What’s going on with Val’s Burgers? – Hayward – Reddit
They semi-shutdown during the pandemic but it’s 2025 and they are still only open 2 days a week with a limited menu and no dine-in. Any idea why?

Since covid hit the place has been shut down mostly but they do open here and there (only on weekends) and when they do you gotta jump on it. I love this place been coming here since i was a kid. Always have to support there business and they have the best burgers and fries around. Worth every pennie! Go support!

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.

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!

Freshest meat I’ve ever had, cooked to order and prepared with all the fixings.
Amazing burgers but cash only and carry-out. Burgers and fries are delivered to your car by friendly staff.
It’s still a family owned business after 60 years!

My grandma, great aunt, and great uncle went here for dinner today! They prefer that you call your order ahead, but we didn’t and the girl who took our order was SUPER nice! Their menu is much more limited than before COVID, but according to my grandma, they’re still the best burgers on the planet. My readers, I’m inclined to agree! My burger was the perfect medium rare with plenty of toppings, just the way I like it. 2 mama burgers and 1 order of fries was more than enough food for 4 people. At $41, that means $10.25 per person for dinner and plenty of leftover fries to make home fries for breakfast tomorrow. Val’s is unfortunately only open 2 days a week and is take out only. They do however have a few tables out back that you can eat at. Between the takeout only rule and folding tables out back, there’s not much in the way of ambiance, but it was hopping with the parking lot crowded with customers’ cars. Totally worth it and I hope that their dining room will be open the next time I come to California! Once the dining room is open, I’ll give them the 5th star!

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 good mix of milk. However, the portion and price is not for one but three.

Showed up, looked at the menu, saw the prices, walked out. And the fact that they only take cash. Food doesnt seem appetizing at all and for the price of a meal here I can spend that same amount of money for 3 meals at In n Out and have a better burger. Sad. How is this place still open? Who knows ♂️

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.

Let’s see. The other reviews have said a lot already, we went based on those. The burgers are clearly hand-made and good, the single order of fries is enough for 2 people to get well-stuffed, and the drinks are limited to cans of Shasta and bottled water. They have a couple little tables out under a tent in the parking lot, and there’s cardboard boxes nearby for trash cans. I wouldn’t call that atmosphere…. but the waitress who happened to find us was nice. They do ask that you call in your order ahead, but we just went and it wasn’t a problem. For 2 mama burgers, one order fries, a bottled water and a soda was $45. I would go again in the spirit of supporting a truly indie local place.

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.
