Boca burgers

I've always heard of them, from vegetarians and meat eaters alike, that they are good source of protein and not a lot of fat so I was just wondering if you can taste the difference between them and actual beef burgers. I have been contemplating to buy them when I go grocery shopping. All responses are appreciated.

I love boca burgers, but they don't taste anything at all like a hamburger or beef.  If you're expecting that beefy taste you'll be very disappointed.

so what do they taste like?? ...... as long as it taste good it is ok with me!

I also love boca burgers.  If you are looking for something that tastes a little more like a burger and less like a veggie burger, try the All American Flame Grilled.  My husband actually likes those.

You have to try them.  I think they are a great substitue.  I have gone to having red meat at a maximum of one serving per week for cholesterol control purposes.  I also buy frozen turkey burgers and I just think they both are a great substitute for a hamburger.  Enjoy!   

Definitely nothing like beef but I eat them all the time. When I feel like a treat I will cook one and make oven fries out of a potato. Honestly I don't miss burger and fries at all.

You should definitely try them and make sure to cook them on high heat like on a george foreman, it helps the surface crust a little bit.

I am a meat eater but actually like boca burgers, they really aren't bad and a pretty good substitute if you got a hankerin for a burger but don't want the fat and calories...

If you like the boca burgers then try the boca ground beef. I love using it in a spaghetti sauce and in tacos.

I have been addicted to Boca burgers for at least 5 years. I eat them almost every day. They have Flame Grilled, Garlic, Veggie & Cheesburger. Flame Grilled is wonderful! On a light bun with light cheese, it's fantastic! I know our Target store sells them cheaper than our grocery store, so check that out. A "good deal" is typically $2.50 a box, but I've paid upward of $3.50 per box when they are not on sale at our grocery store.

Let me also say their Chicken patties & nuggets are good as well. Much healthier and my kids both love the chicken & burgers.

I HATE mushrooms, but I'm pretty sure they are in there, yet I still love the taste of the Boca burger. Give it a try, at least.

Yum, I could go for one now! :) 

They are a bit challenging to describe. It's been a while so feel free to correct me if you don't agree but they're kind of like a bean patty like with a touch of spice. Sometimes they can be outright spicy depending on the type you choose.

They have a bite like hamburger but the textures is different - more like a chicken patty. It's not bad, just different. They serve them at the cafeteria where I work and I have them on occasion. It's worth the experiment.

if you're gonna try veggie burgers i'd personally go with  the morningstar brand.. boca tastes like cardboard-ish to me :-X

honesty bocca burgers never were my favorite. morning star definitly makes a nicer product. and if you just want to try one go to subway and try the veggie patty...its a morning star product....good luck

I honestly dislike the flavor, texture.. I usually either eat  a turkey burger and pop it in the george Foreman grill.. better than nothing;)
