Vegan Wings

The vegan wings were good. The wait time was cool. The atmosphere was cool. The seating outside was cool because the sun was shining and the weather good.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere

Cons: Getting the check

Great late night grub

We were craving vegan cheesesteaks after a soccer game at the Linc and so we identified and zoomed right over to Triangle Tavern. We had their vegan cheesesteaks and vegan wings and they did not disappoint.
Great spot for vegan food and late night grub.

Impressive Vegan Versions of Classic Bar Foods

Triangle Tavern lives up to its name in offering a typical tavern or bar experience. That said, this place is definitely known for its fairly wide variety of vegan menu offerings, a very pleasant surprise! As you might expect, the best items to get here are definitely the classic bar food or comfort food options. The mock chicken Parm over spaghetti, for instance, is a great rendition of the traditional dish that's sure to bring back some childhood memories. Honestly, I'm tempted to say it was a little bit bland, and could maybe use another herb or vegetable such as spinach…but I don't really think that's a good criticism of this dish as it is meant to be simple and indulgent. I also really enjoyed the mozzarella sticks, which hit home for me as they were always my go-to kids’ menu order when I was growing up. It's a notoriously hard dish to veganize, what with the emphasis on that sloppy dairy “cheese pull” as they call it nowadays, but even without that it's a very satisfying (and less messy) version of the appetizer. Part of Triangle Tavern’s commitment to their vegan menu includes rotating special menu items as well, though these can be a bit hit or miss. I recently tried the zucchini hoagie and found it to be a mixed bag; I loved the core concept of fried zucchini on a hoagie roll with tofu based cheese, as a lighter take on the classic sandwich, but found the use of whole stalks of broccoli rabe made it physically difficult to bite into it without getting slapped in the face by the big, stringy vegetables. Nothing a little bit more polish and iteration couldn't fix, however! The biggest drawbacks of eating here are mostly tangential to the food, namely, it's in an out of the way location that's mostly residential and has few other distinguishing landmarks to get you out here, and the atmosphere inside is very dark and noisy. I suppose that this is, once again, a typical feature of a tavern experience, but it's definitely something that makes me less likely to visit--even if the food arguably is worth the pilgrimage! Oh, and did I mention they also serve dessert? We got a slice of vegan cheesecake, and it was wonderful. Made in house unlike a lot of vegan places so don't sleep on their dessert menu!

Pros: Many Vegan Options, Great Comfort Food, New/Rotating Vegan Items

Cons: Dark/Noisy Inside, Out of the Way Location, Some Ambitious Items Might Need Tweaks

favourite vegan Philly Cheesesteak in Philly with healthy veggies to boot

I loved it here. Stellar vegan philly cheesesteak and loved that it had a side of spicy broccoli. I bought a good appetite and left satisfied. Friendly service.

I had the vegan Philly cheesesteak at Monster Vegan yet was more hipster. Cool Monster memorabilia there yet felt it was junk food vegan and not too many vegetables which is not my thing. Vegetable forward please. Healthy and tasty vegan food please. That is why the edge goes here for stellar vegan Philly cheesesteak with plenty of veggies to pair it with that were tasty.

Amazing ambience chock full of 76ers memorabilia from WIlt Chamberlain, Allen Iverson, Signed photos of Sylvester Stalone, Danny DeVito, Kobe Bryant in high school and much more. Ambiance is awesome. Food is stellar.

Worth checking out! Especially good if you or someone is vegan dining with someone who wants regular non-veg Philly Cheesesteak. You can catch two birds with one hand and set them both free.

Pros: tasty vegan Philly cheesesteak, healthy veggies and friendly service, awesome ambiance and down to earth vibe

Great for salty, unhealthy deliciousness

Definitely not a place for the health conscious, but if you are looking for delicious vegan sandwiches, pizzas, and specials, this is the spot. My son is obsessed with their vegan mozzarella sticks, and I love their vegan meatballs and vegan pizza specials

This place is definitely a philly vegan staple. They have a variety of vegan options and regular options. They take bar food to a new level. Be sure to keep an eye on the rotating specials!

Seinfeld on the TV and a vegan cheesesteak - nothing better

This place has the best vibe, along with decent enough beer and a great vegan cheesesteak. It’s very “what you see is what you get”, probably my favorite of the vegan cheesesteaks I’ve hunted down around here.

Fantastic & plentiful

This place is a perfect dichotomy of old-time charm (built in the 1930s) and modern menus (the chef is vegan!). We enjoyed the vegan seitan wings - best I've ever had; a vegan BBQ tofu Bahn mi sandwich; vegan cheesesteak; house-cut french fries. My omni husband had non-vegan muscles with linguine. We were all so satisfied! I can't wait to enjoy more from the menu.

100000% Yes

Absolute yes. Delicious food - I could eat the whole pie, mozzarella sticks, and another half of a pie cause it was damn good. Wish I had this place where I live because I’d be ordering from here WEEKLY. Would’ve loved to try the whole veg. menu. That’s all.

One of the best non vegan places

They have plenty of options and specials for typical American bar food that are deliciously veganized! The vegan wings are amazing, vegan cheesesteak is so tasty and I just had their special (hot sausage cheesesteak) and man it frickin hit the spot! Good fries, good beers, good vibes.

Pros: Variety/number of choices, Fun specials, Vibes

Great bar food!

I didn’t make it in person, but ordered via Doordash two nights in a row! The wings were amazing - possibly the best I ever had. My omni bf loved the mozzarella sticks and the chicken parm and cheesesteak sandwiches were both delicious. I hope to make it to the physical location next time I’m in town!

Best Wings Ever

A great menu with almost everything vegan. We had an order of the Chickn Wings and they were TERRIFIC. It came with two sauces, Buffalo and Country Sweet. I haven't had Country Sweet since we left Rochester NY!

Everything else was excellent. A Sunday Brunch breakfast pizza, Eggplant sub, Vege burger.

We need to go back to try the cheezesteak and other goodies.

Pros: Great Menu, huge, delicious portions, did I mention the wings?

Good and not just because I had the munchies

A late night tavern with well curated vegan options. A perfect place for dining with omnivores to have options for both parties! Delicious food, i'd recommend the vegan buffalo pizza and vegan moz sticks!

Pros: Open Late , Omnivores and Herbivores Coexist

Best Vegan Cheesesteak in Philly

Vegan wings are scrumptious, but it’s the Vegan Cheesesteak that does it for me. It’s currently the best in Philly…

Lots of vegan options

Husband and I got wings, pizza, Salisbury steak burger and fried artichoke hearts. The artichokes were a special, but omg they were so good that they should be a permanent menu item! The pizza and wings are always good here. My husband really enjoyed his burger (which was also a special I believe) #Veganuary

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Top tier vegan bar food!

Tirangle Tavern has been one of my go to places for years, and they are still coming up with shockingly good vegan specials, in addition to the menu classics. My standard order is the vegan roast beef, which is made with dripping marinated seitan, topped with thier in house "horsey sauce," I usually add some broccoli rabe for a full South Philly bar food experience. That said, they always have at least one vegan special going, and each one seems to top the last. Case in point, the Dusseldorf pizza that's on special right now (December 2022). Beer mustard cheese, beyond brats, saurkraut, and mozz, it's incredible. The annual vegan gobbler is another must have.

Best Vegan Cheesesteak

I finally got to try the best vegan cheesesteak in Philadelphia (or at least that was what I was told.). Similar to what I remember as a child eating this signature Philly sandwich.
Reasonably priced and tasty.
