Village Inn - Sylvania, Ohio

Haven’t been here in almost ten years and had to stop. The restaurant was clean and had a guy playing the guitar inside. The Buffalo chicken dip is great, wish it came with tortilla chips instead of the bread. The smash burgers were delicious. Service was slow for a Wednesday but we still enjoyed ourselves. The chairs are hard on your bottom for long sits.

i normally never leave reviews but i felt i needed to this time. i ordered the cameo cinnabread & was highly disappointed as the bread had barely any cinnamon on it. i took it back inside & asked if this is how it was supposed to look since the picture is completely different & was told they put the cinnamon in the bread, which wouldnt be a problem if it tasted like there was cinnamon in it , which it doesnt. definitely a waste of money lol

There is always some kind of issue when I come here. The one time, we ordered drinks during happy hour and when the bill came, they would not honor it. Something about fine print that was not actually written anywhere. Another time, we were seated on the patio, waited at a table for 15 minutes only for someone to come tell us that they didn’t have a waitress for us and asked us to go to the patio bar instead. Well since we weren’t there to flirt with the bartender, we were basically invisible to her. After sitting at the bar another 15-20 minutes, the bartender finally acknowledged us and took our drink order. Gave me a short pour of wine. Another 15-20 minutes went by. Finally took our food order. Completely forgot one of our orders and it just never came out. Terrible, terrible service every time, and the food is not good enough to make up for it. One star across the board.

For a Saturday night at 5, we were instantly seated. The outdoor space was cozy and our server Marissa was awesome. Very courteous and attentive. The pizza crust was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, the way it should be!

We ordered the smashburger, a quesadilla with chicken, and chicken strips basket with tots.
So be fore warned if you don't notice it on the menu. If they ask if you would like other than fries, they're going to charge $1.50 extra. They don't tell you that or at least our waitress did not.

I had the burger. It was a double burger fresh meat pattys not frozen. It was not very flavorful but it was good. Added salt and made it a lot better. Fries are fresh cut and came out pretty tasty, however, they are heavily salted so if you don't like that, make sure you let them know.

Quesadilla was very basic shredded cheese, melted with some pieces of chicken and then tossed on the grill to crisp it up. For $10.00 I don't think it was worth it.

The wife got the chicken strips and the tater tots. The chicken strips had fresh chicken strip meat. However, the breading had a weird burnt taste to it. They weren't horrible but they weren't the best we ever had and it was a nice try on their part. Using the fresh chicken breast helped. The tots came out cold. As I said before she was charged an extra $1.50 for those.

Overall it was a very average experience. The restaurant had a lot of guests and it took a long time for the food to come out for what we ordered. There was a steady flow of people so I don't think this was a bad restaurant with this many people coming to patronize them. Our experience is just average. Hope this helps.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the VI, and I must say that my experience was elevated to new heights thanks to Kylie and Tatiana. From the moment my friends and I arrived, they ensured that we felt welcomed and cherished. Their warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for what would become an unforgettable outing. They didn’t just serve us; they engaged with us, making sure our needs were met while suggesting the perfect dishes and drinks to enhance our experience.

Kylie and Tatiana's professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout our time there. They anticipated our requests before we even had to ask, making it clear that they are not just employees but experts in their craft. Their deep knowledge of the menu really enhanced our choices, and their ability to connect with us on a personal level transformed an ordinary dinner into a cherished memory. It’s not often that you come across staff members who genuinely care about the guests' experience, but those two certainly exceeded all expectations.

Thanks to their outstanding service, my friends and I are already planning our next visit. I truly believe that Kylie and Tatiana deserve recognition for their hard work and dedication; they are the kind of employees that elevate a venue's reputation. A raise would certainly be a well-deserved acknowledgment of their contributions to creating a memorable atmosphere. I can’t wait to return and see what other amazing experiences they have in store for us!

I used to work at the old Village Inn as a bartender/server and always hoped that someone would buy it and fix it up. It is such a great location.
The new owners have done an amazing job rehabilitating this place! It is very clean and everything is so purposefully placed. The bar on the outside patio was an excellent decision! The ladies room is brand new, spotless, and has 3 stalls!!! It used to only have 1 and it was small. There is now a hostess stand which we never had but was definitely needed. There are so many great improvements and I am so impressed that I had to share!
So far I've only had the pizza but it was very good and our server was awesome. I will definitely be back!!

We enjoy stopping once in a while. I'm a Realtor with Disalle and our office is next door. Love the pizza and fried pickles. Great atmosphere and always friendly service.
