| - So glad I finally got to visit Bragg's - it's close to work AND it's delicious. Such a fan, and I will be back!
Went with a bunch of coworkers, all omnivores (I'm the only veg), and we all (mostly) ordered something different. A rundown:
2 Chickpea burgers with rosemary potatoes: verdict? Delicious! The burger wasn't too dry OR too mushy, which is a real compliment. So many times I've had places try to make their burgers moist, which usually results in a mushy, unappetizing pile. Not Bragg's! They know how to make a solid chickpea burger.
Also, chickpea burger?! So clever, and so much better than the standard black bean burgers I'm used to ordering. Score!
I only wish I had more rosemary potatoes, but that's just me being greedy. They were SO good - on the crunchy side, but I like crunchy potatoes!
One person ordered the ELT (eggplant, lettuce and tomato), and she really liked it. We all tried a side of the eggplant bacon. Now, I don't like eggplant. At all. But this was surprisingly good! It was decently crunchy, but the marinade made it. BBQ-tasting sauce FTW!
On to the good part: the desserts!
Cookies - fabulous. Order them all. Eat all the cookies!!!
Magic bar - all right. I thought it was good, but my bf thought it was a little dry.
Peanut Butter Pie - OMG I'm so glad I only tried a bite, because it was TOO good. Eat all the Peanut Butter Pies good. Get it!
Fruit pies - we ordered two, and I can't for the life of me remember what they were. Not a fruit person (yeah, I know, it's weird). However, the fruit pies were really good! Fresh, fruity, good crust.
Pecan pie - now, I didn't try this one, but I gave it to my parents to try. They said it was too gritty... :-/ I didn't even tell them it was vegan, so I have to assume they're right.
Stick to the fruit and peanut butter pie if you don't want an unhappy surprise. Those I can guarantee!
My total, for a chickpea burger + drink + 1 cookie + magic bar + pecan pie + tip came to $25. Not bad considering how much food I consumed/shared/brought home.
Also, service here is a bit slow but very friendly. Go with a little bit of time to spare, but not a whole lot. Try to go early if you're going at lunch because it gets crowded and there's not a lot of space.
4 stars because I have to go back and give that pecan pie a second chance ;)
