As an omnivore who likes all kinds of foods, this place hits! The breakfast burrito is amazing; if I didn't know it was vegan, I would assume it wasn't.The employees are super sweet and helpful. I'm glad I finally stopped in after driving past it for 3 months.

Great vegan fast food chain, with solid burgers and good fries. You must try the milkshakes, so good!

Fries were over cooked with to much salt and the cheese tasted like it was not healthy, supermarket kraft slices. I could be wrong. Burger was ok, didn't have any spieces to contemplate the taste with what a hamburger should taste like. It's my first time trying it out, don't see myself coming back because I still don't have the taste for it. Staff was very kind and the place was very clean.

One of my favorite vegan spots of all time. I love that they have more than just burgers, and I haven't anything I didn't love so far. Amazing shakes too! My breakfast favorite is just egg and cheese croissant, yum! Such a comfort food. Definitely a regular here.

I don't know the last time I was so excited to eat out. I've been vegetarian for 5 years and am always trying to "make it work" when I go out to eat. I have a two year old who is also vegetarian. It was so nice for both of us to be able to get a full meal.

Went here with a group for lunch. Got a burger and fries with a fountain drink. Burger was cold, mushy, and had a weird after taste. Buns weren’t toasted or anything. I got grilled onion and it was cold and soggy and didn’t taste like anything. Everyone who got a burger was drowning in ketchup for our whole group. My lemonade just tasted like water. :(Other people in our group said the chicken was good, but the only thing that was edible to me were the fries. Nasty.Inside was clean and nice deco and music, at least.

Best Vegan spot I've come across so far! The taste is amazing, the price is super fair and the milkshakes and ice cream taste delicious. I couldn't believe it was all vegan. I highly recommend anybody to try this place to any vegan or meatlover.

If you go here, check for missing items/ingredients because they notoriously mess up your order. I ordered a cali burrito and revived a free one for a promo, both came without the meat patty. Every wrap I order from here gets the same treatment. Beware.

Took over 15 minutes after we placed our order to get our food and there was only 2 orders in front of us and we only ordered a salad and a burger. Wouldn't qualify that as 'fast' food. Food looked like a "Carl's Jr. experience", if you've ever been to CJ's and compared their pictures to the actual product, you'll know what I mean; worlds apart. Salad was a mess. Looked like a 2 year old assembled it. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it's vegan and we need more vegan restaurants, but really this is a 1 star experience. Place was clean, so I'll give them that. Oh, yeah, and I paid over $30 for a burger (not a combo) and salad. Ouch!Vegetarian options: All veganDietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free options

Great service! The staff pulled through in a pinch! I appreciate you so much!I got the buffalo chicken wrap it was so good! Great buffalo flavor without too much heat. I dipped it in honey mustard. And it was perfect!Chicken tenders were good too I wish I got more dipping sauces!Big Zac is pretty good I added some ketchup n bbq sauce at home.Cookies and cream milkshake add peanut butter is one of my favorite frozen treats.Thanks again to everyone who helped get my order ready tonight and going above and beyond.

I've been taking my elderly mother to the vegan places in Riverside to try them all out, and while we like Roots as a sit-down dinner or lunch, we loved the quarter pounder with cheese, french fries and crispy chicken ranch sandwich from this terrific vegan fast food place. We even dined inside, which I never do, because it's clean and I loved the retrovibe. Great staff too!

This review is moreso about Plant Power food in general and not this specific location. I first discovered Plant Power when they only had locations based in San Diego. I've been to the Redlands location plenty times and was excited when they came to Riverside. It's been a lot of vegan franchises that have had my support but would NEVER open a local location so that we no longer had to drive hours away. So I appreciate the Plant Power has a great range in their locations. What I can say about this location, other than it being a bit slow at times and their drive-thru ordering system not always working, it's a beautiful place to dine-in, plenty of parking and what you've come to love and expect from the franchise. Lots of booths to eat at, tho forget if there's tables outside.Now, the food. I have tried damn near the whole menu outside of the salads. So I know my go-tos. I only care to eat from the breakfast menu and unfortch, it has limited hours. That should be the obvious warning. Whenever the best stuff on the menu is limited to certain hours, it's like you're punished to eat the rest of the menu which isn't as great.Here's the thing about Plant Power food if you've never had it, it's like the vegan, unseasoned, ungreasy version of McDonalds. Take that how you want. It's not exactly the same menu but a lot of favorites I miss, I can find the vegan version here. In their undressing, I find the burgers incredibly dry. It doesn't matter which burger I've had, whatever moisture was in my mouth before eating has always had to be restored after each bite. I think the burger with guac kinda helps but it's the case with every other burger.They're trying to do better. They replaced the house patty they used to use with an Alpha brand patty and....it. still. didn't. help. Besides their wack burgers, their milkshakes, tenders, burgers and breakfast menu are A-1 vegan fare. I used to always get their chili cheese fries and raw tacos too before they discontinued them.The verdict: if you can't make it here for breakfast, just try again tomorrow.

These are the only photos I guess I've taken because I usually eat the food so fast I've tried a lot of different meals here. Everything is sooo good! Vegan western burger??? Say less Also love the messy but worth it Buffalo chickn sandwich. Fries are amazing too

Beware of this location. They like to double charge you and make you jump thru hoops to get the money back.

First timers at this restaurant. Our youngest is vegetarian and the rest of us are not, but decided to go here in solidarity. Well, all four of us were very satisfied with our food order. Had the Western Burger, delish. The buffalo chicken was yummy as well. The sauces are all vegetarian as well and were tasty. A lot of their packaging is biodegradable or recycled. I would definitely support more business that are conscious of their and our carbon footprint. Yes the food take a bit longer to come out, about 15 min, but we'll worth it. Friendly customer service
