Homey spot with good food and great service. I had the special: veggie Benedict. The hash browns were perfect with the scrambled eggs and toast. read more

Staff was wonderful today when we stopped by for a late breakfast. Attentive. Polite. Timely. Appreciated the professionalism. The corned beef omelet was average, however. Plain. Uninspiring. The meat lover breakfast burrito was strangely smoking hot when brought out. The microwave must have been working hard. Just ridiculously hot. Taste? Average. Meat seemed light. Not a bad place. 3* meal. Staff earned a better rating. (Took care of that with the tip). Kudos to the wait staff. read more

Really good food, fairly priced, good service. Gets a bit busy on Sundays. There was no wait when I came. Of course free refills on the coffee and tea. read more

The food was amazing We didn't have to wait for it. It was hot and my pancakes were out of this world My husband had an omelette. He said he loved every bite of it. The toast was really good. It tasted like it was homemade. Service was very fast. Our waitress knew what she was talking about. She recommended what we ate and we were very happy. I definitely recommend the VILLAGE KITCHEN. read more

I was excited to try this place given that it was a few minutes from our house. There was plenty of parking and we were sat right away. The food was good with huge portions. Not fancy, but solid which is what you want sometimes for breakfast. It had a small town diner feel and the service was excellent. My coffee was consistently replenished and we were attended to appropriately. Pancakes were huge, fluffy, and delicious. Bacon and sausage were perfectly prepared. All the food was excellent. The only negative was that there was no splenda for the coffee only sweet-n-low and equal. Otherwise, everything was great. Will be back. read more

So, so good. We missed hotel breakfast this morning and so far, that was the best thing that happened today, cause it landed us here. Spacious dining room, lots of booth seating. Good service. Breakfast here was really, really good. Everything. Omelette, scramble, Benny, even the biscuits, and the English muffin in the Benny. They have daily specials, then hand written boards with seasonal specials, and I don't know what to call them, "special specials" perhaps? Spotted the hostess taking pictures of the hand written board when we came in, I peeked at the Facebook page and saw it's posted there in case you want to get a look at it before you go. Only open 8a-3p read more

Popular weekend breakfast spot serving omelets, skillets, pancakes and biscuits. Daily specials are on the board - if you see any quiches on the list, I wouldn't pass them up. My bacon, broccoli and cheddar quiche came with a small bowl of fresh fruit. Hearty biscuits and gravy is great with a side of sausage links. Good selection of omelets. My coffee cup always stays full, no matter how busy they are. Plenty of parking. read more

Village Kitchen - Broccoli bacon cheddar quiche with fruit - American Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Pre-pandemic, my husband and I would hit Village Kitchen on more than a few weekends a month for an affordable and tasty breakfast. We'd pull up a booth, catch up on the news over coffee and pancakes, and enjoy a leisurely meal together. Alas, given the pandemic, we've not been able to enjoy this ritual since February but takeout here has allowed us to bring it into our own home. Now, they don't have a fancy online ordering system, but a quick call and payment over the phone is easy (especially if you're regulars like us and already know what you'll be ordering) and they have curbside pick up if you want an easy, and safe experience. Our food arrived hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked as we had experienced during our in person visits. This time we had to make our own coffee but aside from that, we enjoyed an authentic Village Kitchen experience in the safety of our own home. We'll definitely be doing this again and again and again to come! read more

This is perfection when you're in need of breakfast comfort food in generous serving size. My meat lover omelet was fantastic! Great hot coffee. Service is fast, yet warm and welcoming. I guess it takes a village read more

I ate here for the first time for breakfast this morning. It has typical diner-type fare, so I ordered what I would typically order at this type of place: omelet with cheddar cheese and mushrooms. While they had many much more interesting options on the menu than what I chose to order, this was what suited my mood and met my expectations. The omelet came with a generous serving of hash browns and toast. I prefer to sit in booths when dining with friends, and I was thankful that this place had plenty. The restaurant was packed as it was a game day, and I was thankful to see that additional staff showed up to help the waitress who was run ragged with all the patrons. This place is definitely worth a visit if you're after a decent breakfast. I hear the quiche is quite good...I'll give that a try the next time I visit. read more

This is our "go to" diner for breakfast. The food is consistently good and the service is very friendly. We've never been disappointed with something we've ordered at the Village Kitchen! read more

Do Not be dis outages by the exterior of the building. This is not a Smokey greasy spoon. Although it's a diner it is very clean and pleasant inside. Janice Janice, that's the server you wish to have. Very pleasant happy and attentive. We enjoyed our breakfasts. Village Benny for me. Local Dearborn ham with avocado slices. I will return. read more

Okay, I never give out 5 stars. I'm giving this place 5 stars. The reason? Everything! The food is the best diner food I have ever had. The staff was friendly and supper knowledgeable about the menu. The place wasn't fancy, but nice. I'm telling you I had the Sid, Turkey Ruben and it was as the best I have ever had. They maKe homemade biscuits from scratch as big as a saucer. A must go to in Ann Arbor. read more

Took the family to eat here and were quickly seated. Serving staff was nice, but the food left a lot to be desired. The hippie hash was great, but the chorizo Eggs Benedict was not good. The hash browns were decent, but the pancakes were a let down, very sweet but one was soggy and the other was crispy due to all the butter it was swimming in with an extra scoop of butter on top. TL;DR the food is inconsistent. As four people, we paid $70+ for mediocre food and were charged $.50 for a takeout box but not a bag, ironically. Not worth it to pay this much for mediocre diner food with kitschy ambiance. read more

This place is amazing! It has a huge menu, extremely kind waiters, and there was food I didn't even know existed. I got hot chocolate which was so delicious. I also got pancakes with cherry's, chocolate chips, and whip cream. It was the best thing I ever tasted!! I recommend this place, it is also the first place that I did a Yelp review on. I live in New York and came here to Michigan but now I am willing to come here again just to come to this place. read more

Very disappointed. I went in there today with my husband and two kids. My kids were being kids but ultimately okay. After 30 min The server brought my kids pancakes out first while we wait for our food to finish. Pancakes were Luke warm - which was fine for a kid. But thought it was interesting that she told us to be careful it was a hot plate? We Waited another 10 minutes and we were each brought out cold Benedict's. Hollandaise sauce was thick and cold. Potatoes were half cooked. This was after 40-45 min after we ordered. Several staff members were standing around/on their phones. On busy weekends they should be running the food to help our servers. Ultimately we had to leave, hungry and very unhappy. I didn't have time to wait for new food as both my kids were over it at that point, and quite honestly so was I. read more

One of my go to breakfast spots in Ann Arbor. Tasty, fast, affordable and easy parking. The space is bright, the booths comfy and the oldies on the radio just add to the warmth of the place. Highly reccomended/ read more

I will preface this review by admitting that I might be biased. I came here after running a 5K race on an empty stomach in the morning, so I would have eaten anything! And I nearly finished my plate of their special salmon eggs benedict, which came with a side of greasy hash browns. The filling, delicious food made it completely worth it to undo all my hard work in training for this 5K. In addition to the food, the setting also reminded me of your classic American diner. I will make sure to go back on a regular day so as to not be influenced by my post-running stomach! As well as keeping this place bookmarked to celebrate future post-5K races. read more

Great local breakfast place. I've been eating here for as long as I can remember. It's gotten a bit pricey but the food is yummy and the wait staff is nice! Most recently I got the strawberry waffle which was perfectly cooked and covered in strawberries and whipped cream. I think their waffles are even good enough for Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec! My favorite part of Village Kitchen is all the local touches. There's a mural of West Park on one of the walls, artwork of local buildings and parks in town, and local sports memorabilia. The artwork never gets old, no matter how many times I've admired it. read more

Amazing food and Service! Friendly and great atmosphere! The pecan waffle with grilled apples-and whipped cream was DELICIOUS! The price was $10.95 but I feel it was well worth it!! read more

Here you go people, one of the best gems in Ann Arbor, great American grill with friendly staff and tasty breakfast and lunch! Rueben's are delicious, breakfast bowls are delicious, home made biscuits the size of your fist! Will definitely keep going back and it doesn't break the bank! We always go to yelp and 4-5 stars is appropriate. read more

This is not a coney island. This is homestyle breakfast and lunch restaurant. This place has totally changed since I last tried it years ago. I was looking for a coney island omelette and decided to try Village Kitchen. A little pricer than a coney island, but I like it. Very friendly greeting, fast service and they were right; the omelettes are really good. Came with toast, and potatoes. Nice surprise to see my take out omelette came with Raspberry jelly and not the crappy grape stuff. I love attention to details. read more

A breakfast staple on the Arbor-town's West side, the 'Kitchen' is located in a large strip mall which means plenty of available parking...always a plus anywhere in the Deuce. I love the mural of downtown A2 on the back wall with many notable landmarks. You'll only find this kind or creativity at an independent like the Village Kitchen. Their menu is pretty much your standard breakfast fare. However, Our server explained that they had just added a few new offerings designed to expand their clientele base. I decided to try one of those "new" entries ...the Avocado Toast, served open-faced on buttered toast with fresh sliced avocado, ripe tomato slices and crisp applewood-smoked bacon topped w/ a pair cooked your way. I found this unique combo of fresh ingredients to be hugely rich and flavorful...a super combo but somewhat difficult to slice into bites to eat. Other than the sliceability factor, this newly added b'fast offering hit the bullseye on this rainy Sunday in the tree-town. Considering the 'just average' level of service we received from the Kitchen's waitstaff, I'm serving up 4 stars for the Village. read more

Come here if you are looking for a local scene and outstanding service. Just outside of campus, this diner caters to the locals of Ann Arbor. Wonderful specials and a breakfast all day kind of vibe. Oh, and great for kids... which is a good thing because my youngest was exceptionally terrible on this day. ‍. Our server immediately picked up on our angst and brought out a coloring book, crayons, and the kids meals as soon as they were up. Some days it truly takes a village. Food is your classic diner special... quick and cheap... geared towards breakfast. Lots of specials on the board and most of the food is locally sourced for a fair price. No complaints with my Greek omelet, and would order again. Pancakes were nice and fluffy and a fan favorite amongst the youngins. My wife didn't love her French toast, speculated that the strawberry sauce was just canned but had a lineup of items she wanted to order. Nice knowing there is a good place this side of town, and will stop in if ever in the area again. read more

This place is a cute little diner style restaurant. We had to quickly grab breakfast and they were fast and good. We both ordered the big breakfast, which came with 2 eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, hash brown and choice of toast. Everything was cooked the way we had ordered it, tasted fresh. The ham was really thick and not like the typical ham slice for say a Dennys or IHOP. read more

We came here with my family and asked for a to go box which the waitress said she would need to charge us for. She also kept forgetting things and was quite rude to us. My sister has autism and she didn't seem to be understanding read more

We came here on a seriously snowy Sunday morning at around 11:45. I'm sure it would have been very busy if we hadn't just gotten a massive dumping of snow, but we were happy to be seated right away. I drive by VK every day but have never stopped inside for breakfast, but I'm glad we did. It's hard to find places to eat without going downtown, and this is a great breakfast spot if you're from the West side and need something hearty and classic. Their menu is a little smaller than Nick's off AA-Saline (our other non-downtown usual spot), but the food was great, the portions were huge and the service was fast. I got a glimpse of the sausage gravy over biscuits which I will definitely have to come back to try. Overall it's a great spot for casual breakfast/brunch without the fuss of downtown on a weekend! read more

Would give 0 stars if it were an option. Customer service was horrible. Almost an hour wait for a breakfast burrito and club sandwich. When the food finally did arrive, we were overcharged for what would be half portions of food anywhere else. Patrons that came in 10 minutes after us were served before us. GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!! read more

HUGE menu! Daily specials....everything we've tried so far has been very good. Can't wait to go go back to try something else!

Yay! Longer hours! This is one of the best places in Ann Arbor for breakfast. Excellent specials, check the board when you come in and the one on the wall. Soup is always good. They always listen when you want your bacon done how you like it. Very relaxing, family style. Reminds me of Big Boy but with good food! Very friendly staff. An Ann Arbor institution! read more

Excellent spot for breakfast/brunch! Hubs and I stopped two days in a row because we really wanted to try more of the menu. Both days were excellent service and yummy food! We'll definitely be back when we come to Ann Arbor. Now for the very detailed folks: Saturday AM: Arrived around 10:30, they were full, but no wait. Sat right away and had a lovely (very happy and perky) waitress! She was very helpful because I had a hard time deciding - everything looked good! Ended up deciding on Phillip's Favorite French toast, which was banana, bacon, and peanut butter. Soooo good. You get a whole banana and three or four big slices of bacon. Batter for the FT was super yummy with some cinnamon maybe; like my mom used to make! Really enjoyed the decadent choice. Hubs had the meat lovers omelet, hash browns, toast and a waffle (he really ate it all ). All were very good. I liked his omelet more than he did; I thought it had the perfect ratio of egg to meat to cheese. He wanted more cheese, but I believe he puts waaaay too much cheese in his omelets, so... the waffle was solid and the hash browns were also good with crispy bits and soft bits to fit any breakfast potato aficionado. Sunday AM: Came around 11:30a. Had to wait about 5 minutes, no biggie. The "boss lady" remembered us and came over to chat about the UM game. Super nice! I ordered the skinny Greek omelet with gyro meat and hash browns. Had a hard time forgoing pumpkin pie pancakes, but really needed to get back on the train of healthier choices. I liked the omelet, but I do wish I'd swapped the feta for American cheese, just an omelet preference for me. It had a lot of tomatoes and spinach, delish! I did add cheese to my hash browns - so good! Hubs ordered the three cheese omelet (see above for his obsession with cheese in omelets) with hash browns and white toast. He liked the omelet but also wished he had subbed out the pepper jack for a different cheese. He said it just overpowered the other cheeses. We will DEFINITELY be back every time we come up for our yearly trek. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Go Blue! read more
