Dancing dog is awesome! - Edit
The Dancing Dog is a great year round Vegan restaurant in Champaign. Has a lot of options including desserts that change everyweek. It's also very well priced. Only thing is that they're only open 11:30 to 2:30 so if you can find time to go for lunch I would highly recommend.
Read morePros: All vegan, Multiple options including dessert, Decently priced for what you get
Cons: Only open 11:30 to 2:30 most days

Yum - Edit
I've had everything on the menu and it's all been great. Good entrees, desserts, fresh juices and wholesome smoothies with real ingredients and no added sugar.

Delicious vegan food - Edit
I got the philly cheese steak it was on the smaller side but delicious. We got the vicken buffalo chicken sandwiches and they were the best vegan chicken we’ve ever had. All in all the food was spot on. Only complaints were the wait (less employees due to COVID) and the price vs the portion. We got their hibiscus punch which was good but expensive ($8).
Read morePros: All vegan spot, Food is delicious, Great customer service
Cons: Expensive for the portion, Long wait

Excellent bakery - Edit
I love, love their bakery options. I've ordered 2 custom cakes from here and was super happy with both. They offer so many flavors and are willing to accommodate new requests. Also they are massive. Definitely a great option for birthdays and events. I don't eat in often, but I also like their gyros.

My first vegan restaurant - Edit
So many choices! My husband and I came on a busy Sunday for brunch. I had the Bad Vegan Sandwich and am so sad we don't live closer so that I can try everything.

Crispy v-chik'n patty - Edit
You need to come here in no hurry to order or receive food, the service is slow, but the food is delicious. I highly recommend getting the Mazze Plate, the cashew chevre cheeze is amazing! The Crispy v-chik'n patty is from far my favorite thing on the menu! The house-made ketchup is also delicious. Also, try the cakes and fresh juice/smoothie

Death by chocolate cake - Edit
I've had the Reuben, the buffalo tacos, the nachos the carrot cake and the chocolate cake. Everything is super tasty! But you guys, do you love chocolate? Cause I love chocolate. If you need a fix, the death by chocolate cake is the absolute best.
Read morePros: Tasty food, Hip location, Friendly staff

My favorite place in Champaign/Urbana - Edit
OMG yummy!! By far my favorite place in Urbana! As a vegan celiac, finding great food can be such a challenge. The chickpea and beet burger on grilled GF bread was heaven! My only wish was for a dedicated fryer. Will absolutely each here every time I am visiting the area!
Read morePros: Dedicated vegan, Loads of Gluten Free options, Fresh ingredients
Cons: No dedicated fryer for gluten free fries, Could use more gluten free baked goods

Great vegan spot in a college town. - Edit
Great vegan eats and drinks (smoothies and juices) in what is an otherwise animal product dominated area. I travel here for business a few times a year and it’s helpful to know I can come in and get some great food at good prices while I’m here. Friendly staff and packaged takeout are always here as well.
Read morePros: Fully vegan restaurant, Great desserts and smoothies, Good for non-vegans

Yum! But expensive - Edit
Excellent food. I’ve been here twice and want to come back. I had the vegan burger, it crumbled and was hard to eat as a sandwich but that doesn’t bother me. As a gluten free, I’m used to crumbled bread. My burger and cake came to $24 with tip. I was charged extra for gluten free bread, but otherwise had no extras. I wish it didn’t blow my budget, but I’ll be back.
Read morePros: Delicious vegan food
Cons: Have to pay extra for gf bread and avocado

Vegan yum - Edit
It was the only vegetarian option in town the night I was there and I’m glad I passed all the regular restaurants near my hotel to come here. Love supporting vegan places, liked my food a lot. Wish I’d been here on a Saturday night to try the pizza... Note that most (maybe all) of the cheeses contain nuts.

Nice vegan eatery! - Edit
I was in town for a weekend conference and was excited to check this place out on the Friday when I arrived. I stopped here for a quick snack before a (non-veg) dinner party. I ordered a half portion of nachos, which actually turned out to be a pretty generous helping. Not big enough to share, but it could work as a meal for a lot of folks I know. The nachos had lots of nice, fresh toppings, as well as satisfying gooey cheez.
Read moreIt's too bad they're not open on Sunday afternoons/evenings, otherwise I would have come back to try more of their offerings. But the staff were super nice and helpful in recommending other veg-friendly places in the area that I could try for Sunday dinner. Also, they get bonus points for the nineties playlist that they were rocking that night. Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. I was especially entertained when the (presumably) college students next to me were reacting to Billy Corgan on Zero:
"What *is* this?"
"I don't know. But I kinda like it."
"Yeah, me too. It's kinda edgy."
Thanks, Dancing Dog, for educating the youths.

Excellent food, great service - Edit
I just had the Ruben sandwich with black beans. We also got two sides: the cheezy fries and brussel sprouts. All really good! Our server was friendly and quick. I've been to some great vegan restaurants all over the country, and The Dancing Dog is one of my favorites. I highly recommend this place!
