Spiral Diner & Bakery

"This Lone Star original promises the best plant-based comfort foods. Homegrown favorites like quesadillas with vegan cheese cozy up next to vegan Frito pie and an assortment of burgers with pick-your-own patty options, including soy, cashew-quinoa, or Beyond Burger. The brunch and all-day breakfast menus are downright tantalizing; as a bonus, the funky diner interior is a wonderful place to hang out." - Courtney E. Smith, Alaena Hostetter

"Spiral Diner is a vegan spot located in Near Southside. And while Magnolia Ave. has no shortage of great restaurants, Spiral is a quirky destination that works for a casual lunch or dinner no matter where you fall on the vegan-to-carnivore spectrum. Their pickle-and-mayo sandwich on two buttered slices of Texas Toast is their most famous menu item. It comes with the option to add on peanut butter, which is a choice that you—and only you—can make. Beyond that, they also do vegan burgers, hearty wraps, and desserts." - emily smith

"When Amy McNutt opened Spiral Diner, a vegan diner and bakery in Fort Worth, in 2002, a lunch counter was a lower lift than a more formal space." - Jaya Saxena

"Spiral Diner is your classic nostalgic diner with a twist — it’s vegan-friendly. Oh, and the decor is way more swingin’ ‘60s than car hop ‘50s. All the greatest hits are here, from vegan barbecue to pancakes to Frito pie to nachos. It also has rotating specials worth stopping in to try." - Courtney E. Smith
