Why Choose Mr. Charlie’s

Why plant-based diners choose Mr. Charlie’s for nostalgic fast food

  • Faithful Fast-Food Flavor Profiles

    Customers confirm the plant-based smash burgers and seasonings capture the authentic taste and textures of classic mass-market fast food.

    The flavour mix of their cheeseburger - ketchup, mustard, pickles & onions on a smashed burger was bang-on!

  • Authentic Plant-Based Nuggets

    Recreations of classic nugget texture and batter satisfy longtime cravings without using any animal proteins.

    My son’s friend (who is not vegan) loves the nuggets and said he much prefers them to the real thing.

  • Cruelty-Free Comfort

    Diners highlight the peace of mind that comes from eating nostalgic comfort meals without harming animals or encountering meat cross-contamination.

    You want McDonald's or hungry jack's but not the animal cruelty or your vegan patty contaminated with beef fat? Come here! Tastes exactly the same and that's great!

  • Guilt-Free Nostalgia

    Plant-based eaters express moral satisfaction finding beloved nostalgic fast-food classics prepared completely cruelty-free.

    Delicious food and tastes even better knowing it’s cruelty free. Fully plant based venues like this are proof that you can enjoy all your favourite foods without harming others.

  • Fun Novelty Homage

    Visitors describe the fun of experiencing a dedicated vegan homage that captures every classic element from sauces to buns.

    Such a novelty to head to Mr.Charlies for a vegan plant based alternative to McDonald’s. Haven’t eaten McDonald’s in well over 15 years but from what I remember Mr. Charlies tastes exactly the same. The sauce, the pickles, the bun… all of it.

    The double cheeseburger was incredible and so was the iced tea (goji berry).
