Review: I've been here a couple times and am pleased to review it here on HappyCow.net. Both times I came with friends, including non-vegetarians. They seemed to like it okay. It's diner style food and decor with booth seating and bar seating. The decor is interesting and colorful, a bit retro.
For vegans and vegetarians there are wraps, a couple sandwiches, and usually a vegan soup. I think the food was decent but not memorable. Oh, I hear that they sometimes offer a vegan cinnamon roll (haven't been back to try it though). With so many pure vegetarian and vegan choices in Santa Monica, Swingers is just not on my list of go-to. But it's veg friendly enough and you can come with non-veg friends.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: I ate here with some friends late one night in October 2007. I was so happy to see vegan options clearly labeled on a diner menu. I had the quinoa salad which had orange juice squeezed on top... yum! I also had the vegan cookies. (Yes, that is right, you can get vegan cookies at a dinner!) This place is great for when you are out with your friends that aren't vegan and it is way after the vegan restaurants have closed. Also, while I love RFD and find the price to be worth it my non-vegan friends in LA do not share this opinon. I'll probably end up going here again the next time I am in Santa Monica.
Pros: vegan options at a dinner * this includes vegan cookies * open late
Cons: * * |

Review: I only gave this four cows since it wouldn't let me do five. I would've never even thought to check this place out had I not seen the reviews here. There aren't a TON of vegan options, but just enough to find something you like. I personally became addicted to the Greek Platter (just ask for no cheese on the salad). They also have vegan cookies. The decor is really funky & fun, with purple cows painted on the walls! It's basically a welcome change from the usual mellow vegan places I dine at. The servers were awesome as well and even though I don't live too close to Santa Monica, I intend to eat here again & again.
Pros: service * pita & hummus * funky decor
Cons: limited parking * * |

Review: I went to this place after a concert very late at night [I also went a second time during the day]. I agree that it is loud, and the food is so so, but I would go back again [I already have ;)]. The Vegan Wrap and their version of the Veggie Burger were pretty good! If anything, the atmosphere is worth it.
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: This place is LOUD. The food is soso, but hey, its late at night and you want some vegan food so options are slim. If you're into loud music with your vegan burrito then this place is for you. I seriously had to wear ear plugs last time I was in there. Everyone is very nice and vegan friendly. If you're a vegan in LA you MUST put this place in your memory banks, it comes in handy when your with a group of drunks that are hungry and you don't want to suffer at a non vegan establishment.
Pros: open late * *
Cons: loud * * |
