We decided to split an appetizer and 2 entrees. The Wedge salad was delicious with a homemade blue cheese dressing that a wonderful taste. It came with marinated onions, cherry tomatoes and real bacon crumbles. We had the Breakfast Burger, pink inside and it came with nice thin cut fries. We also got the Grits bowl with an added fried chicken cutlet and added sauteed vegetables. Everything was nicely prepared and plated. Our server checked back with us several times, refilled our water and made sure everything was going well. I love all the eclectic decorations, mismatched plates and glasses and vintage items all over. I'll definitely be returning. As a nice touch one of the items on the table lists upcoming special events.

It's bright, open, and inviting with plenty of seating. Secondly, staff are very friendly and helpful! And thirdly, their food is amazing! I'm not vegan but their food is genuinely delicious. We ordered the loaded nachos, chicken parm sandwich, and the sweet sassy molassey sandwich, chocolate mint milkshake and a green tea. The half order of loaded nachos was generous in size and toppings! It was filling without being heavy. All of the ingredients were fresh. Probably one of my top loaded nachos ever. The chicken parm sandwich was also amazing! If I didn't know this was a vegan restaurant, I would not have known that the chicken was not meat. It had the texture of perfectly cooked chicken. The stretch bread was soft, the marinara was warm and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 sandwich. The sweet sassy molassey was also quite good! Very bright, filled with vegetables and deliciously seasoned tofu. Finally, the milkshake! I would have never guessed it was vegan. It was creamy, minty, and chocolatey - like drinking thin mints! I'm determined to squeeze in more visits here before they close!

This is the place you take people who think vegan food can't be good. It's one of my top 5 vegan restaurants in the US.

It's a great place to sit with friends or even to sit with your work computer. 100% recommend - once you go, you'll just keep going back. (Chicken salad sandwich is my favorite so far!)

For drinks they have a good selection of beers on tap, usually 10-20, from local and national breweries. The server offered me a sample before I fully committed on a beer I had a question about and I appreciated being able to try it before committing to a full glass. The Evergreen's menu itself is accessed through a QR code where their full list of options and specials are listed. My group opted to share the beer fries and they were taaaasty, pillowy soft, crunchy, and amazingly well seasoned. The vegetarian options are a regular part of the restaurant and the fried tofu I had was genuinely satisfying and well done. My cajun pasta was maybe a touch over but I was okay with it since it had my condiment obsession of chili crisp in it. The menu is well marked for dietary needs. A great thing of note is that they have women's, men's, AND an all-gender bathroom. I appreciate the inclusion in the food and restaurant itself. Car parking is street parking, it's accessible via the Centro bus system, and there is an artistic broken-chain shaoed bike rack just across the street from the restaurant. My group was happy with the prices and service for an early Wednesday dinner in a wintry March.

It takes forever to read through the list. The bartender pushed me to choose from her recommendations instead of reading through the menu. The whole thing seems set up for people who don't know much about beer and just want to try something at random. On top of that, the music was too loud and I left with a headache.

Friendly informative service with little wait time. Made my Buffalo Chicken wrap to order and loaded it right up! Huge wrap for $10.95! All the ingredients were very fresh and delicious. I was only going to eat half but it was so good and not going to keep well in the heat I ate it as a bowl with just the wrap ingredients. The craft beverage was strawberry and some other fruit and berry mix. Refreshing and hydrating, fast food chains charge more for soda! This meal is a total win for $15 and change! Even the silverware is made from plant starch! Love the concept and the health factor. Clean restaurant with modern industrial vibe. Attached to Hafner's Market and has seating outside the cafe by waterfront and plants. I would say Core for the win! I try chicken wraps at many establishments and am always looking for the best quality, and this by far is the best all around!

Very large space and tables are well spaced out to give everyone some privacy. I wanted to specifically make it for the lunch because I wanted to try the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes which came with greens and a side of protein. I choose potatoes. I also ordered a peach Bellini drink. Delicious!!! Definitely hit the spot. The food portions are big so I couldn't finish all my food but if I had space in my stomach I would have licked the plate clean. The staff is friendly. Someone who I assume is the owner was walking around greeting guests. My server was great really payed attention to his guests.

Walking through the restaurant was nice as the space was very large and the decor indoor was cozy and whimsical. Our server was nice throughout the meal. However, I did get a water glass that had marks on it that looked like someone just drank out of it and a crumb on the rim. I asked them if they could get me a clean cup and they ended up bringing the same one as the same mark and crumb were still there. For food, our table ordered a few items to share. We got: -CAULIFLOWER WINGS: The chutney/salsa on top of the fried cauliflower was nice and gave the item a little sour kick. However, the cauliflower itself was not cooked fully so not as soft as I wanted it to be. -SYRACUSE POUTINE: The appearance of the poutine was not the best. However, the gravy it came with was very flavorful and tasty. The potatoes themselves were not fried and were in wedge form but went well with the gravy. The small globs of melted cheese on top were a nice complement. -CAJUN SLIDERS: The slider compliments/sauce went well together but the sliders themselves had grill marks on it which gave a bitter bite to those parts of the slider. Additionally, the fried shrimp inside of the slider still had the tail on and so it was a bit of a surprise to bite into a full tail while eating a slider. All in all, a cute spot to see people but food had some hit or miss components.

We started out both getting the Dutch Mules to drink; which was a nice crisp take on a classic Moscow Mule. I also got The Stapleton later; which consisted of a fine whiskey, triple sec, OJ, and some other additives which was like drinking a whiskey mimosa without the bubbles. Super delish! My wife got the Knickerbocker sandwich on the special list, and I got the Huckleberry panini. Both very satisfying and satiating in their own ways. Both came with homemade in house chips covered in light spices We loved it, and will be back! Reasonable prices without cutting costs; which is definitely appreciated these days.

Their flavor notes to describe their drinks were very helpful to figure out what you'd like and our server was very helpful with making sure we got what we wanted! Our food was amazing and the price for everything was relatively fair and I think affordable for two people to get the full experience! I left extremely happy and definitely coming back for another date night!
