Village Grill

Nestled on South Church Street in Burlington, North Carolina, Village Grill offers an elevated‑casual dining experience that has become a beloved staple of Alamance County for nearly four decades. Founded in 1985 as The Village Café by Randy Cox and Wayne Bunting, the family‑run restaurant moved to its newly renovated building in 2022, preserving the light, airy “Village” atmosphere while adding modern touches. Guests are greeted by a warm interior featuring soft lighting, comfortable booths, and a kids’ coloring station that makes it ideal for families. The menu showcases New American comfort food with a coastal twist: the iconic Key West Chicken, grilled chicken pasta, Cajun chicken pasta, a juicy ribeye topped with pimento, succulent fried oysters, a tangy crab dip, and the daily Mediterranean Sea Bass special. Breakfast‑style rolls, house‑made salads such as the Key West Grilled Chicken Salad, and a perfectly brewed sweet tea round out the offerings. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., the Grill welcomes parties of up to 14 without reservations, providing quick service and generous portions. Recognized as Alamance County Chamber of Commerce’s 2025 Small Business of the Year, Village Grill continues to serve the community with fresh ingredients, homemade dressings, and a friendly staff led by Randy and his daughter Katherine. The restaurant also offers online ordering, a full bar with craft beers and classic cocktails, and gift cards for birthdays, anniversaries, or employee rewards. The shaded patio under mature oaks provides a pleasant spot for al fresco dining during warm evenings. With a 4‑star rating from over 1,700 reviewers, Village Grill’s commitment to quality and community shines through every plate.
