Honestly I would give this place a 3.5 star! Definitely authentic food and decor , that transforms you back to Amersterdam or any other Dutch colony/ country. I had to satisfy my curiosity on a real Dutch breakfast... I ordered the sampler, comes with eggs, Dutch sausage, Dutch pancake and Dutch pancake balls. Pancake balls remind me of a cross between cornbread and a biscuit.The boisenberry jelly to dip them in, is Devine. It's like eating a donut hole with fruit jelly. The sausage is thick( minced pork) ... definitely thicker and has an off taste compared to regular breakfast sausage. Ordered a side of home fries, they were good but very stingy portion. Honestly felt like I could have eaten them all in one or two spoonfuls. Ordered the orange juice, boy was it fresh, thick and pulpy. Great way to top off an authentic meal. They have great meeting rooms for larger parties and a quaint gift shoppe ( filled with ornaments, cards , shirts and trinkets). Prices at this restaurant are very reasonable ! Credit/ debit card usage charges a fee.

I've been coming to Valhalla since I was a kid, back when they were located on Main Street. Now that I am an adult with my own family, we don't often dine out for breakfast, but when we do, Valhalla is my favorite spot. Lots of great places with great food, and friendly staff. But what makes Valhalla really stand out from the rest, is their in Äbelskivers (common spelling). They're basically little pancake balls, which you can get with a variety of jellies and powdered sugar. I like all the jellies and apple butter, with powdered sugar on top of the jellies. They're really outstanding. My two favorite dishes that I tend to switch between each time I visit are their Chicken Fried Steak and eggs, which is always delicious, and the Rande Omelette, named for the founding owner's husband. My family all have their favorites, like The Danish Breakfast, whilst some just simply order the (5) Äbelskivers, by themselves. The staff is always friendly, the restaurant and bathrooms are always clean, and the service is always fast. Valhalla also has a gift shop with lots of great items to peruse whilst you wait for a table (which usually doesn't take long), or after you've enjoyed your meal. They have a couple of different rooms for dining. One where you can have the room all to yourself if you have a large party, and another that used to be the (kids) "Train room". This room had a little Thomas the train and little toys and activities like felt boards and whatnot to keep kiddos entertained. My kiddos are grown, so I don't know if they still have that room set up for families with small kids or not, but it is a separate room off from the main dining area. There are two 1-seater bathrooms, off of the main dining area, and another bathroom closer to the entry/gift shop area. There is a small parking lot, but if that is full, you can usually find parking on the street out front, or there are a couple of free parking lots nearby. If you've never been to Valhalla Restaurant, in Visalia, you should absolutely check it out, for a unique and delicious breakfast experience. Oh, and they close at 2 PM, so breakfast and lunch only.

We stopby this restaurant on our way to Yosemite or Sequoia. The food is really good, and the service is also good, which adds to the enjoyment of the meal. We had the Danish sampler and it was delicious.

The Hidden Gem of the Central Valley: A Taste of Denmark in Visalia If you find yourself cruising down Highway 99 or heading toward the majestic Sequoias, there is a culinary "X" on the map you cannot afford to miss. Nestled in Visalia, Valhalla isn't trying to be a Michelin-starred temple of gastronomy and that's exactly why it's a masterpiece. As a food critic, I look for soul. I look for efficiency. As amateur food photographer/stylist, I look for that "honest plate." Valhalla hits the trifecta with a warm, "hygge" (Danish coziness) atmosphere that makes locals feel like family and travelers feel like they've finally found home. The Aesthetic: Rustic Hygge The vibe is "Elevated Roadside Charm." It's clean, bright, and unpretentious. The wood accents and subtle Danish motifs pay homage to the heritage of the Solvang-style roots without being kitschy. * Stylist's Note: The food here doesn't need tweezers or edible gold. It's all about the texture of a golden-brown crust and the vibrant contrast of a red lingonberry jam against a snowy dusting of powdered sugar. It looks exactly how you want comfort food to look: generous and real. The Menu: Scandinavian Roots Meet California Fresh The menu is a masterclass in "less is more." It honors Danish history while remaining approachable for the hungry traveler. Signature Dish, What Makes it Special Aebleskiver Spherical Danish pancakes, light as air, served with jam. The gold standard. Fluffy interior with a delicate crisp. The Viking Omelet Packed with savory proteins and local veggies. A powerhouse breakfast that fuels a hike through the Kings Canyon. Danish Sausage & Eggs Authentic, snappy sausages with a unique spice profile. A savory trip to Copenhagen on a single plate. Swedish/Danish Pancakes, Paper-thin, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth. Better than your grandmother's (don't tell her). Why It Works (The Restaurateur's Perspective) Valhalla succeeds because it knows its identity. In a world of over-complicated fusion menus, they stick to strong roots. * Service: It's the kind of place where the coffee stays hot and the smiles are genuine. * Accessibility: The menu is easy to read, making it perfect for a quick stop-off for travelers or a Sunday tradition for families. * Quality: You can taste the heritage. They aren't cutting corners on the fats or the flours; they are honoring the recipes passed down through generations. The Verdict: Whether you're a local regular or a wanderer looking for a rest, Valhalla is a mandatory pit stop. It is a reminder that the best meals aren't always found in big cities, but in the small towns where history is still served on a plate.

Located downtown Visalia with street and lot parking . Labeled as restaurant and gift shop which was interesting. Plus the whole Viking thing as well. You walk into a gift shop and greeted at counter . Hostess and staff was friendly . It was interesting since you walk thru a huge gift shop then enter a complete restaurant. Reminds me of a dennys but Viking theme . I was excited to try the "Viking/danish" food . It was disappointing. Tasted bland. Nothing special . Pricing was affordable.

Such a cute place, Like walking into your Grandma's house for breakfast! We came for the first time today, The service was fantastic from the host to the waitresses. Seated right away, drink orders taken right away and our meal came out so fast. We had aebleskivvers, Danish sausage, pancakes, eggs, bacon, coffee and the freshest orange juice I have ever tasted. Everything was delicious! We can hardly wait to come back and taste more of the menu.

Nick J.

The food is good and the service is good. The location is nice. The only comment I have is about a surcharge that they didn't let me know on two checks and I wouldn't the split the check other than that good place to stop for food. Surcharge per check was $.59.

Killer breakfast/brunch! I've been here each time I've visited Visalia and I adore it. I've had the avocado toast, Greek omelette, and pancake balls (Aebleskiver). Here's what worked: -- really friendly and kind staff -- quick service -- cute gift shop that you can browse through while you wait for a table -- amazing prices!! Coming from the Bay Area, the prices here are incredible. Freshly squeezed orange juice was under $4 which is unheard of in many California breakfast spots -- Aebleskivers were tasty (but really dense and filling!) -- great variety on the menu, both for veggie and non veggie eaters -- right next to the rest of downtown so there's plenty of shopping and walking you can do nearby What didn't work: -- they close early in the day, so no breakfast for dinner! -- the gift shop has some weirdly conservative cards and items. Not a huge deal but a little odd -- there is a wait to get a table but it usually isn't too bad!

I would give this place a strong 3 based on food alone, but my mom's enjoyment of the food, mixed with customer service, pushed it to a 4. The setting itself, such as the Danish atmosphere, is bonus points as well. Our server gave good advice, and our coffee was always refilled I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs, with potatoes, toast, and an abbleskiever (sp?) to share. The eggs and potatoes were delicious, and the abbleskiever was a pancake/donut hole hybrid, with a tasty homemade jam. Hot and delicious. The chicken Fried steak, while good, had a gravy that tasted a little grainy...maybe mix it a little more. My mom's Avocado omelet was cooked perfectly (per her), so I think a four is deserving. Definitely recommend and would return, but maybe give the gravy an extra stir

Veggie omelette with hash browns and ableskivers

Kelley L.

Love this place. Staff is amazing, kind and upbeat. The restaurant has a great vibe, sometimes they even have live music which is awesome. When you first walk in there is a gift shop where they have cute little gifts. Food is amazing. You must try the ableskivers with the apple butter and raspberry jam. I always get the omelette meal and its great!

We came to visit from Las Vegas for our anniversary looking for something different for breakfast. We ran into this spot near our hotel and walked towards the place. Dowtown is accessible and fully lit even after the sun goes down so take a stroll if you can. What a quaint restaurant with tasty dishes. Try the pancakes bites and the original thin pancake, they're both so good. The chicken in waffles was outstanding, not my go to but my husband is a big fanatic, it was so good I still took a few bites. The gift shop has a varied selection of cute gifts and knick knacks, take the time to stop by while you wait to be seated. The staff here is used to a busy floor so their service is fast and efficient without forgetting the friendliness.

Mary Jo T.

We popped in here for breakfast, greeted with an IMMEDIATE, WARM & FRIENDLY welcome! The atmosphere was charged with 'kindness' that you could feel! The service was fast, accommodating, and they switched-out a sausage (for hashbrowns) on my Danish Breakfast plate. With a smile too! :) Ahhh . . . the Danish pancake. . . smeared with butter and red raspberry jam. Delicious. I want one right now. Theirs are thin with some 'zing' from either buttermilk or sour cream, possibly. They have been in business for 40 years and now you know WHY!

If it's your first time walking in you might be a little confused by the cutest gift shop in downtown Visalia. It's stocked with the cutest things and the hostess is so kind. She always has a smile on her face. I had the Chorizo Skillet which is a Fall/Winter special. It was very delicious and full of flavor. My granddaughter had the kids French Toast meal. It was a nice quiet morning and the server was amazing! Definitely a MUST TRY when in Visalia!! Parking sometimes can be a little hard to find sometimes especially on a Saturday. read more

This is a contender to be a frequent breakfast place. I enjoyed it. From the food the hostess and waitress. All very nice and great customer service. Our first time here. I never heard about this place until recently. It's Danish and American breakfast. It's a cute diner/ gift shop that you can distract yourself with while you wait. The decor in the restaurant is danish nordic decor. We had the danish sampler which was perfect because it gave us a taste of what truly is a top seller. Biscuits and gravy is always a must to try. The omelette and the salsa that came with it was good! The cute pancake face for the little one was a hit. Not to mention the kids menu comes with picking a toy from the basket. Very sweet touch. I loved the ambience very cozy diner. A lot of the older folks frequent the place and I love that. We will be coming back frequently to try the rest of the menu. Great first time experience. read more

Great customer service, food is fresh and really gives a home made comfort food feel. I've only come here for breakfast but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The kids love the smiley face pancakes and they have a great selection of items to choose from. Most recently I got the ham and eggs and the ham was way over seasoned and were way too salty but it definitely won't prevent me from coming back and trying more options off the menu tho. They had a seasonal pumpkin coffee that was delicious so I highly recommend trying their seasonal options if they have more! read more

This place is super cute, many different theme rooms, you could easily host a small baby shower or brunch meeting or Mother's Day brunch in this place. My family and I were in the train room, and our two year old loved it! She was pretend cooking and playing with the train. I will say it's definitely a distracting room if you want your little one to eat, but our little was hungry so she would come take a bite and go back and play. I got the plate with eggs, sausage and pancakes, I got regular butter milk pancakes because I wasn't sure our toddler would like the other pancakes because she's such a picky eater. The pancakes were very nice and fluffy. The eggs and sausage were good, but you can't go wrong with sausage and eggs. My husband got the chicken fried steak and a side of biscuits and gravy, and I had a bite of his, and it was amazing. I would highly recommend it if you're hungry because it's not a light meal. We will definitely be back again! read more

Breakfast at one of my favorite spots. I was afraid this restaurant wouldn't be able to survive the pandemic. This is my first visit in around 2 years. I was glad to see they were busy. I decided on the Danish Sampler for breakfast. It's the same as the Valhalla Breakfast Special except I get a Danish pancake instead of hash browns. The pancake is thin like a crepe. It's folded in half in the photo. It has a nice homemade flavor. The aebleskivers are like hush puppies. I know they are made in special pans on the stove, not fried like a typical hush puppy. The sausage has a slight onion flavor. They say taste leaves a lasting and powerful memory. Today's breakfast brings me back to simplier times. read more

Early Saturday we got up and headed up north to our first destination, breakfast. We didn't do much research before our trip but enough to know where we wanted to eat and some of the things we wanted to see. I came across Valhalla on here on Yelp. The reviews were good, the menu sounded yummy and the pictures looked great so this was our spot. It took us about three hours to get here and by the time we did we were hungry. Visalia is a cute little town, so the wait was short before we were seated. Oh! I almost forgot to mention, that we got surprised with a neat little tutorial before we were seated on how to make Abelskivers (round danish pancakes). We even got to try some too! They were delicious and a neat start to our experience here. I decided on the banana walnut pancake platter with scrambled eggs and the homemade patty sausage. My Hubby got the blueberry streusel french toast platter with the link sausage. Overall we liked the sweet items we chose but the savory items left something to be desired. read more

I placed an order for a group of people, and the quality of their food was tremendously lacking. The blueberry streusel French toast was horrible. The blueberries were canned blueberries, and the toast is dry, not moist and fluffy. The chili Verde omelet didn't have chili Verde. It was just cheese and green bell peppers. I asked for a side of avocado, and they gave me three slices for a charge of 1.29. If I were getting three pieces, I would have told them to keep them. But sadly, I ordered to go and was charged a fee that added up to $4.50. I Don't care if it's sustainable boxes or not. They get them at wholesale and are ripping off their customers. I'm incredibly disappointed in the food and the quality but also the ambiance of the Restaurant. I should have just done to IHOP or Dennys. Save your money go elsewhere. read more

We ordered eggs, pancakes, bacon,sausages, hash browns and wheat and sour dough bread with their homemade jam. Everything was cooked perfectly, but having a cold glass of milk with breakfast is a must for me, they delivered there too.

We all agreed they were above basic, tasty and worth trying again. We ordered the 2 egg breakfast with added bacon, avocado toast and a side of their original aebleskiver danish pancakes. Everything was cooked as requested, fresh and delicious. My favorite part of the meal were the crispy hash browns and their homemade jam.

I've had plenty of Swedish pancakes the best in Solvang. I really wanted to like the Swedish pancakes here. Unfortunately, the pancakes came to me over cooked with one side darker and had a spongy texture. I ordered the Danish sampler. The scrambled eggs were ok and the sausage was the only thing on the plate I enjoyed. The Aebleskiver was nothing to rave about and firm, tasted almost like a corn dog breading. The place has a gift shop as you walk in. Overall, I won't be coming back here for the Swedish pancakes. read more

History

Established in 1982.

Elsie and Kim opened Valhalla with a simple formula - a passion for homemade food carefully crafted with fresh ingredients and a dedication to paying homage to their Danish heritage. Over the years, Valhalla has become well known for its quality homemade meals, baked goods, desserts and family atmosphere. After 30 successful years in the business Elsie retired in 2012. Kim's husband Rande joined Kim that same year after 25 years in the foodservice distribution industry. Valhalla is currently a three-generation family owned and operated restaurant. Every Valhalla staff member takes pride in being an important part of business. Their goal is to create the best dining experience possible for every guest by providing great food and warm and friendly service. Valhalla's commitment to excellence has made Valhalla a family tradition through generations. The hard work by all the staff day in and day out have helped many in Visalia and tourists alike find their way to Viking Heaven!

Great customer service is just as important as the products or services a business offers, and sadly this experience fell far short of that. I genuinely hope management addresses.

I really wanted to like this place. I went with a group of friends, many of whom had been here before and spoke highly of it. The restaurant aims for a vintage aesthetic, but instead, it feels more like an over-decorated 1980s kitchen that hasn't been updated. One thing I do appreciate is that they make a lot of things in-house, like the jelly and orange juice. However, that also means when they run out, they're out--so if you're planning a mid-morning brunch, you might be out of luck. You really have to go early. The waiting area and small welcome store are a nice touch, likely featuring local vendor items, which I can appreciate. But the space is way too crowded, with not enough seating, making the wait feel even longer. Once seated, the service was just okay--not terrible, but not great either. The restaurant's layout, with its individual rooms, makes it easier for the staff to overlook tables, and at times, we felt forgotten. Overall, the food was overpriced for what it was--basic dishes that I could easily make at home. I might give this place another try at some point, but it won't be anytime soon. For me, it just wasn't worth the wait or the price. read more

If you are looking for something a little different, this might be the place. When you come through the door you find yourself in a little gift shop that doesn't feel like the Valley at all. The restaurant is off to the right, and there are tables set up like little private dining rooms. The larger eating area is more typical, but the service and the food is way beyond what you might expect. The Danish pancakes are wonderful, and the aebleskivers are a must. Definitely a local favorite. read more

Although the food here was good, the atmosphere was chaotic. The floor staffing was not able to service the dining room and the delegation of duties appeared haphazard (two servers working the counter as well as part of the floor).

That server could have corrected this but instead said that we were not in her area and our waitress had broken a cup and cut herself. She could have been more gracious and taken our drink order. Our server came over a couple of minutes later and apologized, but she seemed overwhelmed. We received our coffee and later our food, but I asked for milk for my coffee on three occasions before any was brought to me. The food was good and was served fairly promptly but no refills on coffee were offered and when we asked for refills there our request was acknowledged but never fulfilled. When we went to the counter to pay our check, our server was unable to make change for a $52.08 bill from $62.08. This could be a good local place based on the food, but the service is such that I cannot recommend it.

Every bread, cookie, donut you taste from here is being made with love and recipes dating back years and lifetimes. We finally stopped by and the truck was Open!

It was just ok. The meat really didn't have flavor, nor did the rice and beans. I tasted more cabbage than anything. The salsas were good, it just wasn't enough to carry the overall flavor of the burrito. I would suggest absolutely getting some pastries from here. They have a wide selection and you grab yourself a pan and some tongs at the entrance and have at it.

The consistency/texture of the meat reminded me of great value chicken nuggets- a sponge. The ranch was so runny and flavorless, the burgers once the stars were nothing in comparison. The tater tot's were overcooked and the cheese curds sitting in a pool of grease. I really hope they go back to how they started or if it's a new cook, I don't know.

Review #935 2025-114…read more Food Order: Special Family Pack: 3 Texas Burgers (beef patty, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mayo, sesame bun), 3 Medium Fries, 3 Medium Drinks $27.99 5 Pcs. Chicken Nuggets Combo (with Medium Fries & Medium Drink) $6.29 Cashier/Server: Athena I went to Fresno for a belated family Christmas celebration with my cousins, & on the way back the kiddos cried of hunger even though we ate just a couple of hours ago. My husband's fav pit stop is in Tulare, so I searched for burgers in the area & Burger Land popped up. The LOs were against something they've never heard of & cried for the usual fast food burger franchises. Since they were the next exit, Burger Land it is! The burger joint opened a couple of months ago according to the initial Yelp review, but it could have been earlier. Upon entering, you feel as though you stepped back in time by the retro diner decor. Happy Days? I had perused the menu earlier for their special & couldn't find it on the menu: 2 Texas Burgers for $7.99 (it's on their drive-thru menu); Athena was kind & patient while I tried to find it on my iPhone. She suggested the Special Family Pack for our family of 4, which is a superb deal since a single combo is $10.99, or burger, fries, & drink would be $13.98 if ordered individually; she asked if we would like cheese ($1/slice). And a 5 Pcs. Chicken Nuggets Combo was added for the l'il guy. Our order was ready in a snap! I can smell the hot, juicy burgers & fries as I walked back, & wonder if it was a mistake to order the special. Not because the food was bad (even though I didn't taste it yet), but that it was wayyy too much food when I saw the size of the burger & the deceptive lookin' package of fries. The tantalizing smells caused someone to salivate (15 YO daughter). LOL The sesame bun was lightly toasted & held together well from start to finish as juices ran from fingers to hand. The patty was thin, maybe 1/3 or 1/4 lb.? It came with typical accompaniments: iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mayo; nothing special, really... yet it made for a tasty burger... a very large tasty burger (everything's bigger in Texas)! The crinkle fries were hot off the fryer, perfectly fried & seasoned... crisp skin & fluffy mashed potato-like inside with a sprinkling of seasoned salt. They have a Pepsi soda fountain; I chose Lipton Raspberry Tea. My daughter ate about 2/3s of the burger & 1/2 of the fries before giving up. She's on the water polo & swim teams, & has an appetite, so I was a bit surprised that she couldn't finish after clamoring about how hungry she was. My husband barely managed to finish his burger & only ate part of his fries; he finished the remaining 1/3 & I ended up finishing his fries. My son liked his chicken nuggets, surprisingly over his preferred fast food franchises. Everything was too hot to eat right away... normally he could at least start on the fries, but the cut was thicker so they took awhile to cool. At least you know they were hot! He finished her remaining fries. We left stuffed to the hilt. There's 24 burger/meal options that can be upgraded to a combo (medium fries & medium drink), dinner & baskets, salads, breakfast burritos, sides, drinks, & sweet treats. Besides the Special Family Pack, other specials include: Original Chicken Sandwich $3.99; 2 Texas Burgers $7.99; Mix & Match (Corn Dog & Burrito) 2 for $1.99. Prices are fair for most items, with shakes being a tad pricey IMO. You definitely get the bang for your buck here in terms of value for their sizable portions. There's 2 cashiers working this evening, Athena & another girl working drive-thru. Between the 2, they were either taking orders & expediting them, wiping down their work stations & dining room, re-stocking lids & straws, etc. While they didn't wear masks (not a thing anymore post-pandemic lockdown), they did wear gloves. I also saw someone from the kitchen coming out to mop the floors by the kitchen entrance & registers. The dining room is spic & span, no sticky tables or dirty chairs/stools here! Are we fans of Burger Land? You got that right! Though we don't live in the area, we'll definitely be back when hunger calls on our road trip. Highly Recommended: Special Family Pack (3 Texas Burgers, 3 Medium Fries, 3 Medium Drinks), 5 Pcs. Chicken Nuggets Combo!
