No Vegan Options - Jan 24

No vegan options- the server did offer to make the mushroom toast vegan, but there are no vegan options on the menu.
Really cool place otherwise 🤷🏼‍♀️

Big menu change

Relaxed atmosphere. The wait staff is nice. They used to have vegan chicken and waffles and other items.

Pros: No vegan options, No vegetarian options

They started serving Booze and bailed on the vegans

A few lunch options, but NO DINNER FOR YOU if you are vegan, unless you can drink it.

Pros: A few good lunch options

Cons: No dinner options, They used to cater to Veagns, no more

No longer many vegan options

No longer has as many vegan options. Disappointed they have not updated the menu to accommodate vegans more since the pandemic.

There was once many options that my friends and I enjoyed. Would return if the menu were updated.

Yeah this is really disappointing because pre-pandemic they were even doing “vegan vednesdays” and the options they had were really good but apparently they are moving in the wrong direction.

Variable, but typically great

The menu changes frequently, and I have found that the vegan options can range from okay to epic. The downside is that if you discover a favorite, it may not be on the menu next time you go.

Some of my favorites have been the vegan chilaquiles and the fried green tomato sandwich. The latter was a fantastic sandwich -- full of flavor, and one I couldn't easily recreate at home.

Pros: Unique vegan optioms, Flavorful!

Cons: Very mediocre fries 🙁

Sooo good!

Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu and the staff are knowledgeable about swaps/options. The chicken and waffles at brunch is delicious (and so is the dinner), but if they're busy the often run out of stuff😒Try the vegan biscuits and gravy too!

Pros: delicious

Cons: they sometimes run out of vegan options

Good food and great atmosphere

We loved the food, and had to split four meals between us because there were way too many vegan options we wanted to try! We loved all of them and all the left overs!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very friendly staff , Laid back fun atmosphere

Cons: Long waits during peak times

Excellent food

From the same chef that created the epic diner Golden Harvest, The People’s Kitchen has awesome food! There are only a few vegan options, but they are all delicious. The vegan biscuits and mushroom gravy are my favorite. Even has vegan chikn and fries for kids.

Pros: Excellent food for a variety of people , Clearly marked vegan options, Daily specials

Cons: Somewhat small menu, Only a few vegan entree choices

Not as vegan-friendly as I'd expected

This is the second time I've eaten here. The first time was for lunch and my friend and I had vegan options from which to choose. The dinner menu has virtually nothing but a salad which can be made vegan, and I received that with feta cheese the first time around.

Pros: Nice atmosphere and staff.

Cons: Virtually no vegan options on the dinner menu.

Good food, long waits

Came here with a few friends, but what we thought would be a quick brunch turned into a whole afternoon! I had the vegan biscuits and gravy and a vegan waffle with fruits! I haven't found a vegan biscuit and gravy that resembled the ”real” thing and although these weren't what I was looking for, it was still pretty great for $4! The waffle with fruit was literally just that... A waffle with fruit! This item wasn't on the menu but I was really expecting some kind of preserve or fruity syrup so it was kinda just eh:/ At the end it wasn't too expensive, but it was just such slow service. Don't know if I'd go back but if you're looking for something new it is a nice little change in East Lansing
