Food (9/10) - I order country/chicken fried steak with mash potatoes with white gravy sauce, fried onion rings, a muffin, a free pecan pie, and a sweet raspberry ice tea. From a price to food ratio I would also give 5 stars as this meal easily can fill a grown man for 2 meals (My wallet is crying with tears of joy). Country fried steak was cooked to perfection, however because the white sauce was on it, the crunchy fried breading became slightly soggy over time (kinda like cereal sitting in milk over time). I would suggest getting gravy on the side so you can have both textures as you eat. The mash potatoes were solid... not the best in the world, not the worst in the world, if your a fan of mash potatoes it hits the spot on a cold day. Fried onion rings were super crunchy and breaded well so each bite had 65% breading crunch and 35% onion. Would get these onion rings over Texas Roadhouse onion bloom/cactus blossom (which I had the day before) as they had a 70% onion to 30% breading (so each time you grabbed onions the breading fell off. The cupcake was a dark horse (tasted like a sweet, crumbly cake with sugar lightly soaked in a sweet nectar that was experience in every bite. I highly recommend this). Pecan pie... I'm too stuffed, so I'll defer on my honest review on the pecan pie. Finally, the raspberry icetea was diabetically sweet, like it should be. If you want it less sweet, just ask for a water on the side and add water until it's your ideal sweetness. Note: I was nervous at first since there were so many bad reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Service (9/10) - My server, Jacklyn, was sociable/professional and gave her own personal recommendations to our party. I asked her, "Do you eat here normally?" She said yes, so I took up her up on the offer and requested that she to order what she would normally eat. Side Note: It's a good sign when the workers eat the restaurant food regularly and have great taste. Ambiance (9/10) - The service overall was warm and homey that reminded me of southern Texas hospitality. There was about 8-10 parties eating when we can to dinner rush hour, and there was plenty of seating with minimal wait (the main wait was for the freshly made food that took an appropriate amount of time to cook/serve). Final Thoughts - Go on Wednesday as they have free pies if you get a entree + drink (excludes children) and thepies are half off on Wednesday. I'll be coming back again. read more

Village Inn - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Yea, been here over 100 times over the past few years, but customer service not what it used to be. Seems like the experienced servers have vanished and have noticed the manager, even though I give him credit for always being onboard, not providing the same attentive, caring service I've witnessed in the past. Still giving 3 stars for the quality of the food and preparation. Hoping the downhill progression is temporary. read more

I had a hamburger the meat tasted old and spoiled. I couldn't eat it . The waiter Mikey was a very good waiter.

My boyfriend & I love to go eat at the Village Inn in Iowa on Broadway. The waitresses Niki & Lindsay are awesome! They are always keeping the place clean & they're always checking on us. Like a waitress should do. Thanks a lot ladies, you both rock!!! read more

Was exactly what we wanted. A place to sit and talk while we eat a cheap brunch with indulgent food. The French toast was awesome! The biscuit, potatoes, and bacon were all solid. The chicken strips in gravy were a little lacking. The real star of the show was the service. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Overall the food was decent, the atmosphere was relaxed and the service was perfect. Would come here again. read more

0 stars. Our server was wonderful but the food was horrible. All the food was undercooked/had hair in it. I'm not one to complain but i decided to bring attention to it. After telling our server we overheard other servers talking badly about us and making snarky comments saying having bad food was our karma for giggling. The whole situation was unprofessional and inappropriate. We had talked to the manager and the manager did nothing. Nothing got taken off the bill we payed for everything read more

This location is convenient to hotels , interstate and neighborhoods , an older building but they have updated the interior so it feels more modern . We usually eat jr but decided to order to go to give it a try . Ordered online which was easy and convenient, paid through the website so all we had to do was go in and pick it up . Email gave us a time frame of 10 minutes and sure enough when we got there it was ready to go . Packaged nice with silverware and ketchup packets included , got home and was pleasantly surprised with the containers and how nice it looked , small containers for all the liquids ( gravy , strawberry syrup ) , which was nice as it didn't make a mess . Everything tasted great and the portions were big . With my meal and my sons kids meal we payed less then $16.00 which is not such a bad deal for what we got . We will definitely order again to go ! read more

Although the outside of the building exhibits no flair....the renovation of the building suggests just driving by it and don't stop....the staff, food, and friendly atmosphere are definitely deserving of not passing this location by. If the representation of the grounds and building would step up its game... it would draw your attention to stop in...so don't let the appearance of the building hold you back read more

The service and atmosphere were nice, however, our food left much to be desired. I ordered the Smothered Burrito with a stack of the pumpkin pancakes, my girlfriend had a V.I.B and a side of the Hot Chocolate pancakes. My burrito was warm and crispy but in a bad way. As if they used an old dry tortilla to wrap the burrito in, the chile verde sauce in particular was incredibly bland and many of the ingredients in the burrito were also tasteless. The pumpkin pancakes did not help either, the praline sauce on them was awful and the pancakes themselves were very soggy and 'oily?'. My girlfriend's meal was less disappointing but perhaps because it was a more simple and affordable breakfast (eggs, bacon, and potatoes). She did express that her potatoes had a funny smell to them "like McDonald's nuggets" of which were also in my burrito. Fortunately for us both, her Hot Chocolate pancakes were fine. I've been to Village Inn several times in the past so I'm aware of its "affordable diner" merit but the quality and taste of the food was much more pleasant in memory. read more

Place was pretty busy for Sunday lunch. Service was pretty good even so. Tables could have been a little cleaner. Food was good and hot and considering all the people, it came out fairly quickly. Food is always good, service here varies. Good place for breakfast 24 hours a day. read more

ordered breakfast this morning which I regret. we should have just went out. Today is a special day. this order really irritated me. no syrup with our food. no French fries which was two orders. 2 bacon strips when I ordered 4. I still haven't ate bc I'm writing this review. I had some issues getting a refund from delivery company. still haven't ate. two places I'm not ordering from. read more

Looks like they used all their time and effort to make the place look really nice and modern, but forgot to hire good cooks and servers. Food came out cold. They pretty much destroyed my avocado toast with salt. We waited for a long time and didn't even finish our food. Probably should have left before even ordering. read more

Waitress was friendly. Very "down home" relaxed atmosphere. Quick turnaround on our orders, and the food was great!

We stopped at Village Inn for breakfast yesterday. When we arrived we were seated right away. There were maybe 4 other tables or people . There was only one waitress and a manager. The waitress took our order and brought our drinks out right away. More people arrived. The waitresss was doing her best to serve all the new tables. The manager helped with some tables between phone calls. We did receive our meals in a reasonable period of time. We each ordered omelettes and hash browns. The omelettes were bland. My wife ordered a vegetable omelette with bacon. She didn't get any bacon in her omelette. We had a difficult time getting our waitresses attention. She offered to bring us a side of bacon and take the charge off our bill. We appreciated the offer. My hash browns were greasy and under seasoned. Overall the food quality was mediocre. The restaurant was understaffed so the service was not as good as it should be. I will say our waitress was very good under the circumstances. I don't know if we will return. read more

Ordered a crape from here and when it came out it tasted old/moldy. Manager came to the table and we explained it tasted off. Bill, the manager, did take the crape off our ticket but was very rude. Will not be going back to that location. read more

After reading all the reviews, I was curious what the real experience was at this restaurant. My brother in law and I walked over to this gem of a restaurant. The wait staff was helpful and kind. The menu is huge. I am a coffee snob, yet I drank the entire pot. (A hot, yet drinkable temp). It was a delicious coffee blend. I tried the strawberry crepes, they were delicious. The chocolate chip pancakes, wonderful (my kids would absolutely go bonkers over their pancakes). I ordered a spinach, mushroom and cheese omelette, and it was loaded. I literally have zero complaints about this restaurant. If I lived around here, I would frequent this establishment often. read more

Service here was amazing! Our server was so friendly and polite. We both got VIBs and donut holes to share! She also told us what she thought was very tasty and her opinion on some of the foods for us to better understand their menu. Food came out hot and fresh! Highly recommend this breakfast place! read more

So my family LOVES Village Inn's pies. Banana Cream top favorite! Plus I had a reminder of a GC left to spend so why not. When we used my GC the first time, the 2 ladies who assisted in running my GC thought they may have messed it up and used it all. So they said plz keep receipt etc. Well come today and neither ladies were there. The manager Bill Wagner was there and he knew who were the ladies who helped me and I had my son send me the receipts. Well let's just say, Bill is a manager who knows how to take care of his customers and not fault them and made the past situation that was not done on his watch but on the other mngr's watch (but she knew and told me) right! Not only did he fix the GC and make that right. He gave us the pie's on the house. Bill def earned my respect as a human, mngr in a rough and judgmental industry. EVERYONE needs to go show Bill some love at the Village Inn off 108th and L st omaha ne 68137!!! Staff as well is very pleasant and the new store look and very settle and calming. Love it. Thank you Bill and your 26yrs at Village Inn may you continue being you and rocking at being a manager and he was even in the kitchen cooking helping them get caught up! Jamie read more

I love this place. Got the strawberry crepes and husband got the supreme skillet. Service was quick, food was great and I cannot wait to try their Peanut Butter Banana Supreme pie. Taking that home as I'm so full right now. Kris our waitress was AMAZING!! We're so coming here again!! read more

I don't know who was on duty today, May 9, 2021, but you were EXTREMELY rude, not only to my husband but also to others I observed you interacting with in the restaurant You need to learn some good customer service skills, beings you ARE in the customer service industry. That's all! read more

Disgusting food. Corn beef hash floating in so much grease, I couldn't even sample it. The took it off my bill. The topper came when I observed a server in the kitchen moving lettuce from one container to another w/ bare hands. The facility was "tired." Horrible experience. Will never return. read more

This VI may be located in my least favorite part of town, but that doesn't mean you should skip it over when you need a pot of burnt coffee and a slice of pie on the cheap. On a recent visit, I found the staff to be pleasant and efficient -- the pregnant hostess even doubling as our server. I ordered the 2-2-2 breakfast -- two pancakes, two eggs and two rather sad strips of bacon (thin like card stock and small as a couple crumpled dollar bills). The eggs were perfect (cooked over hard, as is my usual preference), the pancakes fluffy and moist in identical machine matched portions. And the bacon was edible. Really, describing the food is rather pointless. If you've ever been to a Village Inn where they didn't screw up your order, well, my meal was exactly like that. The interior benefits from a recent upgrade. So expect a clean, casual dining experience. If you're coming from the north or east, expect to mutter a few curse words as you attempt to find a way to navigate your vehicle into the parking lot. Pedestrians and public transit users need not even bother. read more

Everything was fine until it came time to pay the bill. There appeared to be two waitresses working and were somewhat busy. When I say busy, maybe six tables, still felt like a place that was not doing well. The hostess guy was just sitting there doing nothing and I asked if he could ring out our bill. This is when things got weird, he rudely told us the waitress had to ring our ticket, so we headed back to our table. The waitress met us there shortly after and told us to follow her to the register. After complaining to her about the hostess, he came over and told us he wasn't lazy and that he was getting over the flu (not a reason to be rude to a customer). My wife mumbled something about not coming back and he said "Please don't". I got the feeling he didn't care if this placed stayed open or not. read more

Great Food! I ordered online from yelp app by Grubhub. Food was delicious. Hot and fresh! Ready on time as promised!

My husband and I have ordered their chicken fried steak skillet and California skillet to go several times in the past few weeks during quarantine. Our dishes have always been on point. Also they have a super friendly staff and fast speed of service. read more

I love Village Inn normally but my last visit was just disappointing. I definitely will return as everyone has a bad day. Overall the food is generally the tops in their category. read more

No disrespect to this location but to all. Village Inn had offered free pie Wednesday with any purchase. With that is old guys would meet on Wednesday, have coffee and receive a free pie. We would also leave a great trip to the nice ladies who waited on us.we found out too late that is no longer the case....you have to order a meal and drink. How much can a pie cost to eliminate this? As for the gang, we will now go to IHOP.... Denny's or anyplace but here. Nice job management, hopefully Santa will leave you a mere piece of coal. read more

I visited this location today. It was very clean. The service was great. The waitress we had was very nice. The food was delivered in a timely manner. I would go back! read more

I agree with Brad G. - this is definitely NOT a real diner, so if that's what you're looking for, don't even think about coming here. The food is too salty, too greasy, and generally mediocre. (I get dragged here for breakfast sometimes because my mom likes the hash-browns.) If you must go, get fried eggs, toast with jam, and bacon or sausage. They won't be great, but at least they won't be totally destroyed, which just about everything else you get here will be. Same principle applies to the grilled chicken sandwich at lunch and dinner. read more

VILLAGE INN 138TH MAPLE ST Well let's start off with the fact that when my family and I were seated we were seated right under BIG HAIRY BLACK MOLD! look up their whole ceiling has back mold spots growing on it! It's disgusting! I can only imagine what the kitchen must look like.... this place is very unclean plus our food was served cold and unseasoned service took way too long read more

Everything about this place is completely average. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. There have got to be better options available. I had the breakfast burrito. read more

Really bad experience. Cold restaurant and when we asked to turn up the heat server said "No." Order came out after waiting 45 minutes incomplete, some items not available, some items burned & cold soup at 6:45pm. There were 6 tables seated with 2 servers and a manager. Was told that the rest of the order would be coming out soon and would get a discount. Neither happened. Bathroom looked like someone spayed it with feces. I know it's hard to get Help in Omaha but please. Such a bad experience. Perkins is right across the street. Should have gone there or anywhere else. read more

Went here for a late lunch with my family. We had just put our orders in when an elderly woman ran into the building with her car right where we were sitting! Scared the crap out of us. I didn't know the extent of her injuries, if any, to her or her passenger so I called 911 to be safe. I went outside to better answer their questions and assess. The woman who I believe was the manager (she was dressed differently than the wait staff) was apparently a relative and basically snapped at me for calling 911! We heard from the wait staff this was the SECOND time this person has run into the building. This manager didn't check on us, ask if we were ok or anything. Our waitress, Liz, was amazing and couldn't have been sweeter. Get a new manager for this location before her relatives kill someone. read more

In all fairness, we had a coupon. So if we hadn't, not sure we would have come in. It was busy but were seated right away. Staff was pleasant. Ordered the VIP with French toast, hash browns, 2 egg and cheese omelet and bacon. It was served quickly. It was good but wouldn't say it was memorable or outstanding. Just a basic breakfast I didn't have to cook myself. read more

This chain started as Village Inn Pancake House and this location opened in 1972, undergoing two renovations since. The menu is broader than it was originally, when it was 75% breakfast items. Breakfast is still VI's strong suit, as are its pies. Pancakes are good, as are eggs, hashbrowns, and omelettes. My personal favorite is the strawberry blintzes. If you're looking for gourmet cooking--breakfast or otherwise--go somewhere else. If you want a filling, solid meal, then you should like Village Inn. read more

I really enjoyed my food here. I'd never eaten here before. The place was empty I took off a star since they sat someone right on the other side of us which annoyed me in a near empty restaurant. But the service was great, food was hot, and a great value. read more

So we have eaten at, and ordered from this location quite a bit in the past. We ordered it today after a few months. When I got home with the order and we were prepping our food to eat we noticed that our buns were burnt. My husband called and asked to speak to a manager. He told her about the sandwiches and let her know that it's not ok to send that out to a customer and it tastes horrible. She proceeded to tell us that her cook said he didn't burn them (duh) and that we'd have to bring them in to prove it to her. Like we're just out to lie and get something out of it...wtf... We offered to send her a picture, because we have children at home eating, and do not exactly live super close. She just continued to be very disrespectful and told us we were lying and refused to provide any sort of customer service. No apology, not acknowledging the issue. It is not our fault you guys messed up but you made us feel like we were doing something wrong. We will never go to this location again, and would advise anyone else the same. There are lots of locations in town that have way better service! read more

I don't know if when I went I got a bad waitress or it was her first day but from start to finish this was a horrible experience. First I ordered a water to drink I was served the water in a clearly dirty glass stuff stuck to the inside and floating around and it took her twenty minutes to come back and take our order and another ten minutes to replace my dirty water glass then once the food came we were missing things which were never corrected although we asked several times and just gave up. Then we never got our glasses refilled I finally had to ask a different waitress to fill my glass who was more then happy to do so. Then we were finished eating for twenty minutes before she brought our bill it was a terrible experience and I honestly don't think I'll ever return to this location I've never been so frustrated while going out to eat! read more
