Plant Power Fast Food has good intentions, but they lack the ability to deliver high quality food that is accessible to everyone.
First, staff did not seem to have much joy in working at Plant Power Fast Food and they were very blunt. What caught my attention the most, was the atmosphere.
Second, the atmosphere. It's hard to describe exactly how it made me feel, but I felt uncomfortable. The music choices were not the best and the lighting seemed off to me. This is just me though, so I know others would like their atmosphere.
Third, the price. I have been to many vegetarian and vegan restaurants before and I know prices can be high. But from my experience, I have come across locations who back up their pricing with high quality food and service; making it worth it to pay more compared to non-vegan and non-vegetarian locations. I have even been to a location who priced their vegetarian burger the same as an actual burger ($12), which included fries and a drink, and it was the best vegetarian burger I have ever had in my life so far. For a Cali Burrito and Holy Guacamole Burger meal, I paid $40.
Fourth, the quality. The burger lacked the necessary flavors that you would typically find in a normal burger. Guacamole was overused as if they wanted to cover up the dry and almost flavorless patty. The patty was also very thin, so each bite was just a mouthful of guacamole, bun, and veggies. The jalapeños are unnecessary and did not taste fresh. The burger did not hold either as parts of the patty would just fall out. The cheese was more like goo and was bland also. My partner, who has been a vegetarian their whole life, did not like the Cali Burrito. The meat was dry and bland. The fries were disappointing and weren't crisp. The ranch just tasted like mayo with bits of cilantro thrown in which is sad because they charge .75 Cents per sauce. Their selection of drinks were not bad, but the lemonade was bland as well and did not have that fresh lemon taste.
Overall, highly disappointed. They do offer a large variety of meals to choose from, but they may want to cut back a little find what works best. I have been around when it comes to vegan and vegetarian dishes and Plant Power Fast Food has a long way to go before they actually "change the future of fast food". The best locations who get it right were places that did not try as hard; and this location is unfortunately trying too hard and they missed. I'm more than likely won't be back. To my knowledge, no military nor first responder discounts offered.
