Village Inn — Restaurant in Pickens

The staff was friendly when we walked in but it was made clear that we were to seat ourselves and then just help ourselves at the buffet. We were asked what we wanted to drink and it was dropped off at our table while we were at the buffet. We got the breakfast buffet on a Saturday morning and the food was universally sub-par. There was variety but everything was either cold, undercooked or overcooked. The eggs were definitely out of a bag and they were wet and slimy. All the protein options were dried out like they’d been sitting under the heat lamp for a long time. Grits are supposed to be creamy, these were not. The biscuits and waffles were hard and dried out since they’d been out for far too long. And they were cold the moment you took them out from underneath the heat lamp.

I have been there about five times, each time was good except the last time On Wednesday I went there and a tall heavy set young waitress came to the table and asked what I wanted to drink and with a attitude brought me my drink and never returned.

So I got up and walked out. Even thought the other times it was a decent experience once I walk out I will never return. I rode to easley and had a nice breakfast. I am willing to travel for good service, good food and nice atmosphere. So much for support local as I just moved to pickens and won't do business at...

The Service/Experience/Value Our service was very good and the coffee cups never emptied nor did my water. This is a country restaurant where time stops when you enter. If you are looking for a quick breakfast at a very reasonable price stop in the...
