Wells Roadside

We were thrilled to hear about a new burger joint with vegan/vegetarian options, so we visited Wells Roadside as quickly as humanly possible. There were definitely a few growing pains, but it has the potential to be an excellent and well-loved restaurant. We ordered two Oklahoma vegan smash burgers with pickles, a side of fries, and a vanilla milkshake to split. The burger was quite good! We’re both vegetarian, so we regret not ordering the burgers with American cheese, but the vegan cheese was actually pretty good. The fries had great flavor but were unfortunately room temperature when they arrived. The shake was delicious and not too sweet. There were a number of yellow jackets on the patio, but they can likely solve that by putting out some traps, and they’ll go away as it gets cooler. The patio was really nice, and the food came super fast. I’m giving the experience for 4 stars, but I bet it’ll be a 5 star experience the next time I go. I’ll definitely be back.

Ever go to place and pray it’s good? You’re rooting for them? Ever feel like you just wasted calories? Like you know it’s going to be naughty and full of grease and calories… but hopefully it’s worth it? Unfortunately the road ends here for Wells Roadside. 2 people, $60+ bucks plus tip for another Instagram’ish fast casual that has less service & good vibes than fast food ie Taco Bell. Nothing lamer than tipping and having to bus your own table, toss the trash, and clean up the mess. Heck at least Culver’s gives you a number and they bring the food to you while never asking for a tip. You have to wait next to the pickup window because not a single person can hear their order coming since the PA mic barely works. So we stand there like dopes instead of casually waiting for our food at the table. Talking about tables. There are park bench tables and tables along the wall that are so thin you can barely call them tables. It was also cold and we could see our breath. It was 31 degrees today. Pretty much everyone had their jackets on and that’s not fun eating with your parka. They have overhead heaters but it was very spotty. Let’s just say it was uncomfortable and not fun. Finally onto the food. I was excited for the Jimmy sandwich. Ooof not getting that again. Tasteless and just not good. Ordered the Oklahoma burger with supposed wagyu beef. We ordered the single and double. Don’t even waste your time with the single… it’s barely a burger. The burgers were between mid to decent. The wagyu is gimmicky. The bun got soggy fast and the caramelized onions were barely caramelized. Had the fries with benefits too. It was ok and not worth the mess. Gave it 2 stars. Overall poor execution. Price wasn’t too bad. But the zero service and asking for tip is hard to get over. The cold temperature and lack of care of customers left a bad vibe. They are pretty new and hope they get it together. They have multiple other brands of restaurants in the same caliber. Maybe they should focus on one brand one location.

We've seen this place all over social media because it's a new spot that opened up, so we decided to check it out. This building has a beautiful design, and the service was good. We visited on a Friday around one in the afternoon, and it was busy, but we were able to find a table. However, the food is just okay. We got the Oklahoma burger and the blackened salmon sandwich. You do have to order your fries and drink separately. They charge for refills on the soda, and there are two separate lines for the food and the drinks. The fries are just fries; and I'm not entirely sold on the fry sauce. The highlight of this visit was the Margarita. It was strong, had a bit of a spicy kick, and was a decent size. Additionally, this food is very inexpensive, but parking is limited. We did have to park on the street.
