Went to Vera's on weekend. They were closing in hour or so. They told us that the grill was not available so could not get saulted onions or mushrooms or grilled chicken burger. They were using the dirty rag to clean the counters and using the same rag to clean their hands and cook our food. I was not impressed at all. This place needs help and are not interested in the bussiness. Very disappointed and will not go back. They were interested in watching the BC Lions game. Food was not that great.

Thanks to Lynn and Brian, proud new owners of my favorite burger joint, Vera's on Lonsdale, North Vancouver, we can now sit in clean comfort within a newly-renovated much-improved environment, chowing down on my favorite Veggie extra cool works combo, while chatting with the ever-friendly staff and owners. They certainly are proud of their new digs, and obviously the staff are really happy about working there. Each time I come in (I am a shameless regular, so much so that the staff know what to make for me the moment I walk through their door) I FREQUENTLY bring in friends so that they can some day become inveterate regulars too. Staff are always very friendly, professional and happy, greeting everyone who comes in like they are old friends.
I will only go to my Lonsdale Vera's burger for my veggie burgers, and believe me, I've been all over Vancouver and North Shore looking for the best veggie. These guys here are the only ones who know just how much fixins to put in the burger, even compared to other Vera's in Vancouver! Therefore, this is the only place that provides me with what I want. And they can count on me to keep coming there, to dine in or take out.
My companion enjoyed her natural burger, also cool works, and agreed that this was the premier place, making the best burgers around the lower mainland.
So, folks, come in and try the new digs, fixed up like a little diner.
Chomp down on the best burgers in this area whether you're a carnivore or a veg...
bon appetit!!!!!!

I was thrilled to see Vera's Burger on Lonsdale, and decided to check it out.

I was greeted at the counter by a very friendly server, who helped me with my order. I decided on nothing fancy, simple & easy, cheese burger with pop, and was told it would take about 10 minutes.
Seating is limited at this location, I got the impression, this location will be doing alot take out orders.
My server called out my name, and sat down to enjoy my cheese burger. It was a bit uneven when they put my burget together, but as long as it was cooked, fresh and tasted great, which it did, was all worth it. My burget was juicy, tasted great and glad to see another location, especially in North Vancouver. Cost of my burger & beverage was under $9.00.

Recommend, when you're wanting fresh burgers.

Now, when you go to a place like this, you expect greasy food. Well, you don't expect it to literally be soaked in grease. The fries, (which I got about a third of what everyone else got) were basically mashed potatoes in a slightly more convient mode. They had no flavour, except old canola oil, and were not worth eating at all.

I got a four cheese burger with bacon, which was decent (the bacon). The cheeses were yummy, but the beef patty was no way the advertised 6oz, and was also way to greasy. I ordered it with Ketchup Mayo Mustard Lettuce Tomato and Onion. I got it with Mustard Lettuce Tomato Onion and Pickle.

I got a diet coke, which was totally lacking in syrup, and when I told them, they said they'd fix it. They didn't.

The restaurant itself was utterly filthy, smelled kind of weird, and had a bunch of losers hanging out not eating, and completely distracting the employees. All two of them. None of which were managers, just employees who had no fucking clue what they were doing. One stated she had worked there for a year and a half, but had no idea how to change the ketchup, which had been empty since I got there.

I went with two of my friends, one who got a chili dog (he seemed content with it) and a milkshake. They didn't have chocolate, naturally. My other friend I was with got a vera burger. They screwed up his condiments too.

Some random woman who was there complained about wrong condiments too.

I'm never going there again. I might call the health department to do a surprise investigation. (They jump at that, it's quite fun)

Had a Vera ( Tasty ) hamburger back in late June of 2009. WELL i loved it also so had fries & gravy as well. Ohhh, big big meal. no i did not finish it. how-ever took the a doggy bag home. The hamburgers are fantastic, big '' maybe a little too big '' no, no , i am not complaining just saying wow . '' Vera's Burger Shack'' is also an eatery staple around the city, well a couple cities. I love it, and you will to if you love a good no non-sense Hamburger !

I went to Vera's thinking it would be a nice yummy treat. I read on the website they had won all these awards and thought I might have found a gem. Hmm, well in theory it could have been.

FOOD: The burger was tasty and so stuffed with goodies I couldn't fit it in my mouth. I had to remove some of the tomatoes etc just to get a bit of burger that was bun to bun. I got paranoid though because the burger was a bit too pink. The onion rings were greasy disgusting things and the batter tasted 'off'. The fries were alright but not special. The sizes were massive so if you go just get one burger made a meal.

SERVICE: I do not blame the nice kid at the counter but instead the trainer who obviously didn't do his job by training the poor guy. I ordered
- a vera burger with the works minus the hot sauce and peppers
- and made that a meal with onion rings in place of fries (you have a choice! YUM)
I also ordered
- a pawer burger combo for my friend and made his a meal also.
The poor kid got confused by this so I repeated it again. After the fourth go round he read it back to me and he seemed tohave it all right except I wanted both burgers made into a meal and no extra basket of fries. The bill ended up 27 bux and I asked for the receipt to check why. He ended up making both burgers a meal, both with onion rings in place of fries and adding an extra basket of fries. We went back over the order and he refunded us the 4 bucks for the fries. Our burgers came out and our baskets of grease to follow. They then came by with an extra basket of fries of which I sent back because we didn't pay for it.

VALUE: Not bad if you just order a burger and make one person's a meal (huge baskets of food)

AMBIANCE: Crowded and the tables were dirty.
