Hanging with friends in Alpharetta and decided not to cook dinner and selected the Village Tavern. The Reuben sandwich was constructed nicely with shaved corned beef with thousand island dressing as well as sliced tomatoes & lettuce. The meat was tender & flavorful and the marble bread used for the sandwich was bold in flavor and soft. The other folks in the party all had salad with grilled chicken breast and they said the chicken was tender and moist and the greens used were fresh and crisp. The service was very good and the feel of the restaurant is very chill. If wanting pub food good spot to give a try! Enjoy! read more

The Village Tavern was FANTASTIC! From the ambiance to the waiter and the food - top notch (we had Arthur, and he was attentive, considerate, and kind). We were visiting Alpharetta for a conference and this was our favorite restaurant - we ate in the Avalon area multiple times, and those were not nearly as good as the Village Tavern. We ordered the homemade chips with ranch and buffalo sauces for an app. I got the shrimp/grits, and my friends got a Mediterranean bowl, clam chowder, and a garden salad. I finished my meal off with the peanut butter chocolate pie - divine! I recommend the Village Tavern 100%! We will be returning next year! read more

Excellent friendly service at the table, good sized portions. Food quality was a little inconsistent. A few orders at the table were mixed up, with one forgotten. Dining area a bit loud. Nothing that ruined the night, of course. Ample parking. Probably won't return but it was a reasonable dining experience for the circumstances. Felt like a chain. Not surprising. read more

The food was a 10/10. The French Onion dip was fingerlicking good! The chips were made in house from fresh potatoes. My cheeseburger was cooked to perfection. The sweet potato fries stole the show, crispy and soft at the same time. Marie was amazing and was very attentive to us. The environment is warm and comfortable, matches the home cooked vibe. read more

Village Tavern - Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato Fries - New American Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

We had a nice experience overall at Village Tavern. There was a mix-up with our peanut allergy note on the reservation, but the manager and our server were both really nice and got the situation corrected quickly, which we really appreciated. The food was mostly great -- the French onion soup was flavorful, and the calamari had a good spicy kick. The mac and cheese was so good with that crispy breading on top. The steak and asparagus were cooked well, and the sweet potato fries were tasty, though a little too sweet -- they really don't need extra sugar. The mashed potatoes had good flavor but could've been a bit creamier. The martinis were good. The water had a strange taste, the Sprite tasted more like 7UP, and the glassware was a bit sticky, which was noticeable. Overall, good food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. The staff handled our allergy situation really well, which made the visit much better. A few small details could be improved, but we'd come back again. read more

Not a great visit, reviews were good so we went for our anniversary. Obviously our waitress wasn't in the mood. Not friendly, not helpful. It was Sunday evening 8:00 and very empty. Steak had good flavor, broccoli and asparagus no seasoning, bland. Not a $135 dinner for sure. read more

The food was amazing that was the best part. I am not sure what was wrong with the wait staff and hosts on 10.9.26 but they we not friendly at all. They were very friendly with each other at the hostess stand but as a customer asking a question where the restroom was they were very aggravated with me for bothering them. Also, one of the people in our party needed a gluten free menu and it was a burden for our server to get one. You should ask when you're seating customers if anyone needs a gluten free menu. She got a salad and they put a muffin on her salad that wasn't gluten free. Again, when we asked about the muffin the server was aggravated with us but went and had the salad remade. If you're food is amazing your staff should be as well. read more

My husband and I recently discovered Village Tavern on a whim not even a month ago, and we've been back 3 times already. This place is amazing! They offer so many food options and also a great Happy Hour selection. The interior reminds me of Fort Wilderness Lodge. For those that are Disney fans, you'll understand the reference. The location can get quite busy, but there is plenty of seating to handle large crowds both indoor and outdoor. The staff is amazing. We've never had someone help us that isn't polite or ready to give A+ service. I've tried so many things on the menu from their appetizers, to their dinner options, and ultimately their happy hour offerings. My current favorite appetizer is the Flash Fried Calamari. So flavorful and honestly I never want to share with my husband - it's THAT GOOD. The Happy Hour options are so filling and easily could satisfy a dinner craving for those that aren't super hungry. Try their Tuna Poke or their Firecracker Shrimp Tacos - both are AMAZING! read more

The food was excellent with good portions. Everything was fresh & tasty. The short ribs dish was a very large portion. The butter cake for dessert was delicious! This is our go-to place to celebrate birthdays & anniversaries. Service was a little slow for being a Monday night though. The music level was just right & we could actually hear each other when talking! Highly recommend! read more

We are visiting family and they wanted to take us out for dinner at the Village Tavern. Overall I would say our entire experience was meh. We ordered drinks but half the table ordered bar drinks that took forever to arrive. We ordered the onion dip and spinach dip for apps. The onion dip was missing onion and the spinach dip was blah, not much flavor. For our main I had the pimento blt which was really good but the fries were dull. Unfortunately my husband had the short ribs and they were horrible. They were drier than sawdust. My mother had a burger which was okay. My uncle enjoyed his fish and my grandmother enjoyed her ahi tuna. My aunt also had the blt and again it was very good. Unfortunately the meal as a whole just didn't measure up to the beautiful atmosphere. read more

Great atmosphere, but I was less than blown away by my foot. We did have a large table and I think they struggled with timing. I unfortunately wanted a wood fired pizza. Which was almost cold when the food came out. I will say I had fries off of several other plates and those were the best fries I have had in years. I will go back again it was ant to try the burger and get some more of those fries. Overall great place and really great service. read more

So, I decided to come back here since I had a good experience the first time and the food was good. I wasn't really impressed this time around, unfortunately. Service was incredibly slow. We ordered the crab dip, and honestly, I couldn't taste much of anything. I apps got the crabcakes as my entree and it was the same thing, no taste. My husband got the fish and chips and he didn't really enjoy it. The fish was had an overwhelming oil taste to it. I genuinely think this is a good spot for a family dinner, but I wasn't happy with the seafood here. Server was nice. read more

After a visit to the North Lake Mall we were looking for a place nearby for dinner and Village Tavern came up in Yelp. We decided to try it and we were happy we did. The menu was varied and what we ordered was excellent. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The tavern part of the name was a little understated as the ambience was more like fine dining. And the prices were reasonable. read more

This has been my one our families' favorite lunch / dinner spots for years. Always great service , consistent food flavor, and relaxed atmosphere. Whether you want to sit in the full service spacious bar with tables , booths and hightops or dinner on the patio or inside dining area you will be satisfied. I am from NC where the restaurant originated and has been a go to spot for several outings. Give it a try if you have not. read more

Food and service was faster than fast food. Our food was amazing and our waiter was attentive and friendly

We visited this evening to celebrate an anniversary. We won't be back. We ordered a medium filet, mashed potatoes and spinach. The steak was closer to well done. The potatoes were cold, and the spinach was swimming in a puddle of olive oil. Nothing pretty or special. Also, they asked on the front end if we were celebrating anything to which we noted the occasion. Bread was "available on request." It was not offered until we asked, so we skipped it since dinner had arrived. And re; the anniversary, a cupcake with a candle would've been a delightful surprise, but. It was never even mentioned either. So why ask. We've had less expensive and more delicious food at chain restaurants. Service was "down to business." However we could tell our server was in pain and likely had to work in spite of it, so we tipped our 20% and overlooked it all. The good news is we didn't overeat. read more

Food is okay - one burger was great but not the other. Fries were very good. Pizza was gross. Shrimp and grits were okay, sauce wasn't great. Bars drinks were great and came out fast. Our server was awful. It took forever for us to be able to put our drink orders in and then she almost ran away when we were trying to tell her we were ready to put our food orders in too. The food came out fast but then it was impossible to get drink refills - when we finally flagged her down, she quickly refill one drink and ran away ignoring the rest! We were long done when we finally were able to ask for the check. I might come back in the future but I would definitely check out other restaurants in the area first. read more

Their Mediaterian Bowl has a mixture of Kale a Super Food, Grapes,Cheese,Cashews and Grilled Chicken Dish (WOW!!!!) it is a (Fantastic) very filling meal.And they sit you down right away when you have made Reservations ahead of time but there music is very much too loud and it makes you to hear the other's sitting around the table read more

Village Tavern - New American Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

I have been going here with my family ever since I was a child. It is truly a long standing neighborhood staple. Still quite busy even though it's been around forever, so that says something about this place. Bar area was busy with a more casual crowd. We ate on the dining room side. Service was properly attentive for a place of this caliber. Wide selection of what they call martinis but I call cosmos. Berry one much better than the pear one. Drinks similarly priced to other restaurants in the area. Our food did take a while to come out, but again, the place was quite crowded so not a big surprise.This is a place to go to linger and enjoy the ambiance and company, not to rush in and out of. My pork chop was perfectly cooked, just enough to get the pink out and still remain moist. Chutney definitely added flavor to otherwise benign mashed potatoes and green beans. I would order it again. I also love their grilled chicken Caesar salad. Tons of seating available (tables and booths), and they do take reservations for larger parties. read more

We have lived in Alpharetta since 1991. Village Tavern has always been a favorite! Tonight Cindy and Jannet took great care of us. Cindy seems to work endless hours. She works hard but remains kind and professional. Food never disappoints! My hubby had trout which is one of our favorites and I ordered hot crab dip. Both meals were delicious! read more

Not the same VT. My husband and I moved to Alpharetta 14 years ago and have been frequent patrons. The ambiance is wonderful, service is always good, and the food WAS consistent. Our food has been hit and miss for the past couple of years but we always go back thinking it was an anomaly. Their burgers were the best in town. Seems like they can't cook them to your requested temp anymore. We have returned them more often than not. There again tonight and the calamari was over cooked to rubber and the Cesar dressing was awful. We were told it was changed recently and no one likes it. Clearly no consistency in the kitchen. I want to stress - service is always attentive and concerned when something isn't perfect. The servers always want to make it right!!! Please VT - focus on the kitchen. read more

I came again on a business trip to Alpharetta back in September and came for lunch with a group of coworkers. Our party came staggered as two of our group were running late due to a meeting going over the allotted time. Laurel, our waitress was super cool about it and just cool in general. We ordered for our coworkers as they texted us what they wanted. The food was delicious, the service excellent. When Laurel came with our bill she had a collection of different colored pens for us to choose from... was like a rainbow. I thought that was neat! Cool place! Great food! Great Service! read more

Go to date night place. We really like this place. It has a nice, upbeat atmosphere, a fun place. I would have given it 5 stars, except have had some undercooked and overcooked burgers and steaks here. Despite that, we will always go back on occasion. read more

This place is always packed for lunch. I just don't get it... are we starved for good places to eat around here. This is ok... it is by far not great! I had a Greek salad that was void of much besides lettuce. Including the dressing. I mean it was ok but it was very minimal and they still charged mint for basically lettuce. Service was good. They are always on top of it. My deal is that the food is just ok... it really is nothing special. My team continues to come here... I guess for convenance sake? This would not be my 1st, 4th or even 10th option... there are just so many better places! read more

This restaurant had its own parking and it's an independent building. We started off with drinks where we had a old fashion and they did it right the first time with a single large cube of ice. But when ordering it again, the second time they just did standard amount of tons of ice instead. So they know how to do it, but not more than once the food was good we ordered the chicken and also the Braves short ribs. The short ribs were very good. Service was decent. They were training new staff, so it was a little bit of extra guidance from us to them but it still worked out OK overall a good experience would come back again. read more

I used to come here a lot back in the day and was always happy. Unfortunately this evening was horrible. It wasn't very busy and yet the service was terrible. At one point the bartender was so busy talking to 3 regulars or friends ‍ my drink sat empty for 15 minutes too long. Also when I questioned the length of time it was taking to get our appetizer I was told, "we have a couple large parties!". Oh, well excuse me, I'm sorry for coming into your restaurant and taking away time from the VIP large parties. Maybe you should close when you have large parties so the rest of your guests don't waste time and money for a horrible experience. read more

Food and service was excellent. I eat here a lot. My favorite is the steak and lemon martinis

Shrinkflation has mad it to VT. As a regular patron it's very recognizable when your food shows up far smaller than before for the same price. Caesar salad portions have shrunk. And their pizzas (says pizza on menu and not flatbread) have become tiny flatbreads probably 1/2 the size of their prior pizza. Disappointed. read more

VT offered consistently good food (not great) for years. But their kitchen has declined and they now send out inedible food. Recently ordered shrimp and grits. The shrimp had a musky flavor to it and the "gravy" was two inches of grease saturating overcooked grits. Hamburgers were undercooked. read more

Long standing go-to for a great atmosphere, expansive menu and big portions. Staff is friendly and attentive.

My wife and I went there the day after Valentine's Day (we don't go out on the 14th because the restaurants are a nightmare, but that's a rant for a different time). We had made reservations and were seated right away. Our server, Justin, was excellent. We liked how he would do a drive by replacement for her Diet Cokes when they got low. He'd walk by quickly and drop off a new glass without even stopping. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife ordered the shrimp and grits. I asked for a side of sweet potato fries. A minute later my wife asked why I ordered that when the "chips" in fish and chips are fries. I told her it's because I'm stupid. Fortunately, Justin interpreted my request as asking for substituting the regular fries with the sweet potato fries. The batter on the fish was crisp and tasty. However, everything else was just OK. The fish was bland, and the tartar sauce did nothing to enhance the flavor until I put a little bit of pepper in it. The coleslaw was also tasteless. The fries were good but got soggy quickly. Before ordering the shrimp and grits, my wife asked Justin if they were spicy (she doesn't like spicy). Justin said they were a little spicy, but they could adjust that, which they did. It's too bad she doesn't like spicy because that would have been the only interesting thing about the dish. It, like almost everything else we ate that night, was bland. We had the caramel sundae for dessert. the ice cream had ice chips in it (what was the deal with it with chips that night?), so we did not finish it. To summarize, service was great, and food was meh. read more

What a cozy little spot!!! My family and I came here and got seated next to the giant fireplace. We ordered the French Onion dip- with their house chips, which was really yummy. Prime rib was out of this world! Our waitress was very kind. Overall, we would definitely come back. read more

Visited for an early lunch, on Monday, and the wait staff was prompt and professional. I ordered the Cobb Salad, with blue cheese dressing. It was huge and enticing. Unfortunately, it was too salty to enjoy, and I believe it was prepared with ranch dressing, rather than the requested blue cheese. When clearing the table, the waiter offered to bring another dish, but I was on my way out and declined. read more

My actual rating is 3.5/5 I went to the village tavern with my family on Friday for dinner and liked the ambiance. It was brimming with people and looked like a good place for family or date nights. Here is the summary of my experience there: Ambiance: 5/5: I really like the decor and atmosphere. It gave a posh vibe where you can take your family and dates for a romantic dinner. Service: 4/5: The service was good and the servers were delightful. I saw they amicably solve a slight bickering with a customer without disturbing other customers. The only problem I felt was that bread was not served unless we asked for it. I also liked the fact that they did split my food into two and brought it when we asked for it. Food 3/5: This rating is based on my first-time experience and might change in the future. Here is the summary of the food I had: 1. Brick chicken: The chicken was undercooked and difficult to slice through. Also, I did not feel it was crisp as the menu said. The garlic mashed potato was a good side to it. Also, it was pricy for the portion. You can share it with 2 people if you are mildly hungry but I would suggest a complete order for yourself if you are really hungry. 2. The fries which were served were soggy. My golden standard for fries is McDonald's fries which I love and these were not at par with it. Additionally, I felt the menu did not have a lot of chicken-only items. Anything that had chicken in it was also accompanied by either bacon or beef. It would be great if I can order chicken-only items in the main course as well. Value for Money 3/5: I felt the place is pricey and on the heavier side of the pocket. I would not go here if you want to have a quick dinner or lunch but will recommend if you want to have an exquisite lunch with friends or your special one Overall the food was okay but the ambiance and service were good. I would love to visit again if they can add some more chicken-only/ Vegetarian items. read more

Village Tavern has long been a work lunch go-to for the variety and quality of food and the quick yet friendly service. The past 2 visits have been a huge departure in service and food. I'm not sure if the staff is overwhelmed or just new, but the service has been a mess. On one occasion, we were seated and no one came to our table. After approximately 10 minutes we flagged a waitress down and she got our server. It seemed like no one had been assigned our table of 6. On the most recent visit, service was ok until it was time to pay. We finished our meals and were ready to pay, but our waiter disappeared. On to the food... I recently ordered a salad and it was sitting in dressing. When it arrived, the lettuce was already soggy. This is when I knew the food had also taken a turn for the worst. In the past, the food wasn't anything spectacular, but it was tasty and consistently prepared well. I hope the past few visits to Village Tavern have just been a couple mishaps and it gets back to the quality we long enjoyed. read more

I've come here a number of times and really enjoyed it! The most recent time we came here, I made a lunch reservation for a party of 10. As soon as we arrived, our table was ready and we sat down right away. Our server was phenomenal and super fast. We ordered a number of appetizers which came out within minutes of ordering them. We ordered the Caprese and fried Calamari. Both appetizers were fresh and delicious! I ordered the Fresh Catch of the Day: Mahi Mahi Hemingway. The Mahi Mahi was grilled in a white wine and butter sauce. It came with green beans and sautéed green beans. The dish was fantastic! Everyone at our table enjoyed their entrees as well. They really liked the fig jam burger, the Cuban sandwich, and the Salmon sandwich. I look forward to coming back again soon and definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner! read more
