cheeseburger 👍🏼, chik'n sandwich 👎🏼 - Edit
came here for a quick burger before a film showing at bryant park 🍔 i'd heard really good things about PLNT burger and was very impressed with the amount of burger options to choose from! i went for the plnt cheeseburger and the crispy chik'n sandwich. this is not to do with the food, but the service at the bryant park store was terrible!! the servers would not take any orders over the counter & we were genuinely waiting in there for 45 minutes for the 2 burgers, so it did not feel like fast food at all. the cheeseburger was insane, so tasty and felt just like i was eating a real burger. the cheese was great, had that proper american plastic cheese feel that burgers out here have - it was a 10/10 burger! the chik'n sandwich was a bit of a let down. some bits of it were cold and the burger overall just tasted slightly off to me? i'm not sure if this is a one off, but i wouldn't want to order the chik'n sandwich again. overall, an okay experience which was majorly saved by how delicious the cheeseburger was, hence the 4 🌟 rating.

Vegan by Bryant Park - Edit
Sad that this place seems to be closed now but I figured I'd share my experience.
Read morePLNT Burger came in clutch as one of a few plant-based options around Bryant Park. I was in town for an event and grabbing a vegan burger was very convenient.
I ordered their Fish Filet Burger which were two pieces of fried 'fish' tenders with tartar sauce on a soft bun. The burger was not bad overall. It was interesting eating a burger with two separate pieces for the main inside but I was glad the sauce wasn't too much where it was overpowering.
The Fried String Beans however left much to be desired. The batter fell off each string bean upon picking them up and it was incredibly oily. I've had much better at spots like The Habit so I'd stick with classic fries if you want a side.
I'll likely stick with a more classic burger and fries next time.

Okay, but overpriced and loud - Edit
Burger, Fries and Shakes Taste good, but do not stand out.
Read moreFor >10$ each it is as big as a big King, smaller than a big mac or whopper, but bigger than a usual Cheeseburger.
The Place is very loud as the Crew mixes two different music styles.
Pros: Variety, Comfort
Cons: Noise, Price

Great plant based burgers - Edit
I went here twice while staying on 42nd street, and had the crispy chikn burger with fries and an Oreo mint oatly shake and everything was delicious. You can order through the screen in the store if at the till. Everything came leery quickly too. I loved the sauces that came with the food. I’d definitely recommend. The burgers were mushroom rather then soy based so that was a bonus.

Just OK - Edit
I ordered the chilli cheese fries, some nuggets and an iced tea. I have a sweet tooth and the iced tea was not to my taste at all. The chilli on the fries didn't taste like chilli at all, it was quite burnt, the nuggets were a nice texture, but left a funny aftertaste in my mouth. The staff were very friendly however, but I wouldn't go again.

Burger - Edit
Ein weiterer veganer Burgerladen... Die Burger schmecken lecker und Pommes schmecken gut. Ist typisches Fast Food. Nachdem ich meine Bestellung später aufgemacht habe, habe ich festgestellt, dass ich normale Fritten statt Süßkartoffelpommes bekommen habe.

Great vegan burgers - Edit
It’s so refreshing to have a vegan fast food option. The food was really good. It felt like junk food but without the horrible feeling afterwards.

good burgers - Edit
The burgers are very good and the toppings are plentiful, if over priced.
Read moreI have ordered the mushroom bacon burger and patty melt. The patty melt was just ok. Not enough burger for the bread. The bacon mushroom burger was great but messy.
Pros: Nice selection, app works good , location
Cons: toppings expensive , no discount if you don’t want vegan cheese

Eh - Edit
It’s vegan fast food, at sit down restaurant prices. The burger and fries are good enough, but in a city with so many choices for vegans I’d go elsewhere.

Vegan fast food - Edit
This place is meant to be fast food veganized. They use beyond patty so burgers are okay. Desserts are pretty good though.

$1 for a slice of tomato? - Edit
My steakhouse burger and sweet potato fries were tasty enough for a cheat day. But for a plant-based restaurant to charge $1 just for a single slice of tomato is egregious, even with inflation. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Seating is very limited, but I managed to find a spot.
Read morePros: Steakhouse burger - nice toppings, Sweet potato fries are really chunky
Cons: Egregiously priced additions, Very limited seating

too slow for a fast food joint - Edit
I visited the place twice and waited for my order (2 different burgers both times) for >10 minutes. In my mind this defeats the purpose of what the place is supposed to be. The burgers are just ok - not too bad but nothing to write home about either. I don't think I'll come back: it's too slow for a fast food joint and too mediocre to wait for it

Want to come back when I’m hungrier - Edit
Conveniently located vegan spot! I got the kid’s meal of 5 chickn nuggets and sweet potato fries! It was really good but wish there were more nuggets and less fries. Also, there is some seating inside but not much.

Delicious Burgers Made Fast - Edit
The burgers at PLNT are so good and I never have to wait more than a few minutes. I only wish the location was bigger and nicer for dining in. Side perk is that when the weather is nice Bryant Park is just steps away.

Tasty vegan burgers - Edit
I got a combo meal with a cheeseburger and fries. The milkshakes also look really good too. Can't beat an all vegan place. They were also very good with allergies, so you can ask if anything has any allergens and the staff are well informed.

Delicious! - Edit
Ordered the cheeseburger, small herb fries with a side of maple mustard, and a can of coke. Had a $5 off welcome offer so it came to less than $12 for the whole meal - not bad at all. Food was so flavorful and delicious. Really enjoyed!
