Love this place. The hummus sandwich is great; the vegan burger just awesome. Everything is very well done. I'm not vegan but consistently found this place to have great food. I'm glad there's one coming to Dallas, it'll be a great addition to the Bishop arts area.

This place serves food that could make a carnivore turn vegan! I originally found this when searching for a place to take my vegetarian friend when she was in town. She loved it, she went back home, and I (not a vegetarian) kept returning. All the food I have tried has been excellent! There is a wait, but they do have games and cards to help the time fly by.

As a die-hard omnivore, I have to put the hyperbole aside: While the food is really good, it's not turning anyone into a vegan who isn't already there. That said, IF I'm going vegan, I can't imagine better. I'm not a fan of substitute proteins, but I'll have to admit that queso made from cashews is surprisingly good. Just wish it had been warmed.

Everything's really fresh and tasty. I had a pasta primavera (again, not a fan of fauxteins), and it was flavorful with a little kick. The missus (who actually likes the tofu) liked the jerk sandwich and the sidedish potato salad was tasty. Good uses of paprika abound.

Recommended anytime you're trying to satisfy both vegans and non-.

I thought the same thing about the nacho "cheese", Mike. Have your better half try the "Mitch" tofu club next time, I think that might be one of their best sandwiches.

I agree with Mike on this one. I just don't dig the whole "meat substitute" pretense behind many vegetarian dishes (not just Spiral's menu, but what you'll find at other veggie places). Why not eat tasty vegetables (or other non-meat items) in their original form and appreciate them for what they are? It seems to me that so-called vegetarians who like eating meat substitute dishes still are drawn to meat and don't particularly enjoy eating non-meat foods (veggies, fruits, nuts, etc.) to begin with. It all comes off as self-defeating and slightly hypocritical.

Also, many of Spiral Diner's dishes contain wheat ingredients (to substitute for meat). So if you have a gluten allergy be aware of this.

That said, I do enjoy Spiral Diner's desserts and smoothies. I would recommend these first.

My fella and I really like Spiral Diner, our 13 year old, not as much, although she is a vegetarian. Although she has only ever gotten 2 things here: the the pb&j...maybe with bananas, and the pancakes on Sunday brunch. She's not a great fan of the vegan pancakes. I have a hard time giving a comprehensive review, because I almost ALWAYS have the same thing, the Spicy Seitan Wrap. It's wonderful, the seitan is pleasantly peppery, and I almost always take home 1/2 of it for lunch the next day. Once, long ago, I had the curry and I remember it as quite nice. I love the funky, hippy vibe here, fitting in nicely with the great old Magnolia neighborhood Very casual.
