Looking for some extraordinary burgers and fries. I've tried Burger Etcs and other restaurants and was just wondering what you guys think is the best burger place in the lower mainland? Post place's name and your rating and reasons why!

:thumbsup:

[Sid Vicious]

Not really a burger joint, but the burger they cook at yew is phenomenal.
Hamburger – Sesame Kaiser, Farmhouse Cheddar, Crispy Fries, Porcini, Pancetta and Roasted Onion

[urrh]

dude, i was just thinking of finding the best burger place in the city for next summer.
it sounds like a great summer task

[CRS]

Burger Etc on Hastings won the CTV best burger before and it was ALRIGHT. It wasn't really anything to write how about though they make it fresh and you get to see how they make it. It was a regular burger for the most part.

I still love Bon's jumbo burger.

[miss_crayon]

i hear that place owned by roxy night club is dope
roxy burger? i forgot. it's like 3 stores down from the club.

[KuSouL]

i'll get you the name of this place next time
there's this one in new west = =
was driving my friend home one day and saw that place across the street
was intrigued ~ went the next day
AWESOME

[EssenceGSR]

^^^^ Probaby went to Burger Heaven in New West.

Moderne Burger (W. Broadway) or Red Onion (41st near Arbutus) for me.

[CRS]

^^^^ Probaby went to Burger Heaven in New West.

Moderne Burger (W. Broadway) or Red Onion (41st near Arbutus) for me.

I hear Moderne Burger is rather expensive and for an unseasoned bland burger. With extra toppings for 1.50 each.

[bbbj]

^ I still think Red Onion has a damn good burger. Maybe not the best burger, but damn good.

[dave123]

#1 burger in Vancouver has to be the db Bistro Modern Burger , its a bit pricey at $28 but its really really good. Sirloin, short rib and truffle. The meat melts in your mouth.

[flameboy54]

The best CHEAP AND TASTY burger I've had was at, believe it or not.....Save-On Meats in the DES. $4.50 cheeseburger, can't remember the fixin's (lettuce, tomato, maybe onions, ketchup and mustard?), genuine unprocessed cheese, but the highlight, freshly ground DOUBLE pattie. I'm talking about straight from the meat market at the front of the store. Soooooo soft and juicy! Fries were nothing to brag home about but still good. The fact that the whole cooked food section resembled a old 70's diner (spinning stationary stools, mustard yellow sparkly counter etc) was just gravy on top!

Being a burger buff myself, other places that I've enjoyed a burger...

- Vera's (Daily special's FTW!)
- Cedar Cottage Neighborhood pub's Cottage burger (~$10)
- The Whip's Sirloin burger (~$14, lots of fries!)

[TekDragon]

I still enjoy Vera's burgers. Probably not the best out there, but they are pretty good. Probably the best in Surrey at least. Then again, not much competition out this way.

[bcrdukes]

- Cedar Cottage Neighborhood pub's Cottage burger (~$10)
- The Whip's Sirloin burger (~$14, lots of fries!)

+1 on the above mentioned locations. I absolutely love the Whip's Sirloin burger. The Cedar Cottage pub's Cottage burger is also excellent for a $10 and under burger. :)

what are some other places in surrey?

[Razor Ramon HG]

Went to Cafe Crepe before, I personally enjoyed the burger. It was like 10 bucks I think for a burger with unprocessed swiss or cheddar cheese, the usual fixings and McDonald like fries (my favourite).

[murd0c]

Rodeo drive in :(

I went to Harleys cafe on 84th and fraser hwy and the burgers were ok as well

[jlo mein]

what are some other places in surrey?

Boonie's BBQ and Soul Food at the Cloverdale Curling Rink has a great burger at a reasonable price. It's a double patty with southern hot link sausage, cheese, tomato, lettuce. You can add seasoned fries which have a kick. The pic below is kinda a weird angle, the burger is actually huge.

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m204/jlomein/Boonies/DSC00170.jpg

[!SG]

AGREED!

red onion chicken burger FTW! and their fries w/ french dip.

my usual, is 1 red onion chicken burger + order of fries w/ french dip, and an ice tea.

if im super hungry, i order their spinach salad as well.

Wally's Burger.

gangster episode though

yeah, but their orange milk shakes were still good. i think they got it from the same supplier.

Fat burger comes to mind. They're in langley at 64th and 200 st. I'm not too fond of them. Carl Jr's will be opening up (hopefully soon) at hwy 10 and 152 I think.

[skholla]

Gourmet Burgers
1. Morton's The Steakhouse (special only available on select Sundays)
2. Red Onion
3. Vera's Burger Shack & Splitz Grill
4. Moderne Burger (although prices got jacked way up)
5. ... any local pub burger

Crappy fast food burgers
1. In & Out
2. Fat Burger
3. Carl's Jr.
4. Burger King
5. McDonald's

red robyn's makes a decent burger. pretty much the only thing on the menu

[murd0c]

what are some other places in surrey?

Harleys burger on 84th and fraser hwy right next to the kia dealership

[flameboy54]

3. Vera's Burger Shack & Splitz Grill

Read many mixed reviews of Splitz, really hit and miss...moreso miss then hit. Never tried so I can't say. I heard that the Whistler location is really good.

Also, in the works in a new burger joint just North of King Ed on Main, Copper Watertower or something like that? There's a big banner that's hanging off one rope the last time I drove past it. Not sure when it's due to open.

[Bender Unit]

^ I tried Splitz in both Vancouver & Whistler. They were average IMO.
I will pick Vera over Splitz.
They are pretty close in quality. Make to Order everytime.

[Jermyzy]

I tried Vera's on Graville and 60-something, was pretty good

Wasn't there a place at 152nd and highway 10 before that was supposed to be very good, but eventually had to close b/c the people who owned the land wanted to develop it? Never tried, but I heard it was good

[Liquid_o2]

Vera's is so overhyped and overpriced for what it is.. imo.

I like Red Onion

When you start adding all the stuff onto your burger at Vera it can get pricy =T

Ya, that's the one. The banner was all mangled, only hanging on one side so I didn't catch the name completely. Also thought I saw the word burger in there somewhere also so I assumed it was a burger joint. *shrug*

Anthony Bourdain ate there and filmed it when he was in town doing an episode on Vancouver. He said the burger was really good because of how fresh everything was.

[Alphamale]

^One of the cooks I work with say that Save-On Meats is the place to get great fresh meat of any cut you want. If you think about it, it's probably true, since that place has been there for at LEAST 15 years and is still surviving (despite it's unfortunate location).

[flameboy54]

^ Agreed. Definately more then 15 years since I remember it from when I was 6-7 when my grandma would take me to Woodwards to shop and see the xmas displays on the toy floor.

Unfortunately, it's one of the last independent butcher shops around town. I read the cover story in the Vancouver Courier a few months ago, saying that they're loosing out to the big box supermarkets even though your local butcher would have fresher cuts of meats. I guess it's the convenience of it all. Windsor Meats at Main/King Ed next to the Grind just closed its doors not too long ago. Apparently it's been there for 30+ years?

One more to add to the list: King's Head Pub in Kits. They have a pretty big list of burger, about a dozen plus or minus. Tried the bacon cheese and it was pretty good.

[punkwax]

Burger Heaven is great.
Fat Burger is pretty good too.
Rode Drive-In was awesome 15 years ago. It really went downhill. Oldskool Rambo Burger FTW.

Unless I'm thinking of something completely different.

Yeah, it's on the north side of Hastings and west of Main a couple of blocks. I used to walk by there a bit when I was a kid when my parents would go shopping in Chinatown and Army & Navy.

[aznrsx1979]

For best burgers, I like the following:

Red Robins - California Chicken Burger
Two Parrot's - Beef Burger (can't remember which one i had)
Earl's - They used to have a veggie burger years back that I liked, but I don't think they have it anymore
Still haven't had a good salmon burger yet except for the one my dad makes.

- Vera's (Daily special's FTW!)
- Cedar Cottage Neighborhood pub's Cottage burger (~$10)
- The Whip's Sirloin burger (~$14, lots of fries!)

This guy knows what he's talking about. Cedar Cottage makes a pretty damn good burger and for 10 bucks which includes a side, it's a steal. I haven't been to Save on Meats, but if you think it's even better than Cedar Cottage, then I think it's worth getting jabbed by a used syringe to head down there.

When I used to work at the Keg, I used to order the regular Keg burger for lunch and add on an extra patty for just 2 or 3 bucks more. After you add the extra patty, one just isn't enough. Keg burger patties are made from prime rib but so unhealthy cause you can't cut out the fat.

[Vansterdam]

im so hitting up save on meats after the vapor lounge tmr

[flameboy54]

^ Good call! Me and a few friends were doing Santacon a couple of weeks back, all baked and buzzed, broke away from the crowd and headed down to SOM for a good burger. You can imagine the look on everyones face when you see 3 guys dressed up as Santa walking in, headed straight to the back and mow down on some good ass burgers! Shitty to hear that they're closing down though. Another local institution bites the dust...:(

Another one to add to my list....Subeez/Wazubees turkey & sun-dried tomato burger. It's not on the menu all the time though, it only be a seasonal burger. Anyhow, if you get a chance, try it. There was one time my friend that it wasn't good but all the times I've had it, it passed with flying colours.

[Vansterdam]

so i went yesterday and man i must say its a DAM GOOD BURGER for the price to wow its a awesome deal.

suchhhhhhh a good munchable i wish i had one right now :high:

next time i wanna try 4 patties + bacon and mushroom LOL harsh will own the baconator ftw.

gst is included as well and its only 4.50 for a double cheeseburger with fries

VERAS is now a chain? WTF? When the hell did that happen?

VERAS used to be VERAS BURGER SHACK on Cornwall in kits. Is that one still there? That little joint had the best burgers for sure. I had no idea it had blown up into a chain? I’ve been away from here for too long…..

[hotjoint]

I still enjoy Vera's burgers. Probably not the best out there, but they are pretty good. Probably the best in Surrey at least. Then again, not much competition out this way.

I've been there a few times and NOTHING there is good....just average at best.
Memphis Blues does southern BBQ better and a tastier burger can be had at Moderne Burger

The burgers at the Wallflower Modern Diner on Main Street are awesome. Fresh and juicy loaded with fresh condiments with your choice of different variations served with tasty thing-cut fries. Good environment, R&B Brewery beer on tap, $3.50 highballs and $5 doubles, friendly staff, chill-relaxed environment and not heavy on the wallet. :)

Not sure if any of you guys know but SOM is slated to close on March 14th if it doesn't find a buyer...

Owner Al DesLauriers is 78, and wants to retire. He quietly put the Save-on-Meats building at 43 West Hastings up for sale last year for $3 million, and may close the business down on March 14 if he can’t find a buyer.

Source (http://www.vancouversun.com/Save+Meats+owner+seeks+buyer+save+historic+store/1177768/story.html)

I might make it a weekly thing to go with some buddies until it closes but I sure hope it stays open. It's definately an institution here in Vancouver. Also, with a little refurbishing of the inside, business will only go up once the Woodwards opens up.

Yeah the burgers always come with a salad and baked potatoes. I think its because they don't have a deep fryer.

Anyone try Fatburger in downtown? How are their burgers and prices?

Burgers are very similar to the fully dressed White Spot or In-N-Out burgers (with cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc). Fatburger does have other unique extra you can add on like a fried egg. Shakes are decent. Overall its ok but a little overpriced. Most Fatburger locations have a Vera's Burger nearby, and I would much rather eat there.

It says the coffee shop is still open, so does that mean they are still making burgers? Although I'm not sure where they would get the meat now haha.

should still be open. ill see if i can make a trip down there this week.

fatburger is like jlo said, similar to whitespot. overpriced though. i only get it once a year, and it's always (surprisingly) during celebration of lights when im around the area.

[bcrdukes]

Yeah the burgers always come with a salad and baked potatoes. I think its because they don't have a deep fryer.

Hmm...but they serve calamari. :confused:

Oh well.

[tough]

can someone tell me where the closest harvey's is from RICHMOND thanks

[K-Dub]

adurrr

home depot @ bridgeport. -_-
check the harveys site

[!SG]

so went down to seattle to visit some relatives, on the way back, stopped off for some shopping and.... FOUND THE CARL'S JUNIOR!!!

oh yeah, exit #204. its next to the tacobell, starbucks plaza...

last time i had one of these was like years ago just outside of vegas heading towards the grand canyon. as for a fast food joint, its damn good!

ordered the regular famous burger. this is SUPPOSE to be the size of a junior whopper, or its competitor, but hell no, this thing is huge! and an order of the chilli cheese fries...

good stuff!

on the side note, they opened up a jack in the box right across the border, like 3 minutes past the border right off the highway in the business shopping outlet!

[Meowjin]

^yeah when ever i go down to the monastery i always stop there.

i like the 6 dollar avocado burger.

[!SG]

too much! i saw someone order it, holy fuck! the burgers are huge! i whimped out and got the smallest burger on the menu, the regular famous burger. and im glad i did! im whimping out these days, stomach shrunk, i cant even eat a full subway sandwich anymore!

i skipped the fries, felt good skipping all those carbs... hahaha and drowned my sorrow in diet pop

[dark0821]

wow.. haha.. sound good.. will stop by next time... mm..

[WHEYsted]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the Whopper at BK? It's so good for a fast food burger and It fills you up fast.

[Splmash]

Go to A&W and get the animal burger! I believe its 6 patties, bacon, cheese. They used to put a hotdog on it and a fried egg.

Reminds me of In N Out Burger down south. You can order the number of patties and cheese slices you want. You just go like, "4 x 4(for 4 patties with 4 cheese slices) burger" and they make it fresh and delicious. Animal style too!

Mmmm... I miss In N Out =\

[411ken]

If you guys go down to Carl's JR. again, try the "Bourbon Burger"! It's awesome and highly recommended by me lol....they take it out of the menu from time to time but if you see it, do yourself a favor and try it out hehehe.

[ryan9939]

I'm a fan of the whitespot double double burger.

[dhawes]

I worked at Red onion for about 2 days, the owner is a GREAT guy, the burgers are alright, but i would NOT eat the chicken.

[OriginalJC]

The last month I've been addicted to the Swiss burger at Montana's.

Absolutely amazing, been there every weekend for the last month =P

[mako]

I go to the one at coquitlam center.
Big juicy angus burger, swiss cheese, sauteed mushrooms, topped off with some onion rings. Damn, I'm hungry now.

[Girl]

This is the worst thread to read when you're starving at 2am at night and your fridge is completely empty.

[skyxx]

[J-Chow]

daymn. My eyes are half awake.

I swore I read Big Juicy Anus Burger.

Clearly, it's time to go to bed soon.

[ilvtofu]

Had the bishop's burger at white spot yesterday, pretty average, there's some blue cheese or some other type of cheese on it I think and that wasn't bad. Expensive though

Really like the mushroom burger at Red Robin's.

Tried the A&W sirloin uncle burger, Meh'ed... too expensive too

[skyxx]

^ That sirloin burger sucks balls. lol I even went an extra mile and tried the Cheese and bacon one too but no dice....

[mako]

the a&w sirloin is at least better than the mcdicks angus

[Okami]

the sirloin burger has little bursts of salt water in the patty.. it was ok..

angus burger sux a mcDICK..

the best fast food burger is the dairy queen flame thrower grill burger.. but its expensive for a fast food burger.. (like 8 bucks for the combo)

also.. baconator sux too..

[2damaxmr2]

Jack in the Box. BBQ bacon sirloin burger

Slightly off topic, but has anyone else had the Smokehouse Burger from ESPN Zone in the states? Was I just really hungry or is it truly an unforgettable burger?

[Vansterdam]

[mako]

I had a very good burger at Cafe Crepe the other day. Went to the newly renovated one on Granville and 12th. $7.50, plain hamburger. Cheese and bacon are extra obviously. It was cooked well, juicy and tender. Thin cut fries were freshly fried.

For the price, A+. However, lukewarm coffee was a fail.

Romer’s Burger Bar – River District, Vancouver | 604 Foodtography (http://www.604foodtography.com/2011/07/24/romers-burger-bar-river-district-vancouver/)

[twitchyzero]

There was a burger I ate at Firefighters bar/lounge(?) place beside Metrotown/Bonsor. It's more directed for an older audience, but before, we knew one of the cooks so we went a couple times.

They had this burger called a 3-alarm burger... Holy. Massive sirloin patty, hot dog sausage, bacon, fried egg, cheese. Soooooo orgasmic, plus you get a massive side of fries/onion rings/ or salad for 11-13$!

When you are eating it you :sweetjesus: but afterwards you feel like you are about to have a heart attack.

Anyone else have it before?

Call ahead and ask. I know that they changed the menu since some chef's left.

My favourite burgers joints:

Pauls restaurant in burnaby
Burgers etc

[Traum]

Been going to the Sportstown tavern lately, and I must say, their Tuesday burger special (for $3!) is pretty darn good. It ain't anything fancy, but hey, at $3, it is absolutely the best burger you can get.
