To humble beginnings. I like the ease of ordering on a tablet. The system to pay an receive order is a little funky. Wish you had more space. Good prices and food fit the price. 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

Food was very good Service was excellent Great spot for a quick burger and fries The line of customers was incredible read more

Val's represents everything good about comfort food, and they have been doing it really well for a very long time. Their longevity from a bygone era is a testament to the quality of their food and drinks. I won't lie and suggest they have the best burgers around, but with consideration to price, they're really quite good. If you're a fan of greasy, thin patties, this is your place. I'm practically drooling just writing about them, and I always make sure to get a couple extra to reheat for a second meal. Most people order their meals from terminals inside, adding or omitting the regular fixings. Get fries with your meal because not only are they delicious, fresh, and salty (they use a special seasoning), they also dump quite a bit extra into the bag, which then keeps your sandwiches warm and juicy. Try washing everything down with one of their famous shakes. Although I've never tried them, everyone I've ever talked to says they're fantastic. I don't think there are many locals that don't know about Val's, since they've been pleasing appetites for decades. But if you haven't come here, it's definitely worth a drive. It isn't a sit-down restaurant, so plan on take away or eating in your car. There is really nothing bad to be said at all about Val's. And considering that I've never visited without seeing fellow patrons alongside of me, it's clear they deliver on an excellent, and nostalgic, experience that is sure to leave diners of all ages pleased. read more

Best burgers in the mid-west! Great service from the entire team! Probably the best value in the world! A must stop if you are driving anywhere near central Minnesota! read more

I've been going to this restaurant for 30 years. Fries and Shakes are great. Burgers are good but make sure to get a double.

The burgers at val's are the best in town. Get a milkshake too! They got a lot of flavors, french fries are 10/10. And service is great and it's simple to order. read more

Patties are similar to McDonald's frozen premade patty they use for big macs so not fresh. Fries are ok, tastes like it had buttered popcorn salt on them, tho. read more

Nice little old-school burger shop. Prices are great. Gets crowded. Ordering ahead online works best. Enjoy!

Stopped here on the way up North at around 5:30PM. Pretty full in the small space with people waiting for their food. You order at a kiosk on either side. I got a pumpkin pie milkshake and a regular order of fries, which was only about a 5 minute wait. Very delicious, and the fries were hot and greasy; similar taste to McDonalds' fries. Would recommend! read more

We drive from the twin cities just to enjoy a hamburger and fry. They are the best in minnesota

Super solid experience Don't understand why everyone waits inside the small restaurant haha Tip: add bacon to your cheeseburger Orange Dreamsicle Shake was outstanding as well Would definitely return read more

Nice old fashioned burger place. Limited but consistent menu. Good value. Fast service. Burgers could use a hotter grill for a better sear but decent meat bun and seasonings extremely generous with fry quantity! read more

I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. The burgers here are fantastic. The fries and shakes are delicious. The service is always polite and helpful. This is a walk up style restaurant and it's old school cool. The food is very affordable so you won't break the bank or feel bad if you order more than you can eat. Don't go to St. Cloud without eating at Val's. I try to eat here as often as I can. read more

The best hamburger joint in, dare I say, the world, just ahead of Jacks in Valley Village, CA. Once a St Cloud resident 20 years ago, I will always make it a point to stop by Vals whenever I'm back in town from California. The cheeseburger and fries are so dang good and remind me of how McDonald's food tasted In The 80's when it wasn't over processed like today. I usually order the 2 cheeseburgers and small fries (which is like an xl fries). Sometimes a shake. I am always so happy during this meal. Thank you Vals for not changing and I pray you stay open for years to come. read more

BEST FOOD EVER! Always worth the wait every single god darn time! But that's what it takes to get the best food in Minnesota for unbeatable prices! People that know how good this place is are always willing to wait with a watering mouth and a big smile on their face. I'm always excited to eat at Val's because of the workers and the food plus everyone is always so nice! So if you want the best burger around come down to Val's! read more

Awesome vintage hole-in-the-wall burger joint! Totally retro except you place your order on touchscreens which is hilarious cause everything else is is exactly the same way it's been since the 50s. I guess it makes sense since the 50s futuristic dreams were of having robots serve us and take our orders etc. Fries were great, classic shoestring. Milkshake is like if heaven froze over and you could suck it with a straw. read more

Awesome food reasonable prices good location friendly people varties choices on the menu order online or phone or you can order there good variety of shake flavors awesome hamburgers and excellent seasoned French fries east side st Germain st st cloud mn across from red electric not a long wait to get food unless around lunch time but still isn't a very long wait for your order for fast food I would have to give it 5 stars read more

Always delicious, and the service is great! The burgers, fries, and shakes are the best! I will be going back again!

Decent, cheap burgers & really good fries at this hole in the wall. You enter to a standing room only lobby, place your order on their self serve kiosks & wait until your # is called. Got a double bacon cheeseburger with the works (ketchup, mustard, pickles & onions) for less than $4. My BF & I ate for less than $12 total. Unless you're a huge fries fan, a regular order will definitely serve 2 people. They're skinny cut fries too, which I'm a big fan of. Didn't get a chance to try their malts but I'm sure we'll go back sometime & grab one at that point n PS- you either eat in the car or get your food to go. No tables. read more

Greasy fries and burgers, yum! Milkshakes are a favorite! Order on the tablet then stand in line.

Specialize in burgers, fries, & milkshakes. Burgers have the works (pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard), fries are soft, milkshakes came with large bright straw and went down smooth. Old style burger joint, may look a bit worn down, but food is amazing! Cheese on cheeseburger melted perfectly. Can do triple patty. T-shirts available. read more

This is one of the best little burger spots in town! Very reasonably priced, you get tons of fries. However, I would say the burgers are quite small. read more

Amazing like always, I love getting a burger and fries from here and always bring friends and family who are visiting from out of town. Can't beat $5.23 for a cheeseburger and fries, especially being a college student and I don't typically cook burgers at home. The employees are also always nice and on top of things. Thanks for being awesome! read more

Simple and amazing burgers. Get a double!! The fries with seasoning are awesome too!! Great little gem in Minnesota!

Great burgers and shakes. A must visit if in town. We had cheeseburgers and creamsicle shakes. Highly recommend.

Traveling for work and there weren't a lot of food options but I found Val's on Yelp and oh my gosh it was worth the wait! It's a little bitty place, and it was packed! You order on a screen and then they call your number out. One order of fries is definitely enough for two people to share and they basically just fill the bag over your burger (be prepared for the grease!) make sure you are napkin rich because you'll need them. The burgers, fries, and milkshake were delicious. You should make sure to stop if your nearby! read more

The service was terrible! I waited for my food, and the worker was rude and refused to give me my order. I'll NEVER go there again!!

The hamburger is ok. Not great but decent. I wish there were better pickles on the burger. 3 stars. Their fries are awesome. They give you a ton. For 20 cents more they give you a whole extra scoop. 5 stars. Shakes are amazing here. 5 stars. Get large everything. You're getting screwed if you don't pay the extra few cents. 6 stars for service! The girl behind the counter was working her tail off on a busy Sunday afternoon lunch hour and she was so sweet and kind. You can't beat the prices here 5 stars!! read more

The food is very reasonably priced, service is quick, and the ambiance feels like an old time restaurant. I strongly recommend stopping and at least trying once. I recommend a double cheeseburger with fried onions, fries, and a milkshake. read more

Good food and decent pricing compared to everything else around. Aaron has great service and makes jokes which makes the overall atmosphere of the tiny corner shop great! Def recommend getting extra salt, it's the special ingredient there:) read more

Fast, yummy, cheap. A go to for anyone traveling to St. Cloud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found this place by accident, stopped at 2pm & it was Busy. Good burgers & shakes. Giant serving of really good fries. Wish I lived in St Cloud! read more

We called and picked up from window. Adorable so proprietor ship and the food was special. Only have to drive one block off Highway 10 in order to enjoy-- Go by all the chains and make a stop here! We ordered chocolate and butterscotch shakes as well and they were amazing read more

Val's Rapid Service - 2 cheeseburgers and fries --- awesome experience - American Near Me - St. Cloud, Minnesota

One of the best fast food burgers I've ever had at a price that can't be beat! The special salt they use on the fries is also outstanding! This is a gem of a spot and I can see why it has had such devoted customers for so many years-we would drive an hour from our home to eat here! read more

I just got out of federal prison and I have been craving a hamburger for many years that was did not disappoint

We all have places that we love from our youth, that we swear by, the nostalgia factor is huge, so I can't blame anybody who has a history with Val's and loves it. Good on ya If you're NEW to Val's though . . . I'd consider it a one and done. Basically a stripped down McDonald's, the food took way too long to arrive, and the generic frozen bag fries were seriously the saltiest fries I've ever had read more
