Village Inn

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago Colorado Springs had 7 or 8 Village Inns and now we’re down to just the two. Fortunately, the one on Duryea is close to our house so we still get over there a couple times a month for breakfast. They just finished a remodel and we like what they’ve done. It seems like it’s more open, with an increase in seating capacity, new tables, chairs, and booths, along with new flooring. We’ve heard some people aren’t thrilled, but we are fine with it. The food is still good, as is the service. On this visit my wife got the Country Music Star Omelette, but substituted green chili for the sausage gravy. I ordered the Ultimate Skillet with a side of green chili. We both thought our selections were very good, and the portion sizes and prices still seem reasonable. I think we’ll both be happy that we still have a Village Inn close by and that they’re trying to make it better, instead of complaining. So yeah, we’re recommending the Village Inn on Duryea!

(((Approx 2023))) Never had been here before, but SO GLAD we came here! Loved our breakfast & we also ordered a Caramel Pecan Silk Pie for Thanksgiving. It looked amazing in the pie case! (((((UPDATE as of Aug 2025))))) They have revamped their whole restaurant image & their menu! I am loving the new look & the new menu items & will be visiting more often!

Village inn got a huge upgrade. The kids were not excited about the change. There is less privacy of the tables. But the overall look is very updated and pretty, a nice atmosphere. We noticed that the portion sizes are bigger. And the recipes taste delicious. I haven't tried their new pie varieties but I bet they're good too.

The food is always good and consistent. I really like the staff. They have all been there for a while and are great with our kids. My table is always clean and the food is cooked how I request it. My favorite meal is the biscuits and gravy, which I order with eggs over-easy. From an atmosphere standpoint, it is definitely due for an update. They have done well mending the rips in the benches and other signs of aging, however aside of the damages from age, it is dated and would benefit from being modernized to fit in to this century. Overall, I like coming here though, because my kids enjoy it and I can count on the staff and food. I will continue to return.

When I received a BOGO Any Skillet coupon for the Village Inn in the mail, I knew my prayers had been answered. The crispy potatoes. The superb service. This meal was not just something I wanted, but something I needed.

Been to village inn plenty of times but it’s the first time at this location. Love the comfort food, the portion size, and the cost. We ordered from the breakfast menu. All great food. Also free slice of pie Wednesday is great! The environment and the staff are fantastic here. I strongly recommend village inn.

OOF! This was supposed to be a “Grand Reopening”. Monday night, the place was about half full, but I think I only saw 3 servers. 6 of us, 4 adults and 2 kids sat down at ten to 6:00 for a fun “Brinner”. We all ordered breakfast at right about 6:00. The waitress, Lauren, refilled water once in the next 30 minutes when we finally got the kids pancakes. At 6:35, Lauren brought food to our table that wasn’t ours. When Lauren finally brought the right order, we didn’t get an apology, just an excuse that the systems were new. We finally were able to eat the food we ordered at almost the 40 minute mark, all of which apparently had been sitting on the line for an extended period of time. Some of the food was old and chewy as a result of sitting for so long, although the pancakes and my omelette were still pretty good. My order was supposed to come with pancakes, but those were left out. Lauren told me she would bring them right out, but of course they didn’t come until I asked again. I did get an apology for that one. It took forever to get bad service from this restaurant. Right now I don’t see a reason to ever come back. I’m thoroughly disappointed Village Inn.

Turkey sausage and hash brown burned and served. I requested new order. I find it very odd that the cook would bury burnt hash brown underneath Chicken Fried steak, and expect customers to be satisfied

Food was awesome, service is definitely a 100 out of 10, and the newly remodeled restaurant makes it one of the nicest restaurants in town. The only thing that saddened us was the removal of their corn beef and hash for breakfast. The wife my and I came in specifically for it after church, but was told it was discontinued. Whether they're a franchise or corporate we would like to plead or beg that you bring it back.

Disappointed is all I can really say. Coffee tasted like soap. Way, way too many onions in the meal and I was given about 2 bites of hashbrowns. Plus they informed us as we walked in they were out of pancakes and waffles. The menu said they're made from scratch. Hopefully it was just a bad day. The other location was nothing like this.

Came here for a quick breakfast on a Friday morning. We were sat immediately but the service was slow. They also served our kid a cup that was leaking and we couldn't find anyone to take it until our food was served. I chose the Denver omlete and it was delicious, eggs cooked perfectly and very tasty. The hash browns were over done and burnt but I was happy with the toast. We thought about ordering pie but our server gave us our check without asking or giving us the opportunity to ask so we decided no and left. Don't expect much from a village inn, average food and below average service.

My wife, adult daughter and I visited this restaurant for supper a few nights ago. We arrived to the restaurant at 6:50pm. The location was convenient, the parking lot was full, we were not greeted upon entering, the manager of the restaurant finally greeted us with an irritated, sour look on his face (he was obviously stressed) which made us want to turn around and leave the place immediately, we were seated, our order wasn't taken for at least 20 minutes, our food arrived warm about 15 minutes later, our server was polite and patient, the food was delicious though expensive, the dining room was packed but clean, the restroom was decent and didn't smell bad, and no music was playing in the dining room.

I LOVE Village Inn. It's myself and my son and grandson's favorite spots! Not to mention affordable. We love to meet on an off day and go here and get yummy breakfast or lunch! Service is always pretty good! It's not been the cleanest lately because they have been short staffed but I was told they are getting a whole new revamp of the interior! Which means they are not closing like a few others did.

Service was fantastic. Great vibes from employees when you walk in and it really makes a difference. They pranked one of them saying our table requested him and it was funny because he didn't recognize us . I hope this location doesn't close down. We enjoyed our food and service.

Seated promptly on a Sunday morning around 10 AM. No server acknowledgment for quite a while for coffee and juice, etc. Food took a very long time to be served. Nothing exotic - pancakes, eggs, and bacon all around. It's a pancake house for crying out loud. Only watery maple "syrup" was provided. Coffee was on the weak side and the pancakes had a "different" taste to them. I was not impressed and would probably not return. Loads of people waiting to be seated when we left. I really wanted to warn them what they were waiting to experience. Perkins is so much better! McDonald's, too, for that matter.

Free pie Wednesdays and a really fine menu and great services Lots of coffee and the food far better than list level of restaurant usual offers

Our server Kai was awsome, everything was great. Will definitely be back to see Kai. The restaurant was clean.

It has been YEARS since I was in a Village Inn. We received a gift card and happened to be out early (ugggg!) so we decided to stop in for brunch. It was great! That homemade sausage patties were the best. Interior just like I remember. Clean and very friendly. I belive our server was Eric. I almost left with a pie but restrained myself! Yum!

Damn, their food, especially pies, are so good. But their service not so. Ordered 3 pie slices online but when I went to pickup, curbside, no one ever came out. After 10 min I had to go inside. There was no server in sight for another 10 min. Two of us were waiting. We could hear staff in the back. Finally, someone came out but when I told them that I was picking up an order they had to go in the back, cut and bag my order, which took another 10 min. Online ordering way too hard. But having staff partying in the back was not good.

Rude waitress, waited 40 minutes for our food and when it was brought to the waitress's attention, she said that things happen sometimes. Never an apology. This used to be a nice and friendly restaurant but not anymore. Wouldn't recommend. Western Omelette and other locally owned and run restaurants are far much better.

Already reviewed them and these are the pictures of the terrible condition their seats are in.

Going to review the service and not the food, because I haven't eaten yet. Super helpful staff! Ordered my food to go after changing my mind from Sonic nearby because they keep on messing up my orders over there. And Sonic is slow most of the time even in the drive-through. As I was sitting there, waiting for my food, they even came by to let me know that it was gonna be out in just a few more minutes. After thinking the assistant manager (Pam) we chatted for a few more minutes. The girl who took my order was really courteous also. Good job all around! Whoever the head manager is... Nice job on hiring! Make sure you keep them!

It was a good experience and the omelettes are great! I also highly recommend the biscuits, and the special breakfast meal!

Food was mediocre, there was a hair in my fruit and my toast was burnt. Seems like they're short staffed, the waitress we had was running everywhere and forgot what I had ordered twice. I've been coming here off and on for years and have never been so disappointed.

Food looks and tastes amazing..... was assisted by Kai and she made amazing recommendations as i was on a budget..... got breakfast and a slice of pie.... I will definately come back as to her amazing customwr service

We went in for breakfast about 3 weeks ago but didn't stay because a host's appearance looked like a homeless person. We were not comfortable eating at a place where employees were allowed to dress with filthy clothes. Wondered how dirty the kitchen would be. Questionable management practice!

Good pie! We popped in after Saturday night church to share a slice of pie. Berry pies are generally lower calorie, so we split a slice of Strawberry Rhubarb. The consistency and taste were great. The only con was the Rhubarb was not real soft. It had a bit of crunch to it. The coffee and service was great and the Manager stopped by to check on us before we left. We've haven't eaten a meal here yet but we will be back for pie!

Used to be a nice place to take the family for breakfast. Something has surely ruined this place. Waitress said some kind of ownership,change. Needs to be bought out by a restaurant operator with pride. Or bulldozed and turned into apartments.

Stopped in for one of their wonderful desserts. Our server "JADA" was great. Ordered: Country Apple Pie Ala Mode with caramel sauce and nuts. Wonderful.. Triple Berry Pie Ala Mode. Also Wonderful.. Great service and food. Can't be beat..

If you are ordering pies during the holidays, you may want to rethink it. If you pre order and pay, you must pick up behind the building and wait in line for 30 min or more. If you walk in and buy...in and out in under 5 minutes. Not sure the point of pre ordering if the system to distribute pies is not organized. Mind you...these are pre ordered and by name. Not a grad concept. Horrible!!!!

Please rename this skillet to "potato with tiny amount of veggie skillet". I chose this skillet because there were no potatoes in the description and the picture looked like it was just filled with vegetables. That is not what I got. It is 90% potato. Also, when ordering online it would be great for you to add a non-bread option for the "required" side for those of us that are trying to eat healthy.

So I've eaten at the village in many times and all times have had good quality food. Until today.I ordered a garden salad off of DoorDash and did not expect this. Very distasteful and unsatisfactory.

Popped in for a quick bite while getting vehicle serviced nearby. The staff was very friendly here! Everyone from our host, server and cashier! Restaurant is clean and open, lots of space and windows so it's bright. Food was good and fast as well!

The Village Inn Colorado Springs located on Garden of the Gods before the on ramp for I25, has horrible food. My chicken ranch sandwich was so flavorless and over-dried & overcooked, I LEFT FEELING LIKE I NEED TO DEMAND MY MONEY Back!!! $39.98 NEEDS TO BE REFUNDED WOW!!!

I enjoy this Village Inn because the food always tastes hot, fresh and delicious. And my favorite waitress there is Luisa, who is an absolute sweetheart and in my opinion one of the best waitresses I have ever encountered. She always remembers my preferences and never lets my drink go empty. She is superb.

Our server was very kind and sweet (I forgot her name, and unfortunately) but the whole place was filthy and disgusting. The napkins our silverware was wrapped in were disgusting and covered in different stains and specks of food, silverware was covered in crusted bits of food, tables weren't thoroughly wiped down and covered in crumbs and syrup stains, floor was covered in crumbs, bathroom was disgusting. Food was good but my pancakes were covered in black bits of char (I'm assuming). Overall, the appearance is concerning as the appearance of a restaurants hints to the safety and hygiene measures they partake in.

I am spending Thanksgiving alone this year and ordered a turkey dinner with pecan pie at 11am to be picked up at 4pm. What I got was crap. No biscuit but garlic bread, no cranberry sauce, and the gravy was beef gravy not turkey gravy. Also they ran out of pecan pie. Village Inn on Durayea is going downhill fast.

Food is just average. Service is always really slow.. Server brought the food out and said she would bring us syrup but did not come back and had to go to the kitchen entrance and ask some on in the kitchen for some.

I feel so bad for the employees here. This review is not a reflection on them at all. They are doing their best and the food is delicious. It's not even management's fault. It is clearly gross and egregious neglect from the owner or corporate. So please don't reply asking for more information. The information is here and I'm not giving you anymore of my time when you clearly don't give any time or consideration to this location. When we arrived there was a 15-20 minute wait, even though the restaurant was empty because they were so short staffed. One of the cooks was serving and servers and managers were cooking in the back. It was pure chaos. They had no clean cups because they had no dishwasher and every inch of the restaurant was absolutely filthy. They had all their morning cooks walk out on Friday and Saturday they almost shut down completely because cooks left crying. How do I know this? Because the employees had to explain their dire situation to every customer that walked in. This restaurant should be shut down and all employees placed on paid leave until the owner/corporate can fix the serious neglect this location suffers from.

Much better! Quick service and our food was hot when it was served within 15 minutes after ordering. This is the service and quality we have seen in the past. You have regained our confidence in your restaurant. Thank you, Brian (Manager) for calling and discussing this with me and for encouraging us to give you another chance. Your staff did not disappoint and your efforts were greatly appreciated. Also, thanks, Matt, for responding to my previous review.

Came into Village Inn while my truck was being on at Toyota and let me just say I totally thought all of our VIs were closed and I am SO happy this one is still open. The staff alone made our day multiple times. Our waitress Melissa was so sweet and attentive. She got three tables at once and took care of us all. And the gentlemen busting tables made sure we were doing okay and said hi to the kiddos. It was extra nice that when my daughter decided to scream and we got some looks he talked back with her and made her laugh. It was a very enjoyable breakfast!

I purchased a French Silk Pie from this Village Inn (Colorado Springs Colorado 7384 Duryea Drive) during Christmas Season, 2022... to serve as dessert for a family function. The pie was inedible. Way too sweet. Sickening, syrupy sweet. Terrible. Disappointing. There has to be a better bakery in Colorado Springs. I'm done with Village Inn.

After getting up and wanting breakfast, I decided to go to my favorite place in Colorado Springs, Village Inn. I am from Dallas and we do not have this chain. Today was a bittersweet experience for me. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and the chips it came with were supposed to be crispy, I had the hardest time biting into the chip, the few pieces of chicken were stale and there was a sauce on top of it all that I was not familiar with. I mentioned to the manager what had happened and both he and our waitress apologized, and offered that I order something else from the menu. After mentioning I was already full from just the eggs and didn't want to order anything else, the waitress comped my meal without hassle and was very polite. All I wanted was to give a heads up! This experience made me give this location a 5 Star. Customer service was great for me today and I hope they keep it going that way for the long run of the restaurant. Thank you Village Inn!

I can see why most of these have closed down. Walked in and checked our names in was told it was a 20-30 minute wait. Bigger family walked in right after me and they were told 10-15 minute wait... Finally got seated after almost an hour, ordered a French toast combo it comes with the option of bacon or sausage, so I asked if I could substitute the meat for something else because I don't eat pork, the server told me no. I said well I don't eat pork so can you just add the difference for a different side? He said he asked his co-worker and they said no they can't do that. So before I got mad my husband suggested they order it meatless and just add a side of hash browns. I don't understand how a breakfast place can only offer pork side options... 2 eggs also came with the meal, I asked for over medium and was given very over easy, wayyy too runny and the whites not cooked all the way. Yuck. The server never came and checked on us or asked how the food was. He dropped off the food and the check together and never came back.

Village Inn used to be one of our favorite restaurants when we came to Colorado on vacation. Now we are living here and so disappointed. We loved their Chicken noodle soup down to the broth. Now there is no flavor. We did see where an old time favorite was added back to the menu. It was good but had to ask for our mashed potatoes. Then the pie selection is so small that getting a free piece of pie on Wednesday is not worth it. Just sad.

Smellly cleanliness not the best lacks staff and the food is mediocre. Sorry but not good. If any of these important, hard pass. Shame. I used to be a fan.

The food and pies are amazing. However the customer service is some left to be desired! The last three time here, have been a nightmare. When you make a reservation for pie pickup two days prior and a certain time, you need to stick with that time. Also, telling customers to wait outside while it 25 and wind is blowing crazy is lack of common sense. Let them know to wait in their car and they will be called on their cell phone. Come on, comment sentinel above are probably reasons why the other locations have closed their doors.

Our host and server were friendly and helpful. Josh was very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed (unique these days). The food was just good comfort food. Chicken fried steak and eggs. Not the best steak, but pretty good. Gravy was a bit salty for our preference. We HAD to take some pie home... and yes, it was delicious too.

Frozen, not fresh "Would you like to place an order for one of our fresh pies?" Said the girl as she answered the phone. I was calling to complain that TWO HOURS after bringing it home, my "fresh" pie was still frozen. I'm not sure what dictionary Village Inn uses but in mine frozen does not equal fresh. Shame on you and stop advertising your pies as fresh.

This is a great family restaurant. The service is solid, the manager always asks if we had a good experience, the food hits the spot & the prices are really reasonable. I bring my elderly mom here all the time & they treat her so well. I appreciate this restaurant.

We're here today and my husband ordered the Ruben burger with coleslaw. It was very good. I ordered a Classy Cobb salad. The salad looked wet and the chicken was dry. I told the manager and she kindly suggested I order something else. I ordered a mushroom, onion, spinach and cheese omelette with a side of hash browns. The meal looked good, but I didn't have a fork to eat it with. Our waitress left and we were left to looking out for her. She didn't come by so my husband went to get one for me. The omelette was just scrambled eggs folded in half on my plate. There was no spinach and few onion pieces. The hash browns were good. It's a shame that the cook today was sloppy and service was not as good as other times we've been here..

There was a mixup with my Grubhub order, so I called in to find out what to do and Muhammad answered and was AMAZING. Such an amazing employee, took care of the mixup himself and brought me my order, he even brought us a slice of pie for the mixup that my baby brother loved. Fantastic human, fantastic service!

Great service!! My server was super friendly and fast, providing everything I asked for far above my expectations. I was further impressed by the fact it appeared she had a large amount of tables, including myself. I was also pleased to see the assistant manager circulating the restaurant, checking in on tables to see if they needed anything. The restaurant itself seemed like it had a very busy lunch, as I arrived at around 3. There were some empty tables that were dirty and the floor was peppered in crumbs, but I suppose you would expect that around this time. I ordered the Double Decker Club with fries and an Ice T and Coke (Odd quirk of mine). After, a slice of pecan pie. The sandwich wasn't noteworthy, but it was exactly what you would expect from a diner. The only reason it wasn't five stars was because the fries were served under-cooked. Minor flaw.

The same old menu. Good with all American food and deserts. Reminds me alot of Danny's just a little nicer

We have been coming to this Village Inn for several years. Always clean! The staff are friendly and professional looking. The food has always been very good. My orders have always been correct. Today I ordered the VIB Supreme. You can select from a variety of breakfast items on the menu and create your own meal. It was very good! Of course we will be back!!!

This is the best village inn I have been to. My brother and I come every week on Wednesday for free pie for the past two years. We have had very few problems and a lot of good food from this location in particular. Almost all the servers are extremely nice and very attentive. My only complaint was that the free pie selection sometimes does not include the featured pie like they used to do and just the fruit and a few others.

Food was great, but the waitress was quite rude. My sister and I were waiting for my car (being repaired at the Toyota dealership) and wanted to grab some breakfast at the same time. Our waitress was pleasant at first, but when we took our computers to do some work she was not happy. We were obviously going to purchase food and drinks during the wait so we didn't just take up a table, but she wouldn't check on us or even grab waters. As soon as we ordered a light breakfast, she brought us our check 5 minutes after as if to say "now you can leave". It was an unpleasant experience until the general manager checked on us a few times just to see if we needed anything. Overall, she was more concerned about how fast her tables were turning rather than the customer experience. I would spend a few extra minutes in the car and go to a different VI.
