First, let's get this out of the way. Vans makes a very good burger. In fact, it's just as good as an IN-'N'-OUT burger. In fact, if you close your eyes, it tastes identical to an IN-'N'-OUT burger. I gave it four stars for taste, but I would have given it three stars for overall value. A Vans burger is... More

The grilled hot dogs are to die for - have the dog with the works. Don't hesitate to try the "frings" either. Frings are a mix of onion rings and french fries (in the same bag). Erica at the grill and Kelsey at the window are an awesome combo. Check it out. You'll be back!

I took a chance and went to Van's Burger, I am glad that I did. They are a little on the expensive side but definitely worth it. The burgers were a good size and they actually grill the onions. The shakes were amazing. It has been several weeks since we went there and my kids are still talking about how... More

I have been a customer of Van's Burger ever since they opened over ten years ago. The owners are the best people you could ever want to meet -- they remember customer's favorites, pass out free puppy patties for the four legged friends, and always greet you with a hearty smile and a genuine warm welcome. As for the burgers... More

I'm sad vans isn't open all year but it makes it that much more special! The owners are friendly, and everything is GREAT! We're lucky to have friends that live out this way, but it's worth the drive none the less!

While the burgers are good, the "Dog with the Works" is out of sight! Hot dogs sliced in half and grilled, then smothered in BBQ sauce and cheese and topped with grilled onions. It just doesn't get any better. Also check out the coffee milkshake. Awesome!!! The crew is super and sitting at a picnic table overlooking the golf course... More
