Pleasantly surprised

Decided to stop in and see if we could find vegan options after a long drive. We had broccoli and beet tacos and a kale salad, both without the cheese and both were delicious! Order at the counter and they bring out when ready. Great beer options and they happened to be having a comedy show this night too which was a bonus for us! Great atmosphere and not too crowded.

Pros: Vegan options

Returning here for sure!

So glad we found this spot. Awesome ambience, a TON of veggie options (just specify vegan when ordering), and all the food was delicious and a bit weird (not in a bad way). Great drink selection too!

Pros: Way more vegan options than we expected

Cons: Menu options only *labeled* vegetarian, not vegan

The menu — seems like every V option can be made vegan at Zenbarn in Waterbury Center

Creative vegan options

Cool vibe, great drinks; and fun creative vegan dishes that are high in flavor and hearty portions. My Favorites are the dirty rice and the Thai sweet potato fries - both are full meals with exceptional in flavor. There is also a beyond burger.

Pros: Creative vegan menu items, Hearty portions, Atmosphere

Very accommodating chef, but options are not abundant.

Live local music on a weeknight was a huge surprise!

Pros: Chef came to table; put a delicious meal together

Cons: Mostly animal products

Bad for vegans, good for drinks

I was impressed with the many vegetarian items on menu online, but disappointed to learn in person that none of them are vegan, and really the only thing I could eat was the black bean burger without most of the toppings - & this was basically pressed black beans, not yummy.

I cannot recommend this to any hungry vegans, but it is a cool atmosphere with good drinks & nice staff, so to hang out is fine, but not to eat.

Pros: Fun "barn" atmosphere, Good drinks, Nice staff

Cons: Nothing is vegan by default, Very few things could be made vegan
