This restaurant is always good if you’re in for comfort food like a great burger and a literal bag of fries alone with a nice cold shake made like they were in the 50’s! Overall great service and awesome staff that care about their customers! The meat is made all to speck in-house and aged for 24hours and the fries are steak fries made right!

Oh my goodness, what wouldn't I say about this place. The burgers are amazing. And, when you order fries there's really enough for an army. I definitely appreciate that part. On my last visit, the owner's daughter came out to tell me that they had to start over the burger because it wasn't cooked the way I had requested. I really appreciated the apology. Additionally, the owner came out and said hello on my way out and again apologize for making me wait. He's a perfectionist, at this price point for a burger. I definitely appreciate that. This is a place I would go again and again.

Great spot for a burger.
Been comming here for 30 yrs. Its the vibe for sure, but just a few blocks down the road, is the best hamburger.
Just introduced to Val's Burgers, I was shocked by the price until I actually tried the food ,BEST BURGER AND FRIES, I have ever had that was not cooked at home.
Just went again recently! This is one of the few hamburger restaurants that will cook your meat the way you like it. 1/2 burger with Cheddar cheese, Medium. I always enjoy going back.

At the suggestion of a friend, who grew up here, I decided to drive to Hayward, CA and try a burger place called Val's Burgers. They've been in business since 1958, but like many small Mom & Pop places, Covid restrictions has them almost down and out. They no longer have any dine-in options and will only accept cash.
I spoke with George, the 2nd Generation owner (Val's son) and his daughter. They both had a sad aura about them. Like they're witnessing the last dying breath of a cherished loved one. It broke my heart. Such nice people being run out of business by greedy heartless politicians.
My friend was right, it was the best burger and fries I have had in a very long time. If you're in the area, support these very nice people and have possibly the best burger you've ever eaten.

Delicious shakes, burgers, and fries! I've been coming here as a kid and while the hours and atmosphere have changed, the food is still just as incredible. Shoutout to the super nice waitress who took my order.

Open 2days per week, cash only and orders must be called in. It a lot to take but the burgers are really good. Before Covid, one could actually go inside to place an order. Perhaps the minute and thirty seconds of eye candy brining your order will be the balance for the obstacles…. Up to you ?

Nostalgia wasn't a great reason to deal with their limited hours, barely existent menu, and still closed dining area. People there were nice, but it's either time to reopen, sell, or close.
