One of the best vegan sit down restaurants in the city. The atmosphere hits as a classic burger joint but, well, vegetarian. Most of the dishes can be made vegan on request, so this is a standout for vegans looking for a burger fix. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t heard of this place before because every dish was superb. We only came because we were seeing a show nearby and my partner saw this place recently in the NYTimes. We got two mains and one appetizer, all of which we made vegan: Superiority Burger Collard Greens Sandwich - my personal favorite. Unique taste; mixed texture; perfect size Roasted White Sweet Potato I’ll definitely have to come back to try the other two sandwiches on the menu as well as some of the appetizers that stood out but didn’t make the cut for this visit, namely the Sweet and Sour Pink Beets and the Spicy Lentils and Cornbread.

What a fun place! The vibes are great and the food is somehow even better. We got the date shake, the sweet potato, and two superiority burgers. Couldn’t even tell you which I liked best, they’re all phenomenal! Already planning my next trip for the fries and the sorbet

As a vegetarian, this place was incredible! Got the superiority burger and it did not disappoint. Could tell it was housemade and the sauces for the burger really put everything together. Also got garlic greens and was flavored so perfectly. Highly recommend, and worth the wait!

Tonight, I went to "Supeiority Burger," located at 119 Avenue A in New York City, which is a delightful gem for both vegetarians and those looking to indulge in innovative plant-based cuisine. Known for its creative and delicious take on traditional burgers, this eatery offers a unique menu that showcases their commitment to flavorful and high-quality ingredients. One of the standout features of "Superiority Burger" is their signature burger, which is consistently praised for its perfect blend of textures and flavors. The patty is made from a mix of legumes, grains, and fresh vegetables, creating a hearty and satisfying experience. The variety of toppings, including pickles, house-made sauces, and seasonal vegetables, elevate the burger to a whole new level.In addition to their famous burger, Superiority Burger offers a rotating selection of sides and salads, each bursting with freshness and originality. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, making it a great spot for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner.

It's a perfect stop for those looking to enjoy flavorful food without compromising their dietary preferences. For anyone in the area, Superiority Burger is a must-visit destination that proves plant-based eating can be delicious and satisfying.

Huge vibes. Quirky/ alternative dark diner feel, very no frills, neon colored construction paper menu- energy. The fact that everything is vegetarian and most everything is vegan is impressive and cool. The superiority burger is good. I give it four stars. But w the overall hospitality of the place and just wide selection (gelato, cinnamon buns, breakfast, brunch, sandwiches, cocktails), this restaurant is fantastic. The chef’s roasted veg w the burger were really tasty - just wish they were served warm instead of cold. The hash brown was decent- I think the veg is a better side to the burger. Staff are really cool and chill. Appreciated that!

This would be a 5/5 for me however the service needs improvement. The chefs and ladies are superb, but for some reason the waiters never seem to check on you. We got seated in the back and the guy didn’t check on us until I motioned him to come over. Food is good but be prepared to spend half $100 bucks for 2 burgers. Either way, food is great for a vegan place.

Vegan restaurant by Tompkins park. The halumi and pumpkin starter was amazing. I had the Yube sandwich, wouldn’t recommend. Their house burger was definitely a better choice. Good if you’re looking for a vegan or vegetarian option. On the expensive side, and there’s definitely better places in the area. I’d go back but only for the burger.

The food is really interesting and unique here. I didn’t realize it was vegetarian but their main burger really hit the spot. They also have some really cool side dishes as well & I really appreciate their rotating specials. I highly recommend the date milkshake! Some of the food feels a bit overpriced for the quality. Especially the fact that everything costs upwards of $20, even sides and desserts. It is also a very loud environment & I can barely hear my friends.

Kab Ra

All dishes were a hit. Pearl pie ($14) is no joke, a total flavor bomb in your mouth with the passionfruit. Not pictured is the pumpkin halloumi with ramp pesto special ($20), which also punches you in the face with spice and flavor. Loved the vegan superiority burger ($20), but it’s so soft it falls apart in your hands. The yuba sandwich ($25) held together perfectly well with the baguette. Soft bread with structure. Subbed the cheese with chickpeas and could not stop eating it. Service could be better.

Superiority Burger is a memorable, well decorated vegetarian spot- well worth going once, though I’m not in a rush to come back. The ambiance inside is so cool, the bathrooms have a nice vibe and I like the retro setting. The service was great. The original superiority burger was my personal favorite, it had a meatiness though the bun got soggy pretty quickly. The pickles and sauce were good. It came with nice crispy fries. The tofu fried tofu sandwich was not the best, the fried exterior was crispy but the tofu part was underwhelming and lacking flavor. It needs some other sauce or taste in addition to the coleslaw in my opinion. The appetizers here look great, and the tomato salad (special for the day) was good, though had too many breadcrumbs for my liking. If I do eventually come back id like to try more appetizers, drinks, or desserts here.

Beautiful low-lit atmosphere and fantastic food. The zucchini tomato special was incredibly flavorful and my omnivore brother enjoyed the vegetarian burger he had — we only wished the portions were a little bigger. Super friendly staff and great menu design. Definitely want to stop back.

East Village dive with interesting menu. Can't understand why the NYTimes is so in love with this place. We had a good time, but given the high prices probably won't come back.

I’ve been meaning to try this place and really wanted to like it because a vegetarian burger joint is what this world needs more of. The Superiority seemed like the right place to start. It was OK, but it did not live up to its name. It was surprisingly small and the toppings were also minimally doled out. For $22 (including fries that were average) I really expected a hearty and tasty veggie burger (like what 5 Napkin offers). Overall, it was a lot of money for something that was not substantial and unremarkable. But people clearly like this place on a Monday evening, it was about 75% full. Maybe I would’ve done better trying something else on the menu, like the tofu sandwich.

Food was five stars excellent, but service was horrible and atmosphere way too loud. It and put a damper on the whole evening. It’s such a shame because if it weren’t for the poor service, this would’ve been a 5 star review. The waiter disappeared and we waited 30min after we’d finished eating to get our plates cleared, eventually the hostess had to do it as our waiter was still MIA… I thought he had actually left and ended his shift, though even while he was there he never checked on us once. Then I asked for the ice cream to go, he said absolutely and failed to mention there were no to go cups!!! Left us to fend for ourselves with the giant overflowing scoops, didn’t even bring a second cup we had to ask someone else. It was a total disaster and our ice cream melted all over the uber and my clothes. If he had simply informed us there were no to go cups we would not have ordered but instead he brought this ice cream with the bill so it was too late to correct. The atmosphere was much too loud… every table was screaming both to be heard over the blasting music and also each other. I actually put in my loop earplugs. The food though was truly excellent, exceeded my already high expectations. We tried the pumpkin with halloumi which I’m still dreaming about. Looked unassuming but was bursting with strong flavor, chili, maybe even lemongrass, halloumi was perfectly cooked without getting rubbery and not too salty either. The rancho gordo marcella beans (which I’ve also bought and cooked) were also extremely flavorful, though this dish was a little spicy for me. The collard greens sandwich was great, very cheesy almost American cheese vibes but in a good way more flavorful. The focaccia didn’t disappoint. The tofu fried burger was perfectly cooked and very crunchy with strong flavor of sesame. Again though, this was a bit too spicy for my liking. The date shake was a huge disappointment. I had heard so much about it but it was just way too sweet for me and the overpowering flavor was orange zest, which felt kind of out of place. It was also too liquify for my liking, I would’ve preferred a thicker shake with less milk. The corn gelato however was spectacular… so rich and almost sticky creamy. Deep corn flavor that was so intense and went perfectly with the sweet ice cream. I don’t know how they crammed so much corn flavor in without making it icy but it was really something special. Overall the food was much better than I was expecting and I had high expectations - it was just a lot less bland than typical American fare, each dish was bursting with unique flavors and textures. I also appreciated they had plenty of non alcoholic drinks, and I enjoyed my sugar free cranberry juice & seltzer - truly no sweetness, no sweetener either but very refreshing. I may brace the service and environment again for the food, or opt for takeout next time.

Honestly, very disappointing. I ordered the burger with the chef’s choice of vegetables and received a pile of pickled cauliflower that didn’t pair well with the dish at all. The chocolate dessert was also misleading it wasn’t really a chocolate plum dessert, just a mousse and jelly with bits of vegan chocolate mixed in. It was overly sweet to the point of tasting very artificial, and the oats on top made it feel more like a breakfast item than a proper dessert. The only thing I enjoyed was the dates dessert. Overall, I would say that if you have specific expectations about flavor or balance, this place might not be the right fit. Especially at the price point they have and the high number of great alternatives in the area.

Decent burger, but nothing standout ish, just tasted like a regular bean burger. Fries were delicious, love the thick potato cut. I enjoyed the tofu burger as well, the slaw was a great addition to it. However, the price point makes this not worth it as I was expecting better. For a basically $50 check, we got 2 burgers and 1 side of fries. NYC i guess… Service was also not good, maybe it’s because we were in the back on a friday but the waiter took our order, never came back, we had to ask the waiter at the table next to us after he took their order for the check,and then our waiter came back to give us the check.
