The Village Grille — Restaurant in Allouez

This was our second time here. First time was about a month prior and it was for breakfast. I enjoyed that meal, my husband didn’t. He just said nothing wowed him on the breakfast menu and the sausage was disappointing. Also the waitress kept questioning him when he asked for a short stack of pancakes. She was telling him how big they are and asked him multiple times if he was sure he wanted two… to the point we were getting annoyed with how much she was talking about it. Why was she insisting he should have two? We don’t mind getting suggestions from servers on what foods to try or avoid, but when we make our final decision, don’t question it. This time we came for lunch, which the main dining room seemed fuller than last time, but not outrageously busy. We got seated right away and the waitress took our drink and food order quickly. Atmosphere was nice, dining room was clean. For appetizers we ordered mozzarella sticks & artichoke dip. The artichoke dip was excellent! Mozzarella sticks were just okay. For entrees we ordered a cheeseburger with fries & applesauce and a Black Forest melt with grille fries & coleslaw. My melt was delicious and I would definitely get it again! The grille “fries” are just red potatoes cut in quarters (not really fries) and I personally didn’t think there was any flavor to them. I liked the regular fries better. The coleslaw was also good. My husband said the cheeseburger was just okay. He liked the toasted bun, but he didn’t think there was enough flavor to the burger and he would have loved some type of garlic aioli or other sauce on the burger (not ketchup). He also didn’t like the fries. Food aside, we were a disappointed in the attentiveness of our waitress today. After we got our appetizers, we needed refills on our drinks. We didn’t see her for almost 15 minutes and then when she did come back to our end of the dining room she kept going to a specific table without stopping by us. She went to that other table 5 times in a row over 10 minutes and never even looked at us to see if we needed anything. We saw other servers taking care of multiple tables around us at an even and fair pace. It’s not a huge complaint, and maybe she was just busy and honestly forgot about us, but it did put a damper on our time there. (Especially as my mouth got burnt from the hot artichoke dip and I had nothing to cool it off with.) I would definitely come back and give another try! Sadly my husband said he would...

When I came here for the first time with my Dad. We were so impressive with their interior design and vibe. It felt nice warm welcome and calm place to eat at. I didn't realize how big their menu was for lunch/dinner and breakfast on separate menu. Their service was fantastic! She was very friendly, takes time to explain about restaurant offer, and kept everything smooth. I do love their small lamp on table to help to see the menu. The lighting is great and how immaculate entire area. Back to talk about menu. I have super delicious Baby back rib with sauce and perfect fall off the bone. Man oh man I couldn't get enough of it. one nice thing about you can order no sauce if you want. My Dad order shrimp and he was impressive how tasty and not too butter or garlic. Overall price for different foods are not very expressive. On every Sunday they have Breakfast Buffet from 8am to 1pm. Sound like to me they have plenty of variety food choice to eat. I haven't eat it, but Im sure they are great. You can make RSVP on Sunday Breakfast buffet only. So there is no RSVP for any other day or time. I will be Back for some more!!!...

Went there today for dinner, my spouse and I ordered a combo basket, two ground beef taco salads, and two mountain dews. First off the meat was pretty much cold, it was clumped together and looked off. Then I took a bite, the meat was mushy and had no flavor at all. None, it didn’t even taste like ground beef. My spouse also thought it tasted odd. The mixed greens was also wilted for the most part. The waitress came over to ask us how our food was and we were honest. She asked if we wanted to speak to the manager and we said yes. The manager came over and said she took a bit off the bill, we thought it would be a decent amount since we barely ate any of the taco salads. Turns out she only took off the drinks. The bill was still $50 even though we could barely stomach to eat the taco salads. So we told our waitress that we would like to not pay for food that was inedible. She went back to the manager and they took off one of taco salads and put the drinks back on. Hopefully it was a bad batch or the cooks were off but I don’t think we will be coming back again. But thank you to our lovely waitress that helped us get...
