Tasty! - Edit
The vegan chicken burger impressed a meat eater who has turned his head at every vegan food I’ve asked him to try. What more do you need to say than that!?
Read morePros: A menu full of options!

Just like McDonald’s but so much better - Edit
Brought back memories of McDonald’s but the taste was sooo much better. Went here multiple times during our week long vacation - tried breakfast, lunch and dinner. Highly recommend!

the best vegan fast food - Edit
Love all the Plant Power locations. This one is near a natural food co-op if you want to double up and grab some vegan snacks or groceries after your meal.

Expensive, okay but small portions - Edit
I'm grateful it's here, but wish their ingredients weren't so processed and McDonalds-y. It's like they try way too hard to mimic the worst aspects of McD and similar places. I do like the salads but rarely get them since I try not to discard plastics more than I must. Most burgers are surprisingly filling but, very small at the same time, especially for $11-12 each.
Read morePros: Vegan, Nice people usually , Convenient
Cons: Plastic packaging , Quite unhealthy (most items), Expensive for small quantities

This is the oddest review i think I’ve ever read.
Read moreYou wish they weren’t so “McDonalds-y”….. that’s literally their thing. Plant based fast food, they have a Big Zac (Big Mac). It’s literally them being exactly what they say they are. Imagine going to an Italian restaurant and being disappointed they don’t sell Mexican food…. The burgers are filling but small. Umm. As long as they’re filling, what does it matter how big they are? Would rather they be massive but not filling?
This seems like a really unfair rating.

So unhealthy mass produced food is a "culture" now, like Italian or Mexican? Hmm...

Great Fast Food - Edit
I had the Big Frank, the buffalo chicken wings, and the Iconic sweet potato fries. The big frank was good, but I ended up not being able to finish it because it was so much bread. The chicken was great but a little soggy. The fries were my favorite; I loved that you can substitute sweet potato fries.

Tasty treats - Edit
Smoothies and chicken nuggets are what I have tried since I don’t do wheat gluten and they are very enjoyable although a little pricey to do regularly. Also smoothies are oat based which to me isn’t optimal nutritionally.
Read morePros: Taste, Texture, Convenient
Cons: Expensive, Not many gf options, Too much oats

Oh, Yes.... - Edit
If you've got a probably-not-so-good-for-you fast food itch that's been hard to scratch since going vegan, this is THE place. Burgers, fries, milkshakes, deliciousness.

Pros: Menu with surprising variety, So many milkshake flavors!

The Best Fast Food Ever - Edit
For Fast Food, you can’t beat this! I’ve been here just twice, but I am blown away by how good it is. I like that they have caloric values on their website (just look for the link at bottom of their website that says, “Nutritional information “).
Read moreWhile it is understandable that small restaurant establishments (fewer than 10 stores — I think) are not required by the government to list calories, it is a nice feature!
Note: I haven’t tried “Native Foods” yet, and I’m not sure if it is considered “Fast Food” or not, but it is next on my list to try!

Great on-campus vegan option - Edit
Not open on Sundays, always check the hours on other sites. This location is basically open when the students are there, although it is available for off- campus visitors. It's clean, delicious and always a wonderful vegan option.
Read morePros: One of the only a few true vegan options at UCSD , Fun Menu changes, Delicious desserts/shakes
Cons: Not cheap

Vegan Fast Food that needs to be Everywhere! - Edit
This place doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Vegan fast food that is affordable and good is something that you can find only at Plant Power in LV.
Read moreYou can basically get a sandwich, side and drink for $13, if you don’t upgrade anything, which is insane. I always come back to this location though because no matter who takes my order, they’re always amazing, which matters so much to me personally. Come to find out, I met the manager Diana, and she’s the best ever, so it doesn’t surprise me that her staff takes from her example.
Anyway, favs are… sausage, egg and cheese on croissant for breakfast with hash brown and hot coffee, chicken sandwich with fries and iced cold brew for lunch… and I never save room for dessert, but the rewards gave me a free chocolate frappe one time and it was perfect. Also, the chicken nuggets (not the tenders) taste exactly like the battered McDonald’s ones, but without the gross cruelty and whatnot.
The only issue I have with it is there aren't several locations in every city across the country. Plant Power - please keep expanding! Thanks : )
Pros: Good food fast, Excellent Service, Good music played at a reasonable volume
Cons: nada, none, zilch

I had the imitation beef cheeseburger with fries, which was great. Great quality and good servings.
Read moreMy omni friend ordered it delivered to us. She ordered and ate the ‘Chicken’ burger and loved it, not knowing knowing it wasn’t real chicken until another friend pointed it out. So, clearly a great place to eat for vegans with picky omni friends who “need” their meat.

A Promising Experience with Room to Improve - Edit
I was so excited to finally check out Plant Power! Did it live up to my expectations entirely? Not quite. However, I admire their mission and see great potential for growth.
Read moreThe Highlights:
Hot and crunchy nuggets that satisfied my "chickn" cravings.
Delicious onion rings, a rare treat these days.
A diverse selection of sauces, including the flavorful ranch and secret sauce.
The tasty fries brought back memories of McDonald's.
The Downsides:
Regrettably, the bun on my burger was stale, dampening the overall enjoyment.
Prices leaned towards the higher side.
Despite the shortcomings, I would give Plant Power another chance on my next visit to San Diego. Their Snow Days desserts caught my eye and I'm eager to indulge in their delectable plant-based treats.
