I had to write my first food review because of how disappointing this restaurant was. After over an…read morehour wait, our family could not eat any of our food. The nachos and pizza was inedible. The wings were fine. Both bathrooms were completely trashed, didn't have any toilet paper, and were disgusting. There was no service so it took asking over and over for our food to even come out- when it did we had to carry it to the table ourselves. There was only one other table of customers, so they were not busy - the workers were simply not doing anything besides blaring bad music. This is opposite of other reviews so I'm not sure what happened, but I have never had this bad of a restaurant experience and I would never come here again.

I'd like to thank Chantel and our other server(sorry I didn't get your name), but she was a lovely lady who grew up in CA, you both were so wonderful to talk too. We ordered cheese curds, which were the best I have had in a long time! I got a bacon cheese burger and my husband got the sloppy Joe. Every thing was great. We probably sat in the place for 3 hours, drinking and eating and talking to the locals. There is not a more friendlier atmosphere and group of people.

I always recognize his glasses. He's great. Bartenders are always spot-on. Besides that--I hardly have much of a demand, I just want to know if my burger comes with a patty or is just brisket, as it wasn't very clearly indicated in the "burger box" Super disappointing at such a price point/location. I expect more than being visited twice in nearly 30 minutes and only getting the response of "I don't know" and "I'm not sure" I left after taking two sips of my beer, and was chased out by some manager who FINALLY acknowledged us, only trying to get paid for the single ounce of beer that I consumed, as well as two sips of (warm)unsweetened tea that my grandmother had. It's not often I leave without paying, but if you're not going to acknowledge me and cant be at least a decent host, I'll just be on my way before i get too far in. When you charge $20 for a burger, I would think the service is matching that level of quality. Yes I would like a follow up, too. Because if you got my grandma following me in agreement, there's an issue. Really disappointing, probably won't make the stops like I used to. Place appears to need some quality help.

It's rare to find a place that delivers so well across the board, but Villa Macri nails it every time. A true Granger gem

I want to preface by saying I've been to Villa Macri many times and the dining experience has…read morealways been good. I had a reservation for my large family placed 6 weeks before Mothers Day. Upon arrival, we waited a bit and were told the table wasn't available but would we want 2 large booths across from each other. Because we were all there, and kids were hungry, we gave in. When seated, it was clear that 2 booths weren't large enough. One side crammed 4 people, etc. Flagging our server, I requested another booth because this was unacceptable. This resulted in yet another booth, but our party was so spread apart that it was impossible to interact. This was very disappointing, especially when the reservation was placed so far in advance, and confirmed, and we were paying $39.95 a person with a FIXED gratuity of 20%. (This was a BRUNCH, with no table service except for drinks). What could be done differently? On a busy holiday such as Mothers Day you need to have fixed seating times and adhere to them. I was told the party at our reserved table was finished, but NOT MOVING. Again, not acceptable. If a restaurant requires a credit card to hold the reservation, which this one did, we should expect what we requested. Our dining experience was tarnished because of this, and restaurant management should be prepared to deal with these kinds of incidents.
