Val's

Visiting friends at Lake of the Ozark's, we got a late morning start and were divided on whether to do breakfast or lunch. Problem solved at Val's. We did both. Val's is basically what many would call a greasy spoon diner but it is much, much better. From really good service to excellent food, we enjoyed our breakfast/lunch. My wife had biscuits and gravy with eggs. She loved the flavor of the gravy and said the biscuits were perfect. I opted for the tenderloin sandwich. This piece of meat was almost as big as my plate and was flavorful and tender. (Our friends ordered the same as us with similar comments). Despite being quite busy, service was excellent. Our drinks were never empty either. I likely would have driven past Val's. I'm glad I wasn't driving!

It's a homey style restaurant with a great portion of food and reasonable price. I went there with a group of four around 9am and there was already a short waiting list. But the wait was not that bad, the service was fast as well. I got the Denver omelette and the food was so fresh and it was not overly seasoned. My friends were all so satisfied with their food to start the trip at the lake of the Ozarks. Definitely recommend to stop by this place to kick off the day for the trip.

We have gone here for breakfast a few times this summer and absolutely love it! The service is fantastic and the food is well made. We sat out on the porch the last time and it made for a wonderful little meal out in the morning fog. Great place with great people!

The perfect little small town breakfast stop. Everyone was so welcoming and you could tell that the staff really do enjoy working there. The meal is a tradition breakfast offerings but it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and came quickly despite the constant stream of people in and out. They are a well oiled machine. I will definitely be visiting again and recommend anyone in the area to also check it out!

Enjoy a mid-Missouri breakfast or lunch that you'll be talking about at dinner, Val's is it. Yes, the hash browns are a delight but you can choose grits or oatmeal, instead. I ordered the standard 2 eggs over easy, with country ham snd grits. What I received was the best order of country ham I've eating since Uncle Jess died and had to give it up. Seriously, we were 6 delighted 70 year old men as we wobbled out to our day on the Lake. My advice. Leave your politics at home. Savor the food. The people are genuinely good people, although one of the tables was still loudly concerned about something related to a stolen election. Get over it snd enjoy the eagles on the Missouri bluffs!

The food, service and personable owner and welcoming staff make Val's a special place. My daughter and I were visiting from out of town and stopped for a late breakfast on a Saturday morning. The parking lot was full and now we know why! We will definitely return!

Changed it up and got the Manana Burrito instead of my usual Eggs Benny. It was literally too much to eat. Loaded with eggs, veggies and sausage and topped with cheese and sour cream. The hash browns were the perfect crispy. Amazing how fast the food comes out of this kitchen even when the parking lot is packed.

Val's never disappoints The best breakfast at the Lake.Great waffles.French toast and eggs Benedict. Great service too

Great service and food. Best breakfast in a while! They have an extensive menu and breakfast is available all day. Had a lot of different items at our table and all were excellent. We will be back.

Nice service, friendly waitress, ambience was great with an outdoor screened in eating area. Food was good. We recommend the fried chicken.
