Sookie's Veggie Burgers — Restaurant in Madison

I love the Vegan chicken sandwich from here. I am giving four stars because I want to support small, local vegan businesses, and I love that they make environmentally conscious choices (based on the vegan focus and packaging) but a couple of things:

1. Based on other reviews I've read it seems I need to make a trip in-person. I've ordered a few times from here for delivery and the food is often soggy once delivered. I think that's inevitable with delivering hot, fried food, and the flavor is generally good
2. I ordered the Oreo shake last time I ordered. It was good, but I wish the menu were more up-front that this is a smoothie (I probably would have passed). I believe it was banana based and it had a pretty noticable banana flavor. I am all for eating whole food plant based; it's just not what I was expecting when I ordered.

Updated my review May 9, 2024: I saw that they are now packaging orders differently, I am guessing based on this feedback. Thank you to the business for considering this feedback and making...

This is a new place. Glad to have a plant-based restaurant in town. Having been a vegetarian all my life, I am not looking to eat highly processed plants that look, bleed and taste like meat. I was pleasantly surprised they had blackbean and beet burgers. The first thing you notice is the cashier. They are a fantastic and enthusiastic salesperson. However, the food is just okay. The blackbean burger patty was quite dry and felt like Morning Star. The sweet heat beet burger was more juicy and pleasant to eat. All their fries are airfried aka baked. The crinkle fries are almost burnt at the crimps to aid in cooking the rest. Maybe normal fries are better for airfrying. Bottom line is that your fries cravings won't go away since these are not fried. The first plant-based burger place is the USP and the reason for 4 stars. Else it would be...

YUM! First time here today, didn’t even know it was here, and I can’t wait to go back. I saw their sidewalk sign saying “100% vegan!” And convinced my bf to stop in with me. 1) I LOVE going to a vegan restaurant where I can order anything on the menu and not have to wonder if it’s vegan and 2) THEIR FOOD IS SO GOOD! I ordered the “chicken” sandwich adding tomato and onion on recommendation of the staff member at the counter. I got Slide chips and the Sookie’s Sauce on the side. My bf got the impossible burger and a pour over coffee. I think we each paid about $15, including tips. The employee was so friendly and kind. It was a filling and warm lunch on a gloomy day of errands. Can’t wait...
