Food was good, but Tony should be fired and never allowed to work ever again anywhere. He made my shakes like a good boy though, and it was pretty good. Also give sunny a raise and a promotion she is amazing at her job

Great vegan menu, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts - including milkshakes! I had the burger with waffle fries, and my husband had the Sheldon- like a reuben but with marinated tofu. The shakes took a while to get but were definitely worth the wait! They were more the size of 2 shakes and were delicious.

Be wary: they accidentally put real bacon in their vegan BLT. (Bill adjustment was made). Will definitely eat here again, in spite of their faux pas. Menu is huge and food is delicious. Was VERY air conditioned inside. We sat at their outside patio tables, shaded, and enjoyed the summer breeze.

Food was delicious, service was quick, and staff were kind. Broad menu of options with large vegan sections. Restaurant can make dishes that are gluten sensitive (though not Celiac safe). Similarly, they are very accommodating for other allergies, and can customize meals easily.

We greatly enjoyed the vegetarian/vegan options. Everything was tasty and the omelettes were some of the best I had in a long time (if you like fluffy ones!) I'm not a huge fan of the Madison, WI area, and street parking was okay, and the diner vibe may be great for those who enjoy that sort of thing. Highly recommend for the food!
