The Chicago Diner, Logan Square

Cool place for a wonderful meal. As someone who is a meat eater, dining with vegetarians, I was pleasantly surprised with just how tasty the Radical Ruben sandwich was (when I took a bite of the whole sandwich and I couldn't tell the difference from a Ruben sandwich) and the Portobello Truffle Melt was exceptional. I would go back just for that sandwich.

Absolutely fantastic vegetarian place, probably most telling to call it a vegan place with plentiful vegetarian options. (By which I mostly mean you have the option of putting dairy cheese in several dishes instead.) Food quality has always been excellent, with many old staples still being popular long after newer vegan offerings have hit grocery stores. The Country Fried Steak and Rueben Sandwiche are special favorites of mine.

This is a vegan restaurant. I didn’t know until I was told by my friend when I met her there. I picked this place to meet. I was like, oh the Chicago Diner. Glimpsed at the pictures and was like yum! She asked if I thought her milkshake would be dairy free… I was like…. It’s a milkshake! Why would it be dairy free? She’s like….. ummmm it’s a vegan restaurant! I was shooketh hahaha but…. The food was actually not bad and was very tasty! The “chicken wing” had amazing flavor! The nachos weren’t my favorite but they were not horrible. Just regular nachos. I’m used to the chicken or steak that’s all…. And I would definitely come back! Oh yeah, the milkshake was AMAZING!!! Get one if you come here! You won’t be disappointed!

I know it can hard to find vegetarian options most places you go, but this place is THE vegetarian restaurant of Chicago. From sandwiches, salads, soups, burgers, and classic American meals, everything has a vegetarian twist to it. It's a favorite of mine, and I. Not even vegetarian but always enjoy coming here. Highly recommend their Thai Chili Wings and Titanic BLT burger. Recently tried their straight up veggie burger (no meat substitute, just pure vegetables) and it was really good. Brunch I've tried once and it was alright, will try again, but their hot chocolate (soy milk) is really good.

Chicago Diner a meat free diner, is located less than 25 minutes away from downtown Chicago. I was pleasantly surprised by how well their seitan meat mimicked bacon and ham. They offer a wide variety of diner food, including Asian fusion dishes. My family thoroughly enjoyed all the entrees we ordered. The only drawback was the dense dessert cake. Nevertheless, the customer service was excellent - very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a unique take on diner food!

I went on a Wednesday around noon and was one of the few people there. Clean, quiet atmosphere with great music and attentive staff. I brought my laptop to do some work while I waited for my meal, which came out much faster than I anticipated. I took my server’s suggestion and got the blueberry pancakes, along with biscuits & “sausage” gravy. Cakes were hot, tasty, and a solid portion, while the “gravy” was rich in flavor and surprised me for being vegan. I’d definitely go back again, as this place is now one of my vegan go-to’s for comfort food.
