Hurry & try before they close! - Edit
Very sad to hear they will be closing after Dec 22nd after being in this location for over 10 years 😟
Read moreFood is amazing - we had crab cakes & Nashville hot sandwich, which was a whole clump of oyster mushrooms fried - nice spice! Onion rings & crab cakes were so good. Wish I could eat here every day!

Dangerously delicious!!! - Edit
We tried all the happy hour drinks, margarita, Paloma, Moscow mule, and Negroni. All were great, especially the Paloma. The Mac and cheese was one of the best we’ve tried. The onion rings were huge and actually hard to finish. The spinach and ricotta lasagna had the perfect flavor combinations and was amazing as leftovers. Caesar salad with added blue oyster mushrooms was the best thing in Austin yet. The chocolate martini was the perfect ending to an incredible meal.

Great vegan food and atmosphere! - Edit
The Beer Plant is your "hidden gem" vegan restaurant in Austin.
Read more-The Cauliflower Bites were AMAZING!
-The Nashville Hot Pork sandwich was good. If you don't like fried, do not get this sandwich. It's very fried with fries or onion rings.
-Oreo Cheescake was WOW! Server said it's off the menu soon so go try it!
This is one of the top vegan restaurants to tell my guests at EV130, Tesla and COTA themed property in Austin.
Pros: Food, Atmosphere , Customers (looked like regulars)
Cons: Just learned about it 😉, Ordered more food bc it was good 🤣

Great tasting food - Edit
Came here on a Sunday evening and was very quiet. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I had the Mac and cheese to start which was delicious followed by their big bend bbq burger with a side of onion rings. The burger was great but I wasn’t expecting to be so impressed with their onion rings! Amazing stuff. Will be back for sure.

10/10, would eat here again 🤌 - Edit
Absolutely loved the food here! The Buffalo Cauliflower Wings were an outstanding appetizer! I got the Nashville Hot and Crispy sandwich, & my partner got the Tokyo Blue dish. We finished off with the Chocolate Gateaux. I would recommend this restaurant to every vegan out there.

I would choose this as my last meal - Edit
Title says it all. If I were on death row this would be my choice. The whole experience was SUPERB and each bite was somehow better than the last! I’m totally blown away by everything we tried, the atmosphere on a Friday night was warm and low-lit, felt like a classy spot even though its outer facade seems unassuming! My non-vegan brother and his girlfriend scoped this spot out for us and were raving about it long before our trip from Dallas even started. We were not let down!! Beer Plant did not only live up to the hype, it far exceeded it. We shared the Buffalo cauliflower wings as an app, my favorite dish at most vegan joints, but this one comes out on top - perfectly crispy & knockout sauce/bleu cheese combo! Drinks were creative and exceptional. I had the Crab Cakes (to die for), my table also ordered the Nashville Sandwich, Big Bend BBQ sandwich, and the Hillcountry Chicken. Every entree and side was spectacular and flavorful. I don’t usually order dessert when I go out but knew we couldn’t pass it up here, we loved the peach cobbler and Oreo Cheesecake, both delightful in their own way! Not to mention the service was top notch and the staff was kind and personable, they provided great suggestions on their menu and we enjoyed chatting with them. Completely worth the drive and the price. I never wanted that meal to end, and I already can’t wait to come back!
Read morePros: Everything., Stellar service & experience, My tastebuds wrote this review from heaven.
Cons: It is a lil pricey (but ABSOLUTELY worth it!!)

Also worth noting my brother is a big BBQ snob! The fact that he was so impressed with his BBQ sandwich genuinely speaks volumes!

Not what I expected - Edit
I thought this place would be like a brewery but it’s really nice inside. It reminds me of a whiskey bar, where you’d go in and typically nothing would be vegan. But instead, everything is vegan😄we only went for after dinner drinks but the food looked great. Cocktails were really good.. loved the mezcal old fashioned!

Scrumptious - Edit
If anyone says they think vegan food is boring, this place will prove them wrong. I've had great vegan food before, but this place has established a new standard. I ordered the wellington and my wife got the Tokyo blue. The blue potatoes for the wellington were exceptionally creamy. The pastry part of the wellington was flaky and buttery with an umami explosion for an interior. The mashed cauliflower puree for the Tokyo blue was equally as creamy as my potatoes. The method in which they utilized the oyster mushroom for the Tokyo blue was also bursting with umami and the right amount of grilled roastiness. Paired this all with a local Pilsner. Ordered the Oreo cheesecake for dessert and was not disappointed. The texture was a bit dense, but the flavors were on par with real cheesecake. The crust was loaded with dark chocolate greatness. My words cannot justify the brilliance that is this restaurant. #Veganuary

Nice little gastropub - Edit
We had the opportunity to dine at The Beer Plant this weekend for a celebratory dinner. I really enjoyed the crab cakes and the Tokyo Blue. The brussel sprouts are great. And save room for the chocolate cake. I don't live in Austin, so a return trip is unlikely anytime soon 🙁, but I thought the food and service were quite nice!

Great Boozy Brunch - Edit
We visited Austin for 10 days and chose to eat at a different vegan restaurant everyday. This place was in our top 2 favorites.
Read moreThe bartender was fantastic. She provided tastings of the keg beers, made pairing recommendations, and made a delicious vegan Bloody Mary,

Glad to see new dishes - Edit
They’ve revamped the menu somewhat (seems like more whole foods and less plant meat dishes), and we had some great new dishes, and the service was excellent, too.

Nice place. Mediocre food. - Edit
We've been here twice over the years. More recently, we went a few months back. It was not worth the price. It's a very nice place. Good wine. Very good mocktail. The food wasn't worth bringing home the leftovers. I didn't finish them. I agree with the other 2 star reviews. It's a nice place with mediocre food, not worth the price.

Cons: Food is mediocre to completely forgettable

It’s funny how someone feels the need defend a place. I’m merely critiquing my experience of 2-3 visits. This was the last one. I’m not saying it hasn’t improved. This is my critique. I stand by it.

yikes - Edit
Not sure how this place is considered top rated. I love supporting all vegan restaurants, but this one ain’t it. i’m unsure if they are actually trying the food that they are serving but it is not good. My boyfriend and I ordered the poutine, grilled cheese, and crab cakes for the main course. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cookies and the rose crème brûlée. The poutine…. not great. The fries were super thin and the topping literally consisted of a few vegan mozzarella cheese sprinkles and gravy. That’s it. It cost $14. It was bland and sad.
Read moreThe grilled cheese… barely had any cheese and was mostly made up of spinach? In fact, I love spinach but it was overwhelming. The bread was overly toasted and thin. Not filling at all. The crab cakes tasted good, but it only came with 3. There was a little bit of sauce underneath them and that’s it. The side salad had no dressing, if it did, we couldn’t tell. The desserts — the cookies were great, and we thought maybe things were looking up until we had the crème brûlée… I could taste lumps of corn starch in my mouth, and the crème was runny. My bf couldn’t finish it, and the man is a garbage disposal.
Service — we weren’t waited on for 10 minutes, they gave us the wrong beer menu, and we were never brought utensils or napkins, I had to grab my own. It just sucked. Overall, do not recommend unless you’re just going for the beer. The bill came out to $88 and we left hungry.

Good - Not a rave - Edit
Took a group of friends here and the staff was extremely accommodating considering we had a group of 7 (little more than a usual seating party here).
Read moreThe atmosphere felt like it was trying to lean more high end dining(dim lighting and higher quality plates/aesthetics).
Ordered the cauliflower wings app and they were a hit! Awesome taste and lightly breaded.
Ordered the 'Meatballs' app and they came out lukewarm. Seemed like maybe they were just a 'heat up and serve' kind of item.
One guest and I ordered the eggplant parmesan - tasted great!
Another friend ordered the Hill Country 'Chicken' & Gravy - was not a fan.. I tried it and it was too thick of seiten it was just very "meh".
The wife ordered the Truffle Grilled Cheese and it was great!
Two others ordered 'The Beer Plant Curry' and really enjoyed it!
Beer menu was great (a few local drafts)
Overall experiences was muddied due to just enjoying conversation with friends however, was really hoping for more out of this place considering how many raves I have seen via youtube and food sites rating Austin vegan food.
Will definitely go again for another try.
