Splitz Grill is a gourmet burger joint. They prepare everything fresh daily, and you get to select your toppings from a wide variety of excellent homemade sauces and fresh veggies. These guys take burgers seriously!!
Tried Splitz after a buddy at work insisted they are his favorite burgers in the GVRD.
Had a cheesburger with fries. You can choose your toppings. The burger was juicy and char grilled just perectly and the bun complimented the meat perfectly. Fries were just ok but I was there for the main attraction. Staff were nice.
Probably in the top 3 of Vancouver's best burgers, in my opinion.
After driving around for a long time, I finally made a decision and came here with the increasingly irritable and hungry gf.
I didn't think much of it while I was there, but in hindsight it's really a ramped up fast food style joint. It's self-serve at best so expect to clean up after someone else's mess.
My gf and I went with the classic combo, a $10 price tag per combo that included a small paper tray of hand-cut fries and a small fountain drink. My gf didn't find the burger impressive at all, omitting the fact they put in bbq sauce when she didn't ask for it. I thought it awfully resembled the kind of burgers you'd find at a backyard bbq, from the handmade patty sometimes inconsistently cooked to the non-uniform toppings slapped on. I likened the char on the patties but was definitely on the dry side. The choice of toppings was a nice touch, but I don't like to stray from the minimal tomato, cheese, lettuce and maybe mayo. One thing about that cheese, it's shredded. What happened to slice? The fries were awful. Old oil and poor cooking temperatures resulted in two trays of dark brown, limp potato strings. Again, applaud the effort for going homestyle but mostly missed the ball.
If they charged anymore, it would be a ripoff. Can't say that I hated it, but I'll be moving on to the next burger joint please.
I had gone for lunch to this place with my friend a couple of days ago. You can choose your own toppings and there are good choices to select from. The burger was juicy and tasty. The staff is friendly and polite. I will definitely go back to this place when I am in the mood to eat burger and will recommend it to others as well.
Looking for the best burger joint in Vancouver is a challenge. My Wife and I LOVED Splitz in Whistler, so this should have been a no brainer. Unfortunately, to our dismay, the Main Street location is terrible!
We were greeted politely, but could barely hear anything being said to us as there were a few guys making enough noise to irritate children on a playground. Once our order was done we added our toppings (as per the norm) and waited in anticipation of what was to come our way.
First bite was ok, then it deteriorated from there. My Bison burger tasted like char and Traci's wrap and the chicken in it carried what appeared to be yesterday's greasy burger bits from the grill top. It even tasted like grill top bits from the day before! The bacon was no different and the fries looked like greasy little bits from the bottom of the fryer! I'll remember not to tip before the food comes again! I was considering asking for the 12% tip back after the terrible food they provided. Maybe that's just what you get there when you show up between lunch and dinner.
Seriously NOT IMPRESSED at all, and we'll never be going back to that burger joint! I'd much rather drive to Whister to experience the delicous burgers at Splitz there (where obviously they have pride in the product they serve - and they were a lot of fun to chat with as well)!
Both Rainbow crab and I decided to try the Splitz grill while on Main Street. Our first time. The first thing that I really loved was the wide array of free toppings. Some very unique ones too. Rainbow crab is a bit of a purist, and she had a basic bacon and cheddar with fries. But she loved it, the char on the burger, but juicy with each bite.
I had the basic burger with fried onions, thier special sauce, salsa, mayo, onions and wow was it amazing.
Some other toppings include Hummous, Baba Ganough,(sp) cucumbers, sprouts, bbq sauce, hot sauce, hot peppers, and on and on the list goes.
The fries were great, and I can not wait to go back!
THis pla is busy, at least at lunch. I had a burger combo, very fairly priced at around $11.00. It came ith chips (real one, done right) and a drink, and I have no complaints whatsoever. There were three of us, we all had different things, and we all said we would go back anytime. The service style is a bit unusual - there's a big notice at the cashier saying if you don't want BBQ sauce, tell us, so I guess it's automatically put on if you don't. You pay at the cash, wait a bit until they call your name, then go up and tell them what you want (tomatoes, pickes, sauce,etc.) then they call you when it's ready. It was a bit hard to figure out, so I askd the cashier how it works. I had a very good time.
Mrs. C wanted to eat out, so after looking at the DH website we decided to split for Splitz. Main Street is the 'happening' part of town, so we looked forward to eating and upping our cool quotient at the same time.
The restaurant was a little dark inside, and man was it hot. It also could have been a bit more hygienic. After looking at the big board we settled on a lamburger with rings for me and a chicken burger with a Caesar for my beloved.
They have lots of topping choices and I had the famous Splitz sauce and some babaganoush along with some of the veggie items. Mrs. C stuck to the classic toppings. As for service, the cooks were helpful in choosing the toppings but the counter clerk looked like she wanted to be elsewhere.
I have to say my rings were okay. Same with the Caesar, but the burgers left something to be desired. The chicken was dry and tasteless, while the lamb was flavorful and a bit dry. The burger sizes were generous though, which was good considering the cost of the meal was over 26 bucks.
All in all it wasn't terrible, but it did not live up to the hype.
Was there on Sunday with two other friends. The staff was great and friendly. When we got our burgers all three of us had different buns, sesame. plain and herb. Two of us were not impressed with the bun at all. My bun was dense and really hard which made it difficult to eat my burger to the point that I had to eat it without the bottom bun. I asked my friend to try the bun and all of us agree that it was impossible to bite threw. Too bad because the patty was really good. I also prefer to have sliced cheese melted on my burger rather than have grated cheese put on the bun. Not sure if I will be back but definately prefer Modern Burger. If these guys make a few small changes then I will definately be back.
Perhaps it was because I had low expectations, but man did that burger deliver. Great size for a burger and the patty had some great flavor outside of simple seasoned salt (where most places will simple mask a crap patty with seasoning and/or salt).
Great hand cut fries to accompany the burger that had my choice of toppings, which included babaganouch!! Aw yeah! My partner had an all beef hotdog striaght from New York with dijon mustard. Wow, equally great.
I mean, I do rave about this place, simply because the food was outstanding. Service was good enough, but I can't see how to get higher than solid when you serve yourself. No slight against Splitz, just a fact. Ambiance was adequate for the area and the value is alright.
I'm definitely going to be back.
This is the second time being here, the first time was a year ago with a friend when we finished climbing the grind it was ok experience. Had a craving and wanted a burger an milkshake, kinda regretted not driving to new west for a better burger.
Food: Ordered the regular splitz burger with an expresso coffee milkshake. The burger, very nice and juicy and was on par with vera's, the bun however not so good, it was a teeth shattering hard kaiser bun (presumibly not fresh), the toppings, NEVER get the lettuce as it was turning brown but tomatoes, onions pickles were fine.
Service: very efficient, as the cook (looks like the manager) made my food and came over to deliver to my table. Was during lunch time and it wasn't too busy. I would say it is pretty attentive.
Value: Here's the thing, I know it is supposed to be quality over quantity if you rate it over fast food joints but the price is pretty steep for what I ordered so quality does come at a big price. The damage came at $12 and I didn't even order a combo.
Overall: If I had the same money to dine at this place or a fast food place, i'd have better food and have change back to the fast food joint. So no, i would not recommend if you have coins in your pocket itching to come out. 2.5 out of 5
Nice addition to the Main St stretch. The burgers are pretty satisfying at this place. Much like Vera's, you get to choose your toppings and sauce. Vera's is slightly better imo. Moderne Burger takes the cake over all these places.
The fries were pretty bad - if that's possible. Very soggy and oily. Somewhat surprising bc I thought fries are a no brainer and can't be screwed up... guess I was wrong.
Pricing is slightly more expensive than Vera's.
It's worth a try - just don't expect this to be the best burger in the world.
I absolutely loved this place when I visited the location in Whistler. The one in Vancouver isn't to the same standard- in Whistler they PILE on the toppings. I remember in Whistler, the cheese was a small mountain on my burger. In Vancouver, the burger is only average size. It still tastes good, but can't rave about it.
This place is run by people who look like they want to form a punk rock band. But the food comes out quickly and it’s delicious.
I had the basic burgers and fries. It’s not very expensive for the high-quality ingredients they appear to have, actually it’s a lot cheaper than other non-fast food burger places around town. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the bun, but it’s ok. I can’t remember the fries, but the burger itself was yum…I will be back.
I went to Splitz with a friend last night and we split the 1/3 lb burger combo. There are 25 or more free toppings you can choose from and includes some distinctive sauces like babaganoush, and homous. The burger was succulent and juicy and it was huge if you add a few toppings. The fries were nothing special but it was served hot and fresh. After adding sauteed mushrooms and swiss cheese (extra add ons that cost money), our combo came up to $12, which includes fries and a drink. Service was quick and efficient and the restaurant was clean. I would definitely return.
We had a coupon for Splitz Grill that expires Nov. 5, so I was itching to try it as I have heard raving reviews from friends.
We got there at 6:00 p.m. and the place was fairly quiet. Staff was very patience with us as this was our first time here and helpful. My hubby and son ordered their splitz burgers and I finally settle for their spicy lentil burger combo. I was so impress with their amount of condiments esp. when they used real cheese, not plastic ones. Thats a big plus for me.
I loved their fries, and their burgers. The restaurant was clean as the cashier was also a busgirl. I like the fact that the staff kept herself busy. I have been to other burger joints where staff stand around chatting with other staff instead of moving their butts and cleaning the tables off.
Good value for your money. I rather pay a couple of dollars more for fresh cut fries, homemade burgers and unlimited toppings.
I will definitely come back again to tried out their turkey and lamb burger.
I've been to Splitz a few times but this time was my last. I just can't spend another cent at a joint with totally pissed off, unfriendly staff. Why would I spend any money to keep them in a job....well the answer is I won't.
The burgers are good, fresh bun, good toppings and a good piece of hamburger meat.
Staff are rude and pissed off, don't have a clue on how to clean a table properly and their overall attitude makes me wonder if they take any care in making sure the food is handled properly.
Just like Veras crappy staff lost them my business so does Splitz.
This is one of my favorite burger joints on this side of town. The meat is very tasty and you get to choose the sauces and ingredients. I like their burgers better Vera's and Fat Burger.
My favorite is the Italian Sausage Burger and the Legendary. I always get them with the splitz sauce. The food is consistantly good and I know what I'm getting. The fries are always fresh and I don't mind the 5 minute wait knowing the food is fresh.
The burgers here are just fantastic. Grab one with the splitz sauce and whatever else you can fit in your mouth and you're good to go.
Value's OK, I don't have too much of a problem with it, because you know there's quality stuff goin in.
Make sure you get here hungry, because a full meal with a burger, fires, and drink should definitely leave you satisfied.
Check out the one in Whistler too, that's where I first heard about it.
When it comes to the food, the closest comparison would be Vera's. A delicious, sloppy burger with high quality ingredients ( for its fast food class, anyways ).
However, Splitz fries are where they lose the battle. Very thick fries need to be double fried for the right amount of time to avoid a starchy undercooked texture in the core. They either don't know about, or bother with this level of detail.
Service was as bad as it gets. My order didn't include the combo I ordered, an honest mistake. I mentioned it to the cooks who set me up with some fries and a drink, and kindly said not to worry about the couple bucks.
Unbelievably, after I sat down, the woman who took the order in the first place ( who I presume is the owner by the way she spoke to the staff ) proceeded to come by and grill me like a criminal, accusing me of trying to sneak a free combo! After some words, the true story came to light and instead of apologizing, she actually kept ranting, justifying her own hostility and made me get up and pay the lousy two dollars!
Even though the burger was pretty good, I won't be back.
I haven't been to Splitz's Whistler location to compare against it's newest Vancouver location, but have heard great things about the Whistler location, so I thought I'd stop on in and try one of their burgers as I was in the area.
I ordered the regular cheeseburger combo (burger, fries and a pop), which worked out to $9.50 before taxes, which is pretty good as far as combos go. Unfortunately, when I went to get my burger (no table service), I was dismayed to see that the burgers are not made to order and that they had another 4 patties sitting, already made (mine being the 5th patty). When I opened up the wrapper, I knew that I was going to need a ton of napkins. It's a messy burger.
My first remark would be the bun - not good for such a messy burger - it practically melted into the meat and toppings. My second remark is the patty itself - way too salty (although I can see why some hungry Whistler skiiers might like it). Last remark is the fries - although they are homecut fries, they tasted oily (maybe they were also pre-made and sitting for the next order). Unfortunately, I would not venture back to this restaurant even though the $9.50 combo is a good deal, the food is not worth it. Burgers Etc. and Modern Burger have nothing to worry about ...
