The Latke Burger at Jimmy’s Diner

This is the best veggie burger I’ve had all year; a wonderful melange of Eastern Europe and America. The patty is not just homemade, but hand shaped. And it lays between two, crispy latkes. It’s like a Hanukkah miracle. How often does your burger come with sour cream AND applesauce? And thank god for the salad on the side. I don’t think the plate could handle more fried potatoes.

Spitzer’s Veggie Burger

The selling point here is the homemade patty, grilled to perfection. And there’s the bun, oh the bun. Just sweet enough and so crispy. I’m pretty sure this is the same bun that Pink Pony uses - must be a bakery nearby. The sad news, no sides. If you’ve got a lunch meeting, this place is perfect. If you’re super hungry, you might want to look elsewhere.

Portobello Burger at Burnside

Pretty decent veggie burger for bar food. The ‘patty’ spills over the side making it a bit hard to hold. And the melted cheese makes the bun fall apart as you eat it. But it what it lacks in grace, it makes up for in taste. This thing feels fresh off the grill and goes down easy with some Allagash White. Pro tip: Get the fried cheese curds.

The Signature Burger from Bad Burger

This is a great veggie burger. The ‘patty’ is a portobello mushroom steak topped with vegan cheese and chimichurri sauce. You can swap out the patty for a black bean or beet burger and the hand cut fries (which are awesome) can be swapped for a salad. They even have an epic sauce list with options like curry ketchup and pesto mayo. Next time I’m trying the beet burger and one of their vegan shakes. Oh, almost forgot, this place is BYOB!

Double Bacon Cheese Burger (Vegan) from Kate’s Joint.

The burger was solid but I think some of the other options are better (like the one with BBQ sauce and onion rings on it). Best part of the meal was ordering it. I mean, how often do I get to say, ‘double bacon cheese burger’?

The Pregosin Vegetarian Burger

Ventured down into South Slope the other day for a little back yard BBQ. Lexie’s dad cooked up this delicious meal for us: burgers, potatoes, corn and veggie skewers. For some reason, home cooked meals always taste better. The veggie burger was simple but great. I ended up adding some of the grilled veggies to it and bam, had an amazing burger. Thanks, Papa Pregosin!

Pink Pony Vegetarian Burger

What a treat! I just found out about this amazingly cute literary cafe and cine club in the Lower East Side. They have an excellent veggie burger. The bun was fresh baked and perfectly crisp. Although the toppings were fairly standard: iceberg lettuce, two slices of tomato and a bit of onion, the patty itself was delicious. I’m pretty sure they aren’t making them on site but when whole pieces of edamame are falling out of my veggie burger, I know I’ve found a winner. I may have to become a regular at this place.

Price: $8.75 (add $1 for cheese)

Lite Delights’ Veggie Burger

This juice bar/ sandwich shop is among my top 10 favorite restaurants in New York. Inexpensive, unpretentious and always yummy. I recently ordered the veggie burger and it was excellent. The patty was chalked full of vegetables and had just enough black pepper to keep me on my toes. And everyone loves alfalfa sprouts and endives on top. But the most notable element here was the bread. How do they fit so many grains in it and where can I get the rest of the loaf?

Cowgirl’s Garden Veggie Burger

Only one word comes to mind after eating this burger, heavy. The patty is large and full of vegetables, but for some reason it still feels like meat when you bite into it. Of course, it came with the usual toppings, and the margarita I ordered helped me get past the meatiness of it all, but I wouldn’t recommend this burger to anyone. Love the restaurant; veggie burger needs work.

D.C. Veggie Burger in Pita

A perfect example of veggie burger fusion. Pita instead of bun, yellow peppers instead of tomatoes, parsley and spinach instead of lettuce. And the homemade chili sauce (jam?) was a great addition. The patty itself was relatively standard, definitely not made on the premises, but with all of the other goodies piled on top, this sandwich doesn’t miss the mark.

Bridge Fresh’ Vegetarian Burger

Well, another winner. This veggie burger, although pretty messy, was super yummy. The patty was soft but hearty, with black beans, corn, brown rice, red pepper and who knows what else. It was topped with melted muenster cheese, a pound of shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions and ketchup, and one pleasant surprise, a thickly sliced dill pickle. All that for $4 plus getting to eat it in the Manhattan Bridge Park a few blocks away - you couldn’t ask for more.

Cloe’s Homemade Veggie Burger

No yelp link for this one. Cloe, an old acquaintance and new friend brought over these pinto bean and oatmeal patties and they were delicious. Each burger was seasoned with a dash of curry and topped with sharp cheddar, tomatoes, red lettuce, onions and radish slices. The patty itself was a little mushy but the flavor was incredible. Who knew pinto beans, oatmeal and curry powder would be such a great combo? Thanks Cloe for blowing my mind.

Getting Hungry’s Veggie Burger

According to rumors around the office, this place isn’t the best for vegetarians as bits of chicken tend to accidentally make their way into veggie salads. I decided to brave it for the veggie burger, and although it wasn’t groundbreaking, it was decent. The bun and cheese preparation is worth noting I think. Each half of the bun received its own slice of cheddar and then were put into a conveyor-like toaster. Jury’s still out on whether that’s the best approach but it was definitely different. Of course, when they wrapped it up to go, they really ruined the shape. But a little shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes and onions and it tasted pretty good.

Cozy Soup ‘n’ Burger’s Jumbo Homemade Veggie Burger

Total let down. I figured this place would have a good veggie burger, I mean, it is a burger joint. Guess there aren’t too many vegetarians on staff. The patty was so meat-like I had to actually break a piece off just to make sure they got my order right. Jumbo? I guess, but taste-wise it was pretty awful. Sure, lots of iceberg lettuce, but who needs all that? The best part was the kosher dill pickle on the side.

Soho Park Veggie Cheese

One of the best Veggie Burgers I’ve had in New York. Consisting of a spicy vegan patty topped with black bean spread, cheese, tomatoes and tons of red lettuce, this veggie burger doesn’t even need ketchup. It’s almost too wet. The spicy factor is definitely a plus and the black bean spread takes it to a whole new level. It’s a little messy and there’s probably too much lettuce on it, but what can you do? The bun, although tasty, is still white bread, begging the question, “Where the wheat buns at?”

Galaxy Global Eatery’s Hempnut Veggie Burger

For how beautiful this looked when it came out, I was shocked at how mediocre it tasted. The hempnut veggie patty was like an oversized Boca Burger, but greasier. Even the bun was greasy. The avocado and onions were a special request and I think they added a lot. The coleslaw was probably the most interesting thing on the plate. The cabbage, the carrots and the sauce weren’t mixed together; just stacked on top of each other. I kind of enjoyed that.

Little Italy Veggie Burger

I’ve been going to this deli for a few months now but for some reason I’ve never ordered the Veggie Burger. Turns out their Veggie Burger is pretty great. A large, handmade patty with edamame and carrots, the bun warmed on the griddle, and a wide selection of cheeses. Interestingly, they don’t put the cheese directly on the patty, but rather just under the top bun. Although unorthodox, it was a delightful surprise. Bonus: you can get a small salad instead of fries on the side.

Cost: $6.25
