Val's Burgers

Burgers was awesome! Huge amount of fries too! I personally like thick fries, not those skinny ones you find at some chain places

This is the best hamburger in the East Bay. The service is fast, friendly, and efficient. No, eat in your order. Park in the parking lot and wait for them to bring you your food. The only con is the parking lot is right on the corner of a turn that cars fly through. Oh, and CASH ONLY! Only open Friday and Saturday, but so worth the wait. One order of fries is enough for a family of 4. We ordered two momma burgers (1/2 pound each) and added bacon. The bacon was $8 total ($4 per burger). I definitely should have went with a baby burger, I wasn't ready (in best Kevin Hart impression).

Heard so much about this place and finally went to try it today. I really enjoyed the food! The burger was flavorful and cooked well and the fries were nicely seasoned!

Mama burger and fries was $25 before tipMama burger - big, juicy, and all American cheese, ketchup, mustard, relish. Tastes like a kraft and heinz poster child. Soft white bun. Overall good standard American burgerFries- steak cut and large portion however some were unevenly cooked or left over from another batch. Hearty and standardFor almost $30 , I would expect a super gourmet burger or like a fine dining experience. However I felt a little cheated. Shake shack or in n out would be half or even one quarter of the price and still be a better pickGonna give it up to the local business though, everyone's tryna survive out here, however a better business practice would to post the prices clearly or have a menu outside

Val's is my favorite spot every Saturday. I have been coming here for over 50 years and it never disappoints. Fun fact is that the hamburger here is always fresh and never frozen. Shakes are great and the extra crispy fries are the best. Post Covid, Val's is open Friday and Saturday for pick up only. The family that operates the restaurant are the best to boot! I recommend you give Val's a try. Unbelievable that they have been in Hayward since 1958. I heard that today is the last day for milk shakes for the season so run on over and enjoy!

It is the best burger in the bay; I ordered a half-pound burger, fries, and bottled water 10 minutes before my arrival, which is recommended since the restaurant is not open for indoor dining. Still, they did have a canopy with chairs and tables set up outside in the parking lot on this beautiful sunny summer day, which was nice to see; the service was terrific, quick, and easy; all you have to do is call the restaurant as soon as you arrive and tell them which car you are in and they will bring order out to you. The burger meal was pricey but worth every penny! I am so glad I was able to stop by. It was a wonderful treat to myself on this busy Saturday afternoon, so as I was finishing up my meal, I saw the owner/ cook. I told him it was a fantastic burger, and he offered me another one on the house. Am I dreaming? I am sure I found my new favorite hamburger spot, so this is a farewell to all the fast-food burger joints I have supported throughout the years. You have all been dethroned. 5-stars

4++ and old school neighborhood type diner/grill. Seems to be a favorite among locals and people who grew up in the area. And for very good reason. The burgers are delicious. The service is friendly, and the shakes are fantastic. Note: this place is cash only (I believe - it's been a while)I came here a few years ago with my brothers and their families so we had a bunch of kids in tow. It was a big hit for everybody. Such a great time in a family friendly environment. I came here with my girlfriend at the time and we split a mama burger, a milkshake, and fries. I remember everything being really delicious and the kids loved it as well. Nothing too fancy just the delicious well-made old-school favorites. The location itself has that neighborhood charm to it and the parking isn't bad because they have their own lot. Honestly, I've been dreaming of a day where I can come back and have a burger here it's been a while. I probably will hit this place up next time I visit my parents.

SAD!I love this place.I'm afraid it doesn't look, like everything else, it'll be around much longer.Very Sad!DO SOMETHING!!!

Went there for the first time in about 10 years today, expecting to be disappointed. I was reluctant to go because I don't remember the burgers being all that great before. Take out only and cash only, with limited hours. Prices are really expensive. BUT, the burgers were phenomenal (with tomato, relish and grilled onions) and the extra crispy fries were extra delicious. We had one order of fries and two burgers, but the fries portion was so large that we still have enough fries for another meal. Friendly service. Recommended for a bit of a splurge!

Cash only, and having to wait in the parking lot for your food; to go only. $29 for mama burger and onion rings. Burger (ordered medium well) was juicy and good, nothing special. Onion rings were great: fresh, crunchy, delicious. Waitress who took the order and dropped off the food was friendly and good at her job. Unfortunately I got sick a few hours after eating the burger. The meat may have been bad/undercooked. Will not be returning. Inconvenient with cash only, high prices for just take out, and overrated food.
