Omg, I was craving Chick-fil-A and ordered a chicken sandwich on door dash not reading everything was plant base...🫢 my doordash arrived in opened the food and I was like this doesn't look like chicken. Lol then I read on the bag plant base...im not mad at the restaurant it was my misreading and my cravings lol. Ill rate it 8/10 because I was fooled and ate the whole meal. I didn't rate 10/10 because I wanted the real chicken which is not your fault. My colleague asked me was it good at least and I told them yes lol.

Stopped by Next Level Burger inside the flagship Whole Foods and tried the Chik’n Bacon Ranch Burger with a side of onion rings — and I’ve got to say, this spot lives up to its name in terms of freshness and plant-based creativity.
The burger had great balance: crispy “chik’n” patty, smoky vegan bacon, and that creamy ranch sauce that tied everything together. The toppings were fresh, the bun held up well, and the flavors felt satisfying without being greasy or heavy. You can tell they put care into presentation and texture, which goes a long way when you’re eating plant-based.
The onion rings were a real highlight — golden, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned. They came out hot and didn’t have that oily aftertaste you get from some fryers.
The pricing leans a little high for counter-style service inside a grocery store, and the seating area doesn’t exactly scream “restaurant vibe.” Since it’s in the middle of Whole Foods so you’ll have to catch a seat near the entrance or outside. But the staff was friendly especially Mr Curry , the food came out quick, and it’s a solid win for anyone craving a hearty vegan meal in central Austin.
Would definitely go back when I’m in Whole Foods and want something indulgent but still plant-based.

The atmosphere has gotten so much better since Kurry took over! I used to avoid ordering when the previous manager was at the register because she was so rude and unwelcoming. The food tastes great, but can be a bit heavy. I love that they have soy based milkshakes! It can be very difficult to find good vegan ice cream offerings especially soft serve.
