Celiac review: I was so excited about indigo burger because they offered gluten free offerings, but this visit was a mistake. We ordered a cosmic dream bowl, and two different burgers (indigo burger with brioche and Hawaiian burger with gf bun). One burger was gluten free and the other was not. When the burgers arrived, we compared the buns and thought they looked different, so clearly one was gluten free. However, when I bit into my Hawaiian burger on what was SUPPOSED to be a gf bun it was soft, fluffy, and sweet-- not a good sign. When my dining partner bit into what was supposed to be his Indigo burger on brioche bun, he found the bread to taste strange, not like brioche at all. At this point we were coming to the horrifying realization that they may have switched the buns. We asked the cashier/waitress and she said it was the brioche bun, not the gf bun. She asked oh is it a serious allergy or something? I said yes, its celiac and I cant even have items that touch bread, can I please have a replacement? She brought me the replacement in 30 seconds: red flag. The first time around, it took a couple minutes to bring out our food. I checked and lo, it was the exact same contents: they hadnt even given me a new burger, new toppings, anything. Inside was my old burger with the bite taken out of it and the toppings with the bite taken out of it. Hello?? I had just said I am celiac. They had given me back my exact same burger, contaminated with gluten, just on a gluten free bun. Even the sauce on the burger had brioche crumbs in it still. I brought it back to the counter and I notified them of this. The cashier/waitress and cook seemed apathetic, and offered me a complimentary side dish. At that point I was too afraid to get a side dish and hope they wouldnt gluten me after doing so twice. I asked for a refund and to their credit they gave me one. But a huge bummer and now a two-day long stomachache for this???

This review makes me sad because I really love this place but this was my first time trying the crispy chicken sandwich and it was far from crispy the batter on the chicken patty slid off it was to thick and spongy the coleslaw was placed on top of the patty which made the bread soggy. I usually get a burger and loaded fries but even the loaded fries tasted different everything just tasted bland the shake was the only thing I enjoyed but for $30 the shake wasn’t good enough to not make a review on the rest of the food. Picture below : I took the patty an tried to cut it thinner and then I gave up, I was still hungry….and with not many vegan selections it was very disappointing.

They got delicious vegan food with small menu. Spicy chicken burger with Cajun seasoning is our favorite one. It’s served with coleslaw and the patty is super tender. Mozzarella sticks taste nothing like regular ones but they taste amazing! Chicken tenders are good. It goes the best with sweet and spicy dip.Service was very nice. They only offer outdoors seating but the place is neat. Its our go to place for quick and light meals.

I am so in love with this place. I found me a spot that satisfies my craving and it’s all plant based. The vegan chicken tenders didn’t make the photos cause they were the bomb 💣 the loaded fries comes in second place to the tender, then the bbq bacon burger and the chicken sandwich - that is all Vegan!!! Amazing food, great friendly staff and service was just outstanding. Thank you, will come again soon!

Sumptuous vegan burgers and shakes, to put it a nutshell. Loved my double patty Indigo burger with the works, while my friends enjoyed their BBQ single patty burgers. My only nitpick is that its on the pricier side - the double patty Indigo burger was $12, the 3 fried mozzarella was $8, and the shake was $8. Thats not to say the food is bad - its some of the best burgers Ive had, vegan or vegetarian. Would recommend giving this place a shot if you like vegan food and dont mind the cost. Theyve closed indoor dining due to covid but there are a few tables outside.

Indigo packs a burger with alot of flavor, not what I was initially expecting from a vegan burger. The Cajun spiced chickn sandwich had a nice kick and comes together really well with the sweetish dressing/spread. The fries were made fresh and seasoned well. We also got a regular burger with two patties, this one was good, but I missed the dairy cheese, the vegan cheese didnt do it, theres some things you just cant replace. The chipotle sauce is a must try on the side of any dish, its delicious with a clear chipotle pepper presence. I should say if youre looking for chicken, the vegan substitute is not going to give you the chicken texture and flavor. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed the vegan option and would recommend it. Well be back for more!

The food was AMAZING!!!! The beyond chicken tenders were my favorite item, and this was my first time having them. The impossible burger and fries were a hit too!! The food didnt take long to prepare, it came hot and fresh.

First visit and I loved everything. I got the Indigo burger, loaded fries, and a cookies and creme milkshake. Everything is plant based and the food was amazing. Im typically not a fan of cheese on a burger or any kind of sauce, I feel like it overpowers the burger but this was the exception. The cheese and sauce enhanced the flavor along with sauteed onions, this burger was the best plant based burger Ive had. Quick 20 minute drive from San Jose, I will definitely be back to try more items from the menu.

This place will not disappoint. Clean, fast, and efficient. I love the seating outdoors. But let’s talk about the burgers reallll quick! It’s absolutely to die for. The patty and bread is delicious. And let’s not forget about the amazing chipotle sauce they throw on there, it’s like the icing on the cake. Fries are really good too, especially with the chipotle dip on the side. I’ve been coming here for about a year now and will continue coming here. I love the quality of the food here. And it’s all vegan!! Which for me is one less thing to feel guilty about.

Great plant based “fast food” type of style restaurant! Love having more vegetarian options in the Bay Area! If you want to have a burger and fries, with a smoothie, this is your place! Especially knowing it is all vegetarian and you do not have to worry about the burger being cooked on the same grill as real meat! Service is great too, the guy was helpful in answering questions and telling us about the owner and the meaning behind the logo. I got the chicken burger as I am not a fan of the impossible meat stuff, just too real for me, so there is that option too if you want some thing more simple.
