Val’s regulars meet for coffee, eggs, and bagels in the morning, a corned beef sandwich, salad, soup, or blintzes in the afternoon.

Soup for lunch? Val’s offers several varieties of chicken soup: Noodle or rice, chicken in a pot, matzo ball, kreplach, or mish mash. You can also get cabbage soup, mushroom barley, turkey chili, or the “soup of the day.” Don’t forget to order your soup with Val’s delicious hot deli rye or challah.

Prefer a traditional deli sandwich? Val’s has all your favorites, including a delicious “off the bone” turkey sandwich. Rather order a hot dog? Try the “Chicago Style” or the “Swanky Franky,” which is grilled and wrapped in bacon and cheese. How about a burger? Try the patty melt or sliders if you wish. If you’re into sides, check out the blintzes, knishes, kugel, or latkes. Val’s also features a full catering menu and a wonderful pastry counter with all your favorite old country sweets.

Give Val’s a try and see if it becomes your new favorite deli!
