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.

Service - eleventy billion stars. Highly engaging and funny. Star of the show. The vibe in here…read morecannot be denied. It's a really fun space and a great place to come with friends. Carbonnade - delish. Would 100% order this again, and possibly in the bread bowl next time! I love that you can just order a cup tho, to see if you enjoy it first. I love places that give you portion choices. Belgian Onion soup - oddly boring with oddly boring bread that tasted too much like the gas it was grilled with. The onion soup sadly didn't have a whole lot of flavor on its own. It needed a lot more salt. And the bread that was topped with on top of it had the flavor of the gas from the grill that they grilled it. And it's soaked up a lot of the soup because the bread itself is pretty spongy for a French bread. I appreciate that there you are making it in-house though. Overall, maybe not as good as a traditional French onion soup. Could have used a lot more flavor of its own. Endive salad - great, if you like blue cheese! This and the Carbonnade were the standout dishes for me. I wolfed this down. This also comes in a small or large size, which meant we got to try more menu items without ending up with too many leftovers! Frikandelle - ok no. Idk man. A miss on almost all levels for me. Cheese sauce was nice! Burger was...dry. slaw was...pickley. There was...too much bread? This was also somewhat dry, unfortunately. This dish sounded great on paper to me, but it and I were just not a match in the end. Hot chicken & waffle - The chicken is very crispy and the breading tastes really good. The maple syrup is very light and the whole syrup and hot bit tastes like a mapley sauce which is pretty nice. The slaw on it with kale is pretty good. Not overpowering, sweet or saucy. It has kale in it which is interesting. The pickles are nice. There's kind of like a sweet bread and butter pickle and are really good, but I think I prefer them off of the sandwich. The waffle itself is pretty weak and wet and not very crispy. If they worked on the waffle, this could be a pretty stellar dish. It was our server's top recommendation! Sunday night 7 pm, busy but only a 5 min wait. Everyone who helped us, from hostess to bill, was outstandingly kind and very personable. These are passionate, knowledgable people who seem to be having a lot of fun. It's infectious! Even though we didn't enjoy some of the things we ordered as much as we wanted to, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would look forward to coming back here in the future, even just for drinks and hanging out, in the future!

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.

A few salad choices - including a very healthy root vegetable salad. The wild caught halibut is excellent. A few types of fish and also a chicken and beef choice. There's pasta as well.

We are guessing this massive group of people FLOODED this place. Almost every table was dirty. I'm guessing every glass in the restaurant had been used too. The pile of glasses that needed to be washed was giving the former bartender in me anxiety. We sat at the bar and the the chairs were open, but but the bar in front of them was dirty. When we sat down we asked the person behind the bar if we were ok to sit and she didn't not make eye contact but said it was fine. She gave us waters but set the glasses down real hard, maybe she didn't realize how heavy they were? It was basically like slamming them down in front of us. Thankfully, she was not actually waiting on us or we might have changed our minds and left. The woman that DID wait on us was really nice. We didn't get her name unfortunately. She did us she used to work at a dive bar before coming to Hanson Hill. We ordered our food and drinks at the same time when we were finally asked for our order. For cocktails we had a Local Celebrity and Highway 31. Both were delicious! It did take 20+ minutes to get them. Our food arrived shortly after - a French Dip with fries for him and a CBR Wrap with chips for me. He really enjoyed the dip. Next time without the horseradish sauce if either of us was to get it again. I enjoyed the wrap! I liked that they grilled the wrap. Overall, it was fine. I think we would try it again. We are thinking the whole crew was just spent from having their asses handed to them shortly before we got there.

I see why this is always the spot people recommend…read more.. I went to Butcher's Union for my birthday this year and it was nothing short of AMAZING. We were able to make a reservation online easily and were seated almost immediately. The table was near the open door and it was such a lovely lovely fall night. They also decorated a sweet little postcard saying Happy Birthday to me! I thought it was a very cute personal touch. All staff that we interacted with were delightful We started with some cocktails: I got a Daisy Du and my wife got an Amelia. They were both so delicious! Later I also got a strawberry granita and it was YUM. I am not normally someone who orders cocktails because they are too expensive for my taste and I am generally content without any alcohol, but I wanted something special for my birthday. For apps we got a half dozen oysters and crab and artichoke dip. Both was amazing and we ate all of it. The jalapeno mignonette was INCREDIBLE and such a delicious addition to a standard mignonette. The crab in the dip was real crab and the bread it came with was the perfect balance of sturdy and crispy but soft and easy to eat. We ordered the 14oz Ribeye (rare) and 8oz Waygu Sirloin (medium rare) as our apps. The steaks were cooked perfectly and all the sides/sauces were so delicious. Truly cannot speak highly enough of how delicious these steaks were, like so good y'all. I have been to many steakhouses and have had steaks that weren't as good, but cost more than what we had at BU. I had thought I would get a complimentary dessert because it was my birthday (like it was my ACTUAL birthday), but we didn't get one. We were so full I didn't follow up to ask and it wasn't a big deal. I might have been incorrect in my assumption, but saw it in other people's reviews.

The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was kind and welcoming. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a wagyu sirloin that had a red wine reduction, crispy onions, potato gratin and garlic green beans. We also ordered two kids trays which were priced very fair at $9 for the options and amount of food received. Our kids had the fried chicken tenders, grilled steak and picked sides of fries, mashed potatoes and fruit. The kids trays also came with drinks. Since this was a birthday celebration or server did make it special by brining a sweet treat and candle and even discounted my meal! Some things to think about when planning a visit: The restaurant is very loud. Make a reservation! It is popular. Plan parking! The area is full of great restaurants so parking is tough. Paid parking areas are available but limited.
