Meta Burger - Edit
Meta burger, in my opinion, is probably one of the best if not the best vegan option available in boulder. I have personally tried everything on the menu, and aside from the salads which could use some work, everything is absolutely to die for. A few of my personal favorites are the hangover, which is like no other vegan "junk food" you have ever had the pleasure of trying. As well as The Classic, which is highly consistent with what you would imagine a vegan big mac to taste like. The fries are always fresh and have that nostalgic fast food taste but better, paired with the meta sauce for dipping, you can't go wrong. My last go to was the side of popcorn chicken, with the meta sauce for dipping as well. With that said, it's a highly creative and flavorful menu and I encourage you to try everything to see what you like best! They also have vegan milkshakes as well!!

Quick lunch option - Edit
Service here was really fast, I came in with my non vegan friend, she had the turkey sub and I had the big country with chicken. We both really enjoyed the food, and I was relieved my friend enjoyed it too as she is rarely eats vegan. Its probably not the healthiest place to eat, but I would return.

Great Burger - Edit
Was driving by and saw “all plant based”. Was going to get an impossible burger, glad I stopped. My new favorite sandwich joint in Boulder.

IDK I think it's kinda Mid - Edit
I don't think the burgers are that good. The Meta Patty doesn't have that much flavor and it's pricey. Like $18 for a double burger that's craaazy.

Every single thing from Meta Burger is amazing. The crispy meta chicken patty is my favorite, as well as the chopped cheese! The fries are always fresh and crispy. And the milkshakes are so good! Seriously my favorite restaurant!

Excellent - Edit
My absolute favorite vegan restaurant in the Denver/Boulder area. Amazing, burgers, sandwiches, and shakes. Often have great specials. Plus they work hard to pay their staff a liveable wage!

Delicious - Edit
I found out about this place very recently. On my first (and only, so far) visit, I had the hangover sandwich - absolutely delicious. I was shocked. I ate half right away and then the other half a day later - still really excellent. Not sure what’s in it but can’t wait to have another one!

I got a double uncle Phil. The patties were dry and tasteless. The Mac and cheese was okay.

Good Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Edit
With so many unfavorable reviews of the burger, I opted for the Deluxe Chicken Sandwich. I got it without cheese and had the Meta sauce on the side. The patty was thinner than most other places, but I liked that as it had an overall crispier texture. The sauce was good, but with a pretty mild flavor. The fries were good, but nothing to make them stand out. I also had the seasonal pumpkin shake which was a delight. Seems like a decent vegan joint to me, based on this one visit. Definitely worth a try. 🙂

Best Burgers in Town - Edit
They have the best fountain sodas, fries, milk shakes, and burgers in town. Prices are very competitive.
Read moreWing recipe needs a lot of adjustments. They should clean the tables better and more often. I've never sat down to a table here I felt was clean-makes me wonder about the back end hygiene standards of ownership. Sometimes food is not consistent, but almost always enjoyable. Only once was it not eatable: I tried the Texas Toast Special two months ago and it was top ten worse tasting sandwiches I've had in my life-whoever came up with it should not be allowed with in 100 feet from the experimental kitchen. This place put Native Foods out of business because it's much much better.

Solid 4 - Edit
When a delicious shake is in order, Meta can check that box. The food is otherwise just ok for me.
Read moreThere is something about Meta’s burger patties that’s unpleasing to my tender mouth buds. While I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, I’ve noticed the exact same sensation with the patties at Native Foods. My previous theory was that this had to do with an ingredient derived from grape seed oil, because the taste in question reminds me somewhat of… taffy, but how to even begin substantiating this theory is beyond my current capability.
So. Like I now do at NF, I typically stay on the chicken-sandwich side of things. And even these are pretty good, but nothing life-altering. For me the same really goes for Meta’s wings and fries (missing those waffle shaped taters of yesteryear).
Overall, I appreciate that this place is here and giving people great options. That’s plain to see from the other reviews. I love that they offer the rotating monthly menu item and seem so open to the community’s feedback. It’s definitely the best of the contemporary Meta companies. The Boulder location, formerly Garbanzos, never seems that busy when I go, though. I am rooting for them.

Great but very Pricey - Edit
I was impressed with the food here and simultaneously disappointed by the prices. Costs like $14 for a burger only with no deals with combined fries and drink. Maybe I’d come back if this was in my budget.

excellent fast food - Edit
It’s very refreshing to be able to go somewhere and be able to order anything off the menu. I got the Flatiron burger and a cookies n crème shake and both were delicious. I ordered cheese fries and mac and cheese but was too full after the burger and shake to eat it!

Great Vegan Junk Food - Edit
Meta nails vegan junk food. They have a great selection of burgers, chicken sandwiches, and shakes. It’s not the best vegan burger I’ve had but you can’t beat it for what it is

Vegan Fast Food Paradise - Edit
It was very pleasant to eat in a fast food restaurant and to be able to order everything from the menu without having to ask if it is vegan. The choice of burgers is quite large and there are also sides and shakes. The wait was short and the burger was freshly prepared and hot. They also have glutenfree buns.

Hit the spot! - Edit
We liked everything we tried which included hangover chicken sandwich which had a hash brown patty on it which somehow made it taste like a fried fish sandwich in a wonderful way. The flatiron cheese fries are topped with shaved Brussels sprouts and cheese sauce which was a great combo. Also had Uncle Phil burger, inferno chicken sandwich, cookies and cream shake and super nova burger. And we are on the patio. Yum!
