order the entire menu with a friend, eat it outside, and come back in for the desserts. also, don't follow your (usually correct) instinct to avoid the 'wrap;' it's the best stand-by dish they have.
Sophie BakalarJuly 24, 2015Incredible but very tiny veggie burgers! Might be my favorite veggie burger in NYC. The buns are fantastic. The sloppy joe was great too, but I'd recommend sticking with the classic.
AmateurConciergeApril 30, 2023The new Superiority Burger, basically the best vegan diner you ever saw, is crushing rn. It spot of Alphabet City. Burger of course, the stuffed greens, the ice cream of course.
Lauren SmithOctober 2, 2015Definitely worth a try. Can't go wrong with the Superiority Burger but it's kind of small so if you're starving, get two. I loved the Burnt Broccoli salad but it's not for everyone.
Everything, and I mean everything here is amazing. My favorite, though, is the "sloppy Dave." Portions are quite small so I recommend getting a main and a side. Guava sorbet was also incredible.
Michelle WilesJuly 20, 2017The burger is savory but also not massive so you can load up on sides (burnt broccoli is a must, as is the beet salad if they have it). The gelato is sneakily a showstopper too
Sloppy is great, burger is wonderful, wraps are extremely filling. Don't underestimate how these little portions can fill you up quick. Finish up with an Arnold Palmer and some gelato/ice cream.
Yael BushoyJuly 17, 2016This place is everything. Get the burger, get the wrap, get it all! Brooks is usually behind the counter concocting his new masterpiece. The homey, hole in the wall feel never fails to impress!
Alexis ConventoJuly 12, 2016The *BEST* ice cream/gelato combo for *ONLY* $5 (pic of mango chili sorbet + cashew gelato w/ candied nuts). Flavors rotate daily, w/ vegan option. 😍 Texture is consistent + out of this world!
Robert CamposOctober 12, 2015The burger and potato wedges tasted great! Most vegetarian places serve very bland food. This tasted as indulgent as any great non-vegetarian burger joint! Will come again!
burnt broccoli salad and classic superiority burger are top notch. cheap, filling, and delicious. honestly you couldn't go wrong.
- This small veggie burger packs a serious flavor punch. The classic Superiority Burger and a side of Burnt Broccoli was enough for my meal. Top notch vegan burger takeout.
Tobias KAugust 29, 2016Burger was delicious, umami-y and satisfying, the tahini ranch salad was great and the sorbet was unbelievable. Pretty mind blowing take on classics, and not expensive!
Garrison PriceFebruary 29, 2016The namesake burger is bomb, usually I just get 2. If I'm with someone I will get a couple sides which change up and are very tasty. We had cashew soup last time that was perfectly seasoned.
Monday LisaJanuary 25, 2016Burger looks small but it's quite filling. Echoing everyone else on the broccoli salad. End it all with their gelato/sorbet dessert - we had the currant and cream cheese, it was delicious.
T HJanuary 14, 2018A must visit for the vegetarian, vegan or plant-based eater. They have THE best burger and gelato too! The special potato soup was amazing.
Chandana MenonJuly 4, 2015The superiority burger is amazing...best veggie or any burger i've had in recent times and perfect size for smaller appetites. The wall seating is impressive use of space and works.
Love the superiority burger, a perfectly small & flavorful treat. Pair it with the burnt broccoli & you've got a surprisingly filling & scrumptious lunch. Friendly staff. Small location.
Oz LublingDecember 13, 2015This place is the bomb. I recommend the boat wrap if you're hungry. The namesake burger is great too but quite small. The dessert is usually really good as well.
HolidayJuly 25, 2016The burger was insane but on the small side at $6 so no surprise there. Got crushed ice with the Arnold Palmer. Next time I'm ordering every thing off the menu! Get take out and sit at Tompkins sq.- BlixtNovember 20, 2015The burger is unfortunately not gluten free, however their Superiority Boat tastes amazing and is both gluten free and vegan!
All veggie burgers and some are vegan (i'm pretty sure they can make anything vegan). The sides are great too!- F. BastardJanuary 23, 2019The burger patty was a lot squishier than I was expecting - more like a firm puree than a burger. But it tastes delicious. The charred broccoli salad is crunchy and fresh-tasting. I'll be back.
Vivian VoApril 5, 2016Tried almost everything on the menu - faves are the sloppy Dave, broccoli salad, and the coconut + potato soup. Yummmms
GQ MagazineDecember 3, 2015The bun squishes. The lettuce crunches. The pickles snap. That patty, made from ingredients Headley won’t divulge and miles beyond whatever your vegan friends use, has genuine heft. Read more
Kim PhamSeptember 10, 2019Damn tasty veggie burgers! Make sure to get sides as you will still be hungry. Don’t skip out on the gelato + sorbet either!!
Ale TowerJune 11, 2016Great spot for a quick vegetarian or vegan meal. Their signature burger was great, not the usual lousy mushroom, but a veggie patty that makes it satisfyingly tasty.
Sahadeva HammariFebruary 18, 2016Stellar burger. Extra stellar gelato desert that packs a lot of detailed, fantastic flavors.
J McVayJanuary 21, 2018I enjoyed the vegan superiority burger and the fried yoda on a roll or whatever the second sandwich is called !👍
Alexandra FanningFebruary 17, 2018EVERYTHING EVERYTHING here is ah-mazing. Get the potato-coconut soup - carrot salad and all the gelato 🍧
Pat HuApril 24, 2016Here's the move: Superiority burger, combo gelato/sorbet + crack kale, fries from Whitman's down the street. Stroll over to Tompkins Sq Park and have yourself a tasty picnic.
Casey SchoonoverApril 12, 2019Fantastic food overall, vegetarian or not. Charred broccoli salad was unique and delicious. The portion size on the wrap is massive! 👍🏼
FabioJune 9, 2017If you are into veggies its a good option. Other than that great atmosphere and beautiful people.❤️
Kendall SmithAugust 2, 2015The superiority burger... Is pretty darn superior, even if you're not a vegetarian. Top with some of the charred broccoli/eggplant salad for the win
Camille FournierJanuary 10, 2016Liked the baked beans with polenta. The sloppy Dave is very tomato heavy for my taste. Awesome dessert although the dessert is not entirely takeout friendly
Akshay PatilNovember 11, 2016The eponymous burger is compact and priced accordingly. Add a tasty side if you're looking for a proper meal.
Chase BrandonApril 19, 2018Def check flavors (they only have one gelato and one sorbet daily) but the strawberry sorbet I had here is easily one the tastier sorbets I've come across in my life
Duane HoseinJune 17, 2016The Superiority wrap and burnt broccoli salad is my combo of choice. So damned incredible!
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanAugust 2, 2015Vegetarian spot w/ some vegan options. The burger was good, but a little small. Order sides if you're looking for a full meal. The space has limited seating. But Tompkins Sq Park is nearby.- GQ MagazineNovember 20, 2015Superiority Burger, located in New York’s East Village, shatters the notion that meatless burgers are nothing more than frozen cardboard vessels for fungus or tofu.

Ms HeleneApril 21, 2016Superiority burger was flavorsome beyond belief, Sloppy Dave had a spicy kick & charred broccoli redefined 'salad'
Condé Nast TravelerOctober 26, 2016"Because Superiority Burger is vegetarian, it’s on-trend, except it does it in a way that's cheeky and appeals to non-vegetarians. The energy is totally contagious.” - Charlotte Druckman Read more- Christian de BottonOctober 22, 2016Not sure why but I really wanted to dislike this place. Have gone through the entire menu and a lot of the specials. The burger, sloppy dave, gelato, burnt broccoli, broccoli rabe, all fantastic.
M GonzalezMay 20, 2018Affordable vegan burger place with fresh ingredients. Very tasty and worth checking out
