Brought my beautiful Husband out for dinner this evening. He loves Italian food so we were on the hunt for a good authentic Italian Spot! The Village Pub did not disappoint! It was delicious! I got the Lasagna and he got this juicy NY steak parm sandwich! It was so filling. Everyone was so friendly and seemed to love being a part of this experience for us! I would definitely recommend 10/10.

Stopped at the Village Pub for a late lunch with my cousin. We had the bruschetta for an appetizer. It was oh so good, flavorful and the toast stayed crunchy even tho it was piled with tomatoes. It had black olives which I hadn't seen on bruschetta before but I loved it. Our entrées came with soup or salad, we opted for the salad. It was so fresh, and the lettuce was crispy and the house vinaigrette had the perfect amount of tang. I had the eggplant Parmigiano with angel har pasta. The eggplant was thinly sliced and perfectly cooked. I was served a huge portion that I could only eat half. my cousin had the 8 finger cavatelli with vodka sauce. The pasta is fresh and homemade and the sauce was delicious. Our waitress was so pleasant and attentive. All in all, we loved it here and can't wait to come back.

Was there last night. I started with the Stracciatella soup and had the shrimp, broccoli and linguine in garlic and oil for my main. It was all phenomenal!! My husband had the shrimp risotto with asparagus - it was also amazing. Our son had a patty melt...cooked perfectly. Thanks for a great meal from one of our favorite places. Dietary restrictions: they offer something for everyone

Decided to try Village Pub since it kept coming up on my social media, and we were not disappointed. The service was great and the food was phenomenal!! Will definitely be back. Ordered the sausage and peppers in white sauce, pasta faigioli, lasagna and chicken vesuvio.

This visit was a whole new level and we're planning a new tradition to match. Years ago I was introduced to the Village Pub by friends who live in the area, and are lifelong customers. The restaurant, bar, and catering at parties is always great. Seriously, their consistency is supernatural. Same with service...service professionals who take your enjoyment very seriously. The new tradition is side dishes. We're going to order soup (we were told the soup guy is new) and tons of sides because there are just too many to try. All amazing. Even the velvety coleslaw. Nothing is an afterthought. Atmosphere is great, just gets too loud to talk at busy times, and we like to talk! Parking: Big lot. Kid-friendliness: It's a mature atmosphere. That said I would not hesitate to bring a child of any age. That's me.

I was there for an office party - loved the food, the waitstaff was pleasantly unobtrusive and completely efficient- but we were WAY too noisy for my taste - which doesn't mean that the Village Pub should be blamed in any way. It was a bit crowded for a Thursday night- or maybe it's always that way.

Food-YESSSS Service-YESSSS Atmosphere-YESSS Great place to have a bite & even better to have drinks with friends and a bite ! Very courteous from the moment you enter the door. Very clean and atmosphere is cozy & fun. Beautiful bar area and they do have some drink specials. Video gaming is available if you like & there's a dining area if you have a group & would rather have a table. Great variety menu and all is tasty. We ordered different dishes to share so we could taste test lol. Prices are very reasonable especially when you consider portions. Highly recommend the Caprese salad & pasta with Arrabiata sauce. The garbage salad comes packed with plenty of goodies & you can choose from a variety of dressings. There's an appetizer menu if you're not in the mood for a full meal. Outdoor seating is available ( if the weather plays along lol) This is a definite stop and relax kind of place with amazing food & hospitality to match!

It had been at least 15 years since I had last been to Village Pub. Someone mentioned they had been revamped(maybe a new owner??), so on a whim, we stopped for dinner and I'm so glad we did!! We had the fried calamari for an appetizer. It was fresh, crispy and delicious. My fiance had the minestrone soup which was good. For our entrees we went havesies and got the NY strip steak sandwich and the pub burger. Both were delicious, cooked perfectly to order!! Both came with a generous portion of fries and a deli style pickle, yum!! Because dinner was so good, we ordered the tirimsu and mini cannoli for dessert which we took to go. Again, both were delicious!! I believe it was the owner, stopped by a few times to check on us, which I absolutely appreciate!! Loved this experience and will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!!

Great food. Great service. Every dish is unique and delicious making you want to come back again and try another! The party room is a nice and private area to host a small-medium sized event. The bar has a ton of drink options and beers on tap. I always look forward to eating here!

I honestly cannot say more about the owner, George the bartendar The waitress, Chris, or any waitress the boss boys you just feel like you’re at home and being treated like part of their family. If you haven’t tried this place, you have to go and bring your family. I brought my sister and my niece today they were blown away honestly if you haven’t tried this, the prices are so much lower then any other place I’ve gone, and the food is better than any other place I have gone! Diamond in the for sure! If you don’t love it, I’ll give your money back. Lol.

Heard so many great things about the food, and we were not disappointed. I had the best patty melt I've ever eaten. My daughter had amazing linguini with mussels. My husband had the Italian salad. We all had the delicious calamari appetizer. Service was outstanding. We will be back!

We got the corn beef and cabbage hot meal and a corn beef sandwich. This was the best corn beef I’ve ever had bar none including the New York Delis. I have enjoyed most of the menu and without a doubt it is phenomenal. It is our go to place for outstanding food and atmosphere.💗

Our waitress Christine was the highlight of our dinner experience on the patio. She also was our server for our baby shower this past winter. She is THE BEST followed by the wonderful food! The soup was fantastic, the salad dressings are homemade and so good, the cavatelli was delicious and the steak sandwich was the best I’ve had. Highly recommend visiting The Village Pub. It’s under new management and the restaurant and food has been given a much needed wonderful facelift!

My mother hosted a baby shower here and it was a fantastic choice. The owner was extremely reasonable about the accommodations we needed. They were able to serve a large number of guests and the service was impeccable. The bar area was great for the men of the group to break away from the baby shower festivities. Overall, we couldn't have had a better experience at Tipsters Village.

My wife had a great salad and a main course of eggplant 🍆 covered with parmazon cheese and took 3/4 home, while I had 2 pork chops with perfectly cooked potatoes and many great peas, but, I could only finish 1/2 so I will have another full dinner. The restaurant recently opened for dinner which everyone took fully, I estimated, as much as they ate. There was a small patio where a family graduation 🎓 party had a good time. Call to ask if that is always available.

Staff is very friendly. Sometimes a little too busy or forgets to come back with items requested, but that did not bother me too bad. THEIR VODKA SAUCE! Absolutely love. I got the Cavatelli with Vodka Sauce and was very happy with how it tasted. Great food and nice restaurant. Highly recommend eating here!!

Very authentic, old-school atmosphere and Italian flavors. A friend of mine said the taste there is like his mom and grandma used to make when he was growing up in an all-Italian family. I had angel hair and marinara with meatballs, and it was delicious. I also had a salad with Ranch dressing, and it was definitely homemade with buttermilk.

The Village Pub is everything to everybody. feel like taking your grandma out to lunch-Do the Pub. Want to grab 2 to 13 drinks with pals- Do the Pub. Dinner with the wife and kids_- Do the Pub. It has been around for an age, and for good reason, they know what they are doing. It is a great spot. Call on Brian the bartender but dont bash his beloved Eagles.

Probably one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. My go to meal when I'm out to eat is chicken tenders and fries. And to be honest I never get an amazing tender. This is what I was expecting when I walked through the front door of tipsters. Boy was I wrong. I had a chicken tender meal that was out of this world amazing. If you are ever in the area Tipsters is a must if you are hungry.

I can’t thank the staff for accommodating 29 people on a last minute reservation. The food was amazing and the staffs was helpful and friendly. I had never been here until today and I can honestly say one of the best meals out in a long time. Thank you again for accommodating my family we truly appreciate it and will return soon.

I was there for a private party this past Sunday, 5/6/18. The weather was perfect to be outside having brunch in the patio area. The food was delicious, Italian sausages, baked potatoes and mastacholi.The waitresses were pleasant and on point take sure if we needed anything.

A hidden old school Italian restaurant that the locals patronize and the exterior tries to keep under wraps. Welcomed by red brick walls and adorned with a chalkboard menu displaying a scribbled array of dishes du jour, every guest knows they have entered a special place.
