The only good thing is that most of those places have some sort of black bean or veggie burger.
I've tried a lot of these veggie burgers and tbh at least where I'm from most of the time they kinda suck. I've had a few really really good ones but mostly they tasted mid.
I agree on most of them being kinda mediocre but at least I can always get something when my friends are in the mood for burgers.
It's the most hit or miss thing I can get as a vegan. It's either a really great in-house, well seasoned patty. Or just a morning star frozen thing with grease as it's only seasoning.
And even then, you need to ask if it contains egg.
It can be hit and miss from my experience as well. We have a bar and grill place that has a black bean burger and the fucking patty is 1/2 lb and an inch thick. The burger tastes good but it's way too much bean and it ends up being a chore to eat. We have a fast food place that has a black bean burger that is pretty thin but you get a lot of veggies on it and it is all pretty balanced. We have a local hipstery joint similar to the meme posted that has amazing food all around but they have a beyond burger and a black bean burger and it's actually nice to have that option but they also always have like 3 other vegan options.
Since the rise of Impossible/Beyond those are the only veggie burgers I can stand. If I want beans then I'll order beans, ya know?
