Excellent Sammys

Ordered the vegan melt and I liked it but thought the chimichurri sauce was a little overpowering. Nothing too bad. I would love to try other sandwiches from here. They all sound pretty good.

Delicious Vegan Sandwiches!

I order their vegan sandwiches for takeout sometimes, and all of them have been great! The vegan buffalo melt has been my favorite so far.

Amazeballs, one million stars!

Friendliest staff and the most amazing sandwiches omg. I came back for at least three meals over the weekend I was in town; for one of them, I ordered every veg sandwich for takeout to have a "tasting" party with friends. Everyone had different opinions but the buffalo melt was my absolute favorite (followed by the melt, the Philly, and the Reuben). Sooo good. Ambiance-wise, this is absolutely a local dive bar gem and the regulars may have given me a bit of a side eye when I walked in looking out of place, but the bartenders were SO friendly and delightful, it didn't feel unwelcoming at all. I would for sure be a regular if I lived in the area. But I'll be back!! The food and the beer offerings are all phenomenal. Note: they offer a variety of chip flavors as a side for the sandwiches, all the choices are vegan except for the Maui Onion flavor (which the bartenders know and will warn you about! It has milk powder in it because of course it does).

Pros: Delicious sandwiches, Homemade seitan, Friendly staff

Cons: Fries would be an awesome addition

Solid spot with vegan menu!

Always cool to see unexpected places - especially bars - that offer vegan meat alternatives vs. just veggies & tofu (though I do love both, haha). They offer five vegan options — four sandwiches and a salad.

The vegan philly was good! Pretty filling, flavorful, and the bread was soft. Upgraded to a side salad with vegan ranch.

Housemade seitan?!

Tasty spot! Good enough I’d go back but didn’t looove the Rueben. Felt like the Philly was better. I’ll try the Buffalo Sammy next time! Loved that they make stuff in house and have so many options and actually tasty/quality vegan ingredients. Also actually reasonably priced which was refreshing.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Housemade seitan and other items, Reasonably priced

Buffalo Anything

Tacoma bars offer some of the best vegan food in town and 1111 is no exception. You can’t go wrong with any of the items that feature buffalo sauce and house made vegan ranch.

Pros: Tasty vegan options

Cons: Limited seating options, not good for large group

Vegan Rueben of my Dreams

Loved my experience at Peterson Bros 1111 (that’s the actual name). The waitress was super sweet and helpful. The Rueben was amazing. I subbed a salad (up charge of $2.25!) with the vegan ranch they have. Absolutely delish!

Pros: Dedicated vegan menu, Vegan sides, Yummy cocktails

Cons: Pricier than I anticipated for a “shabby pub”

Great food! Awesome dive bar

A place that makes their own meats always starts off in a good place with me. I had the Reuben which always is a risk because they tend to be really greasy, but it was amazing! It was delicious. Had vegan salad dressing options for the side salad. Definitely will be coming back.

Sandwiches done correctly

Dunno if "shabby" was meant to be a good or bad, but the bar has a noticeably long history and it's divey with a lot of chotchkies. Separated vegan menu with great sandwiches! As a New Yorker, the Reuben is hands down the best vegan Reuben I've had on the west coast. The Buffalo soy curl sammie had a great heat and awesome texture. 1111 knows how to sauce well. I could easily feed these to my meat-eating friends and they'd be wonderfully surprised at the comfort food quality. If you need a quick bite and a drink, this is your spot!

Pros: Sandwiches well done , Would be 5 stars if I could , Awesome eye curios on the walls

New Vegan menu!

There are about eight pure vegan options, (see picture) they also have vegan salad dressing like Ranch and Blue Cheese!
This should be listed as a vegan restaurant

Pros: Half the menu is straight vegan, Even have vegan salad dressing!!;

Cons: None

I can only do 4 stars because it is not 100% vegan options here but oh my word!

The vegan options they do have here totally merit a 5 star review! This is our new favorite vegan spot. The sandwiches are so delicious! Definitely worth it!

Pros: Delicious , Easy to order

Cons: Parking can be harder due to construction rt now, It is a bar so we can’t go in and eat as a family

Dream about this place

Before going on a 7 day hike it was decided we’d go straight here after completing the 93 mile trek. It was talked and dreamt about the whole week when the day finally came it did not disappoint. Quite possibly the best vegan sandwiches Ive had and will ever have! The bread is what takes these hoagies to the next level. The filling to bread ratio is just perfect, it’s an unassuming dive bar, I could on and on. We’ve eaten the Reuben, the Buffalo and the vegan melt, obviously will have to return for the Philly.

Hit the spot, great bartender!

Covered the vegan sandwich menu.
The Reuben-- oh wow. Rye hoagie, yes, rye. Wow. Well proportioned seitan, kraut, cheese, Russian dressing.
The Philly-- white hoagie w too few peppers/onions but good amount seitan and whiz. Great whiz.
The Melt-- sourdough hoagie. Spicy chimichuri sauce, chopped toms and lettuce. Nice cheese slice on goodly amount seitan. Advertised as "meatloaf", nope.
The Buffalo melt-- white hoagie. Medium spice sauce, tangy ranch and creamy melted cheese. Soy curls well dowsed in Buffalo sauce.
All w full size hoagie roll type bread. Soft, warm, perfect. Great squish factor.

Five star if I could!

I live in Olympia and my omni daughter was visiting from CA, so we had to pick a place that could please both of us while in Tacoma. I am so glad we picked this place. I had the vegan rueben and it was excellent. The next time I am in Tacoma I definitely will return.

Pros: Parking lot half a block away, Several vegan options, Employees super nice and helpful

Reuben + chocolate cake

We drove almost an hour to get here, and it was worth it! The Reuben was excellent. It was served with a small bag of chips and I was still a little hungry after. No vegan appetizers, but there are vegan dressings available for salads. We also got the chocolate cake and it was perfectly moist and absolutely scrumptious!

Pros: Good vegan options , Inexpensive

Cons: Small portions

Hail Seitan!

The vegan melt is a burly and delicious sandwich, I'd never had chimichurri before but now I want to put it on everything.

Great options

Awesome vegan selection at a sweet dive. Easy place to eat with non-vegans, even my 70-year-old dad liked the place. Staff was super friendly, played good music. I got the Vegan Melt with a side salad. Delicious.

Pros: Good food, lots of options, nice staff

Best vegan sandwiches in Tacoma!

My absolute favorite place for sandwiches. I’m obsessed with their vegan philly! Their homemade seitan is the best I’ve ever had. A little sad that they delisted themselves from ubereats, but they’re always worth the drive to pick up or dine in. Can’t wait to try the vegan chocolate peanut butter cake!

Pros: Homemade seitan
