Went there yesterday for fried clams with my sister. They no longer have them on the menu, my sister spoke to the owner when we arrived and explained our dad use to bring us there when we were kids in the 70’s.
We both live out of state now but anytime we pass through Glenview, we make a special trip for fried clams. The owner was so nice, he had the cook make us some!! We were so excited! They were just as good as we remembered!! It was a wonderful lunch and we will be back!!
Thank you Valley Lodge!!
I love Valley Lodge! The bartenders and staff are so friendly. The food is delicious and well worth the money. It is one of our favorite places to meet our friends!
I've been here twice - last time was eat-in during lunch, today was take-out for dinner. Both experiences were very pleasant. Today, while waiting for my order, I got to experience what a well-oiled machine this place was. All the staff were very polite and one thing I was impressed by was how much they operated as a team. And of course the food is great. I've personally only had the pretzel bites so far, but looking forward to trying other items in the future. My mom definitely enjoyed the Angus sliders.
Great food, reasonable prices. Attentive wait staff and friendly atmosphere
This was a great place. Good food the owner personally made sure things were ok. Our waiter a great fellow. Excellent!
There Saganaki Burger blows every burger I have ever had out of the water. My mouth will be dreaming for months on end for another tsst of the Sweet Potatoe Maple Cheese Cake.
Great family restaurant, cozy, very yummy. A bit pricey but you get quality food.

New valley lodge of wilmette= top notch! Great new menu items, awesome vibe, excellent bar area. As expected-- job well done!! Look forward to many a night there to come!
Awesome dinner had tonight! Great food, great atmosphere and people!
Always cozy by the fire place. Best baked french onion soup south of Wisconsin ;)
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.
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.

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.
