Pretty tasty - Edit
I stopped here a couple months ago for dinner. Very cool zombie theme and good vegan options. I got this chili which was delicious. I also had the Negan burger and it was so good!

Chill spot. Easy pickup - Edit
Nightmare parking to run in and grab food but whatever. The food was tasty and I wouldn’t mind going back again.

Fun place with a few options - Edit
I got the Negan as-is with the veggie nut patty, and it was good. The taste and texture are unique and not quite what I was expecting. If you want a meaty

want something unique, go with this. It was
somewhere between a veggie burger and falafel.
You can sub the ZB Nut Patty, Beyond Meat
burger, or portobello in any burger. The fried Brussel sprouts were tasty, but be sure to ask for vegan sauces. The atmosphere is fun, and I enjoyed the newspapers.

probably shared grill but good - Edit
Could be great if they didn't share the grill (assumed by taste and sore throat). Because I feel worse after eating, I would say 1 star but I was desperate, it tasted good, was fast, and the service was good. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Homemade veg patty!! - Edit
I was so grateful to stumble into this joint on a road trip through the Midwest. They have beyond burgers and their own nut-based patty that was super delicious. The staff was very friendly and the themed decor is very fun. Plus multiple vegan apps and sides. I’d recommend this spot to anyone! #Veganuary

Vegan options - Edit
Zombie Burgers has few vegan options but they are pretty book. Wonderful staff and fun environment. Can't want until they have vegan shakes available hopefully soon.

Worst burger I’ve had - Edit
I got the negan .The menu said it used beyond meat patties but it seemed like some kind of flavorless black bean burger. Super disappointed

So many options - Edit
This place is awesome! Such a unique and fun vibe. Food is delicious and affordable. Lots of vegan/vegetarian options. They are also clearly labeled on the menu. The food itself is DELICIOUS. They do delivery through Grubhub too. I'm gonna be getting fat now.

Vegan Zombie Friendly - Edit
There was actually more than one vegan option. There were 2 menu items listed fully vegan. But any of their burgers could be customized to suit your vegan/vegetarian tastes, with multiple “alternative” burger patties: Grilled Portobello, Beyond Meat Burger Patty, Nilbog Veggie Nut Patty, ZB Veggie Nut Patty. The atmosphere was fun, entertaining & unique with friendly staff. Everything there was Zombie themed. Quite a different experience that I wish we had back home in Texas.
Read morePros: Multiple patty options, Vegan bun, Vegan cheese and sauces
Cons: None located in my home state lol

Negan - Edit
I thought the Negan had a really weird taste and texture. Almost kind of mushy. I liked the toppings and sauce that were on it though.

Didn't enjoy the vegan patty - Edit
I loved this restaurant, atmosphere, and the fries!!! I wasn't a fan of the Negan (and neither were the other two friends I was with). It tasted like almost like dates/chocolate which I didn't think was a good taste for a burger. Anyway, if you're interested in trying it I don't want to sway you away but it was just not what I expected. My friends couldn't even finish their burgers.

The Negan is a winner! - Edit
I was missing this place from my pre-vegan days and was thrilled when they added The Negan to the menu! The patty is super delicious and the chipotle aioli they put on top is just spicy enough. Love to be able to enjoy this Des Moines favorite!
Read morePros: Cool atmosphere, Delicious food, Good location
Cons: Could use more vegan options, No vegan shakes or desserts
