DBL PLNT Cheeseburger
Julia P.

5 stars for the food! 3 stars for the kitchen staff manners and cleanliness. Tried PLNT burgers for the first time and honestly it tastes GREAT. No meaty smell (duh) and their patty is just seasoned perfectly. Buns are not dry either! I've only tried their impossible burgers but perhaps I'll try fish / chicken burgers one day. If you are in the area and looking for a healthy meal, PLNT Burger is your spot!

PLNT Mushroom BBQ Bacon Burger
Eunice M.

I was in the Columbia Whole Foods and then right after checking out my groceries...hunger struck me like lightening. Instead of driving out of the parking lot, we turned around from the checkout and tried this place. What was meant to be a snack split between two people could easily have been double the order and then add some fries. Don't sleep on their mushroom bacon burger!!! If you've ever had a smash burger before, this plant -based alternative surpasses it!!! The sauce is fire, the bread has a nice ample mouth feel, and the mushrooms are marinated and cooked as a beautiful finish. Will be back to try some more!

Ordered from Colombia location, and noticed the chicken patty and lil dippers looked different and asked team members there about it who said they "squish" them now. Confused, we called the silver spring location and were told that the chicken patty has changed to Tindle chicken patties and was told it was gluten free however the Tindle website says otherwise about their products. The allergen info on the plnt burger website has not changed to reflect this new item and the menu still says Meati chicken patties when I ordered from the Colombia location. Very upsetting to be served a product I did not order and not have accurate allergen info. My spouse also ordered the lil dippers and noted how different they were compared to previous orders, likely another Tindle product and not the regular lil dippers. New products were very unappetizing compared to previous experiences, if these new items are permanent we do not plan to eat here in the future.

Absolutely delicious!! Everything is fantastic, great flavors, very satisfying!! I kept going back for more!

I've been to this PLNT Burger on multiple occasions and it's always been quality. I've had so many items from their menu and they do extremely well at recreating classic meals while putting a Vegan twist on it. On this day, I had the bbq mushroom burger, the spicy chik'n sandwich & the vegan chili and cheese fries. Everything was delicious and I got my food in about 8 minutes which was also a pleasant surprise. This location is inside of a Whole Foods grocery store so you won't get all of the bells and whistles of a regular restaurant, but what they lack in terms of seating, privacy, etc. they overcompensate for with pleasant service and yummy food. I think you will enjoy this Plnt burger location as much as I do. Their consistency is unmatched.

Ive come here twice this week the food is always fresh and the service is good. I came for strawberry milk shakes, they should have an option to add Oreos to the milk shake option. I love their food and the options they have. I also appreciated not seeing any crazy food handling concerns while there. They were busy and focused, you could tell. They had it where you could place your own order from their tablet, so it's contactless and they would just assist as needed, that was very different, but I can respect it.

Steakhouse burger inside

I was pleasantly surprised this week after trying PLNT Burger for the 3rd time. The previous times I've gone, I tried their PLNT cheeseburger and chik'n sandwich, and I remember thinking they were fine but nothing I was excited to go back for. This time I tried the steakhouse burger (apparently new to the menu as of 1/25/2022) and I thought it was excellent. The portobello mushroom pieces really brought out a *natural* type of meatiness that the other sandwiches seemed to lack. The potatoes, caramelized onions, and steak sauce also contributed to an excellent combination of flavor and texture. The sweet potato fries were also very good. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, not greasy. The outer crisp seemed to have a thin layer of tempura or something which was nice. The large fries actually is quite a bit of potato to eat, even though it might not look like it from the package. We tried some sauces with the fries - the maple mustard was good. The chipotle (?) sauce was not bad but I think the sweetness of the maple paired better. The herb sauce was mild and hard to taste with the fries. The barbecue sauce was a little overpowering with its sweetness. And of course, ketchup went great with the fries. I didn't think the sandwich needed any additional sauce so I didn't try them on there. We also tried the blood orange soda which was refreshing and not too sweet. The food was a little pricey but I think I'd go back every so often to get this combination again or to try some of the other things on the menu.

I'm TRYING (not really, lol) to be more healthy and adventurous when it comes to food, I thought I'd give eating a plant-based burger a try. As an added incentive, I saw a groupon offer which motivated me even more. Plnt Burger is located inside Whole Foods. When you go through the entrance, make a left and go all the way down to the other end of the store. You will see the bake shop and Plnt Burger is to the right. They have counter seats which are currently closed. When I got to the register to place my order, I told the server I had a groupon. She informed me that I had to spend $16. Not sure why since it clearly says $15. I sucked up the extra dollar, but it's just the principle. You should honor what you say. I ordered a regular cheeseburger meal which included one side and a 10 oz. drink. I chose the sweet potato crinkles (+.30 addl charge for upgrade) as my side, sweet chili as my snack sauce, and root beer for my drink. I also ordered the crispy herb fries and a maple mustard as the sauce. Note, an order of fries come with one sauce. Flavors include: Garden Herb, Bloomie Spice, Maple Mustard, Sweet Chili. Each additional sauce cost 25 cents. For a snack, I got a chocolate chip cookie. I was really hoping that I would like the plant-based burger, but was disappointed with my experience. I didn't like the taste or texture. I wasn't sure if I would even be able to finish it, but I did. At least I can say I tried. I don't typically choose sweet potato fries as a side, but so glad I did. That was my favorite and the highlight of my meal. I would go back for just that! The cookie was good too. It reminded me of a chewy Chips Ahoy cookie. When I got home I realized that I may have gotten the same sauce even though I requested two different ones. I believe I got two of the Maple Mustard. I really enjoyed the flavor. I typically don't enjoy regular mustard, only if it's sweetened. In short, I would choose to eat a salad or a vegetarian entree over a plant-based burger any day. Proud of myself for trying something new. If I ever happen to stop by Whole Foods to shop, I would definitely come back for a snack or their fries.

We only had small plates - Edamame Masala Croquetted (VG) and Eggplant & Potato Chaat (VG, GF). Both were very tasty, but the Edamame had a little bit of kick to it due to the masala's they used. We didn't end up ordering any entrees because the small plates were a good portion for 2 people. The menu itself looks very delicious with a mix of Indian and Fusion. Lots of vegetarian options and they're willing to customize many items. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd def come back for another visit.

The food was fantastic from start to finish, and the menu had a great variety of options that made it hard to decide what to order.

Great cocktail selection, well-balanced flavors, and everything came out quickly. It paired perfectly with the meal and added to the overall experience. Service throughout the night was friendly, attentive, and professional. Our server checked in often without being intrusive and made us feel very welcomed. The only downside was the seating location. Unfortunately, we were seated behind a large pillar, which limited our view of the restaurant and took away a little from the atmosphere. You could tell the space has a lively and energetic vibe, but our table placement made it harder to fully enjoy that part of the experience. That being said, the quality of the food and service easily outweighed that issue. We still had a great time and left impressed with the overall experience. The Food Market absolutely lives up to the hype, and we're already looking forward to coming back again and hopefully sitting in a different section next time.

We were given NO heads up that they were running to far behind, we had to keep calling them and asking when they would arrive!

Takumi Japanese Bistro and Bar…read more My first visit to this welcome addition to our local mall. The restaurant blends modern and traditional Japanese design and occupies the former space where a coffee shop once stood. There is ample free parking outside, though Friday evenings in this part of Columbia are notoriously busy. Food -- Thoughtfully presented, visually appealing, and made with fresh ingredients. Seafood Miso Soup -- A large bowl filled with whole fresh clams, scallops, shrimp, and green onion. A very generous portion--so much so that she brought some home to enjoy later. Salmon Skin Salad -- Pieces of salmon skin ranging from crispy to slightly chewy, mixed with cucumber, fish roe, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. A delicious combination. Signature Maki - "Maryland" Roll -- Beautifully presented with blue crab, shishito peppers (mild and slightly sweet), Old Bay-torched salmon, spicy mayo, and rice pearls. Both friends quickly devoured theirs. Prices felt somewhat higher than typical mall fare, but the freshness of the ingredients and attention to detail made it worthwhile. The entire staff we encountered were engaging and genuinely seemed happy to be there for their guests. A big nod to management for making hospitality an important part of the dining experience. One minor suggestion: the attractive menus could use periodic checks, as a few pages appeared a bit worn. I would happily recommend a visit--perhaps on a less hectic day so you can enjoy the décor and food at a more relaxed pace. There is also an outdoor patio that will be especially appealing once the warmer weather returns.
