Just go! - Edit
Cute refurbished diner (an original) with an extensive and varied menu. Quick and friendly service. Two of us went and both very much enjoyed our selections. Also had carrot cake for dessert. Very yummy. If we lived nearby we’d be going every week.

What a surprise - Edit
I wasn’t expecting that I could find an amazing full vegan place in the area, and yet this place didn’t disappoint me. I had a soup and rice, and vegan crab cakes and a piece of sunflower seed butter cake. Everything was perfect. I really enjoyed the food. Very friendly staff, great service.

Excellent food and service - Edit
Not many vegan options in the area so this place is top notch on my list. Food was delicious, restaurant was clean, and the service was great even though we sat down close to closing time. 10/10!

Adorable diner, great food! - Edit
We ordered takeout as we were with our dogs and picked up our food to eat at a dog friendly brewery, but the inside of this place is just adorable! It looks like you have traveled back in time! The food was much faster than we expected for pickup: it said it could take 30/40 mins but was actually ready in 15. Everything we got was delicious but especially recommend the Buffalo cauliflower wings and the tofu nuggets in bang-bang sauce!

Surprising Find - All Vegan Diner - Edit
My wife and I stopped here for lunch. The staff were super friendly and even let our dog come inside the restaurant as it was too hot to leave her in the car. The menu was very extensive, just like many diners. I had a reuben sandwich and my wife had a buddha bowl. Overall a great experience.

Healthy, Delicious, WFPB Vegan Food in the Berkshires! - Edit
My mom has been raving about this place since it opened, and we finally got a chance to go together this weekend. Loved it! Lots of healthy whole food plant based options, plenty of vegan comfort food and many decadent desserts. We shared two buddha bowls and they were both delicious! Nuanced flavor, diverse ingredients, no over the top sauces, oils, etc. Add in the vintage diner vibe (and the stories my mom had of going there in the late 50s-60s) and it's a total win for Pittsfield and the Berkshires!

Fun vegan diner - Edit
We’ve eaten at Thrive four times, and everything has been delicious. We’ve tried a couple of the bowls, the sausage sandwich, garlic parmesan fries, and the homemade sodas. Everything is fresh, and the preparation is great. I love that it’s a real diner too!
Read moreUpdate 9/1/19: It’s frustrating that Thrive consistently runs out of menu items by the weekend—just when people are looking for brunch.
Update February 2022: It seems Thrive has hit its stride, and things are running smoothly. Upgrade to five stars!

Vegan Diner FTW 🌟🫶🏽 - Edit
The fact that there is a full blown vegan diner in the Berkshires (Pittsfield to be specific), that alone is just amazing.
Read moreThis diner is, well, an old diner, and has a pretty decently sized vegan menu that offers typical diner fare and comfort food (apps, soups, salads, bowls, sandwiches, pastas, desserts).
Honorable mention to the Reuben, the Crabby, and the fiery fig dressing ❤️🔥
Pros: 100% vegan menu, Vegan diner fare & comfort food

SO GOOD - Edit
So many options, and everything was absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I were in town for a wedding and we came here a few hours before the wedding for brunch. Everything we ordered was unreal and so amazing. We ordered the sausage party fries, a reuben, and a BLT. The fries were AMAZING. The cheese sauce was sooooo good. The reuben that my boyfriend ordered was pretty good and he loved the thousand island dressing. The tempeh BLT was SUPER good, very smoky and delicious. We wished they were open on Sunday because we would have gone back!
Read morePros: So many options!!, Delicious vegan cheese
Cons: Not open on Sunday

What a wonderful find this little diner was! Completely vegan menu, really delicious food. The house made sodas are great too.

Nice little all vegan diner - Edit
Quaint little spot in the Berkshire’s that offers all vegan fare. The in house made cranberry soda was awesome. Shared the loaded fries with hubby and it was delicious. My buddy bowl was nice but a little dry for my liking. The server was kind and sweet.
Read morePros: All vegan fare, Reasonably priced (included 20% gratuity for all), Great vibe

Loved it! - Edit
Great vegan diner. Lots of options from Buddha Bowls to greasy sandwiches. I had the Reuben at my server's suggestion, and it was great. Side kale salad was will worth the upcharge
Read moreHouse made sodas and desserts were not overly sweet. They automatically add a 20% service charge for dine-in orders, and additional tip was neither solicited nor expected. Great spot in a region without many options.
Pros: All vegan, Both comfort and healthy options

Best vegan in Berkshires! - Edit
The only real vegan restaurant in the Berkshires open for dinner. Very nice servers, good vegan attitude. Menu is standard fare, not very creative or imaginative. They don't always have everything on their menu. They don't seat customers within half hour of closing. Good food, many menu choices, good vegan desserts
Read moreUpdated from previous review on 2022-07-02
Pros: Plenty of choices, Best all vegan dinner in the Berkshires.
Cons: Won't seat within 1/2 hour of closing, Closes early-- 7 or 8 pm, Open 4 days a week

Thanks for your review Gardeningone!
Read moreIt is true that we all work 10 hours a day and so we expect customers to respect hard work and efforts and please come at least a half hour before closing time if they would like to dine in so as not to cause us to have to stay even later waiting to clean up. Thank you for your patronage!!

Great experience! - Edit
We were so excited for Wednesday to arrive so we could visit Thrive Diner. The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming, the young man who waited on us was very pleasant and the food was outstanding. We were already well into our Buffalo Bites and Spicy Buddha Bowl before I thought to snap photos. The fresh sodas and the lemon cake were so good. The owner also cares for her employees by paying them a living wage. Don’t miss Thrive Diner if you are in the area, outstanding vegan experience!

SO good! - Edit
Everything we ordered was great, and the whole menu is vegan! I went here on the way to skiing at Jiminy Peaks, and it was so good I stopped to get more on the way back. I loved the tempeh BLT, seitan Reuben, and lemon cookies!
