My husband and I dined at valley Green Inn on the recommendation of another lawyer from the Philadelphia area. We thoroughly anjoyed our meal in the quite old property overlooking a creek. The food was very good and service fine. We would like to return there another time and eat on the lovely porch.

I have gone here for dinner and brunch - brunch on the porch was better by far. Dinner was ok but pork chops were way overcooked and tasted like sawdust.

The setting is magnificent. You are in a secluded area....away from the rush and noise of the city.....in an 1800 Inn. Wonderful menu!!! An enjoyable evening with friends.

Enjoyed a fabulous lunch with hubby on the porch. Sandwiched between 2 weddings, our service was still excellent. Possibly the best grilled cheese sandwich ever! Beautiful views. We will definitely return for some hiking and libations!

My husband and I recently took a walk in Fairmount Park on a sunny day, with the Valley Green Inn being our ultimate destination where we wanted to have lunch. It was on a week day so reservations weren't necessary but I would recommend them for dinner and on the weekend. The restaurant was pretty crowded. We both had the... More

This little gem is tucked away in the woods, the beautiful Wissahickon River flowing by. An historic building, beautifully rustic and charming. The food was sooo sooo good! We all cleared our plates! I intend on going back to this place again and again. If you are a scallop lover, do yourself a favor and get the diver scallops, simply... More

This place is fantastic! Nice, secluded location, with a rustic feel. The food was memorable and reasonably priced. Our waitress was great, and she was helpful with suggestions. I had an epic grilled cheese sandwich and the rest of my party were pleased with their meals (highlights included a delicious crab cake, and french onion soup that oozed with flavor).... More

What a beautiful setting to enjoy a relaxing brunch! Valley Green Inn is located in Wissahickon Park in Philadelphia, although it hardly feels like Philly. It is so quiet and remote, even the drive there builds anticipation. The Inn itself is pretty; a large, white house with a front porch overlooking the trees and water. You'll see runners and bikers... More
