"veggie burger rocks!"   My Rating
3 veganterp2010	Posted on: Wednesday, July 14, 2010
	Review: i only got to eat here one time a few weeks before i left atlanta and i could choke myself for not going sooner! besides the fact that it was literally around the corner from my apartment the last year, the veggie burger was sooooooo delicious...we were having a going away dinner for me and half of the people didn't show up but the waitstaff were more than accommodating, understanding, and nice about how long we were there and i didn't get any negative vibes from the staff like i anticipated from reading other reviews...(my party was all 'brown' and included my Muslim friend)...oh! and the dessert! omg! p.s. figure out where the free parking is b/c we ended up paying 6.00 b/c we parked in the wrong area...   Pros: Veggie burger! * location * decor Cons: a tad pricey * parking *

"if you only try one veg place in ATL, try this one"   My Rating
15 clashbabi	Posted on: Monday, November 30, 2009
	Review: This place is not 100% vegan/vegetarian BUT has plenty of options for us veggie people. Cool thing is, you can take your non-veg friends and everyone is happy. In fact, a non-veg friend of mine recommended this place to me. On a Sunday afternoon, this place was BUSY and the service was fairly slow, BUT the food was worth the wait. We had a tofu scramble ((which I highly recommend)) although tofu was not on the menu they were more than happy to substitute it for eggs. I definitely did not regret getting the 8 Dollar Shake --perfect cure to a perfect hangover. ((i did not so much enjoy the Raw Walnut Sunflower Pate & Raw Guacamole --you could tell they make the plates up and put them in away in a cooler until ordered --the problem is the veggies were soggy & hardly fresh)) I definitely look forward to visitng this restaurant again when I am back in ATL.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Excellent Choice if dining w/ meat eating friends"   My Rating
17 snowy11480	Posted on: Thursday, June 18, 2009
	Review: I was down visiting friends in Atlanta (from Philadelphia) and our second night in town we dined here since some of us were Vegetarian/vegan and some were not. I had read about this place online (some top veg restaurants in Atlanta writeup maybe) and we passed it the night before on our way somewhere else. Looked really neat! So we went there night two and Loved the unique-ness of the place! and food! For appetizers we ordered the Grilled Veggies with Raw Hummus - big portion! it came with a side of the coconut kefir dip and pita breas. Great choice. For dinner - I had the Down Home Bowl which was really good but not as flavorful as i had expected. my meat eater friends had the Cajun Sautee (he loved it) and my other friend had the Warmed Chicken Supreme Salad which she raved about. I didn't sample these b/c i don't eat meat. The ambiance is really unique and fun! You sit outside under an awning and the sides are just strings of curtain beads (at least it was when i was there). I loved all the organic options and the raw food choices as well (even though i didn't go that route this visit). they also grow a lot of their own foods there on site which i thought was cool. we had good service but i can imagine that when they are really busy service could falter a bit... not a lot of waiters. I would definitely return!   Pros: Raw food options * Organic! * Unique atmosphere1 Cons: Meat on menu * A bit expensive for this type setting *

"Late Night Option"   My Rating
189 SynthVegan	Posted on: Monday, August 25, 2008
	Review: I arrived in Atlanta very late during my stay and it was nice to have a late night option available. I ate here twice; during my first visit I had the Vegan burger and it was very good, second visit I had Vegan cake and chips and guacamole [they confirmed it was Vegan]. The food was good, but the service is very slow. They get really busy late at night too. The decor is very nice and there are wind chimes among other things hanging all over the place.   Pros: * * Cons: Pricey * Slow Service *

"one of my favorites - this should be a 5!"   My Rating
4 gitanadelaluna	Posted on: Friday, March 14, 2008
	Review: Only once in the last 3 years of eating here did I have a less than great experience. Everyone can eat here after a night out and be happy with the food. They have Omni, Veg, Vegan and Raw! Also a couple macrobiotic dishes if you are into that. The $7 Up early and out late Shake is well worth the $$ and a great boost when you are going to be up even later! The first time I had the vegan burger I am glad I had a friend who ate it all the time with me. It looks and smells like a meatburger. It is really amazing. The vegan cakes and raw apple pie are killer. I dream about their raw cheese plate with pears and veggies. Note: if it is cold outside - bring a coat! and if it is warm - make sure you can take a layer off. The dining area is like a big plastic tent. They do have atmospheric controls, but it still gets a little chilly. But where else are you gonna get a delicious Raw Meal at 4 AM?   Pros: open 24/7 * raw food! * anyone can eat there Cons: * *

"Not Impressed"   My Rating
5 Ghoulira	Posted on: Tuesday, January 01, 2008
	Review: I used to wait tables at Cafe intermezzo across the street from R.Thomas and I ate there twice. The first time was strange, the waiter seemed a little too into me since I was with my husband, and my husband was shocked by their prices. So much that it spoiled his appetite and he only ordered a few eggs (which he didnt like for 7 dollars!). I ordered the sausage queen omelette (back when I was vegetarian), and it was great but the portion was a little small for the price, $11!!! The iced mint tea was good, but we both left feeling wallet raped and still hungry! The second visit I ordered sloppy veggie joe takeout while working and hated it! It tasted nothing like a sloppy joe and was dry as hell! The sides lacked flavor and I felt wallet raped again ($14 total!). Not many great vegan options either.   Pros: good service * * Cons: expensive food * bland food, small portions * bad parking

"Fun place"   My Rating
GUEST	Posted on: Saturday, June 30, 2007
	Review: This restaurant was created and has continued to be modified by R. Thomas himself, who still is always on the scene, chatting with diners and mending his flowers and pets. The dining area is actually a patio -- very laid back and comfortable. While most of the dishes are vegan (and healthily so-- not fried or fake meat, but wonderful combinations of quinoa and veggies, beans, nuts or various raw veggie platters), they do serve meat. However, all meat and eggs are free-range and as many ingredients as possible are organic. They have delicious smoothies and fresh juices made on the premises. The menu was varied enough that I was able to get quinoa with veggies and tofu and wasabi, and my guest had a cheeseburger with sweet potatoes. They no longer carry vegan cakes, but they did have a raw apple pie that tasted like traditional sweet apple pie filling and had nuts on top as a crust. The atmosphere was fun and one of a kind-- a mixture of kitsh and live. I don't like animals being around me, but was so delighted when a preying mantus landed on me, just because I realized there was probably no other restaurant in the city where this would happen. You can get there by taking the MARTA to the Arts Center station and continuing along West Peachtree St for about 1 mile. In Atlanta, a mile walk feels a lot longer if you aren't used to the heat, but I checked twice and verified that it is indeed only 0.7 miles from the subway station.   Pros: Organic * Many vegan options * So tasty! Cons: Caged birds outside * No separate checks *

"Late Night Favorite"   My Rating
10 441dave	Posted on: Saturday, December 30, 2006
	Review: Though not 100% vegetarian, R Thomas has plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The bowls are our favorite, as well as the flax-seed "pate". The seating area is all patio, but has space heaters and zip-up sides for when it gets cold. One time they let us bring our dogs, the next time they didn't. I guess the policy depends on who's enforcing it. They have vegan desserts, but they aren't the greatest.   Pros: open late * wide variety of teas * good coffee Cons: not 100% vegtarian * inconsistent dog policy *
