| - Short version: great food, slightly weird vibe. Would go again.
Just had dinner here with two of my other vegetarian friends and we all agreed.
Want the longer version, read on.
Great food: I had the crispy chicken sandwich with a side of regular fries. I opted to not upgrade to any of Doomie's many varieties of fun fries, e.g. buffalo fries or pesto fries. I figured they'd make me too full, and I think this was wise. I left stuffed and satisfied. My friends each ordered the classic burger done up Big Mac style* - which is an off menu item - and they left similarly full. Besides, the fries were also delicious and crispy and needed nothing else besides ketchup.
Weird vibe: The fluorescent lighting is a little harsh and distracting. It seems like a design choice, but I'm much more comfortable in a more warmly lit space. Also, the wall leading to the bathroom and kitchen, which was mostly visible from my table, is covered in pro-vegan cartoon strips. Part of me was like, "Yeah! These are all making great points and are totally conversations I've had with people!" and another part of me was like, "Even as a vegetarian, I don't really want to read about how awful it is to kill animals while I'm eating my fake meat."
I'll be back though. I was too full for dessert and I really want to try their deep fried ice cream sandwich.
*Note that getting the classic burger Big Mac style is different than getting the, also off menu, Big Mac. The former comes with a single patty and the latter comes as you would see at McDonald's, with two patties and an extra middle bun. The patties here are almost twice as thick as McD's though, so its quite a lot of food. Beware.
