It's been a while since we've dined at Village Tavern. Â When we asked our Mom where she wanted to go for her birthday, she said Village Tavern for some Ribs...ok! Â We ordered:
Onion Ribbons, $6.75

The Onion Ribbons are very good and addicting. Â The Ribs were cooked just right with the meat falling off the bone and the BBQ Sauce adding the right amount of sweet, tangy goodness. Â It's what we were all craving.
At the end of the meal, the server surprised Mom with a Chocolate Cake and Vanilla Ice Cream. Â She enjoyed it.

Overall, it was a nice family dinner.
Return Factor - 100%
We went there during the sleepy Scottsdale summer, so we were able to get right in. Â The food we had was excellent- blackened salmon sandwich w/ homemade chips, kids food was great, margarita pizza was amazing- the crust could be the best I've ever had. Â Do yourself a favor and order the crab cake appetizer.... SO GOOD! Â The calamari was also excellent, but the Thai chili sauce is what elevates the rather ordinary app to something memorable. Â Just get a side of the sauce if you don't want to order of calamari!! Â Key Lime Pie was great (better than I've ever made it) and the nutella & chunky monkey stuffed crepes were delicious, not my favorite but devoured non- the- less. Â The best dish was the Shrimp & Grits. Â Being from California, I don't see this on menus very often, and I like to order new things. Â So glad I did. Â It was unbelievable. Â Shrimp, bacon, Gruyere, grits.... AMAZING!! Â Bottom line- obviously we enjoyed the food... but the service and the staff were all very nice, informative & friendly.
Review Source:Went later afternoon on a Saturday. Â We happen to hit happy hour and it was awesome. Â I had the Sangria ($7.00) and the BBQ ribs ($8.95). Â Husband had a Guinness and pulled pork tacos. Â For small plates, they were still decent portions. Â The Sangria was some of the best I've ever had. Â If a restaurant has sangria, I will try it so I've drank my fair share. Â What I really liked about this place was the staff. No matter who walked by they filled a water glass, took dirty plates away, etc. it actually seemed liked they enjoyed working there. Â Amy was our main gal and she was friendly and helpful.
Review Source:Have been eating lunch here on Wednesdays for years. Â (Wednesday being half price wine day). Â Excellent salads, especially the Tavern House salad. Â The burgers are out of this world. Â Try the bacon cheddar burger and you won't be disappointed. Â No overcooked, dried out burgers here. Â I order mine medium rare and it's always cooked to perfection.
Review Source:This was our first time at Village Tavern. Â We were having a pre-mother's day dinner on Saturday to avoid the usual Sunday crowds. Village Tavern was selected based on Yelp reviews and what appeared to be a very diverse menu. Â
We started off with a Guiness and a Fonseca Port Wine which was delicious. Â A little pricey at $10.50 for about 4 oz of Port. Â I enjoyed it though.
I ordered the French onion soup which was a little on the salty side but I love salt so I ate every last drop of it.  I selected a crab cake (appetizer) which came with tartar sauce along with an order of  french fries, The crab cakes were amazing.  Real crab meat almost no breading.  Excellent. Â
Hubby had the trout which was a really nice portion of filets with a teriyaki type glaze. He selected the sweet potato fries which had a hint of cinnamon and possibly a light sprinkling of sugar. Â He really, really enjoyed his meal. Â The true test of whether he likes a dish is to ask if he would order it again. Â His answer was absolutely! Â We topped off the dinner with apple cobbler with a scoop of Hagaan Daz. Â We held off on the caramel sauce because we thought it would make it too sweet- and we were right. Â The cobbler was really delicious and large enough that two of us couldn't finish it.
This review would not be complete without commenting on the service. Â Jared was our server and he was very informative and attentive. Â Thanks to Jared now I know that seafood is flown in every day to Village Tavern. Â That means I will go to Village Tavern for my seafood dishes. Â Our waters were filled and he checked on us often. Â
Thanks Jared.
And thanks
to Village Tavern for running such a great kitchen and a smooth operation.
This restaurant offers something for everyone. You can order a hamburger or a full meal. Mexican salad is delicious, prime rib sandwich is excellent, Everything I have had is great. The interior reminds me of restaurants in Chicago, lots of wood, mostly booths, in colder weather the fireplace gives great ambience. Bar is excellent and offers many specials and appetizers.
Review Source:My husband and I went here after our favorite happy hour spot had a 45 minute wait. The environment was nice, clean and there were tables at the bar open. They did not have the drink that I asked for but offered another one, which was actually good. The food was good but my main issue was that my credit card was charged for my meal and my neighbors table placing a significant amount of money on hold in my bank account after I let the waitress know of her giant mistake, which as it was my first night ever trying this place did not impress me.
Review Source:Sometimes everything does not go as planned and such was the case in dining at the Village Tavern. This is a meat and potatoes spot and I really wanted something light.
The ahi was just not good. Neither was the wine list. The shrimp taco's were marginal.
So, you ask: Why did you order seafood? Sorry, my bad!
Service was nice, but am thinking with as many excellent restaurants as there are in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, I can skip this spot.
Just came back from opening day of Spring Training for the S.F. Giants....while in Scottsdale needed to find a nice place to eat.....remembered eating at Village Tavern a few years ago and decided to return. Â It's the busy season, so we did have to wait 30 minutes, BUT well worth the wait. Â We were seated in Patrick B.'s section....and what a treat. Â He has a great sense of humor and an excellent memory...and we tested him when we kept changing our order. Â Everything came out exactly as ordered and tasted great. Â Thanks for the great food and the outstanding service!!!
Review Source:Ok, in a restaurant things are going to happen, its how you take care of it that matters most. Â The manager on this day handled my cold food issue with professionalism and courtesy. The tavern is a very nice place, more of a lodge feel instead of a the tavern I was visualizing. Â Prices were a tad high but its in Scottsdale and one expects to pay more. Â Food was not that great just ordered appetizers and like I mentioned earlier were cold and tasteless. Â The clam chowder was great. Â I should have gotten the Brunch that day which looked yummy on the table next to us. Â I will not be back I'm afraid, TOO many restaurants to choose from to give another shot.
Review Source:Ordinarily really happy with this place and the service but this afternoon was a bit on the poor side for both food and service. Â
It was not crowded and we were seated right away, which was nice however our waiter came over about 5 or 6 minutes later to ask what we wanted to drink and eat. Â We place our drink and app order and while we were telling him about our entree, he walked away. Â I don't know if another patron got his attention or he was bored with us but just plain walked away. Â He came back a few minutes later with our drinks and a cold appetizer. Â We placed our entree order and our food was just...bad. Â One order was undercooked, the other overcooked. Â We tried to get his attention but he didn't come back from about 5 or 6 minutes again and we just figured "f this" ate and when he came back he just left the check and left again. Â I have to say, I expect more and have always experienced better. Â I would hate to think I have to take this place out of our rotation of places.
I was looking for something in the area that wasn't too pricey, yet not too cheap either in hopes to receive a nice meal.
Hit the jackpot! This place was great! The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. There was almost an hour wait so we decided to sit outside to have dinner. They had the heat lamps on so it made it very comfortable to sit outside. Our waitress was great and the food was even better. Â Scallops wrapped on bacon...to die for.....hot crab dip...good, but was a little runny..Ive had better, but still very good.
The salmon burger was very yummy. I do not usually like salmon burgers but this was one probably one of the best I've had. The wine selection seemed great too. I got the fat cat pino noir...nice and smooth!
Overall I am very happy to have found this place while on vacation. One day if I come back to the area I will have to eat here again.
Village Tavern is a great restaurant, good good, good prices and good service. Â A fun place to go and enjoy a meal. Â The selection is large and I especially enjoy their steaks and prime rib. Â The food is prepared just as ordered,. Â I make a point of going when I am down in the Scottsdale aresa.
Review Source:my uncle owned a tavern: a hallway with a bar on one side and a pool table in the middle. You could have pabst, schlitz, old style, or something significantly stronger to drink. hungry? pretzels were free.
village tavern has a large menu selection. the food is perfectly presented and tastes good, Â and there is a wide variety to choose from. my excellent wife loves the french onion soup and the margherita pizza. the house made chips and the deserts are excellent. the clam chowder is okay.
we love the rich, dark colors and textures here. we can hear each other speak, but we can't overhear the conversations of others.
service is sublime. everyone treats us like rock stars. we love amanda.
we brought mom here once. she loved the food and the libation. this  may be the only time we have seen/heard her happy at a restaurant. Â
we're taking my dad and his excellent wife there for lunch today.
reservations are highly recommended.
If you're looking for a nice restaurant with good food that has an American Tavern feel, this is your place. When I sat down I was greeted quickly, and when I had questions about a wine I was looking for, they sent over a very knowledgeable gentleman who helped find two excellent wines. My party had everything ranging from salad, scallops, clam chowder, ribs, pizza and prime rib. Â Everything was very good, the only thing that really stood out as being exceptional was the prime rib. Â Very nice thick cut, served with a warm au jus and some creamy horse radish, cooked perfectly, YUM. Â Their menu is large enough that there is always something for everyone.
Review Source:If you are looking for a sophisticated and casual atmosphere with a lot of different menu choices and great service, this is the place. Located in the Gainey Center Shopping area, the Tavern is always fulll of locals and in season, snow birds congregate here. The food ranges from wonderful, creative salads (always fresh) to well prepared fish and meat dishes. The best part of the restaurant is the lodge like atmosphere (the owners are from Colorado), the two sided fireplace that backs to the bar and dining room, and the big, comfy wooden booths that hold 6-8 people. The service is great, too!
Review Source:They recently added patio seating for overflow crowds.
Great.
The patio is right next to the main drive and parking area.
There's no hiding from headlights.
I duck down every time a car pulls into the parking lot. It's like I'm bobbing for apples.
I'm sick of ducking.
The next car, I push Margaret's head down below the table.
She thinks I do it for a different reason and gets mad.
I'm breaking up with her.
I hope her dad doesn't fire me.
Not cool VT.
Losing a star.
My wife and I stopped by for dinner and I knew she was curious about this place since we always wonder what the food was like.
The server was okay.
We started off with the crab cake appetizer which was okay. The crab cake was not as firm as I would have liked, but it was good enough to enjoy. It was placed on top of a garden green salad.
My wife ordered the medium rare Filet Mignon <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fCJrZIzz85_8Uhf072QVnA?select=R1hK7SL71GbWVDCju15H2A">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a>
and I had the medium rare prime rib. We both had the wedge salad which was the perfect size, not to large.
Asked her how she liked it, said it was burnt on the outside and a tad bit over cooked. As you can see, my was cooked perfectly.
We topped the meal off with a Banana Crepes. It was more like ice cream crepes because the two crepes were wrapped around vanilla ice cream. The bananas were on the bottom split in half and made into a tic tac toe design, topped with the ice cream crepes then a scope of vanilla ice cream was place on top. It was drizzled with caramel and chocolate sauces. I should have taken a picture of it, but I was so amazed at the dessert that I grabbed my spoon and started digging in.
The place was a bit loud and the table and booth arrangment reminded us of Houston's Restaurant.
Very run-of-the-mill, solid, nothing-exciting-or-surprising type of place. It's the kind of restaurant that's not your first choice, but when all your other options are closed, or too far, or too crowded, you come to Village Tavern and you end up not being disappointed.
I was there today and had the $3 mimosas with the crab-cakes benedict. The potatoes that accompany the eggs are way too mealy, but the eggs themselves and the sauce are spot-on. Wished the crab-cake had a bit more flavor.
Bread service is by request only, which I really like.
Our hostess and our server were polite and efficient.
Overall, a good place to bring mom and dad to on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
On my way home from a late golf session at McCormick Ranch, I decided to stop at the Village Tavern. I had driven by it for years, but never stopped in to see what they offered. I wanted to try some place different, so decided to give it a go.
Since I was by myself, I immediately went to the bar for liquid refreshment. Not a great selection of beer, but they did have several choices, so all was not lost. Â I did decide to try something to eat, but since I wasn't overly hungry, I opted for a pizza. I was surprised - it was quite good for a "bar" pizza, and something I would order again. On a subsequent visit I had the fish tacos, which were also quite good.
I'm not a meat and potatoes person, but there were a number of choices on the menu that I am waiting to try. Â However, it always seems that when I stop by, I'm more in a snacking mood than looking for a full dinner. But their menu is solid, and I will try a full meal when the mood hits.
A nice place, and I wouldn't hesitate to bring out of town visitors here.
We've been going to the Village for years and have found it to be consistent all-around. Â Generally service is very efficient, and on times when they fell short, they have done some remarkable things to keep us happy and coming back (once comped the entire meal for 8 of us because we were ignored by our server - wow!) Â
I've had the opportunity to try many different dishes and only occasionally have happened upon something that didn't click w/ me. Â My go-to favorite has to be the ten-spice salmon w/ couscous. Â They used to have a portebello mushroom sandwich that was out of this world - and I guess it was, because they took it off the menu. Â
We like the Village for the variety and consistency. Â It's a nice place to take guests when you don't know what everyone will really want to eat. Â There's a good variety and something to suit everyone. Â
One piece of advice, MAKE A RESERVATION if you are planning dinner on a weekend, especially during winter months. Â This place gets busy and you can wait for a long time. Â The bar is only so big so don't think about killing time waiting there.
Love meat and potatoes? This might be the place for you.
I met some girlfriends here for lunch. Turns out, it's really not one of those "ladies who lunch" places. It's dark and clubby, reminiscent of old-fashioned men's clubs that you see in movies. There are lots of private booths, mostly filled with men in suits talking business and / or sports. If only this were the 1960's, Don Draper and the other Mad Men guys would be smoking cigarettes and drinking martinis in the corner booth.
The food is primarily meat and potatoes. Yes, they do have other things on the menu, but it's the steak, prime rib, and hamburgers that really shine. When ordering, I attempted to strike a compromise between beef and veggie healthy. So I ordered the tenderloin teriyaki stir fry. The aroma and presentation were good, but the meat was definitely not tenderloin filet. It was chewy and grisly, perhaps the castoffs of the high quality steaks served to others? One of my friends ordered the double bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries; a bold choice among the "ladies who lunch" group. But her burger was big and juicy, and she said it tasted great. She loved her sweet potato fries, crisp and a hint of cinnamon.
Village Tavern is all about the meat and potatoes; just don't go there expecting a nice light lunch.
Mikey likes it! Yes, after years of passing by the Village Tavern and years of never going in, I've finally visited this local neighborhood tavern and what do I have to say about it? It's A-OK in my book!
When I walked in, it reminded me of other restaurants in the valley in the sense that it's cozy, warm and full of *gasp* snowbirds! The restaurant was hopping with visitors which is a great sign in this economy. They told us the wait would be about 20 minutes, but we weren't even half way done with our beers when they called our name, actually our beeper started buzzing.
The dining room is warm and welcoming. It's crowded in there but once you sit in your seat, you easily forget about those surrounding you. The booths are high and comfortable. The staffers are friendly and attentive but not overbearing.
For food, we began with the crab dip. It came out fresh, hearty and inviting us to dig into it. I liked to see how they gave us small bread slices instead of chips or a large chunk of bread to break off. The crab dip was tasty and savory enough that I could have a little and was still satisfied. Now the menu here is pretty overwhelming because you can pretty much choose anything in any food group to eat based on this menu. But, I ended up going for the fish tacos. I don't quite know what kind of fish was in the tacos but they were filling and satisfying. I didn't try the ribs but caught a glimpse of them and if they tasted anything like they looked, then those are some delicious ribs!
So to end my tale about my introduction to the Village Tavern, this is a great neighborhood restaurant that I'd happily visit again.
The ultimate conundrum...
Good food -- weird and/or poor service. Some of us go out more for food, and some of us more for service. Well it just so happens that I'm a fan-tastic cook at home, so I go out more for service.
This time it was more about the people I was with, so I wasn't paying close attention, but our server was from space. She wasn't just spaced-out, she was literally descended from space. The food was good and I believe everyone got what they ordered, so that's two stars instead of one. That's where it ends, though. Every time she came to the table and interacted with us, after she left we kind of looked at each other wondering if we wandered into the set of Romy and Michelle.
The topper was when we asked for cappuccino after lunch and were told that the machine was broken. Way to grab hold of that customer experience for all it's worth, Mr. Tavern. Just to rub salt in our wounds, the server came back with the check and asked if anyone wanted coffee. Srsly? We confirmed the machine was broken and she informed us that Paradise Bakery was open. What? Do they even have cappuccino??
The crab cake sandwich is yum.
I'm a fan of Village Tavern. The food isn't knock your socks off amazing but it's solid and it happens to be near work. We end up going there a lot.
I often get the mustard pepper burger. It's good. I dig it. No matter what I get though, I ALWAYS order the home made chips. I've been a fan of home made chips since I first had them at Goldie's a million years ago. I'll get these wherever they have them. Village Tavern does a good rendition.
Yesterday I got the crab cake sandwich which was also quite good. I also had a bowl of clam chowder. It wasn't awesome but it did the job.
I will say that for some reason I like the crazy lemonade they do & can't get enough of it. It's got like a tiny bit of carbonation to it. While I wasn't sure if I even liked it at first, it's grown on me & I'll go at least 3 or 4 deep at a minimum.
The other thing I do dig there is the crab dip appetizer. Again, it's nothing unbelievable but I've just come to like it.
So while I wouldn't offer the Village Tavern up if people were asking about great food, it kind of has a weird place in my heart and we go there quite a lot for work meetings.
Donald S. just reminded me I had not reviewed the Village Tavern yet.
Eat at your own risk, I can only tell you my experience and you do with it what you like.
I la la la loved the food here, used to dine in regularly and happy hour often until.
Dun dun dun dun, one evening my girlfriends and I rendezvous at the Tavern for a little happy hour. It was not happy and we left in well under an hour. Just after being sat in the bar area we saw the biggest freakin rat. It would have made NY proud!
We packed it in and disappeared into the night never to return. :( Sad tale for a place I loved so much. It's like breaking up with someone you still have feelings for but you know it's the right thing to do.
I admit it...I like potato chips:)
Back when there was about 60 pounds more of me to love, you could say I really liked potato chips:)
But still, if you are looking at the classic "nutrition pyramid"...potato chips are stuffed in there at the tippy top, along with perfectly grilled bone-in rib eye's, single malt scotch whiskey and Dungeness crab legs...all good things and good for you, too:)
At the Village Tavern, they have an appetizer called Colorado Potato Chips...freshly fried potato chips...with a bunch of junk on them.
But, if you ask them nicely, they will bring you just a plate of the chips, all fresh and warm and salty, right out of the fryer...without all the rest of the toppings:)
Now that's an accompaniment:)
A grace note, if you will:)
The Beautiful Carin and I stopped by the other evening... we hadn't been there in several months, and Sarah G's review reminded me that I have missed the good old Village Tavern.
They pour a nice drink at the VT and have a " 1/2 price on any and every drink" Happy Hour, so we had a couple of inexpensive KetelOne marti's and decided to have an early dinner:)
I had the Maple Cured Pork Chop and Carin had their Teriyaki Chicken...both were very good!
At VT, they also make a decent prime rib, some very serviceable burgers, a crab cake sandwich that really uses real crab and tastes like a crab cake should (no, it won't transport you to Newport News, but it's good:), and a Chinese Chicken Salad that always seems to draw me in:)
I've had all of these menu items before (and several other items as well) and never had a bad meal:)
In other words...good, solid tavern/road house fare...except for the chips:)
They transcend the genre and make VT a place worth returning to from time to time (not too often...got to watch the cholesterol:)
The atmosphere is pleasant and the service has always been very pleasant and friendly:)
I never feel that the staff is trying to "optimize" me or turn the table quickly.
And finally, in a rare "double", I need to give a five star shout out to the Village Clubs...by showing my membership card for the Village Clubs at VT, I get a 15% discount on the entire bill:)
I know...it's a chain and I do like to buy local, but come on...Village Tavern has those potato chips...Fresh, Warm, Perfect Potato Chips!
Potato Chips...Just when I thought I was out...they pulled me back in:)
I didn't set any high expectations after reading through the previous reviews and the name really doesn't do the restaurant and favors either.
However I was pleasantly surprised.
The interior was dark and homey like some kind of hunting lodge with large booths and a Fireplace separating the two side of the restaurant and bar.
The menu had a lot of items to choose from. I decided on the Blackened Salmon Sandwich per the waiters recommendation and the fact that he told me that they fly in fresh seafood daily. (see pics)
My Sandwich was nothing less than Amazing! Really that was the most Delicious Salmon I think I have ever tasted, it was so fresh and juicy and perfectly grilled, WOW!
Not to mention the Sesame encrusted bun from heaven that it lay upon and the most beautifully fresh sliced tomato I have EVER seen on a sandwich ANYWHERE!
I chose pasta salad as my side instead of fries, this pasta salad was really fresh and tasty with sliced carrots, olives and peppers, dressed in a basil vinaigrette.
My daughter chose the Cheeseburger, as usual.(see pics) Even though I don't eat red meat I could see how juicy and flavorful her burger was. It was cooked to a perfect medium and came served on the same heavenly bun that I had, she was oohing and aahing over every bite.
Lucky for me I had a gift card to the VT or I may have never even bothered to try it.
I will be back for sure and if they keep up with this experience they may just get another star!
The Village Tavern...the name alone reminds me of some hole in the wall bar. I had a friend that swore by this place, because she use to live by it, and we were actually going to go to Houston's but went the wrong way on Scottsdale ,so we ended up here.
It was the middle of the afternoon and after walking in I felt like i had entered a geriatrics ward, we were the only two people in the place besides the staff that was under 40.
My friend got the wraps which were so bad she could not even eat them, so our server removed them from our bill, I got the chicken club sandwich with pasta salad and iced tea.
Our service for the most part was pretty bad, we had like 5 different people come to our table when we were there, not a 100 percent on who our server actually was, but we would ask one person for a refill and they would say sure then someone else would come back with no drink refill.
Our table was a bit dirty when we sat down. in general this placed sucked, service was poor, the food was garbage, and in general even though this place is huge it truly is like a hole in the wall shit bar restaurant.
Pretty OK. Â Visited several times. Â
Been for lunch (roast beef really good). Â
Bar scene is nice, rustic-type atmosphere. Â Had office group & several plates of all the different appies to nosh on, was good. Â
Martinis are 'ok', same goes for glasses of wine. Â
Good for an after work sorta thing.
Village Tavern has been a regular staple and a place where I go for comfort food....they have meatloaf on the menu - how can you fo wrong with that?!
They have everything on the menu from all the soups and salads, to burgers, pizza, sandwiches, steaks, chicken, pastas.....kids menu as well! Anything that you are looking for .....is on this menu.
Serving lunch, brunch and dinner....always a great place to meet up for happy hour (this place always seems to be the 'meet in the middle' place between alot of my friends). So it works!
The bar area is a great place to just chill and have a cocktail -dark wood interior with a fireplace....good ambience.
Village Tavern isn't terrible, but it was oh-so-forgetable!
The first time I went here I got the French Onion soup and although it was more cheese than I'd normally like, it was pretty good. The main dish I got, the Shrimp Risotto, was far from impressive. I've had better in a frozen microwave meal.
The second time I went, which was last weekend, I got the Marinated Flank Steak with a side of potatoes Au gratin. The steak was cut very thick for flank steak and was pretty chewy. The potatoes in the Au gratin weren't cooked all the way through and were just lacking any flavor. The vegetables on the side aren't worth mentioning.
The service both times I went was fine. Nothing too exciting, nothing to entice me to come back. As for the restaurant itself, Â it's a nice looking place, but the food just doesn't live up to it. Maybe myself and those I've gone with have been ordering the wrong menu items, but I continue to not be wowed.
My girlfriend and I met my mother here for lunch. Inside looks very familiar - typical dark restaurant/bar that reminds you of Houstons or a dozen other places in a 10 mile radius. Given that it's so generic, I'll spare you the review of the ambiance and the service since it's typical and average as well.
My mother raved about the potato chips which were okay... they were basically deep fried potato slices with salt... some were crispy and some were soggy. It looked too greasy for me at that moment in time, so I only had a few. I'm wondering if the excessive grease and apparent overcooking contributed to the gut rot my girlfriend experienced.
We all ordered salads after discussing burgers and other rich foods. I opted for the Chicken Caesar. It was pretty mediocre and I didn't finish it. They brought us bread after we asked and then reminded a few times and it was just as average as everything else about this place.
Nothing sticks out here as being special in any way. The place seems to be aiming for semi-upscale, but is failing or just barely putting in the minimum required effort.
