Vally Medlyn's — Restaurant in Danville

The place was extremely busy, which is not too bad. We had a walk over to the Starbucks and came back and waited to be seated. The wait was about 15-20 minutes, which was to be expected, and I did not mind. When seated, we knew the place would be overwhelmingly busy, but we were expecting that; despite all that, we got help from a particular waitress who was not very helpful at ALL.

She took our drink order and handed it off to another waitress to fetch it for her, she forgot about our drinks, and as it was not necessarily the job of the other waitress, we got it 10 minutes later. A simple water and diet coke. We waited a while for our order to be taken, but noticed other families and couples pouring in about 30 minutes after our party was seated and being helped PROMPTLY by other staff members. Okay? So maybe busy, but our waitress in particular was either lazy or maybe we seemed too young or undeserving of proper waiting?

Finally, we get our food, and we dig in. Mind you, the food was amazing for the most part, no one in the party complained of any of the food. I enjoyed it until I was completely full.

When we wrapped up around 11:45-11:50, we sat patiently waiting for our check or to be acknowledged we were leaving. No one checked on us while we ate. Meanwhile, one of our cups was emptied, and we would have liked a refill. After we waited a full 10 minutes, one of us simply got too impatient and said, "We would like the check and a box to go please." As courteous as possible. The waitress says, "Okay, no problem." I patiently waited 15 minutes for a check that never arrived. I simply grew impatient after sitting 25-30 minutes total after finishing eating and simply walked up to the register to ask for a check. The man couldn't find it and basically said the waitress had miswrote our table number or something of the sort. Meanwhile, she never even handed it to us. Simply let others take care of it for her while also not caring about where it had gone. The man at the register eventually rectified the situation, and I was able to pay, box our food, and leave.

Despite all this, I felt obligated to leave a tip simply because the cooks did a good job and truly believe this waitress should be fired or not allowed my personal tip somehow but the chefs should get the tip instead. I normally do not write negative reviews, especially when it's about one person in particular, but it was so infuritating that I do not plan to return ever, especially if she still works at this establishment. WORST customer service/ waitress experience I've ever experienced in my entire life. I do not think I am exaggerating.

Mind you also, we were seated in the restaurant at about 10:55am and had walked out at 12:30pm simply for how long we were waiting for this one waitress...

Small, cozy breakfast/lunch place. Vally Medlyn's has been around for years in downtown Danville. Good size tasty portions at reasonable prices. Family and dog friendly. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Chicken & Waffle is more like a fancy deep fried chicken finger(s) than a couple of pieces of chicken sprinkled with powdered sugar, which actually made the freshly deep fried chicken fingers taste even better. Waffle is light and airy. Bacon is thick sliced.

Vally Medlyn's has high chairs and booster chairs. In the Unisex restroom, there is a diaper changing table. Crayons and kids menu (gender specific coloring sheets)are provided to keep your kiddos to keep them entertained

9/22/17 Update: Had breakfast outside and dog watched for entertainment. Vally Medlyn's is dog-friendly. They have a jar of giant size dog biscuits by their entrance and a water bowl.

Enjoyed eating the pancake special - 4 good sized super fluffy, light pancakes, scrambled eggs, and thick crispy apple-smoked bacon and the chunky Meat...

I was so excited to see they were open this morning. I called a few times before arriving but the line was busy each time. We arrived and was initially told that we needed to put our name on a list, but shortly offered a table. The waitress suggested the berry mimosa. Really good! I enjoyed seeing the bubbles rising after she brought it to the table. We ordered the bacon, spinach and avocado scramble without avocado and the gold special with sausage. It wasnt the italian sausage that I wanted but the waitress acknowledged it and corrected it. Both meals were seasoned perfectly. The eggs were light and the pancakes were fluffy. Leftovers were taken home!Looking forward to returning and trying something else...
