Incredible food and service! I brought my three kids here for a classic Valentine's Day breakfast and was so touched by the thoughtful details -- adorable V-Day goodie bags and even a Hot Wheels car for each child. They went above and beyond. Highly recommend -- hands down the best breakfast in Danville! read more

Maybe no cockroaches in the toast! Yesterday was not the first time we saw bugs crawling around the floor and walls, but it will definitely be the last! read more

Vally Medlyn's - Diners Near Me - Danville, California

Great breakfast, excellent customer service, good prices. Hopping busy place but worth it. Casual, cozy, farm kitchen like atmosphere. Inside and outside patio dining. Dog friendly at outdoor tables; dog treats on a stand out front. Meat lovers omelette was fantastic, filled with cut up ham, link sausage, bacon and cheese. Had hash browns which were fresh, tasted like they'd been made from baked potatoes, yummy. Sour dough toast with extra butter. The eggs for the omelette were so good. Everyone who helped it served us was friendly, helpful. I loved my breakfast! read more

I took my daughters to Valley Medlyn's on Easter. It was my first time and boy do I wish I would have tried them sooner. It was as if we had gone to a family member's house. We felt so welcome and spoiled by the staff. My daughters got Easter crafts, Coloring books and a small toy each. The French toast I ordered for the girls was so good that I had to order an extra one for myself. I got the Greek omelette with rye toast. Honestly it is the best breakfast and service I have ever had in town. We can't wait to be back! This is a family owned business and you just feel that warm vibe which is nearly impossible to find in danville. We will be back soon! read more

Great service and fantastic food. Vally Medlyn is a go to local breakfast place conveniently located on the main drag in Danville.

We ordered the chicken fried steak and a short stack of pancakes. So goooood. Service so good. We will definitely be back. Cool place it's a total neighborhood diner! Forgot to say they even put dog treats out for the furry people! read more

This was our first time eating here and it will not be our last! The staff was so kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. We had Easter brunch here as a family and the staff made our kids feel welcomed with coloring items and toys as well. Now for the food, it was equally awesome. Amazing pancakes, excellent eggs/bacon and great portions for the price. Thanks for a great experience! read more

Found this spot and saw they and homemade cinnamon rolls and needed to try them ASAP! Had the steak and eggs for my husband and the egg Benedict's for me and food was amazing, super fast service and the cinnamon rolls were delicious!!! We tried the regular one and saw there was only one pumpkin left so we took it to go! Good portion for food, customer service 5/5. We left very happy :). Will come back again for Aaron's cinnamon rolls!! read more

Who can go wrong with the Chicken Fried Steak, so much food!!! Three perfect over easy eggs, crispy hash browns, biscuit and gravy. OMG! Great people, so friendly. Sat at the Counter for the show. My favorite place to get breakfast in Danville read more

This place is a religious experience. If God isn't in the kitchen, he must have hand selected the team that is. I've been coming here for over 20 years. It is exactly the same - perfect. You might have to wait. Patience is a virtue. Deal with it. :) read more

We have passed this restaurant several times, and today was the first time we walked in. I'm so glad that we did! We were seated in a booth at one end of the restaurant. It was clean, and we noticed that they cleaned the tables with cleaners and disposable wipes which is great because it doesn't spread the germs around. They noticed that we had a little toddler with us, and they offered him a car to play with and a coloring packet with crayons which totally made his day. He was so happy throughout the meal and did not fuss or fight with us the entire time. First, we ordered our drinks. The hot cocoa was super adorable with a mountain of whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and an edible straw made out of Pirouline Rolled Wafers in the flavor of Chocolate Hazelnut. My stepdaughter loved this! My daughter ordered a rather large cranberry juice which was good. I ordered a mimosa, and not only was it large, it was strong! We also ordered a vanilla oat milk latte which we will order with a shot of espresso next time as we are a high octane type of family. For entrees, I ordered French toast which I have no photos of because my son grabbed one off of my plate right away. I loved how the the large scoop of butter was soft and melts in the middle of the French toast halves. I was able to quickly spread bits of butter on each slice, while dipping each slice of toast in my syrup - this was decadent! My daughter ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and sourdough. She was kind enough to let me eat some and she didn't notice that I took some away from her so she was eating it slowly. She found out that I ate some then she quickly finished the rest of her plate! My stepdaughter loved her Mickey Mouse pancakes with a side MOUNTAIN of whipped cream with rainbow sprinkles and a Pirouline Rolled Wafer! My partner wasn't in love with the Diablo sandwich but I didn't taste it. Presentation was fantastic for everything! Customer service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and nice! I am in love with Valley Medlyn's. The kids agreed that this is our new favorite brunch spot! read more

This is an OG in downtown Danville. Vally Medlyn's is your classic American brunch nook, from its checkered plates down to its free coffee refills. I visited with a few friends and immediately understood why it has appealed to the average Danville resident for almost 100 years LOL Being such a tiny spot, the space fills quickly and service gets bogged down. The three of us probably waited 30+ minutes for 3 dishes, and nobody refilled water in the meantime. CALIFORNIA OMELETTE: Comes with your choice of potatoes and toast. Hash browns were bland but crisped well. Omelette was about standard, also one-note but cooked fine. You have to LOVE American food to really love this place. Like, the good ol' days American food. Like... Basic, mild palate American food. It is what it is. read more

Went there to meet a friend for coffee and breakfast. Staff was very friendly very efficient. Coffee was really good. And they made sure that our coffee was filled. Had a nice time there with my friend. Very good potatoes as well with linguiça. read more

A little diner open from 8am-1pm, Tue-Sun. The gf and I (along with our pooch) have been wanting to check it out for a long while. Finally. Well, to be honest, the whole experience was lackluster. From the seemingly hap-hazard approach to taking our name down, to communication with us and with each other, waiting a long while (once seated) for our menus, and ordering, and we ordered a coffee and didn't get it for 20 mins after our food came. The food itself was decent and fair price, but the service is a failure. read more

Still, a great breakfast place! They will always try to get your order exactly the way you want. Regarding the bad review of the "Latina" waitress...really?? Have you ever waited tables on a busy day when it's hot? She's amazing, always hustling. In fact, the reason we come weekly is because of all of staff. Well done guys read more

Fantastic old school breakfast diner with great service and rib stickin food. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with two scrambled eggs. It was awesome. Classic American diner faire with an old time Danville flair. Located right downtown with plenty of street parking at 8:00am. Love this place! The kinda place where you're very likely to be sitting next to 3 Danville cops, the mayor and the the local barber all enjoying their meal, the local hospitality and warm atmosphere of Danville RFD. As Arnold says: "I'll be back" read more

I hate to even leave a review because I don't want this place to get any busier! Great service ! Great food! We come here once a week and I finally tried the cinnamon roll and it's to die for!

This is one of the rare Diner type restaurants in the area. They are very small and it is a challenge to get a seat most weekends. The service is sometimes a little slow but never real bad. I think that they tend to operate on the very edge of being short handed when it's busy. The food is always high quality and tasty. I love their biscuits and gravy. The omelets are good. The pancakes are excellent. The Chinese Chicken Salad is good as well. The portions are large and I have never gotten a bad meal at this place. I definitely recommend it. read more

We went to Vally Medlyn's for breakfast last week. I ordered the Maui Omelette (ham, onions, bell peppers and pineapples). It was very good and I would consider ordering it again. The only thing I would change is the thickness of the egg. It was in almost like a crepe. I want the egg part of the omelette to be thicker. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict. She thought it was pretty tasty. They also told us that they can accommodate for my son's allergy to tree nuts and peanuts by cooking his food separately from other foods. We appreciate that. We'll return someday. Overall grade: B+ read more

Never had a bad meal and we have been enjoying breakfast there for decades ! Friendly staff and great food. Their sausage is outstanding.

What a hidden gem in downtown Danville! I would've never thought of coming here if it wasn't because of my friend given the fact that the restaurant looks really outdated and the food pictures look mediocre (sorry!). It definitely exceeded my expectations. I got the French toast special. It came with 2 eggs and your choice of meat, but I opted for fruits. Everything tasted great; the French toast was very buttery and delicious. I also tried my friend's omelette and hash and both were good too! I agree with some of the Yelpers, the service wasn't that great. I think they're understaffed so it takes forever to get something from them. read more

I've been going there for years. Unfortunately we moved away, but I go to great lengths to return when back in the area. All of the menu has been fine tuned. YUM. Clean,casual and fair prices. Owner on-site chatting, expediting maybe manning the stove if needed. Breakfasts and lunches varied menu sure to please nearly everyone. read more

Great local spot for breakfast. They have indoor and outdoor seating with heat lamps. The food and service is always solid

We love Vally Medlyn's! This is the only place where we eat breakfast in Danville. Delicious food, great coffee and friendly service. Aaron or Erin (spelling) is the best. He always greets us with a warm smile on his face and takes time to check in with us. Kids get treated with a coloring book, stickers or a brand new hot wheel! How cool is that? We always leave a little happier :) read more

The food was great I had the veggie omelette and a stack of pancakes with strawberries and coffee. The strawberries probably needed a better wash but it did not affect the quality of food. The service was great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

My daughter took me here for breakfast last week; food was excellent! However, at one point the waitress walked around to every table topping off people's coffee, completely ignoring our table. I had to flag her down, as she didn't even look in our direction. In addition, she never once asked if we were okay, if we needed anything, etc. Not once. I sincerely hope this wasn't a race issue, but being the only Black people in the restaurant made both of us wonder... read more

We were looking for an early breakfast and discovered that there were no places open before 9:00am on a week day. We drove a bit further and discovered this little place. There are a few booths and tables inside with even more outside. There appeared to be only one waitress working, but 4 or 5 workers inside. Even so, service was a bit slow. I ordered Grandma's coffee cake and a fruit bowl but ended up with an English muffin because they ran out of coffee cake. Sis had an enormous plate-sized waffle loaded with whipped cream and pecans. Hers looked so much more delicious than mine. She was sure it was. The fruit bowl was fairly standard with blueberries, strawberries, and bananas. We enjoyed our breakfast but the waffle beat the English muffin and fruit hands down, read more

Classic diner here in Danville! It's pretty cramped inside and was very busy. We both ordered the french toast special, and it took around 20 minutes for the food to arrive. Portion size is great, we were stuffed by the end of it! Bread felt fresh and was very fluffy, perfectly done french toast. The eggs were a bit too oily for my liking. We ordered coffee as well, and were pleasantly surprised to find out there were free refills. read more

Tiny spot but mighty. You always get a good quality, filling breakfast here. Nice staff too.

Great place for a solid breakfast with huge portions. We arrived around 10:30am on a Thursday morning and had the outside patio to ourselves. BLT, Traditional 2 egg breakfast with bacon, Strawberry Pancakes & Huevos Rancheros filled the table as well as our stomachs! It's a 5 star if they bump the service up a bit. It was almost as they didn't remember that we were outside - We will be back! read more

We love Vally Medlyns. It's become a special place for my daughter and me to grab breakfast. She got an amazing hot chocolate with peppermint whipped cream and we shared their Sherri Scramble. They're kind and quick service. Love the quaint local ambiance. read more

A sweet little brunch spot in downtown Danville! Came with a friend and had to wait a little bit to get a table for two on a Wednesday morning around 10am (though likely lots of people were off/home for the holidays). They kept good track of those waiting and we were lucky enough to snag a cozy booth. Drinks were sweet and delicious - I got a hot chocolate and my friend a latte and both came with a little chocolate tuile cookie :) I got the Medlyn scramble (recommended over the Greek omelette by the waiter) and it was so good! Definitely not for those on a diet with globs of cream cheese, well seasoned with plenty of hashbrowns and buttered toast. My friend has been here many times and loves the French toast special. She's vegetarian and they gave her a big bowl of fruit instead of meat! A classic friendly brunch spot with unique specials and homey feel - a great location and nice place to frequent! read more

So this has been a breakfast spot gem in Danville since I grow up here that almost 40 years now. The place is small so if you coming with a big party like 4 or more be prepared to wait a little. But if yourself or a party of 2 you can just slide into the counter spots. There only about 6 chair counter spots too. So be ready to be friendly with you neighbor. I never been disappointed with my breakfast here. There only 2 reasons not getting 5 stars here for breakfast that only open til 1pm all week long. The price of the food but remember we are in Danville. Another is the parking. There a couple street spots in front but if you can't you can park your car over behind the clock tower which is on railroad ave. read more
