Inside Whole Foods - Edit
I’ve heard about PLNT Burger and was excited to try it. But I didn’t expect it to be inside a Whole Foods, so I walked 20 minutes across Alexandria just to eat a meh-rated spicy chicken sandwich at a loud and messy Whole Foods café. I’m always happy to support a fully vegan place, but this wasn’t a great experience and I wish I’d gone somewhere else for one of my only two nights in DC.

PLNT Burger Review - Edit
This was really good! My partner and I had the chik'n sandwich (he had spicy and I had the regular). Also, had the fried greens beens (forgot what it was called) but it was a good French Fry replacement. This sits in the back right corner of Whole Foods and although it has no place to sit, there is a bar at the front where you can grab a beer and eat your food.

Love it here! - Edit
I traveled up here for my birthday this past weekend from when I posted this review. The train station was really close to Whole Foods, so I walked here to get lunch! I initially order a plant based “chicken” sandwich, assuming that it was gluten-free, but an employee told me otherwise and was kind enough to tell me to order the burger instead. Let me tell you: that was probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Y’all should definitely consider a gluten-free “chicken” sandwich!

Fantastic burger, less than fantastic price - Edit
I don't know if the burger I had was in any way healthful, but, as everyone says, it was freaking delicious--the burger itself, the sauce, and even the lettuce and tomato were a little better than most. I ate it so fast I don't even really remember the bun. I won't be eating there a lot because it's pricy for a burger. That said, I certainly will be eating there from time to time! The other folks waiting for their orders were raving about the food too. So well done PLNT.

Tasty - Edit
Taste wise, I found the food 5/5. The burger and vegan cheese didn’t disappoint and the sweet potato fries were great. There’s also a lot of dipping sauces and the maple mustard is tasty. I found this place overpriced for the fast-casual atmosphere and the presentation (wrapped fast food style). If you’re looking for a fast food dupe that doesn’t even seem vegan, this is it.

Classic fast food - Edit
Surprisingly great food for a grocery store restaurant! I love the BBQ bacon burger - it is a beyond patty with mushrooms and BBQ sauce - and the lil’ dippers (nuggets).

Excellent, but pricy. - Edit
I got the double cheese burger, chilli cheese fries, and the banana milkshake. I thought the portions dissapointing visually, but the burger and shake get a solid 10/10 from me. Bit on the pricey side but I loved it.

Good in store food option - Edit
I liked that there was a place for all vegan food options in the Whole Foods prepared food area, it makes it very convenient to grab something when I'm getting my groceries. I got the Save the Bay Fillet, fries with chili, breaded green beans, and a mint cookies and creme shake. They were all very good and I would get them again.

Crispy Chikn Sandwich is phenomenal - Edit
Title says it all, especially with the somewhat recent upgrade to the Meati mushroom root burger patty. Taste and consistency are literally what I remember chicken being like. Crispy Herb Fries are also always bomb and tried their Oatasty milkshake for the first time today—really nice to have a reliable vegan fast food spot that blows McDonalds away any day. #veganuary

nice menu - Edit
I was pleased with my order. It was nice that I can sub the refined grain bun for a Swiss chard wrap. The chili was a bit too salty, but overall, good food.

Delicious burgers! - Edit
We tried the spicy chick'n sandwich, steakhouse burger, herb fries, garden herb aioli, and spicy aioli. The burgers were good, the chick'n one reminded me of a CFA spicy deluxe. The fries were ultra crispy and seasoned well. The spicy aioli was the favorite tho the herb was good too. They use beyond meat, follow your heart cheese, and follow your heart mayo.

This location is inside of Whole Foods. I was impressed by how good everything is. Their chili is slightly sweet, burgers are great & they have classic style soft serve.

Too expensive for the quality. - Edit
They used to offer a healthy cashew quinoa salad but now it's just unhealthy options and it's more processed. No more oyster mushroom options.

The end of dry V burgers - Edit
Love this place! The era of dry veggie burgers is ooooover. Great spot for burgers, chicken nuggets, soft serve, and more. All plant based. And I love the sustainability emphasis and the prices are very reasonable.

Tasty but pricey - Edit
Very good food but it is too pricey for what little food you get. E.g. "extra" pickles means one more pickle slice for $1. You only get 2 pickle slices... Worth it in a pinch but not my go to.

It was good - Edit
I'd do 3 1/2 stars if I could just because it was better than 'fair' but 'very good' is a bit much for this vegan fast food spot inside a Whole Foods. That said it did exceed expectations based on previous reviews here. My omnivore partner and I each got the Save the Bay fish fillet sandwich and shared a chili bowl. We both really liked our sandwiches, it did taste like what you'd get from a fast food place, so if that's what you're craving it should hit the spot. They didn't use too much tartar sauce- I would've liked a bit more personally but I lean 'saucier' than most people I know! I forgot to take a pic of the chili bowl but it was pretty darn satisfying as a shared side. It was a tad on the sweet side which surprised me but we liked the flavor and consistency with the Beyond meat, it was topped with just a bit of shredded cheddar cheese and small dollop of sour cream. Not sure I'd make a point of eating at a PLNT Burger again but I sure do appreciate that a fully vegan restaurant is there in a supermarket.

Beyond meat place - Edit
It’s good If you like brand name burgers, such as chick’n and beyond. However, not much variety past that.
Read moreNo signature veggie burgers is a huge downside for me as a full long time vegan who doesn’t really like fake meat.
I suggest trying the herb fries, they were amazing, good dipping options too.
Pros: Good flavors, Fast and efficient, Convenient
Cons: Not much variety, No veggie burgers, A lot of fat

Beyond burger at a vegan restaurant - Edit
I had the spicy chikn sandwich which was tasty. The sweet potato fries were greasy but good. The quality of food was ok. The thing I HATE is going to an all vegan restaurant and then their burger patty is Beyond or Impossible. It’s so disappointing. Also obviously not great ambiance to eat dinner at the Whole Foods cafe. Didn’t love the experience.
