We showed up early on a Sunday for lunch, and we had the place to ourselves. I got the cozumel style fish. It was really good. Our waitress was very attentive. It was nice that it was quiet because we planned our vacation while we were there! I'd definitely come back.
This place has been around for a long time. It's not very stylish BUT the food is great and service is fine. Prices are very reasonable as well. We don't know why it's not packed!!!
Great family own joint. Loved the food and ambience. Very good service as well. Highly recommended.
Great seafood carrots soufle. Bomb so good food. Never had bad plate here. Diane is my waitress normally unless weekend.
This place was an unexpected surprise for us. We stopped on a whim for lunch and were quite impressed with the food. I had the Cozumel fish and my wife had the cactus fish. Overall the fish was perfectly cooked and flavorful, though the pickled cactus was a bit tart. There are not many restaurants this successful at cooking fish, and locally I would put Valdos somewhere between Tommy's and Papa's Seafood. The place has the look of a traditional American restaurant, but in a good way. There's a full bar which I was quite tempted by, but resisted at lunchtime. Service was good. We both really enjoyed the meal and saw many other dishes on the menu that we want to try. We are looking forward to coming back probably quite soon.
Best kept secret on Route 1. Excellent food & service in a quaint, idillic location. If your looking to slow things down a bit, and enjoy a great meal (TEXAS SIZED PORTIONS) this is the place to be!
Bathroom 5/5: Average Dining Area 5/5: The dining area was average what I really liked was the bar area. It had a antique feel to it. It wasn't much to look at but as a tip the tables with a view of the water offer the best sunlight for a selfie :) Customer Service 5/5: Dianne if you're reading this you're awesome keep up the great work! Food 5/5: Let's talk about the food y'all omg. The blackened tilapia and shrimp lunch special is FIRE ! My picture doesn't do it justice. You'll just have to check it for yourself. I've had a margarita or two at this restaurant before and I probably should've stopped after the first one lol Price 5/5: $$$ If anyone knows me well enough by now, I'm okay paying more for quality food. However, yes there food was a bit pricey. The taste made up for it and there rice and carrot tasted better than anything I've made at home. Vibe 5/5: I went around lunch time and it was hardly anyone there. So this is a perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle or catch up on some work while eating. The music was at a reasonable level and there were different channels on the TVs throughout the restaurant. Plenty of parking space around the back. Overall 30/30: This is a great spot.
