It was good, not great

I came here on a recommendation from a bike tour guide. It was just okay. The sloppy Dave (tofu sloppy Joe) was very salty. I also had the burned broccoli salad, it was good but had a taste I didn’t care for. I don’t think I’d go back. It was too pricey for the meh tasting food. The broccoli and sloppy Dave were almost $30. Glad it was busy but it’s not the quality I’m used to for a vegetarian/vegan spot.

Pros: All vegetarian, can be made vegan.

Cons: Far too salty, Expensive

Amazing

This place is just so good, and the vibe is so fun. There were dishes that I would happily eat every day. The cornbread that comes with the spicy lentils was mind-blowing - the first made me sad to think that it was going to be gone soon. The Sloppy Dave was great, and the peanut butter pie felt like eating a cloud. I didn’t love the burnt broccoli salad, if I’m honest, but the candied cashews that came with it were delish, so it wasn’t all bad.

so so good but pricey

The new Superiority Burger space is fun and the expanded menu is as tasty as ever. Especially don't sleep on the yuba sandwich! Cocktails and a full bar are now available too if that's your thing.

Really the only downside is to make a meal of it you kind of need to order a sandwich and a side and it's hard to do that for less than $40, which really kind of pushes it out of the elevated fast food price bracket they pretend to be playing in.

Good!

Just visited them in their new location. The new location used to be a popular Ukrainian/Polish restaurant so it was fun to be back in the space… quite the same as when it was Odessa. I applaud anyone who opens a restaurant, especially a vegetarian restaurant… BUT… i just think of you are going to be a “burger joint” then the burgers should “kill” and not murmur…

Tasty and unique veggie burgers

Great veggie burgers that aren’t just impossible/beyond meat. I love this place. The burgers are on the smaller side FYI so you might want to get more than 1 or get a side too.

Pros: All vegan

Very Good

Very tasty food and not overly expensive. I love the fact that everything is super fresh as well and rotates with seasonal veg. Would love to see a menu online as well as an option to order ahead too because the line *can* get very long.

Not my favorite

This place wasn’t my favorite, although I do love supporting vegetarian restaurants. I personally think there are better options out there.

I don’t have enough good things to say about this place!

You gotta come here, the hype is real! These burgers are to die for and the ice ream!!! Omfg. They have seasonal soups and creative combos, the iced cream flavors change all the time, their salads are wonderful.

Pros: Everything is to die for , Seasonal flavors, Always something new

Favorite spot in East Village

Honestly, this place is extremely underrated. It has the most unique and delicious vegan food I've had. Plus, the focaccia is to die for!

Tiny

This place is tiny. Although there are 3 to 4 seats, they’re mainly for individuals. It feels cramped. The burgers are decent, on the smaller size portion, but not amazingly different from other places. If you happen to be in the area, it’s worth a visit. Otherwise, it’s very inconvenient and probably not worth a special trip.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Small, cramped

Tiny place that hits the spot

A small burger place with a hip atmosphere with a small menu of vegetarian burgers (though everything can be made vegan). The place is very cramped; though there is seating you should plan on take-out (there is a park nearby). I confess that I prefer the fast food in the Vegan Court which is nearby on St. Marks place; still, the food here is tasty and good for a quick bite.

Pros: Filling, tasty, Hip atmosphere

Cons: Very cramped, Not super healthy

AMAZING burger

Believe the hype on this one, I really thought the burger was delicious. It's not trying to be meat-like and its not your typical grainy veg based burger either. It has a unique texture and the flavour is amazing. Hard to describe, you should try the burger for yourself! I loved it. The sides were less memorable (still tasty though) so overall a great takeaway spot in this 'hip' area.

Accidentally vegan, deliberately delicious

Dinky tasty burgers available as vegetarian or vegan at this hole in the wall style burger joint. Definitely worth a special trip at least once while in NYC.

Pros: Tasty vegan options

So hip, so good.

A place that is too hip for its own good, but that sums up the changing Lower East Side. Good burgers, though. Eat in Tompkins Square Park as you'll be lucky to find a space inside.

Tasty burger, excellent sides

I could have eaten a whole tray full of their sides, all very unique and flavorful. The burger was good, but even the “bigger” burger was still on the small side. The patty itself was a little mushy for my taste. It tastes like a classic fast food burger but with a heftier price tag. I wouldn’t come here if you have a big appetite since portions are so so small.

Pros: Creative side dishes, Friendly staff

Cons: Very small portions , Expensive for the amount of food you get

Not the best burger

We come from Spain to taste this burger and we were very disappointed, we had big expectation and it was an average legumes burger like other we've tasted before.

Cons: No restroom, no fries, small burger

Real hipster place, tiny, great deal!

I really enjoy going to hipster places for the special friendly atmosphere, specific vibe... not all places that are claimed to be "hipster" are really hipster. But this place? The best! You see it, you feel it, you are it.

Superiority Burger is a tiny little spot in east village, I had no idea what to expect, I didn't do much research so when we ordered The Superiority burger ($6) we soon realized it won't be enough. But hey - six bucks for a delicious veggie burger? We also tried Megamouth ($9) which was bigger and also very tasty.

It is not strictly vegan place, but they can make everything vegan, just ask.

There is not much space to sit, it "you come, order and go" kind of a place. But we got lucky and got there when it wasn't busy and we enjoyed our dinner at this old-school "folding desk chair/bench" thingy. It was fun!

Shout out to cool staff.

Pros: Great deal , Amazing atmosphere , Awesome staff

Cons: Little, almost no seating

Tasty burger

We tasted their famous burger, in the vegan version. Important to say that they have the vegan and the vegetarian version. The burger is tasty and well done. The place is small, something nice to do is to take the food to go and eat at Tompkins Square Park, which is very close. We did this and saw several people there too.

small but mighty

these burgers are reeeeeally good but pretty small--somewhere between a white castle slider and a regular sized burger. they're also pretty greasy, but burgers are not health food, people. many things on the menu can be made vegan, just remember to ask

Pros: fast, friendly service

Cons: no bathroom

Loved it!

Their signature vegan burger was delicious and so was the romaine lettuce with cauliflower bits and pickled cucumbers in a ranch dressing! Care to share the recipe?
