| - I first noticed them a couple of months ago when we were going the movie theatre next door, but ignored them because typically, there's nothing in a Burger & Hot Dog joint for a vegan. But after checking their website and the Yelp reviews, I discovered that they have veggie options, so I decided to give them a try. (My review is based solely on the veggie options.)
VEGAN BURGER:
It's actually one of the first things I saw when entering this establishment. They proudly featured "Vegan Burgers" on their display board. The owner explained that the burger patty is homemade and gluten-free. They also offer gluten-free buns (which I did not try).
The burger was fresh and tasty. I'm not great in the kitchen, so unlike some, I can't pinpoint specific ingredients, but I think I saw rice and grains... maybe some quinoa? Totally guessing. But it's a great, healthy, soy-free and vegan option, which you get to decorate with a variety of options from their toppings bar.
HOT DOGS:
They do not offer a vegan hot dog at this time, but they do have a soy-based vegetarian hot dog. When I initially asked about the hot dog the woman was honest, yet evasive, about why it wasn't vegan. I asked if it contains dairy, to which she replied yes, but the vagueness was killing me. I'm a local ambassador for a vegan website, so I needed a little more information. 1/2 way through my veggie burger I asked her again. She brought over the packaging so that I could see the ingredients. Allergens were soy, wheat, and eggs (no dairy). I think she was trying to keep the brand a secret. I don't care about that; I only care about the ingredients. I was grateful that she gave me the courtesy of showing me the ingredients on the package, which immediately gave me peace of mind. I didn't want to share mis-information.
FRENCH FRIES:
1st - The way Bubba, from Forest Gump, was a shrimp aficionado, is how I am with potatoes. So when I glazed upon their various options, though not extensive, I was still joyous. And they allow you to split the flavors. So if you'd like to try the Cajun fries and the Garlic, you can do 1/2 and 1/2. Sweet! This is exactly what I did.
The Cajun seasoning definitely had some kick, but wasn't too spicy. The Garlic seasoning was very flavorful and perfectly seasoned. The waffle fries were fresh and crisp. Honestly, I could come here just for the fries and be completely satisfied.
The prices are completely reasonable, in my opinion.
I watched the owner as she greeted familiar faces when they ordered, and later walked around to each table asking how the food was for everyone. She obviously enjoys and takes pride in her business, which is a lovely thing to witness.
I will continue to support this small business. I do, however, hope that a vegan hot dog option is offered in the future. There are so many awesome vegan hot dog options right across the street at Whole Foods. Pick up a pack, grill it, bun it, and sell it. Save me the trouble of cooking or grilling; I'll buy it!
