    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.

    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!

    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 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.

    PLNT Egg Sammy

    My fiancé and I first tried them on August 8, 2019 for a pre-release at my synagogue Ohev Sholom, whose Rabbi Herzfeld certified this now popular and growing vegan burger joint as Kosher. We were very impressed and have had it there and from their original Silver Spring location several times. We were glad that a neighborhood with a ton of restaurants now has its fully vegetarian, vegan, and kosher option. With their own in-app coupons and Groupon deals, you can always save money. They are always slowly expanding the menu and the latest additions are the Baja Burger and the Egg Sammy. The meat is Beyond and dairy and egg products all taste real or even better than that. Their Chili Bowl is also great and it seems that the recipe comes from or is at least inspired by Virginia Ali, the vegetarian co-founder of Ben's Chili Bowl who is a friend of our belated best man. Our favorite side dish are the Bloomies. In just under two years they have expanded to 6 location across the DMV and another 2 in the Philly area. Last time we went the staff says they are going to soon cover the East Coast seaboard from Boston to Miami. If you are a herbivore or omnivore you will love this. And if a carnivore, I dare you to try it as well.

    Crispy Herb Fries
    Libby F.

    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.

It wasn't busy in here when I showed up, but the employees sure were busy behind the counter. There were only two people in front on me and it took a bit longer than it should have. I liked the set up in here. It felt more city than I expected. Even though it was in Silver Spring, I felt like I was more in DC than I expected. I ordered what I thought would be quickest to not only make, but eat. I went with their nugget meal, with lemonade. If a meal could be any more of a disaster, then this was it. I sat down and opened up everything, sauces included. First dip into the sauce, en route to my mouth, the coating gives way and sauce covered nugget falls and rolls down my hoodie. There are days you may daydream that you want to be covered in barbecue sauce, but not days like this where you just wanted to eat and go about your day. With that misstep aside, I ended up finishing my meal, covering up my stain, and leaving. Never to return here again.

No one is going to miss this place. Litter covered, and I mean COVERED the floor. Straw wrappers, entire servings of fries, cup lids, receipts, you name it... half the dining room was blocked off, seemingly because no one wanted to put forth the effort to maintain it. The five available tables were all dirty with salt and used napkins. The accessible table was the only one available, probably because it sits smack in the middle of the room. Every single person has to walk past it from the door to the register. I got brushed on the back of the head when some young noisemaker went back for his fourth refill. Most of the patrons were making themselves feel important by talking at the top of their lungs about mfers and such. Not the most welcoming atmosphere, but I'm the tourist here. Clearly. I had a cheeseburger on one of the stalest rolls ever left way too long on the shelf. Not really the kind of place you go back to complain and ask for them to remake it. Some flirt at the counter asked repeatedly for his nuggets to be freshly dropped, apparently not something they do often. Jeremy ordered his usual smorgasbord of items, but didn't even finish his first burger because they got his special request toppings wrong and he said the ketchup ruined the whole thing. That's saying a lot - when Jeremy doesn't finish a burger. Nothing like spending the very last of your money before your next check on a bag of inedible "food."

    The Taco Bell Cantina in Silver Spring is like a warm, cheesy hug that never ends--literally,…read morebecause it's open 24 hours. You could walk in at 3 p.m. for lunch or 3 a.m. for "life decisions" and it's ready for you either way. The place is always clean--like, suspiciously clean for a 24-hour spot. Even the restrooms are spotless, which is either impressive or proof they hired a bathroom wizard. The staff is super nice, though I think they could use more people working (probably a management thing, because no one making bean burritos at 2 a.m. deserves blame). Now, the magic here is that they serve alcoholic beverages. Yes, you can pair your bean burrito with a Baja Blast spiked just enough to make you feel like you're starring in your own taco commercial. And they just dropped a new Baja Blast flavor, so obviously I'm going tonight to do important "research" for my next review. Food-wise? Bean burrito--amazing. Taco Supreme--amazing. Crunchwrap--amazing. The nacho cheese sauce? A love language. You can customize everything, which means if you want extra beans, three types of cheese, and a dramatic amount of sour cream, they'll make it happen without judgment. In conclusion: Dear Taco Bell Cantina, I love you. Never change. Unless it's to add more Baja Blasts, in which case... please change immediately.
