"Delightful vegan restaurant on Crabtree Blvd in Raleigh"…read more I'd heard of this for years and was happy to finally give it a try on a Saturday for lunch ~1:30pm. The restaurant is a bit set off from a strip mall, and has a small outdoor seating area. The inside has high ceilings and is airy, and is nicely decorated (I also enjoyed the "sci-fi themed" wallpaper in one restroom stall). We were greeted quickly and given a table right away. The specials on the wall sounded amazing-- it was hard to believe they were all vegan with burgers, bbq, "chicken", and more on there. We opted for simple-- the special cantaloupe soup for an appetizer and burgers (impossible) for lunch. Mine came with chips, and my girlfriend's came with mac and cheese. Food came out in maybe 15 minutes. The cantaloupe soup was AMAZING... perfect for a summer day... super refreshing and tasty. The cheeseburgers were good too-- well dressed with an aioli, if I remember right, as well as fresh lettuce, tomatoes, etc. I appreciated that I didn't have to pop a lactase, too, since all vegan! The chips I think were store-made and were absolutely tasty-- we got a lot too and snacked off them for the next few days. And my girlfriend liked the mac and cheese. Service was friendly throughout, and cups were refilled. And I felt the prices were reasonable for what we got. Overall, I'd DEFINITELY come back and am eager to try some of their fake meat dishes like the BBQ.

Cornmeal battered mushrooms- good portion size, delicious and a hit. Mess of collards- large portion, didnt see any bacon at all and the apple cider vinegar element was strong. Onions could have been chopped smaller. Meatloaf plate- very flavorful, the smoked local potatoes were a star too. It came with more collards Southern plate- this plate was a disappointing flop. Popcorn chkn (fried seitan) lacked salt and any flavor in the batter but the vessel had potential. Mashed potatoes were a little cold and also no flavor or salt. Coleslaw needed any flavor. Sauteed vegetables were plenty but again, zero salt or seasoning coming through. The hushpuppies had potential just needed to be a little smaller or a different shape to be balanced. Drinks: Flower and Flame- just a tad heavy handed on the smoke spritz G and Tea- this was delicious and I switched to this after tasting my wife's. Cardamom, mint and lemon make this refreshing!

We were greeted warmly by David, the assistant, and he explained each of the available dishes on the trays stacked on the shelving unit. We chose pirashkis, flaky dough filled with meats or veggies, and plenty of yummy spices. Our two favorites were the tomato and the chicken and sausages. Mally, the owner and top chef, engaged us in conversation that felt like we were welcome guests in her home, specifically the kitchen. Mally gave us a plate of fresh greens from her garden complete with edible Nasturtium flowers. Very limited seating was available inside and the breezeway outside had a number of tables where we enjoyed our food and a cool breeze. After our lunch, we walked back to the kitchen to tell Mally how delicious everything tasted and I picked up a baklava to go. Tasty walnut and honey in layered philo dough was a great finish lunch. This woman-owned small business is worth supporting, IMO, for all the reasons above. Additional Note: Rice and stew options are available as noted by other Yelpers.

I got a sweet rum based drink that was good. The focaccia was fine. They have a lot of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options on the menu. The entree was the star of the show for me. It consisted of mussels, clams, shrimp, and fish (it was a San Francisco fish I forgot the name of it. The sauce was very tasty and all of the seafood was cooked to perfection. My server was very attentive and helped with explaining the background of the restaurant and the menu. Will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu.

The male in the truck was a bit vague (seemed in a rush or not willing to share) I do understand as mentioned that most things were made with soy excluding the bread and cake I purchased, so I finalized my purchase without buying anything outside of desserts. I would have liked a more details on the preparation of the other items. The pumpkin bread and the zucchini cake were delicious.

My husband and I went on a late Saturday afternoon and we were seated immediately. We shared the Fido's Fries as an appetizer and I got the Chili Cheese Dogs as my entree. Almost everything could be made veggie or vegan so I asked for the dogs to be veggie. My meal also came with a side so I got the frickles (fried pickles). The Fido's Fries were beer battered fries, topped with cheese, bacon (we got the pork option but they have soy), scallions, & sour cream (on the side). The fries were absolutely delicious! I loved my chili cheese dogs as well. It was a very generous portion because it was two dogs and a ton of frickles. As a dog lover, I adored all of the dog art & statues around the place. The menu is even dog themed. I mean they call appetizers kibbles & bits. That could not be any cuter! There is indoor seating (with a bar) and outdoor seating. As you can probably already tell, the restaurant is dog friendly (with their outdoor area). They even have a dog friendly menu (called puppy meals). Service was superb! There is no dedicated parking lot but we easily found free parking a few blocks away. My mom is a vegan and we sometimes struggles to find creative meals when she visits. I will definitely be taking her here next!

The menu includes a few options with tempeh but is mostly vegetable based, and is not full of artificial fake meats or weird fusion stuff. Ordering a sprout salad was a good decision. I was worried the nuts would be excessive but it was a reasonable amount, and the dressing and finely shaved vegetables made for a light experience. My vegetable stew came with some aromatic rice, and a satisfying flavor mix. Ordering tea was a good idea as well; almost everything in this cuisine seems to be lime-flavored. The overall portion size for price was not overly favorable. The location is near the hospital system and in an area with dicey parking, it does have its own parking spots outside and in an adjoining garage.

I just wanted to update my review of the Yard House. We went back last night after I received the…read moreemail for their Oktoberfest. You could purchase a Stein and get five dollar refills with a food purchase. Through October 25, however North Carolina according to the bartender and his manager does not participate in this for some liquor lol. Which I find strange because you could purchase what the Yard House cause crawlers which is a 32 ounce can of beer so I don't really understand why they don't do the refills on the stein. So we opted not to get the Stein because that was the whole purpose of having the Steins is to get the refills on the beer. So if you're seeing this review before you go and you're in North Carolina or at least in the Raleigh Durham area yeah that's what we were told. So last night we again got the Miguel's queso dip. It tasted a little different last night. It didn't taste as good as it normally taste so I'm not sure if they had a different Chef in last night or if they changed the recipe or something, but it didn't taste nearly as good as it normally taste. Also, we got the chicken pizza it came out. Let's say a little on the overdone side so we sent it back and asked for it not to be cooked as long and it came back the total opposite. We got the Oktoberfest sampler so that we could try all their Oktoberfest beers to see which one we were gonna go with. I ended up with Paulner Oktoberfest Bier, it was really nice. Had a nice refreshing taste to it and my friend actually just got The Samuel Adams Oktoberfest. As always they were packed because it's football season and they have inside and outside seating it can also get loud because everybody's having a good time and enjoying each other. If you're sitting at the bar, you are gonna meet people , talk to each other and have a good time. We did meet a gentleman and he bought us a couple of drinks and we just had a good time so if you're in the area, give them a try.
