Vegan fast food - Edit
I had the breakfast sausage fried egg croissant, and my daughter had a ranch chicken wrap. Both really good! My daughter is not vegan and she enjoyed her wrap.

Grateful for the option - Edit
Honestly not my favorite vegan burger place by far, but the food is alright. I feel like the vegan burgers and breakfast sandwiches I make myself are better and are not dry whereas theirs can be. It’s nice to visit a rare vegan drive thru though. I noticed the burger tastes a lot better when I get the veggie patty and extra sauce. Adding tomato likely will help as well. I’m giving an extra star because they offer gluten free bread!😄

Vegan Drive Thru - Edit
This was the first meal I had eating out when I first went vegan 2 years ago and it still holds up.
Read moreEverything from the chicken nuggets, chicken sandwiches, Iconic fries (vegan animal style fries), oatmilk shakes, and the breakfast sandwiches have all been so tasty in my experience.

Probably the first vegan drive-thru - Edit
Menu has a variety of different burgers and wraps, as well as monthly unique shakes and other flavors. It has many different dipping sauces to choose from and the whole place is overall cheaper than other vegan burger joints 🐾. It's a cool place to go with friends on a whim, my favorite is the buffalo 66, nuggets with chipotle sauce & pineapple shake.

Good. - Edit
I am in town with a friend who is getting care nearby. I ordered the guacamole burger, side salad and orange juice. The guacamole, jalapeño aioli, side salad, and orange juice were excellent. For me, just not my favorite plant based patty or roll. I would probably put it in a tortilla or something next time. So happy to have options and a drive thru!! 😊.

Cheap,Delicious&Vegan - Edit
This place is so reasonably priced, has a great ambiance, and EVERYTHING is Vegan so you don’t have to think twice about ordering! I recommend the Iconic Fries, Milkshakes, and Cheesecakes specifically, but I’ve enjoyed everything there so far. Will be picking up one of their cute merch shirts too soon!

Ugh. Gross. - Edit
I was so excited to try this place! The woman who took my order was SUPER rude. She acted like I was a burden for just ordering.
Read moreWhen she handed me my drink I reconfirmed my order, making sure it was correct. She seemed even more irritated with me at that point. But assured me she got it.
I didn’t realize until I was too far away that my order was, in fact, wrong.
The food was mediocre at best. Super greasy. It made my stomach hurt the rest of the day.
The oat milk shake was also just okay. Other commenters mentioned it kind of tasting kinda weird. Probably because it’s made with oat milk. Which I normally drink but not when it comes to shakes, soy and almond go better imo.
This location seemed dirty. As others have said, the bathrooms are outside and you can only open it with an employee. They’re super filthy. I felt so gross after using it.
I guess Plant Power is trying to go for that “really gross and greasy fast food that you only stop at because you have no other options while on the road” vibe lol.
Pros: Large sandwich
Cons: Rude employees, Dirty, Inaccurate order

I can’t eat at diners with my family, so I usually pick up food from here. The food is pretty good, if a bit pricey. Sometimes they get your orders wrong, but the staff seem friendly.

Fast food, Filthy Bathroom, Loud Music - Edit
We were traveling home and needed to stop for a bite of lunch. We checked Happy Cow and WOW….a fast food vegan restaurant chain showed up on our search. We were not disappointed with the food. It was fast food and as expected, not fine vegan food so I would have given it a 4 star review just for the support as we are very plant based food supportive. After finishing our meal we wanted to freshen up and there was an “employee” bathroom and a “customer” bathroom. The condition of the “customer” bathroom was really awful😢. I understand a bathroom needing maintenance attention due to people scattering paper towels and not bothering to pick them up (as this was) but this bathroom needed to have a deep steam clean and upgrade as well. I videoed the condition and sent an email to their corporate office in hopes that the owner and management will do the right thing and resolve the deficiencies. The floor was filthy with a spattering of unknown fluid, the white tile grout to the right of the sink was darkly stained with a puddle of goo in the corner of the floor below it that probably hadn’t see a mop in months, there was graffiti etched into the enamel of the sink, the face of the paper towel dispenser was spattered with what appeared to be water marks that had accumulated over months, there was a plunger to the left of the toilet which had particles of TP on the outside of it and it rested in a tray of dried brown film, the exit door handle had a ring of grey grime around it on the paint surface (Covid appropriate cleanliness??), these oversights had to have accumulated over months. My husband and I thought the standard of care for this establishment might definitely be reflected in the cleanliness of the kitchen. UGH. The management, owners and franchise are responsible to keep their business clean and to resolve the subpar cleanliness and set protocol. Bad image for Vegan/Plant Based.
Read moreThe music volume was also an issue. Impossible to have a normal conversation inside or outside and even the bathroom had music at a volume so loud it was annoying. Bottom Line: Overall appearance was a huge let down considering it was a new trendy location and site. I was recently in Flagstaff AZ and we located this hippie dippy “hole in the wall” called the “Morning Glory Cafe”. It was a clean, tiny cafe. It had a tiny bathroom that was SPOTLESS. What a let down Plant Power Fast Food was in Redlands. Clean up your act…2 stars.
Updated from previous review on 2021-10-04
Pros: Total vegan menu, Yay for getting out there with Habit and McD’s, Would be thrilled but for filthy bathroom
Cons: Really filthy bathroom , Annoyingly loud volume of piped in music, ? If bathroom condition is reflected in kitchen

Surprisingly Good - Edit
We took an early flight to California and didn’t get breakfast. We found this place and was wowed at all the options. Had to do a double take and even ask “These are seriously all vegan?” We got the cheese and sausage croissant and a hashbrown. Loved that they used Just Egg and honestly I wouldn’t even have known the difference. The next day for lunch we came back and got the Iconic fries which are the bomb! Also got the Big Zac. It tasted very much like the real thing but we thought a little too much bread. It was dry with all 3 pieces so we took one piece off and it was a lot better. Loved it. Also the shakes are yummy. We enjoyed a Horchata shake as well. Definitely will be back when we are in town.

Amazing vegan breakfast options - Edit
I tried their chicken and waffle breakfast sandwich. It was a PERFECT combination of sweet from the waffle and savory from the “chicken”! Their drive thru is also a plus if you’re in a hurry.

VEGAN FAST FOOD - Edit
All that yummy fast food comfort but plant based with burgers/tenders/fries & more which is very easily customizable with their kiosks. My favorite is definitely their milkshakes! Employees are very kind and prices are pretty average for vegan food, love going here for a good treat.

Good vegan spot - Edit
I placed an order online for quick pickup. It was pretty seamless. I ordered the southwest avocado wrap, side of fries and kale slaw. All delish. It was about 20 bucks. It can get pretty pricey if you want to do a combo but it’s a great treat now and then. Oh their salads are pretty good as well
