Wow!

How unique! A diner with a multitude of food options for vegans! Was visiting the Battleship NJ in Camden and decided to try the Colonial Diner. So many vegans in South Jersey rave about it. I had a cheese steakless sandwich. It was delicious seitan on a hoagie roll with lettuce, tomatoes and onions. The meal included soup and dessert. Soup was a tomato vegetable and was tasty. We ordered onion rings as well, which was a great for this vegan. My husband had penne pasta with sausage crumbles, peppers, onions and mushrooms. We both ended up with takeout containers from so much food. Dessert was a raspberry cake....perfect. What a treat to be able to have so many options at reasonable prices. It will definitely be our go to place when visiting the area.

Pros: Big variety , Delicious food, Huge portions

Cons: None

Fantastic

Not only are the vegan options substantial (1 page of a 2-page menu), the portions and prices are better than any vegan place I've ever been.

Great vegan options!

My husband had the vegan chicken parm sandwich and I had the tofu avocado quesadilla. The outdoor dining area seemed short staffed and the servers were also busing the tables and running inside and out to deliver the food. The service was a little slow, but our waitress still delivered top notch customer service and the food was outstanding. The quantity of food was generous, plus the meals came with vegan soup and a vegan dessert . We ate way too much, and still went home with more that enough food for at least one more meal, and maybe two! Restaurants are really facing challenges right now, but these folks still delivered outstanding food and good customer service, plus good social distancing. Overall, a great experience.

Sooo good

We ordered the seitan poutine and the setain wings. A lot of care was clearly put into making the food, and there's quite a bit of food for the money.

Even the Chef went Vegan!

This place was the closest suggested spot on the app to my location at the time. I’m so glad we checked it out! They have an entire Vegan friendly menu! I had the Poutine, which was deliciously out of this world with the homemade BBQ and seiten, and the onion rings were on point. I was even able to be up-sold for a delicious dark chocolate with raspberry Vegan cupcake even though I was full! The onion rings were also on point. It was also a real treat to have VEGAN Taaziki dip!! I look forward to my next trip there.

Pros: Lots of Vegan Options , Delicious and huge portions, Very friendly service

Amazing food

My boyfriend and I went here, as it’s been our goal to find all of the best places with vegan options in our area this summer. They have a whole page of strictly vegan options with smoothies and loaded fries and all kinds of amazing entrees! Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a laid back spot for late at night!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great service , Food was ready quickly

Get the cheesesteak! Sooo good!

so good! Nothing really disappointed except the cornbread.

Pros: Cornbread isn’t that great, buts it’s vegan!, Pesto salad dressing was yum! (Only vegan one), Potato salad was worth it!

Great food and they have deserts!

My friend and I just came from there and had the seitan poutine, "cheesesteak" gyro, and the bbq 'beef' sandwich. For desert we had vegan tapioca pudding and strawberry cupcake. They also offered a chipwich and brownie that we did not get.

The poutine is enough for 3-4 people. The sandwiches were of good size and very filling. The meals also came with French fries and a cup of cabbage soup. The soup was really tasty and I could have made a meal of it if it were served in a bucket.

My friend had a glass of vegan wine. They have a few varieties of vegan wine.

The server was wonderful, and the person who I believe is the owner was very nice answering our questions.

I am so glad there is a place relatively close by with a variety of good vegan food.

Pros: Great tasting food, Large variety, Price

Amazing selection & price

Vegan food is always usually limited and pricy at non-vegan restaurants. Even at vegan restaurants! For ~ $14 each you get a soup, entree, and vegan dessert. We were given free coffee as well. The selection is incredible (see photo). Will def return

I’d give it 5 stars if the app would let me!

Great diner experience with many vegan options! And dinner includes soup, a glass of wine, and dessert. They truly cater to vegan needs. They also have breakfast and brunch options not listed on their website.

So. Much. Food.

We went there with a big group. They were very attentive, one of the owners came out to talk about the stuff they’re working on (breakfast dishes). The food is absolutely great diner food. Their corn bread is delicious, we even asked for some to take home. Meals come with wine, soup and dessert, but they subbed the wine with smoothies for those who wanted. We ended up packing most of our food to take home because it was just too much :-)

Pros: Big vegan menu, including desserts, Great service, Diner with vegan food, who doesn’t love that?

they have tofu now!

New menu with vegan -vegetarian section. Not a huge section but enough to be satisfied. Had the Greek goddess salad with tofu and it was delicious, could have absolutely been made vegan without the parm cheese and a dressing swap out (not 100% sure if the dressing had eggs or dairy but it was delicious)

Pros: new vegan section, they have tofu!

Classic South Jersey Diner with Veg options

A friendly waitress greeted me and showed me the Vegan/Vegetarian option page in an extensive diner menu. They had a respectable selection of dedicated veg options, and a menu that can be adapted to veg. I ordered the Vegan Power Bowl and it was awesome! Greek-inspired with quoina base and sautéed and fresh veggies, hummus and pita slices.

Pros: Friendly modern diner , Respectable veg options , Very good food

Cons: No plant-based milk for coffee???
