Good food and wonderful service
Wonderful service. Great coffee and breakfast. Prices are too high.
Val’s Diner is an eating establishment designed for those who want a quick breakfast or lunch served with a smile. I dined here one morning during a beer tour of Central New York and I found much to like about this simple yet nice restaurant establishment.
First, let’s talk about the location because it is unique. Val’s Diner is located inside a bus terminal, making it a popular option for travelers as they arrive from a bus excursion or right before they depart. I like how they have the bus schedule announcements right inside the restaurant. You can hear them on the speaker, which is perfect for those who want to grab a bite to eat but don’t want to have to worry that they might miss their bus.
Next, the atmosphere. It is a diner in every sense and it has that look one associates with this type of restaurant. The sky blue colored walls, checkered tile floors, and bar stools without back supports are just what you expect in a diner. There isn’t a ton of seating, but because it is part of a bus terminal, I can’t imagine it ever gets extremely busy.
I was here for breakfast and I ordered an omelet, toast, and home fries. The food was served relatively quickly and it tasted fresh and good. The jelly is served in packets and I added a dab to my toast along with a small amount of catsup on my fries. I finished the entire contents of my plate in a short time and left feeling satisfied.
Diners are not as common as other types of restaurants, but they exude a certain charm and make a nice change of pace from the usual restaurant. Val’s Diner is a cool place for breakfast or lunch and great for those who are traveling by bus and need something to eat. Even if you’re not using the bus terminal, Val’s Diner is a good place for a simple meal and I’m glad I discovered this friendly diner here in Binghamton, New York.
Great food and service!
Conveniently located in the Greyhound bus terminal. The service is pleasant and the food pretty good. They serve breakfast all day and I like that. Whenever I'm passing through I always eat here.
