Here's Nor Cal's Best Burger joint an't no "franchies" Burger
Vals Burger has been serving one of the best burgers in the Bay Area since 1958. The restaurant is a classic style diner thats serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts. Hidden in the sidestreets in Hayward, it can be difficult to find off the 880 freeway. Be patient, the drive is well worth it.
The burger comes in 3 sizes; 1/3, 1/2, 1lb (Baby, Mama, and Papa Burger). Fresh condiments, onions, relish, pickels are at every table for fixing your burger (Cheese and Tomatoes are extra). The beef is very lean, crumbly texture, lightly salted and very little grease. Definitely some type of serloin or heroin addictive. The best part is they way they cook it...the real way...CHARBROILED, that lovely charred taste!!
The fries and onion rings are a 10...crunchy and tender inside. They come in large baskets that can be shared between 4 people and it only costs about $3!!!
Dont look around too much or you'll find yourself staring at the shakes and rootbeer floats. Just imagine a tall fountain glass filled to the rim with slightly melted ice cream AND the mixing container halfway filled with MORE ICE CREAM. We didn't have enough room in our stomachs to try one, but just looking at one, they had to be good, everything else was. There will be a next time for me and I WILL TRY ONE.
Dont miss out on Vals Burgers, my favorite Bay Area burger place so far. For the price, quality, atmosphere, and quantity, Vals is a tough place to beat. I would prefer it over Kirks, Clarks, Happy Hound, Barneys, Fuddruckers, Ben Franks, Red Robbin, Nations, Joes Cable Car, and so on.
