The Chicago Diner

Serving up classic diner staples without any animal products. Yep, there's steak and eggs , Reuben sandwiches and chilaquiles all without meat, cheese or eggs and just as good as the real thing. Read more

Everything! Great for vegans , vegetarians , or anyone who likes burgers and milkshakes . My sweet potato burger with avocado etc was fantastic and so was the vegan Mac n cheese on the side! A fav place

My boyfriend got the ruben sandwich & loved the sauerkraut . I got the spicy black bean w/ a side of kale &Ginger so good!! We topped off our lunch with splitting a peanut butter cookie dough shake !

I literally dream about this amazing vegetarian diner . I could write 500 words on how awesome the food and the staff are here. This is an ABSOLUTE must restaurant for vegetarians and carnivores alike.

Best vegan food I’ve ever had, hands down. Often a wait and once seated, we had to frequently ask the server to order and remind them of drinks we were waiting on. Still, best vegan food .

Go hungry and even then you may want to split a meal! We had more than half the Titanic Burger & Country fried steak leftover- it would've fed at least 4 ppl! Desserts were amazing so save some room????

Everything we tried here was delicious! The staff were very kind and were happy to share with us what their favourite menu items were.

Though this diner doesn't serve any meat, it serves the kind of greasy food diners are known for. The radical reuben , a vegan reworking of the classic sandwich , is just as good as its meatier cousin.

Vegans , vegetarians , non vegetarians will love this place. I recommend the Thai chili wings as an appetizer . I love that there is a small lot adjacent to the diner . Rare in Chicago

This place is really good for vegan and vegetarian options ????????????.I really liked their Milkshakes and the black beans burger is really good!! I highly recommend this restaurant .

The thin slices of juicy seitan are impressively flavorful especially when smothered with the creamiest vegan tzatziki sauce you can imagine. The whole deal is wrapped in a perfectly fluffy pita . Read more

Had the potato tempeh with tofu scramble and biscuits and gravy . Amazing! Finished with a piece of pumpkin chocolate cheese cake which was very tasty. Rich, creamy and way more calories than needed.

A really special place. Food wonderful and feel is one of a kind. Had the Reuben and the Kale White Bean soup . Both were outstanding. I think they make the Thousand Island . I want it on everything.

Chicago vegan legend. Reuben gets all the love but the truffle melt really, yes, melts my heart. Seitan wings are amazing starters and the peanut butter shake is the best end to your vegan junk feast.

Finally get to try this place! Even the delivered food is impressive. Had the Thai chili wings , yummy! My bf liked his truffle mushroom loafer too. Will dine in next time for sure.

Everything is good here! I would recommend the pizza popper appetizer . You'd NEVER believe it's vegan . The salted caramel milkshake is also divine. ????

With an extensive menu of food and drink, the friendly staff can cater to all of your comfort food fantasies, and even make it a bit healthy along the way. Read more

The buffalo wings were some of the best buffalo wings I've ever tried - and I'm a meat eater who loves wings ! Tastes amazing - you won't even know it's not chicken !

The food here was great . Got my non-vegetarian grandfather to try the veggie ribs and he liked them! They were delicious along with the ice cream and black bean burgers . Must walk through the kitchen

The spicy Buffalo-style wings are to-die-for, and the creamy soy shakes are truly delightful. Also awesome: the biscuits ‘n' gravy , tempeh Reuben , chicken-fried steak , and cookies-and-cream cake .

Loved it...and this is coming from a definite carnivore! Had no idea I walked into a vegan restaurant , but I'm glad I did! Food and service was top-notch!

Looks like a classic American diner but serves vegetarian and vegan versions of comfort foods such as reuben sandwiches , country-fried steak and even a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. Read more

I think is my favorite vegan restaurant ever! Loved everything I had here. This location is more cramped than the other one but it's across the street from Roscoe's!

Great place for a carnivore to take a vegan ! Delicious food, do not go expecting it will taste the same as meat, go and explore how good vegetarian can be.

Meat Free since '83! Almost everything on the menu is vegan ! You can't go wrong with anything, but try the roasted veg polenta , grilled portabello or caprese sandwich . Don't forget dessert ! Yum!

The Radical Reuben is to die for. Idk how they make that seitan taste so good. The relish is the best you'll ever have.

My favorite restaurant of all time. Some of the "fake" meat items like the rueben or the gyro are better than their "real" counterparts. I'd definitely recommend the desserts and the shakes , as well .

The Chicago Diner is a haven of meatless dining. Truly tantalizing to the vegan sect are their non-dairy desserts like black forest , cookies and cream or lemon cakes . Read more

Fantastic vegan comfort food . The cookie dough peanut butter milkshake is a must! Concocted from soy milk and corn ice cream goodness.

Seriously meat free but couldn't tell. The gyros was great! Nice small selection of craft beer . Crowded but loved the diner atmosphere. Nice servers.

Start off your day with a well-balanced meal at The Chicago Diner! We’re pretty enticed by their “soul bowl”, which features quinoa , sweet potatoes and your choice of tofu or eggs . Yum!

Planning a party and need a fab cake , but need to accommodate a range of food allergies in your group? The bakery here can deal w/lactose-, nut -, and gluten-free requests & make it pretty and delish!

I had a salad from here that seemed to take a while BUT when I got my salad I started to wonder if they hadn't plucked the vegetables fresh from their own garden . SO FRESH and delicious!

The Reuben is my all time favorite sandwich . Best food in the world. This is also one of the top vegetarian restaurants in the whole country !

The radical reuben is SO GOOD! The vegan milkshakes are also absolutely amazing!

All the desserts here are complete vegan . Featured on Unique Desserts . Must try the orange lime raw vegan cheesecake and cocoa mousse cake !

I always get a shake to end the meal, no matter how full I am! The peanut butter cookie dough is one of my favorites

The titanic burger is the best burger on the menu! For brunch the scrambled tofu and cinnamon rolls are the way to go!

A vegan/veggie friendly restaurant in Lakeview, not far from the GAYHOP. They have (v) burgers , (v) shakes , even beer . Busy on weekends so call ahead.

I would move to Chicago for this place. Ate here 3 times in one weekend. Rueben was the best, followed by bbq ranch salad .

The shakes , Reuben , country fried everything, everything is good. Make sure to get the mac&cheese

Good variety on menu.. Good service . Place is a lil seedy, grimy tho'.. Time to wash down & paint the interior & walls. Milk carton sitting out unrefrigerated.. I doubt the glass shelves get washed..

Amazing veggie comforts! Try the buffalo chickün wings and wash it down with a Vanilla Chaï milkshake . Amazing service by beautiful people!

Vegan shakes and fries are amazing. It's easy to spend a more money than you plan on here, but you won't be disappointed

The brunch menu is great. And the vegan Dagwood is fabulous!

My favorite go to spot when I'm in Chicago. Best vegan Reuben in the world!

Some of the best vegan fare in America. The vegan buffalo "wings " are a must-try - better than real wings , and that's coming from a carnivore!

Ask for the Dagwood. It's not on the menu any more, but it's amazing! Get it with cheddar cheeze.

Vegetarian & Vegan , place has great comfort food and awesome brunch . Great drinks - beer , wine , smoothies , specialty drinks .www.veggiediner.com

so many breakfast options i thought i'd said goodbye to once i went vegan . everything is wonderful!
