Animal Products Added Back to Menu

Absolutely disappointed. After raving about this place for years, sending & bringing countless people here, Burgerlords has decided to add animal products back onto their menu. This used to be my favorite burger spot in Los Angeles & now I'm not sure if I'll ever go back. Feels like betrayal, regardless of their reasonings.

Pros: Great house-made vegan burger

Cons: Added animal products back to the menu

Now serving animals and dairy because vegan wasn’t profitable enough for them :(

Please stop serving animals as food.

Cons: Selling animal products again, no longer vegan

Back to serving animals

They originally were a meat w/ vegan option spot, but made the full vegan switch a few years ago. The owners say they lost 50% of revenue in doing so and haven't recovered, so now they're reverting back to a meat w/ vegan option establishment.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Back to serving animals , Parking

You can now give them one star because they are no longer a vegan restaurant. When they were listed as a vegan restaurant the lowest you could give was 2 stars.

Them Nuggets Tho!

There is something about how Burgerlords does their burger patty that is just sensational. I tasted maybe yams, onions... beans? Iono, but it was such an amazing mix with great seasoning that really gave me a tasty veggie burger vibes.

Mixed that in together with all their fantastic burger fixings including the "2000 island dressing," lettuce, tomato, and grilled onions... wowza, it was fantastic. Absolutely delicious burger to fill my needs.

In addition, their Fried Tofu Nuggets ($7) were out of this world good. It comes in a small pack of four but the way that the nuggets were made was simply magnifique. The outer breaded coating tasted just like fast food chicken nuggets and the firm tofu consistency was impressive. Dip that with their vegan dressings and it was yet another win.

Loved Burgerlords! I'm so glad that Chinatown has some great plant based dining options now and what an impressive showing from our lords here.

Pros: Amazing house burger and nuggets

Best House-Made Burger

Their burger patty can’t be beat. Best I’ve ever had.

Their weekend breakfast burrito is amazing. The Brain Dead collaboration burger is incredible.

The flavor of the milkshake is perfect. Not too sweet.

The yellow pepper sauce is super hot and a high recommend.

Take your food and eat at the LA Historic State Park just a few minutes away.

Hands down best vegan burger in the city.

Burgerlords makes their own patties and they’re divine (they also have a “beefy” option for those who prefer it). They’ve perfected the classic California style burger with the spongey bun, sauce, and all the toppings. This is the only place where I’ll eat veggie burgers now because I’ve been disappointed everywhere else.

Pros: Affordable, Outdoor seating

Satisfying!

I absolutely love that they make their very own patties! I'm so sick of beyond and impossible burgers. Oreo shake tasted different then the first time I had it a few years ago, but wasn't bad. This should definitely be one of your stops if your close by! And don't forget to place your order online first, you can't order at the window.

Pros: All vegan , Makes own patties

Pretty good all around

We got the lord of the fries (animal style), cheeseburger, sourdough garlic melt, and oreo shake. The burger was pretty good, but the party melt was excellent! Fries and shake were also very good. The shake was made with tahini, which was pretty interesting. Prices weren't too bad, like $8 for the burger, $10 for the melt.

Pros: Good food , All vegan

Cons: Garlic melt was a little oily

Best Vegan Burger in LA

This vegan burger is one of the best I’ve ever had. They make it in house from scratch and it’s perfection. Plus their 2000 Island sauce is tasty.

Pros: All vegan now!, Great variety

Cons: Open 12-6 Thursday-Sunday for COVID

Its officially all vegan!

I would come here when it wasnt all vegan so the fact that they transitionedto 100% plant based makes me sooo happy! I have to say though the highlight of this place is their shakes!

Full Flavors & Filling

Great food - the vegan burger is house made and doesn’t try to imitate meat, way better than just an Impossible/Beyond burger 🙌. The tofu nuggets are good, and the Fancy Ranch has a strong, fresh dill flavor. The fries/Lord of the Fries complete the meal. The vegan shakes are filling and delicious- a strong taste of sesame makes them unique. Nice to have a quick, complete meal in a great location.

Pros: Well priced, Clearly labeled vegan options on menu, Fast Service

not that great

The vegan burger has no taste the cheese is good the shakes are awesome the Lord of the fries if great.. but the burger is not good needs flavor. Also check your order cuz they will charge you for lord of the fries and give you regular fries.. double check your order, this has happened to me a few times now I learned, truth be told I only go there for the shake and fries. I havnt tried the tofu nuggests so cant comment on that.

Pros: Pro - Vegan alternative

Cons: Con - Burger is not that good, Con- double check your meal if you order take out

Mannnnn

Maybe I’m spoiled by the impossible burger, but this burger wasn’t good at all. It fell apart, and just had a weird taste to it. Fries were good, and the milk shake was great.

Pros: Fries , Milk shake

Cons: Burger wasn’t that good.

Divine vegan burger and shake

I had the vegan double cheese burger, fries, and a vegan chocolate shake! Everything was unbelievably slap your mamma good! Please don’t slap anyone, but the burger looked to be made from scratch with quality ingredients, not processed vegan food stuff. The shoestring fries were perfect and seasoned well. The chocolate shake was out of this world smooth and delicious. I had to double check it was vegan. Can’t wait to go back. Nice little treat.

Pros: Homemade vegan burger patties with real plants, Vegan shake that tasted like the real thing , Shoestring cut fries

Cons: A little pricey

Good burger!

I have relatives that simply won’t go to all vegan places, so I don’t push it. That’s when I need excellent options like this! I loved the vegan shake options and the fries are super delicious.

Pros: Offers vegan shakes!

Cons: Limited parking/street parking , Small outdoor seating only, No public bathroom

More vegan items added

Came to Burgerlords the first time for their vegan burgers which are really good. Now they’ve added vegan milkshakes and tofu nuggets which are also amazing. Good place to come with your non-vegan friends so you can talk them into trying the vegan options available here!

Great Burgers for Herbivores & Omnivores

Great place to get a great double cheeseburger Vegan or regular. The Lord of the Fries animal style fries are also excellent and it’s hard to tell the difference between the vegan version and the regular version. The vegan burger has great flavor But softer than other Plant Based options I’ve had. Still this place is worth stopping by if your doing anything near downtown

Great vegan burgers!!

Burgerlords is awesome! They don’t have a huge selection for vegans, just two burgers, but they are so good! Definitely worth a visit for the food here! They also have a vegan option of their Lord of the Fries, which has vegan thousand island and onions over fries. I will definitely be visiting here again and again!

Pros: Reasonably priced, Great vegan burger

Cons: No public restrooms, Small outdoor eating area

Pros: Large portions
