Vera’s Burger Shack

Went to the Vera’s in Pitt Meadows for the first time at any Vera’s. Had a taste for a burger and it was close to the theatre so figured we’d give it a try. When we saw they had a Philly Cheesesteak however we had to change our order and I am SO glad I did! It was simply amazing! AMAZING!
Was so good that I had to go back again with some friends one who followed my lead and also raved about it! They also had the Sweet Potato Fries which they said were scrumptious too. That plus the beer they offer makes this place my new Go To fave! One day I’ll have to try their burger but it will be awhile before I can get by their amazing Philly Cheesesteak! Bravo!

Great classic burgers and like the fact the TVs have sports on. It is kinda hard to find because it is in a corner of the plaza.

Nice little space… just off of Fraser Hwy in an extended strip mall complex…
Ordering went quickly… it wasn’t super busy at the time we were there, so the food production went pretty quick too. We ordered the Monday special (Canuck burger… bacon/​chedar), and made one of the included fries into a poutine (small up charge for that).
The fries were smoking hot when they came to us (the burger… not as much so… not cold, just not as blistering hot). This made the poutine cheese melt quickly… the gravy was hot too, but salty as all get out.
Overall… a fairly average Vera’s visit… which is nice the age of Vera’s franchise era… consistency and quality are usually hit and miss now… so… good on ya for a nice visit.

Use to love Vera’s burgers but they have gone downhill fast.
I stopped go to the one on Granville street awhile ago, just was not good anymore.
Decided Iwould try this one.
Bad idea.
Burger was so overcook yet really greasy at same time.
No real taste to it…
Ordered onion rings as i am not really a fry guy.
Socky greasy and just plane gross.
Would rather go to DQ for have the price…
Sad that thier quality has gone down so much.
I won’t be back.

I really wanted to like the burgers since my husband loves them and I had read some great reviews but they just don’t do it for me. I have tried a couple of times here and at a now closed location and both were just ok. Found them somewhat dry and not a lot of flavour (a faint burnt taste). The fries were really good once and really salty another time. Hubby ordered so I can’t comment on the service other then we didn’t have to wait long. I think I’ll choose to go somewhere else when the burger craving hits!

Very impressed! Had the Canuck burger which batted way above its $ 9.50 price tag. Fresh and cooked perfectly. The only flaw is the menu /​ordering system. A little awkward. I’ll be back though!

NOt Your Fast Food Burger!
It’s pretty yumy here. Wayyy Better than typical fast food burgers. They only miss the 5 star because the fries are inconsistent. Sometimes great, sometimes a little soft and undercooked (fat fries). So I give this place 4 star if I could! my only place for Burgers!

I came to Vera’s after trying Fatburger, mainly because of several Fatburger reviews where people compared the two restaurant chains, and mentioned how much better the burgers at Vera’s Burger Shack are.
Sooooo… I’m going to keep this review very short and to the point: I’ve just had the best burger chain burger that I’ve EVER had in my life! I’m not kidding, and I’m not exaggerating.
Fatburger (the West Broadway location — see review here:
) was a real treat; I truly enjoyed the burger, fries, and shake. But as much as I enjoyed what they have to offer, I have to say that speaking strictly about the burgers, Fatburger comes in second; Vera’s is MUCH BETTER.
The guy at the restaurant showed me the broiler, and it looks similar to how they do a toasted sub at Quizno’s; the burger patty goes in at one end raw, and comes out done at the other end perfectly (and also consistently) done. One nice comparison with Fatburger is that the burger I had at Vera’s was NOT loaded with a couple of ounces of liquid dripping all over the place. The quality of the meat was outstanding, and the burger was not greasy.
The basket of fries was huge, about double the size of Fatburger’s respectable side of fries, but much better, although I would have preferred that they not add salt, as they have a salt shaker at the table, so I can add it if I want it, which I don’t. But they weren’t overly salty.
BEER ON TAP! Granville Isle. pale ale and lager. Next time! (had a shake this time)
The burgers here are on the pricey side, but I had to say that they are worth the money. You can upgrade your burger with roasted garlic and other niceties, and easily turn your seven dollar burger into a 20 plus dollar thing if you really want to, but I suspect that the ROI would rapidly diminish as you add more and more of their expensive toppings. Just keeping the burger simple, with the addition of roasted garlic, was great. It didn’t really need anything else. I’ll add that I got mine with no mayo or ‘Vera’s Sauce’ (really just mayo with garlic).
’nuff said. This review is a bit longer than I intended to make it, but I’ll leave it as is.
Do yourself a favor and visit Vera’s for a burger at least once before you die.

Meh… It’s ok… Agree with the one guy abut the menu location being a total after thought. Burger was good, but atmosphere seemed weird. Bunch of massive folks horking down massive burgers…
Don’t get me wrong. It’s a good burger and the fries are fine… But I really felt ripped off over the price. Come on… 20bucks for 2 burger platters? Sheesh…
Plus the whole place is designed like a mom and pop joint that makes you think it should be cheaper. This was my first and last Vera’s

Meh. I Have experienced better!
So Vera’s finally opened out here in what is basically Langley, but still considered Surrey. Gave it a try tonight, not very happy with them. I gave them time to open and get hiccups out of the way.
Their menu is kind of weird, its up against the wall by the till, you have to look at it on a funny angle. Plus it stops other standing behind you in line from looking at it. So I came in, and stood at the till. There were three employees standing near the back, and one sitting at a table near the back. At first I wasn’t paid any attention and I thought maybe I was supposed to go to the back to order. Eventually though, a guy came up. I don’t know if he was new or what but he seemed unsure of himself. Eventually I paid and he wanted me to sign the debit copy, which I told him I didn’t need to, thanks.
Grabbed my drink and went to look for a table. There are maybe 6 or 7 in a row on one side, and then two more on the other side near the front. One table is a half table. Although there was no one sitting at most of the tables, and the employees had time to be all hanging out at the back, over half the tables were dirty, unwiped and with the previous peoples leftovers etc still on the table. I looked around at the employees like, hint hint! I’d like a clean table if possible! But they ignored my pleading glances. I sat down at a dirty table and awaited my food. The burger itself was alright, but tasted different than the one I had at the now closed Fraser Heights location (Baja burger). Don’t know why!
Probably won’t go back to that location unless a friend wants to go or something.

Very expensive for what it was, we had take out and I must say I was not inpressed!
