Vegan White Chili is good! - Edit
Service: 5/5, Quality: 5/5, Value: 3/5
Read moreVegan Options: 2/5
Short version: the vegan white chili is good but is your only vegan option.
Longer version:
Service - Service is great. The staff has always been friendly whether it's the first time visiting or not.
Quality - I love Vegan White Chili which is good for anyone regardless of whether or not they are on a plant-based diet. Excellent flavor. We also come here with friends and family who order other things and they generally seem to enjoy their meals.
Value - Yatz is average if you order single orders. Portion sizes are fair for what you pay. I do recommend getting the quart size though and splitting it / having it for leftovers.
Vegan Options - There is one option (vegan white chili), and it is clearly labelled. Call ahead to make sure they have it. They almost always do but sometimes they might run out.

Call ahead to make sure vegan white chili is available - Edit
I really love the vegan white chili. I give three stars instead of four because:
Read more1) vegan white chili is the only option. It's not always available, so you have to call ahead unless you want to be disappointed sometimes when they've run out and you wasted a trip
2) rumors that the butter on the bread isn't vegan. Employees state it is, but this is a persistent rumor and seems nobody really knows for sure
3) portion shrunk significantly during COVID. We used to go here constantly, but during covid the portions became more and more rice, and less and less chili. A good ratio is 50% rice and 50% chili. The final straw was when my meal was 85% rice and 15% chili.
Now, we only order it by the pint or quart. This ensures you get equal amounts of rice and chili. Order a single portion at your own risk. And ask about the "vegan(??)" butter on the bread before you order.
Pros: Vegan white chili is yummy, Can order by pint or quart, more $$efficient
Cons: Sometimes it's 85% rice, 15% chili 😠, Butter on bread may or may not be vegan, Sometimes chili is not available

One option. - Edit
Only has white bean chilli. Not that great. Served with rice and bread with butter. I heard the butter might not be vegan.

Cheap, fast, and yummy - Edit
The one vegan option, vegan white bean chili is very good. It is warm and has great flavor. Just wish they had more vegan options. But the price can't be beat, under $10. The parking is pretty limited though.
Read morePros: good flavor, large portions
Cons: limited parking, only one vegan option

Flavorful - Edit
Yats has very limited vegan options but what I did order, the vegan white bean chili, was full of flavor. Wish there were more options as they do a great job with seasoning.

Large portions and vegan options every day - Edit
Yats serves large portions (always get the half plate! It's still too much food!) and offers something vegan every day. My only complaint is that sometimes the food gets a bit monotonous. That said, Yats is a great option and it's nice to have something for reliable, fresh, cheap vegan eats.

Yummy! - Edit
I love this place so much, and the location on College Ave. is perfect for the Broadripple area. My first true love here was the Spinach and Mushroom Etoufee. It's creamy and spicy and just amazing with the bread they serve on the side. I have since moved out of Indiana, but every time I come back to visit, I HAVE to go there for more. Next time, I'm buying a lot of it to freeze and keep for a while so I can get my fix whenever I want.

Super delicious! - Edit
Love, love, love Yats! They have various options that change daily. They always have a vegetarian option, but not always vegan. The B&B (black beans & caramelized corn) and Spinach & Mushroom etouffee are veg, the Succotash and Vegan White Chili are vegan. One time the B&B showed up under the non-veg section, and I asked why, and they said they used chicken stock that day. I definitely appreciated their honesty! My faves are the B&B and Vegan White Chili. Vegan White Chili is rare on the menu, but if they have it, definitely get it! Super yummy. Downside is that this place is super small, and seems a bit dirty at times, but I love all of its character. I took my mom there once thinking she might be a bit freaked out by it, but she loved it also. She was also impressed by the owner. They had just recently stopped accepting credit cards again, so I didn't have cash, and the owner told us to just pay him back next time we're there! My mom has some cash on her so we were still able to pay on that occasion, but I always hear the cashier say to newbies who don't have cash that "we accept cash, checks, and IOUs." It is super affordable to eat here, you get a huge plate of food for under $6. I usually take half home with me. Whatever they put on the bread is ridiculously delicious, but not vegan, so if you're vegan ask for no butter. The downside to Yats is that they rely on styrofoam cups and plastic cutlery for even dining in.
Read morePros: Ridiculously delicious, Cheap, Honest when it's not veg
Cons: Small, Sometimes needs a bit of cleaning, Styrofoam cups, plasticware

Yats - Edit
Yats has very good dishes-some veg/some vegan. Once when we went to the Broadripple Yats we ordered the vegetarian dish and on the board it said some kind of sauce was in it. We asked the owner what that meant and he said it had anchovies in it. So we asked for our money back and the owner asked us "What will happen to you if you eat it." If it isn't vegetarian then don't market it as that. Hopefully he stopped adding that sauce to the vegetarian dishes. Aside from this 1 bad experience they have tasty dishes and good service.
Read morePros: Service, Tastes good
Cons: May not be 100% vegetaria
