Towers is great. Can't beat their mixed grill. Even from a microwave.

Carvery at the Malt Shovel is pretty good. But I reason it's a Baggies pub.

I believe a popular haunt for Villa old'uns is Bar 82 in Sutton, which as you can guess is named for a certain evening in Rotterdam. I used to work with a woman whose husband owned the place, and its sole purpose was to provide somewhere the chap could socialise with his heroes. She was less than complementary about pretty much all of them and also claimed many of them had sold her husband a lot of their memorabilia from said night in Rotterdam.
This is now called Oscars.Restaurant 82 has now gone.I had lunch there and it was miles better than Restaurant 82.
