What People Are Saying About Westville

Featured Review

Allison Austin

Contributor

West Villagers embrace this big-city version of a small-town cafe for casual meals eaten in-house or taken out. Though you might find yourself cursing the placement of the bathroom behind the kitchen, the friendly staff and a comprehensive menu of reasonably priced fare more than make up for the challenge of dodging cooks on the way to the john. Simple salads, burgers and hot dogs are solid choices for lunch or dinner, as are slightly more sophisticated specials like trout. The bevy of neighborhood regulars prove that the low-key affair of dining here is worth the wait, even on weekends, when…

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
It's easily one of the best bargain brunches in the West Village. French toast is just $5, baked eggs and turkey hash is $6, and all the hot dogs, burgers and salads are available, too.
The Extras:
The neighborhood's shady streets are perfect for an after-dinner stroll. And be sure to stop by Magnolia Bakery, another small-townish spot in the West Village, for a cute cupcake.
Save Money:
Try a platter of four market vegetable sides from a selection of roughly 20 for only $15.
The Extras:
Unlike typical restaurants on the cheaper end, this one takes credit cards.
Know Before You Go:
If you're not a West Villager, try its sister on the other side of town, Westville East.

This Little Piggy Went to the Market!!

by LivRyan at Citysearch

You must get the market plate! Over 20 vegetarian small plate options that rivals any vegetarian restaurant. I used to just go here for brunch, but now I will only get the market plate. I love the bok choy, brussel sprouts, collard greens, cauliflower, sweet potato fries. The list goes on and on. Small price to pay for some of the best veggie options around. Grab a friend and get eating!

Westville in the East Vill

by prlgirl , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

Why o why can't these places be on the Upper East Side! I love this place. Went for a drink on Ave A recently and saw the crowd gathered outside the Westville so had to see what all the buzz was about. We waited for about 15 minutes and then were seated in the cozy restaurant. We ordered shakes, hot dogs and hamburgers. Comfort food at its best. The hot dogs and fries were well done as requested and delicious. It also came with a market side, we selected beets and goat cheese. Oddly, the beets were heated up to the point of steaming once they arrived which made for a weird texture. But then our burger arrived and all was forgiven. It was deliciousness on an english muffin. We were too full for dessert despite how great it all looked! Definitely going back for seconds.Great!

  • Pros: shakes, comfort food

What happened to the fries?!?!

by nev81 at Citysearch

I have been a loyal patron of Westville for years because of their amazing turkey burger --all white meat, and served on a portuguese muffin. I have the hardest time finding a place that has an awesome burger and fries...and it seems I've lost the one restaurant that had both. I don't want to be dramatic, but I'm Irish, and there are few potatoes that I will snub. These new coated fries have lost big points with me and my circle of friends. Please bring the old fries back! We loved them!

  • Pros: Turkey Burger
  • Cons: Fries

My Go-To

by Hannahrsteadman at Citysearch

I get Westville anytime I want to eat out but don't want to do an expensive shi-shi dinner. It is super cheap and DELICIOUS. Brunch, lunch or dinner, they are all good. I actually regret wanting to add to the hype because its already over crowded for being such a cute tiny hole in the wall, but I usually just order in anyway. You can't go wrong with any of the burgers or mac 'n cheese. They also have some "nicer" dishes like the salmon or swordfish that are amazing. The veggies are delicious too! Good luck deciding what to get, thats the worst part of eating there.

  • Pros: Delicious, Amazing music if you dine-in
  • Cons: trying to decide what to order is tough, it all looks great
