Fast food experience

Vegan fast food chain in the Columbia Whole Foods. Seems kinda overpriced for the “fast food” experience, but if you sign up on their website you get a free welcome burger, so first trip will be cheaper lol. Lots of burger choices and cutomize-ability. I got a double cheeseburger and a crème brûlée milkshake. In retrospect I should’ve gotten a more interesting burger, but the milkshake was delicious and had a good consistency. Bf got a veggie burger on a chard leaf wrap, which is probably the healthiest option and was very flavorful. And green bean fries, which were a fun side option.

Pros: Quick and easy , Shop at Whole Foods while you wait, Nice staff

Cons: Expensive

Best vegan fast food

This place is so good that we drive 45 minutes to get it! My favorite is the nuggets, but I love the save the bay fillet and the actual veggies burger, too. Delicious fries! Their shakes are truly the best vegan shakes!

Pros: Veganized classics , Yummy ice cream

Cons: Wish there was a Baltimore location!!

Great vegan fast food

If you’re craving some vegan fast food this is the place to go. I’ve been really liking the crispy chicken sandwich recently, but the shakes are probably some of the best ice cream I’ve had.

Always the best burgers

Their burgers are so tasty. During my last visit I tried their vegan crab cake. One of the best vegan crabcakes I’ve had. I also love their fried green beans and chili cheese fries. If you have room for dessert, I highly recommend their soft serve.

Fast and Tasty!

I love that this location is within the WholeFoods. I can place an order online from the parking lot, go in to get some groceries and nab my lunch on the way out. They told me it would be a 15 min wait on the app, but I was in and out of there in less time than that.

Pros: They use products (Gardein) from a company I like, Location is fantastic for eating at adjacent park, Friendly service

The Best Place for Vegan Burgers!

I love PLNT and this location is the best one I have visited! The staff here is always friendly and helpful and the food is excellent. I highly recommend ordering ahead (15 minutes or so) in their app to avoid waiting. They make everything to order so it takes a little time. Some favorites in my family are the swirl shake, crispy herb fries, and cheeseburgers.

Pros: All vegan!, Consistently great food, Easy to order in app

Vegan eating in Columbia, Maryland

I recently went to the Alpaca Festival at the Howard County Fairgrounds and since I have a very sensitive allergy, I MUST eat at Vegan only restaurants when I go away to steer clear of cross contamination. PLNT Burger was really nice to find so close by. They use beyond burgers and not Impossible burgers so that is a big plus! (The Impossible burgers makes me ill...🤢) They have sweet potato fries and milkshakes. The ladies that work there are very nice. It's located inside the Whole Foods, so it's convenient with a big parking lot. 😀
I give it 🥕🥕🥕🥕

Pros: They use Beyond Burgers, They have ice cream, Inside Whole Foods

Cons: Small menu, Pricey

Not for me

If you’re a fan of beyond meat burgers, go for it! The fries and milkshake that I had was very yummy.

Fills that fast food/burger itch!

This is a good replacement when you're craving some fast food/diner-style food. The burger is simply delectable, and the mushroom bacon was great.

Pros: Tasty flavors, good value, Friendly employees , Patio seating in the back

Cons: Not exactly the healthiest

Heck yeah it does!! Haha, it’s nostalgic greasy goodness with ‘healthier’ ingredients.

Mouth Watering Fast Food Nostalgia

Their BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger practically melts in my mouth, reminding me of my childhood days eating greasy burgers with my friends. Now I get to do that as an Adult, Guilt free, while enjoying Organic Soda’s plus Soft Serve Ice Cream too.

Pros: Fully Vegan, Nostalgic Fast Food Taste, Without the Fast Food Ingredients

Cons: Pricy, Definitely not a fast food budget

Everything is Amazing

Friday night DoorDash dinner order. I got Swiss chard wrapped mushroom burger, nuggets, and fries. My family ordered burgers on buns with fries. It all tasted amazing, and even the meat eaters in my family liked it. Really enjoyed the variety of dipping sauces. On point!

Excellent taste

PLNT Burger offers what is probably my favorite burger ever. Get it with cheese! They also come up with a small variety of uniquely flavored burgers now and then. I have yet to try the chicken fungi myself, but a friend of mine ordered it and it smelled delicious.
