P'unk Burger — Restaurant in Philadelphia

For me, it’s always hard to judge a place that does vegan options. I try to be fair and true, and my intentions are certainly never to hurt a business so I have to approach this with an open mind as I hope my readers do. Punk burger is in a very neat place in a nice little business section in South Philadelphia. I was greeted when By a nice young lady name Jada when you first walked in This is a very family, friendly atmosphere. Currently cash only there is an ATM on site with $1.99 fee so bring cash to avoid this . Jada was extremely helpful and seemed to be a one person show. Taking care of the register, taking my order, serving our food doing just about everything reminds me when I was younger. I decided to order three meals. Each sandwich has the same potato bun. After some research. I found that these are vegan like most potato buns are these happen to be decent and I’ve seen them around the city. The first sandwich was from the lunch combo special you can choose from any burger I chose to beyond it was topped with fresh sliced avocado, vegan cheese, a nice healthy onion, ring, and punk signature sauce. The sauce is vegan, although I’m not sure what the ingredients are. This sandwich was excellent cooked very well nice and juicy plenty of cheese, and sauce, this needs nothing just a hungry mouth and this is probably the best I’ve had yet as far as beyond burgers, they had forgot to put the truffle oil on the fries not a big deal that was corrected with an ample amount. I am not a big fan of shoestring fries. I never have been I believe this burger and the others would benefit greatly from a special french fry hand cut would be the best obviously but there are many options out there that could be brought in for consistency back to the truffle I am a true lover of anything truffle and the excess oil that was left from the fries was great to dip in made the sandwich that much better. The next sandwich that I had was The copycat vegan chicken sandwich. This product is not made in house, but it is satisfactory to fulfill a vegan needs, i’m a little spoiled because I’ve had the best vegan chicken sandwiches offered in the city and throughout the tri-state area nourish on Girard Avenue still holds the title for me, followed by bed head in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. The salted caramel shake was made with oat milk and was perfect. I only had a few sips. I don’t do sweet like that but this will please any shake fan. The combo has Pretty good savings I might add. I also ordered the vegan pulled Portobello, which has onions, tomatoes, veggies, topped with sweet potato fries, and punk signature sauce. This happens to be a really good sandwich I added the candied jalapeños, I made sure I tasted the sandwich before I put them on. they were very spicy, Definitely did not need them.this sandwich was delicious and is a healthy size sandwich. It exploded on impact and was messy which I love and was really good. I really think this particular sandwich could use different bread tho it would take it to a different level, perhaps a grilled sourdough or even a ciabatta, shoe string fries are served on the side with this.I saw that they had broccoli rabe on the menu, which would’ve been amazing to add as a side, but they were out. Overall a decent place, prices are fair with supply prices being high, a few tweaks, to the bread and fries would go along way not that they are bad I just think that another level...

My son and I visited this place for the first time on Saturday 8-17-19, we were very excited after reading the reviews and seeing the photos. Needless to say we were very disappointed, first when we walked in there were two customers already there who looked at us as if we were aliens, but we paid them no mind. The man that waited on us greeted us, but it seemed forced, but I thought it was all in my mind, we sat and waited on our to go meals, which took less than 5 minutes to make 2 burgers and fries, which I found to be incredibly fast,, it took longer to make the milkshake. On our way out 2 more customers came in they were greeted and ask was it take out or eat in, they said to go. They were offered a tall glass of ice water (we are were never offered anything) when I was leaving I said thank you and have a good day, all I recieved in return was silent. What makes matters worse is my son's burger was dry and mine was burnt. I really feel like we were not welcome there and I won't go back...

This is an averaged rating for my two visits. First time there was a solid 5-star. We were taken care of promptly, had no issues even with food allergies, and enjoyed the meal. Second outing was with our kids during Wednesday kids eat free deal. We asked specifically about the deal, thought we ordered the appropriate kids meals, as well as two adult meals. My fiancee did not get her order correct, and we received cups for our soda as we were finishing the burgers. When I went to pay, we were charged for the kids' meals, since they each got two sliders when apparently it was only supposed to be just one. The server was nice and apologized for any confusion, discounting the price of one of their sliders each, since she felt like maybe she didn't explain the promotion well. Wasn't the biggest of deals, and I was fine paying full price so it was good customer service to help us out. We will be returning on another evening to eat...
