    Arroz caldo
    R. S.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    Corned beef hash and eggs.

    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.

    Bacon fried rice.

The food was all really good. We all had seconds. We really enjoyed this All You Can Eat buffet. There is tons of sitting areas that are covered if the weather isn't great. The day we went to the bake it was very rainy and the covered seating was great. There are also multiple heaters as well. We loved the short walk up to the gorgeous waterfall.

The walk down to the waterfall was beautiful, and roasting marshmallows over the fire was such a fun touch. The salad bar and the buffet had an excellent variety of fresh, delicious options. The blueberry cake was unbelievably good, and the clam chowder was outstanding. The only downside was the older lady serving the clam chowder. She wasn't very welcoming Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely recommend it!

The restaurant was crowded and loud, which I understand can happen in a popular tourist spot, but the staff seemed completely overwhelmed and uninterested in helping customers. What bothered me most was the service from our waitress, Summer. In my experience, she came across as disrespectful and dismissive the entire time we were there. Simple questions about the menu felt like an inconvenience to her, and the attitude we received made the whole meal uncomfortable. We were rushed while ordering, had long waits for drinks and food, and when we tried to politely ask about the delay, the response felt rude instead of helpful. The food itself was average at best and definitely not worth the prices. Some items arrived lukewarm, and parts of our order were incorrect. By the time everything was fixed, the rest of the table had already finished eating. The atmosphere may appeal to tourists looking for the "old saloon" vibe, but customer service should still matter no matter how busy a place is. Overall, this was one of the least enjoyable dining experiences I've had in Alaska. Between the poor service, long waits, and disrespectful attitude we experienced from Summer, I wouldn't choose to come back or recommend it to others. I hope management takes customer concerns more seriously in the future because the location and concept have a lot of potential.
