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.

Yummy! Yummy! The Unicorn Tavern delivers on all fronts: creatively cozy, delicious food, and…read morewelcoming staff. I love how this area is decorated with old doors dividing the booths. The indoor/ outdoor space blends together in the warmer months with cool hangout spaces and game areas. This place is truly a work of art. Drink lists abound, but because it was lunchtime we stuck to food. We were not disappointed. Everything was well conceived and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bone bread next time, stew and scrumptious sounding salads. Today we had the kids smash burger, Brussels burger with frites and fried haddock and frites with a delicious coleslaw. The best part? Different sauces to choose to dip the fries in. The curry ketchup was the best (special shout out for *actually* cooking the curry into the ketchup) as it did not taste of raw curry. They definitely don't cut corners here. We noticed, and we appreciated it. We will be back.

Yes, they have a small parking lot, and don't fret if you have the park on the street like we did, as we were seating promptly and it didn't feel too crowded. Since we were seated at high tops near the bar, the bar tender was our waitress, and she is literally the nicest, good energy, engaging human ever! She also whips up the custom, creative mimosa recipes, kudos to her for her awesomeness! I ordered the Shakshuka, flavorful, delicious, would order again. Even as a non-vegan, it was satisfying and would recommend to everyone. Husband had the 1964 Worlds Fair Waffle, and it was tiny. Not what you envision when you think of Belgian waffles. He also ordered the Belgian Forest Bacon, again VERY small portion, so much so that at the end of the meal, he had to order a side of the Smashed Maple Sausage. Both our drinks (I had the mimosa) were fantastic and worth ordering, loved the glassware! Aside from the small portions of waffle, bacon, and sausage, the cheerful vibes here are contagious, and I'd dine here again in a heartbeat!

Great food. Great service! Great recipes! Great ambiance!…read more Last week was our first time dining at Village Baker. The food was DELICIOUS! We started with the Shrimp and Scallop Croquettes. Loved them! I ordered a cup of the Feijoada soup. It was very flavorful. However, it was too spicy for me. My entrée was the Turkey & Bacon Bruschetta. It was delicious. It appeared that everything is homemade at this lovely restaurant! (The bread, muffins, pizzas, soups, and desserts! Ya gotta love that!) If you're ever in Spring Lake, MI, stop in for a meal! You won't be disappointed!

We arrived mid-late afternoon and the restaurant was not busy but by the time our food arrived, Village Baker was pretty busy. The menu is huge but the blackened grouper sandwich was what my wife and I both chose. I was surprised how good it was because every February almost my entire diet is fresh grouper or mahi mahi. The dish here was definitely a worthy contender. Our friends ordered a Rueben and the Baker's Wife Pizza. Everything look so good. Since there were many items I'd like to try, we definitely need to come back. Service-Excellent. On our way our, we stopped at the attached bakery. Lots of really great looking baked items including scones, lemon bars, macaroons, tarts, cinnamon rolls, etc. So glad we discovered Village Baker.

We ordered cocktails, he had the smoked old fashioned. He said it was the best one he'd had in a long time. I had the blueberry lavender Collins it was quite refreshing. To eat we had the Baked Feta to start. It was interesting, it was cubed instead of whipped or somehow smoother. A little hard to explain. The halved cherry tomatoes and cloves of roasted garlic made it for me. The feta was warm, but it didn't really spread. Adding the tomatoes completely changed the overall flavor. They were a little sweet and paired nicely with the sharp tang of the feta. We also split the Dune sandwich. Big fans! The turkey was warm, the focaccia was light and fluffy. Served with a pile of kettle chips. The music was a man and his guitar. A one man show of sorts, he was great. We had a great experience and we will go again, for sure. We want to try the flatbread next time!

We ordered a couple sandwiches and flatbreads from here to go yesterday. Seemed to be light on the meat (i.e. not much turkey or chicken respectively) and too heavy on the sauce (mayo, mustard, etc.) so much that the sandwiches were dripping sauce. Looks like they have a nice backyard bar with music, but if you're looking for sandwiches - I'd pass.
