“I went to try the famous garlic fries, and was sadly disappointed probably because I built it up too much in my mind. That being said the waitress was excellent, and she made the whole experience. Excellent, the waitress who likes bananas. Plus we loved our table with all the stuff under the varnish, I probably would like the fries more with some kind of aïoli sauce, but my daughter told me that the place was vegan and they probably wouldn’t have mayonnaise after the fact. Lol I will be back for drinks.“
“I absolutely love this place! Cannot say enough good things - 90% of the food I've tried has been a 10/10. The biscuits and gravy - both types - are my absolute favorite but their desserts are amazing as are the hand-pies, wraps, and burritos. Definitely recommend to anyone who is plant-based, but also those who are not - my partner eats animal products and he loves this place too!“
“Wayside has been a plant based staple for many years now. The food is pretty solid, the specials are usually some of the best options you will find there. The base menu is good but for some reason the specials seem to knock it out of the park. This is also one of the few restaurants that makes everything from scratch! I love that! The shakes are the best vegan shakes I have ever had, highly recommended.Dietary restrictions: Everything is vegan!“
“Super happy to see this delightfully spacious & dark lounge still going strong. I remember seeing the grand opening updates with a cool kind of dark, whimsical, somewhat witchy/goth and "cheeky" aesthetic and thought, "alright, I need to scope it out." Just a few years later... ta da! Inside still holds true. Spacious dark speakeasy with a side of "cool weird(?)". I dig the astrological touch in the bar shelf arc wall elements up top.The menu size seems just right for the kitchen size. A pleasant mix of super wholesome salads and small bite nibbles. Next time, I can try some o' dat. They used to be 100% vegan but added egg white options for drinks. For now, I asked George(?) if she/they could whip me up a nice simple-not-too-frilly mocktail. After a few preferences, I tried my 1st ever 0-proof spirit (Ritual) with a nice refreshing taste mixed in from them. I hit a weird buzz feeling near half-way through so I just stopped; after a few moments I could take a few more sips. Welcoming & cool staff.Tucked away right there in downtown Olympia walking distance to many cool spots in town. Whether you're a curious new mocktail drinker like me (I usually do NA beers) or a seasoned buzz slushie, this unique spot is worth a shot (no pun intended). Pull up at the bar seats and eye the glorious neon bikini butt after dark.“
