Loved the vegan hotdog! - Edit
Easily located, the Chelsea branch offers the same option as the other restaurants: the vegan soy hot dog and the veggie homemade burgers (I had them both), served in organic buns, with coleslaw and lots of mustard. Mayo is also vegan.

Better Burger Indeed!! - Edit
This place made me so happy, I really wish they had one in my city. What a perfect idea; a veggie friendly fast food burger place! I had the vegan soy burger with vegan mayonnaise and fries. All came out very quickly and was delicious. My friend had the veggie burger, which was amazing as well. This place is great!

Addictive! - Edit
We went back to this place several times. I would've gone every day if I'd had my way; the burgers were that good. My boyfriend and I went with his friend and nephew - neither who are veg*n - and they loved it just as much as we did. My boy had the veggie burger every time, with Canadian-style soy bacon and soy Americano cheese. I had the soy burger with salad, soy Americano cheese and vegan mayo. This burger reminded me seriously of a Quarter Pounder with Cheese - but it was even better! I tried it with the Canadian-style soy bacon the first time, but I found that too dry, so didn't go for it again. If I go back to NYC I'd love to go there again and try the jumbo soy dog. I couldn't recommend this place more - it's a real crowd-pleaser, for both veg*ns and omnivores alike.

No no, never again - Edit
Big waste of time and money. I ordered the soy burger and it was awful. I couldn't even finish it. The bun was so much smaller than the patty so everything was slipping off. The patty was dry and tasteless. Their soda machine was damaged and too much syrup was coming with no soda. Several customers complained as we all poured out our drinks but the management never fixed the problem the whole time I was there, nor did they offer us something else to drink in the meantime. I left half my burger on my tray and high tailed it to another restaurant. Wasn't worth it at all. Yuck.

The Best Burger! - Edit
We came here for a quick lunch and loved the diner style. The fries are healthy (air fried??) and the vegan burger was tasty. Vegan mayo on tap and healthy salad choices make this a great alternative fast food joint. For a junk food fix without the grease. Bright and airy interior and friendly staff make Better Burger a cut above the usual FFJ's.

What a cool place! - Edit
Went to Better burger last December. The chelsea branch was very cool, packed with beautiful people, and the air-baked fries were so delicious I couldn't believe they were healthy! The salad I had was ok, nothing special
