[...] it. For some reason, I thought Burger Burger is a “gourmet burger” restaurant just like Splitz Grill or Burger [...]

Went to The Red Onion recently. Same foods, same atmosphere, same people (more or less). The place feels like it’s in a time warp going back 20 years when I first went there !

But the prices have all gone up, by approximately 30%. Admittedly even in the late 80s/early 90s their prices were low and hard to beat. So nowadays they are pricing accordingly to the times. But for the honesty and quality of their foods, I would still argue TRH is a great value and a gem in the local community.

MUST have their pecan pie ….. to die for !

Splitz burgers are amazing! The first time I had it was in Whistler, I now crave for more. Even Vera’s can’t satisfy the spot (I find the meat a bit grilled longer than needed, hence, dry)

I really enjoy reading your blog since I’m quite the foodie too!

LotusRapper, I guess we all end up having bad experiences in places where others are happy/enjoyed it. In my case, I visited one of the restaurants you listed (won’t mention which to protect the “innocent”) and was harassed because I had my camera with me. Now, it wasn’t the waitresses (who did not care); instead it was one of the managers/owners.

Ben,

To briefly answer your question, both times I ate Splitz the food was mediocre. Certainly IMHO not worth the prices paid. On the second time, they made mistakes on my order, and upon my request for a change, they did so grudgingly without courtesy or as much as a “sorry”. While some of their other foods may be good, for me my burger dollars have been better spent elsewhere at:

The Red Onion (as mentioned)
Vera’s
Moderne Burger
Fat Burger
The Tomahawk Grill (North Shore)

Cheers

LotusRapper, actually, it is a steak UNDER one pound and they will cook it for you for $5, fries and veggies included. I took a picture of their menu when I did a guest post for Jessica. You can check it here.
