Creative culinary minds have imagined and executed all kinds of crazy ways to get you good food fast during this stupid pandemic, and it’s not surprising considering the level of talent in the local scene. No matter what you’re craving, you can probably have it at your door in no time.

Now that goes for plant-based eaters, too. Underground Burger, launched in early December, is a delivery-only “secret” restaurant serving up delicious fast food-style burgers minus the meat. The currently anonymous owners noticed Las Vegas was missing “good messy burgers, like the kind you eat when you’re starving, drunk or hungover,” and began their meat-free mission from a centrally located ghost kitchen, delivering the goods to an expanding radius that stretches north to Cheyenne Avenue, west to parts of Summerlin, south to Flamingo Road and just east of Interstate 15.

Las Vegas Weekly can confirm that Underground Burger is indeed a reputable operation free of sketch, but does it live up to its claim as the vegan In-N-Out? You get the final word, but we’ll give two thumbs-up to the super-stacked Double Underground ($16), a tough-to-finish monster with two Impossible patties, two slices of cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and secret sauce. Paired with crispy loaded fries or tots ($5) and topped with nacho cheese, onions and secret sauce, it’s a feast of disheveled deliciousness.

Underground Burger also serves a Carl’s Jr.-style barbecue burger ($14) with an onion ring, cheese and a tangy ’cue sauce, and the Fire Hot Chicken ($14), a crispy-fried Gardein patty saturated with Buffalo hot sauce. Coconut-based shakes complete the vibe, giving you a potential late-night drive-

thru experience without having to leave your fortress of solitude.

Expect this new concept to expand its menu and availability soon; the owners are looking into other neighborhood kitchens to take over and give even more people the fun food they’re craving.
