We found this diner while searching for brunch spots during our stay in town for our Sequoia &…read moreKings Canyon National Park trip. They do not disappoint! It was busy during the lunch hour on a Sunday, so we got our name down on the clipboard waitlist. It was about a 20-30 min wait for a party of 6, with 6-7 smaller parties ahead of us. The food was good, and portions are very generous! I enjoyed the chicken fried steak over hash browns with eggs. Expect to take leftovers back if you're a small eater. Service was friendly and welcoming. What can improve: interior temp/AC - felt a bit hot/stuffy and couldn't tell if the AC was on inside, though it was better than the 100 degrees outside. Bathrooms aren't very clean. 4.5 but will round up!

If you love green chiles and huge omelets, you'll definitely want to try Mama K's. I ordered the…read moreMexicali omelet, and it was massive. They use four eggs in their omelets, and the price is extremely reasonable considering how much food you receive. The cheesy potatoes were also very pleasant and paired well with the omelet. When I visited around 10 a.m., the restaurant was absolutely packed with customers. The wait staff was friendly and doing their best to keep up, but at times it seemed like everyone was doing a little bit of everything. I think the restaurant could benefit from a little more organization during busy hours. There were a couple of things that could have been better. The guacamole tasted like it was a few days old, which was noticeable right away. What was interesting, though, was that the sliced avocado inside the omelet tasted fairly fresh, so I'm not sure why the guacamole wasn't the same. The fruit was delicious overall, although the cantaloupe was slightly underripe. It still had a firm bite and wasn't as sweet as I had hoped. Overall, Mama K's offers generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly service. Despite a few minor issues, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend giving it a try, especially if you're a fan of green chiles and hearty breakfasts

I have hesitated to leave a review here because one thing I hate is when businesses respond to my…read morereviews. I don't need your feedback... If I have an issue I need addressed, I'll come directly to you. I write reviews to amplify a business that's noteworthy or to try to add meaningful insight into what my experience was like at a restaurant if it's worth sharing. That said, I saw my picture from my meal here and remembered enjoying the meal enough to want to share that. I took the advice of many other reviews and got the mac and cheese burger thing, can't remember the name sorry. It came with tomato soup and fries? Or somehow that's what I ordered. Honestly I could do without the mac and cheese or would rather just have it on the side. It doesn't add to the burger at all, but wasn't bad by itself. The tomato soup was good and I liked having it as a dip for the sandwich. The fries were good and I would have liked a bit more of them, but I can't really complain as I was pretty satisfied in the end. The cashier seemed confused about something and I was confused by our interaction, but in the end I paid for and received food. The interior was not particularly welcoming and I waited longer for my food than I expected to given that I was the only person in there at the time. I'd order ahead next time for sure. It wasn't a bad experience. I think if things felt a little more organized I could give another star. Prices seem on the high end as well.

I've made better--and higher quality--grilled cheese sandwiches at home. The service left a lot to be desired. My friend didn't even receive the correct order, though he didn't make a fuss since our company was footing the bill. Overall, the experience was underwhelming. At best, the food was just okay.

I've been coming to Valhalla since I was a kid, back when they were located on Main Street. Now…read morethat I am an adult with my own family, we don't often dine out for breakfast, but when we do, Valhalla is my favorite spot. Lots of great places with great food, and friendly staff. But what makes Valhalla really stand out from the rest, is their in Äbelskivers (common spelling). They're basically little pancake balls, which you can get with a variety of jellies and powdered sugar. I like all the jellies and apple butter, with powdered sugar on top of the jellies. They're really outstanding. My two favorite dishes that I tend to switch between each time I visit are their Chicken Fried Steak and eggs, which is always delicious, and the Rande Omelette, named for the founding owner's husband. My family all have their favorites, like The Danish Breakfast, whilst some just simply order the (5) Äbelskivers, by themselves. The staff is always friendly, the restaurant and bathrooms are always clean, and the service is always fast. Valhalla also has a gift shop with lots of great items to peruse whilst you wait for a table (which usually doesn't take long), or after you've enjoyed your meal. They have a couple of different rooms for dining. One where you can have the room all to yourself if you have a large party, and another that used to be the (kids) "Train room". This room had a little Thomas the train and little toys and activities like felt boards and whatnot to keep kiddos entertained. My kiddos are grown, so I don't know if they still have that room set up for families with small kids or not, but it is a separate room off from the main dining area. There are two 1-seater bathrooms, off of the main dining area, and another bathroom closer to the entry/gift shop area. There is a small parking lot, but if that is full, you can usually find parking on the street out front, or there are a couple of free parking lots nearby. If you've never been to Valhalla Restaurant, in Visalia, you should absolutely check it out, for a unique and delicious breakfast experience. Oh, and they close at 2 PM, so breakfast and lunch only.

Valhalla is one of those places you find on Yelp and think, Alright, the name alone deserves a…read morevisit. You expect Vikings, longships, maybe a horn of mead. Instead, you walk in and immediately wonder if you've stepped into the wrong business. Shelves of trinkets, cards, and knick‑knacks greet you first, a full gift shop, and for a moment you're standing there, confused, scanning for a hostess who never appears. Then you notice the sign‑in sheet. Write your name, your party size, and wait. It feels old‑school, almost nostalgic, like something from a diner that's been around long enough to earn the right to do things its own way. When they call your name, you're led through what feels like a maze, rooms inside rooms, hallways that twist, tables tucked into corners, and finally a dining room decorated with a Viking boat and family portraits that look like they date back to the mid‑20th century. It's quirky, unexpected, and strangely charming in a way only small‑town institutions can pull off. The staff is kind, the sort of people who've probably worked here long enough to know half the regulars by name. The placemats are printed with ads for local businesses, a reminder that this place is stitched into the fabric of Visalia. The menu is a long laminated sheet, the kind you flip over once or twice just to make sure you didn't miss anything. I ordered the keto plate, bacon, sausage, three eggs, and a small bowl of cottage cheese topped with avocado slices. Simple, straightforward, exactly what it says it is. The eggs were room temperature, which took a little of the comfort out of the dish, but everything else was fine. Not great, not bad, just breakfast. Valhalla is interesting. The name promises Vikings, but what you get is an American diner wrapped inside a gift shop, wrapped inside a labyrinth of rooms. It's the kind of place you try once because curiosity brought you there. Whether you come back depends on what you're looking for. For me, this was a last‑minute solo brunch, a little adventure, a new spot to check off the list. And in that sense, it delivered, an experience, a story, something worth writing about.

This was not the experience we were expecting when we ordered delivery the other night from them…read more We got a Bowl of Creamy Potato Cheese Soup, slice of Key Lime Pie and a slice of Lemon Cream Cheese pie; $27 dollars not including tip. The Soup was just ok. Lacked flavor, potatoes were non existent and it arrived lukewarm "but that's the delivery drivers fault". For $11.49 we expected better. Key Lime Pie: it was "ok" but the whipped cream tasted warm and the pie was borderline warm as well. Must've been put next to the hot soup. Which in my mind "why?" It's cold pie. Should I not have eaten it, yeah. Did I eat it anyway? Well it was an $8 slice of pie! So yes, I'm going to eat it! It was also small for the price as well. You get a bigger slice of cheesecake at their competitor for around the same price. Lemon Cream Cheese Pie: doesn't come with whip cream "unless you pay for it". That slice of pie was also $8. How does the key lime come with whip but you pay extra for this one!? The picture shows the whip on it which looks good, but doesn't give you an option to pay for it either. The flavor was just ok. Delivery was atrocious! The guy took forever to get there, then took forever to get to our place. It was overall a bad experience all the way around. Thankful I didn't pay the $13 for an order of mozzarella sticks. Overall: what happened to this spot? I know these restaurants are becoming non existent in our small towns and we wanna come try them out. But when you're charging this much and not getting the quality you deserve, well it makes me not wanna come back. Which sucks cause I love a good slice of pie. But not a small slice for $8 that I gotta pay extra for whip lol.

Although the food here was good, the atmosphere was chaotic. The floor staffing was not able to service the dining room and the delegation of duties appeared haphazard (two servers working the counter as well as part of the floor). We waited about 10 minutes and had to call over a server because no one had come to take the drink order. That server could have corrected this but instead said that we were not in her area and our waitress had broken a cup and cut herself. She could have been more gracious and taken our drink order. Our server came over a couple of minutes later and apologized, but she seemed overwhelmed. We received our coffee and later our food, but I asked for milk for my coffee on three occasions before any was brought to me. The food was good and was served fairly promptly but no refills on coffee were offered and when we asked for refills there our request was acknowledged but never fulfilled. When we went to the counter to pay our check, our server was unable to make change for a $52.08 bill from $62.08. This could be a good local place based on the food, but the service is such that I cannot recommend it.
