After passing this burger place a gazillion times (at least!), both on foot and in my car (I live nearby), I FINALLY got to visit! And it was great! Backstory: I have a burger about once a year. Usually I get one when I visit my kid in Portland; she has a Burgerville near her, and that's my go-to burger place. Well, I've not been to the USA in a long time (elbows up!), and I was hankering for a burger the other night. My other kid and I decided to walk here for a later dinner. I checked online and was impressed to see that this place was open late ('til midnight, I recall). Bonus! So off we walked, on a rare, dry April evening. We were impressed by how large the interior was. The place stretched south, alongside Granville, in addition to its street facade alongside Pacific. We loved the exposed ceiling pipes (we dig the industrial aesthetic), as well as the vibrant Monzo mural and the illuminated magenta recessed dining area (kinda like a semi-private area, if you have a group of friends with you. This recessed area has booths and its own wall-mounted tv. Very cool). My kid and I were escorted to a booth along the Granville window wall. Unfortunately, we missed their happy hour window (next time!), but we were impressed by the variety of foods and drinks on their menu. I had thought they only had burgers here. Oh how wrong I was! There were all sorts of pub-like far, including chicken wings and chicken strips, and a salad or two, and lots of different sides. But of course, they are known for their burgers. Oh, and they have lots of milkshakes, too, and "boozy milkshakes" as well. We opted for a cheeseburger with bacon, onion rings, and my kid got a soft-serve ice cream with fudge hot sauce on it. WOW. the burger was fabulous: the beef patties were compressed like pancakes (smashed?), and the bacon and Monzo sauce was all delicious, as was the soft potato bun. It was very messy, but good. And the onion rings were some of the best I've had : totally NOT greasy, and a good portion (more than enough for two people to share). My kid loved her ice cream, too. Service was awesome. We had a lady and a guy serving our table and both were friendly and attentive. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars: the didn't have Diet Coke here (boo! Why have only regular Coke and Coke Zero but not its bestseller Diet Coke? Makes no sense). And, there was some paper trash on the floor under our booth and the booth beside us (for the most part, the place was clean, but you couldn't miss the used napkins and wrappers on the floor). But the food was super good here, and the people, super nice, and I thought the prices were reasonable. We will be back! read more

It's a very modern space, almost too big or awkwardly constructed around the ground floor storefront. But the food is excellent. The burgers and fries are very good; it's not fast food quality, and if you come during their Happy Hour, you get a bit of a discount. The milkshake is also highly recommended. Service the both times I've been was terrific. read more

Smash burger lovers, this one's for you. I finally tried Monzo Burger in downtown Vancouver, and it's hands down the best smash burger I've had in the city so far. Juicy, crispy, flavour-packed perfection. We got: King Monzo: double patty, American cheese, all the classic toppings + onion rings ($16 + $7) The Wrangler: double patty, Swiss, bacon, jalapeños, charred onions, BBQ sauce + beef fat fries ($18 + $5) Everything hit. Open daily from 11am till midnight. You seriously don't want to sleep on this place. Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Parking (paid street parking around the block) Ambiance 5/5 read more

This was my first time trying a Smash Cheeseburger. I liked it. .....but that's where it ends. The style of this place is very confusing. We walked in and expected a fast food joint. Were greeted by a very friendly host who sat us in a very large place. Take a fast food restaurant add a diner to it and extend a lounge style club at the end of the floor plan and that's the space. The message, vibe and overall energy was....well...puzzling. I didn't know what it was..... Also where we were sat there was spilt fries and leftover food on the ground to yet have to be cleaned .....not exactly appetizing. The cheeseburger/hamburger were both fine. The glass of $4 Coke slightly overpriced. I mean....c'mon it's Coke....not like there's Rum in it...moving on.... What really let it down was the Yam Fries and Onion Rings situation. Here's why... On the menu it says Sweet Potato Fries and based on that I decided to get....Sweet Potato Fries....why? Well....guess why....because I wanted...what?....Yup...Sweet Potato Fries. Long story short...I got Yam Fries...I told them....they said it's the same thing. Since I was in no mood to give a lecture on the difference between Yams and Sweet Potatoes I let it go. What made it even worse is the Yam Fries were terrible. They were cold and limp. The only thing cold and limp that's acceptable are elastic bands. The Onion Rings. I don't know what it was but it wasn't onion rings. Yes it was deep fried. Yes there was a filling, but it didn't taste or look like onions. Most of both the Yam and Onion Rings were left behind and considering how small their Smash Burgers are....We had to make alternate dinner plans. This was a fail as we were there for Dinner. read more

Very clean and sheek interior, retro diner style decor. Had the king monzo burger that was huge and the fries were salted and perfectly crisp. The burger tasted freshly made to order and had just enough toppings. Ordered the strawberry blonde cocktail, it was delicious and refreshing (tasted of carbonated fizz with strawberry puree). Definitely hefty portion sized. Loved the convenient location right in central downtown. read more

Vibes are great. The ambiance is fun and colourful. It's laid back, casual but not run down. The service is great. The staff we interaxted with were wonderful and so patient. The food was BOMB. Combos are SO filling. I didn't even finish my fries. Found the King Monzo a bit too greasy for my liking but I HIGHLY recommend the chicken burger. Better than the beef burgers, not gonna lie. Also, get a milkshake. The strawberry milkshake did not taste artificial. It was absolutely delicious (might be the best I've had in Vancouver). read more

Delicious burger, delicious fries. The vibe of the restaurant is colourful diner style which fits the burger aesthetic. Service was friendly and we didn't wait too long for our burgers. Only downside would have to be the price of the burgers.. it was expensive for a burger. Maybe not a burger to get all the time, but once in a blue moon as a treat is great! read more

Great vibe, great food, ambiance at Monzo is awesome and the service is next level. Big shoutout to Owen he's an absolute legend! the managers are always around and genuinely happy to help. The concept is fun, simple, and done right. And honestly... best smashed burger in Vancouver no question read more

Never eat here the food looks good but ive been in the bathroom for 30 fucking minutes

We decided to try this place because someone at pride gave us a BOGO ticket. The space is super cute, very vintage diner energy. The menu is small and perfect. But overwhelming. My mom had the cheese burger and I had the chicken Milano. The burger was pretty good. If you like smash burgers I'm sure you'll like it. I thought the chicken sandwich was pretty good too. Nothing that I could imagine myself craving, but it was decent and had cute vibes. My mom also got done onion rings that I didn't like. They were like PNE onion rings. A&W makes waaay better onion rings. They do have a cocktail menu, which is cute. I could see how ppl would find it expensive, but I think I'm just used to our prices at this point. For the cheese burger, chicken burger, onions and 2 drinks with the 1 burger being free it was still $50. I would take off another star for the bathroom bring dirty and out of toilet paper, but as soon as we told them they rushed to clean it. Also the manager stopped by the table to ask how everything was which was nice. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place, but I wouldn't tell people to avoid it earlier. I'd eat here again if I happened to be near by and wanted something to eat, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it either, since it is in an awkward inconvenient location (under the Granville street bridge) read more

Ehhhh. As an American I was kind of looking forward to a great meal especially for that kind of price that they charge. But did not meet my taste expectations. Service was PHENOMENAL. But the food is quite mediocre. Probably the most pricey burger and fries i have ever paid . The Habit and In n out burger in America are much cheaper and DELICIOUS. read more

Food is always cold , bang average it's sad the staff are lovely struggling to find a good burger spot in Vancouver but this place over priced burgers have changed quality but spending $70+ on a meal for 2 and it arriving in disgusting format is horrible a vibe for giving you colon cancer alrignt but if your hungry for hot food steer clear read more

We live nearby and are excited to see a new and fun looking restaurant in our neighbourhood. We came here for an early dinner around 1530 on a Sunday a couple of weeks ago. The decor of the restaurant is very delightful and the service was very friendly and they were constantly seeking feedback which is great for a new restaurant. My husband and I both ordered the Monzo Classic Single, fries, and an apple hand pie. If the fries were less salty, it would allow the flavour of the potato and beef tallow to shine. The beef patty in the burger is quite thin so it is more like a slider to me. I'll probably get a double next time. The hand pie was quite good. It came piping hot. Similar to the fries, if less sugar or sweetner were used, it would allow the flavour of the apple to come through. read more

This place just opened up - Grand Opening Sept 9th. Seems like they already have a strong reputation and PR team, so here's an unbiased and unsponsored review: Summary: 6/10 food 9/10 service 8/10 vibes Initial thoughts when I walked in: I loved the bright orange ambience and modern diner decor. I was greet by two friendly staff members, and taken to a booth seat. I originally thought it was going to be more of an order at the counter, then grab a seat sort of thing, but I was pleasantly surprised by the hospitable service. To be fair, I went a day after grand opening so everyone was at peak performance. Great service and welcoming so far. Food: King Monzo ($18) substitute lettuce wrap (+$2): I wanted less carbs, so I opted for the lettuce wrap. King Monzo comes with a double patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and signature burger sauce. Pretty normal burger, nothing outstanding, but nothing bad. The Wrangler ($18): Definitely the first thing I noticed was how small this burger was, as the most expensive burger on the menu. It comes with house BBQ sauce, aioli, onions, swiss cheese and spicy pickled jalapenos. BBQ was pretty good, not too heavy and on the sweeter side. The saviour was the jalapenos. Bacon was pretty bad, sort of tastes like pre-cooked bacon (chewy texture, not very flavourful). Soft bun. Overall was decent, but also on the underwhelming side given the higher price point and size. Beef Fat Fries ($5): Thin cut fries were oily, but crispy and flavourful. Vanilla Milkshake ($8): It's basically a cup of cold milk, with creamy vanilla icecream on top. I personally prefer a chunkier milkshake with more texture, so I wasn't a huge fan of the softserve. I won't penalize it since that's more of a personal preference. Overall, I'd say the food was average but the vibes and service were good. It's on the pricier end, so I guess it depends on what you're looking for. If you want a more comfortable burger/diner experience, I could recommend this place, but I have to say I wasn't super impressed or blown away by the food itself. It's also on the pricier side for this type of food. I think it would be a disappointingly expensive experience if I got this as a take-out meal. The staff and fun interior definitely saved this place. read more

Simple menu, decent burgers. Popped in for a burger after a run and it was good, not great. We shared a King Monzo combo with vanilla milkshake and beef tallow fries + the Chicken Milano burger. Good amount of food for two - didn't need a second portion of fries. The King Monzo is a standard double patty cheeseburger. Nothing standout about it, but all the ingredients tasted fresh and the patty was well made. The Chicken Milano consists of a cutlet of breaded chicken, layered arugula, and a garlic aioli sauce. It's flavourful, but maybe a little dry. Warm and welcoming staff were great! The place felt very relaxed with a classic diner style vibe going on. read more

Monzo Burger is located at Vancouver House underneath the Granville Bridge - north side. Today over a 1000 burgers were given out for free in preparation for the official opening on 09Sep. For a free burger, it was surprisingly very tasty & good despite it looking all squished up. Despite the odd look as though it was a breakfast sandwich bun, I really enjoyed it. I really do love Smash Burgers & then some. To truly gauge Monzo Burger, I am excited to go back & try Monzos other burgers. This is a Milan flavour inspired restaurant. Monzo Burger is part of the unique - Kitchen Table Group - of restaurants, so you just know that it's in great company. The menu is quite vast with many options - burgers, shakes, sides, beer, wine & cocktails, desserts - please do have a look at my menu pix. The exterior of Monzo Burger is obviously pleasing to the eye especially because of its connection to the new Vancouver House high rise. The interior is swanky in a bright colour scheme with a high ceiling. Plenty of seating is available. Bellissimo. Times are fast changing in Metro Vancouver. There was a time when the only option for burgers was via Fast Food chains. However, over the last few years consumers tastebuds, choices & preferences have helped usher in a competitive food market especially when it comes to smash burgers. Will the uptick in smash burger spots take away from the Fast Food market? Probably not, but it will put a dent in it. The Smash Burger war continues to heat up in Metro Vancouver - brace yourselves. Heads up Alert - there's a boatload of construction going on here at the north side of the Granville Bridge. This will be ongoing with major traffic disruptions occurring over the next few years. Plan accordingly if you are driving here. Mangiare. Molte Grazie. read more

Burgers were good - nice crispy crust- but the options are less than stellar. Very basic menu options and the taste was good but nothing to write home about. Service was also a bit strange as napkins weren't given, had to be requested, then doled out sparingly read more

Had a great experience here! Our waiter was nice knowledgeable. It's a little on the pricier side for burgers/fries - but honestly it was really good and satisfying. Everything tasted fresh! The kids chicken tenders had like a mustard taste and were really thin. Our kids were not big fans of it. The overall atmosphere was modern and fun! We came on a weekday so it was empty. Lots of space for kids to run around read more

Outstanding smash burger, friendly service and good vibe. If you're into smash burgers, check it out. If not, you may not "get it". read more

Monzo Burger - Smash burger - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I wanted to like it more than I did and walked away feeling meh about it. The space is colorful and filled with music, a great energy. Service was prompt and friendly, they really wanted to make sure you had everything you needed. Sadly, there are better places to get a delicious burger IMHO. I had the classic and it's overpriced for what I received. The patty is pressed so thin that it's maybe half a centimeter thick ... which creates a crispy edge but also a dry leathery patty. The bread to meat ratio is off. Not satisfying. The fries are cooked in beef tallow which adds so much flavor but unfortunately they were also heavily salted (fingers coated in salt) that it ruined them for me. Everything tasted like salt. The apple hand pie (also cooked in beef tallow) is pretty good. I like the pastry and apple filling. It came heavily coated in sugar/cinnamon which made it super sweet as the filling is also super sweet. It need some tart contrast to make it worth reordering again. Everything tasted like sugar. read more

Solid spot for a quick bite! Was craving a burger and fries and finally tried out Monzo. They recently started a happy hour menu so I got their hamburger ($6) and beef fat fries ($4). Pretty decent and tasty! The server was super nice and the space is aesthetic and spacious. read more

I dropped by late afternoon a on a Thursday. The restaurant wasn't busy and had a lot of seating. I liked the bright space and the modern diner vibe. They also had tasteful chill house music playing lightly in the background. Staff was friendly and attentive. I got a Pinanaro Combo (add fries and beer) with the King Monzo burger and the Monzo Temporary Pilsen. The beer was okay, it was light and crispy. The fries was crispy and not too oily. Although I enjoyed the burger, I wouldn't say it was anything special and I thought was priced a little high for what it was. I thought the patties were cooked well, but burger came together like it was slightly elevated Big Mac. Overall, it wouldn't be my go-to for a burger. But can see the university students wanting to hang out here with friends after class or something because the spot seems hip and cool. read more

The only thing that I enjoy here is the King Monzo and sometimes the service. The meat to burger ratio is off, that is why we only order the King Monzo (double patty) with onions, pickles and lettuce. I can understand how people are giving this place a low rating especially if you've only had the single patty burgers which I found dry and thin and the price point. The service is a hit or miss. We've been here 10+ times, we had times when we were not greeted or addressed and there were times they made us stand and wait to be seated when there were tables available. 5/5 stars King Monzo (comes with soft sesame bun, the meat to bun ratio is perfect with 2 patty's and the tomatoes, onions, pickles and lettuce + their version of a Big Mac sauce make it juicy) 1/5 stars for the Shakes (runny) 1/5 stars for the hamburger (dry, meat to bread ratio is off) 4/5 stars for fries 3/5 stars for the Chicken Milano (chicken is bit dry but the flavour is food) If you like Big Mac's, I would highly recommend the King Monzo since it is an elevated version with higher quality ingredients. read more

I have high expectations for kitchen table restaurants and this joint is cute, fun and fresh. However, I will say upon taking a bite of the king monzo burger my partner remarked: "this tastes how I remember a Big Mac tasting" the burgers are good, but to me the flavor was quite reminiscent of In and Out. The fries are incredible and the tiramisu boozy milkshake was SO DELICIOUS, but far too expensive. Erin was absolutely wonderful and very attentive to our table which was wonderful! I'd say overall the atmosphere and service is wonderful, but the food isn't the best. Definitely cute but not entirely worth it. read more

After seeing Monzo burger do their advertising for the past 6 months, and the hype has FULLY died down, I have chose to come drop by for a burger and fries on my own, after a weekend of shenanigans. I was in the area anyway and I have always wanted to check out their version of a burger and tbh, it was quite delectable. I love the décor of the restaurant, and they really did the whole waitress service thing, just like in the 80s, but the only thing missing would be the waitress on little roller blades. Other than that, I love the place a lot! The servers were nice and friendly, and so attentive, they filled up my large water cup like 3 time. And the wait for the burgers weren't long, the kitchen knew what they were doing. The burger though, wasn't anything special, their special house sauce was literally just ketchup, mayo and a little relish in it. It was like any burger sauce I have had before. The char on the burger patty doe was decent. As a person who loves a good flat patty, this needed a bit more char for my liking. The fries were off the hook though. They were the small cut potato fries, but they tasted SO GOOD. I would say they tasted better than any fries I've had for a while. I did enjoy my time there, as it was a fun trendy burger joint. read more

Burgers are amazing!!!! I usually don't like onion rings, but I love these ones. Fries are good, but not perfect (in my opinion). Worth the price. Service is great, people are friendly and your food is served fast. Ambiance is great. read more

We came during their soft opening but were turned away as they had run out of food! I bookmarked this for later and recently had a chance to visit again - we walked down over the holidays and was delighted to find that they were open. Food isn't cheap but it's delicious and the fries are legitimately delicious - large, hot crispy and fried in beef tallow! Service could use some work though - we had to seat ourselves and as a result it took a while for them to approach to take our order. We didn't have a designated server. Food took a long while. Napkins took a long while. Request for additional condiment took another while; bill took another while! I'd come for takeout to enjoy on the beach in the summer though! read more

Best Chicken Milano sandwich in Vancouver!! Service is great! A must try while in Vancouver!!!!!

The hype around this place is disappointing. The burgers weren't anything special. Good price for downtown but so many more other options. The best thing they have going for them are their drinks and boozy milkshakes but what was supposed to be the main attraction was bland and a little dry. The service was friendly and great though! read more

I've had high hopes for this restaurant since they started building it months ago. This is my second visit. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The star of the show (burger) was grossly over salted (I like salt). I checked my kids burgers and they were also very salty. Also too waaay to long to get the attention of a sever to get the bill. Expensive for what you get. I'd pay the $$ if the product was superior, but unfortunately it isn't. Go hit up Beach Ave bar and grill for the best burger in Vancouver read more

Total underwhelming experience. The double cheeseburger was smaller than pictured. It is McDouble sized but costs $13. The beef fat fries are not special and McDonald's tastes better. I asked if they had Coke Zero and the waiter said yes. He brought me Diet Coke. Total combo was $20 and I could have eaten at McDonald's 3x. The chairs are not meant for average sized people. You need an inseam of 36" to reach the ground and the step is too far forward that you sit at the edge of the seat. Even taller guys were sitting at the front of the seat read more

Food was fantastic awesome burgers, and awesome shakes all around really really good.

Went last night. Had a Monzo King, fries and a beer. Food was great, delicious, fresh, hot and crispy fries. Service was excellent, lovely staff. They were very attentive. People at the table had shakes and floats. I would get that next time - they make them with gelato and they wee really good. My only gripe is that pricing was a little steep, even for Vancouver.

Came for the first time last night after wanting to try this place since it recently opened.  Great experience!   Burger was delicious, onion rings were crispy not oily, granita was refreshing and ideal mix of tart and sweet.  Our server attentively kept checking to see if we needed anything and was friendly and professional.  She helped navigate us through the differences between their burgers.  The space is a fun design with a cool loungy area.  Don't understand the bad reviews...great place for a friday night burger! read more

Did not know what to expect when I went here. I was blown away with how good the food was. I had the Wrangler and would recommend it, it's unlike any burger I've had before. The chocolate milkshake is probably the best I have had at any burger place. Awesome staff that provided great service and the look and vibe of the place are incredible. read more

I first heard about this place from my friend. We decided to have lunch here this afternoon, and I have to say everything about this place is amazing. The first thing you notice is the bright and vibrant ambience. The service is excellence. You don't have to order your food at a counter they sit you down and bring the food right to you, I ordered a cheeseburger fries and a strawberry milkshake. They accidentally brought me the wrong burger but they immediately corrected their mistake quickly which is much appreciated. The food was delicious and I had an amazing experience eating there. The price was also fantastic even with a 20% tip, it costs about the same as A&W , or any other fast food burger place with worse service and worse ambiance. Another benefit to this restaurant is unlike most burger establishments you can order alcohol here, and they even have an alcoholic milkshake. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough! read more
