Limited options

I was about to go back here, since I came a couple of years ago and am hungry downtown. The menu online shows even fewer vegan options so I'll find somewhere else. Disappointing for a LBC place, since their other bars are much more accommodating.

The burger I had a couple years ago was tasty but basic. Expensive.

Lacking vegan options

This place really only offers a the standard meat-bar vegan fare: Gardein vegan burger and some snacks like a hummus plate. Standard meat restaurant food. Not really a good vegan spot. Good drinks, cool decor.

Pros: Nice decor, Good drinks, Nice staff

Cons: Few vegan options

It's a bar

The food was ok. It's a bar, dimly lit and not a great selection of food to choose from. I wouldn't go back.

Romantic

A nice upscale bar that has vegan food. We were impressed with the menu as only 2 items were not vegan. Their General Tso Cauliflower dish was excellent and their Mac & Cheese was the best vegan Mac & cheese we've ever had! Great atmosphere and some real romantic areas.

Pros: Romantic , Very reasonable , Many vegan options

Cons: Parking

Gosh, these are some conflicting statements on the Jackknife Bar! I've been there for drinks but assumed they had no vegan food, but some disagree; do they or don't they? I live close by and will stop in again to see about the vegan mac and cheese and the General Tso cauliflower. Thanks for the tip.
