Horrible! I purchased their steaks and they took the money but never sent anything. Repeated calls and e-mails unanswered for days and I’ve still heard nothing. My bank was able to refund my money... See more

Fantastic burger so long as it's cooked right

Just cooked one of their burgers at home here in Germany. I've been a fan for years and everyone I introduce it to is also impressed. They taste better than most beef burgers. It's an entirely different level of wizardry than any other meatless burger.

It just occurred to me I have no idea why they're not everywhere yet so I google around and found this page. I see one or two bad reviews describing the flavour and texture it has before it's finished cooking. They probably tried to do it like a rare beef burger.

Don't try to cook it too fast, let the delicious crispy edged browning happen properly

I love Beyond Meat products

I love Beyond Meat products. My kids have never eaten meat. We are all vegans in my family.

10 years ago I saw a video of a pig being beaten and tortured on youtube (I thought it was my former neighbor at first, but it was an actual pig). I have been a vegetarian for almost 10 years and vegan for almost 3 years.

Beyond Meat burgers are juicy and delicious. I can't wait for more new products they will be dropping.

One of the best vegan meat alternatives…

One of the best vegan meat alternatives I think. I always go for Beyond if they have it in restaurants and I love to cook with it myself. Combined with the right ingredients and spices I find the taste and texture really appetizing. I would definitely recommend (though I can see others disagree). We all have different tastebuds and expectations I suppose, but to me and my many and frequent dinner guests, the Beyond alternative remains a big hit.

Tried beyond sausage for the first time

Tried the beyond sausage for the first time today. It was so expensive. While cooking, I got hit in the face with mixed aromas of baked beans, tomato juice, and cat food. Threw it in the bin. I've not experienced such a foul smelling vegan product in years.

Beyond Ruined Their Recipe

The new beyond recipe is terrible. I will never understand why they felt the need to change their recipe that so many people loved. It has completely lost its flavor and tastes and looks like dirt now. It’s absolutely disgusting. I will never purchase anymore beyond products unless they bring back the old recipe.

Tasty

I’d forgotten my wallet at home and I was sooo lucky to have a free burger (peri flavour) at Birmingham - it tasted delicious!
Thank you as I would have gone hungry at work x

I purchased the Beyond beef tips

I purchased the Beyond beef tips. . Im giving a one only because of the seasoning. The texture of the meat is like eating the fat on a steak. I tried crisping it up but that didnt help. I could never get past something that taste like fat. Started to toss it out , then I saw 3 feral cats setting on my back porch. I put it outside for them. They sniffed and looked at me like I was trying to poison them . One got brave and tried a piece. Gagged and spit it out. Everyone knows a feral will eat just about anything. ABOUT

Beyond Meat putrescence

Beyond Meat used to taste pretty good - I am talking like a couple years ago in terms of time-frame reference. But I bought two Beyond Meat burger patties yesterday ($6+ mind you!) and they were not only slimy but the taste was gross! Like a sweet, putrid taste. If you would have told me that there’s human meat in this stuff it wouldn’t surprise me, given the sweet putrid aftertaste. Whatever they did to the original recipe, the same product now tastes disgusting and looks as such too! Avoid at all costs. Hey Beyond Meat, what constitutes ‘natural flavors’ to you???

Who ruined beyond burger

I started buying beyond meat when it first was introduced to the market. It was the best vegan meat product I had ever put in my mouth and let me just say I’ve been a vegan for almost 35 years and eating vegetarian meat since the 1970s. The beyond burger is now like eating cardboard. It is a horrible taste and even dressing it up with Spices doesn’t change the horrible taste (after taste is like dried blood really sickening to a 30 year plus vegan) and it is dry as dry AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THE NON GMO PROJECT INSIGNIA ANYMORE?!?!. why did they change the recipe? I will never know because the last recipe was beyond perfection, but I did notice that they’re now putting faba ( fava) beans in the mix which is really kind of nasty tasting bean if they are dried and used to eat it by itself, fresh facade beans are yummy but dried nasty and that may be what the problem is, I don’t know. they should know better than to take something that was absolutely delicious moist tasty, and then turn it into what feels like cooked cardboard and tasting putrid . Please go back to the last recipe you had it was beyond delicious this is literally nasty and leaves your breath nasty.

Beyond Meat Burgers Are Unreal

The burgers have made my life so good and everyone I know who has tried them is so happy, even those who are not vegan or vegetarians. Thank you. It took me so long to find a tasty burger since I am vegan.

Have been eating their sausages for…

Have been eating their sausages for years, due to them being the only meat replacement that doesn’t contain onion or garlic. I am allergic to both vegetables. They didn't update their packaging to promote the ‘new’ recipe, so weren’t it for my family paying attention, i could’ve had an allergic reaction to this. Thankfully i was the last to eat so my family could stop me before it got too far.

But for some reason, between now and a month ago, they added onion to their sausages, and changed the texture, and now i cannot eat them anymore. My entire family also doesn’t like them anymore due to the dry and grainy texture, in comparison to the previous ‘version’. Very disappointing to see that they changed something that didnt needed a change

Had to give up

I have to say, Breakfast Sausage Patties and Steak have great texture and taste. These two are my favorites. After many years of enjoying these, I have reached a point where inflation has forced me to eliminate them from my diet. I hated to do it but I have been forced to return to real meat products costing 2/3 to 1/2 less.

If I could use less than 1 star

If I could use less than 1 star, I would. I bought these burgers at Costco a week ago. I’ve purchased them many times at Wholefoods and was pleased. The ones I purchased at Costco looked and tasted like cardboard. AWFUL! They really appear to be a bad batch. I contact Beyond Meat customer service and was told that what they sell to Costco is a different recipe and they should still taste good. I asked for a full refund. She refused. I started doing some research and now will return them to Costco and never buy this brand, again. They have had numerous manufacturing issues that have caused sickness.

Beyond meat steak is a bunch of crumbs…

Beyond meat steak is a bunch of crumbs and nothing like the photo on the package - deceptive characterization of the product. Emailed customer service and received an unapologetic response. I decided to only buy the Impossible brand after this experience.

Disgusting

I tried to beyond meat patties. Disappointed is an understatement. Unfortunately I don't have a barbecue and I had to fry the patties. When I open the package it smelled just like cat food or a cold dog food in a can. We weren't off to a good start. After I fried them up I dressed it up just like I would a normal Burger took one bite and the experience was over. It was disgusting and I would never try one again.
