Fatburger makes amazing, juicy cheeseburgers. They use fresh beef, no fillers, your choice of cheese, and only the freshest toppings. Their chicken burgers and wings are also top tier. My only critique is their hiring practices. It would be nice to see a restaurant hire outside of the Indian community for once. read more

This Fatburger is across the street from the No Frills I regularly shop at, so suffice it to say, I've passed it at least a gazillion times since I moved here. No exaggeration! I rarely eat burgers, so I've not gone in here before, but I occasionally got burgers at Fatburger when I lived in the Seattle area, years ago, and they always were pretty good. So I'm familiar with the brand. Tonight I was going grocery shopping with my kid, and I mentioned that I'd like to pick up dinner somewhere as I've been cooking a lot lately and I wanted to take a break from kitchen work. We tossed around a few ideas (poke? Chinese? Sushi? Tacos?) when, lo! and behold, the Fatburger sign glowed from afar, like the Star of Bethlehem, beckoning. Hamburgers! We both hadn't had burgers in eons; in my case, it had been at least 7 months since I had one and, yeah, that sounded pretty darn good! The parking lot here is wanky and tiny and we decided to walk over after our No Frills shopping. Inside, the restaurant is also small but it's clean, and there are a few wall-mounted tv's showing sports events. My kid and I ordered each a CB Deluxe burger and a small order of fries. OMG we both had forgotten how damn good these Fatburgers are! (We calculated that we last ate Fatburger burgers 9 or 10 years ago, in Seattle). Your burgers were cooked fresh on site, VERY generous portions, SO juicy and delicious, with maple bacon and just the perfect ratio and types of condiments. (My kid is very particular about condiment-to-protein ratios. Don't ask!). Super super good. And the fries! I am not usually a "fries" person. In fact, in years past, whenever we went to Fatburger in the States, I always got their onion rings (which were fantastic). But these fries were amazing: VERY hot, very crispy, not greasy at all, and the small size was actually huge (my kid IS a "fries" person and she said the small size here is the same as a generous medium or even a large order in other places. FYI). I was heartened to see that they still have milkshakes on their menu. We remembered their milkshakes as being fabulous back in the day. I'd imagine they still are. We got our order to take out. It took a while for them to make our food, but hey, it's all made to order, fresh, so the wait was worth it. Fancy or gourmet? Not at all. But good? Heck, yeah! read more

Walking home from the train station, I realized that I was starving and have not eaten since this morning. My neighbor introduced me to Fatburger and brought me here for lunch. I had always meant to return. I ordered a strawberry milkshake and cheeseburger with fries. The strawberry milkshake tasted fresh with a real strawberry flavor. The whipcream on top was also fresh and tasted like real whipcream. The fries were good. The fries were crispy and not greasy. The cheese burger was delicious with tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, relish, and cheese. It reminded me of the burgers my Dad made. They tasted homemade and wholesome. I devoured my meal quickly as I was starving. When I was here last time with my neighbor, I remember my meal was also delicious then too. Fatburger is clean. I like the playlist, and the songs were great for a Friday night. The staff are polite. There is a patio with tables and chairs occupied by more diners. Thank you to Fatburger for a great dining experience. read more

This time, we went big. And I mean BIG. I went for the 1/2 lb Kingburger and my buddy chose the double king. Yeap! That means two 1/2 lb patties, making it a full 1 lb burger. And oooooh, when you include the onion ring, which is free, it sure stacks up, especially when the staff played with my friend by giving him two onion rings piled up over the two patties, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, you get a 6 inch tall burger. What a sight! The best part? Why...the burger itself, of course. Soooo juicy. Soooo beefy. I like mine with double BBQ sauce. So between that and the oil from the burger, the juicy burger is absolutely succulent. The best thing about eating at Fatburger is nobody cares how messy you get. Some say the Chinese custom is the more messily you eat, the more you are enjoying the food. And enjoy we did. Their menu is getting better too. We'll be back! read more

Delicious, freshly made burgers. Small but cozy atmosphere. I do wish, though, that it wasn't called FATBURGER - which I find thoroughly off-putting. I can do without the reminder that it contains a gazillion calories. The Overweightea stores were wise enough to change their name to Save-On Foods. Smart move. read more

I came here to have milkshake and poutine. Milkshake was good but a little sweet and poutine was amazing as always!! I try to limit my fast food intake so deciding to go to Fat burger was a big deal to me. It was pretty busy right after I got my food, whew! Friendly staff. Will come back again. read more

Used to be a place to get big, decently priced burgers. Now days you can get better from McDonalds. The burger patties are thin, the buns are worse quality. And to top it off, they are charging more than ever for the sorry slop you'll be given. Place looks nice, mostly clean. read more

So called a healthy person craving for burger on weekend. Hmm... Besides Wendy's I found another good burger nearby me. It's small and cozy shop on Broadway and Alberta Street's corner. There are few parking spots in front of shop and a lot of meter parking around the block. The staffs were very friendly and efficient. I ordered mushroom burger with yam fries. OMG! What a GIANT burger! It made with real lean beef and mushroom when I ordered. The burger was juicy and delicious! Yam fries were tasty! Based on Fat burger nutrition chart, mushroom burger under 900 Calorgies and 60 gram fat! Sounds not bad and not feel guilty at all. Even though the burger price at expensive side, I would say it's worth it and get the stamp card for buy 6 get 1 free. read more

Fatburger - Hawaiian Burger THE BEST - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Came here after craving burgers. I'm from California and while I can't find an In N Out, Shake Shack, or any of the regular go-to's here, I was SO relieved to have found a Fatburger. Service was prompt and friendly without the common overdoing it some other places struggle with. One look at the menu and it was clear that there were several winners. We settled for the Mushroom Swiss and California burgers and after a short wait we were enjoying some of the best burgers around. Very pleased to be sharing our experience. This Fatburger on West Broadway is worth visiting when craving burgers or anything tasty for that matter. Their fries look amazing and I'll have to try them next time! read more

Fatburger - Mushroom Swiss Burger made to flavour-oozing perfection - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

A great burger, made with care! I placed the order online and headed over. I watched the kitchen, they were busy but the burgers are not slapped together. The burgers are assembled with care and made to order. The staff was cleaning and wiping down. My order was ready a full 10 minutes before I was emailed it would be ready. We enjoyed the mushroom Swiss burger, bacon cheddar burger, impossible burger and BBQ chicken burger and 2 large fries. Everything was hot and delicious. We'll be back. read more

Great burgers but certainly not your typical fast food joint. Burgers are made to order, when ordered so your burger is freshly cooked. You will have to wait for it, it's not too long but it's worth the wait. The fries are always hot, no need to ask for fresh cooked because they are when placed in your bag or on the tray if you are eating in. Give them a try, it took me far too long to try them. 4 stars only because the burger needs a little more seasoning for my taste. read more

1/2 pound King, with everything, was the best fast food burger I've ever had. Not sure how this chain doesn't receive more praise? I'm going back! read more

I know, it's a chain. But it's a GOOD chain, at least, I have no complaints. (I won't even bother to think about reviewing most of the other "fast food" burger chains, so you know this had to be pretty good for me to write about it). I've eaten at two different Fatburgers - one on West Broadway in Vancouver, one in Ladner - and I went away happy-happy-happy both times. At West Broadway, I opted for the double cheeseburger with onion rings. I practically inhaled it - it was juicy, thick, tasty - the rings were pretty darn good, too. For a drink, I sucked down one of their Mocha-Java shakes. Yummy! It was really thick. Was it as good as a "real" milkshake made in the old-fashioned steel mixing cups? Nah...but it was still pretty good. In Ladner, I picked the "build your own burger" option. I "built" a Mexi-burger, with guacamole, chili and pepperjack cheese. Better still! Since the rings didn't disappoint the previous time, they were heaped in my basket once again. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This time, I washed it down with an ice cold Corona. (Hey, I was doing Mexican, right?) This time, the Divine Ms. K. accompanied me, and she chose the chicken sandwich. She said it was "okay" but she didn't rave about it. That doesn't affect my ultimate rating though, because I figure if you go to a hamburger joint, you should probably order burgers. If you choose anything else, it's at your own peril. While there are a couple of other burger places I'd rather go to in the Lower Mainland, if I'm running around doing errands, I'm hungry and I'm near a Fatburger, there will be no hesitation on my part... read more

Fatburger - Juicy burger, tasty rings... - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I went here after work and was treated poorly in the beginning but I waited for the food anyway. I'm glad I didn't give this location a good tip because The cashier yelled "bad tip to the back as I walked to the outside where we await our food. Very disapointing. Who knows what that means right? At home the burger dripped with what looked like tonnes of water just picking it up and tasted liked it too with grease mixed in. And the box of wings was mashed in completly. I didn't have an appetite anymore. Not worth the extra money you pay to avoid another night of the common fast foods joints. Fat burger I downloaded the Yelp app for you. read more

This was my first Fatburger experience and it did not disappoint. I wasn't walking in expecting a gourmet burger, just something simple, quick and tasty on the way back. The burger and fries I had were definitely delicious. Everything was fresh. The one thing that stuck out to me was the diced relish they put on the burger. I'm not a big relish fan, but I may be now after that combination. My first time here and can't deny it hit the spot. read more

Came with a groupon and honestly, i don't find these burgers much different than any others. I am not a HUGE fan so might not be the best judge either but it tasted standard. Being a deal, it was a good price but I wouldn't return all the way to this location just to satisfy a burger craving. You do get to customize sauces and toppings to your liking though, but in a burger, it often just tastes like salt and ketchup. read more

This was the worst hamburger I've ever eaten. So bad I'd like my money back. I don't even want a credit do you have something different to eat there on another occasion. The chips were rock hard in the poutine. The gravy was gross. There was hardly any cheese... The burger tasted like cardboard. The Buns were burnt black. The cheese was a bizarre unusual colour that I've never seen and she is before. And it was the most expensive burger I've eaten too. $25 for a burger and poutine. I've had a significantly better burger at McDonald's for a lot less money. Disgusting read more

It's summer time, I crave a juicy burger with all the works. So I checked out my local Fatburger just opened not long ago. I ordered a single combo which comes fries and refillable drinks. I like the made to order burger and the no seed burger is the way I like it. Burger was juicy and the fries was made fresh and a refreshing drink of your choice to wash it all down. The only drawback was the price, $11 and change and it will be even more steep after HST come out in July. I think I will just save a few bucks and BBQ at home. read more

I've had better experiences at other Fatburger locations. My poutine was poor - the fries were underdone, skimpy serving of cheese curds, and the gravy was gloppy. My lettuce-wrapped burger was dry and seemed small. They did do a good job of the lettuce-wrapping though. read more

Baby Fat burger is enough for me. I like that the buns and all the toppings are the same, and only the patty is thinner. The fries are good. Thickness is close to Wendy's, but way more crispy and flavourful. I got the chili cheese fries this time, which were good but I think I like them by themselves better. Gravy available too. The lemonade was a bit too sweet, but one of the other choices was soda water. Nice. They make everything fresh, so you have to wait a bit. If you are eating, in, they will give you a number on a stand and will bring you your food. I think I may be more excited about the burger if I had it more recently, so I'll update if I go again. read more

Hamburger BLISS!!! Maybe a few others here have been disappointed by their Fatburger experience, but not this kid! I WAS expecting to be disappointed, so I guess the only thing I was disappointed by was the lack of disappointment by Fatburger. The burger was ever thing I would have wanted a burger to be, and is how I remember them being before every corner of every city was taken over by Micky D's, Burger King, DQ, and so on. I had a chocolate caramel swirl shake with my fries (the fries were NOT salty, which scores points with me big time). The shake was just like I remember them from 40 years ago, before they all became generic. LOVED THE SHAKE! It WAS pricy, as others have pointed out, but If one just goes for a burger and fries (the serving of REAL french fries - not the previously frozen kind -was huge), and I do believe that I got my money's worth. I'll be back, but not very often, as I want it to be just an occasional treat. This will be difficult, as the guy at the West Broadway location tells me that they are building a new Fatburger near King Edward and Lougheed, which is close and convenient for me (finally!). I guess it's partly in what you want a burger joint to be. For me, this is pretty much what I want a 'burger joint' to be. Could use a bigger parking lot, but it's not like that's going to happen here. I'll try the poutine next time. May 14, 2012 note: I'm downgrading this review from five stars to 'only' four stars, two weeks after posting it, as I had not yet been to Vera's Burger Shack when I wrote it. After eating a burger at Vera's, it would not be fair to give Fatburger (this location) five stars, as much as I enjoyed the food here. The burger that I had at Vera's Burger Shack (Fraser Hwy location) was the very best restaurant chain burger that I've ever experienced, BAR NONE! Here's the review for Vera's, the place that has now spoiled me for all others: http://www.yelp.com/review_share/Xm9UerkoTyWCRrncFEJ71g/review/jrCDMJMIYW-FcroBz7kwmQ?fsid=5rarXhglql6tO82c39A-xg read more

Fatburger - Hamburger Bliss! - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I hate giving a bad review, I can't think of anything positive to say about this place. Parking/location: There's a small lot in the front, located down Broadway in a sketchy area Ambiance: Felt cramped. Tables were very close together and not much space to walk. It was old, vinyl was cracked, and dirty. It smelled bad, like the placed hadn't had a shower in a long time. There were "funny" posters and signs, one referring to a swear word. I'm probably more sensitive than most because I have a kid, but this place seems more crass than the Fatburgers I've been to in the US. The music that was playing reflected that crassness. I was desperately hoping my son wasn't listening to the lyrics that were playing. Food: The fries tasted undercooked - there was a slight raw taste to them. The burgers were okay (we got the cheeseburger fat burger), nothing special, but there were a ton of pickles in them in addition to relish and it was just too sour for me. Recommendation: I'm definitely not going back, try the other burger joints down the road. read more

My husband bought a groupon for Fatburger ($8 for $16 worth of food), so we decided to check it out when we were in the area. Before I went to Fatburger, I had nothing but awful stereotypes in my head. Why else would you go to a place called Fatburger unless you wanted a 1200+ calorie filled grease monstrosity? In fact, this stereotype is the reason I never went, until a few days ago. The restaurant is really small, for starters. There's only 3 or 4 parking spaces in front for customers in a sea of reserved parking spots. We had to park over a block away in order to go here. This wouldn't be an issue if you took public transit, but with a car it's a bit of a headache. It's also a bit inconvenient that the menu board and cash register are located right in the entrance, because people have to constantly shove by those waiting in line to get pop/grab seats/get condiments/etc. There's a decent amount of counter seating and tables inside given the size of the restaurant, but we opted to sit on the roomier patio. I guess you can't change the size of the space you're given, but I felt awful that I was in everyone's way. Unlike my stereotype, Fatburger actually has a few healthier options on the menu. I opted for the grilled chicken burger with the works. They also have turkey burgers if chicken isn't your forte. I ordered the burger as a combo with fries and a diet coke. The burger was surprisingly very delicious. It wasn't greasy, and there was just the right amount of toppings. Unlike my husband's burger, they didn't wrap my burger with a secondary wrapper to keep all of the toppings in, so a lot of them fell out. They should do the wrapping for all burgers ordered, not just the hamburgers. The french fries on the other hand are crispy and also not greasy. They reminded me of the well done french fries at In-and-Out burger in California. Minus space issues, the one thing that keeps me from recommending Fatburger is the price point. For two burger combos, the total cost was $26, including tax. Now, we had the groupon, so we actually only paid $18. While it was a great meal, I feel $13 is overpriced for a take-out burger and fries. I'm really glad I tried Fatburger to break the stereotype, but I can't give Fatburger the 4 stars I feel the food deserves. read more

The last great hamburger stand? I think not. Had the California and Mushroom Swiss. Both meh and missing some major flavour. Real legit quality beef does not taste like that. Toppings are unexciting, even though these are specialty "gourmet" burgers. The Groupon deal made it an okay value, definitely would not have paid full price. It certainly cannot touch Five Guys, like not even close! I feel bad for saying this, but I might actually prefer a Big Mac... Limited seating inside and quite cramped overall. Small heated covered outdoor patio. Remember to tip a little as the servers do bring the food to your table. read more

The burgers are cooked to order which can make the wait for your meal seem long compared to other place. They close at early which we found strange but maybe it was just this location. All in all good burger for sure read more

*Sad Trombone* This afternoon we grabbed some Fatburger Take-away for lunch - 2 veggie burgers and one traditional meat burger for our carnivorous pal.The fries were absolutely yummy, but the burgers themselves were a big sad face - sloppy toppings in a flaccid bun, with the strangest cinnamon-y flavour! We eventurally determined that the strange, almost Moroccan flavour was the relish and pickles - aboslutely offputting in the burgers. We all wrinkled our noses and scraped it off. :( For the hefty price I was not impressed by the lank iceberg lettuce shreds, the flavourless half-green tomato slice and the PROCESSED cheese slice - What the Eff?! We won't be heading here again. read more

It was nice to see Fatburger in Vancouver, but it's just not the same as it is in the US. I miss the option of Fat Fries! It's a solid burger option, but I can't help but compare it to my favourite (Vera's). Good enough if you're really hungry, but surprisingly expensive. Food is made fresh, and the staff is friendly - the restaurant is quite small, so seating can be a problem when it's busy. It's .. a burger joint. Not the best, not the worst. It just is. read more

I have decided to upgrade my rating for this location for a few reasons. First, the quality of food really is great. Fresh (not frozen), well-seasoned patties, meticulous dressing and presentation of the burgers, delicious and perfectly crispy fries, rich and delicious shakes. Plus rotating specials and customisable burger topping choices. Second, the service. The staff at this location are some of the hardest working and attentive people I've ever come across in any restaurant. These people really care about their jobs and making sure their customers are satisfied. They're fast, efficient, friendly, and fun! And they keep the restaurant impeccably clean and organised. And finally, the consistency. The Fatburger locations I've been to in Vancouver are all extremely consistent in the things I've mentioned above. It is for these reasons that I think the higher-than-other-fast-food prices are worth it. The location, however, still sucks, the parking still sucks, and the seating options are not that great. If not for these things, this Fatburger would have 5 stars from me for sure. read more

I've decided I don't like the hamburgers at this place. It's not that they're bad, they're just not special and thus not worth the price. However, their Southern Fried Chicken burger is excellent. Crunchy, juicy and cooked fresh. It has just the right amount of toppings so it wasn't an awful mess to eat. I had yam fries with my meal and I found them to be decent enough. They didn't feel greasy and were nice and crispy. Parking is kind of meh here with only 4 spots and they have very little seating capacity. The washrooms were clean though which is a good sign. read more

Tried the chicken tenders. Usually skip these in favour of burgers, but Fatburger's tenders weren't dry at all, nice and moist despite being white meat. A pleasant surprise. Also a pleasant surprise was the service, extremely courteous, cheerful, and helpful for a fast food place. A nice touch. Will return when I'm nearby. Pro tip: look for their frequent Groupons, they've done a number of these and they're good value, though selection will of course be more limited vs the a la carte menu. read more

I went to Fatburger for a little Sunday grease after a Saturday night out. I actually enjoy it. Maybe because personally I don't like my patties to be too big, nor the burger too big to fit in my mouth at these specialty burger joints. (Vera's, Splits, Modern Burger). Of course the burger is freshly made, and my topping were also fresh. The spices were not overpowering, and they did not load it up with too much salt. I hate restaurants that use too much salt to boost up taste. Why else do I prefer Fatburger? 1) The little TV's to keep you entertained while you eat. (but i think it was designed for little kids as a cartoon was showing when I was there). 2) Complimentary newspaper to read, (and its pages are not greased up from the previous reader). 3) How they wrap your burger (think donair style) so the toppings don't slip out at the bottom when you bite into it. Also, I appreciate their exta industrial strength hood vents and air circulation. Any burger spot that makes fresh burgers usually have a lot of grease and scent in the air (if you barbeque a lot, you'll know what i mean) - but here I didn't walk out smelling like a burger. |n addition, they claim to use the leanest beaf and they also have veggie burgers, turkey burgers for the non-converted. Only knock is that, as in previous posts, the pricing is on the 'over' side, but nothing too outrageous when you compare to Vera's or Splitz. read more

It wasn't the best burger I've ever had nor was it the worst. Definitely way above McDonald's but not quite up there with vera's or even whitspot (gotta love that triple o sauce). It definitely did satisfy my hunger and craving for a burger after a long rollerblading session around the sea wall. The location is great and the restaurant itself has an old school diner feel to it. I ordered the original fat burger which came with a 6oz pattie that was grilled nicely. It tasted like it had come off of a bbq. I didn't want to bastardize it too much, so I only added some cheddar cheese, so I could really taste the burger meat. It was topped with fresh lettuce and tomatoes, onions, ketchup and mustard. I haven't eaten at McDonald's in years (other than a mcflurry every so often) and I don't plan on eating there ever again, so this place is definitely a good replacement. St3Fin read more

This isn't a review on this specific location, just Fatburger in general. I went with a groupon since it claimed to be the last great hamburger stand. More like one of many adequate stands.

Ok after driving or walking by this Fatburger and the one down in English Bay so many times I finally decided I wanted to try it. Honestly, mostly because of the name. I just wanted to eat at a place called "Fatburger", haha. So I recently decided to try the one on Broadway out for lunch. I went again a little while after that as well. The first time I had a limited time special that had for a pulled pork burger/sandwich. I went back again to try the basic original burger. Well, the burgers are not bad, pretty good for sure compared to the usual fast food joints (McD, BK, etc). However, it's too pricey. It's like 14-15 dollars for a combo! Vera's and Moderne Burger are better burgers so those will be my future choices. I will say that both times the staff were super friendly for sure. I liked that. The little tv's are cool too. read more
