Using Meati

Inside of Whole Foods.

The burgers are much, much improved now that they're using Meati burgers. They were always tasty, but went down heavy.

Too expensive

Yes, the food was fairly tasty but, for what you get, it's just too darn expensive. If money is no object (and, if you visited any time in the past few years, you were already at Whole Foods so...) then it's ok.

The food comes out slowly. The portions are small for the high price.

Made to order? Sure. But still sloooow.

Cons: Cost, Service

Definitely satisfies a craving

This place is always super reliable and i enjoy it immensely every time. Chick’n sandwiches and burgers are both super good as well as the fries and their sauces

Worth stopping by

Conveinent location, wide variety of options, good prices. The food is... Fine. I suspect the other PLNT Burgers that are independently run and not inside a whole foods are likely better.

It's nice to have in Downtown Silver Spring, I will visit again.

Really good burger

The burger from here was amazing and I love the vibe of PLNT Burger. The prices weren’t bad.

Vegan burgers made by Beyond Meats. So you know how good that is

I’m glad it’s here to compete with other fast food choices

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Processed

Fast Food, but done pretty well

It’s fast food and it’s not crazy expensive. Burgers are done well and some are pretty original and creative. Fries with dipping sauce is my favorite though, soooooo tasty. And top it off with an oath shake, you have a real winner.

It's fine, but not majorly impressive

They don't make their own burgers, they are Beyond patties. Not bad, but the side dishes are unimpressive. I was excited for the onion blossoms but they had almost no taste at all.

Best junk food

Got the cheeseburger and soft serve. Both were amazing, and I can’t wait to go back!

Deliciousness!

Drove about 40 mins to get to it. They are inside of Whole Foods. During October Mon-Fri, 4-6 pm, they running a special on burgers, fries, and Oatasty shake. Good classic burger meal!

How have I not reviewed this?

This place is a dream come true inside Whole Foods because it's all the fast food stuff you want and then some! The catch is it's all veg!

Vegans, you know the feeling when you are dreaming about soft serve ice cream and everyone can have it but you? Well, Plnt Burger is my dream come true for their amazing soft serve. Admittedly, I walked around Whole Foods with a soft serve cone and was shopping... pre-pandemic of course.

The menu is pretty extensive for a tiny operation like this, and whatever you choose will make you very happy. The fries and sweet potato fries, oh my, yes. The serving sizes are perfect, because if you're being honest, anything more is unhealthy. Their sizes are great, and the dipping sauces so good! I don't know which one is my fav! They also have a take on onion rings, yessss!

For the food - ok, you health nuts, get a salad. They have a couple choices now, in addition to the original small salad that can now be a large version. I like the Southwestern salad with avocado already in it and some tasty tortilla strips plus mushroom bacon and chipotle ranch dressing. It's not as large as I like my salads, but thankfully, I am not only eating salad when I'm here.

They have a chik'n sandwich based on mushrooms. Everyone's fav is their burgers - what started them on this amazing journey. They also have links from Beyond Meat, too, and what's great about any of them is two things: 1) super affordable and 2) can order without the bread. Yessss! Means I have more room for fries, a milkshake and more fries.

They have an app, so if you're local to the DMV area, get it. They have cool rewards.

Pros: All vegan, Softserve & milkshakes (oat), Bun free choices

Cons: Not one right behind my house, Not open 24 hours

Vegan fast food

I really like this place , it’s quick , clean, everyone is really nice. The French fries are great they have a light fluffy texture with onion , I like the dipping sauces garlic and herb and bloomie sauce which is like a honey mustard . The burger is great , so is the chicken sandwich . We like the bloomies .

Didn’t love the soda, I’ll try a new flavor next time . Want to try the soft serve too .

Food has that perfect fried texture , perfect treat to indulge on fast food.

Pros: Vegan fast food all the favorites , Great rewards system , Sauces are really good .

Cons: More locations

All vegan burger joint.

PLNt Burger is my go to restaurant when I’m in the mood for a juicy burger and fries. Food is tasty, Service is awesome and the new Funguy Sandwich is amazing... think fried chicken sandwich except the meat substitute is a fried to perfection oyster mushroom.

Pros: All vegan, Food is seasoned well , Friendly staff

Cons: Located inside of Wholefoods , Parking , Shared seating with other restaurant patrons

So good!

I randomly walked by this place, and am so glad i did! It was a very tasty burger. The Bloomies, which are like bite sized bloomin’ onions, were fantastic. I loved all the different sauces (which you don’t have to pay extra for). um, plus oat milk soft serve?? Absolutely fantastic. The staff was all very friendly and welcoming.

Update February 2020: They now serve Beyond Meat sausages, either with kraut or chili. Milkshakes have also been added to the menu, though they have an odd name like “Oatasty.”

Pros: staff is friendly, SOFT SERVE, convenient location

Yumm

Delicious!! A small menu to please anyone makes it easy to order and they were friendly and quick. Didn’t get the chance to get dessert but will definitely be back for soft serve oat milk ice cream! I got the bacon bbq burger and the onion things and couldn’t speak more highly

Pros: Only vegan options easy to order, Small easy menu , Very well priced

It's like a vegan version of your neighborhood burger shack

This local vegan burger joint is situated inside of Whole Foods in Silver Spring, small counter space for a line and order taking and seating shared with Genji sushi.

They have a few different configurations of burgers that use Beyond Meat patties on a grill only used for vegan items. We both ordered the PLNT Mushroom Bacon Burger, and it was fantastic. It reminds me of a cross between Five Guys and an old school burger shack.

They even have milkshakes like those burger shacks/five guys, and the taste is a cross between a Wendy's frosty and a milkshake from a local burger joint. Also delicious.

I suggest that if you're vegan, and you're looking for a quick bite to eat before a show at The Fillmore - go check out PLNT, it's pretty cheap (for a vegan place) and their service is quick.

We used our mason jar to be as zero waste as possible, and used paper with the exception of the fry container (which are also great, herbs give it a good flavor and they're pretty crispy) we composted everything else.

Please PLNT, consider getting compostable cups and fry containers so that we can all reduce our waste!

Updated from previous review on 2019-10-27

Pros: Quick service and reasonable prices, Delicious flavor and decent variety of burgers, Milkshake and soft serve using Oatmilk!

Cons: A little bit salty (in a good way but still), Limited healthy options but it's a burger place, Plastic lining in cups and fries means waste :(

Best Burgers Ever

These are the best burgers I have ever had. They taste so fresh and juicy. The fries are so fresh and crispy. The ice cream is so creamy and sweet. This is the best place for vegan fast food. If you are craving some vegan junk food this place is a must have. It is a long drive for me, but I will definitely be back.

Pros: Amazing vegan burgers, Pretty good prices, Vegan ice cream

Burger Joint

Great for “transitioning” meals or if you are looking for a treat. Very flavorful fast food! The wait is usually a few minutes and you have a buzzer to let you know when your meal is ready. The salad is not as fresh or as satisfying as the burgers, so stick with the burgers. The bbq mushroom is my favorite very tasty!

Pros: Nostalgic fast food flavor

First soft serve ice cream in years and it was amazing

What an amazing experience! I've been craving soft serve ice cream for years! Finally a great, affordable option. It was so delicious and the staff was so very friendly. It was a bit of a drive for me so I hope they open in more whole foods. Excited to try the burgers next time!

Pros: SOFT SERVE, All vegan , Friendly staff

Cons: No ice cream cones

Fantastic Food

I ordered the mushroom bacon burger, fries and some bloomies. The burger was amazing, the fries perfectly seasoned. The Bloomies are not my thing but since I’d never had it (why not). The oatmilk soft serve had a perfect consistency. They even gave the kids seed packets with their “kids meal”.

Pros: Delicious burgers , Oatmilk soft serve , Seed packets instead of toys in a kids meal

Cons: Not a fan of Bloomies
