What people say, in short
Handlebar draws recommendations for its veggie burgers. Diners praise a black bean special, including one who enjoyed it despite not usually favoring that style. Another recommends the Roadhouse burger and especially likes an occasional double black bean smashburger special. The praise supports the preparations people tried, not a promise that a special is on the menu now.
