We love coming here. Excellent “home” feel to the place. It’s like a mix between your grandmas place and Cracker Barrel. Has a full bar for drinks also. The French onion soup is the best you’ll have. The honey pecan chicken was phenomenal, the pork chop was perfectly cooked, and the cheesecake and pie were out of this world. We picked them up for a family party and everyone had rave reviews on them. If you need a good honestly meal you have to come here and try it out. Keep it up

The menu was a little confusing but recommended by a friend. Very cute place. Loved the chicken!

Food is delicious! Family owned and operated with integrity. Interior is clean and charming. Do not pass it by !

I had heard about this place & their great pies. So my sister and I took a ride to check it out. Not disappointed at all! We really enjoyed our meal, the service & atmosphere. Everyone knew each other & were talking between tables. A wonderful, throw back to when people lingered & enjoyed life. Great, warm small town vibe . The baked French onion soup was delicious! Not salty, great flavor with great croutons. Fresh - not canned green beans. Homemade mashed potatoes with excellent white gravy. Great breading on the Georgettes & pork tenderloin. We ordered French Silk pie for dessert but it was sold out - as we were there late. We had the Cream puff instead. Sooooo delicious - all made in house. So fantastic, that we forgot about the pie! Sure with I had bought on to take home! We will definitely make the long drive & go back! Very enjoyable dinner with a great server & delicious food!

Just happened to stop by after leaving sandwich fair. What a gem. Homemade mashed potatoes (rare to find homemade these days). I called it grown up chicken nuggets. Very good. Not dry. I tried both sauces. Both good. Tomato basil soup with garlic croutons was 10/10. If I lived in the area I would go everyday for the soup alone. Other option was French onion. The list of homemade desserts was looong. Carrot cake. Ice cream. Brownies. Pies. A list of cheesecakes. I tried the homemade cream puff. Perfect. And took a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake to go. No regrets.

I love Village Court Yard sooo much they have such good food drinks and sauce their vibes are also amazing!!

The food was absolutely delicious! I got the 6 ounce filet medium and it was cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the French onion soup, tons of flavor and love in our meal. Our server was friendly and fast, she got us our food in a timely manner and made sure we never ran out of drinks. We even had our 7 year old daughter with us and she loved the atmosphere and decor! Lots of chickens lol and a very comfy hometown vibe. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!

This was only my second time going here even though I only live 4 blocks away. The food, service and atmosphere are wonderful. The only things I can think of to improve is they were short on staff and we were there quite awhile. Also the menu doesn't describe the food, we had to ask what everything was. I guess if you are a regular you might know what chicken George, chicken Jane or smothered chicken is but we did not. The variety of desserts was amazing!
