Val's Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Val's is our favorite restaurant. There's nothing like it in central Massachusetts. Amazing food, quiet atmosphere, and a table side visit from Val. The staff is exceptional, with friendly, professional service. We come here every Sunday, it's our go to place for lunch or dinner. Come say "hi" to Val. You'll love Val and her restaurant.
This was a wonderful find! Good was delicious ! All cooked perfectly. I got baked haddock casserole and my sister had baked stuffed shrimp. Delicious!!
Excellent portion and prices! Food was great! Would definitely return. Staff was friendly.
Our group (21 diners) held a Christmas dinner there. Comfortable and open round table seating in the back hall (didn't realize it was that big a place). We all ordered off the menu. We arrange for a fruit and cheese table (extra $7.00 pp) which was well stocked and happily received. Drinks are paid separately with the server from the dinner check in the group rooms, so that's OK with me. Almost any dinner is great, I started with mussels as an appetizer, and then their seafood casserole. After the bowl of mussels, I managed only half the casserole, and it made a great take-home for lunch the next day. My wife had their marinated Half-roast chicken, and the same - enough for take-home, too. Excellent strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Vals has been around for a while, and with meal prep like we had, I can see why. They are priced a bit higher than your normal local haunt, but it's money well spent. Very satisfied, and I would bo there again.
Amazing dinner ... Chicken Parm with Pasta ! The Dessert .. Grape Nut Pudding ...The service was great ! Definitely a return visit will be happening soon !
Great, warm environment. Went on a Sunday during lunch, where we were promptly seated. Servers are friendly. Food is very reasonably priced and the portions are huge! House salad dressing is delicious. Food I would say is on the less salty side, which is a good thing for us. Everyone went home with leftovers. Would definitely come back again!
The food here is always amazing! Never had a bad thing. We ordered food to-go there this weekend and there was a little mix up with our order. They very quickly remedied the situation, got our food ready as soon as possible and comped our meal without us having to raise a stink. Great food and great customer service. Mistakes happen, but they are accountable and were quick to ensure we were taken care of.
Val's took care of my daughter's baptism. We had a great celebration. Great food. Their private dining room was able to accomodate 45 guests. Thank you so much, Val's!
