Board favorite restaurant veggie burgers?
I recently had the housemade veggie burger at The Druid and it was the best veggie burger I've ever had. I didn't think I liked zucchini, and there was a lot of zucchini in it, but the whole thing was delicious, lots of flavor, good texture. It also stayed together well. All in all the perfect sandwich. I eat meat, and The Druid's fish and chips are great, but I'd order this everytime I go back.
In contrast, I also recently had the vegan burger at Deep Ellum and it was truly awful. "Grilled seitan" had no flavor and strange texture. But it was the no flavor that really killed me. Never ordering that again.
I would love to hear about other great, preferably housemade, veggie burgers. I'd like to try some more.

Friday night I went to Four Burgers in Central Sq. The veggie burger was really good! It was a tasty, mostly black bean patty and held together very well. It reminded me a bit of a Dr. Praegers California burger meets black bean burger. The fries were also fresh and good - I loved that you could get half regular fries, half sweet potato. It was $30 for two burgers, tons of fries, and a couple beers. The cookie we got for dessert wasn't very good, but I'd go back for burgers and beer. Very pleasantly surprised!

Veggie burgers are usually great or the opposite--little middle ground--so they make a risky order. Thanks, desuka, for this useful post!
The Druid and Four Burgers are two favorites. I agree with yarm about the Middle East's version, though not everyone will love their spice-spin.

I dig the veggie burger at The Burren -- it's a sort of curry patty with lots of veggies.

Second on Aububon's bean burger: so good I often forgo their excellent burger and new pressed ribeye sandwich for it.
A good fast-food version is the bright-green thing at Four Burgers in Central Square.

Lots of fine choices already posted. I'll add Atwood Tavern's to the mix. Housemade with black beans and misc grains (not sure)...delicious. Fries, beer and wine list are good, too. In fact, I have enjoyed everything there. If you're lucky, there will be live bluegrass to accompany your meal.

I tried the veggie burger at Atwood's last week based on this post. I love the fact that it was homemade, but I found it a bit more bland then I'd like (and I generally expect a bland veggie burger). It was fine, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. My DC who also had one said the same thing. The sweet potato fries seemed to have promise but were , slightly burned and a bit limp. The service was slow but friendly (our waitress was very busy, not totally her fault) and at the end of our meal our she took our money, dissappeared for 10-15 minutes and we had to track her down for change. We'd planned on leaving a good tip, but not 50% of the bill. (She said she didn't realize we'd needed change). The live music, atmosphere, and beer were great so I'll go back and try again at some point since it could have been an off night in the kitchen.

the veggie burgers at publick house are really good. i can't stand that place - something about it just makes my skin crawl (the staff's attitude on several visits hasn't helped endear the place to me) - but suck it up every now and then for a veggie burger.

My faves are the homemade veggie burger at Christophers in Porter Sq and the black bean burger at Highland Kitchen. I recently had the veggie burger at Upstairs on the Square and thought it was very good, but not as fantastic as Christophers or HK. I really wanted to like the one at Common Ground in Allston and didn't, ditto for Public House in Brookline (but that is likely a very good veggie burger that just has too much curry for my personal tastes).
