| - I myself am not a Vegetarian or Vegan, but I can appreciate that style of food and often eat meat free meals. So when I was invited to go to Red Velvet Cafe with a co-worker for lunch on a Friday in Lent I figured it was a great idea. I've given up eating meat on Fridays so I thought there would be good Vegetarian/Vegan options for me.
When we entered, there was a couple empty tables and a counter with a register, which appeared to be where you place your order. At the counter we were instructed to take a seat and we would be waited on. We took a couple laminated menus and sat at a table just across from the register. After looking over the menu I selected a Salmon Quesadilla from the March specials menu. After an unnecessarily long wait, we were finally visited by our server who was the same person that told us to take a seat from behind the register. I was then informed that they were out of Salmon. The 2 other members of my party ordered and I asked for another minute to find something else. However, it took so long for our server to return that everyone else's food arrived shortly after I placed my 2nd order. The other two orders at the table had errors (missed substitutions, meat product instead of real meat) but they didn't want to spend the extra time to complain about it. My food finally arrived as everyone else was finishing theirs. Being on a 1 hour lunch break, I had to request my order to go, because I needed to be back at work. They slid my sandwich and handful of baked Lays into a box and I ate my lukewarm sandwich in my office at work. Food was decent, but not worth the $11 bucks I paid and the lousy service I received. Based on other reviews this is not uncommon for this location.
Other things to know before going:
The only thing "Vegetarian/Vegan" about this restaurant is the fact that anything on the menu can be "Made Vegan". This means they substitute the real meat for fake soy based meat product. Almost all the items on the menu contain real meat and will have to be "Made Vegan". I also noticed that the same grills/griddles are used for meat and vegetarian/vegan, incase you care about cross contamination. For a place that markets themselves as a vegetarian/vegan restaurant they do not have many non-meat selections.
There is a $10 minimum on all Credit and Debit Purchases. This is against merchant agreements by Visa and Mastercard. But with the prices, you shouldn't have a problem spending less than $10 bucks.
There are no fountain sodas, everything is canned/bottled.
Would I go again? Maybe, but only if I was eating meat and had a few hours to waste on lunch. If you're looking for somewhere to get a meal on a 1 hour schedule, look somewhere else. If you're a strict Vegetarian/Vegan that is sick of eating soy meat product, look somewhere else.
