• Fantastic! So grateful for this place!

My husband and I finally made it out to V-Eats last night...the coldest night of the year so far, and we were not disappointed. Wow. Just wow. First of all, the Trinity Groves area is such a fun, trendy spot, and great location for this little gem of a restaurant. V-Eats fits right in. The restaurant space itself is great. Totally hip, yet comfortable with a good amount of seating. It appears that all sides of the restaurant have garage doors that would open in warmer weather to give an open air feel to your dining experience. We arrived at 7pm, and were lucky enough that there was one table available, so we were seated immediately. We started with the smoked artichoke and sausage pizza, which was off-the-charts amazing. The cheese was even soft and stringy, and would fool even the biggest cheese lover. I'm from Wisconsin, so I should know! I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, but they had just run out of it for the evening, which was a bit of a disappointment. Instead I decided to try the Beastless Burger made with seitan. It came with a side of yucca fries, which were really pretty darn amazing. I would definitely recommend them! The burger totally satisfied my craving for a real hamburger that I have not had in a long time since we're mostly raw, and 100% vegan in our household. My husband ordered the Southern Plate, and could not stop oooohing and ahhhhing throughout the meal. He made everyone at the table try all his different dishes that came with the meal, each one being better than the last. We dined with some of our non-vegan friends who were just as impressed as we were with the food. They ordered the Strawberry Fields salad, which my friend said was really good, and the dressing was wonderful. Her date ordered the Salisbury steak and said it was remarkable how much like the real thing it really was. He insisted we all try it so we could see. For dessert we ordered the Banana Foster Bread Pudding and the Cheesecake of the week, which was a banana chocolate peanut butter. Both were absolutely fabulous! The best part about the place was the prices. My husband and I ordered an appetizer, two entrees, a dessert, and one beer, and the total bill was $58, which I consider totally reasonable for a specialty meal of this quality. I make a lot of Vegan and raw vegan meals, so I know the cost that can go into making meals like this. I highly recommend trying V-Eats, even if you're not vegan. You will be absolutely blown away by the quality and flavors. I am soooo grateful to live in a city that offers vegan options like this. Looking forward to their expanded hours in January!
