We passed by this place last year when we were traveling and so it's been on the list to try for a while. We finally made it back to SLC and finally got the chance! As others have stated, they were out of a lot of things. My husband and I were both interested in trying "chicken" options of which they were out of. Little bummed but we got a BBQ burger and grilled cheese instead. The food was good, the grilled cheese was so creamy and flavorful. The fries were good, definitely salty if you are into that sort of thing. Online it does state they share the space with a music venue so we went knowing this but weren't quite prepared for the level of noise this would mean. Luckily it only lasted about 15 minutes but it's quite jarring, so if you have noise sensitivities you might want to come prepared or skip this place. Overall it was a cute experience, I'm glad we got to try it but there wasn't anything super special about it. I am glad to see a vegan option but have certainly tried better in the area. Vegetarian options: Vegan options! Parking: Lots of parking near by, some is paid but many spots are also free 2 hour parking.

I really don’t like to give bad reviews, especially to places that are highly rated, but I feel obligated to be honest. Our experience was pretty bad when it came to our food. We arrived for dinner and were notified they were out of their mozzarella sticks and sausage. It was disappointing as most of the items we wanted to try, would be served without the sausage or the substitute was just more tofu. For appetizers we ordered the fried pickles. These were extremely salty, and over cooked so the pickle themselves were dry and more like chips with way too much batter. It was simply too greasy and salty for us to even finish it. Per the entrees we had the chopped cheese sandwich and the chicken and waffles. The waffle was super dry, and crumbled into pieces whenever you cut it or even pinched it with the fork. It was almost like a large cookie more than waffle. The chicken was also not great, with the seasoning on the protein just not tasting all that great. Some of the spices were too overwhelming and it did not compliment the sweetness of the chicken and waffle plate well at all. The chopped cheese wasn’t too bad, but the filling was mostly lettuce and bread. The protein was good, but it just wasn’t enough of it to make the dish worth it. The portions were also pretty small, so we left feeling pretty hungry and not satisfied. Perhaps this was an off day, after all we were the only people there the entire time we had our meal. Most reviews are good, and their offerings seem good at least on paper, but nothing in our meal was satisfying. There was also nothing distinctive or different about this place, other than the dark ambiance of the restaurant itself. It was average and there wasn’t anything unique about it.

Fun and cheeky atmosphere in this restaurant. Pairs well with all their Vegan food. Been twice and the chef has come over to serve the food once and comment on a change in order that had to be made - nice to see a personal interest in not just their work, their customers as well! There's also the social justice component that makes the feel that they do care about the community / people. Vegetarian options: Actually VEGAN options!

This is an amazing vegan restaurant. We had their burger and garbage hash. They were really good, we left our plates clean. The star of the meal was the sundaes. The sundaes are Awesome!!! I highly recommend them. Next time I'm in town I'll be back. Vegetarian options: The whole menu is vegan.

Apologies for the bad photo, but after spending breakfast time with my family in a non vegan-friendly place I was really hungry and started eating the French toast right away. Besides the French toast, I also had pancakes with chocolate sauce and peanut butter and both were delicious and very well prepared. The service was great, and everything arrived very quickly. The restaurant has a dark/casual atmosphere and decor that I think is really cool. I wanted to try other dishes, but I was feeling full after the pancakes and French toast. I would definitely go back to this place next time I visit Salt Lake City. Really recommend to vegans and non-vegans!

The only reason why it does not have 5 stars is the service. I called the order in and the guy asked me three times if I could just order online. I told him that the system was down, because it would tell me that they were closed. I asked him if it was ok to order over the phone and he said "yeah I guess. It is just easier for us if you order online". When I picked up the food there was not a single customer there. However, focusing on the food. It was really good. The spicy chiken was not spicy at all, but I understand that not too many people can handle their spice. The mock chiken was really good and the fries were ok. My friend said that her sandwich was a little dry and that she should have gotten a side of ranch. As a place to eat Vegan food. If you can look pass the service and how dark the inside is, it is a good vegan option place to try out. I hope they fix the service, because everything else was good.

I was so excited to try this place based on the great reviews. It’s not always easy to Find good vegan places in the states so I was pleased to see this vegan burger bar. Sadly I didn’t reach my expectations at all, first off all when opening the box I found some hair in between the burger , don’t need to tell how disgusting that is. Eating the burger after removing the hair is off course already a bummer. Besides that, the taste of the burger was not what I’m Used to from other vega burger places like True Food for example. The fries were not so special, same kind of taste as in N out except that there was more pepper on it. I hate to write a bad review for places like this that are doing a great job to promote vegan food but it was really nothing special and the hair ruined my whole meal.

Stopped by for some late evening dinner fare. Ordered fried pickles as usual- delicious. For my entree I enjoyed an off-menu sandwich item, but was required to proclaim an oath of secrecy to seitan. It was delicious and I will never stop dreaming about this one-time devilish treat. I was really hoping to give this review 666 stars, but unfortunately the lights in the dining room were so bright I thought I had died and was approaching heaven. Since that isn't likely, I presume that the light bulbs are just too intense for my dark side. The food and service were very good, everything I would want from a meal. Would definitely eat again.

This is not only a great vegan restaurant but a great restaurant in general. I don't shy away from eating meat but try to eat vegan every now and then and this place makes that insanely easy. The value for fried pickles is also insane. Love it. We tried several entrees and not a one disappointed. The only thing I wish was improved is the soft drink selection. That's it.

My husband and I were in town for the weekend. As long time vegans we had to check out Mark of The Beastro. Incredible food, and unique atmosphere. A must stop for any heathen who needs a break from the norm.
