Worth trying, wouldn't go back

Had the vegan chili dog with fries. Service was fast, and it was as promised. The vegan cheese was (not surprisingly) unmelted, but the chili was good. The fries were bland, but ketchup and mustard (as well as salt and pepper) were available.

Pros: Quick, Vegan option

Cons: Nothing special

A Doctor Doom Experiment?!?

The ‘chicken’ patty was very strange, had almost no flavour and was just quite chewy.
The burger had no sauce in it apart from the guac so definitely needed some out a sachet!
The top bun was also so stale compared to the bottom, must of been under the heat lamp for a bit.
The burger also was so slidey, it kept just flying out the opposite side with each bite, made for a fun eating experience though.
Fine for a cheap quick bite though and this one was definitely edible!

Pros: Cheap, Quick

Cons: Bland, Could easily be improved!

Horrible burgers

The worst burgers we had in our lives. We had both the chicken (gardein, I think) and the beef (cannot remember for sure but I think it was beyond) and they were both equally bad.

Pros: At least you don’t starve

Cons: Tasteless

‘At least you don’t starve’ is definitely the best way to describe most of the food at Universal 😂

2 options but food not great

They offer a beyond burger and garden chicken and avocado sandwich- which i got. It is nice to have options but it’s not amazing food. It’s convenient but there are definitely more interesting places. It’s nice to have avocado included for something slightly different.

Pros: 2 options, convenient

Cons: basic fast food

Decent!

A burger is a burger, I just got a plain beyond burger with cheeze. It was really good, but it’s just a burger.
They have a vegan burger and a vegan chicken sandwich. I’m sure the chicken would have been good but they only have ketchup and mustard so keep that in mind!

Cute and convenient

Love the atmosphere here. 50s diner setup with cars displayed - outside and inside seating available. As for options, not much, but they offer a Gardien chk'n sandwich with avocado or a beyond burger and fries. The price seems to be cheaper than other places in the park which was nice. They allowed us to fill up our water bottles for free.

Nice to have an option!

We got the chick’n sandwich and fries. But there is a vegan burger too. It’s so nice to have options when you’re in a park. We pre-ordered and our food was ready very soon after sitting. If we come back, I’ll try the burger next time. Very pleased overall.

Pros: Two fully Vegan sandwiches , Easy ordering , Convenient

2 vegan options

You have two vegan options which you can find under the "healthy options" of the restaurant. One is the beyond burger with vegan cheese and the other is the vegan chicken (similar to Tofu) with follow your heart vegan cheese. The waiter will warn you saying these options take more time but I told her we went on purpose for these options so we'll wait without a problem. So it's an option and if you are with your family and they are not vegan you will feel a bit more "normal"

Pros: Vegan cheese and vegannaise

Cons: Takes more time to make

Completely vegan option on the menu!

The chik’n sandwich is completely vegan as is! No fuss, and easy to order. A great option right inside Universal Studios!
