Saw P'unk Burger's deal for East Passyunk restaurant week, and it was such a great deal, we had to check it out! For $15, we got a side, choice of burger, and a shake - can't beat it! We were planning on picking up in person, but it was a dreary, rainy day, and when we realized they had $1 delivery, it was a done deal. We easily placed our order online, and luckily, they had their restaurant week special on the front page, so easy access. I opted for sweet potato fries as my side, the veggie burger with fig jam and apples as my main, and attempted to get their banana salted caramel vegan milkshake for my dessert. A few hours after placing our order, I got a call that they were out of bananas, so they could not prepare my shake as ordered. They did offer to make a salted caramel shake without the banana, which was nice! I was just surprised they didn't have this option given it was a feature on their restaurant week deal. The fries were great - lightly seasoned and crispy enough, although they did get a bit soggy on the delivery, but nothing that wouldn't happen with any other take out. There were a ton of fries, so enough to have a second day! The burger was pretty good, too - I could definitely tell it was non-meat burger, but the consistency was spot on and still very flavorful! I loved the fig jam and tart apple accompaniments, which made for a really nice, fresh flavor and made me feel less guilty for having a burger :) The brioche bun was a great vehicle for the sandwich and didn't overwhelm too much. My salted caramel shake was the highlight of the meal - I got mine made with soy milk, and you totally would have no idea. It was deliciously creamy and so filling, but I was so sad when it was over! My fiancee opted for the pickle chips as his side (great reviews on Yelp), which were pretty tasty - nicely crispy and salty! I don't necessarily think they were worth the extra $3 as a side, but we did enjoy them. His burger featured a beef patty with avocado, jalapeños, cheese, and ranch - nice flavors that balanced each other out! The burger was definitely "oozing" from the toppings, but he said it was a solid burger. My fiancee attempted to get the Guatemalan chocolate and coffee shake, one of the options on the restaurant week deal, but they also called to say they were out of that shake. Again, super surprised they didn't actually have 2 of the 3 shakes they offered for restaurant week, but so it is. He was offered his choice of any other shake on the menu, so he settled for a s'mores shake, which he was a big fan of! He agreed, the shakes were the highlight of the meal.
Overall, we enjoyed our restaurant week meal from P'unk Burger! While they wasn't the *best* burgers we've ever had, we appreciated the unique toppings, and it was a solid, filling meal for the price. We hope they continue to offer similar deals for restaurant week, etc. over the years - we would enjoy trying their other burger and shake options!
