Nice brunch spot - Edit
We stopped here for Sunday brunch and got a burrito, crunchwrap, mimosa, and milkshake. All delicious - just wish the milkshake were a little bit bigger😉The place seemed busy but we didn't have much of a wait at all. It was fun to sit outside on a nice day and people-watch the restaurant, record shop next door, and everyone else.

Absolutely Wonderful - Edit
On a road trip with my Omni Dad, we planned to go to the Loving Hut in Reynoldsburg on this stop. Dad decided he wanted a burger instead so I hit the app and found this place. We both had the breakfast Sammie on Texas toast and decided right then we had to come back for dinner. Great food, reasonable prices, and very nice people. Later that day we went back and I had the chicken parm and dad had the breakfast burger. I can still taste the breaded tempeh in the parm which was a perfect sandwich. Seriously considering moving to Columbus for this place. Accessible diner menu, all vegan, right downtown. There’s a record store next door too. Had to move my top 5 restaurants in the country around to accommodate this one.

insanely good. can’t wait to go back - Edit
this place is so good!!! my bf (a meat eater) and i were passing columbus on our way to hocking hills and stopped in for brunch. we got the french toast sticks, breakfast bowl, one blueberry pancake and one lemon lavender pancake. the lemon lavender pancake was much too sweet for us both as it had lemon and lavender icing on top. i also wish the pancakes came with vegan butter. butttt everything else was so amazing that we came back for dinner on our way home from hocking hills!! we got the nashville hot pizza, the bacon grilled cheese, and a strawberry milkshake. everything was once again so delicious but the pizza really blew our minds. it was definitely the best vegan pizza i’ve ever had. my bf loved it all so much he told all of his coworkers about it the next day lol.

Mid-tier - Edit
It was my first time in a fully vegan restaurant, and while I was at first overwhelmed with having a full menu to choose from for the first time in about 6 years, I was later underwhelmed by just how mid-tier the food was. If you've used just egg, morning Star Farm's chorizo crumbles, and other popular store-bought vegan substitutes, then you've already tasted the food here.
Read moreI tried their stuffed crust pizza. The veg cheese is pretty good. Maybe violife or follow your heart? I didn't care for the breading. It falls apart easily and is very... fluffy? I prefer a dense crust and a toasted bottom to my pizzas.
Tried their americana(?) burger but with bacon. It tastes like a standard fast-food burger, and while the bacon neither mimicked the texture or much of the flavor of bacon, it had a pretty good smokey flavor, which is nice. :)
Fries were eh.
I went there the next day to give it a second shot. The French toast was really good! So was their chocolate milkshake. The chorizo in the chorizo omelet sorta overpowered the more subtle flavor of the justegg, unfortunately. It was still pretty good, though. I really liked the sauce they put on it, too. 10/10 sauce.

vegan omelet - Edit
This restaurant blew me away with their incredible omelette. The filling was so delicious and flavorful, and the texture was just right. Every bite was a delightful combination of savory and satisfying. I also loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, with its cozy and welcoming vibe. The staff were friendly and attentive, and made my dining experience extra special. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious and satisfying food, regardless of dietary preferences.

Amazing food, even better service, awesome amtosphere - Edit
I tried 4th and state for the first time the other day. I ordered takeout with friends, and tried a bit of everything. A pizza, a burger with loaded fries, some french toast, and a signature vrunchwrap. The variety here is overwhelming but in every good way. The staff was so friendly! There was a service charge on the online ordering platform and when I asked what that went towards, when they told me straight to the staff I was impressed because lots of businesses keep their service charges instead of giving it to the staff. The desserts in the case stared me down. I highly recommend the chocolate chip cookies. And then the server asked if I wanted to add a milkshake and the s’mores was delightful! Probably my favorite vegan spot in Columbus can’t wait to return.

Hidden fees - Edit
I tried to order takeout on the phone while driving through Columbus, but an employee on the phone directed me to order on their website. After putting in all of my selections, I went to check out and was hit by a surprise 18% service fee. Since we already spent quite a bit of time picking a restaurant and choosing what we wanted to eat, we still went ahead and ordered. When picking up the food, I talked to the staff to see if the fee was a mistake, but it was not. Will not be ordering here again even though the food was good. I don’t like surprise fees at the very end of my checkout process.

I recently ordered takeout and experienced this as well. But when I asked the staff what it was for when they told me it went directly back to the staff I thought it was awesome! Being in the service industry myself, we depend on tips and service charges and I think what 4th & State is doing is amazing! A lot of restaurants do this and it goes to the owners/corporate. I agree the food was amazing!

Perfect Weekday Lunch Spot! Will Be Back! - Edit
I met a friend for lunch on Tuesday afternoon. The environment is festive with holiday lights and decorations and tons of plants. The floor plan was open and comfortable. Morgan was our server and she was very sweet and helpful. She made recommendations, told us our salads could come out early if we wanted them, and was very easygoing and friendly. We ended up staying 2.5 hours and the time flew by! It was a great experience and I will definitely be back!

Skip Chorizo, Get Burger - Edit
I got the Vrunchwrap and was very very disappointed. The Chorizo tastes exactly like TJ's: overseasoned and oversalted. You cannot taste the cheeze, vEgg, OR pico due to the overwhelming chorizo flavor. They would do better by their product if they mixed it with some PLAIN Beyond or Impossible (or honestly even tofu!!) to mute the intense chorizo seasonings and allow the customer to enjoy all the flavors within the crunchwrap (I mean, or just offer a wrap with no pico or cheese, since it cannot be tasted). I got the Jalapeno burger (for later), and even heated up in the microwave, it was DELICIOUS. However, the description states that the jalapenos are pickled, but they were fresh! So if you don't like the heat, ask for no jalapenos or pick them off.
Read moreHonestly, I was so hyped for this experience, but that Vrunchwrap totally soured my opinion of this place. The sour cream is watery and flavorless but that's not necessarily a bad opinion, I ate the $h*t out of it to dilute the chorizo. I also think they gave my siracha mayo on the side of my burger and fries and I dipped my fries in it but it wasn't good.
Pros: AFFORDABLE
Cons: No Chorizo!

Delicious Food, Delightful Staff! - Edit
We brought our friend who was extremely skeptical about vegan food here two weeks ago and it was such an overwhelmingly positive experience we are still talking about it! Our friend initially told us that he would only drink beer and didn't want to eat any vegan foods because he's not vegan himself. Our server was Maisie and she was absolutely delightful. She was good humored, helpful, patient and kind with our high-maintenance table. She made excellent recommendations for which menu items are most popular with vegan-food-skeptics and we ended up ordering a burger (which the kitchen helpfully cut into four portions for us to all share!), brussels sprouts, loaded fries, and a fo-sho pizza. She checked on us often and kept our glasses full and our spirits high! Kitchen worker Brandon also came over to say hi to us and he was a hit with our friend and helped him feel even more comfortable and happy being in a vegan restaurant! In the past two weeks, I've been back for the fo-sho pizza (it's SO good!) and our friend hasn't said anything skeptical about vegan foods and has even mentioned how nice it was to see "Brandon the vegan"! It was an all around positive experience and I highly recommend bringing any vegan-skeptical-friends here because 4th & State will change their mind about vegan food! In the past I've also had the Vrunch wrap and potato skins and those were also delicious. Whether you're a vegan, or you think you'll hate vegan food, 4th & State is a must-have for everyone! Thanks Maisie, Brandon, and 4th & State for being a gem in Columbus! We are lucky you're here!

Marianna Sauce - Edit
I kid you not once we went here and got “tomato soup” with our grilled cheese.. my partner and I noticed it was literally Marianna sauce. Feels like it’s only expensive because most of the menu items rely on faux meat and cheese processed and available at the grocery store. I do hope there is restaurant-sized Just Egg containers!! Really boring decor — I wish Columbus vegan spots would embrace ambiance a bit better. Despite all of this, I must admit — I was addicted to their regular Vrunchwraps (notttt the Tex mex one-!) and their stuffed crust pizzas came in clutch for me at many moments.

Excellent vegan comfort food - Edit
I have been vegan for almost 3 years and finding vegan food has been hard. I was happy to find this place. It was two blocks from my hotel. I went for brunch and dinner and everything was delicious. My family is not vegan but they love the pancakes, pizza, and chorizo wrap. The service from the waiter and chef was awesome too. I ate their chorizo, egg, and hash browns wrap, and it made me grateful to be alive and at this place. I also had the Texas burgers and was super tasty too. I am looking forward to the next time I am back at Columbus, Ohio
