I'll be going back soon for dinner

I just got back from lunch, and I'm thrilled and delighted this quality of veg and vegan options are available in rural southern Delaware. I ordered the French Lentil Salad with a small portion of the dressing (they referred to it as light dressing). I also asked for the vegan option with Caponata instead of goat cheese. It was fresh, flavorful, and filling - all I could ask for!

Pros: Many veg and vegan options, Attentive service, Warm, friendly, eclectic atmosphere

Cons: Nearly 30 minutes from where I live

Ask for the vegan/veg menu!

Really tasty dinner! Our waitress was fantastic and knew all about their vegan/vegetarian menu, as well as which specials could be made vegan. They even had a vegan dessert to finish up our meal😄

Pros: Whole separate menu, Lots of choice in a pretty rural area, Great ambiance

Cons: Kind of a small place, there might be a wait

Adorbs!!

We stopped by on a road trip because we saw seitan on the menu, and we were not disappointed! We split the seitan tacos and the seitan cheesesteak. Both heavenly, vegan soul food. Not healthy—but we weren’t looking for healthy food today. Tacos were yummy, messy, a little sweet, and good size. Cheesesteak was buttery, melts in your mouth, what a cheesesteak should be—so good! Were happy!!

Questionably vegan

We chose this restaurant for the advertised vegan menu however once there were only given the option of the veggie burger or a salad. I asked if the veggie burger could be prepared separately on foil or in a pan due to allergies and was given a rude dismissive attitude from the waitress. She finally did check with the chef and I received a dry tasteless veggie burger with no condiments. If you are going to advertise vegan please be prepared to properly cook vegan

Limited vegan options

Their website has a vegan menu posted but it was not available. 3 options available were veggie burger, tacos, seitan cheesesteak with no cheese.

Curry is good - do not get the Nashville seitan

Nashville seitan was awful. It was rock hard and very rubbery. I'm pretty sure the bread had real butter. Curry and the veggie burger are your best bet here.

Pros: Friendly staff, At least they try

Cons: May have served me dairy

Limited vegan options

While it’s great to have vegan options, they were limited. The cheesesteak is vegan only w/o the cheese. It would be nice if they had vegan cheese.

Service was good and staff was friendly.

Pros: Food, Service , Ambience

Cons: Little flies in the restaurant near our food, No vegan cheese

Lots of options and vegan substitutions

I loved this restaurant! They had a separate vegan/vegetarian menu with lots of great meals, including substitutions. I got the feeling that they really understand vegans and are happy to accommodate. I had their French Lentil Salad for lunch, which was unique, delicious and filling. It was a little pricey, but I was ok with that as I rarely eat out

Pros: Cool, boho chic atmosphere , Friendly, casual, genuine staff, Generous portions

Cons: Music was a little loud , A little pricey for lunch

Great for veg & non-veg!

Great options for everyone! My mom really liked the lemon shrimp bisque and we both liked the French lentil salad and the crispy eggplant tacos. Very cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. Would give it 5 stars if Happy Cow allowed it for restaurants that aren’t strictly veg.

Pros: Choices , Fresh, Creative

Cons: Not cheap

Great places!

We come to Ocean City every year. Love to see more places offering vegan options. We ate lunch here today and all of us really enjoyed our meals, especially our 6-year-old who absolutely loved his mac-n-cheese. Our waitress was great as well. We will be coming back to this place for sure!

Fantastic food & mocktails

Not only was the salad I ordered delicious, but there are multiple types of seitan and small plates, and multiple options for completely vegan entrées. My husband had the veggie steak and I had some serious order envy. Even our toddler devoured the vegan Mac and cheese. I was also excited to see the mocktails! Several options were listed and all were delicious 😋

Pros: Lots of options

Cons: Small seating area

Tons of Options

I got the Vegan cheesesteak and it was bomb! There were tons of other options for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores. They are also pet friendly so you can bring your puppers!

Pros: Lots of options , Great atmosphere, Outdoor dining

Many vegan options & friendly staff

This place is about 15 minutes from where we were vacationing in Ocean City and was a very pleasant surprise! Berlin is a cute little town with many boutiques and restaurants and the Blacksmith is right off the main drag with ample parking. The lunch menu had several vegan options that were clearly marked and the wait staff was knowledgeable and very accommodating. Lunch was so good we went back for dinner a few days later and enjoyed ourselves all over again. Would definitely recommend!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Reasonable prices, Restaurant deck was fantastic & pet friendly

Cons: Deck view was of the parking lot

Great Vegan options

Great local restaurant with multiple vegan options. My kids and I loved the veggie burger (no cheese, no sauce and sourdough bun). My husband enjoyed the samosas and handmade pasta. We will definitely eat here again. Ask for the Vegan menu. Its not online but it is available if you ask for it.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Several Vegan Options

We enjoyed our lunch at the Blacksmith. The server was very knowledgeable about vegan options. I ordered the samosa and also the roasted veggie tacos, the day’s special. Both were delicious and accompanied by lovely relishes. Other options were crispy eggplant tacos or sandwich and a veggie burger. I guess I need to return. Sadly I live 600 miles away.

Pros: Variety, Attractive presentation, Tasty food

Great spot in Berlin, MD

I was happy to discover (via HappyCow) this spot in the picturesque town of Berlin, MD. They are very veg/vegan friendly and are flexible with customizations. I had potato samosas, black lentil salad, and a roast veggie hoagie. All were very good. The waitress mentioned that they have “Meatless Mondays” every week including raw, vegan cheesecake. Mmmmm...

Pros: Very veg*n friendly, Meatless Mondays, Good location

No Beyond

Would have stopped here anyway because it has at least one vegan option. They don’t have the Beyond burger or crumbles. Had the vegan tacos. Interesting. Kind of sweet & sour ish, with capers. I think the cauliflower was cooked in butter.

Pros: One vegan labeled item!, Lots of veggie items.

Fresh, local, delicious

Although not a vegan restaurant. Blacksmith had many vegan options. Some that aren't labeled on the menu. Ask your server. The owner, Justine, is very veg friendly. The food veggies are from local farms and her homemade vegan burger is just delicious!! Another one of my favorite things about the restaurant is that there is no TV. And their out door patio is so beautiful. But beware that the fire siren is right above you. It's very loud!!

Local cafe with vegan options

A very nice and fun local cafe in the heart of historic Berlin. Vegan options (and vegetarian options that can be ordered without dairy) are clearly marked on menu, and you are likely to get more vegan options if you go on “Meatless Mondays.” Sometimes they have the Beyond Burger and sometimes they do not. We have enjoyed the lentil salad, vegetable samosas, roasted vegetable tacos, and a few other vegan items. They have a large selection of local craft beers, and also house cocktails and wine. A fun place and popular with locals.

Pros: Vegan options, especially on Mondays, Beer, cocktails, wine, Fun and funky in historic Berlin

Cons: Sometimes they are out of the Beyond Burger
