Reviews for Val's Burgers in Hayward, CA
If you've lived in the East Bay for any length of time, I don't need to tell you about Val's reputation and the legendary... full-pound Papa Burger and malts and shakes. And I'm pretty sure I have posted reviews in the past. But the last couple ofyears have hit small businesses hard, and Val's was also closed for some time. So I was thrilled to see the open sign passingby, and made a detour to visit. It is not back to full operation, only open 11 to 5 on Fridays and Saturdays, and only burgers,fries, and shakes - to go. It is old school, as always, call to place orders, cash only, brought out to your car. (as of thiswriting Sep 2022). I was saddened to see patrons pull up, read the sign then leave ???? I get it... you can go down the road toNations or some other chain burger joint, and they're decent. But you will not find a burger to match. But I was also pleasedto see some kindred spirit patrons stick around. I am not even sure Val's wants or can handle more business right now, but Ihope enough of us can rally to help Val's survive and hopefully thrive again. Please do go out of your way to detour and givethem your business. Read more
I haven't been here in a long time, but this place popped into my head so I wanted to drop a line and say I'm happy Val's is... still thriving. It's the best burger joint I've ever been to and owners are wonderful people. I love this place and I'll find myway back someday ?? Read more
Amazing burger and chips! I wish they would accommodate dine-in soon!
Good food but they're never open. I've visited three times during their supposed operating hours and it's always been closed -... with no signage or anything. Their phone line is also just an automated message telling people they're closed on Sundays andMondays. I feel like the least they could do inform their customers if they will be closed for an extended period of time. Verydisappointed. Read more
The environment was very classic as well as the food. Mama-burger is the right side for me and the taste was good... but can't... say outstanding.. Fish and chips was ordered too according to some comments. Fish is nice but chips weren't attractive to me.(not hot enough, not crispy at all). Milkshake was definitely a must try item as it's get the rich flavor of chocolate and goodmix of milk. However, the portion and price is not for one but three. Read more
Awesome old school burger spot with a cool vibe, great food and great staff. We were starving, and the place was packed, but... much to our surprise, the food came out fast and very good. Read more

I went to by two burgers, one fry and one soda. The person over the phone gave a price of $60.00 lol, I cancelled. We went to... boulevard burger and got great service, good food for $20-25. I'm never going to try to order from Vals again. Read more
