Best place in Rochester - Edit
We love Red Fern so much we sing their answering machine song spontaneously (Beach Boys - Vegetables). A plus to everything. Love the Compost Plate, Buddha Bowl, Lentil Burger, Lentil Loaf, Green Smoothies, and endless desserts. Plus they have really interesting and delicious specials, and hosted a great Valentine's Day Dinner last year. In love.

Fantastic Vegan Food - Edit
On a college tour with our daughter, the tour guide recommended this amazing 100% vegan spot in Rochester. Enjoyed macaroni & cheese loaded nachos, Moroccan stew, and a brownie. Plus on tap kombucha. Service was excellent. Made a reservation via Instagram and was glad we did, as seating is relatively limited.
Read morePros: All vegan, Creative dishes , Excellent service
Cons: Only on street parking.

Great Little Place with great desserts - Edit
I had the compost platter which allowed me for a taste of the potato and macaroni salads, sweet potato mash, salad, sliced 'steak', It was good. The mash was cold, but I am not sure if they meant it to be that way. My gf ordered the chickpea wrap and it was good.
Read moreWe also ordered the cheesecake- delicious. We took home over a $100 dollars of various desserts. We have not tasted them all as of yet, but the two we have tasted are delicious. The spice frosted cake and the French toast cookie sandwich was very good.
I certainly recommend this place to anyone.
Pros: all vegan, desserts, broad menu
Cons: cold mash

Worth the hype. 100%. - Edit
Red Fern is such an important place to me. I first went here at the start of my vegan journey so many years ago and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been since. I love this beautiful little spot so much. Cue dramatics… I would marry the Steak and Potatoes dish. My favorite meal ever. We know the staff by name and vice versa and I always feel so welcomed. Weekly specials, desserts, wingz Wednesday’s all a plus as well.

Excellent Lunch Options - Edit
Had lunch here while visiting town - split the Buddha bowl and nachos between two of us, both were great. Turmeric kombucha on tap was also tasty. Waitstaff was really friendly and welcoming. Central location was really walkable between the other sightseeing we were doing.

I ordered one of the specials, a flatbread with roasted veggies, tofu ricotta, mozzarella and arugula and it was so good. Would definitely go back!

Great variety and quality - Edit
Went there with friends last night for the first time. It is in a great area, there are a lot of options, and the food is great. I had the steak and potatoes, which was incredibly flavorful, with their own horseradish that was not too overpowering. The desserts are great. Really nice place for a dinner with friends or a date.

A must! - Edit
I’m always sure to have a meal at the Red Fern when I’m visiting Rochester. It’s exciting to see what the wing Wednesday flavors will be, I can’t not order the Mac n Chz nachos, and I can never decide between the roast bf bc I’m obsessed with horseradish mayo, or the ABLT bc it’s so yummy and I really love their bacon. Also, the ckn on the ckn Caesar is excellent. Basically everything is great here and I love it!

Decent Vegan Eats in Roc City - Edit
Cute corner location! Ordered the baked Mac and cheeze with seitan steak as well as the Buddha bowl and two cookies from their bakery section. The Mac was very tasty, the seitan steak was phenomenal. The Buddha bowl was just okay, could’ve used more tofu, kale, and beets for the price. We got a ginger oatmeal and a rainbow confetti cookie. The ginger oat was really delicious and chewy whereas the rainbow cookie was hard and not very flavored. Overall would definitely come back if we’re in the area again!!
Read morePros: All vegan everything, Options galore
Cons: A bit pricey for the amount of food offered

The service was good despite it being very crowded when I went (pre-COVID). They have a relatively small menu (entree-wise) but the food was good.

Great food! - Edit
I got takeout. I ordered the compost plate and got the seitan steak as my protein. The seitan was fantastic, and very well-seasoned. The whole meal was great, it felt well-rounded from a nutritional standpoint and was very filling too. I really appreciate that Red Fern defaults to compostable materials for their takeout containers, incidentally!

Good food - Edit
It was good food. Unfortunately just take out. We had steak Bomb and lentil burger which was good. Green juice was delicious. Peanut butter banana was not good enough for me. Maybe just because I don’t like super sweet. I love cooking and I am very good with that that is why it is hard to impress me with food in the restaurant.
