1. Romer's Burger Bar
* New location - same food quality *
I wandered on down to the new 2nd location of Romer's since I have enjoyed the burgers I got at the original location: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
This new location is in a brand new development that looks like it is…More »
2. Splitz Grill
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P9
(604) 875-9711
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Finally one of the upscale burger places that actually delivers a decent burger! Since it was my first visit I stuck to the basic beef burger to make a fair comparison. But on future visits I'm definitely going to be exploring their lamb, bison,…More »
3. StackHouse Burger Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 2G6
(604) 558-3499
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
* Upscale White Castle *
I've passed by this burger spot many times without thinking too much about it. But I finally decided to step in and see how it compares.
I ordered the pancetta burger, which was described on the menu as, "6.5 oz local…More »

I'm going to have to give Marmalade an upgrade on the stars to a 4. But I should clarify and say… Read more »
5. Romer's Burger Bar
* Welcome addition to the Vancouver burger scene *
I've bitched and moaned about the low quality burgers at many of the burger "specialists" in Vancouver like Vera's (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) and Moderne Burger (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...).
So this…More »
6. Save On Meats
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G4
(604) 569-3568
* Good burger, the rest meh *
Recently I reviewed a Peruvian place in a car wash, and a cantina in a yoga studio. This is a dual purpose spot that perhaps makes a bit more sense - a diner in a butcher shop.
The butcher shop and diner have separate…More »
7. Bronco Belle
Vancouver, BC V6B 4N4
(604) 696-6088
* Toto, we ain't in Texas anymore! *
Ok, I have to admit I have been craving Texas BBQ lately. So I was drawn in entirely by the sign that read "Texas BBQ Foods." Woo hoo - smoked brisket here I come.
Not.
Wouldn't all ya'll (that is the plural of…More »
8. Artisan Eats Cafe & Fine Foods
* A wonderful little gem on top its high perch *
After a brisk uphill trail walk this was a wonderful spot to grab lunch. They have a nice variety of baked in house items as well as a full kitchen. They were touting their Artisan Burger as one of…More »
9. Triple O's
Vancouver, BC V6E 1W1
(604) 609-7000
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
* Almost free meal *
I was going to catch a movie at Scotiabank Theatre (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) and heard that Triple O has a deal that pretty much gives you an almost free meal with a movie ticket.
For $13.99 they give you a burger combo with…More »
10. Guu Garden
* Continues to be one of my favourite downtown spots for lunch *
Guu Garden just continues to impress me with their creative lunchtime offerings, which are fun, playful, extremely tasty, and very reasonably priced.
Today I ordered the "Beef donburi"…More »

* Creative bento *
One of the things I like about Guu Garden is how it is in the middle of downtown,… Read more »
11. Urban Burger - CLOSED
Cold weather brings out the caveman in me. I guess it is my natural instinct to get ready for hibernation. I would have clubbed a cavewoman and dragged her back to my cave, but I restrained myself and instead decided to get some meat.
I was happy…More »
12. Five Guys Burgers and Fries
West Vancouver, BC V7T 2W4
(604) 925-3483
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Ambleside
* Lost in translation *
I've heard from people down in the States that Five Guys was the be all and end all of burgers. So I had to check it out.
I think something was lost in translation as it crossed the border.
Some things translated just fine:
-…More »
13. Nimby Burger
* In-n-Out copy *
For those of you familiar with In-n-Out, this is a Canadian copy of it. Everything from the style of fries to the cardboard box that they throw the fries into to the way they wrap the burger in paper to the simplicity of the menu to…More »
14. Rod's Kitchen and Grill
* 4 star fries, 2 star burger *
Isn't it terrible when one part of an order is very good and the other is not? So disappointing, as it suggests there is potential that wasn't lived up to. :(
The fries were handcut and very good. Perfect doneness…More »
15. Mahony & Sons
* Truffled my a**! *
In this area of town the lunch time pickings are pretty slim. I popped into Mahony & Sons to grab a bite in the emptiness of culinary joy of the surrounding area.
It had been a long time since I was last here, and the menu has…More »
16. Ensemble Tap
Vancouver, BC V6Z 0A4
(604) 566-9770
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Low chef *
One of TOP Chef Dale McKay's places in town with a focus on pub food.
The feel of the spot reminded me of one of the large family chains like Earl's - very generic and very little character.
One of the staples of pub food is a burger, and…More »
17. Moderne Burger
I hate to rain on a 5 star parade. Didn't satisfy the caveman in me.
Ok, I love the fries here. They are freshly cut, cripsy, and just the right amount of saltiness.
The burger itself is just too thin though. The meat seems like a decent quality,…More »
18. The Red Onion Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6M 1Y8
(604) 263-0833
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Shaughnessy
* Burger fail *
I ordered their signature "Red Onion Burger" which is listed as 1/3lb all natural beef flame grilled, homemade mustard sauce, crisp lettuce, and fresh tomatoes for $8. $2.75 extra for fries.
What I got was this …More »
19. Sunset Burger
Vancouver, BC V6B 0G3
(604) 566-9949
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
* Typical medium food burger *
I wouldn't call this spot fast food. It is slightly above typical fast food in terms of quality. But not too far - and certainly not far enough to justify the pricing. The burger combo worked out to $11 with tax.…More »
20. Vera's Burger Shack
Their story: "You can't beat Vera's meat."
My version: "Let Vera beat her own thin shrivilled meat, and don't make me watch!"
Now that we've got the silly marketing out of the way, let's turn to the burgers. I've tried them a few times, and have…More »
21. Endless Summer
Vancouver, BC V6E 1T7
(604) 689-7800
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: West End
* End of summer? *
I wanted to get a good burger today and wandered over to Marmalade (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) and was surprised to see it had changed names to "Endless Summer."
The bulk of Marmalade's food was just ok, but they had an excellent…More »
22. Cat's Socialhouse
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S6

Categories:
Restaurants,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
"Meh" sums it up really well.
Had the hickory burger based on recommendations to try their burger, and my never ending quest for a good burger in Vancouver.
Sadly it disappointed:
- Patty was quite thin and overcooked for my taste.
- Tomato had…More »

"1. A product or service that is overpriced or of poor quality.
2. Something, such as a film or story, that is clearly imitative of or based on something else.
3. A theft.
4. An act of exploitation."
