The Valley Inn in Lutherville-Timonium

We came in for our annual family February birthday celebration with a party of seven. It was a Saturday night and the place was packed. The food was great and much improved since my boyfriend and I ate there a few years ago. Everyone stated that they really enjoyed the food, including comments that the chicken pot pie and gumbo and french onion soup were they best they ever had. I would have rated Valley Inn as a 5-star but the service was disorganized and slow, although our waiter was very pleasant. I only took pics of 2 apps because it was so long before we got our third app and meals that we were starving so I didn't bother. The yellowfin mini tacos were awesome. Additionally, a restaurant of this price range and caliber should never set a table with dirty silverware.

Love this place.....Roxy is my go to bartender for Grey Goose Martinis

As a long time customer who hasn't patronized in several years, I was anticipating a great meal with some of my Valley Inn favorites such as those delicious little corn muffins, fried eggplant and maybe some of their famous Brown Betty for dessert. Sadly, and much to my surprise, none of those classics are on the menu! In fact, the "new menu" looks nothing like what made this place great for so long, and the prices are absolutely absurd, especially for what you get: The chicken pot pie was heavy on the gravy but with no chicken to be found therein; the sorriest, tasteless little breadsticks instead of those delicious light and buttery corn muffins (that were a signature of the place for many decades); and a $12!! brownie that was very underwhelming and small. Clearly the Valley Inn ain't what it used to be and that's very unfortunate! The best part of our lunch was the waitress who was excellent in handling the needs of our large 9-top table.
