The Vegetable Hunter – Harrisburg – Vegan Cafe and Boutique Brewery

Came off of the highway to grab dinner and it was totally worth the detour. The food was creative, fresh, and flavorful and the portions were generous. Highly recommend

If you’re looking for a dining experience that belongs on “Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares,” this vegan restaurant is ready for its close-up. We waited at the front desk so long I thought Gordon himself might burst in yelling, “Shut it down!” When the manager finally showed up, he handed us menus like he was tossing life preservers to shipwreck survivors. We’d already memorized the menu at this point. We should have aborted right there and then but we were starving as we’ve been traveling through PA from NYC and were desperate for a vegan option. We decided to sit outside, right by the stairs, which turned out to be the VIP section for “creative” service. Instead of walking down and around to serve us, the manager just passed our food down from the stairs like he was delivering rations to prisoners. Now, about the food: The crab cake pita was a one-bite disaster. My wife’s bahn mi was a slight improvement, but let’s be honest, it wasn’t a bahn mi. The tofu was uncooked, and it came with a mystery brown sauce that left us more confused than satisfied. The sweet potato fries arrived late and tasted like they’d just completed a long journey from the frozen food aisle. I wish I could give this place 0 stars. But I guess 1 star is justified since he didn’t even bat an eye when my wife said the food was inedible and we should only be charged for the bahn mi since we did take 5 bites of it. If you want a meal, keep walking. If you want an appearance in the next episode of “Kitchen Nightmares,” this is your spot! Read less

Lots of seating and free street parking on the Sunday we visited. The strawberry drink was sweet and had real bits of strawberry. The ginger drink was really gingery. I thought it tasted great to mix the 2 non-alcoholic drinks. The taco bowl had lots of yummy types of food, it felt very well balanced. It had a some spicy items but others weren't spicy so I could mix things for the perfect spice level for me. My husband liked his vegan blue cheeze chikn sandwich too. Read less

Cute vegan place, good food, MASSIVE portions. We got a potato appetizer, eggplant Reuben, and chana masala soup and everything was tasty. I ordered the 'soup' version of the chana masala because I wasn't very hungry, which was huge and served over rice. I also had it for lunch today and there's enough for another lunch. Could maybe use some better boardgames in the back seating section, but that's coming from someone with way too many boardgames . Would recommend. Read less

It's been a while, I'll blame the weather! It was absolutely delicious! I had the classic bean burger, sweet potato fries and a berry ginger iced tea. It was so good and fresh that if you would have walked past, I wouldn't have seen you! It's the flavors, the freshness and taste! If you haven't been, you need to come! I'm not saying the black bean burger tastes like hamburger, it doesn't, but it is a delicious sandwich in its own rights! The homemade sweet potato fries are almost better than dessert, but that's only if you haven't tasted her homemade cookies, cupcakes or donuts! Reasonably priced, delicious food, nice ambiance. Best meal in Harrisburg if you want fresh and well prepared! As The Burg says, eat local- rediscover great food! Read less
