Take a bite out of a VeganBurg burger and you might be surprised to find that it tastes about as exciting as a fast-food burger. The plant-based patty's texture is reminiscent of a McDonald's item — nothing special. But that's kind of what San Francisco's vegan burger joint is going for.

These days, fast-food burgers run the gamut from the classic McDonald's Big Mac to Jack In The Box's Hella-Peño Burger Munchie Meal, which is filled with cheesy jalapeño poppers. There aren't many quick-service burger options for vegetarians, let alone vegans.

Then there's VeganBurg, a plant-based burger restaurant that got its start in Singapore. The chain opened its first US location in San Francisco's earthy-crunchy Haight neighborhood in December 2015. Take a look inside to see if VeganBurg "meats" the hype.
