Sunflower Drive In, where have you been all of my life?!
When I say that I've driven by this place a zillion times over the years, and I've never stopped to check them out, that even embarrasses me. Talk about a big mistake...
I was finally able to rectify my mistake, and had lunch here. This is without a doubt, one of the best vegetarian/vegan restaurants that I've been to in a long time. The variety on the menu is enough to keep me coming back for a very long time!
The nut burger. Yes, the most popular item on the menu, and after one bite, I get it. I truly get it. All I can say is that if I lived closer, I would be here all the time.
I ordered my nut burger with a slice of cheese and no onions. They do charge extra if you would like the onions sautéed. Each bite not only was better than the last, but each bite made my tummy happy. I don't know what magic goes into this fabulous sandwich, but if you haven't tried sunflower drive-in, what are you waiting for?!
Diners tip: ask for extra pickles. I wish that I had because they were so tasty.
We also ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that was without a doubt, ooey, gooey goodness. Seriously, damn delicious. The bread, the cheese, the melt, all grilled to perfection.
All dishes that they offer can be made completely vegetarian, or completely vegan. Just let them know. They are so super happy to accommodate everyone.
Seating is limited and is currently still outside. I noticed that most people had call ahead orders, and were picking up orders faster than a drive-thru. This is old Fair Oaks, and they are pretty pet friendly. So if you want your puppy companion to tagalong with you for a meal, no worries! They will enjoy the traveling chickens and roosters that old Fair Oaks is known for.
Everyone that works at the restaurant is super friendly, and their customer service is impeccable. Amazing food, reasonably priced, and your tummy will scream happiness! If you have not been to Sunflower, I'll say this again, what are you waiting for?!
