Budget Burger - Valley City

The burgers and sandwiches at this restaurant are fantastic!

My kind of place! Locally owned and operated, great food, calm and interesting atmosphere, and reasonable prices! Excellent onion rings! We came here for lunch on a cross country trip based on Google reviews.....they were accurate.

I’m from out of town so we kind of stopped in randomly to the town at the local airport get fuel and carry on with the trip. While flight planning, i decided to go into town and grab a bite and I chose budget burger over fast food like Burger King. I’m giving the place 4/5 stars mainly due to my interaction with staff. I’m not from around here so I don’t know the etiquete per se. Aside from the fact when I walked in everyone turned and stared at me as if I was Joe Pesci in my cousin Vinny walking into the local diner, I asked some questions about the burger like if they put ketchup on burgers or if I had to (while pointing at a giant ketchup pump next to counter). The waitress rolls her eyes at me and says: “ what. Do. You. Want. On. Your. Burger. “ A simple yes we can put the ketchup on it would have sufficed. Honestly i was ready to walk out when that happened but at that point I felt like an A-hole.but later realized it was a simple question, not being difficult. Anyway the burgers were decent. Nothing crazy but the price was right and tasty. Kind of actually had Burger King like taste and patty feel to be honest. The dining room is pretty retro and has a bunch of arcades and toys that I’m sure kids love.

Burger is basically a poor man's Burger King without the fake flame broiled taste. Fires and onion rings are good. My Burger was cold, cheese wasn't melted and it was cold. These burgers are not made to order.

Wish they were open Sundays and later on weekends. Kid-friendliness: Nice play area for the kids with crawl toys and big plastic squares to wedge together. Kids love to play here!!
