Extremely disappointed $32 for slab of ribs 6 ribs??? Really????
This restaurant was never open tonight 9/7/24 and looks like it has been closed down for a while. I was there at 5pm and there wasn't a single car and all of the power was off.

I took a friend there for a birthday for something different. Like another reviewer I was not sure about the pricing. But that's all in the past. The food was amassing. Could not remember having such fantastic BBQ RIBS. I was not sure if order would be enough for the 2 of us but the portions were great and we both took home leftovers. Went back again with friends for breakfast. Food was still amazing. Heading back soon with some other people to enjoy the great food and wonderful staff. If you haven't been go. It has kind of diner atmosphere but go for the food.

We came shortly before closing and had the restaurant to ourselves. The food was very good. Prices seemed a bit high, but then we got our food and the portions are definitely worth the price.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking in the back, easy to navigate into restaurant and seating was available at a table.

Emil Villa is a casual, comfortable atmosphere. I love their breakfasts and their BBQ ribs are delicious! I always get a nice, pleasant server. Sometimes it's a wait to be seated because they may be short -staffed, but the wait is not that long. The food is good and the portions and prices are good too.
Parking: There is an average amount of parking spaces but the main streets have lots of parking too.
Kid-friendliness: I see a lot of families with children dining inside. I believe they have a kids menu. It should be on the menu on the website.

This place is really nice for breakfast!! The prices are super affordable and the food is good and they are big portions that actually fill you up. Service was great too except for the girl that forgot to bring us the fruit cup but that’s okay, I understand everybody makes mistakes ? overall is a good place to have breakfast at!

As I drove by the old school sign, I can still hear their 90s radio commercials in my head... "Emil Villa's Hickory Pit, Yay!" The good ol' fashioned BBQ ribs did not disappoint.
