Tasty food with 3 vegan options - Edit
I had the tempura artichoke burger and fries. It was very flavorful. There were two other very clear options: the hummus platter which had some interesting spice additions and a tempura cauliflower platter. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed our dinner here.

Decent food, amazing drinks and atmosphere - Edit
If I were eating on food alone I would give them a 3/5. They are very pricy and they use beyond (doesn’t taste seasoned or anything) but the bun and dressings are good and they have vegan cheese.
Read moreTheir drinks are amazing. I don’t drink any beer or ipa because I hate the taste but theirs are so good. Literally the only place I will drink at.
They have an indoor restaurant and an outside beer garden. The atmosphere here is amazing and pretty unique for Monterey.
This is an awesome place to come to on a Friday night with friends.
Highly recommend if you are a drinker. If you’re coming for just the food I would skip over it.

Tasty burger and fries - Edit
I came here with my sister and her family. There are a few options clearly labeled. I went with the burger and fries, both of which were very good and super filling.

great burger and even better fries! - Edit
They offer a vegan burger on the menu! No substitutions necessary, which is awesome! The only reason I'm giving three stars is because it's the ONLY vegan option on the entire menu. I'm sure you could customize a salad or something else though. Highly recommend upgrading to garlic fries (just ask for the cheese to be removed) because they are amazing!!!
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Garlic fries!!! , Great beer selection
Cons: Pricey, Limited on options, Long wait times

I give it 3 stars, because they offer a vegan option. - Edit
Sometimes you have to deal with everyone not being vegan. Having at least a decent burger, is always a plus. It wasn’t the impossible burger, but I guess the beyond burger is the next best option.

Amazing for going with family - Edit
A great find from this app when looking for places for the whole family to eat when on holiday last summer (6 meat eaters, 1 vegetarian and 1 vegan meee). My dad loves small breweries and the food suited everyone’s different tastes, and being English, it was the first time I’d tried the impossible burger, so I was very excited for that and it didn’t disappoint. Obviously there’s not a lot of options, but the burger is pretty amazing. And the whole atmosphere and the service was fantastic.

Great burger, only option - Edit
The impossible burger is great, (and so is the Muay Thai beer!) but that’s about it for vegan options. Great spot if you’re with a non-vegan group so everyone wins (except the earth and animals haha).
Read morePros: Awesome vegan burger!, Great location/ambience
Cons: Limited vegan options, Expensive (whole area is though)

Not as good as I'd hoped. - Edit
Unfortunately, the Impossible Burger was overcooked and the veggies in the Rigatoni were way underdone. Also, she told us that they had two different vegan desserts; which they did not. It was super loud on account of all the drunks. I did like the garlic fries, though.

Yummy Vegan Burger - Edit
They offer the Impossible Burger here! They have vegan cheese and garlic fries as long as you tell them no real cheese on the fries. I don’t know f you can request the vegan cheese on it instead. The restaurant is in downtown Monterey which is a PRIME location. You can bar hop afterwards or walk to the warf. They offer beer here and cocktails! Service here was very friendly too.

Good Food & Service - Edit
Although this is primarily a non-vegan restaurant, they offered a few veggie options, including a burger and pasta. I went for the vegan ‘cheese’burger, which was actually quite impressive. I am usually not one for meat/cheese substitutes, but this burger was pretty good– very similar to the “real thing” both when it comes to taste and texture. The service was very good, we got our food very fast and the staff were very good at their jobs. It was, however, quite loud in the restaurant.

Tomato Rigatoni - Edit
Great flavor! The cheese was so good I worried it wasn’t vegan, great staff and for being mostly full the evening I went quick service. One of 2 options on the menu though- the Impossible Burger the other, lots of vegetarian options also.
Read morePros: Great taste, fresh season tomatoes, Helpful serving ;)
Cons: Wish there weee a few more vegan options, Very noisy

I really liked it. - Edit
There are two vegan options a vegan ravioli and a double vegan cheeseburger. I ordered both and I was pretty impressed. I think their house made double vegan patty with vegan cheese was my favorite. They also have pretty good beer and cider.
