Intense veggie cookery w/ creative sandwiches, sides & desserts. Not just for vegetarians!
Superiority Burger, helmed by ex-punk-rock drummer Brooks Headley, offers an intense vegetable cookery experience that appeals even to avowed non-vegetarians, earning it widespread acclaim.
Superiority Burger, founded by ex-punk-rock drummer Brooks Headley, has transformed from a small counter-service spot into a larger, vibrant vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurant. It's celebrated for its 'intense vegetable cookery,' creating delicious and satisfying dishes that appeal to everyone, not just vegetarians. The menu boasts creative options beyond their famed burger, including innovative sandwiches, seasonal sides, and exceptional desserts.
This vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurant is lauded for its creative approach to vegetables, with highlights including the namesake veggie burger, the 'Yuba Verde' sandwich, and 'TFT' sandwich. Customers also rave about the exceptional desserts, gelato, sorbet, and seasonal sides. However, some find the burgers to be just 'okay' and the overall pricing to be high for the portion sizes.
"Highly recommended dishes include the 'Yuba Verde' sandwich, the 'TFT' sandwich, the collard greens sandwich, and all desserts, gelato, and sorbet. The fries are also frequently praised."
Customers praise the inventive vegetarian dishes and desserts, but many note significant price increases and smaller portions since the restaurant moved to a larger space, leading to mixed feelings about value.
Important Note
Some customers find the restaurant to be overpriced and the portion sizes small, especially compared to its previous iteration. There are also mentions of a peanut allergy risk with the fries for those with severe allergies.
