I have no idea why I've not visited this place before now as I grew up in the area, my father had an office nearby, but we never ate here. And that was a very foolish misstep as Valley Lodge was really, really good. We were a party of six and thankfully had a reservation for a Sunday evening. It was early, 5:30pm, and we felt that we were eating with all the old biddies at that hour, but lo and behold, they weren't all old biddies. People of all ages and families were there and the bar on the slightly upper level was packed. Though, it's a small bar, but nonetheless, it was packed. It was packed when we arrived at 5:30pm and it was packed when we left at 8:30pm. The tables were pretty close together, but not overly so. It was all old wood paneling but felt updated. Think and updated ski lodge for reference. There was a fire in the fireplace which kept the room warm and cozy. We got your basic drinks, Diet Coke, iced tea and waters all around. They brought Italian bread and special Irish soda bread as it was St. Patrick's Day. The bread (I had the Irish soda bread) was delicious. Kudos to them if they made their own. We ordered a starter of the truffle fries. They were skinny fries with a little cheese and truffle oil and a side of a mustard alioli, which was pretty good. Three people ordered their cheeseburger salads. It's basically a salad with a cheeseburger on in. One of the three got a turkey burger in the salad. It's what you think...a cheeseburger (sans bun) on top of a salad. I think it came with a mustard vinaigrette, but you can get whatever dressing you like. All three said it was very good and the server said it's a best seller. The salads were pretty big and the vegetables looked crisp and fresh. Two of the people in our party got the Saganaki Burger. It's their basic burger with saganaki cheese in a pita. They definitely lit the cheese up in the kitchen and then put it out and served it in the pita. I got their Wagyu Burger from Australia. It was really good. I got mine with American cheese and cooked medium, It was perfectly cooked and I rounded it out with dark rye for the bun. I asked for mustard, but the flavor of the meat mixed with the American cheese, crisp lettuce and dark rye made the burger perfect without the condiment. The burgers (not salads) come with a side of fries, chips, and something else, but I forget. I got the fries thinking they were the frites from the starter menu and they weren't. They were typical fries. They were okay. but if you're coming here, it ain't for the side of fries, it's for the succulent burgers. There are many different options for burgers on their menu plus a myriad of other options that also looked quite tasty as evidenced by the orders brought to other tables. This is a must try at least once, but I bet you'll like it so much that you'll definitely be back and be back sooner rather than later. I know I'll be back soon.

The restaurant and restrooms are clean. The food was prepared to our liking, fresh and delicious! Waiter...ours clearly wanted or needed to leave, something was off. It's was 1:40 p.m.Updating review based upon a timely and appropriate request for additional information by management. Verifies - Valley Lodge Restaurant cares about its customers and employees. Therefore, as we suspected during service, our server was simply having a tough moment. We shall return and begin recommending The lodge! Thanks.
If there were more stars, we would give them more. Delicious. Great atmosphere and service. The gyro app is wonderful!

I really liked the atmosphere I felt very at home and the food was on a finer level. One waitress stood out as excellent the name was Bri. It was her enthusiasm for accepting the finer points of conversation and introducing positive service which made the experience whole and superior to what I’ve seen in that downtown area.
