bring your appetite. not very often does one find a restaurant that serves ahugebreakfast for a reasonable price. breakfast at valerie's is such a place.
we went there on a busy sunday morning. we were on a wait from the moment we walked in the door. the wait wasn't horribly long (i know it grew to be much longer while we were eating). there were plenty of servers and bussers on the floor but things were still a tad on the slow side. if you're in a rush, i'd suggest you go elsewhere.
the food was standard american breakfast fare. i had biscuits and gravy. one reviewer commented the biscuits were too airy. not so. they were good ole biscuits. the sausage gravy was thick and gooey and the sausage, a nice surprise, was actually one very large patty instead of a silver dollar round on each biscuit half. three eggs (over easy, and cooked properly) topped the plate. all that around $9.00. there was plenty to take home and split for two more light breakfasts.
coffee refills were abundant and just as well. it took longer to wait for the check than it did to wait for the table. still, it was worth it in the long run. oh, and it's loud in there. i could hardly hear my family at the table walked away with a headache.
