I often bring out of town people here to sit, relax, have coffee, and talk. The booths are big enough to fit 4 comfortably and it's not too loud. Their chocolate cake is huge and enough to feed 4.
A reliably delicious menu and a favorite of mine for 6 years. Enjoy it every time.
Good selection of local beers and decent pizza. Arrive early on VCU game days
Great place for comfort food at a reasonable price. Staff is always friendly and helpful. It's the best place for cheese fries, hands down. It's right in the middle of VCU campus, so it does attract a lot of students. The atmosphere is fun and lively.
Village is a classic diner! Good eats and cheap drinks
We really enjoy going there when visiting my vcu daughter. Food is good and waiters are very nice and accommodating. Will return on our next visit to Richmond
I liked it better when it was the old Village..of course it looks better and it's much bigger but has lost its "character"..also the waitress was super slow bringing drinks and hip hop music was pretty much blaring the entire time. No plans of going back!
Disappointing pizza Like getting a frozen pizza and heating it up.
Excellent food and service. If you haven't been, you have to try the veggie burrito! Super filling :)
There is not one thing on the menu I haven't tried and nothing ever disappointed me. I used to go here twice a week when I was studying at VCU and I just loved the food and the ambience over here.
Great food for a college budget!! Great meet up spot on campus for friends, and cool local gem to come to if you're visiting Richmond.
This has to be my favorite local place to eat. All the food I've tried there has been A+ and very affordable for the amount of food you get. Great size portions, everyone is very kind, and fun environment. It can get a bit loud at times so be weary of that. But otherwise, it's a must try!
excellent food, amazing beer selection with lots of local breweries, and the atmosphere is the BEST.
Village Cafe is a good go to when looking for good food and a hometown meal.
I have always liked Village, great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The food is good and decently priced. Great Onion rings and chicken tenders.
I had the tuna melt and it was awesome. The wait staff was friendly and the atmosphere was homelike. I loved it. It's diners drive-ins and dives, people.... Not diners drive-ins and five star restaurants. Great job, guys!
Love a burger a fries. Quick serve and friendly atmosphere
What a fun place near VCU campus. We were looking for something quick, and we found it. We lucked out on finding parking on the street (which was only $1.25 for an hour) and sat ourselves inside. The seats could stand to be reupholstered and it's a tight space, but it wasn't a bother. Our waiter was very nice, and we ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich and a grilled chicken sandwich called "The Joshua." I especially liked my grilled chicken sandwich! Once we were done they got us paid up quickly, which was awesome because we had a lot to do that day. We were there for about a half hour tops! Efficient and yummy.
Only go here if you're reeeeally drunk and need food at late hours. The food is pretty bad and the service isn't much better.
Good place to hit up for a standard bit to eat or drink. Fairly center located to everything, it's a great meet up spot. Grab a milk shake!
Brunch is was solid, can t beat the price. Mimosa buckets were good!
great service but the food was tasteless. I would not go here again.
I go here every time I visit Richmond, it has a cool vibe and good food.
Always good. Great service. Seal yourself, love that.
Got the veggie burger. Bun was not high quality and neither was the lettuce. Perfectly good but not amazing.
New to town, but so far my favorite place in Richmond for comfort food and best fries.
I love it, been coming here for several years now! Specifically, the fried chicken club is always amazing.
Friendly and prompt service, food portions. are plentiful and quality is above average for its' price point
Friendly atmosphere and really good food for an affordable price.
Great food for a decent price. Very homey atmosphere. Onion rings are insanely good!
Great local spot. All of the food is amazing, and there is something for everyone. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting or living in Richmond. Truly a local icon.
Very casual, old diner atmosphere , good food, big portions, service friendly, great, busy downtown location, reasonable prices. Calzone, fish and chips, and omletes were delicious!
This place has a good variety of comfort type foods. Pizza, burgers, breakfast, sandwiches, etc. The price is great, the service has been great every time. The food has always been great too. When you're not sure of where to eat, come here. They have a lot of options and a good curation of craft beer.
Great small bar/restaurant in a busy college town. Lots of home style food. Reasonably priced. My side of broccoli was more than I could eat. Open-faced turkey sandwich was good but a little over seasoned for me. Good service. Super sized menu for such a small place.
True classic to RVA. I'll never give it up and it will never let me down.
Food, service and atmosphere was phenomenal. Bathroom was not suitable for doing coke. 9/10
The server was very patient while I was translating everything.
i just got back from picking up my food. Extremely disappointed. Will not ever order carry out here again. it's a 3 minutes drive to my house, yet when i got home i had a french onion soup that had the lid melt/flake plastic pieces into my soup, (which they placed 2 unstable cups of soup into a bag..... I tried the mozzarella balls which were not hot, but nuke warm with rubbery cheese in a room temperature fried shell they were disgusting. Not as i remember when i ate at the restaurant. seriouslly the only reason i can see it wouldn't be hot is that it took the bartender 10-15 minutes to finally get to me as he had 3 drinks to make.....
Great bar tenders I get my daily dose of let me complain before class. Foods amazing and being a commuter from Newport news this will always be my go to when I'm in richmond!
Fantastic comfort food. Both old school and hip, the Village Cafe is a go-to spot right near the VCU campus. I d be surprised if there s a better breakfast in all of RVA.
Wonderful tasting food, great prices. Prime location, bar nd sports. Ordered buffalo chicken sandwich, it s really yummy. Quesadillas are perfect, one of the best tasting for sure. Decent Customer service. But beware if u try to visit during lunch time, its gonna be real busy.
The service was great and the server was awesome. The food was delicious. I would travel another 2 hours for breakfast again.
50/50 The food is great but one time we were never serviced.
This is a VCU staple. The food is good and its reasonably priced. They display local artwork inside. The seats are old, but comfy. The people are nice, and they have really cool glasses for your drinks.
Usually I come here to have breakfast. The pancakes here is delicious and the servers are kind.
food was good I got the chicken pesto pasta and it was great you also have to try re calzone
american food and the setting at this place is great. Great place to meet and catch up with friends. I look forward to a return trip. This place has an awesome feel to it.
Village cafe is the perfect Saturday morning greasy spoon eatery that college kids crave. The portions are huge but the price is reasonable. Service is fantastic! Both attentive and accommodating. Would totally recommend if you are less into gourmet food pairings and more into eating pancakes as big as your face.
I've loved this place since before I moved to Richmond! The omelettes are wonderful, the burgers are great, and the French fries always satisfy!
Fry score: 8/10
Great welcoming place and the omelets are just the bomb!
Awesome little place, big portions and good food. Makes me consider moving to Richmond!
Awesome staff, delicious food, and lovely location. Can t recommend enough!
I had the Turkey Reuben and a boilermaker. Love the food and atmosphere. If you ever go ask for Irene and tell her Anthony sent you. BEST EVER!!!
Great selection, friendly staff, reasonably priced.
It's amazing how great this food is.. I can't get enough
Good food at great prices.. Pizza fries and mashed potatoes are great..
Food slaps and the giant pitcher sized waters are dope
Excellent service. The place was packed and the wait to be seated ran about 15/20 minutes. Once my party was seated, i ordered Fish and Chips. My ordered came fairly quick, considering The amount of patrons that were present. The cod was moist, piping hot and the fries were crisp, hot and flavorful. The Arnold Palmer (tea/lemonade mix) drink wasn't shabby either.
Love the village... especially when I was a VCU student! Cheap and fairly quick. Good food, fantastic milkshakes.
God tier place right down from the VCU library.
I go in. I order some corned beef hash for about 3.50. I get served an ENTIRE PLATE OF HASH.
I order a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. Comes with hash browns.
They give me a sandwich that TAKES UP MOST OF THE PLATE, and the hash browns are quartered potatoes, sauteed with onions.
This place has some of the best portion sizes I have ever seen. If you dont have a problem with 5-9 dollar foods (almost everything falls in that range), then definitely check this place out.
Just dont order any of the pasta related foods unless you are prepared to take home leftovers.
Place says they are open till 2am but you cant order food after 11pm. So, what do they sell from 11-2? We were very rushed. Toast was burnt, they must have run out of hashbrowns because we got half hashbrowns and half french fries... smh...
Some good comfort diner food. Service is great. The fried chicken is terrible. They tout their milkshakes but I'd go to the galaxy if that's what I wanted. They're infinitely better there. Overall I'd say go to the Village for convenience. Go to the Galaxy on Cary if you have the time and you're graving a diner menu.
Great service. Awesome omelets with a wonderful atmosphere.
Definite richmond vibe. Food is fresh. The fried cheese was delicious. I had the chicken quesadilla. It wasn't unique, but well made. And of course the milkshakes were bomb! The only thing we wouldn't recommend is the meatball sub. My husband got it and said it was bland and unimpressive.
This place was pretty good. Can't go wrong with the beer selection and the food was decent.
