50 Best Burger Restaurants in Vancouver

“Ok I am going to start off this review by being a little bit conceded so I apologize in advance. I am not going to say I'm an expert in smashburgers or burgers in general, but my Knowledge of such more than likely surpasses most that have or will walk through their doors. I have been making and obsessing over smashburgers myself for well over a decade. So I can say with the utmost confidence that these SO FAR are most certainly the best smashburgers in the city. Simple, great crust with some nice lacy edges while still remaining relatively juicy, house made mayo, American cheese and very well caramelized onions. I then talked to a man whom I would assume was the owner and he obviously has great confidence and love for his burgers. He explained that the beef is grass fed and grass finished from local farms, I only wished I asked the grind and fat content, between 25 and 30% is the sweet spot for me. But I digress, you can't go wrong with these burgs so go now and go often! Especially when they open their brick and mortar spot.

Vegetarian options: Impossible for the veggie eaters out there. The only way to get go. Beyond kinda sucks.“

“One of the best burgers we’ve had in a long time ! Chicken was juicy , tasted fresh ! Brioche bun was buttery , all the flavours put together were delicious.. if you want a bit spicy add the pickled Serrano peppers. Friendly staff and they bring your order out to you. Overall really good experience ! Cute little patio area would be great for summer , we came when it was still a bit chilly .“

“great experience with pleasant staff at this location. food is hot, fresh and correct. they were very busy however I didn't need to wait long. price is a bit high for a chain restaurant but they give enough fries, have free peanuts and the meat is not thin as paper so I was actually full. surprsing clean dining area, bathrooms, and kitchen area during my visit which I have not seen in my recent visits to many fast food restaurants. enjoyed a yummy quick bite. love the burgers customizable with free cheese and bacon as toppings“

“This place has amazing food, and lovely staff. Their burgers were fresh, homemade and to die for! ;) I will be a repeat visitor for sure!“

“Great food and great ambience.“

“Showed up while they were still opening and they dropped everything to make my order. Super nice staff, they care about their customers and the burgers are elite. Try the jalapeno bacon burger if you're up for the spice, the side dip is the perfect complement. Will definitely be back!“

“Sat outside on a nice Vancouver day and had a few cocktails with lunch. Outstanding food and service! Fun people watching from the patio. Vegan poutine? I’m sold.

“wandered in on a fluke yesterday, not realizing the type of restaurant it was but wanted to stay in the air conditioning. and I was given the most unbelievably tasty food by an excellent server. definitely 10/10 and will go back next time I'm in the area“

“Always a go to place when they are around where I work. Good food at a good price“

“Absolutely wonderful location. Large setup with seating for hundreds at multiple level including outside seating.Food was quite okay, not really impressive, but nothing to complain about.Service was prompt and attentive.Wonderful place for the atmosphere. One of the few places which is open in the area till late night.“

“HiFive Chicken truly impressed me with its exceptional taste and quality. From the first bite, I knew I was in for a treat. The chicken was cooked to perfection, tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Every bite was bursting with flavor, leaving me wanting more.At HiFive Chicken, not only was the food exceptionally good, but the service was also top-notch. Cashier Vicky greeted me with a warm smile and was incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout my visit. It's rare to find such a perfect combination of delicious food and excellent customer service.“

“This location is way way better and staff are very nice and friendly regardless of being a "fast food restaurant" I like buddy burgers, they get the job done ? and you do not have to wait 30 minutes like other locations.Can't find a parking?Park on the south side eastbound 49th plenty of them.“

“We tried the brunch at the Templeton for the first time today. The food was great and the staff were amazing. There was a line up but one of the staff was given us updates and making sure that we are doing ok. We used the time to look at the menu so we were ready to order when we sat down.We had a little bit of everything, and all tasted really good. On top of that we tried their milkshake which was very delicious.The vibe, food , and hospitality were worthy of the wait. Definitely will suggest them and try their food again.“

“Burgers are always good here. Our server was great overall, also checked up regularly even after we finished eating and were just visiting. Atmosphere was comfortable and clean. Music is a touch on the louder side, so sit close to chat, otherwise good selection.“

“Hidden gem in Vancouver, went there because i saw a review from Stephen Eats on youtube, and they delivered, the patty is delicious, crispy on the outside and so juicy in the inside, the bacon on it is a 10 out of 10, a bit in the salty side but hands down tasty… so far the best in Vancouver… still have to try some other joint, but take it from a foody, this is a place to go for a great burger, value is a 10 out of 10 too.“

“This is a “real” burger spot. Not a cheap burger sold to you as a 20$ “experience”Grab a napkin.Found this place on a random stroll. It is now our go to burger joint.Burger: chuck is unique, I’d say on the thinner side, but the best tasting I’ve had in the city. Would recommend a double patty. The house sauce is incredible.The restaurant: awesome vibes, reminds me of an old school diner with modern spin with music and lighting. A few times I’ve come they have had a live DJ and even clothing artists showing off collections during happy hour. Usually busy, but havn’t had an issue with sitting down immediately.Staff: never had a bad experience, staff have always been friendly. I have come in on the wire to closing time a couple of times, expecting to be turned away, service was all the same.Price: most plain burgers in the city start at $15+ … their deluxe or all in burgers would be the same price, so very competitive if not a deal. Not sure how the shade being thrown at their pricing is justified, McDonald’s starts at 4.50 these days for a McDouble. Would recommend happy hour: burgers are $7 for price savingsThe Chocolate Maraschino Milkshake is a flippin gem at this joint, would highly recommend.“

“Hidden gem in kitsilano. Excellent happy hour & burgers french fries are awsome. Staff are friendly and so accommodating. The patio is a great place to sit and people watch. Highly recommend. They also have a great bar!

Dietary restrictions: Very helpful for gluten free options“

“I’m a regular here- sometimes just a coffee and hash brown, sometimes a teen burger meal. But ALWAYS receive wonderful service. The team here is consistently friendly and polite, and always working hard (never standing around). Their kindness is why I am a frequently returning customer ! :)“

“Roxy Burger has the best service possible. The servers were very attentive and the bartender was very kind.“

“I love Ruby she makes this place feel like home. Everytime i come here she takes care of me adove and beyond. When i finish work and i come here to have some food she literally makes my bad day to be better. She is an absolute sunshine. She deserves a raise i have seen her deal with bad situations and she is so patient. Ill always come to see her an enjoy seeing her beautiful face. ?“

“2nd stop of the evening for us in Gastown Vancouver. 1st was Clough club where I mentioned in a previous review, had fantastic happy hour pricing and recommended you start your night there if your are planning on hops. Pourhouse was nice, more upscale but not too posh.“

“Great Experience great staff“

“delicious food, great service, looking forward to going back!“

“Always a go to place when they are around where I work. Good food at a good price“

“I have a friend who lives in Germany who loves Fat burger and is one of the few people who can eat a triple fat burger! We went there last week and once he finished his triple fatburger they gave him a coupon for a king fatburger! Which he had today before heading back to Germany. Fatburger, consider open locations in Germany!

Parking: They have 2 spots in their parking lot, street paid parking and if you want to park illegally, "free parking" across the street“

“Great food and service !!“

“Quick, kind, and generous. Easily the best fish and chips I've ever had, but that pales in comparison to the service and atmosphere, ESPECIALLY for the affordable price. It costs less to get a Lyft or Uber from nearby than to eat at their competitors, and it is well worth it. Don't forget to get the fresh tartar sauce! Thanks for having us! Must-visit for Vancouver!“

“Got the apple fritter and one sprinkled donut pretty tasty and fresh“

“Looked a long time for a really good burger, finally found it at DownLow Burgers. Burgers are packed with just the right fixings, the meat is juicy and really well cooked. To boot, the food comes out quickly and the staff are friendly. Our favourite for a great balance between taste and cost!“

“I don't mind the price for eating a good burger but I'd expect the whole meal to be of a higher standard. Service is always great. But, the curly fries I received looked much like the bottom of the fry tray at the end of the night, so short and scraped together they barely pass as curved fries.“

“Vera's Burger Shack offers a delightful dining experience with their mouthwatering burgers that are cooked to perfection. The menu boasts a variety of options to cater to every taste preference, from classic cheeseburgers to gourmet creations. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the service is friendly and efficient. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Whether you're a burger aficionado or just looking for a satisfying meal, Vera's Burger Shack is a must-visit spot for delicious food in a welcoming environment.“

“Ordered a spicy chicken sandwich.I was pleasantly surprised that there is some original stuff going on here. Haven’t seen a slice of cheese on a chicken sandwich for a while.The portion of chicken was absolutely gargantuan, and was incredibly well cooked. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.Well done!“

“I love sweet an sour Chicken fingers from A/ W my favs“

“Great to be dog friendly.“

“Just delicious!!! If you like burgers, you must go!“

“GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT FOOD!!!“

“I ordered for pick up and arrived early. The guy serving me told me it was almost ready. A couple mins later I was out the door and got eating in while in my car. Burger was good. Perfect meaty patty, bun and all the fixings. The disappointment was the temperature for both the burger and fries. Both were warm. I would have expected to wait because it wasn't quite ready to have had an experience where both were hot and suggests that it was freshly cooked.Great service. And probably still one of the better burger places nearby. Not sure if I'll be back anytime soon.“
