We ate the eponymous superiority burger - one as vegetarian (the standard) and one as vegan. They were delicious! The burger patty appeared to be house-made and was thinner and had an amazing vegan cheese. The sauce and pickles finished it out perfectly.
We ordered the seasonal veg and they were amazing- they’re actually a cold/fermented and seasoned so well!

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.

I liked, didn't love, this place. I got the veganized Superiority Burger, which was tasty but extremely mushy and basically fell apart after a few bites. It also must have been cooked next to my friend's vegetarian burger because cheese transferred onto part of my patty. So that was disappointing for a place that is vegetarian and welcomes vegans. I'd expect a goof like this in an omnivore restaurant, but not at a vegetarian haven. The old-diner atmosphere is lively and fun. But yeah, this place is very expensive for comfort food. I'm a New Yorker and used to sticker shock, but $25 for a burger and fries is bananas.

Food was good but the hostess (/owner?) was really rude. Not even just to our table. Seemed like a pattern. If you're a very local vegetarian though, it might be worth going to for a quiet bite

Incredible vegetarian burger— probably the best one I’ve had. Fries were good too. Didn’t feel like the burnt broccoli or cauliflower side werent cooked as advertised.

Cool old school diner vibe, and an absolutely killer burger. So juicy and flavorful, and that's a meat eater saying that.

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.

One of the best spots in town, beginning to get over there w regularity. The homies here do amazing food and provide incredible service. Vibes are off the charts. It's the old Odessa room of legend!!! Many pivotal moments went down here and will continue. Came through with my son. ALWAYS get the specials cos they are bound to be fantastic. Def reserve ahead cos they get packed. Taking the EV into the future in the classiest way. Prices reflect the high quality and 1000% worth it... A ++++
I was excited to eat here given all I’d seen on about it on Instagram. Very confused why people eat here as the food was subpar and very overpriced. The yuba sandwich was very underwhelming and forgettable. Fries were good.

Great vegetarian and vegan burgers, nice atmosphere, great staff. We were served by Dave, who was nice, friendly, answered questions well. I had the superiority burger and really enjoyed it - soft burger which melted in the mouth (made of lots of ingredients which I think included beans, chickpeas, mushrooms, carrots) in a brioche bun, great chips.
