| - I dont live too far from The Village Pub. It's nestled in between a 24-hour taco shop and a storage facility. It promises video poker jackpots and a friendly atmosphere. Needless to say it's not overly inviting from the outside - but proximity as well as the opinions of fellow Yelpers finally convinced me to try out this nearby restaurant.
As with most local bars, you can choose to go into a restaurant portion or the bar portion of the building. The restaurant is smoke free, and although this location is relatively new, the restaurant interior suggests otherwise. Everything is clean and in good condition - it just looks much older.
We went for dinner on Saturday night and there were only a few other patrons seated inside. There was no hostess stand or any sign directing us to seat ourselves. The waitress walked by where we were standing, even said hello, but never told us to seat ourselves. Not a big deal, just a weird interaction.
Having read the reviews on Yelp I knew what kind of menu to expect. I knew I wanted a burger and I knew DC was going to get the fish and chips. We also decided on a pint of EI beer and the sweet potato tots. The waitress was very pleased with our tots selection and really started raving about them. When they came out, they were served with plastic tub of syrup - our waitress said the syrup took the tots to a whole different level.
She was right. Seriously. sweet potato tots may hold the key to world peace. They were hot and sweet and savory all at the same time. They had the right amount of crunch and were not greasy at all. These would be great for breakfast, great for kids as a side dish, and definitely great at 3am after having a couple beers at the bar next door.
DC loved his fish and chips. Three giant pieces of cod that were seriously fresh. DC marveled at how good it was, and he was disappointed that he was served more food than he could comfortably fit into his belly.
I ordered the Southwest burger, which was topped with sauteed onions and jalapenos, cheese, and guacamole (also chipotle mayo, but I opted out). This burger was massive, hot, and delicious. Mine was cooked a little more well done than I asked for, but I'm not overly picky about that. The burger had serious spice from the jalapenos, but it was fantastic.
Overall, the food was far better than the exterior of the building suggests. The price was ridiculously low for what we got. Our waitress was very friendly, even though a little awkward at times.
I can't speak to the rest of the Village Pub locations and the quality of their food, but if you're ever down in this part of the Valley, stop in and get some exceptional food at a fantastic price.
