Village Grille is a GrossePointe staple. Their salad bar is a family favorite! The menu overall is pretty good. Unfortunately on this visit a friend tried the Old Fashioned and it left a lot to be desired. I suppose cocktails are not their strong suit. They do have a small private room available in the front, which is nice for celebrations or other more private events if needed. read more

We stopped by here after my daughter's Christmas recital for a quick bite and all of the staff are amazing and nice. The bar is amazing and has lots of high tops and booths and bar space, Lots of TVs all over the restaurant to watch the game and a fun game room for the kids. They have a really nice salad and soup bar they keep very clean when it's open. The food is good. I got what I've always gotten since I was a kid. The chicken pita rancher. The kids got kids pizza and tenders. They have gluten free options like pasta and wraps if you ask. Cute corner sports bar/ family restaurant. Recommend! read more

What is in the photo here is Josh Allen kicking ass and taking names. But here at the Village Grille in Grosse Pointe City, I really love the energy of the staff, they are super nice. Plenty of TV's for sports viewing. It has a classic sports bar cozy feel. And yes, sometimes that is enough to overcome the god-awful food selections. And I mean, GOD awful. Why would you grill a Ruben style Rachel sandwich making the bread nice and crispy and toasted, only to then place the Cole slaw directly against the bread so it became a soggy, nasty mess by the time it hit the table. Why?!?! Here they also have a specialty soup called Taco soup which is in and of itself a Frankenstein soup but pretty darn delicious. In the wake if being out and off the menu for a few days, I ordered the New England clam chowder at the recommendation of the bartender. It is the single worst version of NE Calm Chowder I've ever tasted. This is a bowl of straight flour done in oil in a gloopy roux with a few dried chives and a big can of clams and potatoes. Hey chef, what are you saving the salt for? Did you even taste it before calling this batch compete? Or did it come from Sysco? How do you mess up a soup this simple so badly, how? My Blood Orange IPA, however, was cold and delicious. So, I will be back but just for beer, stellar customer service, Taco Soup and Tater tots. Their tots are the tops. read more

the food was 10/10 but we got our apitizers aftwr our meal and this one guy was a freaking pedo fr nd so creepy dont get me started so be aware read more

Welp. We have been here so many times since we moved back & we discovered the magic of their carry out pizza! I also LOVE the soup & salad bar, my brother was right! Staff is always friendly except for 1 person which we now just tend to avoid. The cook /chef is always unbelievably nice and puts out a great product with a fairly large menu ensuring something for everyone! The ambiance is super casual which makes it great for low key food, the kids sports teams after events & just an unpretentious atmosphere. If they had old school video games I'd say this could be the new Club 500! read more

The food is absolutely delicious! The salad and soup bar for entrees has so much to offer and the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is splendid with rich and creamy sauce. Service was amazing, our waitress was very enjoyable. The outside seating area is also really good, it provides such a nice atmosphere. 10/10! read more

I liked Village Grille, a casual bar on one side, restaurant on the other side spot on Kercheval in Grosse Pointe. We three sat in a cozy booth and had a relaxing meal with local whitefish, a baked potato and crisp asparagus. Tasty, and for less than $20, very reasonable. Also, great service from Ryan who let us enjoy our cocktails first, mine a well poured, ice cold martini. Will return. For sure. read more

For many years a loyal customer visiting 1 - 3 times every week. Recently bar side service has been significantly worse and when raising concern with the owner I was complete fluffed off as he walked away while I was talking. Good people, terrible owner, it as real shame they do not care about their most loyal customers while service and experience has declined significantly. Said hes been there for 40 years and doesn't care but I doubt that posture will lead to many more. Hopefully someone who cares more about their customers will take over soon before they go down due to terrible leadership / owner. read more

We love eating her when we are in the area. Fries are hot and delicious, food is always prepared as ordered and comes out quickly. We had French onion soup as well and forgot the photo. It was hot, flavorful, loaded with bread and cheese topping. My Reuben was piled with meat, crispy and tasty. I love how they put the sauce on the side so you can choose how much to apply. Our service was pretty general, nothing above and beyond but worked for us. The restaurant was clean and quiet for our lunch out. We had two small children with us and were seated in an area away from others which we appreciated. read more

Grosse pointe park usually has fantastic restaurants. This one drags every other shops and restaurants to the sewer Fish and chips was soggy. How do you mess up deep fried food? Pizza was average, nothing special. Atmosphere was dingy, dim, but not romantic way Salad bar seemed really expensive for what is offered Sad face read more

There is something for everyone from the wide menu variety. Good to watch a game or have dinner with the family. Food is fine, but don't expect anything spectacular. However, someone in our group didn't get there food until almost everyone else was done and the staff was unapologetic. read more

Village grille has been a staple since I started work in Grosse Pointe 8 years ago. From the lunch combos, to the wraps, all the way down to the pizza...we personally love everything. The service here is always fast on our lunch break & the ambiance is nice for both bar vibes AND family occasions. They have the restaurant divided, half bar , half family friendly. Food & atmosphere is for everyone!!! read more

We came here on a whim in a Saturday night and were happily surprised and cannot wait to come back. The server was kind, the chef came out to visit our table and say hello, and the food was delicious. We especially loved the salad bar! We learned they do catering/banquet and are planning to host our daughter's baptism reception here. read more

If you are vegan, there really aren't a lot of options. The only vegan thing they have would probably be the salad bar

Overall just ok! Pretty good food, ok ambiance. The wait staff was nice and funny. This place is good for a last minute place to go but I wouldn't go on purpose. read more

The food is a variety of sandwiches and simple entrees. The bar serves a full menu of alcoholic beverages. Comfort food probably best describes the fare. Served hot and presented nicely. a lot of dishes are fried, though I did see some sensible items for those who are watching their calories or carbohydrate intake. I have always found the service to be very good. The weight staff pays attention to customers and will fix any mistakes on the order. They are good about bringing condiments with your dish and are asking ahead about them. For lunchtime, it's a quiet place to be. in the evening and on the weekends, there are a lot of families who enjoy the place so there are a lot of children around. They have a game room and other things to keep them entertained, but sometimes the noise level is a little much. They have been around a long time because the product is predictable and it is a welcoming establishment for many. read more

The food is typically good but the service can be really bad at times. Sometimes it takes forever just to get a sandwich.

Usually a fav spot to grab a carry out - but after the last couple of experiences I won't be returning. Prices are just not the best. You get a pita but have to order fries separate... then if you get a Greek salad, beware that it is nothing of a Greek salad! A premixed salad kit with carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers (along with the usual Greek salad toppings) and only 1 tiny dressing and no pita. Better off at Coney Island read more

We drove quite a distance and while parking was good and our server very pleasant and attentive despite appearing to be the only one on duty the salad bar greatly disappointed. Not worth the price.The only proteins were diced ham and sliced egg. Also, onions were not cut up. We ordered a grilled chicken breast and it was dry. This restaurant falls under what we call one and done. read more

As always, my friend and I were on a quest to find a restaurant that offers outside or patio dining. So we decided to try Village Grille Restaurant, as the menu offered a variety of options, and there was outside dining. We went in the evening time on Sweetest Day, and walking through the restaurant, I would like to note that they did have plastic shields between each table and booth. Which I thought was cool, and added safety measure! Our waiter was nice, and I'm glad he was patient enough to deal with us Bc it was freezing outside that evening, lol! I ordered the Lake Perch, which came with Red Skin Potatoes and Asparagus. Plus the option of soup or salad, and I decided to order the Clam Chowder Soup. Everything was good! My friend ordered the Beef Nachos, and the nachos could've served a party of 4 really, it was a huge heaping of nachos, they weren't stingy at all with the portion sizes. This restaurant seemed cool though! And must be popular, Bc the entire time we were there, there was traffic full of people going in and out, ordering take out, and dining inside! Something to keep in the back of your mind if you're ever in the area! read more

went there last night with my grandchildren, sat for an hour. Watched three tables that came in same time as us get served. Asked to speak to the manager, they never put in our order. He apologized, put in order for steak bits and they were horrible. I told the waitress....these are not filet bites. Her answer was, yeah, they changed that. Sat another 20 minutes for meals and finally got up and left. Won't be going back. Very dissapointing. read more

I was there Saturday and Hamburger was disappointing overcooked French fries were overcooked Salad bar a lot of the stuff was empty Did not look fresh or Taste fresh Food all over the floor Waitress never came back and asked how things were... Definitely looks like they never clean anymore place was filthy!! Won't be back! Too bad we used to enjoy the place read more

Good just ok. bar food but average at best. We overheard a customer (and later was told he was the owner) telling our waitress to "tell this kids to shut the F up". It was noon during a downtown family friendly event. He then told several others over continuing glasses of cheap wine about how annoyed he was kids were eating in the bar area. The only reason we've ever tolerated the food is because of the supposed family friendly atmosphere. If you want to have cheap(ish) drinks day drinks with these guys listening to them loudly tell everyone how awesome their hatred while enjoying some average fried foods, this is your place. read more

I've been here a few times in the past and never cared for it. I went today to try their new salad bar and it was pretty good. Their ranch was really good! If you're a ranch lover thats very important! It also had a variety of soup to chose from and a few different vegetable and pasta salads. The Greek tortellini was great. There were a pretty good selection of toppings for the salads. The types of lettuce were a little lacking. There was kale, ice burg, and Spinach. There were tortilla chips and something that looked like salsa. They should have nacho cheese! The service was awesome. I'd probably come back! read more

I had to lower my 3 star to one star. I can not take the rudeness from the staff. Hello I'm the paying customer. My take out is not an inconvenience to you. It's how restaurants make money. How they stay business is beyond me. Order take out waited 30 minutes. No food. I walked out and disputed the charges on my card. Don't waste your time. read more

This place sucks for take out despite the extra effort put into the atmosphere for dining in. Ive eaten here in the past and had good experiences there... so when I had unfortunate stay in a nearby hospital, ordered some food thru Doordash and was extremely disappointed. My food was soggy, didn't include any of the sauces that supposedly come with it nor any cutlery. When I called the restaurant, the "manager" was rude and basically laughed.. Way to run a business! read more

This place I thought would be just a usual bar and grill but it has surprised me with the food every time I come there the service and food are good I got the fish and chips and it was fantastic and my waiter he was very funny. The only critique I have is a little bit more cleaning could be used. Overall great place to get a bite downtown gp read more

The food was excellent. But... it was 8 with the restaurant closing at 10. We wanted to eat the salad bar and they started tearing it down as we were ordering. Changed order. Waitress came back and said they were out of white fish. Order changed. Came back, out of lamb. Dang. What we did get was excellent though read more

Nice local eatery. Nothing too fancy. It was a nice surprise to find a salad bar on the weekend!

my mom and i popped in here for a quick lunch. our server travis was friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. there is a bar area and a separate dinning area. both are comfy and adequate for dinning. read more

So we came into town on Friday. We had dinner. I ate a salad and that night became ill. My brother and his family ate there last night and became ill. It saddens me that this restaurant is not up to being a safe place to eat. The glassware is not clean and the dishes they use are not clean. The food is not being prepared well and cooked. I really hope they can change things get better quality of dishes and keep them clean as well as the food they are serving. read more

Many televisions to watch sporting events, average food, nice staff - not great, but it fits a local need.

The customer is mostly wrong. That's the jist of my conversation with ownership (Dan). Let me back up a bit. Our family decided to give VG a try last light after a youth basketball game. We ordered a few items. Three of the four orders were wrong: an adult order of sliders (not kids) so it was bigger (kid did not eat extra portion) no lettuce (instead pickles and onions-grilled into the cheese) and extra basket of fries, and extra side of fries, no apple sauce, it continues. When the bill came, I brought up a couple miscues. The server told me that's just the way it was (even though it was clearly rung incorrect). Trying to maintain a good experience I decided I would just call the next morning and talk to a manager/owner. We started with liking up the order and then proceeded to tell me where I went wrong ordering or/and gave me she's new routine. He then said, I wish you had said something. I told him I tried and I just actually just told him. He then said I guess I owe you a kids burger and to just let them know next time . I also overpaid for $7 in fries, paid for an adult slider meal my kid didn't eat with onions, and paid for another kids meal when only asking for side if Mac&cheese. Probably $20ish in overages and still not a good meal. Read and trust the reviews of this establishment. There are lots of good places to eat. Whisky Six very close by is under new management. A great burger. read more

Well, tonight I gave Village Grill its third chance. It was an awful experience, actually worse than before. It was not busy so our food should have come out fairly quickly. We were waiting and waiting until the waitress informed us that our order had been lost. When we did get our meal it was terrible. Whomever washed the lettuce never dried it and both my meal and my husband's meal were soggy because of the extra water on the plate. My husband's meal had a longer stringy piece of lettuce handing off the plate that the waitress dragged across the table. His garden burger was odd tasting. It seemed that they tried to fry it frozen and then microwaved it. The bun had obviously been dropped on the grill on one side and was coated with crude from the grill. My fish was barely cooked through and the redskins were mush from the water on the plate. Both plates looked like food was haphazardly thrown on. No manager apologized nor offered to discount our meal. The waitress rarely checked on us before and after she lost our order. We will not be back. Will never recommend. Third strike and Village Grill lost our business. read more

Who patrons this place to keep it open? I hope the quality of food has improved since I went, but I didn't have a good experience here at all. I got some turkey or chicken sandwich, it was boring and bland. I hope it was just an off day. read more

It's okay. I feel like I would like this more if I was more of a townie, or if I liked sports, or trivia nights, or something. I got dinner here once or twice when relatives were visiting, but haven't really been back since - everythjng felt a bit heavy and outdated and if I'm getting dinner in town, there's more options now. read more

This place is nasty. I really used to enjoy the food here back when I was in high school, about 12 years ago lol. I ordered carry out tonight and it was disgusting. I can't believe I paid for hard, flavorless fries and microwaved pretzel bites with rancid cheese sauce. I'm scared that I'm going to be sick tonight. Will never order from here again. read more
