    They serve beer too
    Ash I.

    Lamb burgers are good, real lamb meat (not simulation Doner like). Bottomless fountain drinks. Sweet fries were good. They didn't shrink the burger so its juicy. The price went up a little due to supplier costs. I would eat this burger here again. Nice lady behind the counter and cook. Seems like the owner.

    G-Money and fringz take out + lager
    Brian Knox M.

    Vera's Well as their slogan says, " you can't beat Vera'smeat"! I love the double g-money and fringz; I'll be honest, I can't afford to eat here as often, but I would much rather go without other cheaper burgers and wait for my Vera's burger... all real food, all great menu, worth every penny. And the staff at the Davie store always go out of their way for me personally... eg: once they made an error and decided best to redo my order, I hardly noticed anything amiss until they comp'd me a beer for my extra time. When the order arrived, perfect as always. Costs a little more here, but well worth it, beyond a doubt! BKM

    Proof that Victor rates his own business to make it seem better

    EDIT!! They said they're calling the authorities on me because I wrote a bad review and asked me to delete it. I have the message for proof. Got a message from the restaurant regarding my review and said they have no record of me dining in but I never gave them my name when I was in and they don't even know what I look like because I have no profile picture. Very professional.... Horrible place!! I was there a little while ago with my family for my daughters birthday. Read so many reviews about this place and thought it seemed amazing. As soon as we came into the restaurant we were not greeted. We waited for about 15 minutes before we actually got acknowledged. We shook it off and ordered our food. My daughters burger had a hair in it so we told our server who grabbed the manager, Victor. He gave us a half assed apology and said it was probably my daughters hair and she put it there on purpose! My daughter has black curly hair and the one in our food was brown and straight. He refused to take the burger off of the bill and was not at all helpful. To make matters worse none of their employees are taking precautions against Covid. No one is wearing a mask and none of the tables get cleaned, they get sat right away unless there is visible crumbs. Also the icing on the cake? After looking through more reviews I found out that the owner/manager Victor leaves his own 5 star reviews on for his own restaurant to make it seem better. Will not be comint

    After a day of running all around Vancouver before a meeting, I was really craving a burger. A really good burger. A spectacular and indulgent burger. Yelp saves me in these situations, so I did a search and headed over to Vera's. Parking was really easy to find on the street. (Side note: I love parking in Vancouver because it is so easy to do with credit cards. The flashing green traffic lights I still don't understand...) I got a little nervous about the outside because the awning is ostentatious and still doesn't really stand out compared to what is next to it, but then I went inside. With hockey playing on four screens, this feels like a very Canadian way of eating a burger, but somehow it doesn't feel too sports-bar-like. Clean and open, it is easy to read the menus and order. The cashier was very friendly and told me she would bring the food to me. I ordered sweet potato fries and they were perfect; both crispy and hot. This is a rarity for sweet potato fries, which I can never figure out. If they have good breading, they aren't hot; if they are hot, they don't taste good. Somehow, Vera's pulled it off. The burger was also great. I ordered the works and pulled a few things off because it was so big. A very sweet, gruff-voiced attendant (possibly the owner) checked on me to see if they needed to fix the order, although it was perfect. He checked on me at the end, too. The entire time I was eating, he was constantly cleaning and taking care of tables. Really incredible service and attention. I am over-the-top impressed.

    Canuck Burger (Bacon Cheeseburger) with Onion Rings
    Ed U.

    Jamie W. and I were in search of a great burger in Vancouver and found ourselves in - SURPRISE! - the gay neighborhood of Davie Village in the West End. Yep, here is Vancouver's answer to SF's Castro, LA's WeHo and Chicago's Boystown. Except for the pink garbage cans, it's not all that ostentatious in its gayness, and Vera's really doesn't feel like the late, lamented Hot n' Hunky in the Castro. But a good burger can indeed be found here. Emphasis on good since it isn't that great either. Choice seems to be the prerogative here, as there are all kinds of burgers to be had here. Veggie. Turkey. BBQ Chicken. Oh yes, and beef. Jamie ordered the daily special, the C$9.99 Canuck Burger, which is a bacon cheeseburger that comes with onion rings and a regular drink (see photo). I had the C$6.99 Lamb Burger that required me to combo it up with a side of fries and a regular drink for an extra C$3.99 (see photo). Yeah, required. It was all well and good but honestly, nothing that exceptional. I like the texture and flavor of a hand-formed patty, but the patties here unfortunately taste like they've been pre-packaged and refrigerated. Sigh. And what a is gayborhood without a great burger place. Where else do mutually consenting adults with large biceps go between rounds of fruity cocktails at the local fern bar? But then again, Vera's is part of a local chain, so maybe the burger gaydar is only at half-mast. FOOD - 3 stars...good burgers but simply not great AMBIANCE - 3 stars...a tavern with lots of Canadian paraphernalia and a rainbow flag SERVICE - 2.5 stars...can't remember TOTAL - 3 stars...Vancouver's gayburger joint

    $24 meal.   6 onion rings for $7!

    The burgers were excellent and fresh. I would have given them top marks were it not for the costly sides ($10 for a side of onion rings!!).

    It was ok. The fries were soft, the burger was underwhelming, and the milkshake was runny. It was open later. So that was a plus

Everything was tasty, but watch out for the staining spicy sauce. The tacos could get quite messy, I'd recommend eating the fallen fillings with a fork. Only unfortunate thing is the unavoidable piss smell just outside because of where it's located. But the restaurant is still worthwhile to visit, I'd come back to try other dishes.

It's right next to Rogers Arena and Stadium-Chinatown Station, so expect lots of business on event nights. It wasn't too crowded on the night that I came, but I've passed by a few times and seen it full on weekend evenings. It's small so there's not much ambiance, but the staff were friendly. I got the vegetable burrito bowl. It was good but I sort of felt like there was no unifying element to it at first, but when I thoroughly mixed everything together to get the sauce distributed, that made it much better. After mixing it was pretty tasty, but a little heavy on the sauce. FYI the "marinated fried tofu" in the veg bowl is inari, not block tofu. I also got a glass of Asahi, which was nice - it's Asahi. I wasn't blown away, but it was a good quick meal that definitely beats out chain fast food.

    This Mcdonalds is unique because there are no chairs and tables anywhere near the stand-alone mall…read morerestaurant. There are also no self-serve computer order kiosks. Eating in is not an option. Note that I came around 9pm on a Monday so maybe they took all the tables away earlier. Years ago when I visited this location, they had many chairs and tables just outside and inside the restaurant. Due to the awful area, a lot of homeless people were hanging around just sitting. Not necessarily eating. Now with the chairs and tables gone, there are barely any of them hanging around so I guess it's for the better. It didn't eliminate the problem entirely because as soon as I stepped out of the restaurant area I was asked a couple times by several people for a "rolling paper", extra change, or a lighter. Also, I noticed some of the windows of the restaurant were broken and boarded up with plywood. Yikes. It was VERY hot out (30 degrees!) So I decided to visit this McDonalds for a cheap but delicious frozen treat. I wanted to try their new peach smoothie but they ran out of it. I came later at 9pm so it's not surprising but it's still disappointing because I love peach smoothies. I settled for their strawberry banana smoothie. The smoothie I bought was delicious so I think it is very much worth it. It was refreshing and I could actually taste the strawberries and Banana flavors in it. In my opinion, a medium size is just enough to cool you down on an extremely hot day. Overall, their fruit smoothies are good! Good price too as it was "summer drinks day" time so it was only $2 for a medium one ($2.38 after tax and cup fee). Service could be better. There was a group of homeless looking people in front of me counting every dime, nickel and quarter to pay for their food so it took a really long time to wait to get my order in. There were 4 cash registers. Usually, another staff member would jump in and take another order using the other register but none came. Only one register was available and there were no self-serve kiosks. I had to wait 5-6 minutes to wait and get my order in even though there was only one order in front of me. Once I got my order in, it took a little longer than expected to get my smoothie, maybe 3-4 minutes. Usually it would take 1-2 minutes if it was not busy like this visit. I have a feeling that this Mcdonalds is either understaffed or just slow. Overall, I'd avoid this location if possible. Slower than expected service, and the type of people that are walking around in the area are not very, say, totally normal. Also there's nowhere to eat your food at the restaurant or near it. Kinda inconvenient. It's a decent grab and go place for the kind of stuff where you can walk and enjoy your food such as smoothies. Only giving 2 stars for the reasons stated above. I recommend you go to the slightly better Mcdonald's nearby instead. It's by Main Street - Science World skytrain station but only one short subway stop away from the Chinatown - Stadium Skytrain Station by the mall.

Otherwise I would have to wait anywhere from a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes because nobody (and I quote) nobody wanted to go into the back freezer for any of the beef patties and all that they had ready were the fish or chicken patties that had been sitting out under the warmer for a few hours!

    We searched for bratwurst near Rogers Arena, and Brat Haus came out on top. Just a short walk from…read morethe arena, this fast-casual spot turned out to be such a fun surprise. They offer 10+ house-made sausages, plus snacks, pretzels, and their famous monster milkshakes. It's not just for photos. The food tastes as good as it looks. Monster Milkshake - Break Me Off a Piece of That: Not your average milkshake. It came loaded with a chocolate ice cream bar, crushed vanilla waffle cone, and Kit Kat bars blended into a rich chocolate heaven. German Brats - Pete Brat: Texas bison sausage topped with onions and bell peppers, wrapped in gooey gouda, mozzarella, and cheddar. This is my favourite! Summer Special - Maui Beef Brat: Sweet with mango habanero sauce, grilled pineapple, teriyaki mayo, and jalapeños. Super unique combo. Curry Fries: Crispy fries piled high with currywurst slices, curry ketchup, and mayo. Perfect comfort snack. Massive Soft Pretzels: Golden, chewy, and the ultimate Gastown shareable snack (though I wouldn't mind finishing one myself). This spot is a gem in the neighbourhood. Brat Haus really levels up casual food and milkshakes into something fantastic and playful. We'll definitely be back. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: Eatery Kids: 3/5 Yay! Price: $20-$30 each person (lunch) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: Finding street parking in the area is a significant challenge. There is paid underground parking at the International Village Mall. Tips: * Self-serve sauce counter for those who like to add extra flavours. * Best options for a pre-game snack before Rogers Arena or a late-night bite in Gastown. * Can play an old-school Pac-Man machine while you wait.

Service is a little slow, looks like the cashier is also the cook. I ordered the Porky meal ($19), and the hotdog was delicious. Great flavor, nice snap, and I'm definitely interested in trying more of their menu options next time. The fries, though, were a bit of a miss for me. They were not super fresh, and the seasoning had a funky taste I didn't love. Might just be a personal preference, but I'd probably skip them next time. Overall, great vibe, solid food, and worth a second visit. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu!
