Realistic burger - Edit
Tried PLNT for the first time today. I had their double cheeseburger with a side of herbal fries. Felt so realistic it reminded me of a Big Mac. Vegan junk food done very well. Not a healthy meal by any means, but a real soul boost. Paid $22 with tax and tip for the burger and large fries, seems a little high to me, but it definitely filled me up. I would go back to try their “chicken” sandwich.

Using Meati - Edit
Inside of Whole Foods.
Read moreThe burgers are much, much improved now that they're using Meati burgers. They were always tasty, but went down heavy.

Too expensive - Edit
Yes, the food was fairly tasty but, for what you get, it's just too darn expensive. If money is no object (and, if you visited any time in the past few years, you were already at Whole Foods so...) then it's ok.
Read moreThe food comes out slowly. The portions are small for the high price.
Made to order? Sure. But still sloooow.
Cons: Cost, Service

Worth stopping by - Edit
Conveinent location, wide variety of options, good prices. The food is... Fine. I suspect the other PLNT Burgers that are independently run and not inside a whole foods are likely better.

Fast Food, but done pretty well - Edit
It’s fast food and it’s not crazy expensive. Burgers are done well and some are pretty original and creative. Fries with dipping sauce is my favorite though, soooooo tasty. And top it off with an oath shake, you have a real winner.

It's fine, but not majorly impressive - Edit
They don't make their own burgers, they are Beyond patties. Not bad, but the side dishes are unimpressive. I was excited for the onion blossoms but they had almost no taste at all.

Deliciousness! - Edit
Drove about 40 mins to get to it. They are inside of Whole Foods. During October Mon-Fri, 4-6 pm, they running a special on burgers, fries, and Oatasty shake. Good classic burger meal!

How have I not reviewed this? - Edit
This place is a dream come true inside Whole Foods because it's all the fast food stuff you want and then some! The catch is it's all veg!
Read moreVegans, you know the feeling when you are dreaming about soft serve ice cream and everyone can have it but you? Well, Plnt Burger is my dream come true for their amazing soft serve. Admittedly, I walked around Whole Foods with a soft serve cone and was shopping... pre-pandemic of course.
The menu is pretty extensive for a tiny operation like this, and whatever you choose will make you very happy. The fries and sweet potato fries, oh my, yes. The serving sizes are perfect, because if you're being honest, anything more is unhealthy. Their sizes are great, and the dipping sauces so good! I don't know which one is my fav! They also have a take on onion rings, yessss!
For the food - ok, you health nuts, get a salad. They have a couple choices now, in addition to the original small salad that can now be a large version. I like the Southwestern salad with avocado already in it and some tasty tortilla strips plus mushroom bacon and chipotle ranch dressing. It's not as large as I like my salads, but thankfully, I am not only eating salad when I'm here.
They have a chik'n sandwich based on mushrooms. Everyone's fav is their burgers - what started them on this amazing journey. They also have links from Beyond Meat, too, and what's great about any of them is two things: 1) super affordable and 2) can order without the bread. Yessss! Means I have more room for fries, a milkshake and more fries.
They have an app, so if you're local to the DMV area, get it. They have cool rewards.
Pros: All vegan, Softserve & milkshakes (oat), Bun free choices
Cons: Not one right behind my house, Not open 24 hours

The French fries are great they have a light fluffy texture with onion , I like the dipping sauces garlic and herb and bloomie sauce which is like a honey mustard . The burger is great , so is the chicken sandwich . We like the bloomies .

Food has that perfect fried texture , perfect treat to indulge on fast food.
Pros: Vegan fast food all the favorites , Great rewards system , Sauces are really good .

So good! - Edit
I randomly walked by this place, and am so glad i did! It was a very tasty burger. The Bloomies, which are like bite sized bloomin’ onions, were fantastic. I loved all the different sauces (which you don’t have to pay extra for). um, plus oat milk soft serve?? Absolutely fantastic. The staff was all very friendly and welcoming.
Read moreUpdate February 2020: They now serve Beyond Meat sausages, either with kraut or chili. Milkshakes have also been added to the menu, though they have an odd name like “Oatasty.”
Pros: staff is friendly, SOFT SERVE, convenient location

It's like a vegan version of your neighborhood burger shack - Edit
This local vegan burger joint is situated inside of Whole Foods in Silver Spring, small counter space for a line and order taking and seating shared with Genji sushi.
Read moreThey have a few different configurations of burgers that use Beyond Meat patties on a grill only used for vegan items. We both ordered the PLNT Mushroom Bacon Burger, and it was fantastic. It reminds me of a cross between Five Guys and an old school burger shack.
They even have milkshakes like those burger shacks/five guys, and the taste is a cross between a Wendy's frosty and a milkshake from a local burger joint. Also delicious.
I suggest that if you're vegan, and you're looking for a quick bite to eat before a show at The Fillmore - go check out PLNT, it's pretty cheap (for a vegan place) and their service is quick.
We used our mason jar to be as zero waste as possible, and used paper with the exception of the fry container (which are also great, herbs give it a good flavor and they're pretty crispy) we composted everything else.
Please PLNT, consider getting compostable cups and fry containers so that we can all reduce our waste!

Pros: Quick service and reasonable prices, Delicious flavor and decent variety of burgers, Milkshake and soft serve using Oatmilk!
Cons: A little bit salty (in a good way but still), Limited healthy options but it's a burger place, Plastic lining in cups and fries means waste :(

Best Burgers Ever - Edit
These are the best burgers I have ever had. They taste so fresh and juicy. The fries are so fresh and crispy. The ice cream is so creamy and sweet. This is the best place for vegan fast food. If you are craving some vegan junk food this place is a must have. It is a long drive for me, but I will definitely be back.
Read morePros: Amazing vegan burgers, Pretty good prices, Vegan ice cream

Burger Joint - Edit
Great for “transitioning” meals or if you are looking for a treat. Very flavorful fast food! The wait is usually a few minutes and you have a buzzer to let you know when your meal is ready. The salad is not as fresh or as satisfying as the burgers, so stick with the burgers. The bbq mushroom is my favorite very tasty!
Read morePros: Nostalgic fast food flavor

What an amazing experience! I've been craving soft serve ice cream for years! Finally a great, affordable option. It was so delicious and the staff was so very friendly. It was a bit of a drive for me so I hope they open in more whole foods. Excited to try the burgers next time!
