Specialising in plant-based burgers, nuggets, and other fast food favourites, Mr Charlie’s, nicknamed the ‘vegan McDonald’s’ offers all the nostalgic fun of childhood favourites without the guilt.
When Mr Charlie’s opened in 2022, its red and yellow decor made people do a double take – it bore an uncanny resemblance to the popular fast food chain. Videos showcasing the vegan menu even went viral on TikTok. But this was no ordinary burger joint; Mr Charlie’s puts a fresh, plant-based twist on classic fast food items.
The Not a Cheeseburger, which is made up of plant-based burger patty, vegan cheese, pickles, onion, ketchup and mustard, is currently one of the hit menu items.
The Australian outpost is the first international location for the California-based chain. With the signature upside-down smile on their MiniFrowny kids meals and menu items like the ‘Not A Hamburger Frowny Meal,’ ‘Not Chicken Nuggets’ and American Fries, they put a playful spin on classic dishes.
Their mission is to inspire a new generation to connect with their inner child through food that makes them feel good.
