Good food! - Edit
Loved that I was asked if I wanted a vegan or regular menu as soon as I arrived. The vegan menu has fantastic options, and I found everything delicious. Do yourself a favor and get the mushroom fingers- I’m not a huge mushroom fan, but they were delicious! The vegan burger seemed to be a house-made black bean burger, grilled. Super delicious. Very fair prices too!

Home Made Vegan Options - Edit
They make their own burgers, cheese sauce, and dressings. For a restaurant that serves meat, they offered an above average amount of vegan options.

THE best place in JC for vegan dining! A full vegan menu that includes appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, and dessert! Their vegan fried "chicken" sandwich is amazing. And if you are blessed enough to encounter their pina coloda cupcake...get it!

Great Vegan Menu - Edit
Mid City Grill is known for it great burgers, but for us who don't eat animal products, they have a whole menu devoted vegan food! I had thr portobello sandwich on a vegan pretzel bun. It was the best sandwich I have had! Service was not just excellent, but our waiter made it fun!

We concur…highly recommend! - Edit
My husband and I ordered takeout on our way to Roan Mountain to do some hiking and birding. We both got the Philly cheesesteak and fries. (We skipped the vegan mayo.) Both were hot and fresh and delicious. We don’t eat fries often so when we splurge we want them to be fresh cut and fried right. These did not disappoint. Double fried and crispy. We would definitely stop here again if we are anywhere near Johnson City.

One of our favorites in tri cities region - Edit
A restaurant with a full vegan menu! I've been going here for couple of years now and have noticed their vegan game taken up a notch. Besides having a full vegan menu, they have a weekly vegan special. Here are some of our family special - vegan fried chicken sandwich, vegan Philly cheese steak, garbage fries for sides and gravity burger.

im from up north and... - Edit
Their vegan menu is of a decent size and that's a blessing in this area. I was skeptical about getting a Philly cheesesteak because prior to going vegan I'd had "philly" cheesesteaks around here and they're usually not good. That being said, the seitan philly cheesesteak I got was better than any cruelty based cheesesteak I've ever had in my life. Everything about it was delicious! The mayo was amazing, the cheese absolutely blew me away in terms of flavor and consistency but, of course the seitan was the star of the show. It's taste and texture is exactly like shaved beef minus that unpleasant chewing you'll get with pieces of gristle. The fried banana peppers were so good- you have to try them and the ranch they come with is stellar. Their fries are also very tasty and my brother and fiance said their burgers were incredible and the best burgers they'd had in a really long time. I specifically heard the words "better than beef". The prices aren't bad at all imo and they deliver. Both the patient representative on the phone and my driver were very nice as well. Was delivered in a very timely fashion despite the pandemic and it being Christmas time. Basically, they're awesome and I can't recommend them enough.

Vegan Comfort Food - Edit
What a great place in an area with little choices. A whole vegan menu. Had the fried pickles. So good. Make sure you get the vegan ranch for dipping. They goofed on mine at first but corrected it. Had the Philly Cheesesteak and it was yummy. Cheesy. Messy. And tender. Just like it should be. Had the garbage fries. It’s a must. Messy and cheesy. Like it should be. Would come again if I was in the area. Highly recommend!!!

My go to place for vegan food - Edit
I love Mid-City! They have a separate vegan menu which is awesome. Their saucy sauce and homemade ranch is out of this world! They do have beyond burgers if you prefer that but I like their homemade vegan burgers better. The panko breaded portobello is a the appetizer I usually go for. Definitely a must if you’re visiting JC!

5 stars! - Edit
I'd definitely give this restaurant 5 stars if that were an option (only vegan restaurants can be rated 5 stars on HC).
Read moreIt's a small, cutesy diner and I loved that about it. They were playing awesome 80s music. My husband and I really enjoyed that.
We ordered unsweet tea (which was very well made) and started with an app of vegan garbage fries. These were the best vegan chili cheese fries I've had in my 10 years of vegan food. And the ranch is good enough to eat all on its own.
My husband ordered the vegan big sexy with a Beyond patty and it was delicious. He also got a side of fried banana peppers and they were quite a treat.
I ordered a salad and it was good but I probably won't get it again. There wasn't much to it. I would have been happier with a sandwich or burger and a side salad. Regardless, I'm still very happy with our experience.
Pros: Great service!, Separate vegan menu, Amazing vegan ranch!

Best vegan burgers ever! - Edit
An entire vegan menu is more than most vegans dream of getting in most omnivore restaurants, but this restaurant goes beyond just having more than a few vegan options to prepare amazing tasty vegan options that match or exceed the offerings of hi-end vegan offerings. The food isn’t fancy—it’s mostly vegan burgers with various additions to make a wide array of flavors—but everything is cooked nicely and served up with a variety of sides (fries, sweet potato fries, salads, and more. The space is simple and homey where families, singles, and couples all dined together companionably. The great thing about a restaurant where everyone can eat together and well regardless of diets is what we need more of if we are going to convince others that vegan isn’t weird or strange or foreign. In a perfect world there would just be vegan restaurants, but until that day restaurants like this one gives us all a great place to eat together.

Finally! - Edit
So glad I finally checked this place out - it's so nice to have a whole menu just for vegans! The place is pretty cool - BYOB & Johnny Cash/Patsy Cline playing in the background. Food is very good - not super healthy but c'mon. We all need vegan garbage fries every now & then! Service was great & the Oreo cheesecake was delicious. I will be back!

TO Die FOR - Edit
Mid-City Grill is awesome! First of all, really grateful to have a place in Johnson City where I can get amazing vegan options on a regular basis. The grilled tofu sandwich is my favorite, I could literally eat it everyday. Super large portions (especially the hand-cut fries!) so definitely worth the price. This is not a chain restaurant, but they have all the perks of one including online ordering. The only thing I hate is that they only open evenings to early morning so I have to go somewhere else for a lunch option. Staff is super friendly and I always get great service for both dine in and take out. If you are a vegan in the Tri-Cities, Mid-City Grill is a MUST!
Read morePros: Friendly Staff, Generous Portions, Food is amazing!
Cons: Odd Hours, Wish they made vegan dessert too!

UPDATE: Mid-City is adding limited time additional vegan dishes on rotation including a Memphis smokehouse vegan burger, vegan Aztec burger with green chile, and a vegan Philly cheesesteak. Plus, new vegan desserts including cheesecake, fried apple pie, and cookie balls. Check out their facebook to see the dishes available on rotation.

late night vegan option - Edit
I've had both the marinated tofu sandwich and the Unburger- both were good! The Unburger was served with a pita and a bit hard to eat as it didn't hold together very well. The tofu sandwich had tons of great things on it- avocado, sprouts,lettuce and tomato. Tons of fries with both. Not a fancy place in the least- friendly staff. Lots of fried bar food- most of menu is meat also- but not bad to have 2 vegan sandwiches and a tofu salad in this area!

Love this local spot! Lots of veg options! - Edit
As a vegan, I am so thankful to have Mid City in my hometown. They are one of the only locally owned restaurants that offer vegetarian and vegan options.
Read moreWe also get the tofu sandwich and fries. They fry all the vegetarian and vegan food separate from the meat to respect everyone's dietary needs. The tofu is seasoned and cooked to perfection and the tomato bun in always amazing. The house sauce is vegan and delicious. They have a maybe one other vegan options and several other vegetarian options... Lots of vegan starters like fried pickles, banana peppers and my fav-- the fried mushrooms.
Every now and then they even offer a vegan dessert. Hoping they bring that back or make it a regular staple.
It's a very casual spot more focused on late-night dining.. You can bring your own alcohol. Staff is always friendly and fun. Good value- large portions. Would definitely recommend stopping in or getting take out. They also deliver.
Pros: Vegan & vegetarian options, Fry and cook meat away from veg food, Local, independently owned
Cons: Needs more vegan options, Needs a vegan dessert every night, Atmosphere is just okay
