“I've never had a veggie burger quite like the Culver's Veggie Burger. It has an unexpected texture for those of us who are textural eaters and a very good flavor. It satisfies the hunger and palate. Even my mom enjoyed the flavor, and she is not a veggie burger person. I recommend it. We will return soon.
