Kate's Joint

I give this a solid three stars for food quality versus price.
It is, after all, a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, and when menu items are listed such as “deep fried not meat cutlet” or “spaghetti with not meat sauce”, I think you get the idea.

The two times I’ve eaten there the service was slow, but decent. The other half of the building is a full service bar, which can be fun after dinner. Just get up and walk into the other room.
It has a bit of a punk rock atmosphere if you’re into that kind of thing, but the bathroom was a little TOO punk rock for me (and for a restaurant): It was pretty dirty, and the paper towels and toilet paper were sitting on top of the toilet with flies all over them.

Good veggie food for when I want something deep fried or smothered in cheese and gravy. I leave feeling heavy and greasy, but it’s usually worth it. The dominant flavors are grease and salt.

Vegetarian disco fries? I’m there!
This place is basically a veggie diner. Not the healthiest or most gourmet option out there, but it has its place. Their bean burgers are good. The brunch on weekends is okay.

Dispels the myth that vegetarian food is healthy. I like fried stuff, so I like this place.
