    Writing as a carnivore who believes vegan options can *always* be tasty and well-textured, I wanted to love PLNT, but most of our meal just wasn't great. First, service was prompt and friendly. I appreciated being told approximately how long the wait would be, which made it a breeze to take care of a few shopping items in store. And one part of the meal was fantastic--details to follow... I ordered chili, a fiesta burger, a BBQ burger, sweet potato fries, and a cookie for dessert. The chili was room-temperature. It was the sweetest I've ever eaten, and that's not good. It had a pleasing hint of cumin, but no spice. Its toppings were bland and its texture was mushy. Neither burger was good. The patties' consistency was almost exactly the same as the buns, so they're also a very mushy bite. The cheese didn't work (see pic). It was flavorless and simply fell apart--true for the burgers and the chili. The BBQ burger had nice caramelized onion inside. Its bacon flavored bits were a touch smoky, but not salty or bacon-y. The sauce was sweet without being tangy, vinegary or flavorful beyond its sweetness. Better texture for the patty and the toppings would've helped with the bland flavors; or, sharper, more distinct flavors would've helped compensate for the texture. The fiesta burger is a big opportunity. Under the hood (see pic), it's lackluster--neither colorful not flavorful. Being about 20' away from a good produce department, I hope PLNT can get some fresher ingredients to spice up this patty. Crisp lettuce or other toppings would help with the consistency, too. Sadly, the cookie didn't work out either. It's hard to do those right without butter or eggs, and the tendency, as here, is to go heavy on the oils. The result is dense, with a sawdust-y mouth feel and no strong chocolatey flavor from the chips to rescue it. All that said, here's what you go for: the sweet potato fries. These often disappoint with a stodgy consistency, lack of flavor, and usually both. And I was apprehensive when I saw how thick these are. But! They arrived fresh, hot, crispy and wonderfully fluffy inside. Their salty, herbed coating tasted great by itself, and with the aioli or ketchup too. I'd absolutely order those again anytime. Regrettably, that was also the only part of the meal we finished. (And...why are the utensils and condiment cups plastic??) Overall, an unfortunate amount of compromises on flavor and texture left me wishing for a fresher vegan experience.

    I've only had PLNT Burger a handful of times, but this was my first time eating it on site. I got the vegan chili which is DELICIOUS! There's this sweetness in the chili that really goes well with the cheese and sour cream that's put on top. I mix it all together and the only downside is that those ingredients cause the chili to cool down extra fast. Thankfully Whole Foods has microwaves! I also got sweet potato fries... I ordered a small, but I think I got a large by mistake. I consider it an early birthday gift XD. I never feel like I have enough of that maple mustard! Anyways, the service was timely and the staff were really nice! PLNT Burger is a great spot for vegan fast food.

    I would give this a place a 5 based on how fast the service was and the taste of the food. Honestly, I'm a big meat eater and may not purchase this exact burger but it wasn't bad! I didn't want to subtract stars because back in my vegetarian days I definitely would have been salivating over it! The fries are the super star of this meal. I love a crispy fry and this did its thing. It was seasoned well and the portion size was good. I think the price is reasonable for a non- meat option too!

    PLNT Burger is a 100% vegan business offering your favorite fast food items in a plant based way. They always have a seasonal burger on the menu, standard hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and a fish sandwich. Their French fries are some of the best in fast casual dining. I love that not only is this business vegan owners, but the owners are passionate about animals and are always willing to fundraise for nonprofits in the area. My go-to menu item is their cheeseburger with herby fries and lemonade. I always try their seasonal burger though because it never disappoints.

    Love this local-based chain of plant based food. It's super convenient inside Whole Foods so I can get groceries and some prepared food. Their hours are less than the hours Whole Foods is open, but the window is around lunch until close and works pretty well. The favorite here is anything with ice cream- milkshakes, push pops, ice cream soft serve. Yes please! I like their portions- they are normal and perfectly sized so you don't feel like you just had a bucket of calories to sit in your stomach. They have all the "fast food" you might crave, but in a better for your stomach, mind, heart and planet kind of way. They have chicken nuggets with fun dipping sauces to choose from, as well as burgers with toppings galore - choose your classic or classic cheeseburger or dress up with some mushrooms or onions, etc. My fav, though, really, is the ice cream and the quinoa crunch salad with cashew dressing, complete with coconut, sugar snap peas, cashews, cabbage and red peppers. Yum! Couldn't ask for a better salad from a place that focuses on veg meat options! The fries are also awesome- regular herb potato and sweet potato slightly sweetened and spiced. So good! So good! The onion blooms are also a treat, but they do feel very heavy- as they are deep fried onions! Very tasty though! They have burgers, too, if that interests you. Miikshakes have monthly specials! The sizes are not huge, so, calorie-wise, you'll feel better. Also, it's so convenient inside Whole Foods. You can pre-order through the app, which is easy. You can also place your order and do your shopping, so that's nice, and pick it up when you're done shopping. The folks here are very helpful to answer your questions.

    Helping our planet out with healthy food alternatives is a mission I can get behind. Spike Mendelsohn's plant base alternative burger has been on my must try list for awhile. Whole Foods opened their first PLNT Burger near me, in their Rockville store, on Woodglen Avenue. I would definitely say three and a half stars for PLNT Burger. The people helping out today were wonderful, just as nice as can be. There was a line for service and Jonah helped place your order on the kiosk. He was so sweet and accommodating. The line moved quickly and the chef was there to answer any questions. My order came out in about 5 minutes. The PLNT Burger packaging was cute and colorful and I was surprised by the variety of menu items. I ordered the meal box that came with the burger, fries, and a drink. I ordered the strawberry and rhubarb drink. I was not a fan. Maybe, it was the rhubarb, but it had an after taste, and I would opt for something else next time. The burger itself was delicious and truthfully, I couldn't tell that it wasn't made of meat. My only issue was the size of the patty. It was very small. I would recommend making it a double patty or thicker burger. The bun, tomato, lettuce, and pickle were great accompaniments. I ordered the sweet potato fries and when, I snacked on one or two on the way home, they were awesome. But, after a 15 minute car ride home, even with a few minutes warming up in the toaster oven, they did not come back to life. So, my forgone conclusion is that this is a meal that should be eaten there, or some place close by. I would definitely return to try some new menu items and my cookie was MIA, so I would like to give that a try. Also, the soft serve ice cream looked very inviting. This opens a whole new world of plant based alternatives. : )

    Carnivorous Meat Eater Must Try Plnt Burger Excited, to finally try Plnt Burger. They just moved into my neighborhood. It's a local vegetarian/vegan vegetable burger chain that's slowly expanding. Happy that there are more healthy alternatives to eating meat. It's was their Grand Opening at this location, on August 14,2021. So the first 100 ppl get a free burger, to celebrate this awesome occasion. It's a very diverse crowd of healthy lifestyle ppl, mom and kids, to the curious shopper seeking to try this new "fast food" vegan option. I had the breakfast sandwich, with vegan egg substitute and Beyond Beef Vegan Patty, with Sweet Potato fries and non-dairy Chocolate Ice Cream. It was all delicious and I could swear I had real eggs, real meat and real eggs, it was so tasty and delicious. I'd recommend you try it out, even if you are a carnivorous meat eater.

    The bottom photo is how mushroom bbq burger is supposed to be prepared. The top photo is what I got at this location.

    I've been a regular at PLNT burger since the very first launch in Silver Spring, so I'm very familiar with their menu and its usual taste and presentation. While I'm a huge fan of PLNT Burger, I'm disappointed that this location doesn't meet the same standards as others. On my first visit, I ordered the chili fries, but they lacked chili sauce entirely, leaving the fries dry with just ground plant-based meat, beans, cheese, and tomatoes. Giving it another chance, I ordered my usual, the mushroom BBQ bacon burger, only to find an undercooked patty and toppings that didn't resemble the menu photo or what's served at other locations. There are some quality issues that need to be sorted out at this particular location.

    It was wonderful just as if it was real meat!!! Definitely worth eating again!!! A little to know for someone who know nothing about the area.... It's located inside Whole Foods which was cool but shocking for me.

Unfortunately, it never arrived, and after waiting for a while, I ended up walking over to the bakery counter myself to request one. It was a little awkward because I was questioned about whether the cookie was actually mine before I could get the sleeve. While I understand the need to verify purchases, the situation likely could have been avoided had the original request been fulfilled. None of these issues were major enough to ruin the experience, but they did take away from what otherwise would have been a seamless visit. Overall, I'd still recommend Summer House Santa Monica for the atmosphere, quality food, and dessert selection. With a little more attentiveness on the service side, this could easily be a five-star experience.

    Solo Diner: I visited Summer House for a Friday lunch with a reservation at 2:30pm. When I arrived,…read morethe dining room and patio were bustling. Lots of large parties inside. I had to wait a few minutes for the host to return to the stand, but was seated promptly and a 4-top table in the center of the dining room. Service was attentive and polite. My water glass stayed full throughout and she helped me navigate the differences among several espresso martini options from the bar. The dining room has lovely high ceilings and the bathrooms were pristine. I ordered the Costa Mesa salad and added chicken. This brought the cost of my entree to $32 -- which I did not feel met the value for what I was served. The food was good, but there certainly wasn't enough of it or ingredients that I felt warranted the $32 price tag. I also took home four cookies ($5-$6 each) to share with my family. The cookies were good, but again, not worth the price tag. A return visit is probably not in the cards for me any time soon. This is a convenient spot to the iPic Theater and other "downtown" rockville spots so it might be nice to get brunch and then go to a movie or do some shopping. Parking is in a garage nearby.

    A number of years ago, I had dinner at this restaurant when it was named Stanford Grill. The…read moreexperience was not good so, since then, I have refused to return even after it changed to Glenwood's. My philosophy is that there are simply too many restaurants in the world to return to a bad one. However, I was not aware that Glenwood's has upped its game. A lot! A helluva lot!!! While the ownership is still the same, everything else has changed - for the better! The dining room is neutral and completely understated. Quiet interior. Hushed energy and soft music. Beautiful finishes. Every surface I touched was clean, warm and modern. The service too was excellent. The hostess was friendly. She led us to one of the biggest booths I have ever occupied. Our server, Erika, was friendly too - also fast, good, charming, well-spoken and hard working. She helped us navigate the menu and made our dining experience really really nice. She is a credit to the restaurant! Of course, you go to a restaurant for the food and Glenwood's does NOT disappoint here either. Based on Erika's suggestion, we started with the Ahi Tuna Battera - a kind of sushi "roll" that is shaped/designed more like layered lasagne (Erika's description, not mine). It was great and almost too big for appetizer size. But I'm not complaining! For our main course, we both ordered the Fire Roasted Rotisserie Chicken. OMG! Delicious. Moist moist MOIST!!! I do not know what the chef put in that marinade but it was out of this world fantastic. Big big BIG!!! A half chicken with plenty of succulent meat on it. Neither one of us spoke until our chickens were picked clean. I only wish I could rotisserie a chicken that good! It was one of the best chickens I have ever eaten. For dessert, we gobbled down the cheesecake, making official gluttons out of ourselves! It was creamy, substantial and the perfect finish to our great meal. The negative to Glenwood's is its location. It is in a non-descript Rockville office building that is nothing special; but locked up and dark at nighttime. There is no other retail business within sight of the restaurant. This weird, lonely location gives it an abandoned - almost desolate - ambiance from the exterior. Driving by, I had almost thought it was a dining room for a retirement home. So, I started out this review by explaining that my bad experience at Stanford Grill kept me from enjoying a good dining experience at Glenwood's. I could not ignore the taint Stanford had given that place. But Glenwood's is a completely different place. The menu had so many great dishes that I want to return and try. I will definitely be back and I can see it becoming "my place." I highly recommend Glenwood's for a great meal in a great restaurant!
