A veggie (non beyond/impossible) burger? In Texas? It’s good? Nice!

Title says it all— options obviously limited in a place like Dallas, so this homemade, well made veggie patty that’s vegan by default and comes with fun toppings is a treat.

Solid burger option

They have the “Vegabond,” a fully vegan burger option on the menu. The patty was fully loaded with quinoa, rice, and beans. Just wish it had some cheeze. The burger came out in just a few minutes.

One great vegan burger in unexpected Texas location

Pleasantly surprised to find a fantastic vegan burger option here in this TX airport. Not a Beyond Burger but rather a great homemade brown rice-quinoa-chickpea concoction with avocado and sriracha on a whole wheat bun. Delicious and fast friendly service. Had mine in under 5 minutes at 330pm on a Friday. Nice seating and atmosphere. #Veganuary

Good burger

I had a 1 hour layover at DFW, and this place was close enough to my Gate. They sell all sorts of meat burgers but had one clearly vegan named item.

The wait time was about 15 minutes, something to keep in mind while at an Airport. The staff was friendly and the seating area had a nice aesthetic.

That being said, I took mine to go. The burger had many colors and different flavors. They worked really well together.

One of the better airport meals I’ve had recently

Great option for a vegan airport meal. Not overly expensive, a pretty good size, and an impressively tasty patty for a non-veg place that seemingly makes the patty themselves (not just Beyond or Impossible or similar). Hit the spot well on my layover, very pleased this was here

Vegabond for a full meal

The Vegabond burger at Twisted Root was a much needed refuel during a long day of flying. The sriracha gave it a nice kick and the avocado provided a creamy cooling sensation. As someone already mentioned, I highly recommend getting a fork if you want to get every bite; it’s a messy burger. The plant based patty had a soft crumbly texture, but I wouldn’t call it mushy. It might be a problem for some, but it didn’t bother me. The fresh and pickled veg on top was refreshing after coming back from eating horribly on vacation. If you order the combo you get fries. Since my boyfriend also got a burger; we split a side of fries instead, and it was plenty for both of us.
I really don’t remember what I paid but I’m sure it was reasonable for airport food. I would likely order this item again if I came across this restaurant outside an airport.
If you’ve come this far, I want to warn you that the high fiber content of this dish after a week of vacation meals is cause for concern, 💨, if you are scheduled to flight in the next few hours. You might want to only get this meal if you have a long delay.

Pros: Filled me up, Whole food plant based option, Fresh and pickled veggies

Cons: Airport food prices, Soft crumbly patty=get a fork, High fiber =possible in flight gas

Gets the job done

The burger patty is good, but nothing special. Great to have an option in terminal A for a burger.

Pros: It's vegan

Cons: Expensive , Serves meat

Best vegan option at DFW by a long shot

Service is quick if you are in a rush!

Menu has a labeled vegan veggie burger that is very filling. Had a crispy outside but started to fall apart a little bit. You can tell it was made fresh and not frozen before being cooked. Fries were decent but nothing special.

Pros: Labeled vegan option, Fresh and filling veggie burger, Quick service

Cons: Burger falls apart

Fine

Probably your best bet for a vegan option here. The burger was fine, the fries were not great.

Pro tip

If you read the reviews AFTER sitting down here to eat and the burger doesn’t do it for you I suggest ordering the Mexican Chopped Salad, no cheese and add the vegan patty as protein. The huge patty is quite tasty but I would not have enjoyed it as a burger patty as it easily crumbles apart . Mixed into the surprisingly fresh salad the patty was delish.

Updated from previous review on 2023-10-06

Pros: The bar, The patty, The salad

Cons: Fast food system if you aren’t at the bar , Cheap utensils

Slow and bland

Order took a really long time and the burger has hardly any flavor. It is dry and falls apart. So bummed I spent $15 on something I do not even want to eat.

Tasty Burger

Really tasty burger. Better than the Beyond and Impossible burgers. It does crumble easily but nothing that a fork can’t help.

Pros: Vegan option at DFW, Good taste

Cons: Few vegan options

Edible is the optimal word

Food was bad honestly only flavor I got was from the Sriracha. It fell apart immediately and they say online they have gluten free options meaning eat it without a bun not that they actually have an option. Also it's 2022 a commercial fast food style restaurant should accept contactless payments.

Pros: Nothing save your money

Cons: "Gluten free" option is just no bun, Patty falls apart and is flavorless, No Contactless payments

Falls Apart

The burger literally falls apart as you try to eat it, it was mushy and was not very good in my opinion. Fries that it came with were super bland too with absolutely no salt on them or any seasoning.

The burger was pretty good

They clearly did something more than the standard black bean or impossible burger that a lot of places do, and the extra effort did show. It had a fun texture, and the taste was pretty good. It definitely fell apart pretty quickly. I normally wouldn’t pick this, but it was a decent option by my gate.

Cons: Not many options , Not actually sure if fries are vegan

Beggars can’t be choosers

This will likely never be your favorite vegan food. It’s 2021 and it’s a quinoa burger with some black beans. It’s way too crumbly, but tastes decent. With that said, i’m glad the option is here.

Pros: It’s an option in a barren wasteland.

Cons: Falls apart easily.

Terminal A vegan options

Customer service good. I dont like the impossible burger flavor so I preferred this but it does fall apart. I would rather them serve it open face bun vs true burger.

Pros: Taste decent , More vegetable focus

Cons: Falls apart

Burger falls apart but roll with it

Like many say, the burger falls apart. Just accept it and enjoy your bowl with bread. Add all the pickles you want and slap on some barbecue sauce. It's all good.

Pros: Vegan option in TX airport, Pickles, BBQ sauce

Cons: Yes, the burger falls apart

Patty really does immediately fall apart

Patty really does fall apart immediately. Patty is loose amalgam of rice, beans, & breading. The burger flavor is okay. These places should just use impossible burgers if they're not going to try any harder.

Pros: Okay flavor

Cons: Burger falls apart
