Loved this place so much. We didn’t even realize it’s vegan. Style and ambiance is on point, staff is amazing. It’s like Wes Anderson made a movie about a 1950s diner. Fried mushrooms, grasshopper pie, yum!

Nice service from this place. I ate at the bar, walked in when it opened for the day. They serve vegan, southern-inspired food which is delicious. I enjoyed the nettle soup, and fried green tomatoes with vegan pimento cheese. They bring boiled peanuts to snack on gratis

Dining at the Fog Eater was my favorite experience in Mendocino. We tried dinner and came back for Sunday brunch. The Cheesy Grits were so delicious!

Eating here was a truly wonderful experience. Hailey was our great server. The pickle beer was fantastic. The food (we are vegan) was superb. We came during the happy hour. All was great.

Great food & vibes! The crusted tofu tasted like a garden (in the best way) and the beignets slap.

We had the Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, tofu “crab”cakes and pie. All was at least good, although I thought that the Mac and cheese leaned a bit too hard on nutritional yeast for flavor. The meal came with complementary boiled peanuts, which seem to be an acquired taste that I have not acquired. The pie was outstanding! We saw a lot of folks ordering the chicken fried oyster mushrooms and it looked delicious. We will try it new time. A much better choice for dinner than Ravens.

Delicious vegetarian brunch for mother's day. Super friendly staff. Super cute decor. I love the wallpaper in the bathroom. I look forward to eating on the patio next time!🌟

The need to know details: I ordered takeout and they automatically, without mentioning it, added a 20% gratuity....for take out! That alone would make me think twice about going back. I order quite a few things to try. Here's what I'd recommend and not: The Mac n cheese was a little soggy, but the flavor was good. Order the kids one to avoid spice of the Cajun version. The crabbie cakes flavor is good but they were greasy and soggy (although I bet fresh in the restaraunt they would have been crispier.) The mashed potatoes are a pass for me. If your not a fan of potato skins in your mashed potato, you may want to pass. And they were skimpy with the gravy, which tasted good. The asparagus and leek soup also was not my favorite. I'm not sure if I'll be eating it or not. I got two desserts: strawberry rhubarb pie which had some sort of whipped cream on top which made it soggy. The flavor was tart and missing something on this dessert. The beignettes were flavored ok but very greasy. The sauces were a lemon one and a chocolate coffee? One. It was runny and the lemon one tasted good but had chunks in it on??? Located on the ave

This is a sweet gem of a restaurant in windy Mendocino. The food is exceptional,yes exceptional! No hype,just cool,interesting dishes,from boiled peanuts to chickpea pot pie. I wish I could eat there every week.Unfortunately,Ilive in Massachusetts.The atmosphere is equally delectable. Studio One reggae classics purring in the background while be waited on by a catlike waitress.
