"“Meat free since ‘83” is the slogan at this venerable diner, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in April. The restaurant, which has also had a location in Logan Square for a decade, serves vegan and vegetarian spins on comfort food classics such as a Cajun black bean burger and a gyro featuring housemade seitan and vegan tzatziki. Come before 3 p.m. daily for brunch dishes including a country benedict with seitan sausage gravy. There’s also a full bar serving cocktails and vegan shakes." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
