Veggie burger - $6.95
For some reason I thought it was a "healthier" diner. I think it was the word "green" in their name. I was quick to realize it is no different from any other diner in terms of their menu options (i.e. a menu the size of an encyclopedia). For some odd reason, diners are a dime a dozen in the Upper East Side/Yorkville. But alas, they do their own veggie burger, so they get respect from me for that.
I gave this burger a 2.5. It's not bad, it's not great. The bun was your standard white bun, not much to it. It was served with lettuce and tomato, nothing exciting there. The burger itself was good, though I believe fried. It didn't have an abundance of taste, but it wasn't bland either. It was made up of veggies like: carrots, green beans, peas, and maybe a pureed squash. Something, probably breadcrumbs, were binding this together nicely. It was mushy, but annoyingly so.
I walked out underwhelmed, though I can't say I had high expectations for a diner veggie burger anyhow. However, living in this neighborhood, I doubt it will be the last one I try.
