This is a local bar that I have frequented a handful of times. Aside from good drinks and friendly people, they also serve some really good food. They have a full menu with everything from typical bar food to ribs, soups, burgers, chicken, and different fish dinners on Fridays. If you're a chili lover, then you must try it here. Many people say it's a favorite. If you're only looking for a bar experience, you can get that here too. There is also outdoor seating for those warm summer nights.

Our server Stacey was fantastic! We’re not from the area and she gave us suggestions on what to see here. Very friendly and efficient! Food was very good!

Village Tavern is a typical bar and tavern experience. While the burger was decent, there wasn't much else to write home about during the meal. Unfortunately, my order was messed up (wrong fries and no bacon on the burger as requested), and the replacement fries arrived borderline burnt. Service was super spotty with drinks taking forever to arrive and minimal interaction with the waitress to even address the errors. The bar was also very smoky and dated, which made the atmosphere unpleasant. Overall, it wasn't a great experience, and I'll likely not return.

YUM! Fabulous Burger & fries! Hit the spot on the rainy election night. Our server was so attentive and friendly. Fun atmosphere with the classic twist. Would definitely recommend and return if passing through again.

Went for Memorial Day lunch bc it was one of the few places open. I got the fish basket (as I have in the past) and my husband got the patty melt sub onion rings. Unfortunately the food was meh. I've had their fish basket before with hand breaded fillets that you could tell were real bc their shapes were all different and the better was uneven. Instead I got 3 uniform triangle shaped pieces of freezer fish. Fries were good, coleslaw sucked- minced and soupy. But I was super disappointed about the fish. Husband's sandwich was meh. Burger patty thinned out and kinda rubbery. No crispy edges. And the sauce was not patty melt sauce. Don't know what it was tho. Also, to substitute a half order of onion rings instead of fries it was $5.50. Ridiculous. Service was awesome, everything was ordered correctly. Just wish lunch tasted better.

Had the Village Patty Melt and oh. my. gosh. The best I’ve ever had. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Smoking bugged me a little but not enough to walk away from that sandwich. Well done!
