Review: I have to say I was a little nervous about entering this diner. Being an African American Religious couple, I did not know what type of reaction we'd get from the people there (customers or staff). But much to my surprise, the staff was very friendly, and we did not get stared at.
My husband and I enjoyed our dinner it was very delicious. I had the TOfu Mitch Club sandwich. Mmm. Mmm. There were some items on the menu I did not like though (that's to be expected). But overall it was great! The only thing I'd complain about(And I can't really complain; as I am extremely greatful to finally be able to eat at a restaurant without having to worry about foods that needed to be avoided) would be the pricing. I was not used this sort of place, so it kind of caught me off guard. They seemed to charge for almost everything (ie: ketchup & barbecue sauce). But It's okay. We've still continued eating there from time to time (Its a distance from where we live).
I have tried a couple other restaurants:
1. Veggie Garden
2. New Start's Veggie Garden

Both are great places. I plan to write reviews on them as well. In the future I'd like to try:
1. Suma's Veggie Cafe
2. Madras Pavilion

 
Pros: Vegan * Most Food is Delicious * People Friendly
Cons: Somewhat Pricey * *

Review: Ohhh....how happy I was to finally find this "Sanctuary!" The most delectable "All you can eat" pancakes and agave nectar Sundays for just $5! EVERYTHING is VEGAN!! I've never experienced the comfort and peace of mind of knowing that I didn't have to worrry if something was Vegan or not except for when I cook for myself. I trust this place and praise the Vegan God's for all of it's wonderfully yummie 100% vegan meals from sweeteners to nutritional yeast on the bar to the chewy cookie sundays!!
 
Pros: Artsy * Clean * Kid Friendly
Cons: Kinda Pricey * *

Review: The food here is really tasty. The menu is full of comfort-food options and everything is vegan. I highly recommend the Chopped BBQ San'ich and the baked goods. Most of the servers are really nice. My only complaint is that every time I've eaten here, the service has been super slow (while the restaurant wasn't busy). It can be a little frustrating waiting 20 minutes for the check or to order a drink. But I'll keep on coming here because the food is so good.
 
Pros: Good food * Diner-style, vegan food * Friendly staff
Cons: Slow service * *

Review: Just a few short days ago I asked an attendant in a small store where she thought I could find vegetarian food in the land of beef. She directed me to Spiral Dinner and sent me on my way with a little map. If I had followed to map I would have made it there in a few blocks instead I got lost and walked about 15 blocks before I corrected my route. I was determined and no matter how hot or how far I finally made it to this lovely haven. I walked in and was greeted by a friendly staff, which got me water, and sat me down in one of their cute booths to cool off. I browsed through the menu, which is huge and varied and I finally figured out what to order. I had the Mitch Tofu Club and it was amazing and a smoothie which was out of this world!!!!!! The prices were reasonable and again the staff was really friendly. They sent me on my way with water to go and directions back to the area I had left from. I found my way easily back to my car (surprisingly only a few blocks away) and back to Spiral diner a few days later to enjoy more of their great food. I wish I could transport this restaurant back to my neighbourhood in Canada.
 
Pros: Amazing Food * Loads of Choice * Great Atmosphere
Cons: * *

Review: We love spiral diner! They have great food with lots of choices, sound moral practices and a pretty good atmosphere. I've had a lot of problems with them either forgetting things we've ordered, getting orders wrong or just plain leaving us waiting for ages when everyone around us is getting their food. Honestly though, we still go there and still enjoy it. The staff is personable and it's probably the one place in town where I don't feel I'm being stared at.
 
Pros: reasonable prices * good food *
Cons: obnoxious scenesters * unreliable service *

Review: Run, don't walk to this oasis for vegans. 100% vegan, mostly organic. At any given time they will always be at least 50-60% organic. The food is just insane. From wraps and sandwiches, pastas and hearty, tasty salads to smoothies---and the desserts...oh my goodness, the desserts. You will think you have died. The sweet potato pie will make you cry! =) But their sundae is my favorite. Nothing is more expensive than $11. They donate a portion of proceeds to great causes...so you're not only having guilt free food, but you're helping out in a bigger way. The VLT is amazing (add avocado) and it's under $5. Run to this location! Vegans and carnivores alike will thoroughly enjoy it! One thing--don't go to this restaurant expecting fast, prompt service--they are really laid back, so you'll be there for a while!
 
Pros: great healthy cuisine * great vibe * healthy portions
Cons: staff is slow, but tires * *
