Good food! Vegan up charges all around

Lots of options although out of vegan sausage and offered to sub a vegan chicken patty. Lunch with just water was $38 for 2 before tip- The clucker sandwich came with tater tots but up charge pushed that to more than $20.

Pros: Brunch items, Vibe, Pancake

Cons: Heavy up charge for vegan items

It was kinda meh

It’s a cool little place. Pretty busy though. I liked that they had a bunch of vegan items clearly labeled. I got the vegan eggs and stuff. But the server brought my friend the wrong plate at first and after that I got the wrong plate. So naturally I was concerned about what they were serving me. My friend has been there a lot and she said that never happens and might just be an off day. I think they were training new people.
I enjoyed I think maybe the owner, who was also our server. He was really nice and apologetic.
The food was meh. The faux meats were okay. The tater tots were over salted and my tofu scramble was under seasoned. It almost seemed like the only thing they put in it was turmeric. No salt or anything. The bread I got smelled like butter so I left that. I tried my friends pancake and it was ok. Nothing special. Very cinnamony though, if you like that.
He ended up taking a couple things off the check for us. So that was nice.

Seriously tasty food

So many options that are deliberately set up to be available in vegan. The Clucker sandwich used the premium veggie patty, not that thin foamy excuse. Their house pancake is vegan and delicious

Fun place with vegan options

Service was great, the pancake was delicious and vegan! Fun ambiance with lots of art. Had a bite of my husband’s vegan chicken sandwich and that was amazing!

Great Spot for Vegan Breakfast

Can never find a good place to get vegan pancakes/breakfast sides but ugly ducklings pancakes are very good and was really impressed with their other breakfast items like the tater tot’s w/ cheese sauce and the tofu scramble.

So bad :(

Dec 2024 review: Unfortunately, the food was really bad. I was so excited to try the Ugly Duckling seeing all the vegan options they offered. Unfortunately my pancakes were raw/ uncooked in the center, the tofu scramble did not taste good at all (too bland/ maybe too much turmeric?), and the worst part was that my food came out smelling of weed 🍃🤢 I also had concerns about the overall cleanliness of the place. The two stars are only for the kind waitress and the fact that they have so many vegan options offered. I will never go back here. 😞
