2 Local Eateries On Best Burgers Of The East Bay List

CASTRO VALLEY, CA — Memorial Day weekend is upon us, the traditional start of the summer grilling season.

If you would rather let someone else do the cooking for you, these local burger joints recently made the Eater SF list of top 20 burgers in the East Bay.

In Hayward, Val's Burgers is praised by Eater SF for being an "old-school diner burger — just beautifully charred meat on a bun, served without fuss or adornment, apart from maybe some relish or grilled onions. Get it with a malt on the side. Don’t forget to bring cash." Val's is at 2115 Kelly St., Hayward.

In San Lorenzo, Classic Burger earns praise because it "sticks to the classics: just simple, well-executed, inexpensive burgers. The loftiest item is probably also the most popular: the signature Classic Burger, which comes topped with pastrami and cheese." Classic Burger is at 15927 Hesperian Blvd., San Lorenzo.
