Ok food, interesting vibes.

We got a few things. Honestly, the Cesar was a little lackluster, and my sandwich could’ve been better! But I hear they have Mozzerella sticks, and that’s very exciting. In a pinch late at night I would go here again😄

Pros: Vegan bar

Cons: Small

Black Water Fodder

I ordered the brunch special--Beyond chicken fried steak with country gravy, hash browns, and scrambled JUST Egg with cheddar. It was heavy, but enjoyable--like the music being played.

Tip: Park on a side street to avoid parking fees.

Pros: all vegan, big portions, animal videos on TVs

Great greasy bar food

If you need a delicious burger, big greasy pike of fries, some wings, fried pierogi, etc., this is the place to go.

They have a severely underrated brunch that is never crowded. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Delicious Bar Appetizers

I'd recommend just getting a bunch of appetizers, as they're all great. I loved the Mac and cheese and the buffalo wings!

Always awesome

I'm pretty sure I've left a review before but HC wants more! I've been here a billion times and have tried the entire menu throughout the years. Everything is awesome. I miss the choose your own adventure brunch but the brunches are still amazing. The new mozzarella sticks aren't as deadly hot as the old ones, though I liked the house made (deadly hot) cheeze better. Regardless, I will continue coming here, eating the new mozzarella sticks, and everything else, as long as I can ❤️

I love the vibes and the food is top notch.

The plant based vegan food was and still is some of the best burger and fries I’ve had anywhere in the Portland area. The local beers and mix of drinks along with some amazing appetizers makes this place a gem!

Pros: Everything is vegan, Its real good, Do you drink

A highlight of our trip!

So glad we got out of downtown to try out Black Water! The Philly sandwich and Mac n Cheeze were delicious, with a good portion for the price. The fries were similar to McD’s. The overall atmosphere is fantastic if you’re at all into punk. I wish i could’ve caught a show there! Black Water Records (just a few blocks away) was also really cool.

Pros: It’s punk, It’s vegan, It’s cheap!

Chili Cheese Please

Their chili cheese fries are out of this world! The bleu cheese dressing seems homemade and is excellent. We ordered delivery so I cat speak for the official location, but the food travelled well.

If you have a sensitivity to black beans, avoid the burger patty.

Pros: Cheese sauces/dressings A++

The chili cheese fries!!!

Burgers are great. Wings are phenomenal. But those chili cheese fries keep me coming back!! We eat here regularly, sometimes in house, sometimes pickup and eat at home, but always happy with our food. The "chicken" sammie is super delicious too. Good selection of beers on tap if you're eating in. Friendly and helpful staff. Bring your vax card because they check but that's awesome because it makes eating in a lot more comfy knowing everyone is vaxed.

Pros: Great burgers, Good atmosphere

Cons: Smaller place

It’s a winner

Excellent food, good beers on tap. If you’re looking for a place in the Hungry Tiger vein, this is your spot—and all vegan to boot! Also obviously it’s a great thing that they require vaccinations, like just about every place in the city. Is that even controversial?

No regrets

This was a pretty nice place with some real punk vibes. When going here I new it would be a bar style restaurant and the food was exactly what I expected for that. Out off all the things I would say the Mac and cheese could have used a little more flavor or sauce. Felt like it was just missing something.
Also ordered the vegan wings and they had a good taste, but slid right off the sugar cane “bone” so had to eat each one in one go.

Over all the burgers were good and I would def go back again.

Pros: All vegan, makes life easy, Some items fully made in-house., Lots of options

Cons: Little pricey for the style of restaurant.

I’d give it another shot

Went here with a group of 4 other people. Food was really good and servers were pleasant enough while ordering, but then 3/5 meals were delivered and after 10 minutes we were still waiting for the other two. When politely mentioning to one of the servers that we were still waiting he defensively said, “I didn’t take your order!” Then one person in our group had to awkwardly point out that he had in fact taken her order (but honestly why did that matter?) he said, “Ok, but I only took YOUR order.” It was an odd reaction and we weren’t rude at all, we just wanted to get our food. My husband then had to remind the server what he had ordered and it seemed like the order had not even been put in yet. I get it, places get busy, things get forgotten. What I don’t understand is pointing the finger and being defensive and offering no apology whatsoever. Perhaps it was an off night or the server was new and overwhelmed. I’d give it another shot because the food was good and I enjoyed the atmosphere.

Pros: All vegan menu , Good prices , Enjoyable atmosphere

Cons: So/so service

Hidden gem 🤩

So many tapas options if you’re in the mood to snack and drink. Or if you’re looking for a full vegan meal they gotchu! Service is amazing and friendly. Thanks again for more full vegan joints. 💗

Pros: 1000% vegan, Cashew cheese is DANK
