Breakfast burrito
Lynn C.

I had never been to the area before and needed a place to kill time and get some food, this place was mentioned in every post on social media. However it was a very busy Saturday morning so I opted to do a takeout order. The menu has everything and anything imaginable. I chose a favorite which was breakfast burrito that had chorizo in it. It was so flavorful I didnt even need the pico or sour cream. It was served with potatoes that had great flavor as well. It was all amazing even in a takeout box. If I ever find myself in area or my husband is up for road trip id come back to try more.

Hands down our favorite breakfast spot yet since our recent move to Ohio! We absolutely loved everything we ate and the staff was just beyond amazing. We came Valentine's Day morning on a whim...had the chocolate covered strawberry hot chocolate (yesssss) and coffee, a big breakfast of eggs, spicy gravy, meats, and potatoes, and the Amish toast which was pure heaven. We came back again on Fat Tuesday for the crab cakes and shrimp and grits. So awesome! It was also clean and inviting. Can't wait to come back!

Pancake & Eggs
Wendy W.

This place was your typical run of the mill diner with all the things you love about homey American brunch. Rustic signage, clean bathrooms, chill seating space and relaxed atmosphere. Food was 4/5 for us because both sandwiches were DELICIOUS but the homemade chips were a little burnt a the bacon was on the edge in terms of too crispy-- and we like crispy bacon! Pancake was fluffy and eggs were basic but good. Overall, great experience! Service was very sweet and down to earth. All smiles and kindness! Also this place is very kid-friendly! High chairs and changing tables in the bathroom.

Corned Beef Hash side

I keep going back to this place because the food is absolutely fantastic--everything I've tried tastes amazing, and it's consistently delicious. That said, it seems like they've switched to cheaper flatware recently; the handles have rough or sharp edges that uncomfortably dig into my fingers and hands while eating. It's a small detail

Chicken fried steak (I ordered two, one on top of the other), scrambled eggs with cheese, English muffin, and homemade waffle fries.

Edit: Returned 1 year later (1/2/26) and the chicken fried steak gravy was so bad I couldn't finish it. Tangy in the wrong way, lighter in color than last year, and just straight up didn't taste good. The eggs were overcooked and dried out, and the home fry potatoes were passable but I couldn't eat much of it. To their credit, the service was friendly and attentive and they comped the plate. I hope to hear from Valley that they communicated with the old chef from January 2025 and consulted him to bring back the legendary chicken fried steak that once was.

Chicken sandwich
Kayy P.

A little late on my review but took my mother and my fiancé here and I've been begging to go back ever since. Atmosphere: it's a cute little diner bustling with customers and amazing servers with a sense that reminded me of the country hospitality I am used to. Lively, adorable and inviting in a comforting way. If it's your first time, it won't feel like it. Food: we got a pitcher of mimosas and it was strong and delicious. My fiancé and mom got Ruben's that they both loved. I got a crispy chicken sandwich but I believe it had bbq and no cheese so I got it custom with bacon, cheese, Mayo, etc. (pretty much made it a crispy chicken club that they should DEFINITELY put on the menu because it was the best I've had in a 30 mi radius). I'm telling you if I didn't live 20 minutes away, I'd be there twice a week no doubt. This is THE PLACE.

This is like mom's cooking. Aunt Jemima's syrup, blueberry pancakes, thin bacon, drip coffee. Solid, not over the top. Great to bring kids or grandma. Service was very good, really appreciated my servers friendly attitude. Casual local eatery with no surprises.

Diner lunch, with the soft snow falling in the window. #LoveIt

One of the best places in town for breakfast or dinner. Customer service is out of this world even when they are over the top busy.

The burgers here are amazing- savory fries swapped for regular fries is a must. My husband usually…read moregets a chili cheese hot dog and they are huge and full of chili and cheese. The building isn't much to look at but it's what on the inside that counts. Hodge and his crew are always friendly and good for some laughs. If you're looking for good food and company definitely check it out.

Seems to be permanently closed. Proprietor has been stringing what once was, loyal customers along…read morefor more than a year. A proper re-opening date never was announced. Servers that were there moved on to other employment opportunities. People grow older, for some retirement is in their sights, sadly for some retirement is not by their own choosing by whatever circumstances. Some small establishments are passed to family member that will with all heart keep that business going and thriving. Some Proprietors have no one to pass their legacy to, and others pass it along with hopes and expectations that do not come to fuision. When someone takes over a small business their goal is sometimes not to make changes too quickly then to the detriment of the business some want to quickly make changes. Some changes chase people away. Hodges Cafe had a glorious heyday. Hodge was always a friendly face ready for nice conversation or life advise. The Hodge Burger was award winning in this area; people still crave them. Friday nights were great for a Hodge Burger then walk it off with a walk to the theatre for a movie (now closed) then walk back to Hodges for beers. Sad that most of the neighborhood establishments are gone now. Barberton had quite a few neighborhood places that could be safely walked to from home. It seems to now be a rarity that people can pass along anything and expect the recipient to love it with as much heart as the giver. Your public misses you Hodge.

Hodge's Cafe - The hamburger bun is dry and cold...the fries are too thin and greasy....but the cheeseburger itself is the best I've eaten in a dive bar.
