Finding an all-vegan restaurant can be a challenge; so glad that this one exists! Easy parking, we were seated immediately, and the server was very friendly and attentive. Decent size menu with an array of things to choose from, including breakfast all-day. Very much in the American diner style of foods, befitting of its name and retro diner location. The food was excellent. Tasty and more than enough. The side salad was larger than expected. They make their own salad dressings and ketchup; that certainly deserves some credit. Grabbed a brownie to go; well worth it. Will go back here next time we're in Portland to try the other sandwiches. Yum!

I haven't even left yet and I'm writing my review: I'm in love. Excellent menu with a wide variety of options for vegans with celiac. No substitutions or alterations are needed. Definitely get the bakun with the Thai basil salad and always get cheeze with your fries. The vertical sauce is dynamic and delicious, too! Soyrizo tacos were excellent and spicy and very satisfying. Will be back because I have to try everything, hence my obnoxiously large order today. Service was excellent and attentive. I came for a late lunch during the week though. Not sure what it's like when it's busy. Thanks for a great meal!

Pretty great! Old school diner vibes. Good food/service. Love the variety of options!!! They have a pretty large menu for a vegan place. They do offer gluten free items/substitutions. They do a lot of take out orders, so don't go here if you're in a rush. Plenty of parking. Recommend!

So glad I found this place on my recent road trip! I haven't had the diner experience since going vegan and didn't even know I missed it until I came here! Serendipitous that I found it on a road trip as road trips and diners just go together. I had the chikun fried stake with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was all amazing and had lots of flavor, not that over fried taste. The broccoli was prepared to perfection and the mashed potatoes weren't just mashed potatoes! They were like stuffed and grilled and so tasty!! My mom had the Reuben and said she enjoyed it thoroughly. We were nervous about feeling sleepy and stuffed on the drive home after a big heavy meal but were pleasantly surprised that we never felt weighted down or sleepy! Just satisfied! The diner ambiance was cute and inviting. And again the perfect experience for a road trip. The service was exceptional as well! Our server was very nice, inviting and informative. I will make an excuse to stop here the next time I'm passing through.

Love the ambiance - when I heard a vegan diner was taking over this space, I was so excited and they did such a good job cleaning and updating without taking away the old diner charm. Service has always been great when I've come in. Food is so subjective, but I've definitely got some favorites here. Tender tigers - oh yes. Dessert - absolutely, everything I've tried has been delish! Brekki biscuits and gravy, add a side of sausage - sublime. Those are the reasons I'll keep coming back. Other stuff has been good or okay, but this is a restaurant where I'll probably be sticking with my favorites. But I love this place and will strive to be a better regular moving forward!

Yummy vegan food and friendly service! Must try!!!! The flavors are on point, even though I'm not a vegan, enjoyed very much

Vertical diner is that classic diner feel. They have an old juke box (which is free!) to play music on. They have been around since the 90's and it gives off the total diner feel you would expect. The food is so good. Most of the breakfast items are smothered in this delicious gravy that I truly could not get enough of. I had biscuits and gravy with tofu scramble and eggs. I couldn't finish cause there was so much food and it was so tasty. My fiancé had the dude cakes which are pretty much a pancake stack with grilled peppers and onions smothered in gravy and fries. It was so delicious. It was like a perfect craving type meal. Only downside is they were unable to spit our check at the table based on what we ordered. Which was a bummer cause the people we were with wanted to split based on orders not just half.
