We’ve always been treated well at the Valley Restaurant. When splitting a meal, they brought us an extra plate without us asking for it. The meal came with soup, and they brought us two soups. And the food was delicious.

Food was very tasty, had the chicken teriyaki with white rice and a salad. The portion was generous. I had to pack half of it for later and it tasted good even after reheating. This is a small family restaurant, it was clean, service was quick, staff was pleasant and price was reasonable.

I would consider this place a type of dive restaurant, and by no means is that a bad thing. The food was fantastic and the service was great. The server was chatting with a couple of locals, and they all had me laughing and smiling. Good people, good food. What more do you need.

We were in Juneau on a cruise and my friend searched for a place for lunch and we found the Valley. Definitely worth the drive. Nice place for lunch with large portions. The club sandwich was tasty. My friend had the teriyaki chicken.

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.

So they changed the $16 hamburger and now serve it up with a 8th of inch pattie. Than I look on menu, if you want 1/4 pounder add $4,,,wow, your magic idea made me dissappear,,,you Won’t see me or our very large family there again, it’s just another old dump. Ps. You over cook your fried chicken to the point it’s dry and hard to eat. Bye bye

Dry bacon, cold ham, and they didn’t even toast my bread. My cat wouldn’t even eat the food. My change was 8 dollars and the lady took her own tip and gave me three dollars. If your looking for a good place for breakfast nearby donnas has amazing breakfast and polite staff so don’t waste your money coming here it’s not worth it. I’m actually so grossed out by the food I was given.

I had the fried chicken, and I couldn’t get it off my mind. I’m here for the second time, and it’s even BETTER!! The kind and funny matriarch knows what she’s doing and it’s at a fair price. This is where I get my fried chicken fix. Picture only shows the breast, I ate the wing and thigh. I upgraded for fried rice for the side. Unconventional and delicious.

Traditional diner look and feel in every way. I get the loco moco with extra gravy. You can’t go wrong with that.
