Great spot- vegan menu

Lots of vegan options on their vegan specific menu. Perfect outdoor patio that is dog friendly.

Glad they have a vegan menu

Not a lot of great vegan options in Columbia so we were happy that this restaurant made the effort to create a separate vegan menu that has more than just vegan one burger on it. We were joining some non-veg friends so it was nice that everyone had options to choose from.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and though they ran out of vegan cheese and cauliflower bites, they were very apologetic and made some suggestions for alternatives.

The cocktails were pretty basic. Nothing to write home about.

We tried the Tofu Poke Bowl, Tofu Crunch Wrap, a couple of different burgers, and the Plantains. Overall, everything was pretty bland. They definitely need to work on the flavors, sauces and seasonings. It’s great to have tofu, but if you don’t season it, it’s pretty boring.

Overall, I would recommend this place if you’re looking for something to please a large group with varied dietary needs/preferences, just plan on asking for some extra sauces, etc on the side to brighten up your meal.

Pros: Separate Vegan Menu, Friendly Staff

Cons: Ran out of vegan options , Bland food

Great spot for the whole family

On a road trip looking for something for all of us, including the dog. There is a kids menu, a vegan menu, a dog menu, and a drink menu. Do yourself a favor and stop by whenever you can. The indoor and outdoor decor is awesome, the waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable about ingredients, and the food is amazing.

Vegan menu

Ask for the vegan menu. It is separate. Often out of items but willing to substitute for beans, tofu, etc.

Brunch with friends and family.

Went on Sunday. The only vegan option? As the beyond burger. It was good! Whole wheat bun, some lightly toasted. They did well. I was just disappointed there were no taco options on Sunday.

Pros: Tasty, Beyond burger

Cons: Limited menu on Sunday brunch.

Full vegan menu, bland food

It's nice that they have a vegan menu, but the food was pretty bland. The table was supplied with a few in-house hot sauces though, so that helped add some flavor.

Pros: good options

Cons: bland food

Don’t do Sunday Brunch

Was excited to try a taco spot with a vegan menu but made the mistake of going on a Sunday. Very limited brunch menu and no one at our table raved about their food. Sides were clearly ready-made food put together. Disappointing

Pros: Beyond burger , Ample seating

Cons: Mediocre food, Sunday menu is limited

Great food and atmosphere

This is one of my go-to’s for inexpensive tacos and beer. They have a great deal of $10 for 2 tacos and 1 side or $20 for 5 tacos and 2 sides. They have a wall of beers on tap (always amazing) and offer suggestions of what beers to pair with your tacos. There’s only one tofu option, but they allow you to substitute tofu for any meat taco. I prefer and suggest sitting outside whenever possible and when it’s busy because it can get a little loud and crowded inside. It’s a bit dark indoors, but totally worth the price. Solid location as well.
