Great place to have a bite & even better to have drinks with friends and a bite ! Very courteous from the moment you enter the door. Very clean and atmosphere is cozy & fun. Beautiful bar area and they do have some drink specials. Video gaming is available if you like & there's a dining area if you have a group & would rather have a table. Great variety menu and all is tasty. We ordered different dishes to share so we could taste test lol. Prices are very reasonable especially when you consider portions. Highly recommend the Caprese salad & pasta with Arrabiata sauce. The garbage salad comes packed with plenty of goodies & you can choose from a variety of dressings. There's an appetizer menu if you're not in the mood for a full meal. Outdoor seating is available ( if the weather plays along lol)
This is a definite stop and relax kind of place with amazing food & hospitality to match!

Decided to try Village Pub since it kept coming up on my social media, and we were not disappointed. The service was great and the food was phenomenal!! Will definitely be back. Ordered the sausage and peppers in white sauce, pasta faigioli, lasagna and chicken vesuvio.

What a pleasant surprise! We had an amazing meal with great service. Can't wait to go back!

We stopped in based on other reviews and I'm glad we did. GREAT service with Carol and awesome food! We'll definitely be back when we're in the area.

Great place for lunch dinner or just drinks & appetizers.

Sit at the bar with Tiffany and watch football.

Awesome food for take out on these below zero days.

Was there last night. I started with the Stracciatella soup and had the shrimp, broccoli and linguine in garlic and oil for my main. It was all phenomenal!! My husband had the shrimp risotto with asparagus - it was also amazing. Our son had a patty melt...cooked perfectly. Thanks for a great meal from one of our favorite places.

The service was extraordinary! We have been doing our company Christmas party there for several years now and we're concerned with new ownership but it was a terrific experience as always! Food,service, and atmosphere were excellent as always!

This visit was a whole new level and we're planning a new tradition to match. Years ago I was introduced to the Village Pub by friends who live in the area, and are lifelong customers. The restaurant, bar, and catering at parties is always great. Seriously, their consistency is supernatural. Same with service...service professionals who take your enjoyment very seriously. The new tradition is side dishes. We're going to order soup (we were told the soup guy is new) and tons of sides because there are just too many to try. All amazing. Even the velvety coleslaw. Nothing is an afterthought. Atmosphere is great, just gets too loud to talk at busy times, and we like to talk!

Great food. Great service. Every dish is unique and delicious making you want to come back again and try another! The party room is a nice and private area to host a small-medium sized event. The bar has a ton of drink options and beers on tap. I always look forward to eating here!

Great Italian food! The atmosphere is awesome! Gets loud at times but it is an Italian eatery! Staff is super mindful. One of my favorites. Makes Olive Garden look like a McDonald’s.

Nothing short of a 5 star dining experience. The staff is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable with the menu options. The food is exceptional. Perfect spot for meeting up with friends, datw nite or a family outing l

We hosted a baby shower yesterday at the Village Pub. The food was great, the owners and all the staff were efficient, helpful and kind. It was an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Thank you!

It had been at least 15 years since I had last been to Village Pub. Someone mentioned they had been revamped(maybe a new owner??), so on a whim, we stopped for dinner and I'm so glad we did!! We had the fried calamari for an appetizer. It was fresh, crispy and delicious. My fiance had the minestrone soup which was good. For our entrees we went havesies and got the NY strip steak sandwich and the pub burger. Both were delicious, cooked perfectly to order!! Both came with a generous portion of fries and a deli style pickle, yum!! Because dinner was so good, we ordered the tirimsu and mini cannoli for dessert which we took to go. Again, both were delicious!! I believe it was the owner, stopped by a few times to check on us, which I absolutely appreciate!! Loved this experience and will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!!

I was there for an office party - loved the food, the waitstaff was pleasantly unobtrusive and completely efficient- but we were WAY too noisy for my taste - which doesn't mean that the Village Pub should be blamed in any way. It was a bit crowded for a Thursday night- or maybe it's always that way.

I honestly cannot say more about the owner, George the bartendar The waitress, Chris, or any waitress the boss boys you just feel like you’re at home and being treated like part of their family. If you haven’t tried this place, you have to go and bring your family. I brought my sister and my niece today they were blown away honestly if you haven’t tried this, the prices are so much lower then any other place I’ve gone, and the food is better than any other place I have gone! Diamond in the for sure! If you don’t love it, I’ll give your money back. Lol.

Outstanding atmosphere, and exceptional food. Staff was over the top as well. Sausage and peppers was delicious!! Will be back soon!

Great food and a friendly staff, but I think it may need a new name. This is more of an old school Italian restaurant than a pub. It was great, and I and my party were happy to have found it, but it wasn't at all what we were looking for.

Food and service were excellent it's a little pricey but then my wife and I don't get out much so it certainly could be the average definitely will be going back on those discounted days

Booked my daughters baby shower in the private party room and was so very grateful for the experience. Food was phenomenal, service spectacular and ambiance was amazing. George and his staff made the party a glorious success!!! Thank you Village Pub for making this event a day to remember. ❤❤❤

We got the corn beef and cabbage hot meal and a corn beef sandwich. This was the best corn beef I’ve ever had bar none including the New York Delis. I have enjoyed most of the menu and without a doubt it is phenomenal. It is our go to place for outstanding food and atmosphere.💗
