Village Grill is fantastic! Great food, and super friendly service. Everything was fresh and delicious definitely 5 stars. Highly recommend!

Village Grill is one of our go-to family-friendly spots. We went with our 3-year-old, and she loved the French toast and bacon. It's always nice finding a place where kids actually enjoy the food. They also have some vegetarian/vegan options, and they're usually happy to customize dishes, which I really appreciate. The service is always great, everyone is friendly, and the place feels very kid-friendly and comfortable. Definitely a solid spot for a casual family meal. read more

A Sunday morning at Village Grill turned out to be exactly the kind of start to the day you hope for. Even with a table of eight, the wait wasn't bad at all--surprisingly! Breakfast is where Village Grill really shines. The plates come out warm, hearty, and comforting, with that classic, no‑nonsense flavor that makes the first meal of the day feel special. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you want to linger a little longer, catch up, and enjoy the morning. As good as the food is, the Michelada is the real showstopper if you're looking for a breakfast drink. It's bold, refreshing, and perfectly balanced--easily one of the best reasons to stop in early. It adds a fun, flavorful kick to the whole experience and pairs beautifully with the breakfast menu. I did try the menudo for breakfast, and it just didn't have the same flavor or appeal as others. It wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out the way their breakfast dishes do. Village Grill's strengths are clearly in their morning offerings, and that's where the quality and flavor really come through. Stick with breakfast--especially when you're meeting friends--and you're in for a great time. Between the smooth Sunday wait, the standout dishes, and that unforgettable Michelada, Village Grill makes starting the day feel easy and enjoyable. read more

Village Grill - Monthly specials - American Near Me - San Jose, California

(Evergreen village square,SJ)Food: Super Benedict with home potatoes (9.3/10) bread/bacon cooked well. Egg just melts on the dish when cut. Nice crisp on the surrounding layer of the potatoes Crab cakes with hash browns (9/10)- crake was flavorful. Not too crispy. Very delicious when you cut the egg with the crab cake soaking in the flavor. Higher quality cooked hash browns Chicken and waffles(9/10)- chicken is nice and crispy without it being too greasy/oily. Waffle is also delicious but not too out of the ordinary. It did went well with the syrup Strawberry milkshake (9.3/10)- very delicious and creamy. Can really taste the strawberry. I do appreciate that they give you the extra milkshake on another container instead of throwing it. Ambience: very family oriented restaurant. Has aesthetically pleasing chandelier, paintings, television, and vibrant yellow background Service: great service, staff were attentive, checking on all the customers. Food was delivered quickly without compromising quality. They were kind/fast when we needed something Price: Great price for the quality of food, service, ambiance Parking: side parking street and large parking lot behind the restaurant read more

This is a mom & pop local restaurant. The staff is extremely friendly and make you feel welcome. Bonus is that the food is delicious! I get here when they open at 8am and go straight to my favorite seat at the counter. As the staff goes by, they stop to chat for a minute. As I dine by myself, I am not alone surrounded by friends. Great way to start the day! read more

Still a top brunch place of mine because of the hash brown Benedict. Sometimes can get TOO busy here. Took a while to sit down, order, and pay the bill because the servers are busy doing other things. No one came around to check on us or fill waters, until I had to flag staff down multiple times. Lots of tables but can be too crowded, almost right next to the next table to your sides. read more

Village Grill in Evergreen is one of our favorite neighborhood brunch spot. This place is cozy with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking is available. The menu is huge! Plenty of brunch and lunch choices are there. Few of our favorites are their delicious omelette options, breakfast tostadas, Mexican salad, waffles, and mini sliders. Their portions are huge, the staff super friendly. Don't forget to order their fancy and supersized Mimosa! read more

Great food! This is my family's go-to brunch spot. Their benedicts are yummy. Love their mimosas. The grilled bacon turkey melt is so good!

Village Grill is in a great location, in the Evergreen Village square. There's plenty of free parking with two big lots a short walk away. It's noisy inside, and since it was a beautiful December day, we sat outside. They have very tall, heavy curtains between the outside tables and the street, which cut down on street noise and the the cold breeze, so we were comfortable there for lunch, although cushions on the cold metal chairs would've been nice. They have a great menu with breakfast/brunch available all day, plus lots of salads, sandwiches, and other options. It's the kind of place where there were multiple meals I knew I'd enjoy. I settled on the shrimp quesadilla which came with black bean chili. It arrived quickly and the quesadilla was excellent. Nice and crispy on the outside, stuffed with bay shrimp, sliced avocado and cheese. I'd definitely order that again. The black bean chili was plain and cold, but a good idea. The staff was friendly and even though it was very busy, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. This place was a great find! read more

Went here on a Sunday morning with a group of six people and got seated within ten minutes. Parking can be difficult to find, but there is a parking lot behind the building. I ordered a fresh orange juice, which is always a plus when a place has this, but it did taste a little watered down. There is only one bathroom for a restaurant like this, which was a big let down since there was many people waiting to use the restroom. Our Benedicts were good and the eggs were poached just right. We asked a waiter for a cup of fruit and she never bothered to bring it. read more

Dates: Wednesday, August 10th, 2022 - Brunch / Breakfast / Lunch Thursday, June 1st, 2023 - Breakfast Thursday, June 8th, 2023 - Breakfast Thursday, November 9th, 2023 - Breakfast *Crab Cake with Hollandaise Sauce: sub Fresh Fruit *Side Garden Salad *Joe's Scramble: Onions, spinach, ground beef and mushrooms, sub Fresh Fruit When stating in SJ, the bro in law will get breakfast before golfing. He's a sweetheart and always asks me if I want anything when he grabs food. He will go to Village Grill from time to time, so I've tried a couple thing from here. The above orders are from Aug 2022 and June 2023. When it comes to scrambles, Joe's is one of my favs. I adore mushrooms and spinach. This version had a good amount of beef and veggies. But it wish they had cooked the eggs a bit more first before adding all the ingredients. It ended up coating the everything instead, so I didn't really get any pieces of fluffy egg. The fruit salad and green salad were standard and tasty. I can't recall the crab cake dish, but judging from the pic, it was probably okay. Good place to grab breakfast in Evergreen.

Went here for breakfast. The server showed us to our table and asked us if we need coffee. When I get the coffee, I notice a lipstick mark on the cup. I asked them to replace it and they did, along with an apology. However, I do see a couple other reviews mention similar occurrences before. So not sure why they are not being more cautious with the quality check. The food arrives. I got the Chicken apple sausage with eggs and hash brown. Wife gets the veggie omelette. She noticed the mushrooms in the omelette were almost raw. Overall the experience here was subpar. Came here because I wanted to give the local restaurant a shot. read more

This is one of my favorite local breakfast places. The food here is consistently good and I've never had anything here that I don't like. I especially always enjoy their home potatoes which are seasoned to perfection and have a very unique flavor to them that you just don't get at most breakfast places. The service is always usually good, even if it's busy. There's a nice little patio if you prefer to sit outside. Inside is cozy and Mediterranean themed with a bar if you come alone. Definitely recommend this place for a breakfast or brunch outing. read more

Grew up around the area and this place used to be my go to spot for their steak fries! I haven't had it in like years and decided to stop by to try it again. I'm not too sure if they changed up the recipe, but it taste very plain and dry now compared to when I was younger. I came here with my girlfriend and we decided to try other items such as their chorizo omelette and their "build your own burrito". Chorizo omelette (4/5): This meal was pretty solid, with great flavor and ton of seasoning to the omelette. I ordered this dish with country side potatoes and sourdough bread. My only feed back is that they put a heavy load amount of cheese, which some people might love but I personally would have preferred a bit less. The potatoes were super delicious with a combination of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Build your own burrito (3.5/5) This was a pick 3 option and we chose mushroom, steak and bacon! We were glad that their didn't overload our burrito with just egg and gave us a perfect balance of the items we chose. What caught us by surprise is that the burrito was a bit pricey for just a pick 3 ranging from at least $18. We were really shocked when we had to pay additional for some cheese for an add on. Great flavor, just a bit too pricey for us. Service was okay, it seemed like our host has only been working there for a little bit since he tried seating us but had to immediately give up our table for a bigger party on his behalf. Our server however was super attentive and nice making sure we were well taken care of! Overall, a really great place to go for some breakfast food with some family and friends. I would be back to try other food items when I'm around the area again! read more

I ate here for the first time today and enjoyed the experience. The food was tasty, ambiance was comfortable and service was friendly.

No host/hostess to help seat you. A lady who ordered to-go said it's really slow service that she's been coming here for years but the staff changed but recommended the food. She stated that the burgers were great. Environment: cute patio area, darker inside with vintage steel chandeliers and dark wooden chairs and tables. Waited 10 minutes to be seated (1 star off) They helped the folks who came after me first. Table kinda sticky. Staff is not so friendly they're kind of in a rush rush type of vibe. Ordered guava mule and eggs Benedict. Server came behind me to serve my drink and food. Asked for napkins 1:49 from girl with glasses never came back (2nd star off). So I asked someone else and he gave me a few right away. Food was delicious the guava mule seemed warm like. Was never checked on. But it was awesome to get my water cup filled right away. Waiter was friendly towards the end and offered another drink. Although I wasn't greeted coming in , they were nice and said thank you for coming as I left. Maybe I'll give this place another chance. read more

Went there today and was planning on getting some breakfast for lunch. We got seated and waited for someone to take our order. After about 25 mins or so we left because two groups that came in after us got served first. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the other groups were white people. Newho, we ended up going to Papas and Eggs nearby. Got our order and food in a timely matter too! I think we just found our new breakfast food spot. #silverlining read more

Our go to brunch spot in San Jose. Service is always friendly and food is always good. Only spot I have found to have one of the best Swedish crepes. Their chorizo omelette is packed with flavor. You also can't go wrong with their bloody Mary's. If they have menudo it's also worth a try! read more

I really enjoying my breakfast. I came back with mom who is a tough critic and she really like the taste of the menudo.

I really wanted to love the food here since the staff were so incredibly hospitable and friendly! My friends and I came here for brunch on a Sunday and there was ample seating. I got a california benedict that was a little salty. I think its due to the base not being an english muffin, I think it was a flat potato/ tater tot base? The cocktail we got was a bit too sweet and diluted which could be because of the large glass size read more

Village grill located in Evergreen area is San Jose is tucked away in a beautiful little shopping square. The staff were very friendly and greeted me with smiles. I ordered the chipotle shrimp tacos with a side of onion rings. First off the onion rings were cooked to perfection, not too oily and a good crisp just delicious. The shrimp tacos had fresh cabbage the shell was just crispy enough to hold yet not too hard, it had plenty of shrimp I wasn't disappointed and the chipotle sauce was just enough kick after the flavor to make it something I will order again. read more

Stopped by Evergreen Village for brunch with some fellow mothers. We had a bit of trouble getting a table, even though the restaurant was mostly empty, because we had four strollers. Eventually, we were able to get a table large enough to accommodate us. We ordered a variety of dishes: chicken and waffles, a veggie benedict, an omelette, and pancakes. The food was actually really good, which we all enjoyed. However, the service left something to be desired. There was only one waiter handling what looked like six tables, so it wasn't an impossible workload, but my order was still wrong twice. The most concerning mistake was getting regular milk instead of soy milk, which could have been a serious issue for someone with an allergy. Thankfully, I didn't have a reaction. Despite the service not being up to par, I will definitely come back here because the food was worth it. I hope the service improves next time! read more

Amazing breakfast spot in Evergreen Village Square with so many options to choose from! I came in on a Saturday morning with a group of 11 and waited around 40 minutes. Keep in mind that on the weekends, it gets pretty busy and they don't allow strollers inside during weekends! The service was great--the workers were very polite and patient when it came to us choosing what to order. They always refilled our waters without us asking which was really nice to see! The ambiance inside was casual, except I didn't really pay too much attention to my surroundings since I was really hungry! I decided to order their Rasp n' Cream crepes for around $14. It was really good, however, after 2 crepes I couldn't finish the last one! It was pretty filling in my opinion for breakfast and it satisfied my sweet tooth. The almonds added a nice crunch to it! I'd come back here again! read more

I don't go out for brunch often but I've always wanted to try the Village Grill in Evergreen village. It's located next to the Evergreen Coffee which is also convenient if you're on the run for a cup of coffee with your breakfast. Upon arriving at around 11 AM on a Tuesday, we were seated right away as it wasn't busy at this time. We're able to scan a QR code to take a look at the menu before ordering. We ordered: Sausage and egg scramble with side of hash brown and english muffin: 4/5 The egg scramble was pretty delicious, however, it was on the greasy side. The hash brown was really delicious and perfectly crispy! It was also in-tact which was easier to eat. The muffin also comes with a side of packed butter and jam for you to enjoy. Avocado, bacon and cheese benedict: 4.6/5 Probably one of the best benedicts I've tried. The hollandaise sauce was delicious with every component of the dish. I would recommend this! Overall, I'd definitely come back again to try their many other dishes! read more

First time here on a Saturday morning at 10am. Not too busy and a quiet environment. Thankfully we were able to find parking right away. As soon as we came in, we got seated right away. The hostess gave us 2 iced waters and our menus. Our waitress was very friendly and took our order once we were ready. She read our order out loud to make sure she heard everything correctly since it's kind of loud inside with the music and the guests. Food: 5/5 I love how they had gritz as a choice instead of hash browns. The gritz was a good filling portion. 5 slices of turkey bacon was great. The churro waffle was also very tasty, crunchy and had a good amount of toppings. My husband got the French crepe combo and liked crepe's texture. These are plain crepes with nothing inside. You also can't go wrong with scrambled eggs and sausages. Also, there's no bottled ketchup at the tables which is good so there's no waste. You can ask for ketchup and they'll bring you some in a little container. Overall, the food came out warm and super fast! We waited for 10 minutes for our food to arrive. Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Calm lighting with plenty of televisions (Note: if you don't like loud places, then kindly don't come here) Special note: The women's bathroom is also really clean! read more

Came here on a Sunday, put my name to the waitlist at 11: 00 am for a party of 2 host said it was going to be a 25-30 min wait, which was fine because we walked around the farmers market, after we finished with the farmers market we went back this time it was around 11:26 when we got back I waited until 11:30 to go see how much longer host couldn't find us on the waitlist which made no sense because I received a text message that I was added to the waitlist, then this other older gentleman came and put us down again all the way to the bottom of the list after telling him we have been waiting for almost an hour. Waited a few more minutes for all the parties that were behind us to go first when again I let the host know I did not want to be put at the end of the line. Nonetheless we left, was looking forward to try this place but unfortunately will not be coming back. read more

If you like salted butter in your coffee cake, this is the place for you. I however prefer sweet cream butter and to add salt to food myself. Wouldn't put it on coffee cake or toast though, odd choice for a restaurant. The coffee was fine, I had the egg combo with corned beef hash, grits, and coffee cake. Eggs were cold, hash was fine, bowl that the grits came in was hot but grits were not. Sent them back to be microwaved but didn't eat them when they came back. They were watery and there is just something about that butter that tastes off. I usually eat my grits with salt and butter so it should have worked but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My girl had the chefs scramble and liked it. She loved the decorations. We visited during Halloween and the place was decorated nicely for the season Service is a bit slow. We were seated right away but waited forever for our order to be taken. After we were done the lady at the table next to us was frustrated that nobody had taken their order and said aloud "we've been seated for 20 minutes!" We shared that it took a while for our order to be taken too. So not sure if we got seated in the wrong section or if this is just how it is here. read more
