Village Gardens — Restaurant in Cuyahoga Falls

Meant to post last Wednesday (1/25/23) when I came here to eat with my friends but haven’t had time. Food was great BUUUT the wait time was horribly long, the waitresses all kept talking to each other and when they did come to our table they seemed beyond mad at us for even interrupting their chat time, we got there around 12:30pm since they close at 2pm and the waitress made sure to loudly say to her buddies that they close at 2pm. Which wouldn’t be a problem if they weren’t so slow to serve us and take our orders. Then starts vacuuming right by us while we are eating our food and then doesn’t even bother to ask if we even liked our food or if we were finished (we were not finished) and she hands us our check. We wanted to get dessert but wasn’t even offered because they couldn’t be bothered to stay until 2pm apparently. Very rude. By the time we stood up there waiting to cash out our check we could have had dessert with how long they dragged their feet to cash us out. Not exaggerating it was 10 minutes of waiting. Definitely is going downhill this wasn’t my friends first time here so they were extremely appalled and how far down the wait staff is getting. Luckily the food is pretty good which is the redeeming quality but I’m not sure if worth the sass...

We have been here 2 x! The first time was excellent. This past experience with the food portions was very disappointing. For the prices I was honestly shocked what we received. I got the biscuits and gravy breakfast. When you have a title like that you would think it would be that. But no. It’s more like a side of ONE biscuit and it’s the smallest biscuit I have ever seen. Not sure why the title of this is plural when you only get one. I mentioned to our waitress how tiny this biscuit was and she agreed 100% and said she would have them bring another. Well. Never saw that waitress again. My husbands English muffin was twice the size of this teeny tiny biscuit. Did I mention this was also $7.99?!?!? I attached a picture with a small butter packet next to it, so you can see just how tiny this was. I got enough gravy for 10 of these biscuits. Molly browns is the same price and their biscuits are big enough to feed a small family of 4. Probably won’t return. Very misleading. And the staff didn’t care to correct it. I did also order a side of oatmeal which was delicious! I asked for extra extra brown sugar on the side....

Love the place. Love the food. Love my usual server. Make me take my coffee from another place out to my car because you lose money on coffee. I wouldnt buy it regardless. I dont like drip coffee and prefer someone elses espresso. I was a weekly, sometimes twice weekly patron and usually got an overpriced orange juice as well. The day I was told to take my coffee out, I just so happened to have one for the waitress because we would joke about it being good stuff. I guess the chain will get my business. I dont prefer these types of reviews but I feel this was handled was poorly and people need a heads up so they arent embarrassed by the new rules. A lady at the end of the bar was the one who informed me I would have to take it out before wait staff informed me. Apparently its a big deal. Thank you for the years of great food and...
