Love this place, but it has a dirty feel. Food has always been good, and even with one waitress some times they are always nice.
It's a great place to get breakfast without the craziness of these breakfast staions and other places. Better food I even think.

My family and I eat here frequently. The service is always very friendly and polite. The food is yummy too with lots of choices for breakfast, lunch, or dinner all throughout the day. This Village Inn in Land O Lakes has that feel of Southern Hospitality the way Florida used to be. We’ve celebrated Holidays there and Birthdays and the staff is very accommodating. This Mother’s Day past, we just enjoyed a brunch after church with our mom and some other family members. Fabi greeted each of us as we walked through the door with a beautiful carnation flower, wishing us all a Happy Mother’s Day. Darby was our server, and she was very sweet and attentive to all of our needs. I highly recommend this Village Inn for an overall nice Family Friendly restaurant experience. Good job Land O Lakes staff! We appreciate you!

I’m writing this review for two reasons neither of which are the food, it was fine, or our server. Fabi, as always, was very good. The first reason was the rest of the staff on this evening. We were seated near the bathrooms with a direct view into the kitchen. Except for Fabi, the staff was goofing off in the kitchen, yelling at each other, cursing, and throwing ice at each other. Several pieces of ice left the kitchen and ended up in the dining room. One piece of ice came to rest about three feet from my seat. The young man who was running the register kept leaving the front to engage the backend staff in the kitchen leaving the front unattended and customers waiting to be seated and/or pay their tab. None of this behavior is acceptable.
The second reason I am reviewing this visit is the 18% “Service Fee” you have made the business decision to impose on you customers. This fee should be posted on your door and/or printed boldly on the menu for the customers to be aware of before they order. Imposing an undisclosed fee only to be seen if you read the small print is a car dealership tactic. Using the term “Fee” eliminates the need for a gratuity, but it also eliminates the customer’s forum for appreciating good service or expressing their displeasure for poor service. This practice is your choice to impose a fee on a customer base that is looking for a good meal at a fare price. It is my choice to frequent a different restaurant.

This is easily the worst and most off village inn I have ever dined at. Not only was my server incredibly rude, they don’t acknowledge about the 18% service fee. At all. I’m always one to tip highly but would have liked to have been at minimum informed of the “service fee”.
Horrible atmosphere and rude employees.
