We were looking for a new place to try after enjoy the historical museum and this place showed up. Glad we went! The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful. Priscilla was our waitress and she was very pleasant! We tried the loaded fries, chicken bacon ranch wrap and half order of BBQ chicken Flatbread. Everything was made very quickly and tasted amazing! I can't decide if I liked the fries or the wrap more! Next time we are in the area, we will definitely be back!

While stopping by on our way through town, our whole family had a superb experience at Valerie's. The atmosphere was cute and welcoming and the staff was kind and attentive. The food was all excellent, highlights including a homemade chicken noodle soup, bloody Mary grilled cheese, the Kenzie Michigan Salad and the chicken Caesar wrap. For dessert we split a strawberry rhubarb cake that was not only adorable, but perfectly moist and sweet. Truly couldn't have asked for a better lunch!

This is one of the best restaurants in the tri cities! The food was excellent and the owner is so friendly. The atmosphere is great, and we love coming here now. Definitely worth a stop! You also get some friendly faces.

If you’re in Saginaw and down for either a cute, quick bite or several hours of meandering and catching up with friends-Valerie’s is the place to go! Highly recommend the veggie tacos!

If there's a spot in Saginaw I can't recommend enough of, it's Valerie's. You won't find a more inviting, friendly atmosphere, along with delicious homemade food. The owner Juliana is an absolute delight and her staff members are incredibly kind. If you want a delicious and warm place to have a meal, you can't do better than Valerie's!

We had a special valentine's day dinner. The food was amazing. Sausage and apinach stuffed mushrooms were absolutely divine. My boyfriend had the chicken portobello marsala pasta and I had a smothered ribeye, both were excellent. The atmosphere was great and so were the servers. Hats off to the chef and the owner for a fantastic night. We will definitely be back.

First time coming to Valerie’s and the food was great! We had the cowboy burger and Valerie’s own sandwich- wrap style! Food was delish! And we will definitely recommend!

First time here. My sister and I had the Olive burgers. Made just like we wanted. Fantastic! Fast service, great staff, nice and clean little resturant. We will be back and bring friends next time. Support your local businesses.
