Outside
Sabrina M.

I love this quick bite very fulfilling. The burger is probably one of the best vegan burgers I've ever had. The waffle fries were delicious and crunchy. This is located outside, but they do have some seats where you can sit.

Straight off the plane and this was the first place I wanted to try in NY. Vegan burger, fries, and a milkshake... oh yea. That burger was delicious, I should've gotten a double, seriously (or another burger)! I'm a fry kinda girl and these were cooked to perfection and they were waffle fries! Also got a chocolate milkshake made with oat milk, so so good! This walk up was very effective with service and had a few seating to enjoy your food. Cute and fast with getting the order out. Can't wait to go back!

We were staying at a nearby hotel- and stumbled upon this spot in the wee hours of the morning. This location had been vacant for a few years, so we were surprised to see a bright yellow building with people sitting at tables. We ordered burgers and fries. Everything was piping hot when we got back to our room. These were hands down- THE BEST impossible burgers that we have ever eaten. The waffle fries were perfect. Next time we'll splurge on shakes. If you're looking for a late night vegetarian option- highly recommend checking them out. Service was fast and friendly.

Amazing vegan place. A "smash burger " with crispy edges and fantastic taste. Chili fries are good too. And a real bargain!

Jr burger was still a great size!
Elizabeth B.

Popped in here for a quick bite. Their soft serve machine was down (it's giving McDonald's lol) so I just ordered a jr burger and fries. Both came out piping hot and tasted fresh! Fries were perfectly seasoned, and the burger was perfect. The guys working had such a good vibe that was appreciated!

Unexpected find! Was craving a burger but cutting back on beef recently. Stumbled upon this place online and figured I'd give it a try, not expecting much. Honestly, so many plant-based burger joints are either mediocre or just all taste the same. This was a really solid burger. I got their standard (OG Betr) with everything (lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, vegan cheese). Honestly, if you weren't paying attention you could be fooled into thinking this was just a decent regular burger from a fast food joint. Two smashed patties, great flavor. I was a little concerned about the cheese, but it really worked. If you're a veggie or vegan, or if you just are limiting meat--or just curious--it's worth a visit. No great seating, though some outdoor countertops, so maybe avoid if the weather is crappy.

This was my first time trying Jerrell's. This is a solid vegan burger. I've had a couple vegan burgers and this one is just right. The flavor is there and the textures are on point. The loaded chili fries were pretty good. The flavor of the chili was moderate but it compliments the fries and has a subtle sweet taste to it. The cookies and cream milkshake was good. It was smooth and balanced. For a spot with limited seating and spacing the service is pretty good. They accommodate for the space really well.

Stand at Lincoln Center
Marie Y.

Looking for a quick dinner option as I waited for the Summer in the City event to start, I decided to try a Lil' Betr burger at a stand located at Lincoln Center. The price was reasonable, and if I hadn't known that the burger was Impossible meat, I would have not been able to tell the difference. The burger was delicious and juicy. I also appreciated the ingenious burger wrapping -- I was able to enjoy my burger cleanly without having to touch it with my likely dirty hands. Based on this positive experience, I plan to stop by the actual location to try another burger, as well as their sides and dessert, the next time I am in Soho!

I was excited to try Jerrell's vegan burgers following an after party that had sliders and fries but no vegan option for myself. The shop is small with a few outdoor tables to dine. Definitely a grab-and-go kind of vibe. Let's talk about the burger itself. It's an impossible burger with vegan cheese you can get at the grocery store, but the way they prepare it together gave me that charred taste that I enjoyed growing up. For $14, it's a pricy burger but it did taste good and hit the junk food cravings. The Chili Cheese Waffle Fries however came in the smallest container ever. For nearly $10, I was expecting at least double the amount of fries for a rather small amount of vegan cheese and chili on top. We also tried a Cookies N' Cream Oat Milkshake, and that was a good treat. Overall, the meal was good but a bit pricy for the amount of food that we ended up getting. I'd come back for the burger if I was really wanting one but would skip the loaded fries.

Delicious, vegan, walk-up to order burger spot. Waffle fries, Cookies and Cream Milkshakes, what more do you need?

Ayana A.

I tried out the oat milk soft serve, and it was pretty decent! You can get free toppings including sprinkles or cookie crumbles. I got both. Refreshing little treat on a nice day. They do have some seating inside or outside. It is smaller tables. They also have standing tables on the side for larger crowds.

Double burger and waffle fries
Jim M.

This has to be the best vegan burger that I've ever had! I had the double which tasted amazing, very hot and freshly made. When I was a little kid, I always wanted a Big Mac, like my dad got. But he said I was too little to finish one. The first time that he said OK and let me get one, it was the best thing ever, though I was stuffed. This burger actually brought back that memory, except it's not beef this time.

Lil' BETR BRGR Seasoned Waffle Fries

Vegan burger joint run out of a little storefront with a few bistro tables. Love the smash style approach to the impossible patty and thought the other ingredients tasted very fresh. Not a bad deal ($9 for the Lil Betr) either! Service could've been a bit faster (our waffle fries were a little cold... so I'm thinking they forgot to bring out our order when it was ready?) but maybe that was just the pre-burger hangry-ness talking.

Hands down one of my favorite meals I've had in NYC! I'd had Third Kingdom on my list for a long…read moretime and learned they unfortunately closed and this place was one of their sister places that had a similar mushroom menu so we had dinner here. For a party if 4 they recommend you order 6-8 dishes to share so that's what we did. We got the artichoke toast, cremini flatbread, risotto, cauliflower and then ordered three items off their "understory" mushroom menu: blue oyster mushroom, hen of the woods and then the emolada. The risotto and blue oyster stole the show for me. The flatbread and toast were also phenomenal. I love mushrooms and the unique way these are prepared and served is just wonderful! I'm so glad I could try it! The inside is like stepping into a fairytale woodland area too. Love the east village too so the area is great and gets lively at night! Our service was so helpful and friendly. So would def recommend.

I had been looking forward to trying Avant Garden for a long time and chose it for a birthday…read moredinner, so this was especially disappointing. We had a 9:30 reservation on May 9. The reservation email said they would hold the table for 15 minutes, and we arrived at about 9:43 after getting stuck in traffic. We were still within that window, but as soon as we checked in, the host immediately told us the kitchen was closing in one minute and that the bar would close in about 20 minutes, so we needed to place our food order right away. It made the meal feel rushed from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was virtually empty, but we were seated directly next to the bathroom. There were clearly plenty of other seating options available, which made that choice even more frustrating. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable bathroom odor from our table, which was really unpleasant and not what I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. Servers were also constantly going back and forth between the dining room and what seemed to be either a storage or cleaning area near the bathroom, so in addition to the odor, there was steady foot traffic throughout the meal. There were also papers or sugar packets underneath the table next to us, which added to the feeling that the dining room was not being carefully maintained. We ordered the paella, fig toast, and Calabrian flatbread. The food itself was fine in terms of flavor, but the rest of the experience made it feel understated and much less enjoyable than it should have been. The paella and toast came out quickly, and then we waited about 45 minutes for the flatbread. During that time, no one checked in, explained the delay, or asked how anything was. We honestly thought the flatbread had been forgotten. Then, after that long wait, the flatbread and dessert were brought out almost at the same time. The server explained that the kitchen was telling them to bring everything out at once. We had also ordered a bottle of Lambrusco, but it was not available, so we were given a different wine instead. Overall, the pacing and service felt very disorganized. We were rushed to order immediately, then largely ignored for the rest of the meal. No one asked how the food was, no one checked on the delay, and the timing of the final dishes made the meal feel chaotic rather than enjoyable. Even though the food was fine, the experience around it really took away from the meal. I also think there is a practical issue with the reservation timing. If the kitchen closes 15 minutes after the last available reservation, it does not make sense to offer a 15-minute grace period. Either the final seating should be earlier, or the kitchen should remain open long enough to properly serve guests who arrive within the stated reservation window. For a restaurant with Avant Garden's reputation and price point, I expected a much more thoughtful and polished experience. I wanted this to be a special birthday dinner, but we left feeling disappointed. I don't feel eager to return, and based on this visit, I would have a hard time recommending it to vegan friends.

This is a new trend to try and get (maybe trick) people into eating something they normally would not eat, but make it into something they normally would. Case in point here. Yes, the food here is good. I did like it. I had the Mei Fun Noodles with a "chicken". Given this is a vegan Chinese restaurant, this is not a meaty chicken. No bird here, no. It is a soy synthetic made to resemble and taste as such, like a chicken nugget appearance and in taste. The noodles are fine because it is a rice noodle, and that I had no issue with. The chicken after a while had me second guessing everything I did in life up to that point, and not in a good way. I would also like to point out a small fly flew into my bowl, but I think I was able to flick it out/kill it before I could get someone to complain about it. Either way, gross. I also had their Chili Wontons. Boy are these HOT! Tasty, but they pack tons of heat. They also have this weird synthetic taste to it that somehow confused my brain. I liked the taste, but something felt a bit off about the rest of it. The idea of a kosher Chinese restaurant is something I adore. But making it vegan as well threw me for a loop. That made it hard for me to feel satisfied. Perhaps I should just stick with the real thing from now on.

If you didn't know, this is a Mexican restaurant with a full vegan menu. We shared a plate of plantain that came on a delicious later of black bean puree. We also got chips and mango salsa ... That's really a great salsa! For the main course, I decided to get the pescado and al pastor chicken tacos. I have never had the al pastor profile with 'chicken' before, so that was interesting. I enjoyed both tacos, and I think the al pastor was my favorite. I got the churros for the dessert, and the presentation was so cool, but I have to admit I did not love them. They tasted way too fried, if that makes sense. My sister got the chocolate chili tart ... It had stunning presentation, and ... It really was delicious! That would be my first choice next time.
