Village Wayside Bar & Grille

Nice place, love the old tavern aesthetic! Food was great and the service was excellent. Very cheap for the amount of food we got. Definitely more of a bar then a restaurant though so do be prepared for that.

Great mix of locals, visitors, and service industry workers getting off shift. Great food and casual, fun atmosphere. Pro tip: great deserts!

ATMOSPHERE: I get a very cool vibe from this place it used to be an old train station. It's very cool looking on the inside. They have a nice little outside area too where you can sit by the tracks.

ALCOHOL: good drink specials like 5$ bloody Mary and mimosas...some beers on tap. They do have Biltmore wine here which is a nice touch.

FOOD: I like the food here, pretty dang good, I mostly drink here.

KIDS?: yeah, I'd bring my 9 month old here if there well behaved.

All in all, cool lunch and dinner place that is worth the visit.

Definitely had high expectations of this place. It’s really cute - agree with other posters, it has the dive bar feel. The menu is varied and interesting. We started with the “Pork Wings”, which were pretty good. The sauces were good, the meat was cooked well, but not too well. The drink of the day was missing lime the first go around. I ordered Steak Frites and my daughter ordered the BLT with sweet potato tots. My meat was cooked perfectly, but had no flavor and the texture was not there either. The fries were not crisp, as has been mentioned in other posts. My daughter’s sandwich was good. The tots had great flavor but needed to be in the fryer just a little longer. The service was great, also as mentioned previously. Everything else just missed the mark! We went across the street for dessert and had a much better experience in terms of food.

So awesome! The service was great, the atmosphere was fun and more importantly the food was really tasty. Super crispy fries and very flavorful burger. Loved the steak tips and humus. Great lighter portion and very delicious.
