This spot used to be a diner and Superiority Burger totally carries the legacy forward with the paper daily specials and slices of pearl pie in the refrigerated case.
That said, the menu here is unlike any restaurant anywhere. Honestly we didn’t even really know what we were ordering but the side of cabbage, fries, yuba sandwich and panelle were mind-blowing. Super wild flavors. Service was phenomenal.
I’m hooked. The pearl pie with fresh passion fruit was amazing.

We went early on a Sunday and there was no wait at all. I loved the vibe and the old photos on the wall…in particular, a photo of Dojo on St Marks which brought back a lot of memories…
Service was laid-back, friendly and quick.
On to the food…three in my party got the Superiority Burger with fries in three different ways. It was all spot-on and after tasting it, it is a strong vegetarian burger. But forget that and go for the TFT – a fried tofu sandwich which was simply outstanding. The fries are some of the absolute best I’ve had in NYC.
We also had a side of burnt broccoli which was ok, but nothing too special. Go for the TFT, fries and the vibe.

This place is magic – the founder brings his eclectic taste to create something truly special.
The Superiority Burger (the namesake!) is pure perfection. The tanginess from the pickles, the soft yet crunchy patty… every bite feels special, like I’m blessed or something. And when I’m in the mood to cheat, I’ll pair it with the fries — also perfection. Everything here tastes so fresh and high-quality.
Burnt Broccoli – again, perfection. It comes with a sauce on the side that’s such a nice surprise, and I go every week and NEVER get bored.
The Date Shake… who would’ve thought it’d be so interesting? The founder always sneaks in elements that elevate the flavor profile – the surprise this time is the orange zest.
Their specials are always exceptional and super creative. I guarantee you won’t see anything like them anywhere else.
And the service – truly great. I’ve seen the same staff for years, which brings a sense of community and continuity that’s rare in the city these days.
So yes… I come here all the time, and I’m never bored! Oh yes it is worth the hype btw!

Almost never misses. Love the integration with local and seasonal produce. Phenomenal desserts. Unlike other nyc institutions with staid menus and no variation you can have different food every time or rely on old favorites. Underrated for sure

Vegan restaurant by Tompkins park. The halumi and pumpkin starter was amazing. I had the Yube sandwich, wouldn’t recommend. Their house burger was definitely a better choice.
Good if you’re looking for a vegan or vegetarian option. On the expensive side, and there’s definitely better places in the area.
I’d go back but only for the burger.

Food was five stars excellent, but service was horrible and atmosphere way too loud. It and put a damper on the whole evening. It’s such a shame because if it weren’t for the poor service, this would’ve been a 5 star review.
The waiter disappeared and we waited 30min after we’d finished eating to get our plates cleared, eventually the hostess had to do it as our waiter was still MIA… I thought he had actually left and ended his shift, though even while he was there he never checked on us once. Then I asked for the ice cream to go, he said absolutely and failed to mention there were no to go cups!!! Left us to fend for ourselves with the giant overflowing scoops, didn’t even bring a second cup we had to ask someone else. It was a total disaster and our ice cream melted all over the uber and my clothes. If he had simply informed us there were no to go cups we would not have ordered but instead he brought this ice cream with the bill so it was too late to correct.
The atmosphere was much too loud… every table was screaming both to be heard over the blasting music and also each other. I actually put in my loop earplugs.
The food though was truly excellent, exceeded my already high expectations.
We tried the pumpkin with halloumi which I’m still dreaming about. Looked unassuming but was bursting with strong flavor, chili, maybe even lemongrass, halloumi was perfectly cooked without getting rubbery and not too salty either.
The rancho gordo marcella beans (which I’ve also bought and cooked) were also extremely flavorful, though this dish was a little spicy for me.
The collard greens sandwich was great, very cheesy almost American cheese vibes but in a good way more flavorful. The focaccia didn’t disappoint.
The tofu fried burger was perfectly cooked and very crunchy with strong flavor of sesame. Again though, this was a bit too spicy for my liking.
The date shake was a huge disappointment. I had heard so much about it but it was just way too sweet for me and the overpowering flavor was orange zest, which felt kind of out of place. It was also too liquify for my liking, I would’ve preferred a thicker shake with less milk.
The corn gelato however was spectacular… so rich and almost sticky creamy. Deep corn flavor that was so intense and went perfectly with the sweet ice cream. I don’t know how they crammed so much corn flavor in without making it icy but it was really something special.
Overall the food was much better than I was expecting and I had high expectations – it was just a lot less bland than typical American fare, each dish was bursting with unique flavors and textures.
I also appreciated they had plenty of non alcoholic drinks, and I enjoyed my sugar free cranberry juice & seltzer – truly no sweetness, no sweetener either but very refreshing.
I may brace the service and environment again for the food, or opt for takeout next time.

I’ve been meaning to try this place and really wanted to like it because a vegetarian burger joint is what this world needs more of. The Superiority seemed like the right place to start. It was OK, but it did not live up to its name. It was surprisingly small and the toppings were also minimally doled out. For $22 (including fries that were average) I really expected a hearty and tasty veggie burger (like what 5 Napkin offers). Overall, it was a lot of money for something that was not substantial and unremarkable. But people clearly like this place on a Monday evening, it was about 75% full. Maybe I would’ve done better trying something else on the menu, like the tofu sandwich.

One of my favorite places to go for a bite after a show at Night Club 101! The burger is great (love that the fries are included!) and the date cake with labne ice cream was top ten things I’ve ever put in my mouth. Love the staff and the space 🙂

One of the best vegan sit down restaurants in the city. The atmosphere hits as a classic burger joint but, well, vegetarian. Most of the dishes can be made vegan on request, so this is a standout for vegans looking for a burger fix.
I’m honestly surprised I haven’t heard of this place before because every dish was superb. We only came because we were seeing a show nearby and my partner saw this place recently in the NYTimes.
We got two mains and one appetizer, all of which we made vegan:
Superiority Burger
Collard Greens Sandwich – my personal favorite. Unique taste; mixed texture; perfect size
Roasted White Sweet Potato
I’ll definitely have to come back to try the other two sandwiches on the menu as well as some of the appetizers that stood out but didn’t make the cut for this visit, namely the Sweet and Sour Pink Beets and the Spicy Lentils and Cornbread.

From the outside you would not imagine how cute and comfy it is inside! The vegetarian burger was delicious and filled us properly. The waiters were really nice and offered us a taste of ice cream when we told them we were from Italy! Highly recommended!!
