"I stopped by here earlier today for lunch with my father and goddaughter. We had both driven by Valiants many times in the past and for some reason had never gone so I was happy to oblige him whenever he expressed an interest. Whenever we got there the parking lot was mostly full, both front and back and I think we got the last spot. We then walked around the restaurant and went in and seated ourselves in a booth. The inside of Valiants looks like how you would picture an old diner complete with lunch counter, checkboard floors, 50's/60's pictures on the wall (Elvis, Betty boop, Marilyn Monroe and other diners) and interesting colored mint green booths.\n\nFor lunch on this day I decided to go with the Valiant burger with a side of fries. According to the menu, the burger was an 8 oz party with Swiss cheese, grilled peppers, onions and mushrooms. It ended up taking a pedestrian 30 minutes from ordering until it got to our table which I normally wouldn't mention but with a somewhat fussy 1 year old at our table, it felt longer. Honestly I wasn't expecting much from it due to its price ( less than $6) and the 2.5 star Yelp rating for Valiants. So I was pleasantly surprised whenever I bit into the burger and I thought it was actually quite good. It was larger than I expected as well with ample toppings and a nice layer of Swiss on the top. The only part that could have used improvement was the bun. While it was toasted it could have been toasted longer as the bun ended up being soggy and fell apart whenever I ate it. Their fries were crinkle cut and came out piping hot and tasted pretty good. When eaten plain they could have used some more salt but whenever I added Franks red hot to them I was happy.\n\nThe bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Even though our order took a little longer than we hoped, the food was good and the prices are too."^^ . . "1"^^ . . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . "2017-10-25T00:00:00"^^ .
