1. Romer's Burger Bar
If it's Easter Sunday and In-N-Out happens to be closed the day that you return from Cali to Vancouver, I have decided that Romer's is a pretty good second choice.
The burgers are huge, gluttonous and decadent. One great thing is that they are open in…More »
2. Burger Heaven
Finally, another good burger place to add to my burger list! And if not for the grumpy waitress, it might even be a five by Canada's standards, at least.
All of the burgers are huge and tasty. There is even a double-deckered grilled cheese burger that…More »

Oh great, another review of a chain restaurant; but wait!
Since today is Superbowl Sunday, if you are looking for the no-brainer place in Sogra, this is still one of the best picks (if not the best) for: calamari, mini burgers, big screen tv's and a…More »

I still think that the service and food deserve a five. The fried skinless chicken burger and fries were amazing. The salad was delicious, especially with the fried onions that DM is known for.
But upon returning to the restaurant after it has had…More »

I've been eating here since it opened, but never got around to the review. But how could I forget about crave?
Some notables:
The patio-quaint, quiet, and absolutely lovely on a warm day. (In back, in case you thought that the front one was the only…More »

Vancouver, BC V6J 1C6
(604) 738-3888
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Well, I am not sure why I still eat burgers in BC, but my fries were old and the container was only 3/4 full. I didn't ask for more, as quite frankly, I didn't need them. The counter girls are still nice, but whatever. They ration their ketchup, to…More »

I shoulda listened to Daniel L.'s update on this one. He is so wise. :)
Totally cute place. (5) Great service at the bar. (4) I knew to avoid the Reuben from other Yelpers. Thx. guys!
Burger was fine; decent sized for a chick, (not sure that a big guy…More »

8. White Spot Restaurants
While I didn't actually eat here this time, they topped off my gc no prob! (See my Broadway review where they didn't know how.)
They knew what they were doing, they were efficient, and they knew basic Math! Yay.

First time to Fatburger? 200th review? Talk about anti-climactic.
Given the anti-burger flavour of Vancouver and my quest for a delicious burger, I didn't think that this place would pass at almost $17 for a small milkshake, onion rings and…More »

Yep, actually reviewing this place (sigh).
One of the better patios around with free parking there or close by. Was one of the best/available/accommodating game choices during our crazy play-off time--believe it or not...pre-riots, of course.
Food is…More »

Always consistent service and food and friendly staff.
Many people forget about the patio upstairs. It's in the shade, but it's nice to go in the evening when there isn't any sun. And since it's upstairs you don't notice the Broadway "traffic" as…More »

For my very first yelp review, sadly, I'm going to begin with "I wanted to like this place."
I went in here for lunch. We had only an hour. We had great seats. Apparently, two of the waitstaff didn't show up. So we waited and waited before we were…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 2A3
(604) 681-8034
White Spot is really just a 2.5, and I have decided that I only return here for nostalgic reasons. The fries are fine, the zoo sticks with their non-descript looking sauce are delish, and the service was great, actually. We had an awesome "view" of…More »

Surrey, BC V4A 4N3
(604) 536-3121
This is the best WS that I've found as of late, but due to W. Spot's outrageous prices for the quality these, days, I can't really give it a 4. In fact, I only opted to dine at a WS again as I had received a gc from head office, due to some bad…More »

Ugh. Avoid like the plague.
Yes, they were packed, (which I guess, is a good thing) but they would not top up my gift card because I had purchased it at a different WS? (I wanted to INCREASE the amount, not decrease it) What the? So, let me get this…More »

I returned with a big group since I thought that I'd give this place another chance. Service was okay, but we ordered our meals ahead of time, once again. The appetizers arrived almost as soon as we did, which was great since everyone was starving!

Have you ever been eating something with a group of people and you had to attempt to discreetly spit it out in a napkin since it was so gross and STALE?

This place seems to do well only because there is nowhere else for the locals to turn. Well, that's what brought me here, anyway.
I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was already terrible, but 14 dollars made it taste even worse. It actually tasted…More »

While the service was good, this was the worst burger, onion rings and milkshake of my entire life.
MacDonalds and White Spot are five stars compared to this. I am not kidding. The burger was worse than what I imagine I'd find at Costco; the onion…More »
21. Fiamma Burger
Great place to stop in Bellingham especially if you've ever been stuck at the God-awful Bob's.
Fast and efficient but leaving their doors open on a cool day was not so "cool" in my books.
Loved the fact that you can get fries and ORs in smaller sizes…More »
22. In-N-Out Burger
Best In-N-Out I've experienced in CA, as of late. It's not only great INTO Sonoma, it's awesome OUT of Sonoma on your way to the airport. There is no way we could have made our flight and stopped at one of these establishments any later in the day!

While the burger is certainly good, it is so thick that the grocery store bun falls apart, as others have suggested. A leetle disappointing and I don't agree with Jacob. (sorry Jacob). I guess that's why the place is all "larger" male patrons. No…More »
