The Wild Cow

"A veggie and vegan dream. This is where you go for inventive, delicious meals made with care using whole ingredients. Recent daily specials included Yucca and Peach tacos and Stuffed avocado with spicy seitan, spanish rice, red salsa and cilantro-lime crema. Most soups, stocks and dressings are made in-house from scratch; most produce is locally grown and much is organic. A percentage of proceeds are donated to a charity of the month, every month. Mondays are beer and (veggie) burger nights. For guilt-free grazing, smoothies and high-gravity beer in one spot, this is your jam." - Perky Bros

"The Wild Cow is a relaxed East Nashville institution for scratch vegetarian and vegan dining. Chef Ryan Toll’s menu also features tons of gluten-free dishes, including entrees like buffalo grinder salads, sweet potato and black bean tacos, plus a handful of gluten-free sides like garlicky kale, lentil stew, and mashed sweet potatoes. You’ll also find soy-free treats, cocktails, mocktails, and a lovely patio here." - Eater Staff

"The Wild Cow is another totally vegan option in the heart of East Nashville. A vegetarian dining mainstay for over a decade, The Wild Cow recently moved to the Fatherland District. Their buffalo Caesar wrap is the vegan version of a deli sandwich that tastes as good as it sounds. Consisting of buffalo tempeh, spinach, and lettuce greens, quinoa, sun-dried tomato, pumpkin seeds, sprouts, cashew parmesan, and house-made Caesar dressing, even the most devout meat-lovers would never know they were missing out on the real deal." - Delia Jo Ramsey

"Is this a traditional queso? Not by any means. But worth nothing for vegans: the ‘queso’ at East Nashville’s The Wild Cow. Their vegan take is a tapioca-based rendition that is soy-free and nut-free. It comes served with salsa verde and non-GMO chips. *Currently open only for takeout and delivery." - Delia Jo Ramsey
