So I've been having a hard time finding vegan places where I can go out to eat -- most places are labeled "vegan friendly," which generally means that there are one-two offerings on the menu, and some of those are side dishes like French fries or steamed vegetables. THIS place: everything on the menu was vegan, almost all of it was made in-house, and all of it recreated favorite dishes with plant-based ingredients -- wow! I used to love Reuben sandwiches, and theirs was really remarkably good, by any standards! Instead of the chips that came with my sandwich (their chips are really good corn tortilla chips), I upgraded to a light summer cucumber salad, with cherry tomatoes and onions in a creamy dill dressing. Cleaned my plate -- everything was delicious. They even had homemade mango lassis, which I couldn't refuse. Tasted like rich mango nectar. Tasty! Service is at the counter, although they bring your order out to you. Ambience is clean, tidy and cool -- simple diner decor, with a tiny private side patio that let us enjoy the fine day, but was a bit noisy with loud cars roaring past. I'm so glad I discovered this place! I'm definitely returning. And they do take-out too, for those days I'm too busy to cook a from-scratch meal... read more

10th Street Diner - All vegan food. Chorizo chimichanga, chili cheese fries, Indiana fried tenderloin sandwich. - Vegan Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I was greeted when I walked in. The restaurant was cute inside with vegan decor. I went in for lunch but realized they had a selected brunch menu on the weekends. The lemonade was good. I was starving and ordered more food than I could eat. I had a spicy chicken biscuit (which wasn't spicy at all), side order of biscuits and gravy (VERY flavorful), and an order of potatoes. The potatoes weren't my favorite but was edible. I'd definitely try this place again. My total for everything was around $20 or so and the food was hot for the most part. read more

While my vegetarian best friend was in town I was searching for restaurants offering options she might enjoy other than a salad. The 10th street diner hit the mark! Their entire menu is vegan and they have diner classics such as a Reuben and BLT. The location is small but cozy and you order at the counter. Our food came out fresh and hot and tasted delicious! I would say you could easily bring a non-vegan here and still be satisfied. read more

We were flying out of Indianapolis & had some time to kill. We saw an episode on Guy Fieri's Triple D, the other day. He was at 10th Street Diner, where they serve vegan food. Since we were in the area we went to check it out. Glad we did! We ordered the Reuben sandwich which comes with tortilla chips. We also ordered a side of fries. Since changing my diet to pescatarian, I can't remember the last time I had a Reuben sandwich! Their Reuben sandwich was soooo delicious! I don't think anyone would know it's a vegan sandwich! It also has sauerkraut in the sandwich, which makes it a true classic! And their fries are awesome too! The service was good & fast! The neighborhood looks a little sketchy tho, so much so that we were thinking of leaving. Glad we gave it a try! It was well worth it! read more

10th Street Diner - Reuben (vegan) sandwich & side of fries - Vegan Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place was lovely. You order at a walk up counter. I believe they have a rotating menu and they also have a beverage case featuring MANGO LASSI! Dreams do come true! It was so tasty. I've been on a tight budget so I just ordered a cup of chili. I will say, everything on the menu was really reasonably priced. I was with a friend who ordered the chimichanga and the chili cheese fries. She was generous enough to share the fries and oh my goodness were they good! Crisp, seasoned to perfection, and the toppings made it extra tasty. My chili was nothing special and the crackers it came out with were stale but my friend raved about her chimichanga. I definitely want to come back and try out more on their menu! Plus it's right next to Guide and Anchor which is one of my favorite spots in town! read more

Every year I go to Gen-Con with my board gaming group, and we have a bit of a hard time finding great places to go because 3 out of 5 of us are vegan. This place has been a safe haven for us for the past 4 years at least and I highly recommend it if you are in the area - even if you are not vegan or vegetarian inclined. I have tried several items here, for my most recent visit I ordered the Rueben. This feels like a meaty Rueben with tangy slaw and perfect toasted bread, to be clear I am of the meat eating persuasion but I would place it among one of the best Rueben sandwiches I have had meat or otherwise. It comes with chips by default, but you can sub in French fries as well - I have had both and recommend the tortilla chips as the restaurant puts their own seasoning on them and it livens up the chips. The restaurant also has a nice selection of canned beverages that are cold and ready to go. In addition, I have ordered the buffalo wings in the past as well. These wings are a little spongy due to the meat substitute they are using, but what they are lacking in perfect chicken-y texture they make up in the sauce. I find myself craving these during the year. I have been here several times, and have never felt crowded but there is always a few people there - this place feels a bit like you've found some kind of secret spot no-one knows about. The dining room is definitely big enough to accommodate, and their bathrooms are always clean. read more

I'm driving through Indianapolis and stopped an the 10th street diner for lunch. The interior has beautiful exposed brick which makes for an inviting atmosphere. I had the wings and chili fries. They were super good. I especially liked the chili. It had great flavor. read more

*Update tried this place again for their brunch. The place was pretty crowded in spite of the fact the prices were high and the choices were limited. Our food was terrible except for my step son's order which he enjoyed. We'll give it one more try to see if the gyros are still good but so sad to see this place change for the worse. Old review: This place used to be my favorite place to eat in Indy, but changed owners. They have some of the same recipes but many items are gone. I miss some of the salads they used to serve! A sandwich will cost you over $12 and you'll have to pay extra for fries. Overpriced, less friendly staff...just a let down all the way around. My first experience with the new owners was partially raw pot pie. We sent it back only to be given more raw pot pie. That said most of the food is good but it isn't the same. read more

I came in today after moving to Arizona 3 1/2 years ago. I'd heard the restaurant was under new ownership but decided to give it a chance. As soon as I walked in, there was an overwhelming smell of burnt, old grease. The restaurant looked mostly the same as before, just not as well maintained. I ordered a rib sandwich, fries, and a mango drink. The person at the counter didn't greet me, he just stared at me when he walked up, which already felt uncomfortable. When I got my food, my first impression was unfortunately correct. The fries tasted like they were cooked in very old grease, and the seitan was either old or extremely overcooked. I honestly couldn't tell which. This is definitely not the same restaurant it used to be. I'm not someone who complains, especially about vegan restaurants since there are so few left, but this was really disappointing. read more

As a vegan, there's not many places to eat out. This is hands down the best vegan food i have EVER eaten. Chilli cheese fries are to DIE for! So grateful for this restaurant! read more

I'm sorry for this review, but I was really disappointed in my $20 salad that was spring mix, chunks of major and pecans. Their spring mix was sparse and just generally a flavorless salad. It was not clear to me that this was a vegan restaurant, so when I was asking questions about the menu, the woman who took my order seemed annoyed. That rubbed me the wrong way. I love vegan meals, and maybe I missed it, but I genuinely didn't know. The ambiance is general cafe like. read more

Service was kind and efficient. Restaurant is very clean and tidy. I had the Reuben a few months ago and couldn't wait to have it again. I don't know what it was, but it wasn't as good this time. The pasta salad was average, nothing special. It needs something to boost the flavor. The gyro looked amazing, but it was incredibly salty, making it difficult to eat. I'm wondering what has changed here. I know it changed hands, but I thought dishes would stay the same. read more

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of eating here for the first time last week. The space is warm and inviting and they have a great menu. My boyfriend got the chorizo chimichanga and I got the 10th street burger and fries . Both were made in a timely fashion and were delicious. Kali did a great job of helping me make my selection. I will definitely come back! read more

I love that Indy has a vegan restaurant! I tried the fried pickles, BLT and fries and everything was so delicious!!! I look forward to returning and trying brunch items next time! read more

Hmm, maybe I came on an off day? The buffalo chicken sandwich was all together, too wet and the patty wasn't the best texture, it was spongy. I couldn't finish it. The chili cheese fries were okay, nothing special about them. Maybe needed a bit of salt. I remember going here for the first time for breakfast a couple years ago and the food was better. Employees were friendly though, offering recommendations. read more

I tried a few things here. Chorizo Chimichanga was very tasty. I didn't care for the seitan wings; they were very meaty. But that's just a personal preference for me. Also I requested buffalo but they heard "BBQ", so that may have contributed to it as well. Potato Salad was good. Brunch items: Blueberry Pancakes were delicious. 3 large pancakes. Definitely a lot of bang for your buck. Breakfast potatoes, biscuits and gravy were equally delicious. Spicy Chicken Biscuit. The biscuit was good and I like how thin the chkn patty was. It comes with cheese, which isn't mentioned in the menu description. I peeled it off, but would've avoided the waste had I known. Diner Plate - It comes with tofu scramble, breakfast potatoes, simmered greens, biscuit & gravy, bacon, and baked apples. The bacon was actually very very good. Unfortunately, the tofu scramble, greens, and even the breakfast potatoes weren't good. The tofu scramble and greens were a little better after I added hot sauce. I don't know what happened with the potatoes that day. The biscuit was still good. I know the other times I went, one of the owners was cooking. The last time (with the Diner Plate brunch), the co-owner was back there in the kitchen but so was another man. I assume the other man cooked my food and maybe that's why it tasted vastly different? Just a guess. Service ranged from excellent to so-so depending on who was working that day. I met the other co-owner, Karen, on one of my visits and she was an absolute delight. I get disappointed with inconsistency, but things happen. I'd definitely return when back in Indy, and when the co-owner is cooking. read more

I didn't take a photo of my food, my bad. But suffice to say that the Italian beef sandwich they have there is incredible. So juicy. Their chorizo chimichanga is a staple, but we got the chicken version today. 10th street diner is in Eastside. There is parking in front of the diner. The people there are enthusiastic about the food they make and giving vegans and flexitarians that diner experience. The Saturday brunch looks great, and we'll have to try it sometime. read more

We did take out for lunch and ordered a Reuben and the Chimichanga. Ordered ahead of time and it was hot and ready when I arrived. I was pleasantly surprised to see the nice big parking lot too. Both items were excellent. I will definitely be putting 10th Street Diner on a regular rotation. read more

All vegan! What's not to love. Always something new on menu, today was a special menu with brunch entrees only. My chimichanga was sooo good with chunks of flavorful fillings. I guess I'm not sure what the fake meat was but it tasted good - not like meat. I also had a mango smoothie made with almond yogurt, mmmmmmm. Wonderful little patio allowed us to sit outside and enjoy the breeze. read more

Me and my friends were in town to see Mizmor and we're going to go to Plantastic but they seemed close to except for order and pickup so we found this place and 10th Street Diner was legit. I normally get a gyro when I see then available at a vegan restaurants but they had a rib sandwich as the special so I hadn't had anything like that before and it was a solidified banger. I should've ordered up to get the fries because the nacho chips were the only thing lackluster in our experience. The women that were running the place were amazing and sweet. They had a mango lassi that was vegan and it so good. I tried a bite of the Reuben sandwich and it was the best Reuben I've had. The Buffalo wings were good as well but they were not battered or anything and were fried pieces of seitan but still yummy. Highly recommend this place and it was a cute spot as well. read more

The flavor of both sandwiches was great! The service was quick. There is ample seating both inside and on the patio. Downside was the menu is not very descriptive so it is hard to know what comes on each item. Additionally it is not clear that the sides unless you do the chips are an additional $3.50. If they adjusted the menu or had a QR code where you could easily view more details I think it would be a huge help. read more

10th Street Diner - Bbq sandwich - Vegan Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Lo and behold, the great east 10th street vegan place! The only downside about this place is with it being a counter serve restaurant, the service is sometimes lackluster. Lucky for them, the irresistibly tasty food is what keeps people coming back. As a family owned and locally locally owned spot, 10th Street Diner makes a good impression of the east side small businesses. Along with supporting a small business, you can feel good about getting some quality vegan food. To drink, they offer a variety of small business made sodas for purchase. They also offer pink lemonade and have water. There is a small variety of what you would think of as "vegan" options such as salads, fried pickles, and roasted brussel sprouts. Here Ive posted a picture of my favorite; my favorite salad is the spring mango salad. A lot of their options are traditionally made from meat such as a spicy buffalo chicken sandwich or a tasty reuben. These items are made from different preparations of seitan and it's really good. This is a great place for a quick lunch meeting or getting work done on your own during your lunch because it's fairly tranquil on the inside during the weekdays, even during a rush. Moreover, this is a great place to go wether you're vegan or not just to have the experience. The food is phenomenal! read more

If you are vegan and are craving greasy diner food, this is the place to go! It has a fun classic diner feel with a plant based menu. Only negative is not the most friendly to non vegans especially who are not used to fake meat/cheese taste. read more

10th Street Diner is a family owned business that serves 100% vegan food. It is a cute red brick restaurant with spacious parking, a bit smaller than expected inside and has limited seating. They have a brunch only menu from 10-3 on Saturdays. I ordered the comfort tacos that consists of corn taco shells, mashed potatoes, green onions, vegan shredded cheese, faux chicken strips and gravy. It was very good and the mashed potatoes did make it comforting. My friend had the spicy chicken biscuit and both of our sides were breakfast potatoes. He really enjoyed his food as well. Honestly we really need more vegan restaurants like this in Indianapolis! read more

This little gem is an oasis. My bf and his family sought out a vegetarian restaurant and liked it. I am not a vegetarian but love good food. This place serves up really good food.

I love how every tiring is made in house and they use a rotating menu. Brunch is a staple in this house hold and I'm happy 10th St Diner serves it. I have honestly never had anything bad off the menu. If you're vegan or enjoy plant based good go and support their small business. read more

Well this is a interesting restaurant. It is a vegan restaurant that has menu items for us carnivores too. The restaurant has a small dining area with some bar style seating. They also have a decent sized parking lot, that was full when I was there and some picnic tables in a grass area off of teh parking lot to eat at. The staff there is friendly enough. They make your food right in front of the bar area. They do run daily food specials and have an "efficient" menu that includes burgers, sandwiches, and soups. I ordered the BLT with some brussel sprouts. It took a while for me to get my food. I would say about 15 minutes or so. My critique of the food is from a carnivore point of view. The brussle sprouts were over cooked and way to crispy compared to others that I had at different restaurants. They did have a good taste to them though. The sauce they were covered in was amazing. The BLT was a vegan BLT, which I was not aware. I was not a fan. The bacon was, ewwwww. Remember, this is coming from a meat eater. The sandwich just did not taste right. Even the bread had a different taste then what I was use to. The sandwich came with some tortilla chips, dusted in parmesan cheese. I would have probably opted to substitute them for fries if i had it to do over again. The strawberry lemonade they had was the bomb though. I do recommend it. Well, I learned that I am not a fan of vegan dishes and will eat meat till I die. Do not get my wrong, this is a nice spot for those on a vegan diet and is a very cozy spot. read more

I have been here to eat several times and it never disappoints. Very cool vibe, great service and delicious vegan food! I was there last weekend and tried the chorizo chimichanga, which was huge and amazing! The wings are so tasty and the roasted Brussel sprouts were divine. I was with my cousin and she ordered some chili and a burger, and both were tasty as well. I'm so glad this restaurant is doing well, I look forward to eating here every time I come to town. Parking is dedicated and ample. The only thing that would make this place better is if they had desserts. read more

I didn't know it was vegan so I thought the Fajitas were gross and the cheese was weird. Now that I know it's vegan, they do a really good job! I stopped in the 10th street diner because I was on an unfamiliar side of town and this place looked nice. Notice I said looked? I brought up Yelp to scope places out but I didn't read anything. After a quick browse of the photos and the overall rating score I thought yeah this place looks really good. The service was great. But when I told them it was my first time there while ordering at the counter, no one said a thing about it being vegan. In their defense they probably thought if I was there, I already knew. I got the fajita plate and the fried pickles. The fried pickles were great. The breading was perfect. The fajitas...you know, tastes vegan. I won't be going here again but only because I'm a meat eater. If you're vegan, I highly recommend this place! read more

Low key vegan energy. Finally got to taste the glorious food here. My husband and I went for. Date night recently and although neither of us are vegan, I am dairy free. I had the chorizo chimichanga and he the 10 street burger. They were so delicious! From the meat substitutes to the sauce, we could tell that these options were curated for people who need comfort food without the side effects of animal product (aka dairy). We also had the Brussels sprouts to share and recommend it. read more

We came here on a random Wednesday for lunch and it did not disappoint! I am vegetarian and my boyfriend is a carnivore. We have both heard good things about 10th street diner but hadn't had the opportunity to give it a try. We got the chorizo burrito and the Reuben. The Reuben was one of the best vegan Reuben's I have ever had. The "meat" had great texture and they did a good job of mimicking thinly slice roast beef using seitan and I assume beets to get the red color. The chorizo burrito was very tasty as well. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table which leads to a very causal dining experience with excellent vegan food. I have eaten at a lot of vegan diners / restaurants across the US and I am very very impressed that this vegan place is so good and it's LOCAL! I will definitely be back! read more

OKAY!! SOOO!! I didn't check the menu before I came and didn't realize that everything on the menu was vegan. But HONEY!! The food was so good that I didn't miss the meat and wanted to more. I'm a bonafide meat eater but eating at this place had me second-guessing my life choices, lol! When you first walk in, the menu is listed on a dry erase board and you can choose which tasty dish you want. I ordered the "Chicken" pot pie and Roasted Brussel Sprouts. Both dishes were jammed pack with flavor and I was full. I don't even know what the "chicken" was..lol! But it was good and I would order it again. Especially on a cold day and you need something to keep you warm, I highly recommend the pot pie. The balsamic sauce on the sprouts was tangy, but it didn't overpower the natural flavors of the sprouts. If want to adventure out and try some good vegan cookin'...10th Street Diner is the place to go! read more

I love this restaurant so much that I make the trip from Fishers pretty frequently--their food is seriously worth the time and miles on my car. I think my favorite so far are the Comfort Tacos: faux fried chick'n bites, mashed potatoes, corn, vegan cheese and a little bit of gravy. They remind me of the totally decadent KFC bowls from back in the day. Their chick'n biscuit is also amazing, as is their chick'n pot pie. Oh, and the ranch chick'n bacon wrap. I brought my omnivore boyfriend here for carryout one weekend recently and we planned to drive to a scenic spot for a car picnic. We decided to open our to-go containers just to take a quick peek, and ended up wolfing everything down in the parking lot. He's a huge fan of this place as well. Don't be afraid of vegan food, especially from here! Pro tip: give them a call if there's something on their menu you really want, because they often sell out of things--which is AWESOME, but also can be a little heartbreaking when you have your heart set on something. I've never disliked any of my entrees from 10th Street, so you'd be safe going with your second choice. Pro tip 2: follow them on Facebook. They do a great job of posting their daily menu, and you can also easily check to see which days they're open. read more

One of my new favorite vegan spots in town! Stopped by this afternoon with my vegetarian sister and vegan brother-in-law, and we were not disappointed. The overall ambiance was very relaxed and inviting. The staff was so friendly and willing to answer questions when we took a few minutes to decide what to order...because all of the options looked so good! My sister and I each ordered the Comfort Tacos which are exactly what they sound like--all of your favorite comfort foods, including fried "chicken", mashed potatoes, and gravy, wrapped in a corn tortilla. My BIL ordered the Chicken and Waffles and couldn't say enough great things about his meal. One thing to keep in mind is that on Saturdays they only offer their brunch menu, so I will definitely be back to try out their regular menu items soon!
