Stopped in today to drop off a resume. Was greated by a man who said his name was Pindy, clearly a member of management. He told me i would have to work two shifts for free and without pay in order to see if it was a "good fit" before i had the job. This is blatantly against British Columbian employment law. I grew up eating at Vera's and its truly sickening to see such beloved franchises descend into exploitative capitalist practices. Never eating here again and would advise anyone who cares about service workers to do the same. Disgusting behaviour. read more

We just came back from Vera's it was extremely disappointing. There were four of us Order #1 was for a burger with jalapenos and yam fries Order # 2 was for a burger with a lettuce wrap instead of a burger bun Order # 3 was for a Cajun chicken burger Order #4 was for a Cajun chicken burger with poutine Order #1 came without Jalapenos and with regular french fries , which were cold, we sent it back and it took 30 minutes to get what was originally ordered when it finally came the Yam fries were cold and inedible Order # 2 came with cold french fries, which were not ordered, the burger was in a regular bun instead of a lettuce wrap, it was sent back and took about 30 minutes to get the correct order. Order #3 came and the chicken was overcooked to the point where the edges were hard and inedible, didn't bother sending it back, ate only about 1/2 of it Order #4 the burger was overcooked and the poutine was cold, didn't bother eating or sending it back as it was now 1 1/2 hours since we arrived. There were only two people on staff and they were very apologetic for the lack of service and said they were swamped with online orders. I do not blame them. In conclusion, I think that Uber eats and the like were mostly to blame because they demand a very tight timeline for restaurants to get the order ready and if a restaurant is short staffed as it was here tonight then the customers at tables are the ones that are left waiting while staff prioritize the online orders. The owner of this restaurant needs to have more staff to be able to accommodate it's customers read more

Great Burger! The meat is juicy and good quality. No greasy. Great service! The place is clean. read more

Vera's On The Drive - Stinger Burger with jalapeños :) - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I do like the food here, and sometimes you just need a good burger, which Vera's doesn't disappoint. The food is all made fresh, with raw not frozen beef thrown on the grill for a tasty carnivore experience. Gotta go with the G-Money as my fave burger here, and the service is generally good. So the restaurant has been on The Drive for years and could benefit from a deep clean company or Reno as the place is beginning to show its age. Now, I'll still go here to eat, but somehow they could get a bit better at keeping it clean. Just felt like there was a film of grease in some places. read more

Vera's On The Drive - GMoney Burger And Hella Big Poutine - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I've eaten at other Vera's locations a couple of times, but for some reason this location tasted better. Like, A LOT better. I just ordered a cheeseburger with mustard and relish (the way I like it) and onion rings. It was all delicious. I'm hungry just writing this review. A quick delicious burger meal and I was happy. read more

Vera's On The Drive - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Vera's is the best burger in Vancouver. Tasty? Yes. Delectable? Yes. The key is probably the bun. So perfect. So soft. The perfect tool to encapsulate the beautifully seasoned burger. Goddamn. It is so good. Get one now. read more

Burgers were alright. Unprepared staff... she was chewing food while taking our orders and we waited for 20 minutes for the food to arrive. Yam fries were pretty good though. Hence, 2 stars! read more

See all

I love their burgers. The quality of the meat is excellent. They've also got a wide variety of toppings, with decent amount of free ones. The toppings that you pay for aren't that expensive considering the quality. I even like the bun! Now, why they lose 2 stars; their sides are horrific. I'd say they are the WORST fries and onion rings I've ever had; even worse they're always overcooked. However, if you're one of those people who like their sides extra crispy, then this is definitely the place for you. Pretty much just order the burgers. read more

I went there recently. Service was good. I got a chicken burger and fries. Prices have really gone up everywhere. The patty wasn't that big. It was okay tasting. I just wish the pattty was bigger. You don't get alot of fries for 3ish bucks. My suggestion would be to incude more fries. Aren't potatoes cheap??? It makes the dish look bigger. Would I go there again. Maybe. read more

After a rocky change of management a few years back, this Vera's has settled down to being a much appreciated neighbourhood hang out, even during Covid. Young and youngish staff comes and goes, but always pleasant. Burgers are still as good as ever, but the buns are shrinking. Fries are sometimes served burnt. When getting takeout, I'd advise sitting at the bar, watching your order being prepared, because often there are errors or items left out of the bag. The only reason I know they have flavoured sauce to go with their yam fries is because I've been to other Vera's. Here, they never offer, you always have to ask. Penny pinching? read more

Italian day, we decided to eat at veras because we didn't wanna be wait in line for some over priced greek plate. Line up was great moved at a reasonable pace. We sit down waiting for the burgers that we specified that we didn't want sauce and tomato on mine and no cheese on my mothers. We get our burgers. Mine has a tomato and sauce and my cheese i wanted while my mom has no tomato and no cheese with the usual toppings we try switching but it made no difference so we sent our burgers back, then when we get them again i wanted just a little ketchup on it so i open the burger up and i see they used the same patty that they gave us the first time. I know this because my we cut our burger in half to make sure we're not eating a raw burger (its happened before) by this point we're both disappointed and kinda grossed out.. the burger we bit into went back onto the grill that everyone else is getting their food on top of that the bun was chewy and distasteful. We ate it anyways because we were trying to save our appetite for Italian day but line ups and the heat wasn't really for us. Run down of what happened, wrong order mix up- sent it back- got our same burger that WE BIT WITH OUR MOUTHS that was re heated and put back onto different buns- buns were chewy most likely reject buns- then the guy who checked up on us said that they re heated them and just put it on new buns... because... haha thats what he thought we wanted.. usually restaurants would get us completely new burgers and be on with our lifes Not satisfied with the service and how they handled the reorder read more

Vera's On The Drive - They put a burger we took a bite out of back on the grill and reheated it then gave it back to us... TO EAT! - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I know this sounds silly, but I got the taco salad. Yes, at a burger joint. I'm not surprised it was pretty basic. I picked steak as my protein and that was pretty good. Young lady cooking and taking orders was nice. read more

We always talk about this location of Vera's. It was perhaps the worst burger in my life that I had to pay for. Thank my lucky stars we had a Groupon or I would have been upset. It was one of those experiences from the moment we stepped in to order that everything went wrong. Confused about the Groupon, wrong drinks coming out, server seemed rattled and rushed (only one other group) and short changed us by accident. We never get excited or upset when these things happen as it's only food. Instead we go into the mode of sitting back and watching the shit-show unfold before us. We knew this was turning out to be a memorable experience for all the wrong reasons. And for my family, eating out is also about creating memories. As expected the burgers were brutal. Bun was powder dry, patties had absolutely no care put into them, fixings were way out of proportion. My burger had a side salad on it and my daughters had McDonalds sized fixings. From a food point of view, I was somewhat sad that we wasted a burger experience on this. Thoughts crossed my mind about food safe issues. If this place is so clueless about getting a simple burger to the plate, what else is up? Luckily we all made it through the night with no issues. I've ate at Vera's at another location in Surrey and Kits and they were much better. How can this place have any customers on Commercial. Will never be back, but thanks for the memories. read more

Moved to Vancouver almost a decade ago, and one of the first restaurants I ever tried was Vera's. Recommended by girlfriend at the time, I really liked it! Excellent burgers with inventive toppings. I had a bad experience at a different location, and stopped going for a while. I hadn't been to Vera's in a while, but was busy and saw they delivered (via Skip The Dishes) so I ordered the BBQ burger with Jalapeno Bottlecaps extra (mmm) and Onion Rings and a drink. All in all it wasn't bad. They really got the toppings right where it doesn't overwhelm the burger but it's also not all just beef. Onion Rings were a bit bland. Wouldn't mind a bit more spice and flavour to them. A&W has everyone else beat in terms of onion rings. I'll probably get fries next time. read more

The double entendre slogan is BANG ON, because you really can't beat Vera's meat. To me this is how a burger is supposed to taste. Perfectly grilled and not overcooked. My boyfriend just laughed and asked me "did you literally just "OM NOM NOM" while eating that?" Yes. Yes, I did. read more

Let me start by saying the staff were amazing. I took my wife here after having the best turkey burger in my life at vera's main St location and raving to her for the past month on how good they were. We ordered a couple turkey burgers and they were made with previously frozen, thin patties from Gordon's food service (info from cook there) and not fresh ground chuck home made, thick juicy patties like at the main St location, but yet priced the same! For $10 a burger shame on the management for not keeping the quality the same across this franchise. read more

had some of the best customer service I've ever experienced in a counter based food establishment. I wasn't having a great day and placed a somewhat princessy order. I didn't want a bun, I didn't want a full lettuce wrap, I wasn't sure between raw or sautéed onions... I was annoying even to myself. Ruben and Kristine were fabulous!! They were funny, courteous, and genuinely seemed not to mind that I was a pain. During these horrible times of hatred and judgment and political nightmares, it's easy to forget that simply being a decent human being and offering kindness goes a very long way. Their burgers are also awesome. I recommend The Frank. read more

I have been a fan of Vera's burgers for quite some time, so on a whim i tried this location. Back in the day they had a special menu item called "Dave's open face chili burger" and i lament that this has been retired. The burger i had from this location was a little bit more charred and overcooked than i remember, but still a good quality burger overall. Would recommend to other burger fans out there that have not tried Vera's before. read more

Popped by to get takeout. Front window was open and feathers and dust coated the top of the fridges and floor. Burger chef was wearing flip flops and stomped in the garbage bin to make more room for the paper they use to separate the raw burger patties. Very sloppy unhygienic looking kitchen. read more

I wish more burger joints offered havarti on their burgers as a substitute for the usual American/cheddar/mozza trifecta. Honestly, I'd eat havarti on everything if I could. Stuff's the bomb. I got a BBQ burger but omitted the onions, BBQ sauce, relish, and mustard. I'm very basic when it comes to my burger preferences. The burger comes with fries. I also got a side of gravy. The burger was pretty good. Not the best I've had, but definitely not the worst. I'm a little sensitive to more standard cheeses, enough so that, when coupled with a greasy burger, they can make me fairly sick. The havarti contrasted well and the bacon was perfectly crispy. No post-eating nausea. There were small bits of the patty that were slightly red but nothing to worry about. The fries were average at best. If the burger didn't come with them automatically, I would not order them myself. The gravy was great and made the fries palatable but I could have done without them if I'm being honest. I'm really not sure if the burger was worth the price if you're considering this from a "I'll keep going here" perspective. I can get a thicker burger with better fries locally for six dollars less (albeit not with havarti cheese). That being said, I did not feel ripped off and the burger WAS good. read more

I only had the tacos, they were unfortunately very bland, I mostly tasted the soft taco shells which definitely weren't fresh. Also, I didn't notice a sauce on the tacos, but they were served with a fresh chopped tomato topping instead. The staff did ask me if I wanted mild, medium or hot tacos, so I opted for medium. They didn't provide sauces for customers to add to their tacos. Tacos were $2.75 each, but next time for a similar price I'll go to different restaurant where the taco shells are fresh, and the taco itself is tasty. I should have ordered a burger, they look good. They didn't have their hours posted on the door that I could see. I had a beer which was good, cold & fresh. The service was good. read more

Stopped in to compliment Veras on their Christmas decorations and stayed for a burger (delicious) and a beer (good selection by the way). I found out that Veras is under new management and the staff are very friendly and welcoming with great customer service. The previous reviewer (Cindy) is right on the mark. Stop by like I did, you are in for a treat! read more

I probably eat here once or twice a week. Best burger joint on the drive. They've got one of those touch screen pop machines so you can get crazy flavours like vanilla root beer and peach Fanta. So good. The burgers are really tasty. My favourite is the stinger. Jalapeño bottle caps on a burger? Yes please! They do all kinds of food here, not just burgers. Tacos, burritos, chicken strips, poutine. The milk shakes are awesome too. I never get bored of the menu. The staff are some of the nicest people I've ever encountered at a little burger place like this. And honestly this is one of the biggest reasons why I love this place. I could go on about how great this place is, but you get the point lol! read more

This place rocks! Amazing staff. No bored teenagers acting as if you're taking up their precious time. They treat everyone as if they're regulars. It's a great vibe and awesome food. It's not all burgers either (which are fabulous). $15 bucks gets you a couple tacos and 4 beers! They also have a drink machine from the future with over 100 flavours. Good atmosphere and lighting too. Not your average burger shack. read more

Rip off joint Ordered chicken burger after a long wait it arrived and when I bit into it it was half frozen. Asked for my money back and they refused Did not want a scene so I just left Do not go here crap food crap attitude read more

Excellent, has been renovated and new management last year. The food is as expected, some of the best burgers in town. friendly staff and they go above and beyond to make your order on time and pretty (sometimes!). Onion rings can be a bit too greasy but the burgers are usually top notch and consistent. read more

Got a burger and fries to go, Saturday night, November 16. They sold me a raw burger and the leftover dregs of fries. Of course I didn't see until I got home and started eating it. This place was good but it seems like they don't care as much now. I don't know what's going on, but if I dine again and this is what I get I'm going to zero star you all the way home. I'll write so many nasty reviews you'll be picking your ass on Friday night. They recently just raised the prices too. That's what always happens; prices go up, quality goes down. Smarten up Vera's On the Drive read more

I've been here a few times with friends for just a Burger which was juicy, well prepared and felt more like a meal and less like junk food. Decent amount of seating, always busy and good customer service. It is $$$ but you're getting a mild step up from fast food. read more

As advertised. Burger was excellent (grilled chicken) and I loved the free form coke machine. I can see it easily getting too packed to be comfortable but we were there in at a low time and it was very nice. Service and food not to be faulted. read more

At this point I have only myself to blame. Apparently unable to learn my lesson I've ordered from Vera's for delivery three times now. Every time there's been a problem but this last time it was so unbelievably bad I have to leave a review. 2 orders of poutine one veggie gravy one normal. Delivered and both were normal gravy and they looked and tasted like they had been sitting out for a half hour. Fries were stale food was cold. Do NOT order their delivery, it's horrific. They won't do a thing for you if you call management is clueless. read more

Awesome service from great people who seem to like their jobs. Food is great. Never over or under cooked. And the pop machine is crazy. Tones of flavor combinations. My favorite burger is the Big Chick which is on special on Thursdays. Never leave this vera's unhappy. The staff really know customer service read more

I simply love this Veras. Ever since the the new Owner took over and fixed up the place I've never had an issue here that wasn't taken care if at the time. They have a good mix of Employees, some from Canada and others from overseas like Europe and Australia. The Burgers (chicken or beef) are always to my liking esp the beef cooked a bit pink. My personal fav's are the Four Cheese with bacon and the BBQ (Wednesday special) I always get fried onions too. There daily $13.50 special is a sound deal for a big burger. They have great beer specials too. Sometimes it's better not to order the combo if your having beer as it puts it up to $17.50 with fries. I just order the burger and a mini V to go and have the beer specials it seems cheaper. There App gives you free food quick, just load it first, you can even add tip. If you tell the staff that you are having some drinks before eating they will run a tab for you, it's better than paying each time. It takes 10 minutes for a burger order. Look for Groupons coming up in the fall for even more Value. I'm hungry again: Out read more

This was my first time eating at a Vera's and I was very happy with the food, staff and restaurant (Vera's on the Drive). The owner (Clive) was so helpful in planning our dinner. It was my son's birthday and planned to bring 8 of his buddies there; they did a great job hosting all the boys and our family! The boys had so much fun and they loved the food...and they seemed to be so entertained with the drink machine. The service the staff provided was fantastic and everything was very organized and ready for us when we arrived. We don't live close by this location but if we are ever in the neighborhood again, we will definitely come by! read more

You need to eat here there burger are amazing there service is fantastic good times also you need to try the cherry coke with goldschlager its pretty good read more

I really appreciate what Clive and his team have brought to the Drive. I am a regular burger and fries guy and the food is always consistent and really good and the place is clean and taken care of. It is a huge, really huge, improvement since he has taken over. Above and beyond the basics though are the people. Clive cares about what he is doing and it shows. His team are genuinely having fun, they take time to talk to you and to learn your name and share some time with you as they can. They care about getting it right and are proud of what they are doing. Thanks guys! read more

My girlfriend and I went there the food was quick and excellent. The burgers were cooked to a high standard and the staff was very friendly. The ambiance fit that of The Drive and the appliances are all very modern. There are televisions at every angle so you will never miss the action. Would definitely go again! read more

My burger was small and overbooked, my bacon was black and crispy... And it's like they forgot the fries... So sitting with a drink for twenty minutes... And than get a huge disappointment :( read more
