I had a groupon for this pub so I decided to go out today to try their burger. When it came, I asked, “who stabbed my burger” But thee knife if just there to hold everything together. The burger is described as “6oz charbroiled prime rib patty, topped with cheddar cheese & bacon, served with mayo and our special sauce”
When I took my first bite, I could tell immediately that it was was cooked over a flame — I love that flavour. The burger was big and tasted great. I’d go back. The burger cost $11.95, so it sneaks in the cheapest category. !

Burger Burger – 6oz Burger
Well, I was in New West today and I wanted a fast lunch. Unfortunately, I came here. Sorry, I shouldn’t be so harsh; I mean for what I paid for ($4.45 + $0.85 for bacon and $0.85 for cheese), the burger was decent – good bun, not too greasy, ok taste. Its just not on par with an awesome hamburger and I’ve had my fair share of those ! I shouldn’t diss this place to much – They’re friendly, fast and cheap. Ive got to say, for the price, this is a winner. Overall, for burger quality, it doesn’t stack up, but of course, you’ll pay double for a awesome burger in this town. Burger Burger is located on 6th Street in New Westminster.

Red Robin – Guacamole Bacon Burger
I’ve been to Red Robin many times, but not since I started this blog. They advertise as Canada’s Gourmet Burger Restaurant. T o tell you the truth, I’ve never had a bad burger here – They just know how to make a good burger. This time was no exception. I had the Guacamole Bacon Burger, which is described as having: zesty guacamole and thick sliced applewood smoked bacon topped with melted Swiss cheese, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes & mayo. Not much to say here – The burger was cooked fast, tasted great and I’ll come back ! The price was around $11.50 before tax.
Cannibal Cafe – American Classic Burger
There’s a new burger joint on Commercial Drive (1818) and its name is the Cannibal Cafe and they serve beef, not human, so its safe. I had their American Classic Burger, which comprises of a 6 oz house-made burger (or 2-3 oz patties if you prefer), with American cheese (processed), tomato, onion, iceberg lettuce, house ketchup, stone-ground mustard and mayo. I substituted for real cheddar cheese and added bacon and avocado for an extra $1 each. NOTE, with the additions, the price goes into the next category. As the meat is ground in house, you have the option to have it done to your preference – I had mine done medium – In retrospect, I should have have it med well, as I didn’t really like the blood dripping in the bun. Overall, the burger was very good, perfectly cooked and well presented. Bottom line… sure, I’d go back here again !
Five Guys Burgers and Fries – Bacon Cheese Burger
Ive been wanting to try this place out for a while now. They opened up a restaurant in Freemont Village in Port Coquitlam so I decided to take the plunge. When entering the restaurant, someone yells “DOOR”. You then have the option of a hamburger, cheeseburger or bacon cheeseburger and there are about 15 free toppings to choose from. The burger was great – very tasty – not too greasy. I will definitely be going back here !
And, from now on, I won’t be ranking my burgers – I’ll just say whether I’ll go back or not.
Tomahawk Restaurant – Chief Dominic Charlie Burger
After watching some Vancouver Open Tennis Action up at Hollyburn, I decided to try this place, which has been on the radar for some time. They have a wide selection of burgers on their menu and I decided to go for the Chief Dominic Charlie Burger, which is described as “Lettuce, organic ground beef patty, grilled Yukon-style bacon, aged cheddar cheese, tomato and Tomahawk special sauce. I wasn’t too impressed with the burger – the taste just wasn’t there for me. It didn’t seem like the commanding burger the description set it out to be – just seemed kind of small, not much to it. The special sauce wasn’t anything special. Bottom line is I wouldn’t go back. I guess in my haste, I forgot to remember the price, so I don’t have that info !

Save-On Meats – The Burger
Well, I finally got around to visiting the revamped Save-On Meats on West Hastings. From what I’ve read and heard, Save-On Meats prides themselves on their hamburger – they even claim it to be “The Best Damn Deal in town”. According to their website, the burgers are made with hand ground chuck steak and fresh herbs daily. The burgers are topped with their butcher shop bacon, melted cheddar, smoky BBQ sauce, tomato and lettuce. It comes with a choice of fries, mash, coleslaw or a green salad. All this for $6.00. Going in I thought to myself, how can you get a good burger for $6.00, so my expectations were not high. However, after having the burger, I was pleasantly surprised. This burger was great. The herbs in the burger and the sauce really make this burger. The beef was nice and moist too and not greasy, which is always a plus ! For $6.00, this is in the lower price category, but this would rank high in the $8.00 – $11.99 category too ! I highly recommend this burger if you’re in the area. Bottom line – We have a new #1 in the category “Less than $7.99″

Splitz – Legendary Splitz Burger – Double Stacker
Was referred to this place by another hamburger joint. Must say, I was hungry and it was a long time since I had a burger, so I had their double stacker – that’s 2/3 pound – that’s 10 2/3 ounces !! This burger was great – they use shredded cheese like another place I’ve been to and it really brings out the cheese flavour – makes sense – more surface area, more flavour. I couldn’t believe I ate the whole thing – it was really good. I wasn’t hungry for another 10 hours ! I would go back here any day and recommend it for anyone who likes burgers. I can’t remember the price for the burger alone, but with the extra cost for cheese, bacon, fries and a drink, the whole thing cost $16.74 – Can’t compare this with my other prices listed, as this was a double stacker and came with fries and a drink – The cost before all the extras is just in line with most burger joints. The photo doesn’t give the burger justice – must have had bad lighting !

Burger55 – Classic Beef Burger
Well, I had a recent trip to the great town of Penticton and before going I researched to find a great burger place. What I came up with was Burger55. This little restaurant, which has been in business for about two years, delivers some serious food. To say the least, I was not disappointed. Upon entry, you grab a clipboard and design your own burger. I had mine with an Angus Burger, tomato, lettuce, pickle, banana peppers, Canadian Back Bacon, aged cheddar cheese, the 55 Signature spread all on a cracked wheat bun. The burger was cooked to order and all the ingredients were fresh. Oh my gawd – I sunk my teeth into this beauty and enjoyed every bite – it tasted so good. I can’t wait to come back ! This burger would stand up to almost anything I’ve had before.
