| - I went to Loungeburger for the first time the other evening. I'd heard they had a few vegetarian choices, and I'm always excited to find a vegetarian meal that comes with fries on the side (newsflash: not all vegetarians are health freaks!).
I ordered the veggie burger, which the online menu describes as "freshly grated grilled vegetables, hand formed and served with roasted red pepper aioli on a chipotle cheddar bun". This is NOT the current description on the in-store menu, nor does it, or the in-store menu, accurately reflect what I was served. Basically, someone sliced some vegetables into long, thin strips on a mandolin, roasted them, tossed them with balsamic glaze, topped them with feta and put them on a whole-wheat bun (which also had oddly-crunchy lettuce, plus non-roasted tomatoes and mayo). I took the crunchy stuff off the bun and enjoyed the grilled vegetable sandwich, despite my disappointment that it wasn't actually a "veggie burger". I ordered the fries that were described as "spicy curly" (or something) and I'm pretty sure they were McCains SuperFries, but again, as a vegetarian it was still a nice treat.
There were a few mix-ups with other meals at our table (not mine, luckily), and I definitely felt our server could have used a bit more training in both the menu and appropriate social skills, but I actually suspect I'll go back to Loungeburger in the future as it seems like a decent place to grab a casual bite when your group has diverse tastes.
