Desert Dry Burger - Edit
I ordered the vegan burger and a side of tots. The burger includes lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles. The patty is very dry and soft. Conversely, the tots are perfectly crispy. I appreciate a vegan option in this relatively remote location, but I would not eat this burger again.

A Surprise In the Desert - Edit
Awesome little diner at the Petrified Forest. Vegetarian and vegan options. Real Vegetable Meat made in house from Sonoran Tepary Beans.
Read moreBurger was delicious, a bit soft, but super flavorful. Ask for no cheese.
Can also get the meat in tacos.
In you enter the park from the North side (I-40) you can eat at the diner without paying the park entrance fee, so if you're just looking for a snack in this veggie desert, this is the spot for you!!
Pros: A surprising amount of options. Reasonably priced.
Cons: None.
