Pumpkin milkshake
Lola A.

I am not a huge fan of vegan food but I am trying to eat more vegan in 2024. I wish I knew about PLNT Burger sooner. I tried their Spicy Grilled Chik'n Cutlet Sandwich and it was delicious. I don't feel like it was spicy but I also have a higher tolerance for spicy foods. I've been thinking about it since I tried it. You really cannot tell it's not chicken, and I like that. The flavor on it is also really good with the garden herb mayo. The cutlet is MushroomRoot. I also tried their pumpkin spice shake and I love that it is made with oat milk. If you like pumpkin, I think you'll really enjoy it. I like that they're located in a lot of Whole Foods locations in the DMV but wish there were more stand alone locations because I don't live near a Whole Foods. I will definitely come back though.

Ready to go!

Well, I finally tried PLNT Burger. Won't do that again. Honestly, it's not that it was bad...it just wasn't great. And there are so many good places to go in DTSS, why go to one that isn't? This is a kiosk inside Whole Foods, and on my way to Cava, I detoured and ended up here. The cashier was helpful and my order came out quickly, which was nice. The mandarin cardamom drink was like a tasty, hopefully semi-healthy Tang (anybody remember Tang?!?!). So the burger was kind of...meh. It lacked spice, flavor, and flair. It was just a sort of mushy patty of unidentifiable plant-based material. The bun was tasty, and the sauce was quite yummy, and the lettuce and tomato were very fresh (I mean, it is situated inside a grocery store - one would hope!) The sweet potato fries were the clear winner here. Crispy, crunchy, cooked perfectly. Weird green sauce I still can't identify! Also, pretty freakin expensive. So even though the fries were great, I'll probably stick to my regular options in DTSS from now on.

This location straight Made up for experience In DC, well done! Portions were healthy Wish it was cheaper, I'm poor Comin back, for sure!

This is my first time trying PLNT burger and it is surprisingly very good. The place is tucked INSIDE Wholefoods. So note that. I got a meal with The cheese burger. That includes a small fries and a small drink. I chose Strawberry rhubarb. The burger is tasty, crispy and felt light. It came with 2 sauces: the green sauces is creamier and the red sauce is sweeter. I liked the red. The drink didn't have a lot of sugar (good thing) and tasted more naturally sweet. A huge plus on that. I also liked they didn't add ice. The staff was quick, service was courteous. Cost: 11.75 for my meal. Not too bad. However, The place is noisy, not much room to sit and eat. So I ll have to reduce a star for that. I'll definitely recommend it to vegetarians. And doesn't hurt for an occasional deviance for a regular.

I'm going to be one of those people that says, "I can't believe I've never been here before until now!" I live 1.5 miles away in Silver Spring and as a pescatarian, I don't know why I've waited so long to check this place out. Maybe it's the horrifically, always crowded parking lot out back? Well, with COVID still rearing its ugly head, parking seems to be a bit easier now. I had no wait to order, and because I checked out Yelp reviews ahead of time, I knew what I wanted to order. I started with the much praised Mushroom BBQ Bacon Burger. It was really good, the hype was real. Mushroom "bacon"? yes, please. Now, I'm not a red meat eater so I can't make claims as to how it taste compared to cow meat. It was really tasty. The crispy herb fries were just that, even upon my return home. A nice change from thin, regular fries. I also ordered the Spicy Chik N' Funguy because, well... more mushrooms. A quote from the source: Crispy fried oyster mushroom stems, house made hot sauce, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, garden herb mayo! Sound delicious?! Almost. A bit too spicy for me. Joy B. would not approve. I will stick with the burger next time. I also purchased a Whisked! chocolate chip cookie for my teatime later. It's 100% vegan and Kosher certified. It was just okay. For the $2.50 price tag I'd rather get a chocolate chip cookie from Chik-fil-A, or an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie from Potbelly's. Both are delicious! However, theirs is a good option for vegans.

The Strawberry Rhubarb with Apple Cider Vinegar is refreshing and not too sweet!
Aarti B.

Great vegan concept and well executed! PLNT is tucked inside of Whole Foods and can be hard a bit hard to find near the bakery section. Worth the maze! The crispy Fun-guy Chik'n Sandwich is delicious! Glad I spotted an appetizing photo of the Chik'n sandwich and went for it! The sandwich was bursting with flavor from the crispy oyster mushrooms resembling chicken tenders and fixings of pickles, herbed mayo, and green leaf lettuce. The simple sandwich was quite tasty! The crispy herbed potato wedge fries were tasty and nice complement to the sandwich with a smoky aioli sauce. The Strawberry Rhubarb juice with apple cider vinegar is refreshing and not too sweet! Note there's a Plenty meal combo deal with some of the Plant burgers, not with the Fun-guy Chik'n Sandwich - $12.50 for a sandwich, large drink, and fries. After I ordered, I saw it! Excited to come back for another round of the crispy Fun-guy Chik'n Sandwich, herbed fries, and refreshing juice!

I wanted a veggie burger so bad and quick search led me to PLNT Burger. I'm glad I read that it was inside of Whole Foods if not we would have been circling around for a while. The reviews were really good and so many folks recommended the new patty melt so I went with that, fries and a cookies & cream milkshake. The staff were incredibly nice which is why I'm giving 3 stars. The food was NOT good. My patty fell apart which made it a mushy mess and was so difficult to eat. I'm so shocked that so many people were raving about it in their reviews but again, I've visited places that have perfected veggie burgers. Also, to note, the meat is Beyond meat and I strongly prefer impossible burgers.

Still trying out Vegan food to broaden my horizons in the food world. I have tried weird-tasting Vegan food, and this place is not one of 'em. Fyi, this place is located in the Whole Foods in Silver Spring. We went during COVID times, had a long line, but we didn't wait that long. We ordered the PLNT Burger and PLNT Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The burger was awesome. It seemed like a "regular/non-Vegan" burger! I would suggest to any of the Vegans out there, or for the people that have not tried Vegan before. Would I come here again? Yes, when the COVID has simmered down.

Hiral D.

The burgers here are tasty, but it's the fries that would keep me coming back for more! The patties are all the same - beyond burger patties, but the ingredients differentiate the taste and flavor. It's hard to imagine it's the same patty because they do a good job customizing each option. The meal is very filling - we got two burgers and one order of sweet potato fries and we were struggling to finish our meal. The sauces are pretty awesome too, each is unique so why not try them all? If you add some additional ingredients like jalapenos, or avocado, it's $1-$2 extra so it can add up, but the cost is otherwise pretty good! Staff is also nice - they are enthusiastic and regularly give out samples whether it's at noon or nine pm!

I think it's notable that this place seems to have taken over a space which was occupied by Mark's…read moreKitchen; while the urban restaurant business roils, that restaurant was there for over thirty years, so it is certainly a tough act to follow. This place offers Vietnamese cuisine, with a menu that goes a bit beyond the standards and has some decent vegan options, which is essential given that this is a notoriously hippie neighborhood. I found many people talking about having or not having reservations, but I managed to get in early. They had a slight happy hour discount on rolls, and Vietnamese rolls are invariably great, for reasons that include taro root, but here the roll was really a platter with multiple vegetables; since they came out freshly fried, I actually did a bit of a lettuce wrap technique to be able to break apart and eat them. Ordering a tofu vermicelli bowl got me a good but not great rendition; the cucumbers are not to my taste and the sauce they had to drizzle over it, while fish-free, was a bit sweet and not to my taste either. The portion size wasn't huge for the price, but fortunately I wasn't starving. Having said that, they also had a small market section with imported goods and house sauces and pickled vegetables that looked nice, and the fresh herbal flavors I received certainly made a strong case for me to come back and try something different.

Really cute place in takoma park. Loved the way the interior was decorated with French influence…read more They have a pretty straightforward menu with a lot of classic Vietnamese dishes and then some. We were looking for a place with gluten free options and they have plenty here! They even have a gluten free fish sauce which was great. The food had lots of fresh herbs and the staff were really nice at introducing us to some dishes we didn't know. I got the vermicelli noodle bowl and it was perfect for the warm weather. I definitely felt satisfied and full after but also not weighed down and heavy.

Roasted chicken: my husband said it was "very good". Chicken isn't dry, and it is flavorful. Rice and beans were excellent without overpowering the main attraction. Chocolate tart: lovely dark chocolate filling works well with the honey crust. Ice cream cools the warm tart down but the Oreo crumbs get drowned out. Still a really good choice for dessert.

I'd be excited to try their $10 burger Tuesdays and other great daily deals. Happy hour is every weekday from Monday to Friday ... And the staff were super friendly and attentive, including the one who just recently started (I think her name was Heather?). I would be delighted to return! Mediterranean + bar food makes for a fun time.

No fanfare, no bells & whistles whatsoever ( that comes with other restaurants) .... Just absurdly delicious food with a super chill, laid back atmosphere. The food is 6 1/2 stars out of 5 !!! Act 1: 1/2 dozen of mixed oysters from the local regions. And hands down these were the freshest, chilled oysters I have had... I'm what one would call an oyster enthusiast on every level... and Motorkat served the best bed of oysters I've ever tasted ( and I don't say that lightly ) Act 2: Branzino, potatoes and black rice. The branzino was cooked to perfection and seasoned to an "OMG" level ! Fluffy with a savory sauce to complement the entire dish. The potatoes were the perfect platter filler and did its part to blend everything together. Now for reasons unknown I substituted for the black rice... and this was a next level adjustment because this rice is so good. Never indulged until this day and now I'm addictive because the texture and taste are very unique ( absolutely scrumptious ) Now the food was certainly the highlight... but I must commend their entire staff for doing an amazing job at making sure my night was a pleasurable and seamless experience. To my server and host Andrea who handled things in a professional and pleasant manner with a dazzling smile on her face the entire time !! I will not allow this gem to be hidden no more... because Motorkat is a truly special restaurant ( don't believe me... well see for yourself !!! )

Fried chicken definitely lacked a salt but was nice and crispy. Could've used more curry flavor on the chicken itself and mee didn't think there was enough sauce on the plate either. I think maybe something else besides rice would have paired better. Seafood stew was tasty and had lots of various fish. Suggest pairing it with some bread too. Wasabi and yuzu oyster shooters were tasty but I wasn't the biggest fan of the specific oyster type. Drink was good. Banoffee trifle was a nice sweet treat. Tasted mainly of cream and dulce but would have preferred more crunch and bananas.

I recently brought two good friends here because the space is bright and decent. That said, reservations are a MUST if you are bringing a party of larger than 2, due to how tiny the space is, and for a group, you really need to get spots either by the window or maybe their dark nook in the back.
