Village Cafe - Arroyo Grande

Whenever I drive from LA to SF, I plan my departure time so I can be here for breakfast. It's almost three hours in my car, but it's worth it. Great service and great food. Last time I tried the house made Corned beef hashash, this is my new favorite! (I hardly have money with me, but they have a 4% cash discount)

I have to honestly say this restaurant had the best breakfast I've had in a long time. I had the blte, with the eggs on the side, it also came with a side of fruit. One of my friends had the oatmeal and the other one had the french toast with eggs and bacon. The bacon on my sandwich was cooked perfectly crispy. No raw floppy ends, and my 2 eggs over medium was also cooked perfectly. No brown edges over cooked eggs. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town visiting.

First and last time for the Village Cafe. My husband loves corned beef and orders it most times we eat out for breakfast. The corned beef served here looked like something from a dog food can. My husband said he thought it had been watered down or had something else added because there was very little corned beef flavor. I tasted it and agreed, maybe the cook dumped in the potato water or something else to stretch the meat, there wasn't much in the way of potatoes in it. It certainly did not taste like brisket. I asked the waitress what the corned beef was made of and she said they cooked the brisket themselves. Does this look like brisket? I said it didn't look like brisket and she said that the cook grinds it up and maybe she should tell customers that before they order. I doubt that we were the first to complain. My husband ate the eggs and some potatoes but very little of the corned beef. The waitress said the owner does not allow adjustments on the check. The picture is what he left uneaten. Disgusting.

Just had breakfast at the Village Cafe.The food was GREAT, hard working staff and reasonably priced!! Our cousin ordered the hamsteak and eggs and was AMAZED at what she received!!!

Very upbeat server, Windows, tables, seats were all very clean. Great prices for delicious food. Great value. Kids menu was decent, also if breakfast burritos are your thing, cowboy breakfast burrito is a MUST. Central location is perfect to stop by when strolling through the AG village. Also quick service and very respectful and high vibe service!
