Mooyah Burgers - McKinney

Ahhh - finally a burger place that does it right for us vegans.  BWW had a great burger, but they also have a wider menu so you expect more options.  Mooyah is a burger joint that only sells a few other non-burger items, and those are on their kid's menu.  You go in, mark down what you want on your order form, and above is what you get.

For starters you'll see the iceberg lettuce wrap instead of bread.  I THINK their buns are safe, but this way I don't feel so bad about eating so many of the sweet potato fries (pictured).  And no, I did not eat ALL of those!  Can you believe that is a medium order of fries that 'serves 1-2'?  But boy are they good.  What I did eat all of was the burger, which I will order with all the free toppings they offer - lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, grilled onions, jalapenos, relish and mushrooms.  They also have an assortment of sauces - the BBQ is safe and they also have a buffalo wing sauce and others depending on your taste. 

So here is another similar issue to the one I posted in my Scotty's P's write-up - I saw a review elsewhere that complained they cook these on the same grill as the meat burgers and thus you are getting 'meat transfer'.  This might be a location by location issue.  I saw them scrape the grill before they cooked mine, and I take solace in the fact that I did not order meat and thus did not create more demand for said meat patties.  This is probably hard to police anywhere you go unless it is a vegan restaurant (which kinda defeats the purpose of the blog).

That said - great burger, very filling, truly a black bean patty so no concerns about dairy content and the iceberg version with small fries is under 600 calories.  This order plus a tea was around $11.  There are a lot of Mooyah burger locations now days, so pop up a location on your smartphone and check it out!

  1. Hi Ray, I wondered about this place. The Mooyah website says it uses the Morningstar Farms Spicy Black Bean Patty, but unfortunately that burger has egg whites in it. Bummer...

  2. Mooyah wrote recently on twitter that neither the veg burger or the fries are vegan. :(
