Exactly what you’d expect from a vegan version of McDonald’s - Edit
I got the cheeseburger and tater tots, and everything tasted exactly like normal fast food! I stopped eating at McD’s 20 years ago so this was like stepping into the past for me. Definitely cool for the novelty of a vegan fast food joint, but I probably won’t eat here again just because there’s so many more unique vegan restaurants in the area. It was a cool experience though and it’s worth it to visit at least once.

This is so delicious - Edit
So much better than HipCityVeg on east coast. This was [censored] awesome. So much better than McDonald’s that I remember, including McPlant in the UK.

Kind of pricey but oh well so is McDonald’s now

Took me back in time - Edit
Got the not a cheeseburger meal. Holy cow have they nailed the McDonalds experience. Granted it’s been years since I’ve had McDonalds, but it’s spot on. The fries are fantastic. The burger was tasty. We tried the nuggets too. Not my favorite nuggets on the market. The texture is pretty spot on for meat which kinda freaked me out😂

Spot on - Edit
I was very much looking forward to this and it exceeded expectations! Fun venue with a mcchicken and cheeseburger that tastes exactly as I remember (validated by an Omni who still regulary eats McDonald’s). The “Big Mac” was still good but meh compared to those bomb other sandwiches

Top service - good burger joint - Edit
The service from Billy was top notch, second time in a row.
Read moreThe food is good - much better that the competition it’s aimed at. It could be a little better by using nicer buns which don’t get soggy too fast.
Pros: Service, Food

The fast food you know and love, bug vegan! - Edit
Sometimes you just crave the speed, comfort, and even taste of familiar fast food (at least I do!), and when that's the case Mr. Charlie's won't let you down. I haven't eaten the non-vegan stuff in decades, but it tasted identical to me. Loved it, and love that a place like this exists!

Emulates McDonalds Insanely Well - Edit
I went here with a non-vegan friend who had mcds a couple weeks before, and they said they could barely tell a difference. And as someone who hasn't had it in years, it's exactly as I remember it. Impressive!

I’m Lovin It - Edit
Delicious food, both the burgers and breakfast sandwiches. Also I swear they do the extra delicious Diet Coke thing that the other place does. Have already been twice during this visit to SF.

Wait Is This Not Mc Ds?! - Edit
This place absolutely understood the assignment. The vibe is exactly like how getting fast food at 10pm at night should be. The fries are identical, right down to the astronomical levels of salt. The Mr. Chuck burger tasted exactly the way it should. 10/10 will be returning.

I finally got to try Mr. Charlie’s! - Edit
The San Francisco location is right across the street from a McDonald’s. Made me very sad that there was only one other customer at Mr. Charlie’s, while McDs was packed. We tried an assortment items, since it was our first visit. The frowny meal was super fun. Very tasty french fries, regular cheeseburger, and their take on a quarter pounder with cheese. Not a fan of the nuggets, but the sweet & sour sauce is yummy. 
Read morePros: Vegan Fast Food, Cheeseburger with LOTS of melted cheese, Salty fries
Cons: Pretty big price tag for fast food, Service at this location was non-existent

Nailed the shoestring fries - Edit
They really nailed the aesthetic ✨️it even smells like a McD*nald's from the seasonings. Pricier, but higher quality and without the animal abuse so worth it to me. The batter fried nuggets and shoestring fries are fantastic. Great vegan breakfast options too.
Read moreWe got the Double and while good, was a goopy mess from the cheese. I would not recommend eating at location for any burger with cheese as it'll get all over your hands and unfortunately they don't have any wet wipes or a bathroom to clean your hands after.

Superb vegan junk food - Edit
This was the first thing I ate after landing in SF which might sway my opinion a little but everything was super satisfying. I ordered the "Not a cheeseburger" combo and despite never eating meat in my life, it tasted super meaty and everything had that greasy salty kick you expect from a fast food place. I'll go eat a salad now.

Fun Happy Tasty Meal! - Edit
They are directly across the street from McDonalds which is kind of cute. I don’t think either is in danger of stealing the other’s cliental but a vegan can always dream!! Mr Royale was a good sandwich. I got the meal so it came also with chickn nuggets, french fries and a drink. Thoroughly enjoyable time.
