I had driven 11 hours to get to Albuquerque. I had only eaten a breakfast sandwich and an apple all day, so I was super hungry. I had actually planned on going to one place, but they were closed, as were my 2nd and 3rd choices. I knew Village Inn would be open. Super pleasant server. She was energetic and had a great smile. I saw a club sandwich on the menu. I saw that you could get a side of a cup of soup instead of fries. I asked if I could get a cup of the green chile, meaning the soup. She said absolutely! Did you still want a side with your sandwich? No, just the green chile and sandwich is fine. She came out with a side of chopped green chile and the sandwich. Total misunderstanding. I didn't even ask her to fix the mistake because I was so hungry and I miss not having green chile in California. Sandwich plus chopped green chile is a winner! I asked for 2 slices of carrot cake to go. Carrot cake was excellent. read more

The steak and eggs were the best I've had in a long time. Thick, cooked perfectly, and the entire experience and breakfast were very enjoyable. read more

We went for their All You Can Eat Fish Special and we're very pleased. The fish and fries were perfectly cooked. Louie (out waiter) was amazing. Super friendly, funny but most of all attentive. We've gone to other locations and been disappointed at the quality of the food and the service...the Wyoming location is now OUR location! Thanks to management and staff for renewing our loyalty to Village Inn! read more

Service was quick, friendly and delicious. I truly love VI's omelette selection and appreciate the cleanliness, and the pie is always a hit never a miss! To boot, our server was the nicest we have ever had there and we come quite often. Manny is great and I can't remember how to spell her name Dasha, maybe ? Anyways, great job today we really appreciated it! read more

THANK YOU MANNY! The manager went above and beyond recently to make sure I was happy when there was a glitch in a pie order I made. And he made the receipient, a nearly 80-year old woman, very happy as well! Thanks again so very much! read more

I went for the first time ever today. It was jam-packed! I was shocked and excited to see, assuming it would be amazing due to every seat being taken. I'm not sure if they were out of flavor today? Or just gave up from being slammed. I did the inn special where you pick 4 items. Ordered the 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 3 small buttermilk pancakes and chicken tenders. I will admit the bacon was the best part of the meal. Followed by the eggs. The chicken tenders were small and definitely old since the actual meat inside the breading was dry. The gravy was delicious though. But the pancakes. I don't understand how you can screw up pancakes but honestly, it had no flavor! At all. And I hate putting syrup on mine normally but I had to today because it was so dry and dull. Definitely would not recommend the pancakes. Others at my table agreed that the bacon and eggs were good, but the "bread" items were not. Also tried the French toast (a big "nope" from my aunt), and the Belgium waffles were delivered cold. Not like, it's been sitting waiting for the rest of the order to finish room temp, but actually cold cold. Service was great for the drinks, especially considering how packed it was. read more

I've always been a fan Village Inn, however, tonight I went for dinner and everything was quite bad. My waitress spent the entire time I was there flirting with another staff member who was on break. After bringing my food, she did not check on me one time. The food was ok, but I ordered sunny side eggs, and got over easy with one yoke almost fried hard. I didn't get any butter with my toast, and of course the waitress was busy flirting across the restaurant. I tracked down another server, and he was quite helpful, personable, and he's the one who should have gotten the tip!! The manager did ask how the food is in passing, but otherwise he also sat across the restaurant sort of out of sight. Overall I was quite disappointed with every aspect of my dinner tonight, and not sure if I'll return for a repeat! Village Inn has really gone down hill in so many ways over the years! read more

Mouthwatering, delicious, hot, and filling! Great service by Louie! Rewards. It can't get any better than this! #ourfavbrunchspot #nmfood #excellentservice #repeatcustomers #never disappoints read more

Village Inn - This is why I come back! #huevosrancherosconcarneadovada - New American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Hadn't been here in awhile so wasn't sure what to expect. When I walked in I was greeted very nicely and seated promptly. The waitress was very fast to get our order and drinks she was very polite. The food was delicious no complaints. Overall a great experience I would recommend this place for a good breakfast or snack. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful I had my 4 year old with me. read more

I'm shocked the stars on this restaurant are so low, because it was excellent! I haven't been to a Village Inn since the 90s, and this one was really nice. It looks newly renovated and super clean and modern. There were a very nice man and woman (that I think were managers)greeting people at the door and managing the flow of incoming traffic. Even though there were a lot of people waiting, it was only about 5 minutes to get a table. Our server was great and the food was really good! read more

Village Inn - Ultimate Breakfast with a side of pancakes and Chicken-Fried Steak Skillet. - New American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I ate here for dinner last Thursday night. The service was fast. I will probably come here again.

Be ready: it is a great deal to go on Wednesday's to get free pie with any purchase but be ready for large crowds! Our server was very overwhelmed and we had long waits for beverages, food, and the check but you can't beat free pie! Especially on 3/14! I love the VIB option because it lets us build our own breakfast combo for a great price! I eat Keto while the husband likes to balance sweet, savory, and whole grains so we love mixing and matching. It is such a great deal! The coffee is great too. Plus they drop off an entire carafe of it at the table so you don't have to wait for refills and can drink as much as you want. Also - you can get your free pie to go on free pie Wednesday's! The free pie options are the pie of the day or the fruit pies. They will usually give you an option of one of the cream pies too but it changes. read more

The service here is so friendly. Staff are amazing and food is delicious. Highly recommend!

Came for breakfast with the Mamma and was not disappointed in any way. The service was superb. The food was served quickly, hot, abundant, and tasted amazing!! My omelette was garnished with a sliced avocado when most places will charge minimum $1 for avocado. I know most Village Inns have closed and it's unfortunate. I feel it's super underrated because we are most pleased. read more

Village Inn - Breakfast - New American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I wanted to get some breakfast before running errands. I stopped here since the food is consistent. The eggs were cold and I had asked for dry toast and it arrived dripping in butter. I had ordered a tomato juice and had to remind the server about the juice. She never came back to the table. When I paid for the meal and shared with the manager about what happened he's response was guess need to talk to her. Would say it's not worth the stop. read more

We do takeout regularly and have been pleasantly impressed. Easy grab and go pickup process too.

Do you have " nothing days"? Cool, then Village Inn is the spot. Listen, the Ultimate Skillet will ensure that you spend the on a nothing cloud. Look the portions are sound and best of all for us nothingners, they have fast pick up read more

Well I haven't been able to go to Village Inn in quite awhile the pies are still awesome the service not so good. They take your order and forget about you. The place is a lot cleaner since the last time I've been here. read more

Great food & nice staff except a guy named "mark" who works there was a whole vibe kill. Not really friendly or Dosnt talk much.

I got the pot roast and it was very tender and tasty. Just the home cooked taste I was looking for. My only regret is I didn't get any pie. What was I thinking?? read more

Now that corporate is out of the picture and it is an independent franchise owner I can't believe the service! I now eat here two or three times a month, now. Great wait staff and the food is tasty and fresh. The cooks don't look homeless and have uniforms and all. I highly recommend it! read more

My husband and I used to LOVE going to the Village Inn, Everything used to be prepared so nicely and it was delicious. We'll never go back again after our recent visit. I ordered a patty melt with onion rings. The patty melt came burnt so black it was inedible. When I sent it back for another, the second patty melt came back just as burnt.I spoke with the manager who said the cook was in a 'hurry' and he told him to slow down. There were two other people in the restaurant and they looked like they might have been homeless. The patty melt had no cheese on it, and no onions to speak of. It tasted awful. They comped the patty melt, but the manager made all kinds of excuses for the bad cook --- he'd been therefor ONE year so he SHOULD have known how to cook. The onion rings were made with very old onions, so they were stringy and tough instead of moist and crispy. My husband had ordered an omelet that came 'mediocre.' We'll never go back to this dump again. One of the servers had a deep cough that sounded like covid. The manager didn't give a rip that our meal stank. We would have been SO much better just going thru the BK drive thru. EXTREMELY disappointed - based on this experience we will NEVER go back. Yuk. Evidently this business got ruined during the pandemic. We used to love the place!! read more

Tried ordering 3 pies to go for an event and the person that answered the call was extremely rude and hung up I called back asked for a manager and the same person answered put me on hold, coughed in the phone and manager never came to talk. Needless to say. I'll never purchase anything from here again. read more

We went in about three weeks ago and the district manger was in and the restaurant was fully staffed, clean. Went back a week later it was still clean service was good. Went tonight and the old manager was back and everything that was bad about this restaurant was back again too. Slow service, dirty floor and tables and the manager back out front smoking with her employees read more

Steer clear of this place. Took about 30 minutes to get drinks. Another 30 minutes to get our order taken and almost an hour for our food to come out. When the food arrived the crepes were cold and hard. In fact it seems as though the waiter was far more focused on a table where someone they knew sat at and completely ignored us. Do not recommend. Try another Village Inn. read more

I don't know why this place has such low ratings. We're from out of town and ate here twice. Great food, friendly staff. Felt compelled to rate this because it deserves more than two stars. The other location on San Mateo is good, but this is better IMO. Order the create your own omelet--just a hint :) read more

We have eaten here several times recently and had great friendly service with really great food. We have had breakfast, Chicken fried steak, good Ruben sandwiches, very good fish and chips... great onion rings... they won me back!!!! read more

They closed the wrong Location. I will never go back to that location. They lady manager is the worst customer service manager I've seen in years. If she has a disagreement with one of the customers she talks about to other customers loud enough for all of the customers around her to hear. Then when I asked her why she had to come talk to other customers about our conversation, she said in a very snide way well that's the way I do things in my rulebook. I will never go back to that location. read more

Villiage Inn - Albuquerque, NM So this particular V.I. is probably the only one that deserves a 5 Star and it's mostly because for our waitress. Edie is the best. Anywhere. Ever. She's simply the best. She's attentive, she's speedy, and she takes great care of my family when we come in. Location is okay, usually clean and nice. Food is okay. Not amazing but it's always pretty tasty. Just don't have high expectations on that. But if you're looking for a nice family restaurant, come in the morning, Friday's, and ask for Edie. She'll take great care of you. Corinne is also pretty great. It's the best VI around. read more

I received a coupon in the mail 10 years ago for a pretty good deal, I can't remember if it was a BOGO or a % off the whole check, I think it was 25% off the whole check. But the coupon did it's job and brought me into the restaurant. My wife and I went on a Wednesday and when we arrived, we showed the server the coupon. We ordered and had an okay breakfast for dinner. When we got to the register to pay, we were told that we could not use the coupon because it was Wednesday, which is free pie day and that is the only discount they recognized on that day. We pointed out that the coupon did not have that exception in the fine print and the server did not tell us that our coupon would not work. They said no, would we like to have pie? I said that is worthless to a diabetic and a spouse that supported a diabetic diet, why would we want pie? I came in because of the coupon! When I complained, the cashier and the manager were rude. I have not set foot in a Village Inn for 10 years since. Obviously they didn't realize the impact of one bad visit or they simply didn't care. My mother has suggested Village Inn for family meals several times, and I have vetoed it every time. I am still thinking about it 10 years later and I think about it many times as I drive past the restaurant, which is quite frequently. The memory reinforces itself and it is a thing I can't explain. I wish I could get past it. My first job was as a dishwasher. Later I was a busboy. I worked as a waiter during high school and college; maybe that is why I can't let it go. I typically tip more than I should for average service and food. I usually tip 20% on the bill before any discount. For good service, I am super-generous and tip even more. Often, when there is bad service, I only tip 10%, which is the norm for my parents. So if I stop going to a restaurant completely, it is really rare. I drove past it yesterday after having an enjoyable meal at Black Angus next door and discovered that I am still annoyed enough 10 years later to write this review. I just had a meal for 2 in which we both had steaks expertly prepared and we upgraded our sides, coffee for 2 and dessert for 2 that cost just about $22 with decent service and good food...so I left an $8 tip. What a difference! By the way, the lot sucks and has speed bumps every few feet: completely unnecessary and obnoxious. So it makes me slow down on my way to other things in the shopping center that I go to pretty often... and every time I hit a bump, it gives me a little extra time to curse Village Inn silently to myself. read more

Village Inn - Yummy pie free pie on Wednesday with the purchase of something - New American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My family has frequented the VI Wyoming at Menaul location for at least 20+ years. From the days when it was family-owned, then corporate-owned, and now back to the family-owned business it is today (the family of the original owners as I understand it; The Bronson family I think is the name?) We experienced the nicest servers and managers who served us through the years (Rod, Frank, etc., and others.) It is so nice to have the family owners back as the service and hospitality defiantly show. During the COVID pandemic, we supported VI as much as possible as it is our gathering place. You see some old-time customers frequent quite often and we have never had a bad experience. I went through a 307 lb to 225 lb weight loss through a combination of weight watchers and VI chef salads. I've seen great cooks such as Robert Lindsey (God rest Robert's soul as Robert passed away a few years ago) and his Brother, Dan. Robert used to make the pies, and there used to be a Friday night Lasagna dinner that Robert (his family recipe) that Robert was allowed to serve during Friday Fish night. I went to high school with the Lindsey family, and I think most of the kids worked for VI at one time or another. So, it's safe to say, VI is a second home to my family. VI has gone through changes, all for the better, and I will continue to patronize VI until I am unable to get out of the house. read more

This is the worst restaurant we have experienced! I have waited 45 minutes with no service! I asked the manager on duty to help, and he did nothing; then berated me for complaining! My suggestion is not to go there! By the way, I spoke to upper management, but the bad behavior continues by the staff and management! I don't think they will be in business very much longer! read more

Good food, we came for dessert though. We ordered the blossom and strawberry crepes. They had a rubber-like texture, but very tasty. The place wasn't that packed, maybe about 6 tables including me and my family. We had a server named Emily, who was slacking off slightly. We were sitting at a table close to the kitchen and could clearly see their food window where they put the food up under the warmers. My sister had ordered the strawberry crepes which they still had to make. They put the crepes up on the line and we were watching it for over 15 minutes before Emily grabs it and comes running over "I'm coming I'm coming! Don't worry. They just put the crepes up on the window" After 15 minutes of watching the crepes just sit up there, she has the courage to lie to my family telling us they just got done. Very nice waitress, just careless and slow. read more
