Hey, it is a burger, and a damn good one! Sorry Moderne Burger, you are out! You can even order online and pick it up at nearest Vera's location. Awesome when you are planning to pig out at home while watching The Next Three Days with Russel Crowe (good movie btw; missing some six packs from Gladiator, but I'll forgive him)
Burger was juicy and pinkish in the middle, and all the add ons I ordered were there. My bf got the Vera's burger, and I got the natural beef burger. We also ordered onion rings and sweet potato fries. I don't even like onion rings, and these were truly something. I love the batter they use.
Sweet potato fries were delicious as well.
I tried to finish my portion, but I couldn't since the burgers are quite big. My bf was more than happy to do that for me.
Will definitely pig out on those burgers many happy years to come:D -

Love the burgers! They're huge and dripping, a great combo. They have all kinds of juicy gooey combinations. mmm... Shakes are good too.
This location is definitely a little shabby though. I recommend take aways. You can call in your order, wait time is over 10 minutes. -

This is a place that I was very much looking forward to going. I had heard many a great thing about their burgers. As much as I should not be eating the type they hype, "all the fat, etc" I wanted to give it a try as who does not love a good burger? The experience was sadly a horrible one, simply horrible.
* The incompetent person at the cash register had to have the order repeated over and over again until he finally understood. They were out of one of the toppings to boot at one in the afternoon.
* The quality of the food, while just as greasy as they advertise, was also very sub par. The meat was under cooked, the buns soggy and overall just unpleasant.
* My girlfriend ordered onion rings which she could not even finish as they tasted like soggy, chewy grease.
I heard so much about this place and if it had not been such an all encompassing bad visit I may chalk it up to the people who were working there at the time. I have not been to any other location of there's so this is really strictly for this one only. -

I tried it twice. Disappointed. Dry burger, old bun, soggy fries. Oh and staff who just did not seem to care. Also the presentation was very unattractive. Looked like they just tossed everything in a bag shook it up and put it in a basket. I wish I took a picture. Actually that was almost the best part of eating at this location. Laughing at the the horrible presentation...

I'm a burger guy. There is nothing I like more than a good burger! Vera's North Van is a huge disappointment. I've been to the one on Davies Street several times, and the service and food at that location was great!
The North Van Vera's is an embarrassment. I've tried it about 5 times in the hope they get some decent staff, but they don't seem to care.
They don't get your order right half the time, they are frequently out of ingredients (like tomatoes or fries), and almost every time, the patty is seriously dried out and overcooked (never once pink in the middle as advertised).
If you get a burger with fries and a drink, it's way too pricey, considering that sadly, McDonald's is a better bet.
I hope they fix the North Van location some day...I'd love to go there more frequently, but right now, it just feels like a rip-off. -

I'm a huge fan of Vera's and have been for years. My 2 favourite locations are in Kits and on Davie Street. I now live in North Vancouver and have the unfortunate honor of living near the WORST Vera's in town. As I can see from other (dissatisfied) patrons,I would have to agree that the staff there is completely incompetent. I think you should find some staff that actually cares about your establishment and the customers. I phoned in the last time ( which coincidentally will be the last time at this location) and ordered 2 burgers with only fried onions. The idiot man-child that works there kept asking if I wanted " the usual suspects", which includes about 5 toppings. I explained in plain English that I wanted 2 burgers with only fried onions on both. I didn't check my order at the restaurant ( big mistake) and found about 7 toppings on my burgers when I got home. I called back and spoke to the twit , he said " yeah I know..... Everything except fried onions!!!! Ooooooooooo FUNKY BOY!!!
PS - Vera's other locations are fantastic; I've been to at least 5 others and they're all superb!!!!
