Village Inn

I eat here regularly. It’s a chain restaurant and it’s a Village Inn. My expectations are in line with both. As a former bar and grill owner my perspective is different. It’s clean, well managed and usually busy. A good sign. Staff is very friendly, as is the manager. After eating here a dozen times it’s become one of my go to places. Food quality is very good, it’s consistent and of course there’s the pie. Staff is always accommodating with substitutions and happy to chat and joke with with patrons if they have time. It appears to be a happy work environment with many regular customers.

Not bad for a chain of 50’s restaurants. I have other choices first but sometimes you just crave a little sloppy mess!

I was greeted by a host by the name of Dionte. He kept great eye contact, kept me aware of when I would be seated and was very warm and kind. I have not experienced this at a village inn before. Thanks for hiring people that are so good at customer service!

It’s just another ihop with creative pies instead of the creative pancakes. Nice to relax and just chill and catch up. Pies are good.

We love this place. The manager guy who is usually there at night, when we go, is super nice. The rest of the staff can be hit or miss, but I’ve usually had a pleasant experience here with them. The food… some of it is great and some is mediocre. U love their breakfast menu, personally. My husband likes the regular dinner menu. I think the pies are overrated, though.

2 stars coz I got food to eat on Christmas Eve (as most restaurants r closed after 7pm) and respect for ppl who work on this day ! Stale food (potatoes and coffee was cold), late service. They have an offer where u get a free pie on every Wednesday’s., wasn’t good at all. Having a tummy upset. This was my first visit to a Village inn., dont think will go back until I have no choice.

I am from Denver (now living in Nashville) home town for Village Inn and you cannot beat the Village Inn Breakfast for value, taste, and service.
The food is great, the portions are great, and the staff will go out of their way to accommodate the customers.
The pies cannot be beat anywhere in the area. It is a great place to come for pie & coffee as well. Visitors in the Denver area need to visit or miss out on a great place to eat at reasonable prices. VIB — ROCKS. pie too…

Village Inn is a chain, yes. Chain restaurants are never amazing, yes.
Having said that, this place has become my go to breakfast spot in my area, admittedly partially because I’m in ‘burbia and away from all the cool local spots in Denver proper.
Three reasons I love this place:
–Cheap
–Delicious
–Great, quick service
You can be in and out in less than an hour and still get a nice hot breakfast. That’s pretty cool.
If you’re in the area and looking for good, cheap breakfast with great service… look no further.
One final note-​they offer take out and breakfast all day. Translation? If you’re craving flapjacks, bacon, and eggs at 8 at night, just give them a call and it can happen. Score!

I love these restaurants! I live in CA now and this is one of the restaurants I miss!
I love their food and pie. Also they have the mini Dum Dums! The wait staff is always excellent!

Took the family to this VI on Parker. The waiter was clueless and I was not impressed with the food. My wife asked for the sandwich w/​o dressing which had dressing when it showed up, had to re-​order 2 other items due to being out, and the waiter kept forgetting things all around our table. I think his most spoken word was sorry. It took us 3 tries to ask if they had a pie. My skillet was not the greatest and the wife never ate much of the turkey sandwich. Not the VI experience I’m used to and certainly not as good as the VI in Thornton.

So I am standing in the yard this morning waiting for my Rent-​a-​Dog to stop playing in the leaves so I could get myself to work and it hit me. I’m hungry! I didn’t want the normal whatever was open at 5:30 in the morning fast muffin thing. Then it hit me, there’s a Village Inn on my way to work since I am on this side of town now.
Entry trusty Unilocal App… Look them up and give a call. I guess before it never dawned on me that you can call in an order for pick up. This made me happy, very happy.
It took a few rings for them to pick up the phone as it was ugly early for everyone involved. Then I was stumped, what the heck did I actually want? I remembered they made Potato Pancakes, yes that would do nicely. Well since I had been there last they expanded their Potato Pancake offerings. They now have Southwest ones and something that my attention Potato Pancakes with Sausage and Gravy. It’s also served with eggs and some fruit. No eggs thanks, so they included a little extra sausage and some extra fruit.
That would do nicely for sure. A little heavy for the hour, but the good thing is once you have it you can eat it when you actually get to it. In my case it was closer to 8 when it actually was consumed.
By the time I arrived at the location, there was my breakfast all bagged up and ready to go. I was able to quickly pay and get back on the road to work. For me it’s a great special occasion alternative when I am not in my normal place or just want a little something different and can’t sit and eat. It’s nice to know there is something more than just the Golden Arches or BK before 6 am.
Give it a try if you’re out and about early or even late!

Every time I’ve come here the food’s been tasteless, service has been horrible, and I’ve gotten stomach ache’s after the «meal». The staff is truly rude, they don’t care about their customers at all. Last time I came here, I was so appalled that I actually had to leave before my meal even came to the table. When we were seated the waiter whistled at us like dogs in order to get our attention to ask if we wanted water. Afterwards, he came back after 15 minutes, mind you the restaurant was NOT busy, and he was almost throwing the waters on the table and spilled some on my lap and did not even apologize or acknowledge the fact that he has spilled it on me! And we asked if we could get some straws. After about 10 minutes, he came in and threw the straws at us one by one. That was the last ‘straw’ and we left. Would Definitely not recommend!

As others have noted, if you don’t expect much, you won’t be disappointed. I usually go after a long day at work, as I know I can get seated quickly, will get my food in a reasonable amount of time, get a decent piece of pie to take home, and be able to stick in my ear buds and watch my IPad. The last two times I have been here, the food was below my usual expectations (if you go, stick to breakfast items) and once the food was delivered, my server was vacant. Tonight, I was never offered any pie, had no drink refill service, and never had my table bussed. This will be my last time to eat here. I decided that I can go to another restaurant and if I’m treated in the same manner, at least it will be better food!

Ooohhh delicious breakfast delights!!!
Came here on Monday with my husband for lunch. It was his way of getting out of cooking for me. After moving here, all I heard was how delicious their breakfasts are and I finally got to test it out!
The location wasn’t very busy and we were seated immediately. I like the décor! It reminds me of the Curtis hotel downtown. Everything is very bright and retro and looks recently updated. The menu is huge and there is no shortage of breakfast delights. They also offer a flat price and you can choose four items from a list.
I had the ‘it’s all greek to me’ omelette, which normally comes with granola and yogurt, and multigrain pancakes. They were out of yogurt and so I had a side of fruit instead. The omelette was delicious and filled with artichokes, spinach, peppers, and cheese. The fruit was pineapple, grapes, and honeydew and was nice and sweet. The pancakes were my favorite part. They’re spicy with cinnamon and so amazingly fluffy and delicious. There was more than enough food and it was all fabulous.
My husband had the combo meal and had the cheese omelette, bacon, hashbrowns, and french toast. He was very pleased with it all and managed to eat most of it.
Overall, service was fabulous and very prompt. Breakfast for the two of us was only ~$ 30 with tip and I’ll definitely be back! Especially as I saw there’s turkey sausage on the menu! Yippee!

We have been coming to this location for awhile. There has been ups and down on services. During that time, there was a server named Holly and she always provided execellent services. We actually asked for her tables when things got real bad. the host/​es thought that was kinda odd.
witht the new renovations (pastel oranges anyone?) and new management, the service has been consistenly good. place is kept clean and bright and the rest of the team members seem to be happy working here.
Holly still works here and anytime we get her table, we know we are in good hands.
Keep up the good work Holly, you set the standard in great service!
Free pie Wednesdays!

Had my first and last Village Inn experience a few days ago! The décor is nice and modern, not what i was expecting! (this was the only pleasant part) The server wasn’t very polite, and her uniform was pretty dirty as was the coffee pot she left at our table. It took 20+ mins to get our food and my wifes french toast came out cold. My biscuits were as dry as it gets! In my opinion the food was ok at best. IHOP just down the street is a better bang for your buck!

Village in is consistent with the food, the service and the prices. The food is always tasting good, nothing exceptional. I like the Pies those are always fresh and delicious. And they never fuss when you order take out.

For a VI, todays experience was quite good. The first impressive move was that our salads came with the dressing on the side. All of our food came out consistant and good. The server was attentive, but not overbearing. Our drinks stayed full. It seems to be a consistantly good location for us.

Keep your expectations low… real low.
The manager who greeted us was great, but that was really about it. The food was, blah! The waitress didn’t pay attention to order details and by the end of the meal, I was wishing we had gone to KFC.
Not super terrible, just not great. I suppose if you don’t expect much, then it is OK.
