Super awesome Vegan/Vegetarian food! I loved the Diablos . The have the best chorizo and tofu on them. The rice and beans were a perfect addition. I even added cheese and avocado it made it delicious.

Erin Pierce Haymond

black bean maduro , vegan collard greens , and housemade ginger-turmeric vodka lemonade were all ????????.

Drea Alexander

AMAZING vegan food ! If it's brunch , Biscuits and Gravy with Blackened Tofu or the French Toast . Buffalo chicken wrap is awesome! #vegan #whatveganseat

Chicago Tribune

The sloppy joe 's sweetly spicy barbecue sauce will get your face just as satisfactorily messy as it did at summer camp . The tangy sandwich ($9.25) comes with a side and a pickle . Read more

Bloody Mary was pretty good. Biscuits and gravy were phenomenal. My friend had an Old Fashioned and said it was one of the best he's ever had.

Blackboard Eats says "Why aren't avocados fried more often? This gets center stage: crispy tender taco filling with crunchy cabbage slaw , salty queso fresco , and creamy ranch on soft, warm tortillas .

Ryan

Oh my gosh you can't go wrong pretty much. Food is approachable veg friendly pub food on the surface u til you really read the menu and have a few things and realize how refined it is.

PureWow

With an extensive vegetarian menu (veggie chili cheese fries , anyone?) and plenty of options for the carnivores among us, everyone leaves happy.  Read more

Kai Johnson

Great bloody and an amazing omelet with pears ! Friends greatly enjoyed the vegan options .

Amy Graff

So hit or miss. Drinks are tasty, potent, and inexpensive and the vegan food offerings are some of the best in the city , but servers and bartenders are stretched so thin and wait times can be long.

Jackie B

The best micheladas , menu full of decent vegan and vegetarian food and nice staff . Get the fried pies or (enormous) chocolate cake for dessert .

Marie H

Get a table in the patio to enjoy the warm nights of Chicago summer. A great spot in Damen ! Delicious food and a large choice of cheap beers !

Kim

They make a mean Bloody Mary ! Also, you can't beat the Turkey Tea on the patio . Some of my veggie favorites: Chili cheese fries and the buffalo "chicken " wrap .

Heidi Henry

Stopped by while visiting from PHX. Excellent options. Even non-vegans loved their food.

Nauman Noor

Good vegan food at gear price. Love the breakfast menu , though on late afternoons, the background music can get a bit too loud to have a friendly conversation.

PureWow

Admit it—your life needs more smoked Gouda . This Chicago hot spot’s creamy mac and cheese is coming to the rescue. Read more

Sarah

Awesome place with tons of vegan options in Wicker . The Diablos were awesome. Definitely try to get there in time for brunch !

Lani Love

Fav dishes are Black Bean Maduro for dinner and Pepita Scramble for brunch . If you eat seafood , Shrimp & Grits and Blackened Catfish are also fantastic.

Harper Reed

Ask for Paige. Tell me Harper sent yea.

Zach M

Love the blackened catfish . Great dish. Quiet , secluded backyard patio great for summer evenings and fall afternoons.

Danielle

Seriously awesome spot for vegetarian food . The chili Mac attack and nachos are amazing.

Kerry Nevel

Chiliquilles are very good. Done traditionally w/sour crm, raw onions & beans. Tortillas did not disintegrate. HOWEVER; served w/one egg ?? Ask for an extra egg .

Kevin Dudley

This was a great place for a Lenten lunch . The Green Meanie was very good vegetarian option for a meat eater.

Jan W.

Nice vegetarian restaurant with a good selection of beer . Try the kale salad and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale .

Debbie

Fried avocado tacos are Delish. It's the number two ordered item on the menu for a reason!

Aubrey Boonstra

Try the black bean and chorizo nachos . It's a huge mound of vegetarian deliciousness. (And the fried avocado tacos as dinner )

Manoj Ambalavanan

Incredible veggie options and menu. Nashville chicken was delicious and will be returning!

Madeline Gullett

Vegan food ! Great casual restaurant for vegans . The broccoli and "chicken " wrap were great

Kip Stevens

Try the vegetarian , chili , cheese fries ! #Mmmmmm. Just far enough away from the cray (6 corners)!!!

Marcus Derencius

Vegan and vegetarian food . The fake chicken wrap is super delicious.

Stephanie Y Cavazos

Perfect warm alternative to the Vegan Mac Attack Chili - FYI ????????

Kate Schaffer

Eggs Diablo and Pepito Scramble are my brunch favs. Can't go wrong with either!

Jennifer Ribble

This place has the cutest back patio ! They have a bike parking that is accessible through the back alley. They also do have fish tacos .

BigTab R.N.

BBQ seitan sandwich is amazing! Cool vibe, great posters, pseudo-punk music , requisite drunk guy @ the bar @ all times ;) Avoid gouda mac 'n cheese , though-it's totally flavorless

Kyle Crum

Black bean maduro has been my favorite for years.

Jess S

Sunday Night Special FTW: $10 for a shot of tequila , a Tecate and two delish fried avocado tacos . Yesssss.

Eva Richardson

Get your French toast cooked a little longer if you like crispy toast . Also the orange is to die for.

iSapien 1956672

I get the blackened catfish w/garlic mashed and collard greens everytime, wash down w/any one of the Unibroue beers depending on the season.

Josh Wood

Bloody Mary was excellent. Great vibe in the courtyard bar .

Matt Johnson

Best veg meal in the Midwest. Fried pickles , Mac and cheese and buffalo wrap . Insane.

Kim

Bloody Hammer. Do it. The Green Meanie is great too. Very nice, chill patio .

Try the Salmon Cakes - Wow! Great summer special. Baked beans & potato salad make it like a picnic BBQ

The Sloppy Joes is so delicious!

Fantastic donuts. The Lemon Pistachio Old Fashioned and the Buttercream Bismark are my favorites. This place is the only one that rivals Doughtnut Vault for me. They also partner with Popular Pays. - Jen Marquez Ginn
