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. read more

Never offered a refill on that coffee included with breakfast, nor a water. Very mediocre, rude or nonexistent service, small portions, dirty and worn out without the overcoming roadside charm earned by good eats. read more

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. read more

Classic rundown diner vibe, albeit at Alaska prices. I came here for the famous Tlingit-style Adobo...it was just okay. The rice was fine and the chicken was whole parts cooked well, but the sauce was just so sweet and syrupy that it's not my thing. Included clam chowder was comparable: such a thick cream that it was more of a sauce than a soup, for better or worse. The clam in it was tasty, though. read more

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

Great food and hosts. Staff recommend meals were amazing. I had the omelette and the hash browns were cooked to perfection. Generous portions and good pricing. I would tell them to never change a thing overall outstanding read more

I'm being generous with 3 stars. If you are not a local do not expect great service. Had Filipino breakfast. Was ok fried rice just rice and scorched soy. Sausages were bad. Staff was border line rude. Choose carefully I would not recommend. read more

This little restaurant would probably be considered a dive restaurant when looking at it, .....BUT it had a generous portion of absolutely delicious blackened halibut served on a huge Cesar salad. Service was good. The ambiance was greatly lacking and it was hot. read more

Such a cute little, hometown diner experience! Staff is extremely welcoming and attentive. Food comes out super fast and delicious! Breakfast time is my favorite. Best place to get really flavorful fried rice in town! read more

It was great! I ordered a deluxe burger and it was delicious but I was disappointed when the Fries were plain asf no salt just potato you might like it but I didn't read more

Honestly, the best thing about this place is the amazing staff. Food is delcious (breakfast or filipino favorites) , prices are reasonable, and it just feels cozy and nostalgic inside. read more

always great food, service and always get refills on my coffee. the owners and family make the experience so joyful!

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 read more

Really simple little diner style restaurant. I stopped in for breakfast because it was next door to my hotel. The staff was super friendly, very attentive and kind. I had the 2-egg breakfast, comes with hash browns, toast and coffee for $10.95. Very simple and good! Definitely recommend if you're looking for simple, relaxing & kind service read more

Quick and good diner food. We always get a burger or lumpia to go. The decor is a bit dated but you go there for a quick bite to fill your belly. We keep going back after all these years. read more

Delicious breakfast!!! The Filipino breakfast is wonderful. Eggs were fluffy, sausage was delicious and food was cooked perfect. It was quick and the service was great. read more

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

Came here once a few years ago. Dirty, booths had tips in them, floor was chipped up like it was falling to pieces. Kultura de Isla next to Valley is much better! Hands down! read more

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. read more

The food has been mediocre at it's best, but most recently is has been really, really disappointing. The price is what you would expect in Juneau. I feel embarrassed of the quality of food and service. I would not recommend, save yourself some money and tears. read more

I heard Valley Restaurant had down-home Philippino food. I was told by the locals that live in the valley to try it. It's a family-owned restaurant that has been around for a long time. I was told to try the bacon-fried rice. So I ordered the bacon-fried rice. I was warned that they give you a lot of food. I ask for less rice and extra white and green onions. I was very pleased with the taste of my rice. It was very flavorful and they do not skimp on the bacon. As I sat waiting for my order I had the opportunity to see what other customers were eating. I can not wait to try a few things on their menu. I was told by the locals in Juneau Alaska to add some shrimp. I went to the grocery store in town and purchase some fresh Alaskan shrimp. It looks delicious and it is banging. I added a little heat and some chili sesame oil. I plan to eat with a sunny side egg on top. If you make it to Juneau Alaska please stop into Valley Restaurant for authentic Philipino food. To my yelpers let's continue to ear our way throughout the world. #Foodie4life. read more

So good! We were staying near by, and came here for breakfast twice. The pancakes were wonderful, the veggie omelette was delicious, and the service was wonderful! read more

What a great find. Just driving by and turned around to find an amazing place. All of the food that came out looked fantastic. My food was fresh and very flavorful. The clam chowder that came with my lunch was some of the best I have ever eaten. The general chicken was a large portion with great flavor. I was I had found this place earlier in my trip as I would have been back several times. Stop by if you are in the area. read more

Reading the reviews shows the restaurant changed hands about a year ago. Some reviews showed they had a few rough edges at the beginning. We had a great experience eating here. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient. They kept our coffees filled and quickly got a few things we asked for after our food arrived in short order. My wife got the Loco Moco and I got the hamburger patty and eggs with hashbrowns. Both were good and easily satisfied our hunger. We will definitely come again when we are in the area! read more

You HAVE to try the bacon fried rice. It is amazing! This is a good family restaurant. I never thought to put bacon in fried rice, I've had plenty of pork fried rice, but it is so savory and perfect. It's a good size portion that can be shared with another person or take home the extras. The appetizers can go well with it if you're sharing. Breakfast is delicious here, my mom loves the French toast here. You can eat all three meals of the day here. Dine in is currently available, along with takeout and looks like they are advertising delivery to the valley. read more

Meh. I've definitely experienced better. We were staying at a nearby hotel and the restaurant wasn't open so we did a quick Yelp search and ventured over to the Valley Restaurant. I think "classic diner" is perhaps a bit generous, more like "greasy spoon." I was not impressed with the service and I was definitely not impressed with the coffee. I thought the food was mediocre at best. You definitely get what you pay for - that's a plus, it's pretty inexpensive. I wouldn't eat here again as I am turned off from both the service and the lackluster food. Check it out for yourself, I hope you have a better experience! read more

Prices are great, and there ends the reason to go there. It is long over due for a remodel, bench cushion seats are totally warm out. If you like greasy spoons this maybe the place for you read more

Still very poor service. Do not even consider placing a complaint of any sort. My complaint was that I ordered a Taco Omelet and when I received my order, there was barely any omelet filler. It was mostly all egg and even that was barely one egg. When complaining, Linda (part owner) yelled at me and tried claiming that was how they've always made their omelets. Which I know was not true. She refused to send it back and proceeded to yell at me more. Then yells that if I don't like their food then go somewhere else. Which I have done since. Donna's has much better service, better coffee and better food. Even one of the waitresses had left Valley restaurant and has since been working at Donna's. In fact, Linda has been the reason many other regulars have quit going there. read more

No matter what time of day you go the food is consistently great. Today I had an omelet, someone had chicken fried steak, my husband had pancakes eggs and hash browns, someone else had a chicken wrap. Everyone enjoyed their food. read more

We had a late breakfast here. We got a table quick and the service the really good. Breakfast was tasty and started our day nicely!

The garbage plate was great for breakfast. My wife had the chicken fried steak and she said it was really good. The staff was friendly and the food came very quickly. Everything was prepared exactly as ordered and the best part is the coffee was free with the meal. I tried the other places nearby for breakfast, this place is hands down the best, especially when it comes to the price read more

This is a very local experience type of breakfast place. Food was good, eggs were a little to over easy and the sausage had a weird taste. The bacon was AMAZING with a smoky taste. Coffee was morning roast, I prefer dark. read more

Don't expect fine dinning here. It is certainly your typical dinner food i.e. Hamburgers, cold cut sandwiches and breakfast food. The prices are reasonable, but the service is so slow. At times I could locate my waitress and the establishment at the time only had 6 ppl in it. Great for after the club lets out and your options are limited. read more

Portions are big and definitely a casual vibe. Food is hit or miss. Somedays it is great and others not so much. Service is usually pretty good but the restaurant needs a deep cleaning for sure read more

Hit or miss, but worth the gamble. I've never eaten anything but the breakfasts, and I LOVE the garbage plates. Its an "everything" type scramble with jahalapinos and hash browns. Sometime they come out and are served burnt, so I've learned to check my to go box before I leave the parking lot. The MocoLoco is a tragedy! The most disgusting MocoLoco I have ever eaten, the beef Patty is bland and extremely dry, much like the rice. The brown gravy is most likely from a jar or packet - the burnt grill scrappings are most likely added to it for "flavor". Putting gravy on dry hockey pucks and rice does not make it better or eddible. Stick to the garbage plate or one of the other simple breakfast items like Panckakes. 2 garbage plates and a short stack will run you a little over 30$. So this place is a little pricy but the portions are fair. read more

Great food and service but weak coffee. They need to fix that. Fried rice loco moco was ok but philipino breakfast with the sausage is tha bomb. A Hawaiian from Hawaii. read more

Had the bacon cheese burger. Requested cheddar instead of american. We took the food to go. It was a huge burger. Definitely fulfilling. Asked for ranch on the side for my fries. Tasted a little tart. Had my sister taste it and she just told me it tasted like the ones from a salad bar. Aside from that, food was good and hearty. Apparently they are known for their loco moco. I should have tried it. Next time. read more
