Never judge this book by its cover...this tiny hole-in-the-wall place really turns out classic burgers, fries and shakes better than those famous franchised places. Here at "Val's Rapid Serve" the customer enter their own orders into the self service terminals and have the option of prepaying by credit or debit card, or cash at the time they pickup their food....

I have been in intermittent customer for over 25 years. The fries are worth the drive. I appreciate the fact they remember my name even though it may have been a while since I last stopped in.

Great burgers!! And the fries are delicious! The service is wonderful, but I wish that the hours were longer instead of closing at 7:00 maybe 8:30 or so.

Vals has been a St. Cloud dining landmark for decades, and unlike other early fast food restaurants, Vals is still independent and thriving. The burgers have ketchup, mustard, grilled onions, and pickles and they're great. Even better though and more well known are the fries. Thin and covered in seasony goodness, the grease seeps right through the bag. They really... More

Love the ordering system. Where in the world am I calling when I pick up the phone from the Lobby. Burgers are great and the fries are magical. No need for the large fries, they fill the bag no matter what you order. Don't plan on visiting on a diet, but come hungry

You must eat here at least once and I guarantee, you'll go back. Go ahead and order the small fry because they will basically fill the bag with fries anyhow. The malts are delicious and more importantly -the burgers can't be beat.

A trip to Val's is unlike anything most people expect. First, most people would drive by this tiny postage stamp-sized eatery thinking is it no longer in business...but, it is. Here you must pick up your food between the hours of 11 AM and 7 PM daily. There is no breakfast, no drive-thru window nor any car-hops on roller skates.... More
