Best burgers in Rochester - Edit
Hot chip has the best burgers in the area hands down. Lots of options plus a build your own. For sides my favorite is the vegan 9-5 salad. There are also vegan kids options that are relatively affordable.

Great Vegan Junk Food - Edit
Oh, so good. They know burgers, and they make them right. There are plenty of choices, just make sure you are on the vegan menu. The Mr. Lebowski is especially good. I also love their vegan nachos. Their sauces are great, and getting a little popcorn is a fun touch. The shakes are not the best I’ve had, but they are still pretty good. Definitely recommend.

Will visit again - Edit
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I loved my vegan impossible burger but would also like to see a lower fat version of a vegan burger too. Outside area was wonderful. Will definitely go back.

Their topping combinations are unique and creative, they have a decent beer list (with local options), and the servers are all friendly and helpful. I ordered the Mr Lebowski, which was super good. I wish I would have ordered the vegan nachos as well.

5 Star Food and Service! - Edit
My wife and I were looking for a vegan place close to our hotel and were lucky enough to find Hot Chip! You can order your food from a kiosk and they will bring it to you at a table or you can sit at the bar. We decided to sit at the bar and were promptly served with menus. We ordered our beers (very nice selection) and to our pleasant surprise, the bartender gave us a bag of popcorn!!! Due to the pandemic, a lot of places have stopped providing popcorn but at Hot Chip, they pop it and put it into bags to pass out. A huge plus for us. We ordered the Vegan Nachos and our burgers. The Vegan Nachos were a very nice size and very good. Like a lot of nacho servings, the good stuff is on top but the chips were very good by themselves. I ordered the classic cheeseburger which had a great sauce (big kudos to the bartender who recommended it and got me an extra side of it). My wife had the Mind If I Smoke burger and thought it was really good. My sweet potato tots were good and the sauce made a nice dipping sauce for them. We will definitely be back to the Hot Chip the next time we are in Rochester!

Great! - Edit
Everything you'd want in a classic burger joint but vegan. Burger, shake, and fries were all delicious. There is also a variety of great options for your omnivore companions.
