Val's - Laurie

September 2024... The outstanding service remains consistent, accompanied by excellent food. The chef does a fantastic job of accommodating special requests regarding food preferences. Update for 2023: The longstanding tradition of exceptional food and service is still going strong. In 2022, I started a new holiday tradition of having breakfast at Val's when visiting my parents.

I can't praise this place enough! The breakfast was fantastic; I enjoyed the tenderloin covered in gravy, along with two eggs, hash browns, and two biscuits with gravy. I'm a big guy, and it was more food than I could finish. The waitstaff was also fantastic, contributing to an overall excellent dining experience.

Fantastic breakfast place! I ordered the lakeside omelet, and if you're a fan of crab, you definitely need to try it. I really enjoyed it!

PREFACE: server was kind…BUT… Sat down outside to a table that smelled like rancid milk! Lifted up the disgusting menus to find a smelly puddle. Had to ask for napkins so I could wipe the table down myself bc staff didn’t seem too bothered. Then tried to pour cream that was on the table into my coffee but realized it had gone bad! Too scared to touch anything here let alone eat here.

Val's is absolutely amazing! There people, food, and general atmosphere/appearance, are top notch in my book! If you ever get a chance to come visit them here at the lake of the Ozarks, do it!
