Based on the reviews I had to try this place out while I was in town. I'm not sure what the building was before it was a restaurant but it's strange that the restrooms outside behind the restaurant. I mention this first because a customer asked for the key to go around back when I walked in. The restaurant is in need of some loving care so I was a little skeptical about the food, but I again thought of the reviews. When I walked in no one greeted me until I flagged someone down and asked where to seat. My server was friendly. I asked him what he recommended and he pointed out several sandwiches but his favorite was the Tofu Steak Sandwich. It certainly was not my first choice, but I decided to leave it in his hands and so I ordered that sandwich and lemonade. Based on the reviews I knew it would take awhile so I sat back and relaxed. It was about 20 minutes before my big sandwich and beans and rice arrived. The Tofu Steak actually looked like steak and not tofu at all. I took a bite and was in heaven. It was so good--the best tofu I have ever had. I'm sure it was the gravy that they put on it and was so tempted to ask for the recipe. The rice and beans were also tasty. Surprisingly, my server didn't ask how it was or asked if I wanted a refill on my drink. He saw that I finished my meal and put my check on the table with out a word. I wouldn't certainly go back here again. read more

I almost don't want to write a good review because I don't want this place to become too busy! :-) But seriously, a friend looked it up on Yelp, saw the reviews, and said we should go. I honestly wouldn't have stopped based on the neighborhood or outside of the place -- it looks a bit questionable. Inside, though, they have great posters, lots of open space (though not a ton of seating), good music, and a friendly atmosphere. The staff are family, and it's definitely a place where anyone would be welcome -- singles, couples, or families (if your kids would eat vegan!). As for the food, the worst part was having to make a choice from the astounding menu. We agonized over decisions, then finally decided to order and share. I got the the Sweet Jamaican wrap, which was delicious. Just the right amount of spicing and mix of ingredients. My friend ordered the Lovers Club, and that was also wonderful and HUGE. It looked like a double order (plus fries). Of course, we ordered the famous Mac and Yease, which didn't disappoint. I used to love Plum up on Capitol Hill, but over the past years have been disappointed in the menu changes and quality. Quickie Too will now be my favorite vegan restaurant. I can't wait to return and try new menu items. Some reviews have mentioned a long wait time. The staff is small, so you should simply go in and plan to enjoy conversation with your dinner mates. It wasn't busy when we were there, and we received our order very quickly. read more

I wish I had pictures to show you guys how great the food was, but we ate it too fast. It was that good. We had the smoky mushroom melt, big fish burger, and hush puppies. Both my sister, an avowed omnivore, and I, the vegan, took one bite of our respective sandwiches and started fighting over whose was better -- I still say it's mine, the smoky mushroom, but she's next to me denying it wholeheartedly. Anyway, both were bomb, and the hush puppies were fresh and delicious and almost a dessert, they were so good. Also, we ordered ahead then our plans were cancelled and we asked if we could move our order up. Despite them having a busy night, they were happy to do that for us, and even called us when the food was ready, knowing we were in the parking lot waiting. I was really impressed with the service, and also stoked to see the owners in the restaurant -- always a good sign in a local business, I think, because it shows they care. All in all, every aspect of Quickie Too impressed me, and you should try this place, vegan or not. You won't regret it. read more

Definitely the best vegan restaurant in Tacoma! Get the Carb Monster! Spicy fries, an amazing three layer super cheesy grilled cheese & their signature Mac n cheese. Their vegan mac n cheese is SOOO DELICIOUS! I crave it all the time. Their tempeh fish sandwich is also super good. And I highly recommend ordering their mashed potatoes & greens, as well! AND their oreo brownie with cream cheese frosting is huge & a great after dinner treat! You really can't go wrong with anything you order here! And online ordering & the drive up window makes everything so easy! read more

So. Much. Oil. I have never seen this much fucking oil on my food in my life. Not even on a pizza. Oh, and everything is super squishy. Not oil soggy squishy, well yes, that too. But no, nuked-flavorless mushy from being left in the heat too long. This is the only way to get a heart attack as a vegan and you can have bland food while doing it! The fries were alright. read more

Everything was amazing and well worth the drive to visit. We didn't even get a chance to take a picture of the other sandwich because of how fast it was devoured! read more

This venerable Tacoma vegan institution had missed my patronage for ages, but I finally went last year to get my vegetarian daughter some new veggie options. I've only ever gotten their Reuben, and it's ridiculously good. Can't recall what daughter got, but she liked her meal as well. Good portions, good service. read more

Live having brunch on Sundays! Awesome food and my first introduction to vegan food some 20 years ago!

Nothing to write home about. I came here for a weekday lunch and found myself the only person there. The service was spacey and non existent. The menu is quite large (maybe too big!) and hard to choose. I had their BLT with tempeh which was tasty, but overall I wouldn't run back. Their brunch menu looked pretty fun to try. read more

Best food in town. I always take my friends here. It's hard being vegan. Options suck. But not in this restaurant. Everything is vegan and everything rocks! I hope to cook as good as this place does one day. read more

HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD!! This palce was so good I could punch a senior citizen!! This place was out of this world. Believe me I am not a granola head so I am a legit meat eater. Some of the most amazing flavors going on, it was party in my mouth. I had the TLT with Tempeh and Jamaican spices. I also had to try the Mac and Yease, the flavors were so amazing. You cannot tell that you are eating anything vegan, not that vegan is a bad thing. The flavors were just so glorious all you can think about is how amazing it is. You must try this place. You need to have some time on your hand as they are definatley on island time. The main cook is so dope, crazy long dreads and totally friendly. Any person would enjoy this place, I feel left out that I just now discovered it. Check out my pics. My co-worker got the BBQ burger. P.S. I love senior citizens, I wouldn't really punch you no matter how good something tastes! read more

Whether a quickie [to-go] or a longie [dine in], this place serves up great food, smooth beats and friendly warm charm. The lady owner(?) who closed me out was mostly that; the gentleman who took my order was a bit soft-spoken. I forget my tasty selection but it was a Supper item with an extra of sorts. Delicious, fresh and healthy. I didn't realize it was also part of the Plum restaurants. This was a cool stop while riding around on my motorcycle rental and retiring at The Villa inn a few minutes north. Thumbs up! read more

Employees here were nice. I was really excited to try their peanut butter shake but was really disappointed. First of all it's $8 which is really expensive. The shake is completely watery and way too sweet. It may be vegan but it tasted mediocre. read more

How I love yelp. I'm sure most of you have gone through the same thing, I discovered yelp a month ago & now I'm addicted. I look up stuff obsessively and have learned a lot very quickly. Case in point: I've driven by Quickie Too for years, too chicken to go in & wondering what the deal is. Thanks to all the yelpers here, I knew: "GO!" QUICKIE TOO ROCKS! I had the stuffed cabbage dinner ($12) and my girl, Serina, had the TLT sandwich with NY deli style tofu ($9). The stuffed cabbage plate seriously fed my soul. The deliciously spiced tempeh & rice filling tasted very traditional without completely weighing me down. The sides were terrific: the justifiably popular mac 'n yease, sweet potato, mixed green salad w/ yummy dressing & bread. My other daughter & son joined us and had dessert. They munched down their cookies (about $2.5 each) right quick. My daughter wanted ice cream, and the wonderful man who runs the place told her they'd be making it again in a few days now that the weather is better. Yelpers are right when they say to allow extra time, it's a relaxed pace in here & just two people running the whole place . It took 25 minutes to get our order, but very worth the wait. This is going to be a regular stop for me! Thanks again to everyone for tipping us off to a great spot! read more

Quickie Too - Here's the exterior as of 6/09...it's easy to drive past...but don't. - Wraps Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I have been looking for vegan options since I have gotten here as far as far as restaurants go. So far this is one of the better places! All of their food here is vegan so any burgers you get will have tofu or seitan in them. I got the Crazy Jamaican Burger which tasted really good and had a sufficient kick to it! I got the spicy fries which also were very good! They have a few bakery items for sale so I got a coconut chocolate bar to take home. A nice cap off to the entire meal! If I would be critical at all with this place is that the service is a little slow, but very friendly. While the food was good I got hungry again very soon after. I guess it's better than getting hungry after eating a nasty fast food burger because the food here is pretty health oriented! read more

Ok even more amazing- they included a *free* pint of ice cream- and it's got apple pie mixed in.. delicious!

Yes! We loved this place. Stopped by on our way home from Seattle and it was worth going slightly out of our way to come in. The food was awesome. It took me quite some time to decide what I wanted because everything on the menu looked appetizing. I ended up with the Strami TLT and the Reese Cup milkshake and loved both. But, my husband had the Mexican Chocolate milkshake and I think that might have been even better than mine. Hard to say though because...well peanut butter. He also got the BBQ Burger and I wanted some. We will definitely come back on our next there/back trip to Seattle. Mmm. The restaurant itself was cool. Spacious and had really good reggie playing. read more

THE FOOD First off, I love meat. Second off, I generally loathe all things vegetarian. But my wife made me go here. I had the Jamaican Jerk Tofu Burger (which I thought sounded awful). But I'll admit it. That was darned tasty tofu. The photo I uploaded does not do the sandwich justice. The lighting was just awful and I could not capture its deliciousness. I have also ordered the Jamaican Jerk Tofu wrap which is also awesome. The Mac and Yease is a can't miss dish. While it taste nothing like Mac and Cheese, it's its own dish in its own right. They also carry a wide range of natural sodas (all your typical Marlene's and Whole Foods brands). THE AMBIANCE There is no ambiance. The place looks like its on its last legs. Let's face it, it looks like an out of business Dairy Queen in Hilltop. If this place looked like a Chipotle and was located in downtown Seattle, I think it would be a hot spot. As is, you just have to get past it because there's just no where they provides food like this in Tacoma. Also, don't go here when you are hungry because the wait can be long. Better to call ahead. But then again, sometimes they don't answer the phone. read more

Today when my sandwich was delivered I mentioned to my wife that I was a little bummed that it didn't come with the potato salad I thought was the side dish on the menu. I had forgone ordering a side of mac & yease knowing some good ol' vegan potato salad would really hit the spot. And then she said, "I think it's in your sandwich." No joke, the potato salad was on my seitan steak sub. I can really get behind an idea like this. In fact, I nominate it for president of ingenious. That sub was tremendously good, like every meal I've had at the various Quickie's locations. But a completely vegan restaurant in Tacoma? This is something of a vegan miracle. It doesn't just get five stars for being the only vegan restaurant around, Quickie Too really earns it. Mmm. read more

Me and my friend were in the city and were looking for a vegan spot and I am SO glad we stopped by at this place. The portions are huge. We got ours 'to-go' and the service was fairly fast and customer service was good! When you walk in you can sit down and menus are already there on the tables and then they'll come take your order if you want to dine-in. There is also parking on both sides of the restaurant. They don't have the healthiest options I'll say but they sure are GOOD. I mean if you're eating pretty healthy everyday it shouldn't be a problem? I'd definitely check it out if you have some cravings to be satisfied! read more

When we first walked in and sat down I noticed 2 cups on the widow sill to collect water that's leaking in. I managed to over look a building that's falling apart, but I can't over look the service. It's terrible!! After about 15 min we received nearly room temperature water, no ice, from a bucket on the counter. Classy! While most places have music in the background, this place had talk radio going. Fantastic! Now I get to people angrily "debating" each other while I continue to wait for the service I thought would never come. I was getting ready to propose we go somewhere else when we were finally acknowledged...but not before the table that walked in well after us has been addressed. What little service we received wasn't friendly and the no effort was made to earn my repeat business. By the time the order was placed we were up to about 35 min. Food itself took 30 min. to receive which is actually well above my expectations for this place. The wait staff gave each of us the wrong plate...even after confirming who ordered what. Seriously?! If you don't want to listen to the answer then don't bother asking the question. The service was unforgivably sloppy and it's the reason I won't be going back. The food itself was hit and miss, as well as overpriced. My mushroom melt was most certainly not worth the $13 I paid for it, but it does give me some ideas for home. The fries were limp and pathetic, though I have to give them credit for not piling the plate sky high -- that would have been a lot of wasted food! All and all I feel the product they serve isn't worth the wait and I have no idea why this place is rated so highly. read more

Edit: After coming back almost a year later, I've dropped my review down 2 stars. We called in our order about 20 minutes early and was told it would be 20 minutes. Showed up, was given subpar service when being rang up (the guy barely even talked or gave eye contact), and we waited another 30 minutes in the restaurant! Waiter told us ours was "next" then asked if we got something totally different than what we ordered and rang us up as 30 minutes prior... Finally given our food without so much as an apology for the insane wait and we received basically 8 french fries per sandwich and the smoky mushroom melt was a bit lack luster compared to previously. Still gave three stars for the taste but the portions, wait and service is definitely lacking now for the price. Never judge a book by its cover. While Quickie Too might be located in a questionable neighborhood, look run down on the outside and look less than fancy, the food is unbelievable! We've eaten at tons of vegan restaurants. Quickie too has variety, quality, flavor and large portions for a reasonable price. Don't kid yourself if you are looking for "healthy" because it's greasy and delicious here! I'd reckon even meat eaters would enjoy the food immensely. We ordered The Big "Fish" and the Smoky Mushroom Melt. The Big "Fish" tasted just like a battered, deep fried fish fillet sandwich and the Smoky Mushroom Melt was so cheesy, mushroomy, and the seitan was like steak! Both were amazing and full of flavor! We also got a Moon Pie that was delicious! We used to stop in Seattle to get Vegan food when we traveled, but we'd gladly detour to Tacoma just to eat here at Quickie Too again. read more

UPDATE: Make sure you have 2 hours for this place. I just went here on an especially slow day and it took forever. Also the burger wasn't as stellar as usual. Rookie help in the kitchen? This place is delicious!! I know some people might shy away from a "veggie burger" type of thing, but this is so tasty, fresh and filling that you'll wonder why you didn't eat here before. The flavors are absolutely outstanding. I had one of the best sandwiches of my life. (I say that as an omnivore too!) My Mom got the Jamaican burger and she really enjoyed it. She's tough to please, so that says a lot. You won't leave hungry! It's been half a day later and I'm still full! The caveat - don't go if you're on a fast timeline. As others have said, it may take a little while to get the goods to your table. But you'll be beyond glad you waited! Service was friendly and I will be back! read more

One of the best restaurants. I am not a vegan, but I eat here from time to time. Tried mac & yeese, southern comfort food, quesadilla etc. All are great. They do not use fake meats, they just use tofu or seitan.Give it a try even if you are not vegan read more

I had lunch here and the service was great. The waitress was approachable and friendly and that just added a nice touch to the meal. This was even moreso because at the time I came in she was the only person at the front (taking orders and waiting tables). The meal I had would've been almost perfect if it hadn't been extremely salty, though. Still, just because the food is vegan AND the service was great, I'd go back again and try something different from the menu. read more

How do people give this place 5 stars, I'll never know. If you know good food, even decent or mediocre food, you won't enjoy this. First of all, I looove trying out new vegan restaurants and I'm usually pretty satisfied even if the food is mediocre. The first red flag was how dirty the restaurant was. Food on the floor under furniture and tables, dirty menus, very dirty water glasses and old stuck on food still leftover on "clean" forks. So gross! The table I sat at was so sticky, I wanted to just get up and leave right then. Honestly the dirty fork and water glass is absolutely unacceptable at any restaurant, no matter the location. Now to the food. After I left, I felt like I had a brick in my stomach. It was all so heavy and left me feeling like I ate a bunch of dairy and meat. Not exactly what I was going for. I had the TLT and the mac n yease (yeaze?). Both were very heavy dishes and my daughter and I couldn't finish them. The flavors were ok, but the heaviness (like very fattening heavy cream/slathered in mayo type) was way too much for me. Just thinking about it honestly makes me sort of want to vomit. The service was good and I liked the funky interior and the reggae music. But I won't be coming back here mostly due to the cleanliness issue because for me, that's HUGE. Who knows if they even wash their hands in the kitchen when preparing food. Yuck. read more

The good was really good. The tofu wasn't typical mushy stuff but a good texture. I really liked the Jamaican flavor in the wrap. I wish I would have gotten the dinner size because I was hungry again an hour later. The service was really lax. Not very impressed with ordering as my waitress is putting the other table together. Hence the 4 star rating. She was super nice and knowledgeable though. I would recommend to try this place, just expect a country diner with Bob Marley everywhere attitude. read more

Bruh. What can I say? I came on a recommendation from a friend and I am beyond satisfied and stuffed. The mac n yease? It blew my frikkin mind.

The food here is the best vegan food I've eaten yet. It covers all of the comfort foods I've pined over and has given my husband and I more confidence in trying different products (tofu, tempeh, seitan). This place knows how to create many wonderful dishes that won't disappoint if you are craving hearty, tasty vegan meals . They also use doordash which is a win...like a 'standing in your kitchen smashing delicious sandwiches and a quesadilla straight out of the box' win. Everything we have tried so far has been great. read more

Been here years ago and forgot about it. Decided to give it another go. Two of us were vegan and we had one non vegan which would skewer their rating. Since I taste tested their item I can review it as a vegan. I had the Big Burger with fries. Tasted great. It is a big sandwich with all the fixings. The fries tasted great but were very oily. Hubby had the Chorizo Burrito and said it tasted great but could have used a bit more heat or some hot sauce as an option. The third person ordered the Tempeh Salad. She wasn't a fan of the tempeh however I thought it tasted great and the presentation was really nice. We rounded off the evening with two orders of cinnamon banana bread pudding since this was a birthday dinner. It was fantastic. Reminded me of bread pudding in England but not covered in clotted cream. It was tasty without being overly sweet. Our server did a great job. Sorry I didn't get his name. Prices are very reasonable. The lack of 5 stars is because the door had smudges and fingerprints all over it. And to use the restroom you had to go outside to the back of the building. Minor things I would say but curb appeal does make a difference. read more

As a vegan who loves soul food I was pleasantly surprised. The food was superb! I'll definitely be going back. I highly recommend this place. I rarely give reviews but the excellence of Quickie Too compelled me to share my excellent experience. read more

I just finished eating here and oh my gosh, it was amazing. I got the Lovers Club, and my friends got the sweet potato fries, Mac and Yease, the Crazy Jamaican Burger, and a chocolate shake. Everything was so so so good! The Lovers Club is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The winner from everything, though, was definitely the sweet potato fries. They were just so amazing; crispy but not too crispy, and salted to perfection. It was a good price for how much food we got. Even though we only interacted for a moment, the woman working was very nice! I'd definitely recommend their food (even if you're not vegan/vegetarian). Quality food and quality service. read more

My coworkers were adamant we come here for lunch. Tough spot for someone who doesn't eat grains, gluten, or soy or legumes. Fries? Cooked in the same oil as the other stuff... Gluten free bread for all the soy based "meat" alternatives... Potato salad... soy in the mayo. Collards? Tofu. Chips and salsa? Nope, chips are fried in the same oil as everything else. So, they made me a delicious plate of sweet potatoes, kale, potatoes, broccoli, and quinoa... although I don't think that was quinoa (my stomach would agree). The food was super tasty and very filling. I was so surprised at their willingness to accommodate my dietary needs. The service is sloooooow... but the friendliest in all of Tacoma! And certainly the most accommodating! I'll likely not be back because of all my conflicting restrictions but am happy that my coworkers were so blown away by their amazing dishes! read more

This is home town meals done vegan. Love their burgers. If you're vegan but crave comfort food. This is your place!

PHENOMENAL I cannot believe how good every single thing was. The big fish burger is perfection- tempeh, potato salad and slaw are all 10/10 individually and together. They managed to get rid of that tempeh bitterness that makes people (me included) often not like tempeh. So much flavor, well balanced and massive portions. I started the meal starving and couldn't even get close to finishing the burger and fries, yay leftovers! The fries are a lot like five guys with an even better seasoning blend. Mac n yease is also to die for too read more

Good service and cool place! The menu is huge and is divided in burgers, wraps, salads, sandwiches, desserts and main plates. I had the Jamaican wrap wish was made with tofu! Great taste!! It comes with rice and beans! Great Vegan restaurant!! We need more restaurants like this one!! I didn't hit the 5 stars because they still have fried food in oil. They should have an option like air fryer or baked. But everything else is great!! read more
