In 1958 the first Village Inn Pancake House opened its doors in Denver, Colorado and began offering what has since made us famous— made-from-scratch buttermilk pancakes, fresh eggs cooked any style, sizzling bacon and a pot of steaming hot coffee.
More than once, vacationers in Denver stopped at Village Inn for a bite to eat and enjoyed it so much that they inquired about franchise opportunities before leaving. Such requests inspired co-founders Merton “Andy” Anderson and Jim Mola to place an ad in The Wall Street Journal for prospective franchisees. Soon after, the first Village Inn franchise started operating in 1961, leading the way for successful franchise development.
Our reputation for serving quality all-day breakfast endures and carries over to our lunch, dinner and our award-winning pies. Village Inn serves The Best Pie In America® – like French Silk, Lemon Supreme, Country Apple and Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme. We are proud of our tradition—and happy to be part of our guests’ daily lives.
With six decades of success, we have corporate and franchise restaurants totaling more than 200, located primarily in the Rocky Mountain region, the Midwest, Arizona and Florida.
Our guests visit Village Inn because they know they will enjoy great-tasting food and extra-friendly service in a clean and comfortable family environment. Many of our guests who visited our restaurants in their youth now take their children and grandchildren to Village Inn— when they’re hungry for life’s simple pleasures.
As a mom of a 5 year old with the requisite picky pallet, I'm always on the lookout for a family restaurant with a good kids' menu. Village Inn didn't disappoint. My little one likes this place and so does her mommy. It's the new Denny's for my family. Kids eat free on certain days and then there's the pie selection, which is also free once a week. Orange is the decor color of choice and the walls are adorned with framed quotes (some are quite funny).
Bonnie delivered a personal, warm and friendly breakfast experience; like family. She was concerned about my food allergy and checked with the chef to make sure that the food prepared with that it mind. The customized my order. It was wonderful and a great way to start the day.
Fast service and the food was delicious, not too expensive either. Definitely recommend.
The experience was okay, The food was also okay. Dining inn is usually much better, but not this time. The only item that was warm was the syrup for the pancakes. I never got my sausage. The waitress kept telling me she was going to check on my sausage, but eventually getting my sausage didn't matter because I was finished. Upon leaving the restaurant, I found out that they were short of help in the kitchen. Perhaps next time the experience will be better. To my understanding, more and more restaurants are running short on help these days.
