  1. [R7] Village Inn Rewards 1/5 · US Terrible app: I have the app but can’t get into it. Every time I put my phone # in to see rewards it tells me that # is already being used!
  2. [R13] Village Inn Rewards 1/5 · US Shady discount advertising: They advertise five dollars off when you download the app, and on the webpage when viewed in mobile, you don’t read any caution that says that you must download the app before you create the account. So if you log into an account with the app, the phone will remember that you ever had an account on that app. So I try to make a new account because they’re fine. Print was
  3. [R14] Village Inn Rewards 5/5 · US Rewards: Love the rewards Making a great place greater!! ✊🇺🇸👍😊
  4. [R17] Village Inn Rewards 5/5 · US Wonderful Service!: Sherlain was my waitress this morning. My coffee was hot, my lemonade was cold, and my food came out quick. She always asked if I was okay and if I needed anything. When I was done, she helped me set up my account for rewards. I’m in here a lot of breakfast, so I’m looking forward to it!
  5. [R2] Village Inn Rewards 5/5 · US Good & service: Our food was excellent and Alicia was an excellent server!
  6. [R3] Village Inn Rewards 3/5 · US Breakfast under new owners: For the most part front staff is wonderful as always. Back of the house however had the quality of food going downhill over the past couple years. Still probably one of the best places to have breakfast in Pueblo. VI quality just seems to be going downhill since Covid.
  7. [R9] Village Inn Rewards 3/5 · US Home fries: Your hash browns were burnt and tasted like they were fried in old oil. I couldn’t eat them. The waitress never asked how I liked my food either or I would have told her. Perhaps it’s just me since I don’t eat that kind of food very much. Perhaps the oil you use is full of toxic ingredients and my tummy can’t handle it? Maybe it’s me. Probably not.
  8. [R10] Village Inn Rewards 1/5 · US Raw breakfast sausages: Not their usual great service, breakfast sausages raw and waited 35 minutes to get our food after ordering. Brought it to the server’s attention and cashier. Manager super busy.
  9. [R4] Village Inn Rewards 1/5 · US Order wrong: Forgot whip cream on pie. Ask for whip cream got none and slice pie was EXPENSIVE .Paid $5. No napkins or forks. Bad idea to order FOR pickup!!!!!
  10. [R8] Village Inn Rewards 5/5 · US Excellent customer service: We love coming to Village Inn , Mary & Christine give us great service. they are very friendly , we look forward to coming for breakfast at least once a week🥰
  11. [R32] Village Inn Rewards 1/5 · US BYOB offer: At check out after scanning the QR code the host couldn’t get the register to except the offer the VI app did say it was for select entrees but no where on the offer it referred to what entrees were excepted. # rip off
  12. [R15] Village Inn Rewards 3/5 · US Medium: Restaurant was freezing! Even with coats on! Short on staff! Food was slow in coming out but good.
  13. [R37] Village Inn Rewards 5/5 · US So good: Food is great and the interior is so welcoming now. Great employees and good prices.
  14. [R55] Village Inn Rewards 4/5 · US Wednesday: The smell is sometimes a little too much.
  15. [R60] Village Inn Rewards 4/5 · US Welcome Back: It’s wonderful to see VI investing in the company with remodeled locations and new, positive, attentive, and friendly staff at all levels.
  16. [R22] Village Inn Rewards 1/5 · US App is awful: What good is the app when it doesn’t let you pick all the options for an order. ie, omelets doesn’t provide the option for country potatoes.
  17. [R24] Village Inn Rewards 1/5 · US Still no way to customize an order: Until this app has a way to customize orders, I’m forced to have to call in. Once that feature is added I will revise my vote but it’s basically unusable for me.
  18. [R65] Tommy Bahama Island Club 5/5 · US Wonderful place to dine!: This is one of our favorite restaurants in Newport! The service is always friendly and efficient and the food is top notch! If you come you have to try the one of a kind Pina colada cake it is just delicious!
  19. [R74] Tommy Bahama Island Club 5/5 · US Great food and service: The food was great. The wagyu ribeye was awesome - best steak I’ve had in awhile. And our server (Jenna) was terrific.
  20. [R87] Tommy Bahama Island Club 5/5 · US The shrimp are back!: We stopped ordering the shrimp two years ago, cause it was so disappointing! And all the people we brought here to eat were a little disappointed as the restaurant was supposed to be famous for them! We were in a hurry and just ordered some shrimp and a drink. We’re not expecting to finish the shrimp, but they were delicious again!
  21. [R93] Tommy Bahama Island Club 5/5 · US Fabulous!: Always great! The scallop sliders and crab cakes are always spot on, as is the service❤️
  22. [R16] Village Inn Rewards 1/5 · US Poor customer service: We were seated with no menus so after about 10 minutes of waiting I looked at the hostess from my seat and mouthed silently, can we get menus, and I also used my hands for further sign language open and shut my hands like a book. At that point the hostess very rudely (with a harassed look) yelled you just need to wait or be patient. I’ll be honest I was so thrown by her atti
  23. [R19] Village Inn Rewards 2/5 · US Poor service: The meals were just fine and I’m certain the pies will also be good. It was the very poor service that dropped the restaurant to 2 stars…. and it should be one star. The food came out appropriately, but no follow up . We literally waited what seems like over a half hour +. Nobody came out to check on us(apparently Jessica had taken a break). We finally got our pies to go and a few ap
  24. [R29] Village Inn Rewards 5/5 · US Hidden gem: Jessica is amazing, she brings a comforting friendly vibe. She makes me and my Hubbs feel important. Go visit Jessica!!!!
