Chicago Diner

The best vegan restaurant in the city. Vegan diners are scarce, so most vegans would be happy enough just to eat here, however, the food is delicious, and exquisitely prepared. The menu is abundant - the staff is friendly. Best chocolate cake.

I went on a Saturday night for take out. I got the gyro entree and the much talked about green machine salad. The gyro was quite tasty. A lot better than the gyro I had at Soul Vegetarian East. It came with some old and tasteless spanish rice and a pickle ( I know, right ?)The green machine salad however was totally disappointing. From the thick unappealing dairy cheese to the watery vinegar dressing, I definitely should have passed this entree up. I would not have even known it was a cilantro dressing except for the fact it had a green tint. So will I go again? Perhaps. But next time I'll definitely make sure the Halsted Street festival is not going on!

The meal came to about 19 bucks. I recommend any veggie to try this place out at least once.

This place is all about the Vegetarian if you are looking for something different. I am not a Vegetarian but I really enjoyed the food.The potato soup is awesome. The place is cramped but the food makes it worth while. Service was good and prices were OK.

During a quick trip through Chicago I stopped here. The food was very good and there was a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options. Unfortunately we had some problems with our food, which I'm sure was a rareity, but the service was great and due to the problem with our meal we recieved a complimentary dessert of raw apple pie which was delicious. I would highly recommend visiting this spot if you're in the mood for healthy vegetarian cuisine and fun atmosphere.

meat free since '83 is their slogan/motto!

this place is very popular and always bustling with business!
sometimes i feel it is too crowded and, with their popularity, they should look into a different-larger venue, just my opinion, though
the food is fantastic and be sure to pick up a cookbook of your own to recreate some masterpieces!
