    Grilled cheese & fish 'n chips (upgraded to fried rice)
    Thomas H.

    Friendly local restaurant on the way out from Mendenhall Glacier. Had to try their fish and chips, and substituted for the yummy fried rice. Mostly locals in there. The owner lady knew most of the customers. Such a warm local place and entertaining watching her sit right down at the booth with customer while taking their order and asking them about their son's romance partner.

    Delicious Filipino home cooking in a cozy atmosphere, worth a detour off the beaten path! I read about Valley Restaurant in an Eater article on Filipino/Tlingit cooking that said this is the best place to try the Alaskan style of home-cooked chicken adobo. Let me tell you I was not disappointed! It was a chilly, rainy day and the meal began with a super comforting arroz caldo that felt like a warm hug. This was followed by our order of lumpia that were perfectly crispy and not greasy. Then came the main event: the chicken adobo and fried rice. The chicken has to be some of the best I have ever eaten. Cooked on the bone and bathed in tangy broth, It could not have been more tender and juicy. I went for the upgrade to the fried rice with the meal and it was also excellent.  My partner ordered the Chinese noodles without meat. It was a steamy bowl of tasty broth, noodles, and bok choy. Another perfect choice for a chilly day! The restaurant itself is more or less the sort of roadside diner I grew up with. Booth seating and a big breakfast menu. A stuffed bear greets you at the door.  This is a true locals joint and everyone is friendly. The chef/owner came out and talked to everybody. She beamed with the deserved pride of bringing such pleasure to her friends and patrons.  All in all Valley Restaurant is well worth the detour off you're passing through Juneau and heading out for a hike at Mendenhall Glacier. If I find my way back to Juneau, I will make it my goal to come back to Valley Restaurant.

    We loved it. Best breakfast in Juneau! We didn't try the Loco Moco, but we will next time!

    Double cheeseburger with fries.

    I went for dinner. Had the double cheeseburger with fries. Was really good actually . Usual price for Juneau and the service was good. The restaurant was not that clean, but the burger was cooked great, tasted great, fresh ingredients. Fries were hot. A great filling meal . Yum

    Sometimes good food at a good price in a laid back diner is what you need. This place hits that spot!! The menu is awesome with a little bit of everything. From typical diner food of burgers and fries, to seafood and even Chinese!! I've had the blackened Halibut before and it was fantastic!! This time though I was hankering for se Chinese and didn't wanna go to Canton for overpriced food. So we came here instead and I'm so glad we did!! WAAAYYY better food for a MUCH lower price. Plus every entrée comes with choice of soup or salad, garlic bread and a cup of steamed veggies. So basically a TON of food!! I got the sweet and sour chicken and upgraded to fried rice. Pro tip, definitely get the fried rice. So worth the extra $3. The fried rice is AMAZING. Eggs, onions, all the goodies and it's actually fried and flavorful. The sweet and sour chicken was super good too. Deep fried to a golden brown but not like the normal deep fried pieces of chicken you see at run of the mill spots. Nope these guys use a delicious breading that has some flavor to it. The sweet and sour sauce is yellow not the normal red. It reminded me of the duck sauce at the chinese places back in the Midwest. It was super tasty though and they sprinkled the chicken with roasted sesame seeds. Yum!! I also ordered some lumpia, and WOW were they spot on!! You can tell they make it fresh with all sorts of yummy veggies in there. My wife had mongolian beef. It was perfect and had a nice amount of sautéed onions and green onions. The sauce was awesome mixed into the yummy fried rice!! All and all The Valley restaurant is definitely one of my favorite spots to eat in Juneau.

    Food was warm and bland for a breakfast. Service is hit or miss unless the servers like you.

    Poor service, terrible food, and the price far too high for the poor quality of food.

    Surprisingly, there aren't many places in Juneau where u can get fresh fish (that isn't fried). But…read moreThe Hangar impressed- they have a huge menu of traditional fare, so easy to find something for everyone. We got the "First Mate Plate" @ $33.99 (combo of fresh halibut & salmon), and (2) Halibut Tacos @ $26.99 + substituted the rice & beans for a cup of chowder:$4.50. This was so good, we came back the 2nd night and got the same thing! We were a party of 2 - 1st night had reservations and got seated right away; 2nd night walked in and got seated after a 5-minute wait. I think it's the larger parties that have to deal with the long wait or we were just lucky. Call in for reservations regardless. Noisy & busy but good food & good service.

    After years of searching, I have found the best onion rings and calamari, right here in Juneau…read more It's a huge plate of crispy calamari with tartar and cocktail sauce. A lot of places have shrunk their calamari serving size down and serve it with an aioli that isn't always great. The basket of onion rings were crisp and hot with the right texture. I know it's frozen but it's the old fashioned onion rings that many places have changed the breading or undercooked or overcooked. Employees are very nice here. Our server was so nice. She checked on us a few times and refilled our drinks. We also had the one pound Alaskan king crab legs. It was just the way I remembered having it when restaurants used to serve Alaskan king crab legs. They're super fat meaty long legs. It was warmed up and served with lemon and butter. It was just enough for two of us. It probably would not have fed my son. He is a big eater and he would have ordered a steak. If I was hungry or had a crab craving, it might not have been enough for just me. We've also been over eating on a cruise ship for 6 days. We shared the apple crisp ala mode for dessert. It was not crisp but it did have some crumbs thrown on top like a cobbler. It was in a warm sauce and topped with ice cream. It's a cute place with a wharf view. The tables are not on top of each other. They gave us plenty of napkins and a bib too. If I lived in the area, I would be back every month for the calamari & onion rings, and yes the crab legs. The Diet Coke was perfect too, just enough syrup and carbonation. I would definitely come back if I was in the area.
