The Village Haven

I had been craving family style chicken for the past few weeks and finally pulled the trigger and went to Village Haven tonight. Everything was excellent! I hadn’t been to the restaurant since their remodel and it looks great in there. Very homey and the bar area is very nice. A little dim but nothing too egregious. We had a table of five and were sat immediately. Our waitress was very cheery, attentive, and more than accommodating. I was very impressed. As for the food it was quite honestly pretty incredible. The family style chicken (which all 5 ordered) comes with rolls, cinnamon rolls, salad, chicken, fries, pasta, and potatoes all for $19! That’s a ton of food and an insane deal. The food itself was top notch. Rolls were nice and crusty, cinnamon rolls tasted out of this world, sa

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a local Realtor, I’m always looking for great spots to introduce clients to the area, and The Village Haven is a perfect example of why people love living here. The short ribs were incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the stuffed filet of sole was outstanding. Great atmosphere, welcoming service, and exactly the kind of place I’d bring a client to help them get a feel for the community they may soon call home.

Nowadays, it’s difficult to find a restaurant that checks all the boxes…this place was it! We visited on a Saturday and parking was available. We were seated immediately upon entry (4 people). Our waiter Rodrigo was very attentive, took our order promptly, made sure we had everything we needed, including the soft and flavorful cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls to keep the kids satisfied. Rodrigo made great suggestions including the seafood plate in the photo (DELICIOUS!!) and the alcoholic drinks. It’s too bad we only happened to stop by after a visit to the zoo and live 40 miles away. This will definitely be my go-to restaurant anytime I’m in the area.

The family style chicken experience wasn't what I expected. Blasted through the potatoes & the fries like a kid in a candy store. Was never brought anymore. The Chicken was super super super oily, barely touched it. Wait service was painfully mediocre. Other than being extremely impressed by the waiters ability to rattle off the specials. He was not attentive.

Overall, it was a fine establishment. While visiting family, they brought me here as an alternative to Wrights Chicken Farm, which I agree this place is better. The server was very nice and friendly and cut up with my cousin, since he's a regular and she recognized him. Family style dining. For a large group, this place is great. For a date, I wouldn't recommend it. Very open, long tables, little loud. Food was a little particular. First, you got a basket of dinner rolls, normal, then mixed with cinnamon rolls. Didn't get the 2 together and the CR where a touch style, the other rolls were fine. You then get a basic salad, roasted chicken, tasty, and they ask if you want dark or white. Roasted potatoes, French fries, ziti with sauce, and cranberry sauce. Almost seems a little ra
