Great food and friendly staff, retro atmosphere

Vertical Diner in SLC has great food, friendly staff, and a fun retro atmosphere.
At each table they also have a complete listing of all the other plant based restaurants in the Salt Lake Valley.
We had the Vertical Tacos and pancakes with tofu scramble this time, both of which were great.

Pros: Vertical Tacos, Supports other plant based eateries, Fun retro atmosphere

Such a cool down to earth diner

The food is pretty bomb! I will say that once when we went, there were ants crawling all over, but I didn't see that issue last time we were there. I imagine they fixed it :)

Pros: Bomb Food, Good Value, Quick Service

Cons: Cleanliness

Great service, ok food

AYCE pizza, awesome idea, don't see this kind of thing too often at vegan restaurants. The pizza was like your typical [censored] bar pizza, for better or worse. For me, I found that it started great but the more full I got the worse the pizza tasted. I will say their made in house sausage (the ingredient) is phenomenal.

The fries were a little disappointing. Not crispy at all.

The dipping sauces were good. And the service was excellent.

If you're a bit of a pizza snob I recommend you stick to the traditional flavors on your visit.

Yummy brekkie and burgers!

I had The Mountain and it was really good! My mom did a build your breakfast with mushrooms, potatoes, and tempeh bacon…it was a little strange that they all came out in separate dishes instead of just on one plate so you could eat them together. We also got burgers to go and they were good too!

Yum food good vibes

Was so happy to find this spot while passing through salt lake—we went two times in the 12 hours we were in town! We’ll priced for the portions, yummy food with lots of options, great decor (animals🥺), and good service. Yay for vegans in salt lake

Great place!

Such delicious food. The prices were amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was quick! Everybody was very kind. I deducted a star because my spouse and I both got French toast; his was over-cooked and mine was still raw in some places. The French toast also had like four berries on it. Aside from that, it was absolutely delicious and we cannot wait to come back someday!

Traditional breakfast!!

A great place for anyone (like me) who misses a traditional diner breakfast. It’s that but veganized! Tons of options, friendly staff, and indoor and outdoor seating.

All vegan

I have not been disappointed when going here, the food is great the staff is great. The only thing that leaves me sad is they aren't closer to my town. I also wish I could try everything on the menu!

Show the love

You can tell the staff is committed to Vertical Diner and appreciate your business. While construction is expected to last until July, don’t let it detour you from visiting. We went around 12:00 on a Saturday and had no problems parking and getting to the restaurant.
I gave it four stars because of my meal. I had the tofu scramble with potatoes, tempeh bacun and pancakes. I have had better tofu scramble and the tempeh bacun was just not for me. Our server offered to swap it out if I wanted something different, which was very nice! . I was provided hot sauce and added it to the tofu scramble with jazzed it up. Pancakes and potatoes were good and basic.

Pros: Outdoor seating, Friendly staff, Breakfast all day

So much choice

I can see why this place had so many reviews. Although a bit of a trench through some building works to get there we were really impressed once we sat down. We were overwhelmed by choice. I chose ‘the mountain’ breakfast - the tempeh tasted super sweet but was nicely counteracted by the other savoury flavours. As a Brit I was also so happy to get a decent mug of tea in America. Hope to get back soon on this trip!
