Valley Cafe

I really enjoyed my country fried steak, especially the gravy! I love the atmosphere, and old bank building right on down to the vault. Separate bar area looked interesting, as did the buffet too. I'm not sure if they offer a buffet? I found the wall covered with old pictures of the area fascinating. Did not have room, but would have loved to give a try at their dessert menu, love the variety and pictures! Will have to start with dessert next trip. And want to give their Brunswick Stew a try too.

Service was really good and the waitress was VERY easy on the eyes. The food isn’t the freshest, what’s labeled on the menu doesn’t stand up to scrutiny (fresh local freshwater fish), and wasn’t too bad. Their dessert menu looked pretty good. I had the chicken liver which was a bit overcooked and dry for my particular taste, but might be fine for some. The stuffed mushrooms were microwaved, which is an unforgivable shortcut in a restaurant with a kitchen and a chef. The collared greens were good. It was very competitively priced with the 4, yes 4, Mexican restaurants in town (weird).

My husband and I went to Valley Cafe for their Sunday buffett. We arrived there around 4 pm. We didnt know that the buffett ended at 3pm. I asked our waitress about the buffett and she said its 11 to 3 every Sunday. So we continued to order something else. She put my husband down because he didnt want gravy on his hamburger steak. Then she said "what kinda of Dufus would come here for a buffett when it was at the end of time for it". I told her we thought the buffett was offered to closing time which was 8pm. She was just flat out hateful to us. We got up and left and we'll never be back!

We took our rainbow trout catch and they cooked it for us so perfectly. The side dishes and the dessert was very yummy. We loved our waiter Lynn. She was so friendly. Great service. Nice people. Great food.

Night and day difference in every aspect from our experience at another local restaurant yesterday morning. The waitress was prompt, attentive, and friendly. Our food arrived promptly hot out of the kitchen. Everything that we expected before beginning the shirt drive to Highlands for the day. We will be back!
