• Below average food/service, no longer vegan

I am deleting my previous review for Radical Eats, which I wrote when they were a vegan restaurant. To be honest, I never thought their food was that good - even when it was all-vegan. The cream cheese in their stuffed jalapenos tasted like it was right out of a Tofutti container and other dishes were heavy-handed and messy as well. I thought they had one great taco, but that was about it. I went, though, because I wanted to support a local vegan business. So when they started to serve dairy, then eggs, and finally meat, I was not willing to spend my money on their at-best mediocre food. I did try it once since they reopened as a omnivore restaurant on Westheimer, and it was just like I remembered. The food was just okay. And the service was some of the worst I've ever experienced - we waited almost 20 minutes to see a waiter after we were seated. (I've heard that they don't have service problems if you go on a special night: Valentine's Day, New Years, when they hire extra staff.) They do have a Sunday brunch (different prices for vegan, vegetarian, or meat brunch), but it's expensive (especially given the quality of the food). I supported this place when it was vegan, but now that it's just another restaurant with vegan options, I have no qualms about saying that it is not very good and I do not eat there at all.
