Great vegan burgers

This is one of the only places in campus that actually has vegan options. They have 4 burger options including a new vegan chicken sandwich that is now my favorite!

Good black bean burger

I like Root 217 for their cheap and tasty black bean burger. It’s healthy and filling, and while I love faux meat burgers, sometimes I miss the simplicity of a black bean burger.

Pros: Black bean burger, Cheap, Healthy

Cons: Limited vegan options, Needs more condiments

Best vegan option on campus

The vegan burger (plus the combo fries and drink) is amazing. Probably the best clearly-labelled vegan burger you’re going to get in the area, since it has a good patty, a good bun, and a delicious thousand island sauce, and the vegan options in IV are lacking… $10 for a vegan burger, fries, and drink is better than almost any place I’ve been to. Fast service, but you eat in a cafeteria-like setting. Haven’t tried the black bean or hummus burger, but I’m sure they’re good too. I come here every week as a lunch between my classes.

Pros: Clearly-labelled vegan options, Cheap, Saucy burgers
