Burgers & Tacos at Fatburger on Denman

Over the years, I have been to the Fatburger on Denman from time to time to satisfy some fast food burger cravings.  Its location on Denman attracts residents and visitors of the West End who want a cheap and reasonably tasting burger.  This year, Fatburger is celebrating their 10th year in Canada which is a testimony that Canadians certainly don’t mind the California burger chain.

Fatburger versus Vera’s Burger

Vera’s Burger is just a few stores down from them and I’d say the signature Fatburger is just about the same as Vera’s Burger.  However, Fatburger definitely has an edge in terms of ambiance and dining experience.  Fatburger is a modernized retro diner with booth seating, checkered floors and juke boxes.  Their friendly and inviting atmosphere is a far cry from neighbouring Vera’s that seems a bit too dark and dingy.  Fatburger has always seemed super clean while the tables at I sat at in Vera’s on Denman have been pretty sticky.  Given that the two locations are so close to each other on Denman, I’d go with Fatburger because of their brighter, cleaner diner.

Tacos?

I recently visited Fatburger with my expired Groupon that was still good for the amount I paid for.  This time, however, I went for the fish tacos combo.  The three fish tacos in the combo were okay though nothing to really write about.  Crispy batter but not overly greasy.  A bit of a spicy kick to them from the hot sauce.  Fries were average.

Overall Impression of Fatburger Denman

The food that I have tried from Fatburger is okay for an International franchised burger chain.  Price seems reasonable for what you get.  Nothing really special but nothing really bad either.  Rating: 3/5

It's one of the cheaper burger joints in downtown Vancouver.

Another vote for Fat Burger over Vera's burger. For some reason many Vera's franchise I've seen slack on their cleaning; their grill is very oily and messy. Fat Burger is also cheaper than Vera.

Didn't know Fat Burger does tacos now. When did this happen? Haven't been to Fat burger in about a year so I'd guess it was fairly recently? They have Fat Burger Wing as well.

Good read, but I'd way rather go to Vera's for the food, the place has gotten way cleaner this summer, and the food is way better. If you are going for tacos, the place beside vera's is way better than fat burger.
