Venerable family-owned burger joint has been serving charbroiled quarter-pounders, fries and milkshakes since the 1950s.

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
Share a mint chocolate chip milkshake. It's big enough for two.
Save Time:
Locals don't mind waiting in line, so expect a wait.
Parking:
Parking is extremely difficult. Be prepared to circle the block a few times.

What a HUGE Disappointment...In-N-Out Has Better Burgers!

by LeilaniSouzaDotCom at Citysearch

I had a Mama burger, medium, and was surprised that Val's charges extra for a slice of tomato, but whatever. DH ordered the linguica and eggs breakfast.

The burger was "okay" but the linguica was awful...DH didn't even finish it and he is not one to waste food. Service was "okay" and the owner Val seemed cheerful as he took our cash (no credit cards accepted) but their bathrooms horrified me...and I'll stop right there.

Honestly, an In-N-Out burger is better than Val's...and at least their bathrooms are clean, a slice of tomato is included and they do take credit cards.

  • Cons: Awful linguica, tomato slice is not free w/burger, cash only

This is the spot!

by alextremo at Citysearch

No where could you find a better place for a good hamburger. Big ones too. Onion rings are so,so good! Try it, this is the spot. Lunch time has the line out the door 12-1. Parking lot small . Very cool people work here and the service is down to earth. Try it! I give this place A+

  • Pros: good food
  • Cons: small parking area

Hands Down Best Burger Joint!!!

by thisisannoying at Citysearch

i love this place. best time to go is around 3 pm. the lunch rush is over and it's before the dinner rush. by far the best place to get a burger and i've tried many places. not just for a burger, but definitely try the steak sandwich, add some american cheese and tomato and forget claim jumper steaks!!!! shakes are excellent and pie a la mode is great. but if this is your first time, make sure you order the mama burger and guys, don't try the papa burger....it'll ruin it!!! if you think you can eat the papa, you're better off getting a mama burger and splitting the jr steak sandwich with a friend.

excellent food!!! and gotta love the owner's mustache

  • Pros: the food is excellent, once in awhile you'll run into a celebrity in there
  • Cons: about 20 parking spaces
