Devout meat-eater here. I've had it. The burger is quite delicious. I was really impressed with what they've done. My burger was done sort of in the style of smash and scrape, which gave it a wonderful, crispy texture. The flavor is not exactly the same as a burger, it's more like the abstract idea of "meat". That's not a turn off though, it was quite good.

Mine had weird after taste - did not like it, but will try it again this week in a different place.
Perhaps my expectations were too high.

Me and my girlfriend we tried at last week. We really enjoyed the taste. Burgers, of course, come in a variety and also taste quite different depending on what kind of burger you eat. My girlfriend observed that the Impossible Foods one tasted a lot like homemade burgers as they're made for BBQ.

I liked it. It tasted fairly similar to ground beef. Besides the flavor (which can be overwhelmed by spices and sauces in the burger anyway) it was satisfying in the way that a tempe or tofu or mushroom burger is not.

The Wynn does very nice impossible sliders at andreas. It's the best i've seen, I've tried it elsewhere and didn't love it.

I've had it several times. The best way I can describe it is as an mediocre to somewhat-above-average patty. It's not going to impress you as being better than a good burger, but it's easily better than bad fast food.

I'd say it competes with regular burgers, it's notably different if you pay attention, but not so salient if you aren't paying attention.
Once they get the price below regular burgers I wouldn't be surprised to see it become a default option.

Definitely can't come close to a good burger.
But way better than a McDonald's beef patty.
