“good food great service waitress very helpful.“

“Old fashion diner. Great american food.
Update 10-05-24 I came back after some time absence from dining here. I was surprised on how food quality has degraded overtime. I’ve ordered biscuits and gravy and the taste was somewhat rancid. Also the coffee was watery and insipid. Will give a a second try sometime in the near future.“

“My husband and I have been to Paul's in the past but we recently took our 1 year old for breakfast on his 1st birthday and the staff were SO kind! Our waitress surprised us with icecream (his first sweet treat!) and sang him happy birthday. It made his special day feel even more special. The food was great per usual but the environment is the best“

“The restaurant was awesome!! My family and I were in town for a funeral and were recommended by our Aunt to eat here and we absolutely loved it! The food was phenomenal!! We are from South Dakota and wish we had a colonial Cafe where we live!! Dave Le was amazing and definitely was patient and knew his stuff!! Well done young man!! Great food fantastic service! Definitely will come back if we ever get back to St Charles again!!“

“I have been working at village inn for about 8 months! The family and staff are one of the sweetest genuine people you will ever meet. My nonna was battling cancer for a year and recently passed. The family gave me support and just comfort in general. I don’t only go to village to work, I go there to work and feel like family. Food is awesome, and you will find the hardest working staff. Couldn’t have asked for more supportive bosses and employees. - The restaurant also sent flowers to my Nonnas memorial!“

“Updated review: Best halwa puri in Chicagoland! You get 3 extra extra large puris and a plate of deliciousness - halwa, cholay, potatoes, and achar. We had a large group and although the restaurant was very busy, the service was on top of it and made sure the food came out timely, fresh and hot! Everyone in our party commented on the food and we all left very full and satisfied. Thank you 5*

Ordered to go: karahi gosht, Karachi chicken biryani special for the day, and the bbq platter (which takes about half hr to prepare) - all dishes were so good! It is a bit on the spicier side but family enjoyed the food.“
