    BoxBar has been on our list of vegan places to try for forever and a day. We made it out that way this weekend and our experience lived up to everything we've heard about them!! The pasta was amazingly tender, cooked to perfection. There was a lot of flavor and depth in each bite, more of a deliciously earthy mac and cheese as opposed to maybe a velveety smooth creamy type. The Jalapeño poppers were amazing. I've always associated poppers with a crusted fried topping but these were bold, going in a different direction. The jalapeños were fresh and soft to the bite, easy to cut with the side of a fork, loaded with components such as cashew cheddar, crema, avocado sauce, sweet pickled jalapeños, pico and cabbage slaw - all coming together perfectly in each bite (i'm utilizing their menu description) For the main dish, Sandi ordered the "Smokey Barbecue" which came with a complimentary side of chips and I ordered the Portobello French Dip and upgraded my side to a Side Salad for an extra $4. Each dish, every bite was delicious, even something as simple as a side salad was elevated with their Ginger Tahini dresing. Dipping the Portobello Sandwich into the Dip was just .. magical. We also both opted for the same drink, South Park Mule. The drink was legit, in addition to tasting great, I actually had a buzz as well .. indicating to me they didn't skimp on the adult juice Their food is amazing across the board and there's so much more to go back and try! Definitely worth the trip!!

    Friendly service these nachos were shockingly good I didn't think I could get full without a pile of meat, but these nachos prove me wrong! Ambiance was easygoing, we felt like we could talk and laugh. Wr also tried the sliders which were pretty good. I appreciate the unique menu here!

    Seating

    We came early on a Wednesday afternoon around 4:30 pm and it was a great time to come! They weren't busy and there was plenty of seating to choose from. Our server was very nice and attentive, and the food was phenomenal! I am ashamed it took us so long to try this place and now I want to come back ASAP! I love everything I ordered. I got the Key Lime Pie cocktail which was nice and strong and super tasty. If you like key lime pie you will love it. I also got the Portobello French Dip with the Kale Salad. OMG I think it was the best French dip I've ever had. Soooo good! I think there is something for everyone here, but you will especially love it if you're vegetarian or vegan. I'd like to bring our dogs and sit outside sometime. It's nice to have that option. It's small inside, but there is a variety of seating...3 booths, some tables and chairs, and bar seating. We will be back for sure!

    Biscuit Benny
    Raisa S.

    Had a delicious brunch here with some friends! I had the Biscuit Benny and they had the Avocado Toast and Tofu Rancheros. Everything was flavorful. I'm not vegan and eggs benedict is my favorite brunch food so I was a bit nervous about trying vegan eggs for the first time. I need not have worried - these were so good! We also had the Bloody Mary and Key Lime Pie drinks. The Key Lime cocktail wasn't too sweet. The Bloody Mary was perfection - it comes with a little beer on the side as well!

    Fabulous 100% vegan restaurant and bar in West Seattle. Food was delicious and beautiful and enjoyed by this foursome of 2 vegans and 2 omnivores. Service was excellent and the vibe was perfect. There is also a drag show later in the evening but unfortunately for my old @$$ it was past my bedtime. Will definitely be coming back here!

    Mocktail with aquafaba, simple syrup, sour, and something else.  Amazingly good; aquafaba stole the show.
    Michael D.

    This is a hidden vegan gem in Seattle, and easily in the top tier of vegan restaurants in Seattle. Both my wife and I are vegan. We had an earlier dinner on a Saturday night prior to seeing a show a half-mile down the street at ArtsWest. (pro tip to Seattleites like us who don't live in West Seattle... this is a great place for a pre-show dinner; also, there is a nearly empty pay parking lot by Rite Aid half way between the restaurant and ArtsWest.) We had the lentil nachos, pizza salad (not on the menu on the web site), a brownie butterfinger sundae (also not on the menu on the web site), and some sort of mocktail with aquafaba that was not on the in-restaurant menu or the web site's menu. Everything really goes on about the lentil nachos, and while they were good, the star of the show was the pizza salad. It consisted of two heads of romaine lettuce, with a cheezy sauce, seitan pepperoni, chickpeas, and roasted tomatoes. Incredibly unique, tasted great, and the flavors worked well. The mocktail was also awesome. In addition to aquafaba, it had simple syrup, some sort of sour... and something else that I can't remember. The aquafaba elevated the drink; I don't know why more places don't use it as an ingredient in mocktails. Great egg white replacer in mocktails. We're going to come back in the future and check out the various sandwiches as well, which all look good. Price-wise it's cheaper than what we're used to paying in Seattle. Generally, when we each have a drink and split an appetizer, entree, and dessert, we expect to pay well over $100 with 25% tip. Our check here came to $90-ish with $25 tip (and post-dinner coffee). The entrees are priced slightly less than what we'd expect, and the mocktails were very inexpensive (for Seattle) at $8 a pop. Ambiance is nice. It's a casual bar, with outdoor seating. We sat outdoors, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice, because the cars roar by. Inside there were a handful of booths and some tables. I wish they offered reservations, but on Saturday night at 5:45 pm it was busy but that there was no wait. Service was good, particularly since we were outside. Server came fairly quickly after we sat down, took our drink order, and when came back to take our food arrive. Drinks and food arrived quickly. He checked in once while we were eating, and then came back when we were finishing up with dinner to take our dessert order. This has definitely become our go-to place for West Seattle!

    Smoky Barbecue sandwich (barbecue tempeh and cabbage slaw on a ciabatta roll) with soup of the day (Smoky Lentil Soup) instead of chips
    Dianna T.

    We finally tried Box Bar for dinner and it was fantastic! I always thought this place was just a random wine bar (and I don't drink). It is a bar that serves wine, but they also have a fully plant based (vegan) menu with many interesting items. I ordered the TBLTA (tempeh bacon, greens, tomato, english cucumber, guacamole, and lemon mayo on lightly toasted sourdough bread). It normally comes with potato chips on the side, but I chose the house salad instead (extra $3). I'm a meat eater, so I didn't think my sandwich tasted anything like a traditional BLT, but it was delicious nonetheless. I also really liked the salad because the dressing was so good and I thought the portion was generous. My husband had the Smoky Barbecue sandwich (barbecue tempeh and cabbage slaw on a ciabatta roll) and swapped the chips for the soup of the day (Smoky lentil soup). He loved his sandwich and said it was really flavorful. I generally think lentils are boring, but I tasted the soup and it was amazing. During Covid-19 they are open for indoor dining. We eat early, so the place was pretty empty when we were there. Our server was friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We would definitely come back for dinner but they also started serving brunch on Saturdays (10 AM - 2 PM), so we are also interested in checking that out!

    Is Box Bar fully vegan or "plant based" meaning some foods contain animal products?

The speakeasy-style entrance sets the tone right away--very prohibition-era vibes, a little mysterious, and definitely part of the charm. It's the kind of place you half expect to need a password to get into. Once inside, the ambiance really delivers. Dim lighting, cozy atmosphere, and a menu that leans into that classic cocktail culture without feeling overdone. The drinks are genuinely solid--well-crafted, balanced, and surprisingly fairly priced for the quality. What really makes this spot stand out, though, is the live jazz. If you can swing a visit on a Sunday or Monday night, do it. The music adds so much character to the space and turns a casual night out into something memorable and a little transportive. Service was a bit slow during our visit, but honestly, it made sense--there were only two people running the entire place. Even with that, they stayed friendly and composed, which says a lot. It didn't take away from the experience, just something to be aware of if you're in a rush. Overall, The Alley is a gem--great vibes, great music, and great cocktails. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something a little different in West Seattle.

For my main course, I decided on a Rainier tall boy, the steak, mashed potatoes, and added asparagus. This also came with the chimichurri, so I was very happy with this plate. The steak was perfectly cooked, but I do wish it had more of a char and more seasoning. For dessert, we got the s'mores. One with Hershey's milk chocolate and the other with a Reese's peanut butter cup. All the food was delicious, and the staff was very attentive.
