    The experience was great until the power went out. I just thought that for an establishment like that there should have been a back generator in placed to keep the place energized during a power outage. It was my only disappointment. We were practically sitting in the dark for a while until we decided to leave.

    Food was delicious but portion was unacceptably tiny. Ordered a new addition to the menu - shrimp kabob dinner - and while yummy, it came with 3 shrimp which is absurd from a portion standpoint. Nice service as per ususal.

Loaded with crab meat. Tasty. Seasoned. Nice Oyster type crackers. Easy lunch time meal item. Parking Lot - asphalt seam gaps and missing surface materials appear to generating potential trip and/or fall hazards. Depth and width issues have surfaced.

    Front of the House - Off the chart. Patty and Rodney - recognizing my birthday with a Patty - custom made card (one of kind) signed by the Fab 3 - priceless. The plant was a very much appreciated gift - surprise - and a true kindness from wonderful people. Wait Staff - Stephanie - super helpful and attentive. Always enjoyable. Meal - short rib plain with broccoli. Wonderful low carb meal. A special treat. Filling lunch menu item. Management - working the rooms. Interactive with guests - wonderful to see the consistency. High energy level. Guests were interactive.

    The Valley Inn was absolutely first class today. They fixed the smash burger and it is now again the best burger in town. Gumbo was spot on! Everything was perfect for the five of us! The new sports bar is incredible. Has to be seen. The Valley Inn is open for business!!!

    Madison was our server and she did a fantastic job! She was personable, professional, and helpful. We didn't want for anything. The food, of course, was fabulous! I definitely think they kicked things up a notch in the kitchen. The Atlas Salt oysters were divine; the calamari was fresh and fired perfectly; couldn't ask for more! (well...maybe some brunch specials...)

    We go to the Valley Inn at least once a month and also get carry out, but this time our service was poor, and the food was not up to par. This means that one of our party of 3 received his appetizer fairly quickly but we had to track down our server for 10 minutes to request our remaining 2 appetizers be delivered, and when they arrived, they were cold. Our entrees were cold as well. And, one of our cocktails was not filled to the rim, and it was more than $15.00! We hope this isn't going to be a pattern with the Valley Inn because we have been so pleased since Atlas took over. We will continue to recommend it to friends but this particular meal was disappointing.

    This was my bday dinner and I was very disappointed! First we walked in and it was extremely hot, I asked to turn down the heat bc people were physically sweating! Our table felt like it was in the middle of the floor and it was extremely loud. They packed the tables in tight! Our appetizers were not put in and then incorrectly came out so late AFTER we were done our meal. I asked for medium well for my 8oz. filet - it came out crisp, dry and over cooked. The “charred” broccoli was still super hard and basically raw. They comp’d the apps bc it was their fault they said but when I complained about the steak nothing happened. A guy came over to our table and said Hi ladies can I get you some dessert. I said so do u work here or are you a guest? (He did not introduce himself and seemed annoyed that a customer was not happy!) I said well it’s not going to fix my botched $60 steak meal but ok I’ll take a cheesecake. Why would I want dessert when I paid $60 for a terrible steak meal that I was looking forward to?! I will not be returning. Do better!

    What a great experience dining at The Valley Inn! We were there for celebrating Veteran's Day for my retired Commander Navy Seal husband. The hostess was very welcoming and seated us immediately. Our server, Anna, was extremely efficient and one of the happiest people taking our order and very knowledgeable of the drinks and food This was at the spur of the moment decision to visit and it really made our day! We will return shortly, thank Atlas Group

    I’ve been really happy with our past two visits but not so much tonight. Waiter was fine but not very engaging, food took a bit of time. I ordered the potato skins and French onion soup. Soup was ok, I’ve had better. Broth could have been more savory yet had a slight acidic flavor. Potato skins were yummy, and everyone else in our party seemed to enjoy their meal.

Engaging. A breath of fresh air. Always brings her “A” game to the service. Meal - Side Caesar salad - shrimp salad on a bed of tomato and lettuce. Filling and tasty. Renovations are complete. Bar areas - spectacular!! Inviting. High top tables - 2 and 4 tables. Worth the visit and new experience.

    I booked a table for my wife and I for our second year anniversary. When arriving the place was very packed, understandably due to a large group coming in. The hostess was clearly overwhelmed and the books were a mess. We were seated in the bar which would have been well tolerated with the exception of the tables being incredibly small and people just hanging over tables laughing and cackling. I went to ask for a manager and explained why we were expecting a little better. We are immediately taken to a table which the dining room is almost empty (why did we have to be seated in the bar?) the server we had clearly had been filled in on whatever version of the story was repeated. His temperament was poor and he was snarky and clearly annoyed that he had to take on these people who were not happy. To be honest we were more than polite to those working with us. After all was said and done we went back to tip the bar tender who at least set up our table before we were moved. The food was great and the manager did cover our glass of whine which was very kind however our server made a point to remind us of that more than once. Overall the food was great, a few employees we great and we would return again… hopefully this does not repeat if we do return. The experience did leave a bad aftertaste, I did expect much more from this restaurant.

    The restaurant was very busy on the outside patio and I was seated in the inside dining room. There were not enough servers to cover that area. The wait times for food and the check were longer than usual and we felt bad for our server who was overextended.

    Great service and good food; the cream of crab soup was amazing, as were the fried green tomatoes. This was overshadowed as we were seated at the WORST table ever. We felt like we were eating in the shoulder of a busy highway; so much so, that as we got up to leave my husband joked that he needed to put his blinker on prior to getting up from the table. We likely would have stayed longer enjoying a drink and dessert had we not felt so uncomfortable at a table that seemed to be just "stuck" in a random location to increase the number of guests. On an already busy night, being seated in a high traffic throughway was a total bummer and ruined the ambience and treat of date night.

    Upon checkin, the male host asked if we had a reservation which we did. He said there was no one listed with our name and was rude and dismissive. When I pulled out my app to show him the reservation he magically found it. We were there to gather to celebrate the life of a dear friend who had just passed away
