We popped in for dinner, and I ordered the special. Fried fish, stewed tomatoes over rice, black-eyed peas, and fried okra. The food was excellent, and the service was great!

We arrived a few minutes before it opened and the cook said give him a moment, sure enough it opened right at 11 and before you know it was full of regulars. I had the chicken teriyaki bites, my husband had a HUGE burger. Both were delicious. Staff was friendly. Cant wait to go again.

I like to support local restaurants as much as possible, wherever I live, travel, or in this case, work. On my first visit for lunch, I ordered a patty melt for takeout. I was not disappointed: generously sized patty, just enough grilled onion and melty cheese, all served on crispy, lightly grilled rye Texas toast. If I had dined in, I probably would have requested some A-1 or 57 sauce. The ketchup packets back at work did the trick, though. My lunch was good, and I'll be back! Thank you for a great first meal!

It’s great to not only have an excellent meal every time you go to valley cafe. It’s the only place in this town that cares about the product they put out and has your food out to you fast hot with a smile . If you haven’t been here your missing out. If I had one thing to ask for it would be for them to be open for breakfast. Man that was the best cat head biscuits melt in your mouth. Breakfast was hands down the best also.Thank you for blessing Swansea with such a great experience every time.

My family visited the cafe for lunch after it was recommended to us by multiple friends. I’m so glad we did! We all ordered a burger. Our food was fresh and delicious! Will definitely return and highly recommend to others!

Food and service were excellent. Hubby and I only ate 1/2 of our huge sandwiches. We will definitely go back.
