The Burger Stand At The Casbah

Beware, though, if you're both vegan and gluten-free. They have gluten-free buns that aren't vegan and vegan buns that aren't gluten free. But they do have an option to turn any burger into a salad, so if you're both vegan and GF, that's an option for you. Their fries and their sweet potato fries are both vegan, and they have delicious spicy dill pickles by the condiments! They also (as of August 2016) have a BBQ dipping sauce and a ketchup at the condiment bar that are both vegan.

Burger Stand has a lot of house made veggie burgers and also toutes the Impossible burger. They have great fries and had vegan chili this winter. As of 2020 all veggie burgers are served with the vegan bun by default. They also have a deal after 10pm for a $5 burger basket. It’s vegan if you get either the black bean or Garbo.

The Burger Stand has several housemade vegetarian burgers that can be made vegan. Most of the regular menu burgers have dairy-based condiments and toppings, and almost all of the options at the condiment bar are dairy-based, but you can ask for vegan mayo. Be sure to request a vegan bun; the standard has an egg wash. One plus at the Lawrence location is that they have tofu fries. I like these smoked with the chipotle-cocoa ketchup. Another is the Garbo Monday deal where you can get a garbanzo bean patty on any of their regular burgers for $5. I like the fire burger since it comes standard with avocado and no dairy toppings. Good draft beer selection, too. Also a good place to go to with non-veg friends and family.

This place used to be awesome as a non-vegan, so when I saw that they had plant-based options, I was thrilled. Unfortunately, the excitement soon faded. To veganize the burgers you 're going to pay a ton more. For example: it 's an extra $2 for a bun. Also, my husband and I tried to order the fries but the lady behind the counter clearly opposed that we get them because all the fries are cooked in the same oil as the raw chicken. The result? Plain-Jane, $10 veggie burger with ketchup (because nearly all the sauces had dairy).

The Burger Stand has absolutely fantastic vegan and veggie burgers. Highly recommended.
