PLNT Burger

Decent burger joint with an all vegan menu. The selection is quite good and prices are decent. Portions are okay and you likely will need more than just a burger. We got the mushroom barbecue and the steakhouse burger. The mock meat did have a meaty taste and the cheese also had a good melt. It was just slightly sweeter than we would have preferred. They do not have much seating however, but since it's close to Union Square it's fine.

My experience at Plnt Burger was somewhat average. The retro-style ambiance added a fun touch to the place, but the small space didn't offer much seating. It's more convenient to grab the food and enjoy it at nearby Union Square park. As for the food itself, it didn't impress me. I ordered the Plnt cheeseburger, which had all the typical fixings, and it was just okay--neither outstanding nor disappointing. I also tried the lil dippers, crispy plant-based chik 'n nuggets with BBQ sauce. They were good, although they had a surprising kick to them, which I enjoyed. The texture and crunch were satisfying. While I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, if I happened to be in the area and needed a quick meal, I might consider it.

The service was excellent! The food! Out of this world!!! My son and I loved truly loved it all. He had the chicken sandwich and I had the bacon burger and we shared nuggets.... sooo goooddddd!!!! We uad a bit of the soft serve icecream also, vegan icecream has cone a long way!!! It was creamy and oh so good!! Check this place out, really good food!

Delicious vegan fast food! We even double checked with the workers that this place was all vegan because it was THAT good! We had a lovey conversation with Jeff who was so friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!

Beyond grateful to finally meat this plant based burger chain at Union Square. plntburger offers the most fun and delicious vegan burgers while celebrating the beauty of life in our planet. We tried their double cheese PLNT burger and the regular PLNT burger. Is regular even the right word for it? Because nothing about these burgers are regular. They were mind blowingly delicious! You couldn’t even tell it wasn’t real meat. The quality of their ingredients were super fresh and vibrant too. We also tried their PLNT loaded chili fries. They were super crispy and the beyond meat was seasoned perfectly. Their fries are to die for. We love how they cut their fries. We also wanted to try their many sauces so we got some chicken nuggets. Their bloomies sauce was so unique. We never had anything like it. It was my personal favorite. To pair our meal we obviously needed a bev. And soft serve. We love how their soft serve are all oat based and they use oat milk in the mixture. It definitely made my tummy and body much happier. I usually wake up super bloated if I eat dairy the night before, but their soft serve changed my life. We tried their s’mores milkshake with oat base as well, it was so creamy and so thick! We loved it. The blood orange creamsicle float had softserve too, but it sank to the bottom. When you put your straw in it and drink you will have to suck hard to get that creamy thick soft serve out. Their blood orange tastes just like candy too! It was so satisfying.

We had to wait for the fryer to warm up to temperature a few minutes and they gave us some free nuggets. Their herb fries are the best we’ve ever had! The mushroom bacon bbq burger was delicious and my wife really enjoyed their fish sandwich. She didn’t like the fountain soda but it wasn’t really a big deal. We were visiting the city to see a play and this was a quick, delicious bite before the show. Wish we had one in our area!

I love the dine in option here. My 2nd time ever at a Plnt burger, first time at this location and its nice. 2ndly, I asked for fresh fries right out so they're super hot and she changed them without any issues or attitude. Tye fries here are very flavorful.

I tried their mushroom bacon burger, comes with plant patty, vegan cheese, caramelized onions. The buns were soft, filling had a lot of flavors and tasted good. Kinda pricey

I'm far from a vegetarian and often I am not thrilled with flavors or texture of vegetarian options. Here I tried this non fish, fish burger & sweet potato fries. Surprisingly it was very juicy and tasty. I actually enjoyed more than regular fish burger since it's not fishy! However the buns they use is not the best. I guess I have to ask for bun less next time. The sweet potato fries are perfectly fried and salted. But my favorite was the sauce it came with. I don't know what it was and made of, the light color mayo kind with herbs got addictive flavor which I used it all.

Quick service vegan fast food! This was very tasty and an easy option for us. We ordered the bbq mushroom burger and the cheesy patty melt (very cheesy) with fries and a soda. They food quality was great. It was hot, fresh and crunchy where it needed it. My only draw back is that they don't have much seating inside for you to stay and eat (Three stools and a bench). Otherwise it seemed like this was a beautiful little secret of the neighborhood. It's all electronic transactions through an app or a wall mounted kiosk in store.

As far as vegan options in NYC, I think this is on the lower end of the spectrum. A fast food joint near Union Square, I liked the different types of burgers on their menu as they had a solid variety. The Steakhouse Burger I got was just fine - the caramelized onions and sauce were pretty tasty, but the bun was a bit underwhelming and the portobello base was nothing too special. It's a bit on the smaller side, which I get for the price (~$11) but I wish they could have packed more in there. Also got some of the tots which are pretty good - definitely better than the burger, so I'd get some if you came. Overall, I wasn't too impressed, but glad to see they are trying to bring out new flavors!

PLNT Burger offers vegan versions of your fast food favorites: burgers, fries, nuggets and more, all in a fast-casual setting. I ordered my meal for takeout and tried the Fries (both the sweet potato and the crispy herb fries), nuggets, fish filet and the BBQ burger. Unfortunately, I found the food to be a bit underwhelming: PLNT uses Beyond Burger as its patty of choice, which I personally think is very inferior to the Impossible Burger...I can taste the difference. The sweet potato fries could have used more flavor, and the other items were just "fine." PLNT is not bad per se, but there are much better vegan burger/fast food joints in the city!

Average burger. I had cheeseburger w guac. Sweet potato fries and a drink. $21. Flavor is ok. I like the sweet potato fries a lot tho. I prob just order that as snacks next time. Nice and friendly staff. Some bar stools if you wanna eat there but mostly a take-out place.

The interior was small and in a super busy area of Manhattan, so I couldn't imagine eating as a claustrophobic person or during rush hour. I've had take out here a couple of times and really enjoyed the chicken nuggets and the Cacio de Pepe french fries. I'd like to see them spread out their locations in Manhattan and not use plastic for take out. Plant based places just don't make sense without committing to zero waste. They have a lot of different sauces on their menu and this chain is probably why beatnic is not surviving. I'll definitely be coming back here.

Really loved the quality and taste of the food. I'm not vegan myself but my best friend took me here and I loved it!

Love everything I've ever tried from here and keep finding myself going back for more. Meati mushroom products are phenomenal, fries are well seasoned, the soft serve is perfectly craveable and the sauces are delicious. maple mustard and garden herb sauces are my personal favorites.

We popped in here to get an oat milkshake. I got the chocolate and it was definitely oat milk-y. It was different from a regular milkshake, but didn't mess my lactose intolerant stomach up, so it was a win win! Inside is cool- you order on the little touch pads, pay on your own, and then wait for your name to be called.

This is an ok choice for a quick vegan meal. I had the chili cheese fries with added jalapenos and beyond patty, as well as a s'mores shake. I did like the flavor of the chili and the fries were crispy. The shake was surprisingly good, I couldn't even tell it was made with oat milk. However, it was just too expensive - very hard to justify paying over $25 for the meal. I'd recommend just grabbing a shake.

First time here, got the Baja Burger and it was yummy! This place reminded me of an elevated Shake Shack but vegan version. The bun was toasted and each bite had a good crunch from the fried jalapeños and onions. It's slightly peppery from the spicy chipotle mayo and the guac was bomb. All the flavors worked well and didn't overpower each other. I'm not vegan, but always down to try plant based options. In this case, it was just as good or even better than a regular burger. FYI- I would recommend ordering ahead in the app since I had to wait 15 mins when ordering in the store.

Not vegan myself but after trying many vegan foods, this new place definitely hit the spot for me. I'd say this is a plant-based version of Shake Shack: it's quality fast-food and price is a little higher than usual. I got the limited time Melt Sandwich, Mushroom Bacon Burger meal with garlic herb fries and a Blood Orange drink. Both burgers are delicious, especially the Mushroom Bacon Burger; it was full of different umami flavors and love the crunch of fake bacon and onions. I honestly prefer fake bacon than regular bacon! The fries are very nice, too. Not soggy at all, I think it's due to the way they cut the potato (indented in). Every fry is crunchy and filling. The drink is very complex, too and healthier than a regular soda. Even though the total calories I consumed was over 1000, I didn't feel grossed out like I would with normal fast food. I truly enjoyed my meal there. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered via the app and food is ready within 10-15min. Small fast-casual place at Union Square, I'll totally visit again.

Pretty similar to other vegan chains, beyond burgers, actual veggies, fries, etc-- not the warmest in terms of customer service but the self serve kiosk is convenient. Tends to be messy vegan junk food, all packed to go, but they truly do make everything decadent and quick. Meati chicken was my favorite! I wish the food were made with a little more love, but since it's all plants and close to home I'll definitely keep coming back.

the food was okay, i think i might have had too many high expectations of this place but i've had better. Their spicy "chicken" sandwich wasn't spicy. the service was great and it's a clean place at this location btw.

Due to being in the area and not having a lunch from home. I decide to order from PLNT Burger-Union Square via UberEats/Postmates because of a BOGO (Buy One, Get One) special. The deliveries are quick! The Crispy Chik'N Sandwich and the Spicy Chik'N Sandwich with the Lil' Dippers offer tasty filling morsels. I'm full after eating one sandwich and about half the dippers for the rest of the evening. These are very high protein meal options (check the nutritional information on PLNT Burger's website). The sauces one can buy offer distinct flavors which are very apparent with every bite: Garden Herb and Spicy Aioli are creamy and not subtle. The bag can get greasy so if eating on the go, be mindful of how you're carrying the food (like considering where you set the bag containing the food, for example).

2022 the year I'm testing the water with vegetarianism. With so many plant based options - things are going well, but I've been specifically missing spicy chicken sammiches. Enter PLNT BURGER's Spicy Chik'n Sandwich - WOW this was delicious. My first time trying this restaurant, but I followed them on IG ever since they opened their NYC location near Union Square. I ordered online for pickup and received $5 off my first order through the app - nice! The order was promptly ready in about 15 minutes. The Spicy Chik'n Sandwich features a crispy golden ultimate patty, house made hot sauce, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and garlic herb mayo. All these elements bring together a symphony of flavor that was outstanding. I can't wait to try more items on their menu - now excuse me while I finish wiping the hot sauce from my face.

Mushroom bbq and bacon burger and spicy chik'n sandwich were great but the perfectly cooked fries stole the show. Try the garden herb or spicy aioli for dipping and the soft serve to finish. Join the free PLNT Fam membership to collect points and redeem for discounts. Definitely a place to come back to to try their seasonal burgers, chik'n nuggets, and fish sandwich.

Can't rave enough about this vegan spot! Absolutely amazing juicy burgers with such flavor and texture better than real beef/chicken. The nuggets with spicy seasoning was also so good. All of their dipping sauces taste homemade and refreshing. The maple mustard was so good as a vegan who misses honey mustard. The shakes are so creamy and delicious. I got the mint cookies and cream and it was perfect! Cannot wait to return and try more of their burger options. Their app offers a free cheese burger in November for first time customers with referral. You must order from your phone or kiosk in the store. Workers are very nice. They have about 5 seats for dine in or you can take to-go. They are open late. They are also conveniently located near Washington square farmers market and Christmas shops.

My experience at Plnt Burger was somewhat average. The retro-style ambiance added a fun touch to the place, but the small space didn't offer much seating. It's more convenient to grab the food and enjoy it at nearby Union Square park. As for the food itself, it didn't impress me. I ordered the Plnt cheeseburger, which had all the typical fixings, and it was just okay--neither outstanding nor disappointing. I also tried the lil dippers, crispy plant-based chik 'n nuggets with BBQ sauce. They were good, although they had a surprising kick to them, which I enjoyed. The texture and crunch were satisfying. While I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, if I happened to be in the area and needed a quick meal, I might consider it.

For a plant based burger this was really good. It was hot and freshly made. The absolute best part of the meal was the chili cheese fries. As a lover of chili cheese fries these definitely hit the spot.

The service was friendly and a little slow for a "fast food" joint, took about 15 minutes for our food to be ready. We ordered the cheeseburger which my girlfriend loved, the herb fries which were good, and the chicken sandwich which I loved. There's only 3.5 seats for dining in which is a shame when it's boiling/freezing outside. Would I go back? If I was in the neighborhood craving some vegan goodness, absolutely.

Get the spicy crunchy chicken sandwich - you won't be able to tell that it is plant based.

Quick meal, awesome that it's plant based. Staff was courteous from beginning to end. I ordered online and was able to pick up my order without issues. I chose a kids meal bc that's usually fun and I am a small eater. The kids meal came with a small drink, side and burger. As a bonus a mini bag of candy, perfect for portion control. Def would visit again.

I was super excited to have a new option for low guilt fast food in the area and I followed a link to create an account and got a free burger. So I thought. When I arrived. The staff said nothing. No hi , hello, boo or blah.... only a condescending look of indifference. Regulars, i assume who entered received greetings and light banter. That should have been my cue to exit stage left, but I literally came here after work to try the food. Eventually, I was assisted after slightly raising a hand, requesting help. The lady who came to the register reeeaaally friendly and by this time, I felt like an imposition. A manager (I think) came to help with the promo in my new account. When I asked why the promo was different, the condescension returned. Stunned, I stated no problem and waited fir the burger and fries I ordered. Then like there was a switch, he flipped back to this weird faux, politeness and offered a dipping sauce choice for my fries. The burger was ok, bun was veerry buttery. It had this oddly artificial taste. I mind you, I prefer beyond, impossible and other alternative burgers. The fries were inedible..... cold, stiff, and the seasing tasted as if there was sugar in it. In retrospect, as my order was up, I noticed the rude lady asked her coworker to make new fries as she tossed out the other standing fries in that batch. Unbelievable. So you knowingly gave me old fries. I dared not ask for a replacement. I finished my burger, cleaned up and left. $8 (after the promo) for a slightly under cooked burger and fries ending up in the garbage? No ma'am. No sir. Telling your first time customer about this is New York tax and this is what you ordered, as if they are hard of hearing and understanding is beyond unprofessional. Despite the burger being mediocre in a city with great options for vegetarian and vegan food, the pretentiousness I experienced here was unwarranted and appalling. Never again.

Surprisingly I really enjoyed the food! I'm picky with the vegan burgers I've had especially if it's using beyond meat. These guys kill it with the sauces and the patty is crisp. So it was good! My favorite item was the vegan chili with cheese and crispy fries on the side. I think I would get that alone next time! They have a variety of vegan burger options, sauces, and different toppings. The house made guacamole was excellent with my Baha Berger. The place is small with just 4-5 stools inside to sit. After all it's fast food and most take it to go. No restrooms. Overall great vegan fast food option and the employees work hard to make the best food that you'll enjoy!

I really like this place but it might be closing soon, so sad because it's my go to spot and it's close to my house. Anyway I'm glad that I got the opportunity to enjoy the food and I definitely continue to enjoy the restaurant until they close. The staff were really amazing

Recently decided to go plant based after finding a worm in my Trader Joe's salmon. was pleasantly surprised, really good introduction to plant based food. Was quick and relatively inexpensive, would definitely go again

The food is so exceptional, so delicious and healthy but you wouldn't even know it because it tastes sinful. The service is quick and fresh every time, served with a smile....and the ambiance is relaxing and clean, you can see everything they do while they are cooking and preparing your meal. I hope they open more locations so I can grab a yummy, healthy, vegan meal close to wherever I am.2 thumbs up! The shakes top it all of too!

It so great to have vegan options that are delicious and easy for on the go! Staff was friendly and helpful!

Loved loved Plnt Burger!! First time there, I had the Amazing Dippers . The dipping sauces are delicious. I gravitated to garden herb, blooming sauce, maple mustard, and spicy aioli. Herb fries and sweet potato fries were like no other fry I ever had! Yum yum yum!! I also got to enjoy their drinks- Lemongrass was my favorite as well as cherry cream, and Orange. Well I can't decide. They were all so satisfying. I requested they put one in New Brunswick, NJ near Rutgers. It would be very profitable. The staff was friendly and they made sure you knew your were appreciated. Keianna and Anthony had an infectious energy about them. Made me feel happy I decided to buy my meal there!! I can't wait to go back and try something new.

PLNT Burger is a convenient option on the days I observe a vegetarian diet and am craving a delicious burger. The service is quick and the ambiance is laid back. I have yet to visit during the lunch hour rush though.

Our burgers and fries were really good! The mint shake was okay. My main complaint is that everything is really tiny, especially for the price. You can finish the burgers in two bites. I'm not sure if this is normal for them? $10 for a palm sized burger is crazy to me! The staff was great and the food took about 15-20 minutes to make.

I'm not a vegan but love to eat plant based, so when I saw this spot was doing a free Baja Burger I couldn't resist. Let me tell you know that this spot didn't disappoint and I think if I was a vegan would blow my mind. The burger itself is beyond meat, and was slightly charred. To me, it really tastes like the real deal without being greasy or too heavy. I don't love vegan cheese, and I don't love or eat regular cheese, but thought the pepper jack tasted like the real deal. It was melty, pepper-y and pretty creamy. The guac was a great element that I think brought some extra flavor to the whole burger. My favorite part was the crispy jalapenos or the onions - both flavorful and helped elevate the burger itself. I also loved the soft bun it came on! This burger was surprisingly bigger than I was expecting (I don't know why I was thinking it'd be small due to bun or patty) and absolutely delicious. It really hit the spot, vegan or not. The service was quick and friendly despite being pretty busy! Honestly, I loved this burger. Even more than 7th street burger which is a real burger just because of the added flavors and less greasy feel. I would definitely come back and try the bloomie petals, mushroom bacon bbq burger or spicy chick'n sandwich.

Best burgers ever! The mushroom bacon is a great addition and their aioli is to die for!

They always go above and beyond and their products are great. I've tried almost everything on the menu. Yum!

Came in Grand Opening day and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered on the app on it was ready within 15 mins for pick up. Pick up was super easy. Took my meal to Union Sq Park across the street and enjoyed every bite! I had the cheeseburger and my friend had the chicken sandwich. He's not even veggie and said it was delicious. Loved the fries and I chose aoili sauce. Yum. Had a nice little soft serve and diet kola (plant based!) too. Def check them out. You can even get $5 off if you download the app. Enjoy! Please support your local businesses!

This place is so delicious that I forget that I'm eating a plant based burger. The service is great and they are extremely clean. I have observed them sanitize the bar tables and stool after each customer. It's not a big space but it's good enough for a grab and go concept. They offer vegan milkshakes also but I haven't tired them yet. I will be coming back for more plant based burgers.

Totally delighted by this place. First I just want to mention i like dairy free and plant based places due to health conditions and this place was super friendly about answering my questions or basic concerns. I ordered a crispy Chik N Sandwich with a side of sweet heat sauce and a mint cookies and cream shake. Sooo delish, you really can't taste the difference and It felt great eating something that I knew wasn't going to be bad for me. I can't wait to come again with my son and hubby. Pic of my shake bc I inhaled my sandwich lol

Super tasty and flavorful. Got the cheeseburger plant burger with fries. Got it with 3 dipping sauces. I will definitely order from here again. I also didn't have a bloated feeling after consuming it. Worth a visit if in the area.

Pretty solid place for plant burgers. I got the Cheese Burger Plant Burger with fries. I'd get it again when I'm craving some plant based burgers!

I am a regular here and the food is always hot when I receive it. The chicken sandwich is my go to with sweet potato fries and the maple sauce if you need a recommendation!

I wish I could give 4.5 stars I'm rounding up to five stars because the food was great! The experience was mediocre at best. Love loved loved the burger. You 'can' eat there but very very limited counter only seating that feels crowded. The guy who took my order was not oo knowledgable on the menu and I felt like I was teaching him and it was my first visit. He didn't know how to make change or do the most basic cash math. The food took way way way too long for fast casual food. I think I waited 15-17m for my burger and fries standing in the tiny space I always felt in the way of someone coming in or out. The upside and real jewel in this crown was the food...it was fricken delicious. The French fry portion did not meet my expectations. More fries please. The portion was scant. I would go back probably, but I would order online before I got there and if nice out eat outside in nearby union square or run my chunky butt home And eat there. Wish there was more seating and quicker staff. It's fast food y'all!

It was cool saw customers eating restaurant was clean asked if I needed ketchup I would go back

I use my late night meal budget here at least once a week - I've never had fast food so good that doesn't leave me feeling gross. some personal favorites are the patty melt, double cheeseburger, and fish filet, plus the fries (sweet potato and normal) never miss. the shakes are great too and easy to add on. they're good w taking online orders so would recommend ordering that way (use the app it's easy and good rewards) - just make sure to get there within 10/20 min so the food is hot and fresh. my boyfriend and his roommates come here often as well - they love this spot. trust me it's great

Delicious vegan burgers! I will definitely return!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Delicious plant based burgers with gluten free bun options. Sweet potato crinkles with maple sauce were wonderful, as was the dairy free soft serve ice cream! Also, the staff is very friendly and nice :)

The food is delicious and so is the service! Everything is made fresh and its so tasty. The staff is nice and I will be coming back

The fish fillet was just released today so I tried it as a lettuce wrap (no bun), just cuz I was more interested in the patty than the sandwich itself. The flavor and texture was pretty good and reminiscent of real fish, tartar sauce was yummy and went well with the pickles despite me usually not liking pickles at all. Pretty small still, but I think I would actually prefer the fish patty over the chicken.

The food doesn't taste fresh and is greasy. For it to be a vegan burger joint the quality of everything is subpar. It gives the impression of an average fast food place like Burger King. I've gone 3 times and the sauces are not the same consistency or taste. Also, ridiculous amount of salt in certain items like fries and one of the dips. I recommend next level burger on Ashland place by BAM to get an idea of what is expected of a plant-based or vegan fast food establishment. I don't see myself ever going here again and I will let my friends and family know that it's not worth the money. The oil has an old, heavy taste to it. I can see by some of the customer photos that they can't tell the food isn't fresh. The lettuce they are wrapping the burgers with is wilted and already showing dark green patches. The fries have a look to them tat you only get when the oil is old. In the 3 times I've been here the food never tasted fresh. I can't give this place any more chances.
