Great comfort food & the staff is so kind! Chicken salad sandwich and onion rings are so good! Don’t forget to order a chocolate malt. It reminded me of my grandmas!

Friendly, fast service, great Maid-Rites and terrific atmosphere. Not fancy, just comfortable and welcoming. It’s like a trip to a happier, friendlier time. I go every time I am in Des Moines. Check out Valley Junction while you are there.

Love this place. Especially on hot beef or meatloaf special days. The Maid Rites are perfect too. It’s always busy during lunchtime, so you know it’s good. The specials change summer and winter. Winter are my favorites. Highly recommend!

Love this place so much. I work down the street and stop in almost every Saturday to pick up lunch for me and/or my coworkers. The ladies that work Saturdays are always overly nice and understanding. The service they provide is exactly the service I hope our/(my) customers are met with. And the food is always delicious -their fried pickle fries are heavenly-. I have yet to be disappointed and can’t anticipate being such any time soon.

Kind of rare for a business in 2023 to not take credit/debit cards. Also interesting that orders are written on scraps of paper. Smell like tax evasion to anyone else?

I have been in Valley Junction working remotely lately and needed a change in lunch venues. I have been in Paula’s before and everyone is always so friendly. The decor is simple and gives you the small town diner feel.

This is a wonderful little Cafe. The people were amazing. One word of caution they only take cash. But the wonderful lady let me leave, after eating my lunch, and walk to the bank to the ATM machine. Trusted me to come back and pay. I had the eeg salad sandwich. It was just like mom used to make. Will come back again.
