I love coming here when I'm in Columbus. It is such a treat to have a whole vegan menu to choose from! I liked everything I tried. There are no wrong choices. Beware: the portions are generous. I left feeling stuffed! My only critique is that you leave smelling like a diner. I guess that is par for the course, though, as this is, in fact, a diner.
Amazing food. My father loves this place by his work and can eat anything due to being kosher-ish. I ordered it for me and my dad to share. We got a collection of the various pancake bites and brunch wraps and burgers that we enjoyed all day long until dinner time.
4th & State is one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Columbus! It has nice diner vibes and the service is great! Their menu has a so many fantastic options too! For breakfast/brunch they awesome sweet treats like pancake balls and s'mores French toast, and delicious savory dishes like a crunchwrap and a breakfast sandwich! For their regular menu, their nachos are unbelievable; they have an incredible vegan queso! They also have so many yummy pizza options and tons of other tasty items too! Whether you're looking for amazing vegan food or just an amazing meal in general, you should definitely check 4th & State out!
Excited for all vegan diner. We got a range of food. The menu options are all day. Good amount of food so we got 3 plates for the 4 of us. Our waitress was nice. Food took a bit to get ready, but made fresh and considering it's the whole menu they serve all day, I am fine with it. Diner is bright and not crowded. Only negative is the music is a little loud. It's EDM type music.
Every time I come here I just love it so much. It's awesome to see so many vegan items on the menu, makes it hard to choose. I honestly always come for breakfast, it's just so good. And my friend who met me this time isn't vegan but loved her vrunchwrap. I got the gluten free pancake breakfast, with those fake eggs that are so delicious, and on recommendation of our waitress (who was so friendly and helpful) got the hashbrown with the soyrizo sauce added. I loooooved it, so worth the $2 up charge. We got adult drinks this time. Delicious. I'll be back again!
one of the best experiences i've ever had! i was on a business trip and this place was right by my hotel! they were super allergen friendly (gluten and dairy!) and super knowledgeable. they were able to make my cobb salad gluten free by making the tempeh bacon on a clean griddle. the fries were also incredibly fresh and not too oily. the milkshakes (strawberry and vanilla) were amazing ! vanilla was my favorite. i will definitely be back when im in town.
Given that it is a completely plant based experience--I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of menu options. They have burgers, salads that can be made into wraps, milkshakes, and a full breakfast menu. Service is quick (maybe too quick? I felt a little rushed even though I came alone at 7:30 and they don't close until 8:30), and the atmosphere feels a little sterile to me (I think it could use more color), But still, I'm giving it a 5/5, as the food was delicious and I don't eat a ton of vegan food.
"Family Owned Vegan Restaurant in Downtown Columbus, Ohio." This statement alone sparked my curiosity while on a business trip to the Midwest. 4th & State is a wonderful place in America's heartland offering up traditional diner fare made from plant based ingredients. I read all of the Yelp reviews and decided to walk over from my downtown Columbus hotel to check it out. It's easy to find (on the corner of South 4th Street and East State Street), as you'll see people waiting outside to be lucky enough to snag one of the limited dining room table seats. Be prepared to wait with other hungry and health-conscious customers. Even as a solo diner on a late Sunday morning, I was told the wait would be about an hour. I was able to leave my name and received a curtesy call 45 minutes later once my table was available. My friendly server came over to offer me something to drink, asked if I had any questions and presented some of the specials for the day. After taking several moments to pour over the great-sound menu, I decided to go with the Statehouse Breakfast ($18) - Two pancakes or French Toast served with a choice of breakfast sides. In my case, I went with the seasonal Cinnamon Apple French Toast, with Hashbrowns (GF/SF) and Seitan Sausage. Service was very attentive, although customers should know that during peak busy times, you will wait a good 20-30 minutes for your order to arrive. This has nothing to do with efficiency, as the food is served up hot, fresh and tasty - it's simply a matter of good food takes time to prepare. Finally, my food arrived (with an smile and an apology for the wait from my server). It was well worth the wait. The seasonal Cinnamon Apple French Toast was spectacular. The caramelized apple bits mixed with an outstanding whipped cream and syrup was absolutely incredible. The toast itself was wonderfully soft and tasty, with just a slight hint of crisp on the crust corners. Add an extra $1 to the Statehouse Breakfast if you choose to add the Seasonal option(s) to your order. The Hashbrowns (GF/SF) were also quite good. Great crisp outer texture with delicious soft potato interior, all without the guilt. The plant-based meat substitute Seitan Sausage links were also tasty. The prices are on par with what you would find at other diners, but without the greasy spoon guilt. Come check out this family-owned diner, as this clan knows how to create an amazingly unique dining experience that will delight the tastebuds of everyone that visits.
I usually order takeout or delivery from them but we decided to go in and see the place. Very cute and the service was wonderful. Our server was so sweet and thoughtful. My friend go the burrito bowl and said it was amazing. I got the loaded tots and the buffalo chick sandwich. The sandwich was phenomenal. The tots were ok, they unfortunately didn't taste super fresh. I have to say, I HATE cold food that's supposed to be hot and these were flavor-wise very good but temp was cold. I've ordered from here many times through delivery also and it's always good. Will be back!
I loved everything about this place! I got a burger on gluten free bread that was so fluffy and delicious. The burger tasted just meaty enough and was great dipped in vegan ranch. They did forget a couple things but everything we did get was so delicious. I added on a strawberry milkshake that was super thick with vegan whipped cream on top. Can't wait to come back!
We've been coming to 4th and State for years, and whenever we come into town we try to come back to this place. My vegan wife loves the milkshake, and it doesn't disappoint. I had the chicken sandwich with cream cheese, Thai sweet chili sauce, and jalapeños. Very good sandwich. My favorite appetizer is the cheesy breadsticks. 10/10 every time. 4th and State remains our go to spot for vegan dining in CBUS. We will be back read more
We LOVE this place! We've been here twice in the past year and I'd love to be a regular (but we live a little outside of town). The service has been top-notch. We've had two different types of experience in that we've come for dinner on a date night (wife and I) and we've brought out out-of-town friends with their two young children. Everyone involved loved it! Great food, great service, nice little space. The menu has so many great options for us vegetarians! It's almost stressful to pick something. I need to visit about 10 more times so I can try everything I want on the menu. Thank you for recognizing the importance of good service and good food and a special time out with our loved ones. read more

TOP TIER. The location is convenient. The atmosphere is cool. The people, staff and guest, are helpful and friendly. The menu is amazing. The options are great. My food was delicious. EVERYTHING is vegan. I can't wait to come back with my sons. I bought two orders of the loaded fries, potato skins, and cheezy garlic bread. Chef's kiss! read more
We went to her our @4thandstate fix. Voted the best vegan dinner in america according to VegOut magazine. Pictured , jalapeño popper sandwich, it's a Tempeh friend chik'n paddy with jalapeños and vegan cream cheese. And a cheese burger. With tempeh buffalo chik'n wings and 2 shakes. Strawberry cheesecake and lemon lavender. read more
We found this place just down from the theater and loved everything we had! There are very few places where we could order anything on the menu as vegetarians! The chicken parmesan sandwich was amazing! Drinks were good and we did street parking close by. Will def be back anytime we are in downtown Columbus! read more

A well-known vegan spot in town! My friend and I came here for dinner one day. Parking is parallel, but we found free parking less than a block away. There were people sitting inside but it wasn't all that busy. The menu is huge! Really great for vegetarians and vegans. They also serve breakfast, which my friend and I agreed to return and try. We ordered a few things to share: taco vrunchwrap, jalapeño popper pizza, and the lone star burger. While everything looked small, we were both very full by the end of it! The pizza had a nice creamy texture and the vrunchwrap was a solid vegan take on Taco Bell's crunch wrap. The lone star burger was interesting. I don't dislike tempeh, but it was cooked a bit too crispy for me. But I'm not vegan, so I'm no expert! It came with fries, so we opted for the loaded option. The ranch and vegan bacon were perfection! My favorite item on the menu! Overall, it was a fun time! The staff is very friendly and helpful. And the large menu made it tough to decide what to eat! The only drawback is that the kitchen is in the same space. Since it's not enclosed, all of my clothes and hair smelled like fried food LOL read more

Easy 5 stars. This place excels in every way. The food is top tier, the servers are awesome, the vibe of the interior is cozy and welcoming, the owner is dope. Don't think too hard, just go try it out. I recommend their pancakes, and burgers, ooh and their pizza, and their breadsticks, ooh and their..... see what I mean? All fire. I gotta go back soon read more
I went here for lunch today while in town on business. We were close by at the topiary garden and decided to eat at this place. I brought two non-vegans with me, one was lactose intolerant so thrilled she could get a root beer float, and the other had never been to a vegan restaurant in their life. No joke, he said "this is the best burger I have ever eaten in my life!" What a compliment!! I had a bbq chik'n pizza and it was delicious. I cannot wait to come back, it was the highlight of the trip for me! The diner is so cute and the staff was friendly and helpful. read more
Decided to check out this place since I've heard so many amazing things about it. Also the place looks so cute on the corner of 4th and state. Just to preface, it is a vegan breakfast/ lunch spot so most menu items are vegan. I decided to order the French toast sticks, chorizo scramble, and a bagel w cream cheese. I lovedddd the French toast and bagel w cream cheese. Both were very tasty and left my tummy feeling super happy. I was not in love with the chorizo scramble, but it was still good !! I will definitely have to try their pancakes next time, as my friend ordered that and said it was yummy. One thing that i loved about the place and set it apart was a fire playlist!! So many good throwbacks playing that had me singing/ humming while eating. It was an ultimate vibe. read more

I'm struggling with giving 2 stars.. I just didn't get a good vibe from my first impression. One person comes to interrupt my server who was at my table talking to me about the menu to ask her about something she did then said "don't do that". The verbal dress down was so unprofessional that it made me want to get up and leave! But I didn't .. because I was already there and was on my way to see a ballet. I ordered the jr fakin beyond burger meat with no bun. It was ok. It definitely needed something to make it more firm. It ended up being pretty mushy consistency. The Brussels sprouts were good though. read more
I literally cannot recommend this pancakes enough. They're not quite your traditional pancakes, closer to cakes!! I'd be thrilled to get these anywhere for brunch, not just a vegan place. Loaded hash browns were also great- I usually don't like vegan meat alternatives but this was pretty yummy! Chicken caesar salad was like 50% croutons which I would pass on. Breakfast/brunch is definitely a highlight here! read more

I love this place every time I come home I get something to eat here. I did get something for dinner. I got the junior faking and it was so good and I also ate some of my brother food. Who had a bowl and load the staff was nice. It was kind of packing there, but it was also very quiet and chill which I love as well. also it doesn't take that long to get food so I love that as well.. definitely going back for brunch read more
Run, don't walk to 4th and State!!! This is an absolutely delightful diner with a beautiful front patio. My carnivore husband loved the Tomato Bacon Grilled Cheese and the breakfast Vrunchwrap. The chorizo was his favorite (I knew it would be- meat eaters always love the veg version.) My favorite was the BLT though I did add a chicken patty because I just couldn't decide. The loaded fries were a hit as well. We ordered with the intention of having ample leftovers so I can't wait for round 2 later. Wifi is strong here so I totally understand why so many people like to hang out for a bit. My husband didn't believe the cupcake was vegan- YUM. Morgan especially made this experience wonderful today. She was patient, kind, helpful without being pushy, and responsive. Thank you, Morgan!!! We loved this stop on our road trip and cannot wait to return! read more
