The menu is hit or miss. Nothing is bad but some of the items (like the pad thai and the mac and cheese are…meh!) while other items are delicious. There are a lot of new items on the new menu that are great. My favs: green salad with lemon shallot dressing and soy chicken, the new nachos are amazing, the pizza with bbq “chicken” is really good and of course everyone’s favorite the soy “chicken” shawarma will convince any meat eating friend or family member that vegan food can be interesting and delicious.

Glad to hear Herbivore is stepping up their game. Last time I tried it I was seriously disappointed — it seemed like bland diner food that just happened to be vegan.

Yeah, that place is great! I haven’t been there in ages either. Love the creepy cult ambiance, too!

When looking for good vegetarian food, I usually swear by Anada Fuara. Don’t make it up there that often these days, but when I worked in that neighborhood I must have eaten there three times a week.

Personal favorite: the Neatloaf.

I’m all for more veg coverage, but the whole thing that’s *great* about Herbivore is their wide variety of entrees that defy stereotypes about what “vegan cuisine” is. Hummus, a salad, and fancy juice are exactly those stereotypical vegan foods. Next time, show the MM-reading omnivores some vegan orange pepper chicken, mac ‘n’ cheese, or lentil loaf!

I’ll always have a soft spot for Herbivore. As a teen vegetarian who lived off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, the idea of an all veg restaurant in the city was thrilling. Whatever they were serving then was fine by me — mediocre or not! Now, as a more discerning vegan adult, I still love Herbivore and am SO GLAD they updated the menu. The new wraps are delicious and the stroganoff is great. They’re also, as far as I know, the only all vegan brunch in the city (though I prefer St. Francis for my hangovers).

Love this column!

It’s easier to make your own hummus than it is a salad!!

Herbivore is the only vegan restaurant I will gladly go to. Even to get me to Gracias Madre, I must be promised a pitcher of sangria.

I am glad it seems to be revamped. It was really HerbiBore before.
