Burger hankerings sometimes manifest itself so my gf and I spread our wings and visited what I found to be one of the more consistent Vera's over the past decade.

Going with the Canuck burger option was easy and what you'll get is a no-frills patty with no filler while heavy on the taste of ground beef. The compilation is somewhat messy so eating this on the go is best avoided. I've never found the fries and onion rings to be good here and safe to say, after numerous visits over the years they are still mediocre. Overdue oil or simply oil soaked carb fills makes these sides unappealing.

I wouldn't expect much with the service as it is mostly counter service details through and through but it has always been friendly on my visits. However, this recent visit yielded an overcharge issue on my Visa which I am currently dealing with. This is the first time I've had this issue so take that for what it's worth.

The space is "cozy" but feels and looks dingy. I must say it is rare to find franchisees with their state of physical disarray.

Safe bet would be to stick with the burgers entirely.

Now that I’ve had the G-Money Burger, I can say I like the Lamb Burgers better. The G-Money is way over the top. This Burger doesn’t have a chance at been a sophistication eat. The double cheese, double patty and double mushroom (very few mushrooms) turns into a greasy goopy mess in a bun. I attacked the burger by making it into a double open face burger. Good idea? But ate way too much, burped burger grease all evening. Leave your calorie counter at home and regret the choice.

Went in past Monday nite; place was jampacked. But the smell of bacon drew us in. My boyfriend and i both ordered the special of the day which was a Canuck Burger; bacon cheeseburger. We orderd them with the "Works" but nothing spicy. These were the best burgers w'eve both had in awhile. Toasted bun with a juicy patty and loaded up with toppings. Cheese was melted while the bacon was crispy. Fries were good too. Will be back soon...Loved it!! :)

I am pretty sure they use frozen patties, not freshly made. How do I know? Because inside the middle of the burger, the meat is a little bit raw and pink. I didn't eat that part. Anyone has cooked meat not completely defrosted at home knows it, meat is hard to cook through and usually inside the middle of the meat is still a little bit raw after the outside is too well done or burnt. That explains why so many reviews here say their burger is raw or burnt.

It's summer, of course you want to hang out at English Bay and eat something. So my choice for lunch was Vera Burger. I regretted. Food is bad. Service is slow and not friendly. They are understaffed. Ambiance? The place looks dingy and smelly.

For people who snob fast food chains like McDonald's or Wendy's or Burger King's and prefer the so called "6 Dollar Burger"(it's probably 7 dollars now), you probably won't be a snob no more after you have Vera's yucky burger. Vera's burger tastes so bad, burgers from those chains beat Vera's without a doubt. There is no point eating at Vera when big fast food chains' food is actually fresher and tastes better than Vera's. They are certainly faster and cheaper than Vera's.

If I want a burger made from frozen patty, I would go to McDonald's. At least McDonald's burger is never raw and some stores (depends on location) are clean and big enough, not smelly, small and dingy like Vera.

I can't believe Vera can actually sell franchise to people. What idiots would buy it? And they even have investors. Dumb investors! They are going to lose their money.

When there on Monday with 3 other people and there was only one person working. The girl working without hesitation was a bitch with alot of attitute. We waited to order for more than 10 minutes until she ever looked at us ever though there was only 2 burgers on the grill. When we order two of the burger were raw and she gave us a lamb burger which nobody ordered. When we told her about it she rolled her eyes and said that we made the mistake not her and the burger were not raw. So rather than fight with her we left our food behind and left. We will never go there again. It appears to me that Veras is more interested in growing than actually keeping up with customer service and hiring pleasant people rather than bitches. If they keep going this way they will close down. Moderne burger service is much better and their food is very good. STAY AWAY FROM VERAS!!

I still remember the day when they opened. I was so proud of finding such a gem that I took my friend visiting from the UK there, and he loved it too. But since then, I've had a few disappointments. First, they discontinued my beloved spicy wedges. What's left are the skinny tastless fries or overly oily onion rings. Also, I order to go a few times and twice the burger patties were burned and had to be discarded. Of course, I already left the place so could not complain. My favourite has got to be Doug's special. I still go there for the Doug's when I crave a nice burger.

Great burger joint, I found the toppings interesting, the staff could have guided me a little more in the toppings but now I know for next time, I had the turkey burger (one of the few places that makes their own patties) and my date the chicken, both were awesome. The wedges were good but next time I'll try the fries. I had a shake that was straw clogging good, it is my new favourite burger joint.

Was down for a walk with my daughter this past Sunday at English Bay when I decided to stop into the Veras on Denman St to grab a quick bite. I have been going to this location for about a year on and off since we moved into the area. I have generally found the burgers there pretty tasty but have noticed the staff does change over quite a bit, so service hasn't really stood out. It was about 2 pm and there was a lineup to the cashier of about 6 people while the tables inside were almost all full. We almost left because the couple in front were taking a long time with their order and changed it twice. C'mon people, is is that hard to figure out what to have for lunch? We ordered a Veras burger with cheese and bacon and a kid's order of chicken fingers to go. The guy taking my order took my name and told me that it would be about 10 minutes to be ready. But during our wait, a patio table became available, so we sat down to people watch while we waited. Our food took closer to 15 minutes but it was worth it. They actually brought our order to the table because I couldn't hear my name being called out. The burger was moist and had a nice fresh grilled flavor to it while the chicken fingers and fries were hot. The meal with two drinks came in a little over 20 dollars. The place was a little hot and smoky but our seats were outside and i found it added to the charm of the place. And as we were leaving, my daughter tugged on my shirt and said that someone was waving to us inside. I looked back and it was the guy who took our order waving goodbye.

Was in the West-End area for a late lunch and wanted to try Vera's Burger. After a bit of consideration, I ordered the lamb burger with lettuce, tomato, onions with mustard and mayo (that's what I think, more below). As a side, I ordered onion rings and had a coke.

A 1 for service rating might be overkill; however, I simply can't help it. The girl at the cashier was helpful guiding me through my order. But, the tables weren't cleaned and had to do it myself. Big no, no here. As for ambiance, there is not much to talk about, considering the size of the place.

The burger was done after a couple of minutes with the basket of onion rings. The onion rings was a bit disappointing. Several of the rings were attached together, as if, when frying, they didn't let them spread around. Also, the oil was still dripping from the rings. Sure, they were piping hot but that's not how you serve them. You must let them rest a bit before serving; otherwise, when you take a bite, you will pull the onion from the batter.

As for the burger, somehow, it had feta cheese. I don't recall ordering the cheese but it was an odd surprise. It gave an interesting twist to the burger. Flavorwise, there is an unwritten rule about burgers: if you use only one napkin, then it is not juicy enough. And, for this one, I used several napkins. So, yes, it was good.

Unfortunately for Vera's, I have had better lamb burgers in other places and they were the same if not better. Price-wise, I think Vera's is too expensive for what they deliver, especially when you add sides and drinks. I might come back some other time to try the other burgers but won't be ordering anything else.

I've tried to like Vera's. Went to the one on Cornwall quite a long time ago, back then it was the place with the broken exhaust fan so we just reeked of grease by the time we left, this coupled with the totally indifferent/unfriendly staff (ok minimum wage is a bitch but get on with it!) and basically ho-hum burger made we wonder what all the hype was about.

Fast forward 2 yrs and I decided to give the Vera's on Denman another shot. Lo and behold the staff still suck! Yup I guess the minimum wage hasn't gone up in 2 yrs. I ordered up a burger, added up all the fixings I wanted along with fries and a shake and I was at 16 bucks! 16 bucks for a burger,fries and shake? Yup I agree that is retarded. This better be a great burger, alas the meal was fine, actually better than my previous experience but this wasn't a 16 buck burger.

My biggest pet peeve is still the crapola staff, when I went the place was empty and the girls working behind the counter were just chatting, you know the kind of talking that makes you think they are peeved you dared interrupt them. When my burger was done the lard butt behind the counter had to call my order up as it was too much trouble for her to walk the 5 feet to my table to deliver the food. This is it Vera folks, I just can't give you anymore chances.
