The menu has a large selection, the portions are good size, and I love the salad bar option. The food is pretty good, I have only been disappointed in what I ordered a couple of times. I eat here often and the service is really good. I love the fact that this is one of the few restaurants that doesn't have TV's all over the place, so I can enjoy the company of the person I am dining with!

Chicken was crispy and plentiful but lacked seasoning. We also got the salad bar but was to hard to get to the fixings in the back so everything was kind of falling into everything near it. Server was excellent. She was quick, witty and never missed a step. Plenty of room for our party.

Don’t order the French Dip! Salad bar was good for an additional fee of 3.99 with non deluxe plate. 2.99 with deluxe plate which means comes with fries. Gyro plate was very good.

We are out of town and passing through. LOVE the sweet tea! Freshly brewed in house. The chicken was crispy and seasoned perfect! My husband got the chicken stir-fry and cleaned his plate! Customer service was excellent. Resturant is very very clean. They have a variety of homemade pies, cheesecakes and cakes…the turtle cheesecake was DELICIOUS! We will be back!

After being very disappointed at another restaurant, we decided to go to the Village Garden Family. The menu has a large selection and the portions are good sized. Oh boy was the salad bar fantastic. I loved it. Our food was not only delicious, but absolutely fantastic. Would we recommend this restaurant? ABSOLUTELY! We will come back, no doubt about it.
