What People Are Saying About Westville East

The Editor

In Short – The beloved comfort food hub brings its diner grub to the cheap eats-loving East Village. The cast-iron turkey burger (as well as its all-beef cousin) is the main draw at this bright, no-frills space where Americana art flecks clean, white walls. The health-conscious swear by the menu's "vegetable market" which offers plates of in-season vegetables and salads, while everyone is tempted by the thick shakes--giant homemade versions of Oreo cookies and gooey chocolate cakes. –

Wonderful Experience

by AllSass

I am extremely picky and asked for about 100 things to be changed on my order. They got it all right and did so with smiles on their faces. The food was fantastic. All of it. Don't forget to order dessert. I wouldn't think twice about going back to this place. Besides that it is a bit more expensive than what works on a student's budget, Westville was an amazing lunch experience.

  • Pros: delicious food, great desserts, nice servers
  • Cons: kinda expensive

Could be a great place, but no one seems to give a sh it.

by GarlicandShots

Nice place, quick seating (saturday night 9:30), friendly staff.

But: definition of "seared tuna" here means "cooked in a skillet", without regard for your stated preference for degree of doneness. Note that the wait staff taking the order did ask how we would like it done, and did hear "rare: red in the middle", but on delivery the server insisted this well-done (cooked-thru) tuna was "seared". On asking the waitress for their definition of "seared", she indicated that it means it's sauteed in a pan. Not sure if anyone passed this incident on along to the chef.

Another oddity: berry cobbler includes strawberries and peaches, not blueberries as presented.

Could be a great place, but no one seems to give a sh it.

  • Pros: great green beans
  • Cons: overcooked tuna, watery roasted beets

Great place, poor service

by jteczynska

I love this place! We come to Westvile all the time. While their food is always amazing, service is below average. If not for the food I would never go back. Portions are alway huge and delicious, especially their Crab Burger (which I think should be permanently on the menu, not only as a special). Service on the other hand is worst than service you get at McDonald's. On several occasions our server would just drop the chcek after we finished our meal without asking if we wanted a dessert (we did want the dessert). If you don't care about high maintenance service but care about good food this is the place!!!!

  • Pros: food, price
  • Cons: service
