Favorite burger spot - Edit
The best burger and sandwich spot! The War Eagle is my favorite. They also make a great German potato salad. Definitely recommend when you want that greasy, messy burger vibe.

Limited options but tasty - Edit
Plenty of meat alternative options, or a delicious grilled cheese otherwise. The Reuben was a flavorful hot mess. Soup of the day was good.

Hey, remember Italian Subs? - Edit
Order the Italian Sub and eat it right away. There’s also a version with Pastrami which is excellent. Go get one…

Burger and salad - Edit
Excellent veggie burger (skip the tempeh bacon, it was mushy not crisp). Delicious kale salad. Fries available Wednesday and Fryday.

Always a great choice - Edit
I used to go to the food cart pretty regularly when it was downtown but it fell off my radar a bit when they moved. The menu is bigger and costs have gone up but it's still pretty great. My omni friends think the food is pretty meh and the sauerkraut was pretty average, but the soycurls are guaranteed good.
Read morePros: Nice Sandies , Breakfast all day, Cool location

Surprised about all the good reviews - Edit
Honestly the food is pretty bad. Chicken salad sandwich was awful, so much we actually asked for our money back because no one would eat it. They threw a stink about that. Nothing else has been particularly great, the $6 burgers on Wednesday are worth it but otherwise I'd steer clear.
Read moreEdited to add how I've tried it a few more times and everytime has been worse than the previous visit. The employees are absolutely vile, disgusting human beings.

Good food, restaurant name is funny - Edit
The chick’n salad sub I got was filling (but messy.) Their name is confusing as the place is vegan not vegetarian & in Portland not DC. I went to DC Vegan in Washington D.C. months later and found out DC Vegetarian is their 2nd location. I think “Portland Vegan” would make more sense but at least the food is good and it IS all vegan!!

The breakfast sandwiches you want. - Edit
Great staff and owners. All I ever want is breakfast sandwiches and they’re easily the best in town. I’m from the Midwest and have to say as good as Portland is with vegan food in many, many ways, its seriously lacking in good comfort food, especially when it comes to vegan breakfast, but DC Veg stands out and delivers what Im looking for. They have plenty of other things to offer, but I just stick to what I know. The only thing I wish they had was a vegan Benedict, but I don’t think Im allowed to give any more stars.
Read morePros: All vegan, Plenty of options , Good price
Cons: No vegan Benedict.

Below average food for an above average price - Edit
I was super excited by the menu. We got a Ruben and the Po’Boy. The Ruben was not good at all compared to other vegan rubens I’ve had in Portland. For these prices I would expect a lot higher quality ingredients and nicer presentation.
Read moreThe place seemed a little too well worn and the bathroom was a bit gross. I’m cool with some late 90s throw back Portland grunginess but not for 15 bucks a sandwich.
I hate writing negative reviews but it was just overall not a good experience in my opinion.

Flavor! - Edit
This food was packed full of flavor. Sure, if you’re not a fan of meat substitutes I can understand not being a fan, but I loved it! Definitely recommend the wings.

Delicious Sandwich - Edit
Saw incredibly mixed reviews on here so we were a little hesitant to try but very glad we did. We got 2 Italian subs and some potato salad to bring over to the coast for lunch. The sandwiches were thick, delicious, and so filling. #Veganuary

Not bad if you’re craving some meat alternatives - Edit
I split the Reuben and the Cajun Chicken po boy with my partner. I found the Reuben to be inedibly salted but my partner said that’s how Reubens taste so maybe I just don’t like Reubens 🤷🏻♀️ the po boy was pretty good.

DC Vegan - Edit
I've been a customer since they had a food cart downtown years ago. Glad they eventually became all vegan. Today, I ordered the Chicky Sally Jr, which is a smaller version of the Chicken Salad Sub. It's messy, but worth it. The cookies are good, but expensive.
Read morePros: all vegan, outdoor seating, special burger on Wednesdays
Cons: overpriced cookies, difficult to find parking

Vegan comfort food - Edit
Plant-based meats aren’t my usual goto, but on occasion they hit the spot. One such occasion was visiting DC Vegetarian. I ordered the fried chicken po’ boy and it did not disappoint. The potato salad was also delicious.

Disappointing - Edit
I should have known better when this place was empty but the food court across the street had several patrons. The cheese steak was like a gut bomb, far from the occasional comfort meal I was seeking. I was not wanting to finish it despite being hungry. Whatever they make their cheese from was not good. Their fake steak was meh, not terrible but not one of the better versions. And the sandwich needs something like some roasted tomatoes or hot peppers to balance flavors. Too many good options in the neighborhood much less city to justify a return.
Read morePros: Portion was large for the money.
Cons: Their cheese made me feel hung over. , Fake meat below average for this very vegan town

Tasty - Edit
Great little spot. Highly recommend the Italian sub. Very refreshing taste. Had the sausage breakfast sandwich which was a water, greasy, tasteless, mushy mess. Stay clear of that one. The wings special was also bad, because the wings were extremely undercooked unfortunately. Desserts are fantastic though!

Yummo - Edit
We were lucky enough to select this little gem of a place while visiting Portland. The staff was super friendly and the food is great. Even my three non-vegan family members enjoyed their vegan dishes. I liked the rueben the best but everything we had was very good.

To their $5.50 burger specials on Wednesdays, to the cheesecakes, chili and other fare, including their open political views, you can’t go wrong. I love it here.
