7. Superiority Burger - 430 E 9th St.

Price range: $2.50-$9

Delivery: No

Reservations: No

Not 100% vegan

Although it's not all vegan, Superiority Burger is totally vegetarian, and most items can be made vegan upon request. The vegan version of their signature burger, the Superiority Burger, is absolutely amazing. They're mini sized, so getting two, or a burger and their burnt broccoli salad is recommended. Don't expect to dine in, as they're only several seats in the small restaurant.
