Best bet in Brookland
Posted on 06 / 08 / 2012i've eaten at Brookland Cafe maybe 100 times now. i'll never forget my first visit--super unassuming exterior (you might not even realize it's not abandoned) reveals a tiny but high-swank little restaurant. The folks who work there are super positive, push vegan options DIY many if not most of the sauces. Everything's got a little zing to it.
Cuisine is American--burgers, fries and other sides.
The vegan options which are extensive--choice of about 8 sandwiches, a half-dozen sides (more if you're ovalacto).
i recommend bringing a friend so you can share the vegan shrimp appetizer (white yam). i'd get the vegan fish sandwich, fries (mixed spicy & lemon seasoning), slaw or carrot salad and a lemonade.
Sandwiches are in the $8 range.
i hear tell the chef used to work at Soul Veg, but i've no confirm on that.
Pros: Vegan menu section with like 8 options, Positive energy people, Mostly in-house-made sauces and drinksCons: Often crowded at night, Swank factor can be alienating, Not all vegetarian
