Bean Vegan Cuisine, Charlotte, North Carolina, Vegan Restaurant Details

Food:

If you are into vegan fare, and (like me) have a soft spot for divey-style diners, then Bean is for you. One of my fave restaurants in Charlotte -- definitely check out their "carrot bacon" -- faux bacon, made from slices of carrot (it may sound weird, but it's surprisingly like the real thing).

Plenty of non-vegans go here too, b/c it's a fun environment. The world needs more places like Bean.

Food:

This place will convert carnivores. I am vegan and everyone I have taken here cannot believe the food is vegan. I have had everything on the menu and all of it is delicious. This is clean food people. You don't get bloated after eating it and your body will thank you. The most important part is it's good for you. The staff is cool and they have the best weekend brunch in Charlotte. Eat Vegan and Make Peace!

After reading a great review about the cheddar jalapeño burger, we passed up our normal fav for trying something new. Really glad we did - great service and awesome preparation of a none fried style. Putting it on rotation and hitting up the brunch menu at some point - looks good too.

Food:

Perfect foods, every time. Been here so many times and I have yet to have one bad meal. As for the complainers with 2 star reviews just look at their profiles and you'll see that's all they do. I would hate to live in a world where all I do is complain about businesses. Enough complaining about that though, try this place out yourself and you will not be disappointed.

As a vegan I really wanted to like this place..First off, I just want say the service was excellent. We were greeted at the door by the cook and the waitress was very pleasant and attentive..We ordered the queso and salsa dip, meat loaf, 2 burgers, mac and cheese, tater tot casserole, and ice teas to drink. The queso was good but a bit bland. Salt and pepper helped a bunch. The salsa was watery and tastless needed salt as well. The meat loaf looked awesome but was dry and had some kind of bitter after taste. The tater tot casserole was inedible and the mac and cheese about the same..The ice tea was barely sweetened so i asked for sugar and she brought us the raw sugar packets which is fine but it wouldn't dissolve in the tea. last but not least the burgers saved the day..they were awesome! The ambiance was nice, simple, and spacious. The big problem I'm having are the prices. I understand vegan is going to cost more. But with tip..$60? lunch for 3 people. Unfortunately I don't see this restaurant surviving unless they price point their items and change up the menu..
