Sunflower Drive-In has not changed in many years. I came here prior to becoming vegan and thought it was good, now I think it's out of this world. Just had a Nutty taco, plenty of food especially with a side order of refried beans. But unlike most food establishments they give you an option of either vegan cheese or avocado on everything. So this is a must visit Drive-In for a very good vegan meal.

The vegan super nut burger is nothing short of amazing. And I'm not sure if it is a trend, but that was the fastest I've seen the food prepared.

Healthy fast food, mildly seasoned. Get extra pickles and sauce for any item! Food is fresh and healthy for sure. Lacking in seasoning, in my opinion. I fix this w extra pickles and extra sauce on the side. Example- large potato salad? Get a whole pickle to compliment it.
They also have smoothies and vegetable juice. I recommend something fruity as they aren't playing w their vegetable juice.
Tried the mini cookie and it was enjoyable.
I give every vegan restaurant 5 stars cuz honestly, Im grateful.
I've had super nut burger, mushroom millet (the only seasoned item. too mushroomy imo), mini cookie, vegetable juice, potato salad

Another delicious meal! Best veggie/vegan food in Fair Oaks.
Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian burger drive-in. Walk up counter, outdoor seating. Food was delicious. I had the nutburger and the millet burger and they were both great. The millet burger was even good for lunch the next day. Potato salad was good, and the shake was almost gone by the time I got back to the hotel. Good place I will visit whenever I'm in the area.

The staff is rude. The food is not good enough to make up for the bad service. I asked for sauce on the side instead of on the nut burger. I was given a solid no even after I when I offered to pay more to do this. I practically begged because this was for an ill loved one who has strict diet concerns. I told the lady this but she didn’t care.
Great food, but always super slow service. Took 48 mins to get 1 nutty taco & a smoothie. As a bar and restaurant owner myself I feel like there is a more efficient way to get the food out faster… I was watching the cook was literally making one single taco out of an order at a time.. they should have a larger skillet with the nutty taco meat in it always cooking constantly since that is one of the most popular menu items… Like when I cook tacos at home for my own family I make a big batch and fill the tacos and we all eat at the same time. Opposed to just making a little bit and doing one or two tacos at a time and then the toppings and filling… I feel like there’s a way they can be faster and more efficient so you’re not waiting over 45 minutes for one taco.
Vegetarian options: Love it for that reasons. Wish they had another cook in there, the service is just too slow and not enough seating outside.

This place is to small bad parking and needs a cleaning. I don't understand why they can't create a better environment for the customers. The seating is very odd and not enough. Same it lacks everything other than being vegetarian that I want.

Been coming here for years. The best homemade veggie patties are served here. Your mouth and stomach will want more of this healthy yummy sandwich. The photos shown are what we had. My husband and I shared a super nut burger with extra sauce. They do charge for extras like more sauce or pickles. Great fresh juice and smoothies here. Hot and cold food options. This place is a gem and has been serving the community for years. If you want healthy but yummy come here. Always the same good food at reasonable prices and big enough to share.

Okay, it's a drive-in. This is not a knock to the establishment. Their food is The shining Star as any restaurant should be. The fare is vegan and vegetarian and the food is really good. I had the avocado and cheese sandwich the others have nutty tacos. For the most part we are not vegetarian. But it's still nice to get a healthy meal without meat. They've been in business for 45 years and the reason for that I'm sure is the quality of the food. Just so you know they are closed on Monday.
