My grand parents have eaten here since they started dating and are locals now because of how good they are. it is the best food you will get

It was my 1st visit. I had a double cheeseburger and a shake. It was amazing. Its out of my way ut I'll be back.

Fries and shakes are good simple burgers nothing flowery or crazy just a down and dirty old school burger place! There is no seating and this is an order/pick up kinda joint. Order ahead on website during busy times. I will go back. read more

It was crowded, a bit of a wait. It's nothing fancy. But the taste and quality of the burgers and fries are totally worth the wait.

Solid food at a great price. Just know that if you come in it's take out only and if you're in a hurry avoid the normal rush hours around lunch and dinner. read more

If you ever find yourself in the St Cloud area do yourself a favor and grab a quick bite from Val's Hamburgers! The place is a tiny little takeout only joint with a very fun retro sign out front. There is the option to order online ahead of time or at 1 of the 2 kiosks in the lobby. The staff is friendly and the food is usually pretty quick. The prices cannot be beat! Super great value! Highly recommend the milk shakes! read more

I don't get the hype. Having recently moved to St. Cloud everyone's saying this is the spot to try. So I have. Twice. And I'm not impressed. The shakes are TERRIBLE. Just awful. The burgers themselves are small but they're good. The fries I could take or leave. Nothing special. But their ordering system via tablet or phone? AWFUL. A 1990's style web UI disaster. I hope they're not paying a lot for that service because it is ROUGH. and both times that wait was long. I just don't get how this is such a well known place that's supposed to show off Saint Cloud. It's just a hole in the wall with average food and a crappy ordering system. read more

We stopped by for the first time on Saturday. It was packed! Everyone waiting for their orders were pleasant and workers seemed happy. The fries reminded me of McDonald's and I love their fries! Burgers were like a McDonalds cheeseburger. Which, for me, are meh. Prices were very good! read more

Love Val's! Best place for a burger fries and chocolate shake! Fast service and wonderful food!

A hometown burger joint with quite a history. Reasonable prices compared to the big chains. Cheeseburger was tasty and well-cooked. Very good french fries. No apps, but there is a website with menu and ordering options. read more

Small little spot that reminds me of a counter-service Dairy Queen. They make their burgers fresh to order. Standing room only, so don't expect to eat inside. The double cheeseburger was solid. Similar to a McDouble, but slightly higher quality. Fries were also quite good. Well salted, crispy. Strawberry shake that reminds you of something from your childhood. All in all, very solid little burger joint that is also very affordable! Huge bonus for their prices! read more

I used to frequent this place occasionally in the 1990's when I lived in St Cloud. One thing that was really good was their shrimp burger. What the helll happened? For one thing, no tartar sauce was on it. 2nd it was more like a shrimp cake with red pepper, weird seasoning and this thick almost country fried steak batter. I dipped it in ketchup and it was really nasty. Spouse also tried it and agreed. Their fries are always good and plentiful. You order at a kiosk and they call the last 4 numbers of your phone number. Everything is made to order and takes 20 minutes and you literally stand in a small room. The burgers are also apperts frozen patties. See no reason to return, unless I want salty fries. read more

I saw Tony Cu's review at Val's and knew I had to go! tried it and was extremely impressed! loved it!! great food and great prices!! five stars!! Looking forward to my next visit!! read more

Love Val's. Order online ahead of time! The food is classic. Prices great. I love their cheeseburger and fries. Feels like going back in time to a drive in. Never had a bad order and get Val's frequently when traveling through St. Cloud. Definitely a fun spot to try if you're in the area. read more

What a cute little hole in the wall! I love places like this. They remind me of Jts Burgers in West Saint Paul. I had a double burger with some fries and it was smacking! It also came out quite fast! Perfect food for the ride home. I will definitely be stopping here again. read more

I was introduced to Val's a few years ago by a friend while we were on our way up to the cabin. I immediately fell in love and now my husband and I make it a point to stop anytime we are passing through. Their burgers are unassuming but SO FREAKING DELICIOUS. Fries are perfectly crispy and salty. And the milkshakes are a perfect way to finish the meal. And everything is extremely affordable and ready quickly. You can place an order online for pickup and that's the way to go as the interior is pretty small, usually crowded, and standing room only. The staff is always so kind as well! Go to Val's. You won't regret it! read more

First timer- I ordered online (easy) on a Monday at 1:30pm. Went to pick it up and the place was packed. Good sign. I ordered a double cheeseburger, reg fries, and a large chocolate shake. I didn't have to wait long and everything came out correct. The shake was fine but the fries- SO good! And plenty of them. Burger was great. I haven't seen or had a better meal for the price! And it wasn't on special, that's just every day cost. Overall, excellent bang for your buck. Would recommend. read more

Love Val's, it's a local institution! I just miss the old Shrimp Burgers. But the fries are awesome, shakes amazing! Hamburgers are tasty too. read more

Arw you kidding me? They blocked me from ordering food aftwr this. Wow. What has happened to customer service. I asked why my online order was taking longer than walk in orders. Was told in a very unfriendly tone, We put a 20 min delay on online orders. I said I did not know that. and he goes ill give you your money back and you can go somewhere else for lunch. I was like I asked a question. I was not rude why are you being like this. It was crazy. I wanted to support local but I guess they can treat customers anyway they want. read more

Amazing food, It only lasts a few minutes in my family. The people working there are nice and very hard working. The place is always hopping full of customers eager to get their food, everyone is happy to wait because of the quality of the service. The atmosphere feels tight knit and welcoming! edit: Not to mention the prices are very affordable, you can feed yourself for under $10. read more

Finally! Finally I got to try Val's! Cheap eats; good flavor, and you get to meet nice people waiting in line. Flavor was a step above White Castle, but great value for sure!! read more

Ordered a plain triple cheese with a fry. Got no fry and not a plain burger. Tried to get a refund over the phone because I work far away and my mistake for not checking right away I thought these guys knew how to do their job, but they refused to refund me. I will never be returning here. Absolutely terrible read more

The staff that I dealt with were all very nice. The food was excellent. The price of the burgers was incredible A 3 patty cheeseburger for about $5. And a small French fry is about half the bag full. I had a chocolate malt that was probably one of the best I've had in a long time. I'll definitely be back read more

Best burger in town! The shakes are real milkshakes and the burgers taste like state fair burgers. Highly recommend!

Came here after hearing about it a lot. Was not impressed. Small, basic, flavorless burgers. Nothing wrong with them but I just don't get the hype. Was reminded of White Castle, but not as good. read more

Very busy and very squished came here when it was very hot. Food was very good and very cheap. I would recommend getting a milkshake.

Odd little place. Sorta reminds me of an espresso drive thru. Ordering is on a machine and you must enter a phone number (i entered a random # since I was standing there waiting). Food is super cheap for what you get, which is essential why I scored it as high as I did. Nothing amazing here unless probably you're a local. read more

The food is good. burgers and fries are good, so many milkshake flavors! very cheap as well. only issue is the line is always so long. the place is small so it's cramped and annoying to wait for a while read more

A good dive place. So busy. I recommend ordering ahead. They text you when food is ready. Not a long wait though for how busy they were. No place to eat inside. Yummy shakes. Good burgers and Fries. Can order burgers as singles or doubles. read more

I've been wanting to stop here for years when passing through and today I finally did. Val's did not disappoint! The double burger was delicious, french fries were quality (plus there's a lot of them), and the Butterscotch shake was awesome. So glad I stopped and I will now be stopping again. EXCELLENT read more

Not too packed, nice music playing, and good food. But messed up our order almost completely. would come back.

This place will make you believe in God. How can something so inexpensive be so good tasting?

Love that we have couple of good local mom and pops burger joints in town. Val's been around for 62 years and it's still around to serve loyal customers. It's a simple process...call in to order or order online because you can't go in there currently to order. It's a small joint only for pick ups. Get their fries...so good with just enough crunch! We got the Double cheeseburger...fluffy soft bun, thin juicy patties with cheese in between and you add condiments to your liking so we added fried onions, ketchup and pickles. We also got the fish burger. Save room for a good shake...they have a wide variety of delicious creamy milk shakes. We ordered the butterfinger shake...delicious! Don't expect anything gourmet here...it's simple, delicious and nostalgic. Go there to support the business. read more

Staple in the surrounding area. Affordable, good food. Place is always busy so plan ahead. I really don't think anyone would complain of a small price increase to help them get either another location in the area or a bigger single location. It's not uncommon to have no standing room inside when waiting for orders. read more

Delicious! For a small operation they have online ordering or you can order when you get there. I ordered from the screen when I got there and my food was ready pretty quick. Got the double cheeseburger with regular fries. They give you lots of fries! Burger was tasty and fries were crispy and salty. Overall a great place to stop in St Cloud. read more

We stumbled in here as we drove through town. Awesome food, shakes. The best part was hanging out with the friendly locals! We definitely will be back! Excellent prices and customer service! read more

This is the divey-est of fives of hamburger joints. You order via a computer and wait for your number to be called. There is no sitting in the restaurant, but the waiting area is air-conditioned. The menu is small--focusing on the items they do very well. The hamburgers are DELICIOUS! They're in expensive, but not very filling. Buy several or at least the triple. read more
