Just okay

Ate here on a recent visit to Utah. Wanted to love it, but the food could be better. On the positive side, the service is friendly and fast! I had a breakfast plate. One of my daughters had a salad that was more chips than salad. The other daughter had a veggie bowl that was just okay. We did love the Mac and cheese bites we ordered for an appetizer!

Rude waitress

I’m 100% sure the waitresses were saying something about us because they would look at us and then laugh. The food was okay, the stroganoff was not what I’m used to. The wine flavor was too strong which I’ve never had in a stroganoff, I’m used to more of a gravy flavor. I posted a review on Google and whoever responded appeared upset with what I had to say and made some remarks. Saying that I’m “out of my mind.”

Pros: Brownie

Cons: Service, Management , Stroganoff

Hooray for 100% vegan menu

So grateful to find this diner! Extensive menu is all vegan with many different types of food and protein options. I went for breakfast but they are open from 9AM to 10PM! Friendly staff and reasonably priced. 90% of the menu can be gluten-free as well. Stop on your way to or from the airport (15 minutes away) if you’re visiting!

Pros: All vegan, To go options, Fast and friendly service

So grateful for this place

I eat here at least once a day every time I come to SLC. Sometimes twice a day. This is the best vegan food in town and I haven’t tried anything close.

Fun place to eat, with a community feel

Great, varied menu, we ordered a mac & cheese with spicy chik'n bites, mushroom stroganoff, and thai lettuce wraps made with tempeh & veggies. Plus, a mocha milkshake for dessert, made with locally-made ice cream. Excellent, friendly service, tasty food. Noticed lots of activities advertised, including events (e.g. open mic, all-you-can-eat pizza night, art night, bingo, trivia). Seems like a great community place. Need to go back to try more menu items.

Pros: Varied Menu, Great service, Fun events - good for community

All you can eat pizza night!

Happened to be here on an All you can eat pizza and salad night for the bargain price of US$15.00. My favourite by far was the buffalo chikn pizza, which was delicious and freshly made. I also had the mac n cheese, ham n pineapple, and artichoke dip pizza, some of which were lukewarm.
The salad was a nice side and some much needed health.
The staff were really friendly and great (well except the one who didn't even inform me of pizza night), especially the guy who saw me looking around to get someone to cancel my order so I can do the pizza night instead.
I would have loved to come back for the all day breakfast.

Pros: Buffalo chikn pizza, Great staff

Tasty Diner Food in SLC

We've been coming to Vertical Diner since it open and was back at its much smaller location. This was our first visit to the larger location and it's greatly improved over the years. Many options to choose from, fun vibe and good location. Had the Chili fries, The mountain, and the daybreak burrito w/soyrizo. Finished off with peanut butter brownie milkshake. Left full and happy.

Pros: Options, Fun diner feel , Tasty food

Cons: Wobbly table ( biggest con)

Traveling thru

Our family really enjoyed all aspects of the Vertical Diner! Not only did they serve an all vegan menu, but they also offered a gluten-free option for almost every menu item! They also supported other local like-minded small business! Thanks!!

Pros: Burgers, Breakfast, Shakes

Great food and friendly staff, retro atmosphere

Vertical Diner in SLC has great food, friendly staff, and a fun retro atmosphere.
At each table they also have a complete listing of all the other plant based restaurants in the Salt Lake Valley.
We had the Vertical Tacos and pancakes with tofu scramble this time, both of which were great.

Pros: Vertical Tacos, Supports other plant based eateries, Fun retro atmosphere

Such a cool down to earth diner

The food is pretty bomb! I will say that once when we went, there were ants crawling all over, but I didn't see that issue last time we were there. I imagine they fixed it :)

Pros: Bomb Food, Good Value, Quick Service

Cons: Cleanliness

Great service, ok food

AYCE pizza, awesome idea, don't see this kind of thing too often at vegan restaurants. The pizza was like your typical [censored] bar pizza, for better or worse. For me, I found that it started great but the more full I got the worse the pizza tasted. I will say their made in house sausage (the ingredient) is phenomenal.

The fries were a little disappointing. Not crispy at all.

The dipping sauces were good. And the service was excellent.

If you're a bit of a pizza snob I recommend you stick to the traditional flavors on your visit.

Yummy brekkie and burgers!

I had The Mountain and it was really good! My mom did a build your breakfast with mushrooms, potatoes, and tempeh bacon…it was a little strange that they all came out in separate dishes instead of just on one plate so you could eat them together. We also got burgers to go and they were good too!

Was so happy to find this spot while passing through salt lake—we went two times in the 12 hours we were in town! We’ll priced for the portions, yummy food with lots of options, great decor (animals🥺), and good service. Yay for vegans in salt lake

Great place!

Such delicious food. The prices were amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was quick! Everybody was very kind. I deducted a star because my spouse and I both got French toast; his was over-cooked and mine was still raw in some places. The French toast also had like four berries on it. Aside from that, it was absolutely delicious and we cannot wait to come back someday!
