I had the garden fresh skillet with 3 pancakes. A good no meat breakfast for anyone to enjoy. The broccoli was not cooked but I think it was meant to be that way. The eggs were cooked as I ordered and the pancakes were fresh and tasty. My server Jada was super nice and super attentive to my needs. Coffee was good and fresh. I'm not to sure about the skinny cook sign. Gordon Ramsey may have something to say about that. read more

Village Inn - 1/2 lb. Chicken-Fried Steak & Eggs* - New American Near Me - Largo, Florida

I really wish I had been able to video this experience. We arrived on a Friday night, knowing that they have an all you can eat fish on Fridays. The first clue should've been that when we arrived at 6:30 PM, there were eight people in the restaurant. Now I have been to this location many times in the past, but not recently. We were seated near the opening to the kitchen, which was about 4 feet wide and about 5 feet from where I was so I could hear things going on. For example, "86 the noodles, they look nasty." We were waited on by a young, extremely inexperienced server I'll probably needed to shadow somebody for a little longer than he did. He asked if we wanted something to drink and we ordered two diet Pepsi's, he returned with them and wanted to know if we were ready to order. I told him we need a few minutes. 27 minutes later, I signal to the other server on the floor to please find where our server may have gone. He entered the kitchen area and called over to him, asking him if he forgot his customers. Meanwhile, the people at the next table were having their own issues. A table of three and one order was a breakfast dish, which apparently included pancakes that didn't get brought to the table. He may still be waiting. A man ordered a sandwich as a wrap and they brought it out on toast. He said I asked for a wrap and he was told that they don't have wraps. Well, it's on the menu! So a second server came over to help our inexperienced server and ask them if they wanted a tortilla or lettuce wrap." I want a tortilla wrap, "said the man. Well, 15 minutes later they brought out a lettuce wrap. So we weren't the only ones. When the young man came back to take our orders, we ordered a cod sandwich with fries and coleslaw, I ordered some green chili and I asked whether the AYCE fish or the fish n chips with cod was the better fish. He explained that the all you can eat fish had a special batter that they put on it and it was really the better fish so I ordered the all you can eat. About 15 minutes later, he came out to apologize and tell me that they ran out of batter for the all you could eat fish so I'd have to have the cod instead, but not all you can eat. And then he amazingly said that the cod was the better fish, the exact opposite of what he had told me less than an hour earlier. The fish wasn't bad, the "seasoned fries," didn't even have salt on them. And if you were looking for a freshly hand, cut fries, try another location. These were crinkle cut, obviously frozen, and tasteless.. Meanwhile, the people at the other table try for 30 minutes to get refills on their sodas to no avail. So when the check was placed down without comment, I looked at it and saw that I was still being charged for all you can eat. I called over the Young man and asked him if he could possibly fix that since I didn't get to eat that. "I think I can change it in my computer." Finally, we left and went upfront to pay and saw the 18% service fee. The cashier read me my total and a screen came up to ask me if I wanted to add an additional tip. Truthfully, I didn't want to pay any tip because it really wasn't deserved. But I know everybody can have a bad day and I'm afraid this young man may have a few coming up. But I do wish him well. I know it's a very difficult business, but it's not that hard when there's only eight people in the restaurant and there are two servers. I will say the restaurant was pretty clean, of course, when nobody comes in they can't make it very dirty can they? I thought about making this a one star, but the fish was OK. And I did have a bowl of green chili that was more of a soup but I did like the heat. But two stars is as far as I can go on this one. And the most telling thing of all, for a place known for their pies, not only that he asked us if we wanted a slice of pie, but the display case is upfront that can hold 30 pies had perhaps six in there. I think we're getting close to the end of this location. read more

Average American day to day family place to eat nothing really that different just don't go there at night they slack off.

Today's review is just for new items on the menu. Otherwise I love come to this place. Saw they were offering Cappuccino which I love. But the foam on top had a horrible chemical taste. It ruined the whole cup. The seasonal pumpkin pancakes taste great but need more toppings. It doesn't match the photo. read more

Ordered chicken pot pie, looked like green throw up in a bowl with a square pastry crust set on top and the crust had sugar on it, so gross. I sent it back and got a BLT. It was served with dry bread and bacon that was little pieces that fell off the sandwich when you picked it up. Had to ask for mayo to put on it even though they asked if I wanted it. Only saw our waiter, when he took our order but was forced to pay an 18% service fee no matter how your service was and had the nerve to ask for more. The 18% fee isn't posted anywhere, they sneak it in at the end. If I could give less than a 1 star, I would. It's a one and done for me. I will never go back there. We talked to the manager about this and she said we could complain to the owner but he won't care and won't do anything about it. read more

We went in the day after our second hurricane for breakfast. There was a fixed menu (scrambled eggs, toast, home fries with the choice of bacon, sausage links or sausage patties). The waitress was quite abrupt while taking our order. In no time at all, the food was delivered and literally dropped on the table. My sausage fell from the plate to the table. We had no silverware nor napkins - no condiments, no drinks. A server from another section provided them. Our waitress shortly after we started to eat stopped to drop off the check (real friendly and smiling then). Rating: Hostess - outstanding Food - good, hot and out quickly Restaurant - clean Service - subpar Return to this location - no read more

Great breakfast so much to eat for the cost ! And to boot the pies omg !! Free pie Wednesday

Let's give 18% for the worst service. Long wait. Nasty Cold food. This location/place Sucks.

Tiny portions, Clumpy rice. Chicken artichoke Wasn't that nice. Old green chili Way over-spiced Hardly any pork Not a bit nice. Food wasn't hot The room was icy The whole experience Was sadly dicey. Entree was bland, Prices too high. This place is not Pie in the sky. Tip was included Who does that? A tip is a reward Not another slap. read more

Village Inn - Largo, FL Every time we visit Florida, stopping at Village Inn is a family tradition, and this visit was no exception! The warm and welcoming service from Samantha V made our experience even better--she was genuinely friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. We ordered breakfast, and everything was delicious! The pancakes, in particular, were light, fluffy, and perfectly cooked. It's always comforting to enjoy a meal that feels homemade and satisfying. The cozy atmosphere and great service keep us coming back. Whether it's for the tasty food or the nostalgic tradition, Village Inn in Largo never disappoints. Looking forward to our next visit! P.s. we were so full from our breakfast that we didn't order any pie! The pie is awesome! read more

First time at Village Inn! We started with onion rings to share, yummy! Hubby got the reuben which was delicious. I had the fried chicken sandwich. Our server Nichole L. was phenomenal! She said my sandwich would be good on the garlic Texas toast and she was right. She gave us many recommendations and was so friendly and such a great server. The only thing that was lacking were the fries. They needed to be a little more crispy. We got the apple pie warm with ice cream for dessert. Scrumptious! read more

Very simple order this morning. Hash browns with onions and peppers and salsa, Rye toast, and a bowl of grits. What i received was a very small portion of hash browns without onions and peppers, ketchup in place of salsa, very hard wheat toast, Not RYE! Very disappointed as i had to repeat the order to the young lady several times. read more

The food is just okay, but the 18% up charge (imposed tax) is not a tip; a tip, or gratuity, is at the discretion of the customer. Since that isn't a choice, it is a tax. I won't do that. read more

Bad service- waited 20 minutes for beverage- had another server bring it. Worst club sandwich and fries I've ever eaten-not like the Clearwater Village which unfortunitely closed. Tip figured in on check automatically- I guess that might explain bad service - Won't read more

My second time around today. My hubby says his food was good.. Mine is okay however I specifically instructed the waiter to separate the crepes and the fruits and sauce but it didn't;( the crepes were burnt ;(and the bacon was not crispy. Surrounding is nice. read more

Mostly Very Good, Great Staff We got two of the VIB Breakfasts where you pick what you want from various categories. It gave us a chance to try several different items. Better than usual: scrambled eggs, French toast (cooked through, yeah!), ham steak, coffee. Typical: English muffin, waffle, yogurt, biscuit. Not so good: bacon (very fatty and little meat), grits (OK consistency, but so bland). The restaurant is clean and bright. Our server was great. I'm not a fan of their 18% compulsory minimum tip, but they are very up front about it with a sign on the host's stand and verbally told by the hostess when we were seated. That advance notice is great and should be emulated by other restaurants that have a minimum tip policy. My only quibble is that they put the 18% on the tax and then also tax the tip. I feel that prices should just be raised and then tell people that there is no need to tip because the servers are getting a proper wage. read more

Since they renovated about eight years ago, this place has been much better than it once was. Our waitress Holly was excellent and offered different options for my family and had answers to all of our questions- we're not regulars obviously. This place is packed with families tonight - though we didn't have to wait - I'm surprised the rating is so low - it's a chain so that could be why ... I've never really had a negative experience at Village Inn. I love the retro decor and down home menu and service so I'll be back. read more

My God. Thanksgiving dinner was so disappointing. I hate to say so. I believe you get more on your plate at the homeless shelter. And besides everything was Cold. The pumpkin pie at the end was like pumpkin ice cream. Pie was still frozen. read more

It's Christmas morning, and my grandmother insists on stopping in at Village Inn "for pie." I wish that I had known that what she was after was a coconut cream pie. Between the poor service and then bland pie, I could have easily made one from scratch, just in time for dinner. Obviously it was busy, being Christmas morning. However, there is a designated pie counter, consisting of 2 cases of pies and 2 cashiers. Each cashier was tending to someone with no one else waiting. We got in line and waited our turn. The older woman waiting on us acted completely frazzled and annoyed with everyone around her, including us. My grandmother asked her for a coconut pie and she questioned whether she had preordered one online or not. My 80 year old grandmother looked at her like she was an alien. No, she had no clue such a thing was even possible. The woman gave a snotty response about having to go ask if she could sell her one but that she doubt that she could. She came back, pie in tow. But what appeared to be a waitress came up and began talking to her and then asked to use the cash point system. They chatted amongst themselves as the waitress used her computer, and while we waited. Even while she finally checked us out, she was rude. The topping on the pie is that the pie sucked. There is hardly even a hint of coconut flavoring to the pie and there's way more heavy, thick whipped cream topping than pie filling. Not a fan. read more

I took one star because of the extortion. There was an 18% "service " fee added to the bill. Being forced to tip can't be legal. Having said that, Sammy was my server and was awesome! She gave great service, was friendly and cheerful the whole time. Food was pretty good. I won't be back unless the extortion ceases. read more

Their food was just a 3, but the Covid-safe takeout service was a 5, so I will be nice. The majority of our two dinners were obviously from a can or freezer and just fried or heated. Not mad at all, this is the quality we should expect for the price. Their mashed potatoes actually seemed to be made from scratch, which was a nice surprise! It was getting late, we were hungry, and wanted a decent meal at an affordable price. This VI did a decent job. Thanks... read more

The server was very personable and kept checking to make sure we had all we needed for dinner. Lots of items on menu, even have a Seniors Menu. Food was delicious comfort food...and pie was included! Prices reasonable. Will try their breakfast next. read more

Had a good experience here on our recent trip to Florida. The food is what you would expect from any chain breakfast place; it was not spectacular, but it was pretty good. Their menu has a multitude of options and allowed everyone in our party to get something that they actually wanted (their customizable VIB is a great choice for a decent price). Our server was very kind, responsive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Food came out fast and hot. I had the Belgian waffle combo and thought the waffle was great. I definitely prefer the environment of this place to that of an iHop or Denny's, both of which always feel a bit depressing to me, to be honest. Overall, I'd recommend Village Inn to anyone wanting a nice, reliable breakfast option. read more

So a group of us from work go out to dinner once a month. This month it was decided we would dine at the Village Inn on Walsingham Rd. In Largo. Thankfully we had made reservations seeing our group consisted of 14 people. This place was slammed, due to it being "free slice of pie Wednesday." I ordered the chicken fried steak, with mashed potatoes, with lots of sausage gravy, and a buttermilk biscuit. For my side I had a cup of their vegetable beef soup, which was absolutely delicious! My meal was actually a generous portion of chicken fried steak, the outer edge of the steak was too well-done. The potatoes had an odd taste to it. It was really just OK. We took home our slices of pie which were pretty good. Mine was coconut cream. read more

A group 9 of us went to the Village Inn, Walsingham Rd on Easter Sunday for an early dinner 4:00. What a nightmare. This restaurant seems to have been run by very young g people; at the hostess desk, the servers and everything in between, all of which were completely overwhelmed. The food came out lukewarm or even cool which ruined what could have been a decent plate for the money. Pie selection (which is what they are known for) was scant. At the end of the meal we waited and waited for checks which a few needed correction, then we waited and waited to pay at the register, again, with confusion on the part of the very young man at the register. I think there were a few managers there having a meeting and they were completely oblivious the the situation. Their time would have been better spent attending to the many issues that were happening during the entire time we were there. read more

Good service, delicious burgers, and good pancakes.their Chicken Fried Steak is good too. Club Sandwich is a hit or miss depending on the cut and freshness of their turkey and whether they use freshly cooked bacon. read more

First of all, ask for Dennis. Awesome server. He remembers my drink order ever time and usually offers meal suggestions when I'm undecided. Secondly, the pancakes are THE BEST. Breakfast is served all day. The VIB allows you to order any four items so you can mix and match at will. Food is always good. Lots of regulars to get to know. Fun atmosphere with 50s music. Clean and the staff rocks! Lastly, free pie slice on Wednesday or purchase a whole pie for a special occasion or holiday. Can't go wrong with the pies. Delicious! read more

I went in expecting typical greasy spoon fare, but with warm friendly service. I wasnt disappointed with the food, but the service left something to be desired. Our waitress Mitzi was new, overwhelmed and borderline rude. Everything that came for the end of the table to my left was passed over me from the right. She set a Diet Coke down in front of me (which I had ordered), and I grabbed it and put my old straw in the new drink. She took my straw back out of the new cup, put it in my old cup and informed me I was being rude because that drink belonged to the person to my left. She smacked it down on the table and gave me a dirty look. The guy to my left wasn't offered a different drink. My replacement drink came .... Eventually. Complicated by a restaurant patron standing in the corner of the room shouting at the other patrons alternating that he loved us, wanted us to pay his check, and wanted one of the people in my party to make twins with him. I had 3 children with me, and my elderly mother. Not sure who he was speaking to. But it was loud and obnoxious and continued for maybe twenty minutes. Eventually he was escorted out by the police. But only after we went to the manager. Ultimately, reviews should be about the food. Which was unremarkable, uninspired, pedestrian and the least interesting part of the evening. We ordered chicken fried steak (tasty!), Mac n cheese (dried out, too little cheese over too much undercooked or extremely old pasta), fried fish (decent) and a 6 oz sirloin (adequate). The free pie was a nice touch. But not fantastic. At ~15/per person we could have gone anywhere else and at least had decent service. read more

Went looking for a good turkey dinner. Wrong. They took it off the menu. I ordered the pot roast. It was just okay. Very salty. It was free pie day. After getting home i looked at the bill and the price of the pie was not taken off the bill. I called and was told sometimes it doesn't take the pie off the bill. Have to go back and get the money owed us for the pie. I think the registers should automatically take off the pie on free pie today. How many people paid for free pie today? Will not hurry back. read more

The French toast is to die for. It's better than the pancakes. Even though the pancakes are good. I ordered off the senior 55plus menu. Where you pick three breakfast items to make your own breakfast. I choose two scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of French toast and a round sausage. Plenty of butter and syrup. Can't wait to order this again. read more

Friendly staff, always smiling and their customer service is great! The food here is great and well prepared. Although, I mostly eat breakfast because it's my favorite meal. But their lunch meals are good as well. I love their pies especially on Wednesday because they are free. I do believe it's a select few. They do get busy on the weekends. But I usually do not wait long. If you happen to be in the Largo area do stop by for a great meal and friendly service. read more

This was our first time coming here and I am very disappointed. We got seated right away, but it took 30 minutes and waving down a manger to even get drinks. We are now at the 45 minute mark and still no food, yet I've seen patrons who were seated and ordered after us get their food. Mind you, we ordered basic things like a cheese burger, grilled cheese, and a BLT. One of our orders was screwed up when we got it. Several tables of guests have finished dining and left, but those tables still haven't been cleaned. All we were offered as an apology was a slice of pie. read more

Good Clean Restaurant. Average menu. Nothing that stands out. Typical choices. Big draw is their fresh pies. Waitress was good. Food was good. Pie was good. Everything was Good. Not great. Not bad. Average. Definitely a favorite when we are in town. read more
