This is somewhere between a 1 and a 2 star review, but I'll err on the side of rounding down.
My party rolled in around 11:15 wanting breakfast to help us through a rough morning. Unfortunately, the Village Inn stops serving breakfast at 11. We could order simple eggs and potatoes if we wanted, though, which is what I did. We were disappointed that we couldn't get omelettes so close to the arbitrary breakfast end time. Biscuits and gravy happened to be on special all day, so 2 of my party members opted for that.
I was pretty happy with my eggs and hash browns. The biscuits and gravy, though, were just not good. I assumed the gravy would be sausage gravy, but it didn't really taste like any sausage gravy I've ever had. My best guess as to its taste is that it was made with beef drippings rather than breakfast sausage. I found it pretty gross.
The service wasn't great, the coffee wasn't strong, and the food wasn't tasty. The Village Inn was cheap, but I would not recommend coming here for a lazy breakfast.
I had eaten here a few years ago on our way out west and remembered it to stop with my mom on the way to Chicago. Â So glad we did. Â We shared a fried chicken dinner for lunch that was amazing. Â Real mashed potatoes with fantastic gravy. Â The nicest touch was the fresh thick sliced wheat bread that came with our meal. Â Alas, we were too full for dessert, but the pies looked yummy!
