50’s Burgers - Burnaby, British Columbia

Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a while. Really well done!!!. Atmosphere is... not so nice, probably it has seen a better days, the service was ok. Honestly it's better if you order, pick-up and eat elsewhere.

Wow! What a disappointment at this landmark restaurant that used to be so good. Garbage stacked out back and the grass at knees and the biggest disappointment was the quality of food that has gone down hill. The buns are so old the bottom of buns crumbled when I took a ... bite and the meat was hard and dry. Trust me, I will never go back. Read more

Honestly this place went down in service and quality very quickly. This business has been sold lately to Indians and they ruined the quality. Why would you purchase such restaurant and sell food not of your own and destroy the reputation of this restaurant. Fries were old, oily and not ... crunchy at all. They add weird flavour and extremely salty. I waited basically 15 minutes for simple fries order (check my photos). Never going back tot his terrible restaurant. Read more

The first thing I would like to address is that it's a very unique place and does fit the 50s theme. Otherwise, I will be talking about my experiences and will base my rating on the 3 categories (food, service, environment/atmosphere) When walking into the restaurant, it was very tight and ... compact. No more than 6-7 people can fit inside, hence the seats outside and behind the restaurant. Restaurant holds the 50s theme inside and uses an old milkshake mixing machine, which was a nice touch. No washroom available, so make sure you have something to clean your hands with. Service was neutral, nothing much to talk about. We order, wait, get the food, and eat. Honestly, it doesn't make a memorable experience, but my expectations weren't high. The food, however, impressed me. Thick cut grandma fries were alright, and some don't maintain crispness for a long period of time. The LA burger, on the other hand, was very nice. Housemade bun held all the ingredients together and did not crumble. The patty was nicely seasoned and had the grill char flavor. The mushrooms, bacon,cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes combined nicely offer a perfectly balanced burger. One tiny gripe I had was that my burger had more mustard than anticipated. When it came down to the milkshake, I was thoroughly impressed. Perfect balance of sweetness, and you can taste the ice cream, milk, and then the strawberry. Simply amazing! Before I left, I decided to try the bulldog. It was alright, but bun held everything together but proved to be messy to consume. The amount of mustard added was again too much, and other than the sausage (which was nice and had a nice slight char smoky flavor and the casing pops) was all I tasted. I'm not too impressed with it compared to the burger. Overall, it's an impressive burger spot and definitely hits the spot if you are looking for a quality burger. Probably would recommend eating on an outside table, bringing your own hand wipes, and don't expect an amazing customer service from the establishment. Would definitely come back if im passing by Burnaby and craving a burger and milkshake. Would recommend to friends and family! Read more

What a great surprise to find that the food was as great as the aesthetic! We had to stop after driving past the iconic looking building, and were surprised to find that all the food was absolutely delicious. The fries in particular were exquisite, and the burgers were generously portioned ... and very tasty. I’d highly recommend stopping by when in New West and even travelling here just for a bite to eat! Read more
