val's burgers

well what you know??? looks really could be deceiving. a shabby lookingplacebut it serves one of the best tasting burger steak (they call it ground beef steak here.😉) i ever tasted. their polish sausage taste great according to my wife and the milk shakes.... yum!😋

perfect burger, juicy and flavorful.placeis adorable, too, and once we sat next to teenagers wearing rodeo costumes un-ironically, which rocked. fries and rings are just ok and cash only are minuses, but the burger and shakes more than make up for it.

extremely overrated...very disappointing burger.. i ventured all the way to val's burgers because of all the "hype" i read about it on another review site and i actually found thisplaceto be extremely overrated.

first of all, it's not in a very nice part of town...and the parking lot is quite small. service was friendly, but my mama burger was quite disappointing. my husband ordered a linguica breakfast and he said it was awful...he didn't even finish it and he always cleans his plate!

even a double double cheeseburger from in-n-out beats val's burgers any day...at half the price...and they take credit cards (val's is cash only)...and their bathrooms are clean (i walked in and walked right back out of val's...it was that bad.)

one more thing...val's is the firstplacei've been to that charges extra for a slice of tomato on their burgers.

wow! the best burger in the bay area no doubt!!! and the best memory of growing up a bay area kid. i have dreams at night of val's burgers and the owners thick black mustache. both look very cool but one tastes better than the other!! this is my all time favoriteplaceto get a burger! now i know a good burger and i've had my share of burgers but this is my place! been going here for over 30 years and i'm only 34! the burgers come in 3 sizes; baby-1/3, mama-1/2 and papa-1lb. .all bout the mama burger for me as i prefer one beef patty if i'm super hungry i'll get 2 but that is so rare! fresh condiments- onions, relish, pickles are at every table for fixing your burger (cheese and tomatoes are extra). the best part is they way they cook it...the real way...charbroiled, that lovely charred taste!! the fries and onion rings are so scrumptious and tender inside. they come in large baskets that can be shared between you and all of your friends for around $3. i gotta get the fries as they have the best classic thick cut fries. i never life soft fries but i make the exception for val's fries, oh my!! a shake to top things off is the way to go! they have so many flavors to choose from but i usually go with banana or pineapple. cool to see the staff for the most part is the same as when i started going there and after all this time they still remember my face! love how they keep it in the family! u can go for breakfast lunch and dinner but anytime i go i always gotta get my burger on! most of the time u go there is somewhat of a wait on a busy weekend night be ready to wait but so worth it i swear to god! val's isn't the easiestplaceto find in hayward as it's not on the main drag but if you find a burger lover around the area they better know of val's or that person needs to move out of hayward now! parking is a drag too as they have as many spaces as they do tables but patience always works out. i just wish they were open on sunday's and monday's cause i get my cravings 7 days a week. i guess i need those 2 days off so i can keep up my cute girlish figure! :)
