Came here the first time late night after a nightout. It was super busy and the service was quick. Second time I came here during the day when it was empty and just one lady on the counter but it took very long for us to get 3 burgers. The food is good nonetheless and the option to switch patties to your preferred choice of protein on any burger in the menu is great. They also serve canned drinks read more

Canadian beef for a burger is absolutely delicious! Vera cooks up a god damn masterpiece! A nice greasy, not too greasy, burger packed with flavor!! I recommend getting a double on anything, it's just too good. And add some bacon while you're at it. Fries are solid aces, nothing like fast food trash. It's a small place and gets busy in the evening, be sure to get there early if you plan on eating inside the restaurant. read more

I've been to Vera's Burger Shack at YVR plenty of times and figured I'd give the Vera's Burger Shack on Davie Street location a shot when I spotted it (or rather, didn't spot it) across the street. Calling the signage bad would be generous,I literally walked right past the place because there's barely any indication it exists. For a burger joint on a busy street, you'd think they'd want people to actually find the door. Ordered a burger, fries, and a milkshake. The burger and fries showed up in reasonable time. The milkshake? Apparently it had to be churned by hand from a cow in the back, because it didn't arrive until I was halfway through my meal. Nothing says "classic burger experience" like washing down your last few bites with what was supposed to come at the start. Thought maybe it was a one-off. Nope. Took the kids a couple of weeks later, same circus, different day. Milkshakes showed up halfway through the meals again. If you're going to charge milkshake prices, at least serve them when they're meant to be enjoyed. And while we're at it, can someone explain the suggested tip math? It's completely unclear whether the percentage is calculated on the pre-tax total or after tax. Transparency shouldn't be this complicated. Between the invisible storefront, the glacial milkshake timing, and the fuzzy tip calculations, guess what I'm not doing again. read more

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!!).

I ordered chicken strips and french fries with a fountain drink. The chicken strips were the worst I've ever had. There was hardly any meat on them and the fountain drink was so watery. I won't go to Vera's ever again. read more

Haven't been here in a while but was thinking about it as I had recently been to Bin 4. Came during covid a couple times as there weren't many places open late. First time the place was pretty empty and Celebrity was still closed so it was pretty quiet on the street. The second time, the covid ban on gatherings had just been lifted so the street was crowded with people. Both times I had the Canuck with onion rings. Hey I'm Canadian and a Canucks fan. Always add an onion ring or two to my burger. Was very satisfied. For fast food I won't touch a McDonald's beef burger. I prefer Burger King (love the microwaved grill marked goodness). For burgers, always liked White Spot (nostalgic), Wally's, Fat Burger (lot of flavour but by the end, start to feel a little nauseous), Johnny rockets on Oak and Broadway (when it was there) and now... Bin 4. read more

Favourite burger spot downtown, used to Go there all the time when I lived downtown. Whenever I'm back there I always go back. Great customer service too, the main lady who works there treats the regulars great. read more

Been eating here for years. Service is top notch. They are always friendly and remember my name and just how I like my burger, even if I take a break for several months. Has a classic burger joint atmosphere. The person who complained about waiting 20 minutes, well you know what? It usually takes at least 20 minutes if not 30 when they're busy, and that's okay! This is not "fast food", this is quality, and that's worth waiting for. If you're in a rush you can call in your order ahead of time or use their phone app. Will be happy to continue to dine here again and again! read more

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. read more

My girlfriend and i waited for about 20 minutes for one burger, fries and a milkshake. We were the only customers in the store at the time. There were only two employees working at the time and they seemed to be more focused on talking to each other rather than preparing our food. The front counter lady with black hair, a pony tail and curly hair did not wash her hands and started preparing the milkshake by scooping the ice cream with a spoon and getting it on the cup with her finger. She then started munching on some food herself before delivering our food. Would never come back. read more

Vera's has always put together a good burger, I appreciate that they are made to order. Not much else is better than getting your greedy mitts on a wrapped up bundle of warm deliciousness, like what an alluring aroma. The customization options for burger toppings is the best part; I like mine loaded (and I mean LOADED!) with Pickles and Banana Peppers. For me, the salted taste of briny things is the perfect foil to the richness. I haven't eaten the fries in a while, but that's personal choice, I do remember them being better than average. Also, they have deep fried Jalapeno pieces that are incredible. I only eat here during lunch and the service is always efficient and polite. Which is impressive, as it often seems like only one employee is doing literally everything, including steering the ship. read more

They have a good meet and fries. The problem is their lack of training and inconsistency. It would be great if they could hire somebody from McDonald's to organize and run their operations. read more

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. read more

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 read more

I haven't been to a Vera's in ages and Wow!!!, what a pleasant surprise. Expanded menu with Burgers that have pre-assigned toppings and sauces. Which is a better method than having customers pick their toppings and sauces which really slows down the line-up like what happens at a Harvey's. I had the G-Money Burger which was Big. 2 patties with fried mushrooms & fried onions with cheese and special sauce. Very Delicious burger. & I had totally forgotten how good their French Fries are. Fresh Cut & Crispy Golden Brown with the right texture. Better fries than any fast food franchise. Even better than fries at McD. Will have to try the poutine next time. Service was average. Limited selection at soda fountain. But the food was Great. So I will go back. To a different Vera's location. read more

Anita Lol its funny how you wrote in detail. But you are spot on they must dive into a dumpster to get salads and burgers smells like rotten meat has been stuffed into them. Worst place to ever eat ewwww. Save your health guys and avoid this dump. (Last visit was in jan 2020) and Victor is it? The manager dude get some customer service lessons. read more

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 read more

Keeps getting worse. Been here only twice in the few years to see if will be any better. Burgers have shrunk in size. They look nothing like advertised. Photos attached. Spent $24 to get a double burger with cheese and bacon, and onion rings. I got 6-7 small onion rings for $7. You can see how tiny the burger is despite being a double. I left hungry after spending that. Second pic I got a tiny amount of fries with a shriveled burger. The toppings were wrong but I didn't bother getting it fixed. From my understanding there was a change of ownership here, and for whatever reason the portions have shrunk and quality has gone downhill. Simply not worth it for the quality and portions. read more

I want to like this place, but EVERY time I come here, I end up regretting it. A few weeks ago, I popped in for take-out poutine. The attached pic shows what I was disappointed to find upon my arrival home - definitely did not cure my squeaky cheese craving. Today I tried to give them another chance, but the service was atrociously slow, and a girl was handling raw meat without gloves in full view of customers. It's so disappointing because I enjoy the Main Street and Kits locations. I've been here 5-6 times moving to the neighbourhood, and it's always bad. read more

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

Visiting Vancouver for the first time, just checked into hotel and needed to grab lunch. Searched 'burgers' online, found this place just around the corner from our hotel. A little pricey for a burger but the meal was amazing and felt a little gourmet. I'd definitely eat here again. Plus the local ale is good too. Perfect with the burger. Ordered the Greek with sweet potato fries. read more

I just stopped in for a quick milkshake and stood at the counter while the cashier right in front of me stared at her phone. Finally the cook was like hellooo, hinting to the cashier that I was standing there trying to be noticed with anything short of being a di** by saying AHEM. So anyways, the milkshake: it SUCKED. It was as runny as chocolate milk, no exaggeration. I won't be back here. read more

My last time in Vancouver was shortly after starting my Yelp career when a bunch of Canadian Yelp CM's got together for a lunch here at Veras on Davies. Back then I was wowed at the sheer size of the burgers back then. Last time around I had some special burger that was massive, multiple patty's several kinds of meat, all the toppings including french fries and even hot dogs - It was epic. Fast forward four years and I'm back where it all started on Davies. Last night I was hungry as all heck and needed a greasy fix for dinner. Walked into Vera's for nostalgia sake and ordered up one of their regular single pattie cheese burgers with fried onions on top and other fresh toppings. I paried that with a pint of Granville Island and frings (french firies and onion rings). 8 short minutes later I was stuffed and my basked was empty, amazing all over! Thanks for another awesome meal Vera's please open locations out east, we'd love to have you there! Eatcrest Out read more

I came in on a Friday and to my surprise, their 'daily deal' was to choose any of the deals from Monday-Thursday (hurray!). I came in knowing the quality of their burgers as I've had Vera's cater to our company parties so I've had their delicious patties before. I ordered a "canuck burger", added mushrooms and got Sweet Potato Fries with it. Delicious!!! I thought maybe the patty was a little burnt but over all, it was delicious! I was so full though I couldn't finish the fries (bummer). Prepare yourself for a flavourful burger - it will get messy with juices running down your hands! The staff was also very nice, friendly and helpful! read more

Honestly, it's the best place to go if you're looking for a late night spot to eat or go too after a long night of partying. since covid many places no longer do that, but this veras does and everyone who works at this location is so nice and friendly..... and since it's on Davie you will usually run into some drunk yet entertaining queers/queens which makes for a writable experience. Hence this review.... read more

This is the place to go for a big burger. It's fresh meat and there's a lot of it. On the wall are pictures of people eating burgers- including triple burgers (3 patties between a bun)- the result is a burger about 8 inches in height! I like the jalapeno caps- little round slices of jalapenos fried up like onion rings. They're good- you can get them as a side or right on top of your burger. I recommend getting something with cheese because the cheddar tastes wonderful. They have daily food and beer specials. Friday's special is called Two-Fistin' Friday (2 pints for $6). While we were waiting in line to order, almost all the tables filled up. So I recommend, having one person reserve a table as soon as you come in because this is a very popular lunch spot. read more
