I`m from Toronto and I haven`t tasted a burger like this down there (and believe me I have looked!). This thing is big, mean, juicy and delicious. We're still talking about the burger. The fries are pretty darn good as well. Paired with the burger and coke it is a spectacular combination that will leave you stuffed.
They are definitely doing something right here. Now if only there was something like this in Toronto to satisfy my burger cravings. -

Vera's easily gets my vote for best burger in Ottawa! Really, really great with nice fresh meat and toppings. The fries are pretty good too but I always find that fries cooked in peanut oil taste, well, like peanuts
If they served Shakes, Vera's would be be untouchable!

A few of us recently did a Ottawa burger showdown to declare the best burger joint burger in town. A few lazy Yelpers (I'm hoping they review) were along for the showdown. Our list included Hintonburger, Veras and Five guys. Our burger baseline would be a burger with a slice of cheese, lettuce, tomato and a few condiments of your choice. We omitted bacon because Hintonburger has to way awesome of bacon.
After an afternoon of driving around Ottawa we came to the conclusion that Vera's had best quality meat but lost out a close hard fought battle to Hintonburger.
It was real funny, while we were in here some people heard about our trek and wanted to join. We also ran across a waitress from The Works who asked us why we didn't include the works and agreed with our assessment. It was a good fight Vera's!Listed in: Ottawa: Cheap Eats, Ottawa: BURGERS!!!

Today I visited The Butchery on my lunch break with my girlfriend. She recommended this place, and said that she had eaten there before, and the burgers are awesome.I could not resist, and said "I'M ALL FOR IT!"
Upon walking in, there right side is the butcher, and the left is prepared foods and a small restaurant.
The best part is filling out the sheet when you order you'r food. You can go a bit crazy on the toppings, since they offer a lot of choices and variety.
My girlfriend got a beef burger all dressed. I got the chicken burger with mayo, lettuce, onions, hot peppers and pickles on the side. We both got fries and a drink. Total came to 12 bucks.
There are seats in the corner of the store to sit and enjoy your meal. Unfortunately it does get a bit crowded and a tad uncomfortable because the seats are next to the stores exit and cash register. They offer stools to sit on. I personally prefer having a back on my chair, so I can really relax on my lunch break, but that is something that will not stop me from coming back, just a personal preference.
Our order took about 7 minutes to be prepared. Everything was cooked to order, which is great, I do not mind waiting for freshly made food. When you'r order is ready, they call your name and you go and get it. I find that cute.
My girlfriend enjoyed her burger like usual, and I enjoyed my chicken burger.The chicken burger was fried, and did not offer a grilled chicken burger option. The hot pepper rings that were on my burger were thick and really tasty. The fries were freshly cut, and resembled the fries from a chip wagon, which are the BEST! The pickles are the "restaurant style" pickles that are also, my favorite. I believe they sell jars of them there too, but did not have the time to look around to pick up a jar.
Just a side note, they do wear gloves when preparing your order. They had three men working the restaurant. One was working just the cash, the other was cooking the food, and the last employee was putting the burgers together. It looked like the owner/manager was in as well, which usually is a good sign. The place seemed to be running very smoothly.
Overall, I will definitely be back to this restaurant and will probably pick up some meats next time I visit, and of course, cannot forget the jar of pickles. -

It's a little hard to spot at first, but it's worth looking for. Tucked away inside The Butchery, they run a pretty good burger stand. For about $12, you get a really good-sized burger, fries, and a soda. To order your burger, there's are pencils and order forms, where you pick out what you want on your burger, give the slip of paper to the cashier, and wait for them to call your order.
Make sure you come hungry!! As I mentioned above, the burgers are very good-sized!!Listed in: Food, eh?!

Tried Dick's Dairy Dip today. Fries and milkshakes are great --- and they do have better seating, but Vera's burgers are better!
