Village Inn - Peoria

Breakfast was amazing, and the price was great for the amount of food you get, plus free slice of pie on

We order the ultimate skillet every time we go. But this is our first time at this location! Our sausages weren't even cooked they took them back and gave us some cooked ones. The potatoes were very dry and hard. I didn't even get the required portion of eggs. I asked to speak to the manager, but they never came out. The waiter offered us a slice of pie for whatever reason but I refused to eat anything there after this morning...

When they have specials, it's a good deal even if most of the food isn't prepped from scratch, it's a higher quality of pre-prepared than most places. We went for the Sweetheart Meal Deal where there's a pretty good choice of entrées to choose from for the 2 for $25 deal which also included 2 slices of pie. We both had the chicken-fried steak (seemed like actual tenderized beef rather than ground beef that a lot of places use, and the coating adhered well and was crisp and mashed potatoes (okay, but I was surprised the gravy was as good as it was--it didn't start congealing on my plate as it cooled except my partner had the broccoli and I had the onion rings.The place was clean, the decor was plain, and the servers were pleasant, and one was making the rounds offering free samples of a new pie. My partner's choc silk pie was okay except for a tough crust and whipped cream(? that should have been added at the last minute instead of sitting with in the fridge which made it kinda gummy, and my peanut butter cup slice was downright icky. The cream(? was like globs rather than when I took my fork to them, they fell off and I fully expected them to make a plunking sound. I showed this to my server and he offered no explanation or attempt to make it right. Seems to me this slice was uncovered and old, and if we weren't on our way to a movie, I would've complained and asked for a replacement. Even the peanuts on top tasted old and flavorless and looked nasty. For a place supposedly known for pies, they need to up their game.Seems during Lent they have fish specials which might be worth checking out next year, although I asked and they said it isn't battered on site and that was no surprise. This location also has Bingo which I was told is very popular so it's nice they have something like that for the locals and to cultivate loyalty.Parking: Plenty of parking in a parking lot by store.

My favorite spot for before the gym, always good service and good food. I always order the omlettes with pancakes

I was visiting Arizona for vacation and stopped in for a quick breakfast bite. The food was delicious; I had pancakes and eggs. Our server Cody was also very friendly and gave us some fun local ideas on places to visit. Great little spot!
