Plentiful Burger 7.8
Upper East Side-Lenox Hill-Roosevelt Island
Plentiful Burger operates as a virtual kitchen out of a First Avenue address, leaning into house-baked veggie grain burgers and lighter sides rather than heavy diner-style plates. With a solid delivery rating and a menu that reads more health-conscious than greasy-spoon, it fills the niche for Upper East Side diners who want a burger format with more vegetables and whole grains.
Must-Try Dishes: House baked veggie grain burger topped with peppers, onions, avocado, and cheddar, Veggie grain burger on a bun with side salad, Veggie burger and soup combo
Scores:

What makes it special: Delivery-first burger concept focused on veggie-forward grain patties instead of heavy beef stacks.
Who should go: Delivery-focused diners wanting a lighter, veggie-centric burger option.
When to visit: Weeknights around dinner when delivery times are still reasonable.
What to order: Veggie grain burger with peppers and avocado, burger-and-salad combo, soup add-on.
