Daily Planet - Burlington

Enjoyed my experience at the Daily Planet immensely. Best “Filthy Pickle” I ever had and meal was awesome as well. Amanda as our server made the experience really great. Definitely will be back next time in Burlington. Updated from previous review on 2024-08-25

Had nachos and bean fritters, sat outside on a nice day.

I got the smoky quinoa bowl and shared the patatas bravas. Both were delicious, and there were plenty of clearly labeled vegan options to choose from. Would gladly return! The cocktail menu looked great, too.

This place has so many different menus set during different times that it's a little confusing and overwhelming. We were in a mixed party where everyone had different dietary preferences looking for somewhere to eat. Settled on the Daily Planet since it seemed like a good compromise, but their menu online doesn't match up with what they're actually serving that hour in the restaurant. Which was a bummer for some people in the party that had to pivot what they wanted to eat. We ended up getting some nachos to share, which were great. Loved the house-made cashew cheese. Also tried their sandwich that was tofu, pickled carrots, and peanut sauce that was banh mi inspired (omitted cilantro). It was okay overall, the tofu was good. The peanut sauce was too thick and lacking flavor. Could have use some greens and extra sauces as it was very dry. They were probably having an off day but the service wasn't very friendly or attentive.

Our B&B's breakfast disappointed us, so we headed here for the frittata and fancy mushroom omelet made with JustEgg, cheesy and delicious in the side sunroom on a bright day. You can get these with home fries or a side salad. This place has been going since 1982 and is likely a busy bar scene at night. Parking lot next door is a tight fit. Super sweet service. If I were a local, I would come here all the time. Cozy dining room in the back looked inviting.
