Green’s meatless burger named one of Yelp’s Top 100 Burgers in America

🍔 The Big Wac, a plant-based burger from Valley vegan restaurant Green, has been named one of the top 100 burgers in the U.S. by Yelp.

What: Green describes the Big Wac, its homage to McDonald’s Big Mac for the past 15 years, as (sing along) ‘‘two hand-packed patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.’’

  • The burger, which came in at No. 18 on the list, costs $11.

Where to find it: Green’s original location is near the northwest corner of Scottsdale and McKellips in north Tempe. A second location can be found on the northwest corner of Seventh Street and Palm Lane in Phoenix.

The rankings: Yelp says it identified restaurants with a large concentration of reviews mentioning “burgers,” then ranked those spots using ratings, the number of reviews, and other factors.
