Village Corner Comfort Kitchen & Bar

This place was jumping!! The servers were so polite and punctual. The blackened salmon was fire!!! The dark chocolate mint they give you at the end is SOOOOO refreshing.

We recently went out for brunch at the Village Corner, marking my first visit, though my sister has been there several times and always speaks highly of it. I decided to give it a try based on her recommendations. We arrived around 12:30, and as expected, the place was fairly crowded. From what I gathered, this is typical, as the restaurant is known for being busy.Our server, Mazak, was exceptional--friendly and attentive--but it was apparent from the start that they were understaffed. Mazak was the only person handling our section and was also responsible for the outdoor tables, which were numerous. Due to this, the service was notably slow. It took a while for someone to come to our table to take our initial orders, and the wait for food was longer than anticipated.I ordered scrambled eggs, a side of bacon, and toast. The first item to arrive was the toast, which appeared barely toasted and looked like plain white bread. I asked Mazak if they could toast it more, and he kindly took it back. When my full order finally arrived, the eggs and toast were there, but the toast was only marginally darker. It still didn't meet my expectations for toast. Additionally, the bacon was missing, so I inquired about it. Mazak explained that the bacon was mixed into the eggs, but I clarified that I had ordered it as a separate side. He quickly put in the order for the side of bacon, but by the time it came out, I had nearly finished my meal. To add to the disappointment, the bacon was overcooked to the point of being dehydrated, crumbling into pieces when touched.While the service was undeniably slow due to the understaffing, the staff was as friendly as could be. The menu itself looked impressive, and I could see why others might enjoy dining here. However, my meal was underwhelming, and if a place struggles with simple items like eggs, bacon, and toast, it's hard to have full confidence.Despite the experience, I'd consider giving the Village Corner another try, perhaps after 3 PM to sample their later menu, which might be more in line with their strengths. The restaurant has a charming, locally-owned, neighborhood feel that I appreciate, and many folks seem to genuinely enjoy it. Hopefully, next time the experience will be more aligned with the reputation my sister and others have described.

Great service! Wished they had bottomless mimosas here. This was our first brunch here. We sat at the bar. I had a fantastic meal of the chicken and waffles! I didn't have to fight the bones on the chicken. It had a great crunch. My fiance had the worst biscuit and gravy ever. He saw my chicken and waffles and got those to go. Oh and the bacon with them was on point. My preferred mimosa in the flight would be the pineapple one. We most likely will be back since we live close but won't be ordering the biscuits and gravy again.

Cute local spot. I'd seen the good reviews and was interested in checking it out. There seemed to be some tasty looking options on the menu, so I went for lunch one day. It wasn't busy and the service was good. I ordered the chicken & waffles which I thought were decent. The chicken could have used a bit more flavor and some salt. The waffle was different from what I've had before. They describe it as a pearl waffle, which is very sweet and you can literally taste the crunch and texture of the sugar as you bite and chew it. Didn't hate it! It was actually good. The next time I go though, I'd probably be interested in trying the shrimp and grits or salmon. I'm looking forward to returning.

Im not sure what happened here but Village Corner is definitely not a tapas bar any longer regardless of what the description in Yelp says about this restaurant. While it's still a casual restaurant, with pretty good service, it's more of a sandwich restaurant but not quite a delicatessen. I'm guessing their old business model wasn't working out and just adjusted. It has both indoor and outdoor seating and seems like a nice place to relax with friends. Our visit this time just consisted of two sandwiches and a couple of beers. The "Hot Hot Chicken Sammy" is described as a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich but it definitely isn't a Nashville. It's a decent chicken sandwich covered in a moderately spicy sauce that I think would taste good on wings. It came with fries that had what I think was a Cajun style seasoning which gave it a nice kick. My wife had the "Village Club" which was very good with the sourdough bread but I thought it tasted a little different. It took me a minute but I realized there was Swiss Cheese on the sandwich which I thought was odd for a Club but it actually tasted good. It also didn't have the extra slice that of bread in the center of the sandwich which, in my opinion, is an essential part of a club sandwich. It was good regardless. This restaurant has changed numerous times over the years but it's a decent place to grab some lunch.

We stopped by on a whim while in the area this past weekend and were blown away. Service was quick, thorough and friendly (in spite of the brunch rush), the food was stellar, and the outdoor area was well furnished and arranged. The pictures of the food tell you everything you need to know!

The most personally heart wrenching review I have had the displeasure of writing in a minute..... Oh how the mighty have fallen. I have no idea what happened to this once outstanding neighborhood restaurant. Did they get new owners, a new cooking staff or did they just get tired of being great?My husband and I went here today and nothing nice happened from the moment we crossed the threshold. The place was about as busy as it usually is. A good mix of families, friends and couples. To get started, I ordered a coconut daiquiri it wasn't sweet and tasted of strawberry. I asked them to make it minus the strawberry. They sent me what looked and tasted like warm, dirty soapy, dish water in a champagne glass. Why did they do this?Their menu has been streamlined, and it seems as if they kept the boring stuff. The entrees were really bad. My husband ordered the burger and fries. The fries were limp and soggy and the seasoning was weird too. He remarked, that the burger was unremarkable but not terrible. He gave up about three bites in. I ordered the hot wings because they were described on the menu as "crispy." What I got was the most disgusting, tough wings I have ever been served! I could barely bite through the thick leathery skin. An hour later and I am literally still chewing on the rubbery chicken skin in my mouth. There was nothing crispy or tasty about these wings. The sauce tasted like sweet baby rays with hot sauce thrown in. I ended up only eating the carrots and ranch on my plate, oh and the mint chocolate they provide at the meal end. The young blonde woman who seated us was not friendly but not exactly "rude" either. She was the hostess each time we have been here, and this young girl who waited on us was exactly the same. On a human level, I have concerns about how management is actually treating the staff for everyone to be so indifferent and visibly unhappy. I love supporting local businesses, and this used to be our favorite restaurant in our neighborhood. People have even given me gift card(s) because I used to enjoy it so much. Now I seriously doubt I will ever return.

Food was very good and large portions. Potatoes came out ice cold so that was a bummer. I am so they are delicious when hot. Overall restaurant was nice and will be back.

Thanks to Yelp we found this fantastic restaurant! Great atmosphere, love the menu, and a great choice of draft beers!Topped off with excellent service by Alysa and thus my 5 rating!

I got the chicken and waffles and the waffle was amazing. I don't know how this is possible but I've never had chicken that looked seasoned but was completely bland until now. It's like they put the seasoning on after frying it and not during the cooking process. I'll go back just for the waffle because it was that amazing but I'll never order their fried chicken again.
