This is a casual neighborhood place with exceptional food that's fresh and served by a friendly staff which and these are the keys to their success. In addition, their price point is mid range and remains pretty constant. A good price and wonderful value are also part of their formula.

I had the opportunity to sample the ribs and carrot cake which were both exceptional. The ribs were moist and the sauce was very well seasoned and had a good consistency. The carrot cake was very moist  topped with a cream cheese frosting  and  the cake was covered in walnuts that were fresh. This delight did not disappoint and  I highly recommend after you finish your meal.

Valley Lodge is a great stop for lunch and dinner and offer fresh products and ingredients at a good price served by a friendly wait staff.
