Village Cafe — Restaurant in Arroyo Grande

First and last time for the Village Cafe. My husband loves corned beef and orders it most times we eat out for breakfast. The corned beef served here looked like something from a dog food can. My husband said he thought it had been watered down or had something else added because there was very little corned beef flavor. I tasted it and agreed, maybe the cook dumped in the potato water or something else to stretch the meat, there wasn't much in the way of potatoes in it. It certainly did not taste like brisket.

My husband ate the eggs and some potatoes but very little of the corned beef. The waitress said the owner does not allow adjustments on the check. The picture is what he left...

Overall, very satisfied with this restaurant and I will absolutely be returning in the near future! (I'll be trying the Cowboy Burrito next time. I saw a customer eating it and it looked absolutely delectable smothered in...

Went in on a Sunday morning, mildly busy but servers were overwhelmed and were clearly bothered. We ordered basic pancake, scrambled eggs and bacon plate for my kids and the eggs were runny and not fully cooked. We also ordered the special, which was huevos rancheros and the taste was edible at best. Our coffee was refilled only once as we basically paid our check, which they also don't mention that credit has a "non-cash" fee of $2.50; this is included in their tip suggestion. Subtract that and gross down the total because the bill was not itemized to get your actual total. Would not consider this place a 4.5 and...
