We've gone to Valley Inn a couple of times and our recent server, Keeli was amazing! She was great about checking on us and was especially sweet to our rowdy toddler! We love the burgers and love sitting on the patio! Thanks for the great service and food!

This summer a friend of mine and I went into the valley in for lunch. The bartenders looked at us as we sat down at the bar and then ignored us for 10 minutes while they talked on their cellphones and we finally left. The Customer next to us asked the bartender if they were plucking the chicken for his chicken salad.We vowed to never come back. However some good friends of mine were there tonight so we went in there for drinks. once again no service. The bartender actually watched us go to the table and sit down and after 10 minutes I went behind the bar and politely asked the bartender to wait on us and he thought we were just there to sit. I asked him why would he not at least come over and ask us if we wanted something and he had no response. He was completely rude to us and We will never go back. This place does not even rate one star. Someone needs to manage the employees.

We stopped for a mid-afternoon cocktail and spied the Friday Night Prime Rib Special brightly advertised ever so boldly on the wall. I immediately planned a return trip for dinner despite thinking a rather odd Special for a Friday. Maybe a fish fry ...certainly not Prime Rib. So, as it turns out the Prime Rib set before my eyes was the complete opposite of my expectation of a tender, tasty succulent slab of meat. Bottom line...a razor thin slice of the nastiest seasoned, tough, disgustingly tasting piece of some fricken crap portrayed as "Meat."... absolutely the worst Prime Rib experience..."Ever". Did I mention that the Valley Inn picked my pocket for $24.99 for a Prime Rib Illusion? But I learned a valuable lesson to always go with your gut and never order a Prime Rib Special on a Friday Night! The Valley Inn breaks into the top 10 list for the "Crappiest Meal I have Ever Tasted"! I can only imagine what the Saturday Night Special might be...or not be!

Apparently this place used to be a real pit. I never even knew it existed. Now it's been redone, and I have to say it does look pretty nice. There are TV's everywhere, so you can watch a game and drink some beers. And speaking of beers, they have plenty on tap! If whisky is your thing, they have a lot to choose from there too. I wasn't that impressed with their menu - there wasn't a whole lot to choose from. I ended up ordering the Cuban. It was probably the most Americanized Cuban I have ever had. The meat seemed like it was out of a package, and it ended up getting soggy towards the end. It wasn't horrible, but I probably wouldn't order it again. I also ordered the sweet potato fries as my side. I didn't get that many, and they were really greasy. Our waitress was very nice, but we had to flag her down a few times. I would come back to sit and watch a game and have some beers, but not to eat lunch or dinner.

We had dinner here on Saturday night. The atmosphere was great. The food and service was amazing. Great selection of beers and cocktails. Great place to go with friends and watch a game.

Couple minutes off freeway. But worth it. Solid beer menu. Real food. Super nice staff. Cool indoors. If ur lame, go to Applebee's or Cracker Barrel and stay away. If ur cool, we'll see u here!

We love the valley inn! It has become our new favorite local bar and eatery. Everytime we have been in the staff has been friendly and the food has been served hot and fresh. It has been good for us to go as a family or for my wife and I to sit out on the deck and have a cocktail on date night. I particularly recommend the Cuban sandwich and if you're in the mood for a gut bomb, the horseshoe. Great selection of beers on tap and I love the fact that they serve Lagunitas!

We have been here several times, all for dinner. A variety of dishes have all been average to above average. The ambiance is casual but classy. The burgers are above average. The fries and beer cheese sauce are both great! They have a nice beer list, but wines are nothing to write home about. Clean bathrooms round out a nice dinner out without driving across town.

Excellent food! I don't even like steak fries, and these were fantastic! High quality of ingredients. Great burger great chicken sandwich and a nice server. No idea how this place only has 3 stars. Worth the few minute drive off the highway to get something way better than drive thru.

Just stopped in for a drink and an appetizer. One of the best bloody marys in the area. Ordered chicken club quesadillas and they were fabulous. Service was excellent. Didn't have to wait for drinks or food. Definitely need to go back more often!!!

My husband and I have tried dinner here a couple times - the food has been good but what keeps from being regulars or thinking of going there w/friends is the service. Last night they never came to check to see if our food was good or needed anything else - we needed to flag her down for my bbq sauce for our Texan burgers. Never checked on our drinks, etc. We've gone to this place 4x and 3 out of those times it has been poor service. One couple waited so long to be waited on that they finally walked out and I don't think the wait staff even noticed and it wasn't even busy! The menu could use a bit more creativity. The atmosphere is really nice and could be relaxing if there was good service.

Good effort. The place is nicely done inside and has a great patio that overlooks River Road along the Mississippi River a few miles south of I-80 bridge. If you are coming from the interstate take the first or last exit in Iowa depending if you are traveling west or east, respectively, on I-80. If you are on a Harley ride down the river road it would a good place to stop for a break. The food is elevated bar food. They have really good salads. The Mahi Mahi salad is one of their top sellers for good reason. It has lots of TV's to catch many games. We would stop again.

Very nice! It was busy tonight (Friday) and we sat outside- our service was fine. Our appetizers (pretzels) were good, it didn't taste like the typical frozen ones. They were lighter and more fluffy.. My boyfriend had a ale house burger and I had catfish- both good dinners and reasonably priced. The beer list was the only thing I could see improving- - for an "ale house" it would be nice to see a more diverse and unique selection- but we are in pleasant valley so I'm sure the typical domestics sell better. We will be back.

Great ambience. Like the music and decor. Very clean. Really enjoyed the avocado salad and white chili. Service was slow. Server was very apologetic . We arrived right after the lunch rush. Restaurant was a bit cold, would have enjoyed lunch more if it had been warmer. Would have given a 2.5 but server friendliness pushed the toss up to a 3.

This ain't your father's Valley Inn. Gone the unlevel wooden floor. Gone the tripping hazard transition from the bar to the hastily added dining area. They took their sweet time rebuilding this place, and they did a great job. Dark wood, outside patio, and multiple flat screens are some of the improvements. So what? You just put a pretty dress on a pig. Wrong. The food has drastically changed. The menu is unique featuring deep fried bacon BLT, waffle fry nachos, bacon bbq ranch pizza, and more. But surprise, it's good too. Not the best bar food, but I'd give it a 7 out of 10. Beer selection also has changed. About 10 beers on tap, and only a couple are normal domestics. This place has changed, and for the better. I do miss the dive version, but that is really easy to recreate. Just go down to the nearby farm fields, roll around a while, and drink a Bud Light. I hope this place keeps the great beer selection and unique menu, and don't slack off the longer its open.

Well, we are here and the service is very slow. The place is not packed, it is completely manageable for 2-3 wait staff members. The menu is only burgers, no steaks. We got here at 6:10pm and we have been waiting for our burgers for 45 min. We have plans for 7:30pm. We have not been checked on for drink refills or anything. When we first sat down we waited to even be acknowledged as well. Keep in mind...they are only at 1/3 capacity. We inquired about our meals to 2 different waitresses because the initial waitress didn't want to come over to our table?? We were told the owner would be told to come over and talk to us. That didn't happen. After finally being asked if we wanted more drinks we were told our meals would be out AFTER an order for a table that ordered after we did. Another 10 minutes later they finally came. The burgers were cool, the sides of coleslaw and pasta salad were warm and the mushroom "sauce" on the burgandy and swiss was a whole can of mushroom gravy. You couldn't even see the meat. We requested to speak to the owner again. We finally were able to voice our concerns to the general manager because the owner was not on site. He was very understanding and apologetic. He did make things right with us. I would not recommend this place right now. Looks are decieving. Once the manager can get reliable wait staff and better food service the place might have a shot.

WILL NEVER GO BACK. This could possibly be a great place but I will never know due to the terrible service we got. We went in to watch a particular football game while we ate lunch. Our server greeted us with something disgusting all over her mouth and was very rude. We asked if they had said game and she replied with, (VERY RUDELY I MIGHT ADD) "I don't know what channel is it on?" and proceeded with, "well you're going to have to figure out what channel it's on." When we finally suggested that she just look at the guide since we are from out of town and had no idea what channel the game would be on, she stormed off. I've been a server for 7 years and have never seen anything like this in my life. It literally seemed as though this simple question made her mad. Due to this one server I will never go back and highly suggest to anyone considering going that they refrain from going as well.

What a difference 40 years makes! Nice atmosphere, really good bar food, and lots of beer choices. Growing up around here, we never had to look very far for a good burger and a cold beer. Lots of "bar and grill" type places. Now, nothing but chains pedaling junk food on china. The Valley Inn Ale House has restored my faith in humanity and has provided a haven in the neon landscape. I'd like to keep it a secret so it doesn't get overrun but give it a try. You will love it.

Really good food (except the pizzas) and great atmosphere. The beers were a little pricy at first but someone said they dropped the prices on them. They were $6.50 for a tall one...Growing up in a bigger city I never paid over $5.00 for a tall micro-brew but anyway...they give a lot of attention to the cleanliness of this place as well and the bathrooms are amazing! I would skip the flat-bread pizzas as they are on soggy flat bread...toppings were great but they need to do something else with that crust! Burgers and smothered chicken sandwiches are out of the park!
