This was my first order, it was for carry out and heres why Im giving them only 2 stars based on first impression: I ordered bbq ribs, bbq chicken platter & 2 cheese fries.... what I received was bbq ribs, plain chicken strips, 2 fries and 2 ranch cups. This was disappointing to receive a meal (chicken strips) that is a much smaller serving than the platter, also the switch from cheese fries to ranch fries was far less desirable. The food quality was OK at best, the BBQ ribs werent melt in your mouth good... somewhat bland actually. The side salads were soggy and ranch is watered down. The order had 2 papers attached to it, one is hand written by the server and one was computer generated, the hand written order was correct to my order, the computerized reciepte had the differences of the missing cheese on/with the fries and the switch from bbq platter to chicken strips. I would have given 1 star but based on their pricing for the quantity of food received it to me is acceptable and deserves the second star. I will NOT be visiting village tavern again and would not recommend it to a friend for any future carry out orders.

Great food been there 6 times in the past 5 months. But I cant believe I was just treated that way. I ordered a chicken dinner take out and when I got home it was a fish dinner. Ok mistakes happen. I called and was transferred to the owner or manager. He apologized and offered to make it right. I told him I would come and pick it up. It would take me 30 minutes to dive there. I picked up the meal and again a sorry for the mistake from the hostess. Not a token gift card or a buy one get one at half off coupon, " here is something give us a try again and we will make it right" NOTHING. I spent two hours driving in my car to get the correct meal. A new frequent costumer but not appreciated.

Food was subpar at best. I really wanted to like this place but was quite disappointed with BOTH meals i had there. Ordered what they call pork medallions but turned out to be nothing more than a VERY dry butterflied pork chop covered in sauce. It was so dry had to send it back. I then decided to order the prime rib. That was probably the worst piece of prime rib i have ever had. It was very dry and extremely tuff. Really couldnt even eat it, but didnt have the nerve to send back a second dish. My friend had the pot roast sandwich and said it was just ok. Nothing special. On a side note, our waitress couldnt have been nicer. She was very nice and pleasant.

Well, usually I love it here. However, this time I was here we got seated immediately but ended up waiting 20 minutes for someone to say anything to us. I go to the bar and explain, and ask for a manager. I see a couple servers standing around as well. That takes another 5 minutes. Explain again, and all she says is "Ill send someone over." Another 5 minutes. At least 3 servers have seen us at this point. At least the server who greeted us apologized. Food was delicious, no surprise there. Didnt feel appreciated however.

The chicken fingers from The Village Tavern are the real deal. These are easily the best chicken fingers Ive ever had and I cant recommend them enough. They dont hold back with portion sizes, either. My fiancé ordered the chicken nachos and she barely put a dent into it. Its could easily feed 2-3 people so be prepared to take home leftovers. The restaurant does get crowded, especially during weekends so consider calling ahead before arriving. This place truly deserves its high rating; the food is just too good.

Poor service. Waitress brought wrong potatoes for my guest. Instead of just getting correct ones, which I offered to pay for, she took his whole plate back, then brought his sandwich back without any potatoes - so he could have some thing to eat. About 7 minutes later another person brought an order of the correct potatoes. My food got cold while I waitEd for my customer to get his food. Never again.

I have been here more times than I can count. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is my favorite thing to get, but it is kind of inconsistent. Sometimes they put too much sauce on, sometimes not enough. Sometimes its too soggy, sometimes its dry. Regardless, its still very good and imagine my family will keep coming back to this place for the rest of eternity. The restaurant is a staple.

I am from east Texas and came down for a week to visit my sister and her husband. This was the first place they took me to eat, and OMG I want one of these in Lindale, Texas!! The south is known for its fried food, I have had my share of awesome fried chicken fingers, but I found the worlds best chicken fingers in Illinois! This place is awesome, go there...now!

One of the best in the area. Great food, great atmosphere and LARGE portions. Careful what you order, as you will be taking most of it home. 5 stars across the board. Remember, it gets busy in there around Lunch and Dinner, and always keep an eye out for the specials! Oh, did I mention that they have the BEST Chicken Fingers this side of the Mississippi?

If u our looking for reasonably priced food that is just ok, this is the place. Dont expect great food or anything made from scratch and you wont be disappointed. Service is also mediocre, not sure if they even train on the steps of service, but they do try. Overall, for a quick dinner when you dont want to cook or much care about quality this place works.

My favorite local tavern & grill. Been going there for 19 years now and the food never gets old. I heard they also recently switched food suppliers for some items and its much higher quality, which was a great move to keep things fresh. The management and staff have been great for all those years and they can accommodate large families.

Excellent service, never had to ask for a refill because there was always one ready. The menu is huge and Im sad we dont live in the area because Id love to try it all! The prices are absolutely reasonable for the amount of food you get (a lot) and the food was amazing. If we ever returned to the area this would be a must-stop.

First time here. I Went to dinner with my family and had a hamburger....it was so moist that there was no flavor and instead of meat it tastes like mush. The french fries were stale and dry. That night and the following day my stomach was affected and I have been feeling sick. I do not recommend this place at all!

I have now lived in CS for 8 years and this place is da bomb!! AWESOME food for everyone, soups and salads to appetizers, burgers w/ fries and the most finger licking great chicken strips ever tasted! Manhattans across and down the street could learn from these folks. And the wife loves their Mai Tais.

The food here is always good and the portion size is always good too. Its definitely a local place and would be recommended by anyone who goes here. The ONLY downside is the majority of the parking is in the rear. TVs everywhere and they staff are helpful if you want to watch something specific.
