More vegan options than I expected! - Edit
Not sure why the previous reviewer wasn't able to get meat substitutes - they got vegan sausage etc on the menu. Also vegan shakes! It's not common to have vegan options at a diner so I thought it was a cool place😄Had the pancakes with strawberry chocolate and the chai.

Don't go here for vegan food - Edit
It ain't it. They just make stuff vegan by taking out the meat and not putting anything else good in it's place. Cool vibe but not cool for vegan food.

Cute place/nice employees.. but the food. - Edit
Everything in the veggie burrito I got tasted like it came from a can. It was okay, but nothing special.

not for me - Edit
My omnivore friends LOVE this place. Huge portions, funky dive diner vibe, hipster staff. Even with the best intentions to “veganize” my orders theres ALWAYS been a repulsive smell and taste of animal grease on my food. There’s a problem in the kitchen with cross contamination. I’ve had the same experience over multiple visits. I want to eat with my friends but Blue Plate is NOT FOR ME.

skip - Edit
I have been here several times and today I finally decided to write a review for vegan brunch. The service was fine but the food was horrendous. I got the tofu scramble with a side of vegan sausage and it was truly unpalatable. The tofu scramble was warmed tofu blocks (not even browned) with soggy veggies that looked like it had been sitting in soy sauce and on the side was this weird sesame ginger sauce. Why?! The sausage can be succinctly described as a puck of dry Gimme Lean sausage which we all know tastes like gummy cardboard. Way to be creative with that one. All in all, this place is consistently disappointing, if you want a diner experience go to Ruth's up in Emigration Canyon. The options are fewer but at least it's good.

Meh - Edit
I went here with family for breakfast once and didn't have a great experience.
Read moreFirst, we asked the waiter what on the menu could be made vegan and he pointed a few things out. My mother-in-law ordered a dish and when it arrived it came with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. We pointed out that eggs weren't vegan and asked them to re-make it. When it came out the second time the eggs were gone but it still had hollandaise sauce! The waiter obviously had no idea what was vegan even though he said that he did and recommended things on the menu.
I ordered the house-made vegan burger (it was labelled vegan) and it was just ok. Pretty bland and dry since it didn't have any sauce on it.
Overall not a great experience, I won't be going back.

order the bannana pancakes! skip the tofu scramble - Edit
Blue Plate Diner has a unique atmosphere with license plates from around the country hanging up. The staff was friendly and they have old fashion soda pop.
Read moreThe vegan menu items were clearly labeled and the staff was knowledgeable.
The pancakes were great and you can order them with fruit built right in. They also offer Earth Balance butter.
Only complaint, my husband ordered the "tofu scramble with toast", but it wasn't you're standard scramble, it was cubes of tofu with sauteed mushrooms and broccoli and an asian sauce on the side, and toast. Seemed more like a stir fry than an all american faux egg breakfast. recipe needs tweeking.
Pros: huge portions, classic roadside diner feel, many vegan options
Cons: menu lacks descriptions

Unlucky Breakfast - Edit
It might have been a freak unlucky occasion that the first time we were to visit this establishment, that our order ticket was somehow lost and we waited for over an hour for our meal as we watched countless others sit after us, eat and leave before we even smelled our orders. The owner came and apologized and offer to complete half of our meal and 30 minutes later we got our order. Our group included two vegetarians, two vegans and a omni and we had similar experiences with the final meal. The veggie plate and sma (spinach, mushrooms and avocado) Benedict were enjoyable for the vegetarians; they both finished their meals. But the vegan options were disappointing. I ordered the vegan pancakes with blueberries and it came with home fries. The pancakes were bland and undercooked despite the added fresh blueberries, while the homefries though a large portion were under seasoned. The other vegan dish was the tofu scramble with vegetables, which more accurately should be labeled tofu stirfry with vegetables. It was also a large portion with few cubes of tofu accompanied with a scallion soy sauce dressing, hardly a scramble and very much a basic stirfry. The waitress and owner did attempt to redeem themselves for the hour wait for our food with apologies and offering half off our meals but they miscalculated the check and since half of our group were mathematicians, we asked that they recalculate the check.

Vegetarian Great, Vegan not so great! - Edit
They have a few really good meatless options but nothing is absolutely fantastic. I love the hummus and pita bread. The vegetarian chili is also really good. For Vegans I would recommend the tofu breakfast burrito.

Bland and pricey - Edit
Bland. I didn't know it was possible to ruin a portabello mushroom burger. You've got to be seriously committed to not seasoning anything to make that inedible. My meaty friends love it, but from now on, I'll eat beforehand and just get a coffee.
