy eggs to make it more breakfast-y. Jeff had Southwest burrito and it was also really good! I do miss the liquor license and having a delicious Bloody Mary at brunch. Like almost every other restaurant in the area, they were definitely lacking staff. The tables around us were REAL mad about how long their food was taking - one couple walked out before the food was delivered. There were 2 people working the whole dining room, and they were doing every thing they could. This has been a recurring theme in the area. If you have been to a restaurant in the past couple of months, you have experienced this first hand. We'll go back, but not real soon.

    I decided to go to VI for the breakfast special. It's getting pretty difficult to find an inexpensive place to go for breakfast. It wasn't that long ago, before covid, that I could afford to go out and get breakfast everyday before work. Those days are behind me. Even McD's is like $8 for a fast food breakfast. I got the special at Village Inn, they have a few of them on the dry-erase board. I'm assuming they update them daily or every so often. The servers will not tell you about them and they are not on the menu, so you have to read the board before you order. I got a basic 2 eggs, bacon and toast, with coffee. A little more than $8 plus tip. So you can't complain considering this is a sit down restaurant and not a QSR. Service could of been a bit better as she seemed to hang out in the front dining room most of the time. If you haven't been here, give it a try.

    Perch& fries +slaw (extra $2).
 Total about $12.

    This is the only diner in town. There are other places to eat, but this is your best bet for sit-down family meals. Prices are good. They have a $5 early bird breakfast special. I was there on a Friday, so I got the perch dinner. 2 pieces of fish, plus fries. I added cole slaw ($2). Fries were mediocre, but everything else was okay. Only two waitresses in a crowded lunch time restaurant that included two tables of old people. Usually that slows the place down, but not the day I was there. Service was friendly and prompt. Yes, I will be back again.

    Met up with a friend for brunch at Morning Star recently. It was my first time visiting and I was…read moreexcited since breakfast/brunch is my favorite meal to order out! There was a bit of a wait but they have a little area to sit and browse the menu. The place is cozy and homey, a bit crowded but not too bad. Our server was really helpful and kind. I ordered a coffee, and they have alcoholic options if you'd like a bloody mary, spiked coffee, mimosa, etc. I liked that they brought me my own little carafe for the table. We ordered a blueberry pancake for the table, and I got the tree hugger (zucchini, yellow squash, tomato, mushroom, baby spinach, black beans, and cheese, served over diced redskin potatoes. I also added eggs. The pancake was fluffy and sweet, and very large which was great for us to split. I really wanted some vegetables so I was very happy with the tree hugger. It was cheesy and warm, and all the veggies were delicious. I added some hot sauce which made it perfect! My friend got the breakfast burrito which looked really good. I'm glad I got to try this spot and would come back! They do have a lunch menu during the week as well (it said lunch items are limited on weekends).

    This is a local favorite. But if you're not local, let me give you a review…read more I have mixed feelings about this place. First off let me point out that there is no private parking lot for this place. This is no big deal if you're from a bigger city like GR, Chi or NYC. But if you're from a smaller town like Muskegon, Coopersville or Fremont where every business has their own private lot this might be a major inconvenience to you. park across the street or on the street if you can find a spot. I was patronizing MSC on a very cold day. This old location has no air lock on the front door, so everytime it opens to let customers exit or enter....the cold air rushes in. Keep that in mind when choosing your table. The restaurant has a warehouse feel to it, similar to the Blue Porch on Beacon Blvd. If you like that style....great. If not you have to deal with acoustics, and a cold drafty feeling, especially in the Winter. Food was actually in line with other restaurants in town unless you want to start getting fancy with the "specials." Believe me, those specials are very popular. Especially the waffle/pancake dishes that are similar to a super sweet dessert at 2000 calories. The last time I was there, the server was friendly, but because of the layout of the dining room, they have a hard time keeping an eye on the tables. So getting a coffee refill or a request for something becomes a waiting game. Overall the food is presented very well and is tasty.

Our waitress was super kind and attentive, which honestly carried a lot of the experience. And I have to start with the highlight - the chai pistachio latte. Phenomenal. Perfect balance of bitter and sweet, the pistachio flavor hit, and easily my favorite part of the meal (also just aesthetic). Food-wise, it was a mix. I got the Gouda Breakfast Burger and I loved it - juicy, cheesy, stacked, and exactly what I needed (pregnant me was very happy ). I'd honestly come back just for that. My boyfriend got the Kickin Chicken Benedict, and while the jalapeño hollandaise had a really nice kick, the poached eggs were more "gel" than runny... which is a little disappointing for a brunch spot since that's kind of the main event. Other than that, my boyfriend said it was alright. We also did ask for extra crispy hashbrowns and... they definitely did not understand the assignment. More soft than crispy, which was a letdown too. We also tried the Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast - good, but not super memorable. For two people, our total was over $80 (three entrees, two lattes, a coffee, and an orange juice), which felt a little high for the overall experience - but not unreasonable if everything hit a bit stronger. Overall, this place has some strong highlights (drinks, burger, and service), just needs a little more consistency across the board to really stand out.

Jackson waited on us and a young lady joined in to make sure we were happy and didn't need anything. We both had the "Papa" which was: 3 eggs, sausage patties (3, links also an option) and 3 of their Fabulous pancakes. My friend added blueberries and I stayed classic. They were large, fluffy on the inside and crispy edges which made them so good. Nice 'scoop' of fresh, whipped butter and maple syrup. I Highly recommend you try this local business that's defining the classic diner with style. The place was clean and neat, looking freshly painted.
