Saganaki burger. What a concept! All the food tasted great, including the salad (it's not that easy to make an above average salad). It also has a really warm, festival vibe to it which was really nice. The negroni was a little too sweet though.

Always a great place to grab a bite or have a drink. All good! The menu offers a variety of food that will appeal to everyone and the bartender Warren is just like Cheers.
VL is one of our favorite spots! The staff is attentive and professional. The restrooms are clean. You won’t be disappointed.

I have been ordering from Valley Lodge since Covid started. Always pleased. I especially loved the chopped salad. The vinaigrette is delicious. I am disappointed that they no longer offer the salmon as an add on. Been ordering the 1/2 slab ribs and have been satisfied. The last two times I ordered the ribs I was very disappointed. They were cold and dry and overcooked. Don’t know if I will order from them again😩

This is the place to go if you want the feeling of being in a good old Wisconsin super club, or just some of the best food in the area! If they would only offer a garnish tray, family style dining, and a small steam outside... Everything on the expansive menu is top notch! Our goto place with guests! Very reasonable.

Dine in or eat out... they have passed my pandemic test... does their take out food travel well?? YES!!! Great atmosphere inside and great food either at home or at the VL! Not sure handicapped accessible would be my only less than amazing comment.

Food was excellent. Service was great. Very attentive. Outside patio seating was quick to get & service was great. I ordered the pork chops, Greek style & they were awesome.

Terrible terrible experience. How can you have a restaurant and not be ADA compliant in 2022? Parked in handicapped spot but my wheelchair will not be able to go up the six steps in the front of the restaurant . Went around the entire building and there is no way to enter the building. I really don’t think there’s such a thing as being grandfathered into the ADA compliance. Shame on you. I guess I’ll come back and take photos. Not happy.

Went here with my mother. Chicken was remarkably bland, almost no taste; the salad was great (although why you'd spend $6 on that few shrimps???); the drinks were superb and the cheesecake was really good. A little on the expensive side but we did get some decent service with okay food.
Strike one: the maitre d' wore tatty and torn jeans, with kind of a gross sweater; my mother commented on it very strongly, saying that if she wore those kinds of jeans at her job she'd be immediately fired (considering she wears jeans at her job anyway).
Strike two: the chicken was, like I said, bland and almost tasteless. It was crunchy and the chicken itself was moist but it had almost no flavor to it.
Strike three: it was incredibly loud in there. Admittedly we didn't know it was Thursday Night Football but it was just...way too loud.
In summary: Don't know if I'd go back for the fried chicken, would probably go back for the salad (minus shrimp, which added nothing) and the drinks. 4/5 stars because the service was great.
