  I will preface this review by admitting that I might be biased. I came here after running a 5K race on an empty stomach in the morning, so I would have eaten anything! And I nearly finished my plate of their special salmon eggs benedict, which came with a side of greasy hash browns. The filling, delicious food made it completely worth it to undo all my hard work in training for this 5K.
  
  In addition to the food, the setting also reminded me of your classic American diner.
  
  I will make sure to go back on a regular day so as to not be influenced by my post-running stomach! As well as keeping this place bookmarked to celebrate future post-5K races.

  I've lived half a mile from this place for the last 3 years and finally decided it was time to check it out. Glad I did this was a great little diner that serves great food. They had a special that was peach French toast and it was amazing, I normally don't eat French toast but all these restaurants have been making amazing combos it has now become my go to. Service was excellent, always had full glasses and really friendly, prices are not to bad also. I wish they were open later its so hard to get in here during the week with work, but well worth it to check out.

  Great local breakfast place. I've been eating here for as long as I can remember. It's gotten a bit pricey but the food is yummy and the wait staff is nice!
  
  Most recently I got the strawberry waffle which was perfectly cooked and covered in strawberries and whipped cream. I think their waffles are even good enough for Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec!
  
  My favorite part of Village Kitchen is all the local touches. There's a mural of West Park on one of the walls, artwork of local buildings and parks in town, and local sports memorabilia. The artwork never gets old, no matter how many times I've admired it.

  Come here if you are looking for a local scene and outstanding service. Just outside of campus, this diner caters to the locals of Ann Arbor. Wonderful specials and a breakfast all day kind of vibe. Oh, and great for kids... which is a good thing because my youngest was exceptionally terrible on this day. ‍. Our server immediately picked up on our angst and brought out a coloring book, crayons, and the kids meals as soon as they were up. Some days it truly takes a village.
  
  Food is your classic diner special... quick and cheap... geared towards breakfast. Lots of specials on the board and most of the food is locally sourced for a fair price. No complaints with my Greek omelet, and would order again. Pancakes were nice and fluffy and a fan favorite amongst the youngins. My wife didn't love her French toast, speculated that the strawberry sauce was just canned but had a lineup of items she wanted to order. Nice knowing there is a good place this side of town, and will stop in if ever in the area again.

  Among the best restaurants in Ann Arbor. You can't find a better batter of fish & chips!  They don't skimp on fresh ingredients and the staff (Janice) is the friendliest and most accommodating waitress we have ever had.
  
  The menu selection and prices are very good, if only they were open for dinner on occasion would be great, but if your seeking the best breakfast and lunch around, look no further, we highly recommend Village Kitchen!
