Superiority Burger

From the outside you would not imagine how cute and comfy it is inside! The vegetarian burger was delicious and filled us properly. The waiters were really nice and offered us a taste of ice cream when we told them we were from Italy! Highly recommended!!

This was one of my favorite meals in New York in ages. They obviously understand flavor and how to highlight the vegetables they are serving. Creative but down to earth food. Casual and authentic vibe. Much better food than other, more expensive veg places in town. I had the yuba sandwich which was stellar. They got a huge amount of sausage flavor into it. The pickled beets were a fave as well. The date milkshake was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced sweet and salty with notes of coconut and orange zest. Unreal.

One of the best vegan sit down restaurants in the city. The atmosphere hits as a classic burger joint but, well, vegetarian. Most of the dishes can be made vegan on request, so this is a standout for vegans looking for a burger fix. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t heard of this place before because every dish was superb. We only came because we were seeing a show nearby and my partner saw this place recently in the NYTimes. We got two mains and one appetizer, all of which we made vegan: Superiority Burger Collard Greens Sandwich - my personal favorite. Unique taste; mixed texture; perfect size Roasted White Sweet Potato I’ll definitely have to come back to try the other two sandwiches on the menu as well as some of the appetizers that stood out but didn’t make the cut for this visit, namely the Sweet and Sour Pink Beets and the Spicy Lentils and Cornbread.

I ventured to superiority burger for the first time and finally tried their namesake burger. I had heard about this restaurant a lot in foodie podcasts that I listen to so I had to check it out. I was shocked at how delicious it was! Reading the description, it seemed kind of basic, so my hopes weren’t super high despite the hype. But for sure- the hype is real. It was the best veggie burger I’ve had in my life. All of the components and layers of flavor come together to make the perfect burger. And the best part is that you can easily fit the whole thing in your mouth when you take a bite. I feel like so often I end up eating my veggie burger with a fork and knife. I wanted so badly to try their other veggie dishes but they were so expensive- just as much as the burger practically and I couldn’t justify the cost. Maybe next time!

This would be a 5/5 for me however the service needs improvement. The chefs and ladies are superb, but for some reason the waiters never seem to check on you. We got seated in the back and the guy didn’t check on us until I motioned him to come over. Food is good but be prepared to spend half $100 bucks for 2 burgers. Either way, food is great for a vegan place.

The food is really interesting and unique here. I didn’t realize it was vegetarian but their main burger really hit the spot. They also have some really cool side dishes as well & I really appreciate their rotating specials. I highly recommend the date milkshake! Some of the food feels a bit overpriced for the quality. Especially the fact that everything costs upwards of $20, even sides and desserts. It is also a very loud environment & I can barely hear my friends.

All dishes were a hit. Pearl pie ($14) is no joke, a total flavor bomb in your mouth with the passionfruit. Not pictured is the pumpkin halloumi with ramp pesto special ($20), which also punches you in the face with spice and flavor. Loved the vegan superiority burger ($20), but it’s so soft it falls apart in your hands. The yuba sandwich ($25) held together perfectly well with the baguette. Soft bread with structure. Subbed the cheese with chickpeas and could not stop eating it. Service could be better.
