I don't get out to this part of town very often but when my friend suggested going here for lunch, I leaped at the chance to try this place. Always excited to try a Vegan food establishment.
They are currently having a special where you can get a Classic vegan burger with fries and milkshake for $14.99. By today's standards, that's a pretty good deal, especially for a vegan meal!
They have two kiosks set up in the shop for you to place your order. You can customize your order too. There are different buttons to tap on, which allow you to select what kind of bun you'd like, which toppings you'd like to have or omit...etc. My burger looked quite flat and limp when it arrived because I chose to have it wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun. Honestly, it was kinda sad looking but it tasted much better than it looked. Plus, the fries were very plump and filling. I was quite happy in the end that I had chosen the lettuce wrap as a regular bun would have been way too filling for me. Even with the lettuce wrap, I still had a few fries leftover which I brought home with me.
I ordered the Creamy orange milkshake. Tasted kinda like a Creamsicle. I didn't finish it all at once. Some of it I brought home with me but by the time I got home, the drink layers seemed to have separated. I don't know exactly what they used for this vegan milkshake but after separation I saw what appeared to be plain orange juice at the bottom of the cup. Pretty easily remedied though. I grabbed a straw when I got home, gave it a stir and it seemed to be as good as new. I decided to finish it up right then and there, rather than leave it to sit and separate again.
My friend was with me. She ordered a free Famous Burger which came with three buns and two patties. Yes, you read that right. It was a "free" Famous Burger. It is available when you place your very first order through the app. I considered ordering one so I could bring it home and share it with my husband and daughter for dinner but decided against it cuz...dinner is quite a few hours away and while there are many foods that taste good when reheated, I felt that this kind of food was something which should really be enjoyed fresh.
My friend and I both agreed that the vegan patty was best eaten together with bun and other ingredients. If you try to bite into the patty on its own, it doesn't really hold up so well. Together with bun and other ingredients, it's a decent patty.
Overall, I was pretty happy with my meal there and do hope to get back there with my husband and daughter before long, so that they can try the Famous Burger with me.
Parking: Mostly paid parking on the street in this part of town. If you're willing to walk a few blocks though, there is 2 hour free parking available on some of the streets further in, around the residential areas.
