    Arroz caldo
    R. S.

    Delicious Filipino home cooking in a cozy atmosphere, worth a detour off the beaten path! I read about Valley Restaurant in an Eater article on Filipino/Tlingit cooking that said this is the best place to try the Alaskan style of home-cooked chicken adobo. Let me tell you I was not disappointed! It was a chilly, rainy day and the meal began with a super comforting arroz caldo that felt like a warm hug. This was followed by our order of lumpia that were perfectly crispy and not greasy. Then came the main event: the chicken adobo and fried rice. The chicken has to be some of the best I have ever eaten. Cooked on the bone and bathed in tangy broth, It could not have been more tender and juicy. I went for the upgrade to the fried rice with the meal and it was also excellent.  My partner ordered the Chinese noodles without meat. It was a steamy bowl of tasty broth, noodles, and bok choy. Another perfect choice for a chilly day! The restaurant itself is more or less the sort of roadside diner I grew up with. Booth seating and a big breakfast menu. A stuffed bear greets you at the door.  This is a true locals joint and everyone is friendly. The chef/owner came out and talked to everybody. She beamed with the deserved pride of bringing such pleasure to her friends and patrons.  All in all Valley Restaurant is well worth the detour off you're passing through Juneau and heading out for a hike at Mendenhall Glacier. If I find my way back to Juneau, I will make it my goal to come back to Valley Restaurant.

    We loved it. Best breakfast in Juneau! We didn't try the Loco Moco, but we will next time!

    Double cheeseburger with fries.

    I went for dinner. Had the double cheeseburger with fries. Was really good actually . Usual price for Juneau and the service was good. The restaurant was not that clean, but the burger was cooked great, tasted great, fresh ingredients. Fries were hot. A great filling meal . Yum

    Sometimes good food at a good price in a laid back diner is what you need. This place hits that spot!! The menu is awesome with a little bit of everything. From typical diner food of burgers and fries, to seafood and even Chinese!! I've had the blackened Halibut before and it was fantastic!! This time though I was hankering for se Chinese and didn't wanna go to Canton for overpriced food. So we came here instead and I'm so glad we did!! WAAAYYY better food for a MUCH lower price. Plus every entrée comes with choice of soup or salad, garlic bread and a cup of steamed veggies. So basically a TON of food!! I got the sweet and sour chicken and upgraded to fried rice. Pro tip, definitely get the fried rice. So worth the extra $3. The fried rice is AMAZING. Eggs, onions, all the goodies and it's actually fried and flavorful. The sweet and sour chicken was super good too. Deep fried to a golden brown but not like the normal deep fried pieces of chicken you see at run of the mill spots. Nope these guys use a delicious breading that has some flavor to it. The sweet and sour sauce is yellow not the normal red. It reminded me of the duck sauce at the chinese places back in the Midwest. It was super tasty though and they sprinkled the chicken with roasted sesame seeds. Yum!! I also ordered some lumpia, and WOW were they spot on!! You can tell they make it fresh with all sorts of yummy veggies in there. My wife had mongolian beef. It was perfect and had a nice amount of sautéed onions and green onions. The sauce was awesome mixed into the yummy fried rice!! All and all The Valley restaurant is definitely one of my favorite spots to eat in Juneau.

    Food was warm and bland for a breakfast. Service is hit or miss unless the servers like you.

    Tony's - Our 8 oz Prime Sirloin Steak with fire roasted gorgonzola butter!

    Fantastic meal in Auke Bay! We were in town for a vacation and had seen good reviews online…read more We tried the clams, the mussels, and avocado bacon burger, and the steak and truffle frites. Tony was so friendly and came to check in with us about how everything was. We had a good chat about food, Juneau, etc. One of the kitchen staff gave us as little sample of a huckleberry milkshake - so yummy! The food came out quickly and sizzling hot. It's a fast casual place with a nice vibe. There are picnic tables outside with a view of the harbor and several tables inside. Look forward to coming again and trying more items on the menu!

    We came here for dinner on a Monday at around 5:30. We were one of the first people there but it…read morefilled up fast! About 20 minutes after we arrived, the place was full. I ordered the 8oz sirloin which came with fries and grilled veggies and a double chocolate chip cookie dough milkshake. Service was fast, food came promptly. Everything was delicious. Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare (Tony asks how you want it cooked). Everyone in the party loved their food. The Gorgonzola butter on the steak was fantastic as well as the horseradish sauce! I noticed that a couple people got the steamed clams which looked really good. And pretty much everyone else in the restaurant ordered steak, so if you want a good steak, this is the place to be! The milkshake was also fantastic. Tony was so nice and came over to talk to us and see how we liked the food. We'll definitely be back!

It…read morewas an all-you-can eat buffet with freshly grilled salmon (cooked to perfection and so good!). The following is from their site which describes perfectly what we experienced: Enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring alderwood-grilled wild Alaska salmon, Bonanza barbecue ribs, Chilkoot baked beans, Tongass wild-rice pilaf, hot chowder, fresh salads, and homemade blueberry cake for dessert. Beer and wine are available for purchase. Come back for seconds--or even thirds--while live Alaskan folk music sets the mood. The music was really nice...a gentleman playing guitar and singing a lot of Cat Stevens and other 70's related tunes. He was not overpowering and it added a nice soft ambiance to the experience. You eat outside at picnic tables and it's such a wonderful rustic feeling being in the trees and hearing birds. They also have resident squirrels who visit your table for handouts! So to run down the food...the chowder we didn't care for but everything else was delicious. Again, the salmon was so melt in your mouth savory and they did offer a sauce to pour over but we declined, just wanting to savor that fresh wild-caught salmon (did you know you can't farm fish in Alaska? It's a big no-no!) The ribs were good and savory, and very saucy with a nice tasting bbq sauce. I like the cole slaw, wife didn't care for it...it was creamy and a bit sweet. Loved the rice and the baked beans and the blueberry cake is such a great finish! After eating, we took a walk along the creek to the waterfall, which is so beautiful. Saw a couple of eagles soaring over the trees and just being in Alaska nature is so good for the soul! Highly recommend this excursion if you have the chance.
