Excellent vegan burgers - Edit
100% vegan, burger and fried chicken sandwiches are all pretty great. Friendly folks too, gave us a free to-go order that was mistakenly placed instead of throwing it out. In a fairly random strip mall but totally worth the trip!

SO SO SO GOOD - Edit
My bf and I are visiting Colorado from VA for a fun bucket list trip! I’ve been vegan 4 years and he is not. Anyways we wanted to try different restaurants and we went here based off of a recommendation and WOW! We both loved it! I don’t understand how some people on happy cow can say it’s “eh”…anyways super nice friendly staff and great food! We got the bbq ranch burger and the cowboy chicken sandwich! I ended up trying their mint shake at the end too and it was so yummy!

Not Worth It - Edit
I was excited to try Mets and we finally did and we’re super disappointed.
Read moreI was bummed that the chicken options weren’t gluten free, but decided on their jalapeño burger. The habanero jam was delish and there were a bunch of fresh jalapeños. The gf bun was also one of the best I’ve tried.
After that it went downhill. The cheese was awful, my mouth was not happy at all. The biggest disappointment was the actual patty. Give me a Beyond or impossible any day. It lacked flavor and seasoning, was super flat and just incredibly boring.
The sweet potato fries weren’t anything to write home about.
My gf ordered the classic and she was so turned off by the patty she didn’t finish it.
For the price tag, the food should have been out of this world.
It’s a definite thumbs down.
Cons: Too expensive, Burger Patty lacked flavor, Yucky cheese

Great Fast Food - Edit
When compared to its nonvegan equivalents, Meta Burger does a great job for what it’s going for. It’s perfect for when you have that fast food craving.

Creative burgers, delicious shakes - Edit
I thoroughly enjoyed the shake and burger I had! I tried the Flatiron, which had a delicious sauce and Brussels sprouts. You do not normally have Brussels sprouts on burgers and it was a great edition. I ordered to go after a flight and it was made quickly and staff were nice.

Really enjoyed stopping by this place for a meal. Great selection of vegan grub that tends to not be options in majority of locations we travel.

There are better vegan junk food options in Denver - Edit
1) despite it being junk food, it doesn’t taste that great
Read more2) not a lot of options
3) it’s all junk food
4) interior is depressing and outdated with fluorescent lights, carpeting

I would recommend going again and trying the opposite of what you ordered, I first went and had the Flat Iron Burger w/ fries and wasn’t crazy about it, after returning again and ordering the Sweet Chipotle Chicken & sweet potato fries I was pleasantly blown away. Be sure to get their “fry sauce” on the side. It’s incredible

Just OK - Edit
I've been going to Meta Burger since they opened and I would say they're just OK. This is because a lot of their items are not very flavorful. The Buffalo chicken sandwich is the only chicken sandwich with any flavor. It is a great sandwich, but that's really because Buffalo sauce is delicious. The burgers are just OK. They used to have an amazing candy bar milkshake but it's no longer on the menu. The shakes are expensive. I don't really visit anymore unless I specifically want a Buffalo chicken sandwich

Great fastfood - Edit
They make their own food. There own patty was a few different styles. There shakes are delicious. And there is in the top 15% across the country (for me). More of a take-out then eat in though possible to eat in.

Meta is For Real - Edit
Everything about this Flatiron Burger is spot on. Also love the meta sauce with fries. The nuggets are flaky and peppery.

Couldn't be better - Edit
Walking into meta burger is walking into the future. This hip joint is just a few minutes from downtown and has everything: burgers, fries, chick'n sammies, salads, and shakes. The service is five starts and the soundtrack is killer. Can't wait to go back.

Nothing fancy, just amazing. Sweet potato fries seasoned perfectly, two burgers with their delicious sauce and melted cheese, and a cookies and cream shake. They brought us free mac and cheese! Agree with the other reviews- could have ordered everything on the menu.

Favorite burger spot - Edit
Meta burger has absolutely awesome food, they just sometimes forget to put some of your items in the bag when you order to go. I’ve had that happen three times but it will not stop me from going in and eating. Everyone is super nice and they’ve always tried to fix any issues I’ve had.

All Vegan Yums! - Edit
It was love at first bite a few years back. I love Brussels sprouts, and I LOVE the Flatiron Burger even more! I’ve tried a handful of dishes — I used to go bananas over the Meta Bites before the menu change, the Chik’n Tendies were so good when they had them, and I have to mention the Betterfinger shake 🤤 — but I keep going back to the Flatiron. It’s even good as leftovers, which I always have because I order WAY too much every time! How does a vegan choose, after all?!?!? Generous portions, too. Like the burger actually FITS the bun! On my last trip (I live in Fort Collins and try to go as often as possible), I got the Flatiron burger along with a side Caesar salad and an order of mozz sticks to split with my partner. Delish! He got the Meta Melt and swapped the cheese it comes with for Gouda along with a large order of sweet potato waffle fries. Also delish, but the melt and the burger were the winners. Mozz sticks could’ve used a bit more tapioca starch for added stretch, and the croutons on the salad were too big (I will admit that I prefer Tasty Harmony’s Caesar salad, but only alongside a Ricky Bobby). That said, Meta Burger still deserves all five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
