One of my favorite places to visit! Even though it's pretty far from me it's worth the drive. I always make reservations, especially if I'm coming for dinner vs lunch. I personally don't eat pork, but my family does. And everything is so good! We always get platters and wings. We do switch up the sides from time to time, but for the most part it's baked beans, Mac and cheese and fries. We also got the hot links which is not pictured but that's also something we always get. We had a nice waitress. The restaurant was clean and the staff were so pleasant as always. We will be back sooner than later.

Went with friends, so their photos are included, too. Everyone loved their entrees! I personally loved the grilled cheese with brisket and the Valley Girl! The staff was very friendly and the views outside were beautiful. Will definitely come back in cooler months.

All I can say is wow. The way they serve their grits is like none other. It's more of a very flavorful sushi rice. I have never seen grits done like this. The plate was full of unique flavors that were amazing. The tacos were astounding too. The service at Valley is always on point and friendly. Brunch was an amazing time to go, not too busy and a great view of the water. Would love to go back and try more brunch plates.

One of the best indoor/outdoor venues for dining that we have found. Beautiful views on the water and you can sit and watch all the boats go by. At Christmas time the Palm Valley boat parade will come right past this lovely patio. People will gather their chairs and sit on the lawn for this annual tradition! They have a great menu filled with something for everyone. Check it out - there is a photo. They offer a full bar and yummy cocktails. Perfect for dining al fresco! We frequent once every other week. It has always been a fantastic experience each time! Love the views, the food, the staff, location! Everything is awesome!

All of these owners restaurants are off the chart for greatness. Great selections from traditional to cutting edge.

We came here on a Friday night while we had guests in town. First recommendation, make a reservation (and make it early...meaning at least a week plus out). This place gets booked very quickly! We opted to have a drink at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready. I like that they have bar seating and then they also have a couch and a a few arm chairs that sit in front a huge bourbon selection. I'm not a bourbon fan (much to my dad's chagrin), but it was neat to see the 100s of options they had available. I had my standard lemon drop martini, which was tart and sweet and delicious. Halfway through our drinks our table was ready, so we made our way to our table. We were seated in a room to the right of the bar (if you're facing where the intracoastal is located). This room has shiplap paneling, a deer head over the fireplace and a huge framed American flag. It's warm and inviting. Our server, Seth, was super nice and joked around with our kiddo. While everyone ordered a second round, we looked over the menu. For starters we opted for the ham croquettes and some of their chips with blue cheese dipping sauce. Everything came out pretty quickly, and I was eager to dig into the ham and cheese croquettes. I'm used to croquetas from Spain, which tend to be shaped differently, but they were very similar. The filling was flavorful and I liked the mustard garnish they put underneath each croquette, because it added great flavor. The chips were perfectly cooked and the dipping sauce was nice and creamy. Next onto entrees. I saw the table next to me being served their food and asked their server what everyone ordered. She said almost everyone at the table ordered the porkchop and she said it was the best item on the menu. I was initially thinking of getting the brisket, but decided to try the porkchop. That porkchop did NOT disappoint. Between the chutney and the cheese grits, it was like a medley of deliciousness in every bite. The portion size was generous with two full pork chops. I wound up saving one porkchop for lunch, which did not disappoint. I know sometimes pork chops can either be cooked great or they can be dry. This pork chop was moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

Finally found a good time to dine here. Even on a Wednesday night, the place was full so thank goodness for reservations. We literally checked in and were seated immediately. We started with the skillet cornbread which was very good. We then opted for the 'Que for 2 and chose chicken, ribs, and turkey but were informed they just ran out so we did brisket instead of the turkey. For sides, poblano creamed corn, creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. All the sides were excellent but I listed them in order of preference. #GetTheCorn The inside is beautifully appointed but with all the wood and hard materials throughout, it was loud. Their bar was center stage much like all their other restaurants in the "Ben and Liza" family. Service from Julia was perfect - friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Management also checked on us towards the end of the meal so this place really has it going on. Add 2 more fans to the Valley Smoke list.

My love for beef brisket knows no bounds, but I only have it at places that I know specialize in it. In my self-destructive phase, I had a few bad brisket experiences and made a pact with myself, never again. It had been maybe a year or so since the last time I had danced with the cut of meat from the lower breast of a cow, so you can understand my excitement when I was told we were going to Valley Smoke. We were seated in a booth fit for a world champion and started off with an order of Fried Chicken Liver, cornbread, and some fried green tomatoes. The cornbread was carrying the team on its back à la Greg Jennings. It came in this warm skillet and was almost like a cake. Corncake. Hehe. I scanned the menu like a Colts Peyton Manning going through his progressions and saw a tomato soup. The thing about me is I NEVER miss this read, as tomato soup has to be the most underrated soup in the game. This one was a top 2 tomato soup I've ever had, as it came with a perfectly charred grilled cheese hanging off the rim to dip. It was spiritual. My only regret is that I got a cup instead of a bowl smh. For the main event, I obviously got the Valley Smoke Beef Brisket Plate with a side of cream corn and brisket baked beans. It was the elegant dance I had so long yearned for, fulfilling every last hope and dream. The cuts of brisket easily sliced through, falling off the theoretical bone, melting in my mouth. I'm salivating right now thinking back. Who knows when the next brisket I have will be. It's bitter, baby, but at the same time, it's very sweet. A slow roller coaster, but I'm on my feet.......... Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.......... I thought that last paragraph wrapped this review up nicely, but I must come clean about something, my dear reader. I lied to you earlier. I have another regret other than just getting a cup of tomato soup instead of a bowl: These were arguably the worst quality pictures I have taken for a review yet and do not do Valley Smoke the justice it deserves. I won't make excuses because I carry myself like a world champion and world champions don't make excuses. But if I were to make excuses, I would say that I was with my girlfriend's family for the first time and I can't be that phone-eats-first guy on the initial impression, even though that's exactly what I am. I need to make a good first impression before I take the mask off. I mean what would you do? No excuses though, I'm a world champion. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__reviews
