    Oatmeal.
    Jenner B.

    Great place for breakfast. Small but the place where everyone knows your name. The food is also delicious. They move fast servicing quickly. I highly recommend the oatmeal.

    The most consistent breakfast place in Danville. Paulino and Lupe always provide amazing service. My drink is rarely empty.

    Egg Eggs Benedict with chicken and country potatoes

    Found this spot and saw they and homemade cinnamon rolls and needed to try them ASAP! Had the steak and eggs for my husband and the egg Benedict's for me and food was amazing, super fast service and the cinnamon rolls were delicious!!! We tried the regular one and saw there was only one pumpkin left so we took it to go! Good portion for food, customer service 5/5. We left very happy :). Will come back again for Aaron's cinnamon rolls!!

    Hot cocoa

    We have passed this restaurant several times, and today was the first time we walked in. I'm so glad that we did! We were seated in a booth at one end of the restaurant. It was clean, and we noticed that they cleaned the tables with cleaners and disposable wipes which is great because it doesn't spread the germs around. They noticed that we had a little toddler with us, and they offered him a car to play with and a coloring packet with crayons which totally made his day. He was so happy throughout the meal and did not fuss or fight with us the entire time. First, we ordered our drinks. The hot cocoa was super adorable with a mountain of whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and an edible straw made out of Pirouline Rolled Wafers in the flavor of Chocolate Hazelnut. My stepdaughter loved this! My daughter ordered a rather large cranberry juice which was good. I ordered a mimosa, and not only was it large, it was strong! We also ordered a vanilla oat milk latte which we will order with a shot of espresso next time as we are a high octane type of family. For entrees, I ordered French toast which I have no photos of because my son grabbed one off of my plate right away. I loved how the the large scoop of butter was soft and melts in the middle of the French toast halves. I was able to quickly spread bits of butter on each slice, while dipping each slice of toast in my syrup - this was decadent! My daughter ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and sourdough. She was kind enough to let me eat some and she didn't notice that I took some away from her so she was eating it slowly. She found out that I ate some then she quickly finished the rest of her plate! My stepdaughter loved her Mickey Mouse pancakes with a side MOUNTAIN of whipped cream with rainbow sprinkles and a Pirouline Rolled Wafer! My partner wasn't in love with the Diablo sandwich but I didn't taste it. Presentation was fantastic for everything! Customer service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and nice! I am in love with Valley Medlyn's. The kids agreed that this is our new favorite brunch spot!

    California Omelette
    Emmeline W.

    This is an OG in downtown Danville. Vally Medlyn's is your classic American brunch nook, from its checkered plates down to its free coffee refills. I visited with a few friends and immediately understood why it has appealed to the average Danville resident for almost 100 years LOL Being such a tiny spot, the space fills quickly and service gets bogged down. The three of us probably waited 30+ minutes for 3 dishes, and nobody refilled water in the meantime. CALIFORNIA OMELETTE: Comes with your choice of potatoes and toast. Hash browns were bland but crisped well. Omelette was about standard, also one-note but cooked fine. You have to LOVE American food to really love this place. Like, the good ol' days American food. Like... Basic, mild palate American food. It is what it is.

    Still, a great breakfast place! They will always try to get your order exactly the way you want. Regarding the bad review of the "Latina" waitress...really?? Have you ever waited tables on a busy day when it's hot? She's amazing, always hustling. In fact, the reason we come weekly is because of all of staff. Well done guys

    Biscuits and Gravy with scrambled eggs.
    Kevin C.

    Fantastic old school breakfast diner with great service and rib stickin food. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with two scrambled eggs. It was awesome. Classic American diner faire with an old time Danville flair. Located right downtown with plenty of street parking at 8:00am. Love this place! The kinda place where you're very likely to be sitting next to 3 Danville cops, the mayor and the the local barber all enjoying their meal, the local hospitality and warm atmosphere of Danville RFD. As Arnold says: "I'll be back"

They have a fish option and also carnitas! I had one of each - I saw someone else with an order of onion strings that looked amazing (perfectly fried to a crispy golden brown) but I went with garlic fries instead. I ordered them extra crispy with extra garlic. The fries are handcut so they are in between a skinny fry and thick fry size. You find pieces of both sizes. Everything was excellent!! My friends ordered a basket of tater tots with jalepenos battered and fried. I had some of these and they were really good also. Decent prices ($3 for tacos, fries were about the same) They have fountain drinks but I ordered from the bar. This place is inside the bowling alley in Danville but I'll definitely go back just for the food sometime when I'm not bowling. The whole menu looked awesome!

The Reuben sandwich, hot open faced turkey plate, fried chicken plate, and nearly everything else is all delicious. The service is overall good too and there aren't many complaints with them. The only complaints I can think of are the pricing but that is expected due to inflation. And then the service at times could be better as there are times where sometimes staff may forget items, or be gone longer than expected. Overall, I would still attend this black bear diner any day.

And this is probably my favorite one. Usually frequent the one in Pleasanton. But for whatever reason, we didn't feel like going to that one last night. So for a late dinner, we decided we wanted breakfast. And since we live in San Ramon, we ended up in danville. This is gonna sound so picky, but to be honest, I usually don't order hash Browns because I don't like the way that they come out at typical diners. Well, last night vain made my breakfast to perfection. I also had gravy and biscuits and I was actually surprised because the gravy was hot and the biscuits were soft and warm and it had the perfect amount of seasoning and salt. That usually doesn't happen for me in Pleasanton. The only thing I would say was a bummer. Was that the coffee that I ordered was lukewarm at best. The customer service was awesome. They seemed like a very happy team. It was nice and quiet even though there were other families there dining as well. I think, from now on, I'm going to head to their diner in Danville, as opposed to Pleasanton. Better than I expected!

The Honey bread itself has a nice crisp to it with the right balance of sweetness to it. My wife and I devoured this. Definitely recommended. Overall, this was a great spot if you are craving crepes.

George got the Double Burger combo with garlic feta fries while I opted for the Cali Burger Combo with curly fries. The staffer who helped us was friendly and helpful. I noticed he was wearing a 'Back to the Future' hat and we both agreed that a rumored potential reboot of the franchise would be a terrible idea. Our food came out pretty quickly. The Cali Burger was very good. The burger was very juicy, and I loved that sourdough bread was used. The curly fries were good as well. I'm glad that Fat Maddie's is still around. Good burger joints are getting harder to find. I will definitely return. 4 solid stars.

I love places like Lafayette where all the businesses support each other and help each other grow. Their brews on tap are mostly all local, and we grabbed some Pilsners sourced from Lafayette's new brewery, Western Flyer. So fresh and crisp. Can't wait to also check that spot out. Food-wise, we came in mid-afternoon and grabbed a Kale Pancetta salad (they pre-split the salad for us on two plates which was so nice), and for the mains, we both grabbed the Tuna Melt with fries. The salad was delicious. I'm def a tuna melt girly, and I loved the addition of the ciabatta (?) as the bread option, so fresh as well. This tuna melt comes with grapes fyi, and a few other elements mixed in. I absolutely loved it, just sharing though as I know how some tuna stans like their tuna :) This spot is clean, spacious, and perfectly situated in walking distance downtown. Would love to come back for brunch with a group of friends, or even again during the upcoming Lafayette Art & Wine Fest. Food is good, service is quick and friendly, and vibes are right.
