Ryan in the Community
April 5, 2019
For 26 years, the Village Tavern & Grill has built their business on the bedrock of quality local food and service. Their menu is decorated with awards including for their world famous chicken fingers, BBQ ribs, special sauces and more. But what really sets owners RC and JR Hutson apart is the way they lead by example in our community. While expanding their family friendly restaurant and celebrating a second anniversary for their South Elgin location, they are also local and international charity fundraisers. RC and JR have raised a family that travels all over the world to places such as Nicaragua, Haiti, Greece and other destinations to help deliver aid and service to disaster stricken countries. They are role models of our community who have perfected the family dining experience. Give VTG a shot this week with your family and you'll be telling your neighbors about it tomorrow.
