Mr.Charlie's TMS

Best Restaurants and Bars Near Union Square in Downtown San Francisco | Eater SF

"If you like your vegan fast food with a side of anti-establishment vibes, Mr. Charlie’s is the place for you. The restaurant will look familiar to anyone who’s ever stepped inside a McDonald’s restaurant, but Mr. Charlie’s turns that on its head with golden-hued frowns and vegan offerings. The menu is very similar to the fast-food giant, though items are particularly named to Mr. Charlie’s theme, such as Not a Cheeseburger or Not a Chicken Sandwich, and the combo meal is flipped to be called a “Frowny.” Union Square is just one of three locations worldwide — the other two are located in Los Angeles and Sydney, Australia — and whether you’re going here as a fun diversion or for a vegan meal, Mr. Charlie’s satisfies both endeavors." - Dianne de Guzman
