See what we have cooking as we kick off our season with the Cider & Sunflower Festival!

Every year we add a few new food items we’re excited about. Stay tuned for news of everything new in 2024.

The best place to ask about ingredient information is at each individual food location. Here is a list of a few favorite Vala’s foods! Please note, we do not guarantee that our foods are free from cross-contamination.

INDOOR & DECK SEATING
The cider mill is where all of Vala’s Orchard Apples are stored and then pressed into sweet cider. Some of that cider is served fresh, while the rest is fermented to make our farm-crafted hard ciders. Stop by to catch a view of our cider makers pressing apples from the indoor viewing windows of the Cider Mill. Sip on sweet or hard ciders, savor farm-to-table foods, and relax on the deck overlooking the Cider Mill Pond and water wheel.

INDOOR SEATING at the Barrel Barn, Live Music on weekends
We love barbecue, and we’re thrilled to be smoking and serving our own barbecue at Ethan’s daily! We use applewood for a subtle, fruity flavor. Our meats are sourced locally whenever possible and smoked low and slow, for the best quality barbecue, you won’t want to miss. Along with our signature pulled pork and ribs, don’t miss our tasty specials which pop up for festivals and weekends!

INDOOR SEATING 
Our first large meal location serves fried chicken and hot beef dinners, inspired by Sunday Suppers at Grandma Lois’ house. Stop in to enjoy classic Nebraska comfort food.

INDOOR SEATING 
Our hand-made, from-scratch pies with all-butter crust are simply the best! Try our Salted Caramel Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie made with our own pumpkins, and many more. Pie specials change weekly on Fridays. Plus, warm up with hot sandwiches (NEW!), soups and pot pies.

Our burger spot is a favorite of kids and grown-ups alike! Try The Vala Burger, featuring bacon, cheese and our special sauce. Or our BBQ Burger, which started last year as a special but was so popular we kept it on the menu. And make sure to look for our NEW Freakshakes, reimagined for 2024, yum!
