Amazing food - Edit
Every member of my family got a different menu item and we loved them all. The pancakes were great (both GF and wheat), the breakfast bowl was fantastic and so flavorful, and Philly stake was great too. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough!

Love this vegan restaurant. - Edit
The whole menu is plant based and they support other vegan businesses. The food is excellent, the desserts so yummy. The servers were very sweet. Also they have an outside patio where you can have your dog.

Great Food and Awesome Vibes - Edit
Their food is AMAZING! As a vegan, knowing I can take my family and friends to a diner without them saying More tofu, huh? is a game changer.

Solid - Edit
I came here on a Tuesday night, which apparently is pizza night. they make a “inferno chicken pizza“ and I just had to order it. I also ordered the chicken Caesar salad and had the chicken slathered with the inferno sauce. Everything was really good. The Caesar salad was more like a tossed salad, as it had cucumbers and beets and carrots and tomatoes, but it was very good. The pizza was perfectly done, with a crispy woodfired-like crust and a generous amount of toppings.

Just okay - Edit
Ate here on a recent visit to Utah. Wanted to love it, but the food could be better. On the positive side, the service is friendly and fast! I had a breakfast plate. One of my daughters had a salad that was more chips than salad. The other daughter had a veggie bowl that was just okay. We did love the Mac and cheese bites we ordered for an appetizer!

Rude waitress - Edit
I’m 100% sure the waitresses were saying something about us because they would look at us and then laugh. The food was okay, the stroganoff was not what I’m used to. The wine flavor was too strong which I’ve never had in a stroganoff, I’m used to more of a gravy flavor. I posted a review on Google and whoever responded appeared upset with what I had to say and made some remarks. Saying that I’m “out of my mind.”

Hooray for 100% vegan menu - Edit
So grateful to find this diner! Extensive menu is all vegan with many different types of food and protein options. I went for breakfast but they are open from 9AM to 10PM! Friendly staff and reasonably priced. 90% of the menu can be gluten-free as well. Stop on your way to or from the airport (15 minutes away) if you’re visiting!

I eat here at least once a day every time I come to SLC. Sometimes twice a day. This is the best vegan food in town and I haven’t tried anything close.

Fun place to eat, with a community feel - Edit
Great, varied menu, we ordered a mac & cheese with spicy chik'n bites, mushroom stroganoff, and thai lettuce wraps made with tempeh & veggies. Plus, a mocha milkshake for dessert, made with locally-made ice cream. Excellent, friendly service, tasty food. Noticed lots of activities advertised, including events (e.g. open mic, all-you-can-eat pizza night, art night, bingo, trivia). Seems like a great community place. Need to go back to try more menu items.

All you can eat pizza night! - Edit
Happened to be here on an All you can eat pizza and salad night for the bargain price of US$15.00. My favourite by far was the buffalo chikn pizza, which was delicious and freshly made. I also had the mac n cheese, ham n pineapple, and artichoke dip pizza, some of which were lukewarm.
Read moreThe salad was a nice side and some much needed health.
The staff were really friendly and great (well except the one who didn't even inform me of pizza night), especially the guy who saw me looking around to get someone to cancel my order so I can do the pizza night instead.
I would have loved to come back for the all day breakfast.
Pros: Buffalo chikn pizza, Great staff

Tasty Diner Food in SLC - Edit
We've been coming to Vertical Diner since it open and was back at its much smaller location. This was our first visit to the larger location and it's greatly improved over the years. Many options to choose from, fun vibe and good location. Had the Chili fries, The mountain, and the daybreak burrito w/soyrizo. Finished off with peanut butter brownie milkshake. Left full and happy.
Read morePros: Options, Fun diner feel , Tasty food

Our family really enjoyed all aspects of the Vertical Diner! Not only did they serve an all vegan menu, but they also offered a gluten-free option for almost every menu item! They also supported other local like-minded small business! Thanks!!
