Valhalla Restaurant

Killer breakfast/brunch! I've been here each time I've visited Visalia and I adore it. I've had the avocado toast, Greek omelette, and pancake balls (Aebleskiver).Here's what worked:-- really friendly and kind staff-- quick service -- cute gift shop that you can browse through while you wait for a table-- amazing prices!! Coming from the Bay Area, the prices here are incredible. Freshly squeezed orange juice was under $4 which is unheard of in many California breakfast spots-- Aebleskivers were tasty (but really dense and filling!)-- great variety on the menu, both for veggie and non veggie eaters-- right next to the rest of downtown so there's plenty of shopping and walking you can do nearbyWhat didn't work:-- they close early in the day, so no breakfast for dinner!-- the gift shop has some weirdly conservative cards and items. Not a huge deal but a little odd-- there is a wait to get a table but it usually isn't too bad!

We popped in here for breakfast, greeted with an IMMEDIATE, WARM & FRIENDLY welcome! The atmosphere was charged with 'kindness' that you could feel! The service was fast, accommodating, and they switched-out a sausage (for hashbrowns) on my Danish Breakfast plate. With a smile too! :)Ahhh . . . the Danish pancake. . . smeared with butter and red raspberry jam. Delicious. I want one right now.Theirs are thin with some 'zing' from either buttermilk or sour cream, possibly. They have been in business for 40 years and now you know WHY!

We came to visit from Las Vegas for our anniversary looking for something different for breakfast. We ran into this spot near our hotel and walked towards the place. Dowtown is accessible and fully lit even after the sun goes down so take a stroll if you can. What a quaint restaurant with tasty dishes. Try the pancakes bites and the original thin pancake, they're both so good. The chicken in waffles was outstanding, not my go to but my husband is a big fanatic, it was so good I still took a few bites. The gift shop has a varied selection of cute gifts and knick knacks, take the time to stop by while you wait to be seated. The staff here is used to a busy floor so their service is fast and efficient without forgetting the friendliness.

This is a classic breakfast diner. We went in a Saturday morning and it was busy, but they seated us quickly. The servers were attentive but also moving very fast, so this might not be the place for a long leisurely breakfast. It's a cute, quaint little restaurant with the perfect diner vibe. I had the Viking combo with over easy eggs, bacon, and danish pancakes, which I paid extra to add whipped cream and strawberries to. My husband also had the Viking combo, but with regular pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sausage. The Viking combo is plenty of food for the price. I had hot tea, but they only had caffeine-free green tea available, so I ended up getting an iced tea as well because I needed my caffeine. My husband had a coffee, and they offer plenty of refills.

This place is amazing! It's inside a little shop and there is plenty of seating. My family decided to try something new today and we found this spot. It's very cozy and homey feeling and the staff is great. We had orange juice which tasted like fresh orange juice, I'm not sure if it is. The food came quick and it was delicious. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the waffle was crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. Everything was cooked well and very flavorful. I am so excited to have found this spot, we will be coming regularly.

If it's your first time walking in you might be a little confused by the cutest gift shop in downtown Visalia. It's stocked with the cutest things and the hostess is so kind. She always has a smile on her face. I had the Chorizo Skillet which is a Fall/Winter special. It was very delicious and full of flavor. My granddaughter had the kids French Toast meal. It was a nice quiet morning and the server was amazing! Definitely a MUST TRY when in Visalia!! Parking sometimes can be a little hard to find sometimes especially on a Saturday.

We brunched here for the first time a couple days ago and I'm so glad we tried this Danish gem! This place has a store AND restaurant. The kid in the front desk was extremely nice and personable. He says the place has been family owned for 40+ years and is something to experience while you're in town.We browsed around their store first and they had cute stuff. From kitchen attire to baby toys, there's something here for everyone. Prices of the items are a bit pricey, but that's okay cuz some items are truly unique!Once we were called into the dining area, we skimmed the menu. We ordered the happy face pancakes for my 3 year old, the danish sampler, and the Greek Goddess along with an orange juice and coffee.While waiting, the waiter came in with a bag of toys for my daughter to pick out from (wow). The wait was probably 15 minutes. The place was busy! Finally the food came and omg! They were all delicious ! My daughter enjoyed her happy face pancakes because it was so cute ! Pancakes were also fluffy just the way she likes them! And the orange juice is YUMMMMY because it is all natural FRESH SQUEEZED. The Danish sampler came with a pancake, their homemade danish sausage, a pancake rolled into a ball, and 2 eggs for $11.99 (as of 5/2024).If you're in town and want to try Danish yummy food, don't forget to stop by this place! It's totally worth a try !

What can I say that hadn't been said? Breakfast staple in Visalia for many years. Consistent food and service. Only wish they were open longer and would love to stop in after church for brunch but alas they are not open on Sundays.

This has been on our bucket list for years to come by and visit; finally the day came and it met our expectations and then some. This place is wonderful and a great alternative to the Denny's or IHOPS's of town; a gem in downtown Visalia. Immediately on entry you are greeted by a quaint little store, great for gifts, afterwards you are taken to the dining area. The dining area can easily accommodate small to medium sized groups; they serve delicious Peet's Coffee, and have dozens of pastries that appear to be made in-house. We enjoyed the atmosphere, great selection of food options, a nice fall menu selection with some pumpkin themed foods. We will make it a point to come back again, we love supporting local businesses where possible. Please make this your next stop while in downtown! You won't be disappointed!

FINALLY made it to Valhalla for breakfast. Haven't been in Visalia that long and browsed Yelp! for places I'd like to try and Valhalla was on the list. Great family owned place (40+years!)We met the owner Kim (she bussed our table!)Very nice person. At our servers recommendation I had the Banana Foster French Toast which came with two eggs and bacon or sausage (or both) I expected the French toast to be "My teeth ache" sweet, but no! I really enjoyed the dish. Not overly sweet as expected. My sweetie had an ABC omelet with red potatoes and bell peppers . The house Peet's coffee was great also. If you haven't tried Valhalla you're missing a great local institution . I can't wait to go back!
