| - When I was an omnivore, I frequented here because there weren't many breakfast places off the strip (in the Flamingo/215 area) and it was good enough, plus they serve alcohol.
I had family in town this weekend for Thanksgiving, and brought a party of 10 to Eggworks at 9am on Sunday morning. I called in ahead of time and they were gracious enough to take a reservation, even though that's outside the norm for them.
Two of us in the party are Vegan (my husband and I). We knew the menu, and knew we would need to modify dishes to meet our dietary needs, but I was disappointed w/ the lack of accommodation the restaurant provided. We each ordered the Veggie Skillet, no cheese, no eggs and asked if we could get avocado instead. We were told we would need to pay extra for the avocado. I reminded the waitress that per their menu, a side of avocado costs more than a side of eggs and cheese (arguably the most expensive parts of the dish) and she advised there was nothing she could do.
Had it just been the two of us, we probably would have walked out instead of paying $15.00 each for a dish of veggies and potatoes, but we had 8 other people with us so we bit our tongues, and paid for the extra avocado. The meal was tasty, but that's besides the point. In addition, they offer no non-dairy milk for their coffee, so we had to pass on that as well (non-dairy creamer still has milk products in it). Come on, most breakfast and coffee houses around town at least have an almond or soy milk option.
The vegan community in Vegas is only getting stronger, if a restaurant isn't going to have vegan options on the menu, they should be accommodating of the vegans that do still frequent the restaurant.
I e-mailed the restaurant that morning, it is now two days later and I haven't heard a peep, hence why I decided to write this review. The next time I have a large party like this, I will take them to many of the other restaurants in town, where we can all be accommodated.
