Village Inn — Restaurant in Maple Grove

I can’t really comment on their food, only because we literally walked out before getting the chance to order. We came in on a Sunday for their “endless mimosas” special which I believe was $20 per person? Maybe it was $15? We sat down at about noon, giving us 1 and 1/2 more hours of their special. We told the bartender we’ll do the endless mimosas and we’d also like a food menu. He then did whatever he could do to kill time because he knew the special was ending soon. He poured some drinks for some other people, then he started serving tables, then he starts taking out the garbage and cleaning tables… it’s now been 15 minutes since we ordered and we haven’t received one drink. He finally returns to the bar and sets down two empty glasses in front of us. These glasses were VERY SKINNY but I’m thinking okay finally mimosa time! … Nope! He sets down the glasses and then walks away again! It’s now been over 20 minutes and still not one drink. So we left. So basically you have to wait 20+ minutes between each drink, once you finally get one you’ll finish it in 3 minutes because the glasses are so skinny. And then by the time you get your next one, the last drink has worn off because there was barely any alcohol in it. Don’t waste your money on their “endless mimosa” special unless you want to get there at 9:00 AM and spend literally half...

Wanted to try this restaurant for its breakfast. Hopefully we caught them on a bad day and the following review won't apply to you when/if you decide to dine there.

Like we've noted at other restaurants recently, they were quite understaffed. We waited about 15 mins for a booth and were finally greeted by a waitress about five minutes later. Too slow.

When we did order our food, we waited at least 45 mins for it. Shortly before its arrival, the waitress did stop by to apologize for the delay stating they had two large parties ahead of us. A quick scan of the room (sorely in need of cleaning and random repairs) revealed two groups of six and the remainder couples. And only about 60% of tables were occupied.

As you would imagine, the food tasted like it had been sitting for quite some time (cold), and was not good (pancakes are better at McDonald's and the scrambled eggs were made like an omelet, but dry). Eventually the manager came around and asked about our meal and experience. We told him about the very long delay and cold food. He did apologize and offer to remake the food, but we were worried it'd be another 45 mins so we declined. He did comp our order, which was very generous, but unfortunately our experience was...

Poor service and bland food. Went for breakfast and will not be back. Server was inattentive and forgot to bring a drink from the bar. When she finally remembered it, the “Spicy” Bloody Mary was very bland and wasn’t complete. The skewer of accompaniments came out several minutes later. Similarly, only three of our entrées came out together while the fourth was over five minutes later. Very slow on coffee and water refills. Food was below average. Bacon was thin and pancakes were dense. English muffin served dry and barely toasted with nothing to go with it. I had to ask for some butter on the side. Would’ve expected some jam or peanut butter or something? Cheese omelette was nothing special and hash browns were not really brown. They were basically just warmed, soggy, shredded potatoes with no texture at all. Maybe they will get better after they have more time to work out the kinks, but we won’t return...
