Food was great! Loved the Mac and cheese but I wasn’t a fan of the Carolina BBQ due to the tanginess of the bbq sauce.
My boyfriend ordered the sweet potato tacos and said they were really good.
Oh! And an awesome server recommended the Krumbus cocktail and we both got one. 5 star beverage.

Great atmosphere, great food. Looking for a vegetarian restaurant with a grungy heavy metal influence but in a subtle way, try Ground Control. Also great craft beer on tap too.

4/5 The Atmosphere: A clean, cool, hipster diner in Chicago. We really liked the logo and the chalk board with fun artwork on the walls. The place was nice and clean, including the bathrooms. We enjoyed the metal plates that the food was served on as well. Parking is limited, which is to be expected because it's in a major city. Also, the diner is a bit small and has limited seating, so when it's busy, you may have to wait a bit. We got lucky and were able to snag a table during breakfast/brunch time when it was really busy.
4/5 The Menu: As vegans, when anything on the menu is clearly marked vegan or can be made vegan, it's a big win for us! They had plenty us options for us veggies.
3/5 The Service: It was a bit slow only because two people were working a full restaurant and bar. We felt a bit bad for them as it must have been stressful, but the two men who waited on us were nice.
The Food:
5/5 The Curry Fritters are fantastic! The warm potatoes mixed with the fresh cool mint chutney, the hint of spicy curry, and the sweetness of the corn were the perfect balance of flavors. So good!
5/5 The Breakfast Tacos with tofu were so good! We dipped them in a small side of fresh salsa, and it was so tasty!
1/5 The Southern Breakfast with Batter Fried Tofu and the Biscuits N Gravy: As Southerners, we love biscuits and gravy and have had many non-vegan versions when we weren't vegan and many vegan versions as vegans. This was simply over salted and the beer flavored kale was a bit overpowering. We're not quite sure what we were tasting, but it seemed like it was a mix of soy sauce, beer, and salt. The biscuits were really soggy as well. The tofu was pretty flavorless. These dishes are almost exactly the same with the exception of the kale, and we wouldn't get either one again. Luckily, the waiter did comp one of them and told us that other people had complained about it being too salty.
1/5 Side of Breakfast Potatoes: These we're okay. They were a bit on the greasy and overcooked side. We wouldn't get these again.
4/5 The glass of orange juice was tasty, too.
Overall, it's reasonably priced, and we would go back for the curry fritters and breakfast tacos and to try something else.

I didn’t dine in, this review is based on a brief visit.
I was greeted immediately, offered a menu and some explanations of what I was looking at. I am a vegan so it was important that I had an idea of what was in what.
The menu was very clear once explained, the staff was attentive and the service was prompt. I ordered the Po’Boy and a salad... DELICIOUS!!!
Highly recommended for taste and service, was a bit expensive at $22 for the meal.
Hope this helps.

No frills vegetarian diner. Good prices on beer and food. I think this is a kind of no-brainer place to go for a casual eat. Vegetarian or not, you will like it. The green salsa is really great too.
