Sad this Location Closed!

I will miss the downtown Dallas location - always a great spot to meet with friends. Comfy, cozy, and lots of natural light.

But the food!! The spot in Dallas when it comes to vegan junk food. The best diner pancakes and their nachos are AMAZING.

Yes yes yes! It’s a must!

You can tell that most items are made fresh and are special to the restaurant. It’s a bit expensive but totally worth it. And the staff is beyond nice and friendly. Glad I stopped in and I would come again in a heartbeat.

Pros: The pancake , The vanilla ice cream, The nacho cheese and special sauces

Cons: Expensive

Delicious food

Ordered bacon burger with potato salad and a gf pancake and side of tofu scramble. The pancake was flavorful tasting like there was cinnamon in it. They do not have maple syrup though- only agave. Tofu scramble was very tasty and flavorful. The burger was great- super filling.

Pros: Tasty food, 100% vegan

Cons: Pricey, Not many gf options

A must visit for DFW vegans

Spiral must be the most well-known vegan restaurant in Dallas. There is also a Denton location. I highly recommend the nachos - it’s difficult for me to stray from them even while all the options! Downside is that this is a popular place and parking can be finicky. Also beware that the dining room will be full if you go during lunch or dinner.

Sassy satiation via a plant-based sapientia.

Vegan comfort food. No outside dining. Available parking, including on nearby streets.

Great vegan restaurant but would have been better not near closing time

Made a reservation here for 8.30pm and I came in earlier and saw they were closing at 9 due to low staff.
It took about 5-10 minutes from when I got seated to order my food. After that it was 8:45 when I got served my dinner. I had a taco salad and home fries. It was so delicious although I’d say the fries are more like potato gems than traditional French fries.
I felt a little rushed to eat and get out by closing time but the food was really good.

Pros: 100% vegan menu , Great range of different food, Delicious southern food that was all vegan

Cons: Felt rushed to eat, Wished the fries were French fries

New Favorite Restaurant / Diner

I got the fajita quesadilla with a side of home fries! I LOVED the veggies inside and my boyfriend got the patty melt with a Beyond Patty (i wish he got the classic burger patty they make homemade so we could’ve tried something new, but we will go back!). We are recent vegans and going to this restaurant and seeing all of our old favorites was HEAVEN💗🌱 The service was great and i loved the diner atmosphere. Also food 10/10.

Pros: All vegan menu, Loads of options, Can make reservation

Cons: A tad expensive , Pricey sides, Parking

Vegans must not miss this!

Just occasionally, you come across something so perfect you can't explain. For us, this was it! Lovely friendly staff and an absolutely huge menu. We went 3 times in 4 days, twice for dinner and once for breakfast and everything was simply delicious. If you're a fan of simple but delicious food, big portions, lots of choice, and guaranteed quality, then visit!! For dinner we walked in both times, and for breakfast/brunch on Saturday we had a small wait of 15 minutes. No complicated booking systems - just walk in. As someone else also mentioned, it's just opposite the Lee Harvey Oswald boarding house which is cool. We've moved on from Dallas now and already miss Spiral!

Pros: Huge menu, Friendly staff, Reasonable price

Cons: Very busy for brunch on weekend - had to wait

Plenty to choose from

I wasn’t blown away by the food here but that certainly doesn’t mean I wouldn’t return. I love biscuits and gravy so naturally I had to order that regardless that it was dinner time. I also ordered the lumber Jack and a pancake just to try different things. The pancake was good. Had a cinnamon taste that I feel went well with it. I also enjoyed the tofu scramble and bacon. The sausage patty wasn’t really good to me or was the biscuits and gravy.

Food good, people snooty

Don’t really get a very warm feeling in this place. I guess it’s not really necessary they’re just serving my food but I like it when people are friendly.

Pros: Good vegan options not all vegan junk food, Nice restaurant lots of windows

Love this place!

Spiral Diner never disappoints! Every time I come to Dallas or Ft Worth, I have to go eat here. I always end up getting a to go order as well for lunch the next day. The food is amazing! Even my nonveg family and friends whom have gone with me likes it. I really need a spiral diner in Austin area! #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan, Delicious, Variety

Cons: Little pricey but worth it, Not one closer to where I live 🤪

A charming little diner

I'd first heard about Spiral Diner years ago and knew I'd have to visit if I ever got to Dallas. It's an unassuming little building, but inside is a large, airy space. If biscuits and gravy are on the menu at a vegan place, I have to have them. The biscuits here were really dense and crunchy but still pretty good. My boyfriend got a breakfast taco that was very light and tasty. We also got home fries because, again, you gotta have them. The service was friendly, if a tad slow (but then they were busy).

And for you history buffs, it's just a few blocks from the rooming house where Lee Harvey Oswald lived. (I live in DC, so I love this sort of thing.)

I would fly to Dallas just to eat here!

The food was fantastic. Totally vegan. My husband had the Festivus sandwich & I had a great bowl. The dessert was amazing. The vegan nacho appetizer was sooooo good. #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan, Tons of options , Cool atmosphere

Cons: A 5 hour trip (but worth it)

A MUST for any vegan

A must every time I visit Dallas. I’ve had brunch and dinner here and everything I’ve ordered has been amazing. My non-vegan boyfriend loves it- especially the brunch. He raved about the bacon- says it’s the closet he’s had to the real thing. #Veganuary

Pros: Everything tastes great , Cute diner atmosphere , Lots of items to choose from

Amazing😍

I had the Mac & Cheese, the Festivus (special holiday sandwich) and the cookies & cream milkshake and everything was delicious! I almost couldn‘t decide what to get because they had so many great choices. The staff was very friendly too!

Pros: great choices, very friendly staff, priced accordingly

Cons: none
