We just moved nearby and it's our second time visiting Vally Medlyn's. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and food never disappoints. I got the French toast both times and it was so nice and fluffy. This place is officially on our rotation.

Great location and service. Lots of good menu choices. I could eat there and hang out every morning. It feels like home but with someone else cooking. If you haven't tried it, get over there today. This review is by Rex Crandell, CPA, Attorney of Walnut Creek.

Really good food. Their hash browns are my dream; really crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Indoor and outdoor dining. They serve beer. My kind of place.

I was on an early morning bike ride and decided to stop and take bike photos. I decided may as well fuel up for my adventure. I ordered the banana and pecan pancake. Chile, let me tell you.."Best pancake, breakfast I had in my stay in San Ramon "! My plate arrived and was I surprised. The bananas and pecans and whip cream was artistically placed on my pancake. The eggs were fluffy and the sausage links had that crisp skin thing going on! "Oohhhh, I felt it right there"... A True Masterpiece! It was cooked perfectly. Reminded of Mama's Saturday morning breakfasts! I sat outside and enjoyed the cyclists riding by and dog walkers. Do yourself a favor and visit Valley Medlyn's!

Small, cozy breakfast/lunch place. Vally Medlyn's has been around for years in downtown Danville. Good size tasty portions at reasonable prices. Family and dog friendly. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Chicken & Waffle is more like a fancy deep fried chicken finger(s) than a couple of pieces of chicken sprinkled with powdered sugar, which actually made the freshly deep fried chicken fingers taste even better. Waffle is light and airy. Bacon is thick sliced. Vally Medlyn's has high chairs and booster chairs. In the Unisex restroom, there is a diaper changing table. Crayons and kids menu (gender specific coloring sheets)are provided to keep your kiddos to keep them entertained 9/22/17 Update: Had breakfast outside and dog watched for entertainment. Vally Medlyn's is dog-friendly. They have a jar of giant size dog biscuits by their entrance and a water bowl. Enjoyed eating the pancake special - 4 good sized super fluffy, light pancakes, scrambled eggs, and thick crispy apple-smoked bacon and the chunky Meat Lovers Omelet.

By far the best restaurant experience I have had in a long time! Our waitress was so amazing. Kristina knew exactly what we wanted and made sure my son (who is 5) and I were well taken care of. My son enjoyed a hot chocolate with lots of whip cream and rainbow sprinkles And I enjoyed the eggs Benedict. I brought my own gluten-free English muffins, and the restaurant was so kind to prepare my meal with them. It was so delicious! This restaurant also gave my son coloring crayons and a cute Halloween themed menu that he colored throughout the meal and they also gave him some brand new hot wheels that he absolutely loved. This restaurant is a 10 out of 10.
