      <![CDATA[True that the old owners and location were pretty funky, but the current location on University is a lot nicer. Food is great, and they're constantly experimenting with new menu items and weekly specials. Great for lunch w/all the sandwiches (sammiches?) or brunch w/a great assortment of veganized classic dishes like pancakes, french toast, scrambles and hash browns. Even do vegan omelettes now! ;D

      <![CDATA[Tried their wraps at Mr. Spot's Chai house and fell in love with the Chiggen Wrap. My partner isn't Vegan and still felt the same way. Tastes very much like a well prepared gyro. We have a coffee stand and are really excited to be able to now offer them on our menu. Gave my son one (a proud "meat-lover") and he wasn't even aware it wasn't actual chicken! (Still haven't told him...)

      <![CDATA[I brought my omnivore family to the newly-revived Wayward Cafe this weekend, and it was an amazing brunch for all of us.  My dad got the reuben, and he loved it.  My mom got the hot nutlet, and she loved it.  And my brother got pancakes ('cause he's askeered of "veeegun" food), and he loved them.  I had my favorite, Biscuits Maximus, and as usual was happy, happy, happy.  Part of my happiness was that my family was not going to gripe about vegan food for a month, but mostly it was because I now have a place to bring omni friends and family without worrying it will reflect badly on veganism.

<br />
But I heard there were new owners, and they'd cleaned up the place.  Hoo boy, I was back in a flash and happy again.  No sticky silverware, no greasy water cups.  And the food was even better than I remembered.<br />

      <![CDATA[So, veganism seems a bit scary but Wayward makes it all okay.  After you have had one of their delicious American style dishes, you will want to come back for more, (but not right away because you will be stuffed!)
    
    My carnivorous friend reluctantly agreed to go with me only after I promised that we could get doughnuts afterward.  Not only did he forget about the doughnuts but now he suggests eating there.

      <![CDATA[At first, I was hesitant to go here. I like meat.
    To my surprise, I really enjoyed their meatless concoctions.
    I had their biscuits and gravy which rivals ANY sausage filled slathering I've had ANYwhere else. Seriously! I ate half and was so full and happy I took the rest home for lunch/dinner.
    On my second trip, yes i had to go back, I devoured a TLT sandwich.  The wait staff was very willing to educate me on the food I was eating.  I had no idea what tempeh was.  I now know that tempeh, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches are delicious.  Each sandwich comes with a side. I had Potato salad and home fries that were excellent.  You're only supposed to get one side but the guy working hooked me up with a little of both since I couldn't decide. My buddy had pasta salad, also excellent.  I want my parents to go to this place with me and not tell them it's vegan. Word to Wayward!

      <![CDATA[This is the most accessible food to vegan newbies and veterans alike. At other vegan or vegetarian restaurants you can get tofu and veggies with your food in the style of the cuisine (example: indian, thai, chinese). At Wayward you get good old fashioned American cuisine.  Rueben sandwiches come with tempeh, a fermented soy, "chiggen" wraps come with delectable seasoned tofu nuggets.  They serve breakfast all day, which is a personal fav of mine (AHEM, hangovers.) It's set in a residential atmosphere with the comfort a living room.  There's plenty of liberal reading essentials in their small library.  They even have bookmarks so you can come back and start reading where you left off!      This is a "punk-rockish" place but it seems more diverse as of late.  I've heard anything from Otis Redding to Pavement to Poison to Peter Tosh to Discharge. The staff is friendly and always busy.  They all do dishes, prep, cook, clean, everything.. Overall this is probably the best vegan restaurant I've eaten at in the country.  The combination of great food, people and atmosphere keeps me going back at least once a week!

      <![CDATA[The food is great and it isn't expensive and the portions are huge and the people are nice and the atmosphere is laid back and you can sit and read or sit and talk with friends or sit and daydream.  All work equally well.  I haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but I advise you too.  Independent, mindful, inventive foodplace.

      <![CDATA[I've tried this "restaurant" several times, just to be fair.  But it's just plain awful.  Vegan food can be delicious, vegan Indian or Thai is great. But Wayward's version of "fake meat" is just terrible.  Over-salted, gritty, unpalatable. Vegan food shouldn't have to have "meat substitutes", it should be able to stand on its own, with natural flavors and spices.
    The pancakes (something that doesn't require fake-meat) are thick, undercooked, and gross. 
    Also want to say the waitstaff is stuck up and downright rude.  What's with their attitude?
    I don't know why the Stranger recommends this place, maybe you should send a reviewer out to get a second opinion.

      <![CDATA[this place is like beth's for vegans!  The hot sandwiches are awesome!  I love everything on the menu but the wraps have to be my favorite.  It's a dive that makes you feel like you're in your friends living room after a heavy night of drinking.  The music is above average most of the time.  The cooks do have different ways of presenting the food and can be somewhat inconsistent at times but it's well worth the trip.  Uptight, close-minded people need not attend.  This place just kicks ass. Period.

      <![CDATA[I really like the food at the Wayward a lot and I go here all the time.  The all-vegan breakfasts are excellent, and I'd say rival those of the Globe.  But I do have a few complaints about the Wayward.  I appreciate the fact that the workers here don't have to submit to a restaurant standard on the recipes, but the variation in the dishes depending on who prepares them can be a total bummer sometimes.  I've seen portions vary in size greatly, and some items, like the homefries, are delicious one meal and not worth eating at another.  The thing that bothers me more, though, is that their silverware never seems to be clean.  It always has an oily film on it, and sometimes you can see the same oil floating in your water.  Like I said, I still go here all the time, but watch your silverware.

      <![CDATA[The food is so delicious that even several devout carnivores I've been there with have espoused its delectableness. But if you're going out to eat to be waited on, this is not the place for you. Be prepared to wait for a table, set your own table, wait for your food for a long time, and then bus your table. Also, it's cash only. But I promise you'll leave with a belly full of deliciousness and you won't miss the meat a bit.

      <![CDATA[I fucking love this place. Where else can you get a delicious vegan meal while listening to black metal? Or Shellac? Portion sizes are good and the price is right (both of which no longer applies at The Globe), and the outdoor seating options are great. This place is perfect if you're taking a punk on a date.

      <![CDATA[The food is delicious (wonderfully greasy), however I've frequently found suspicious hairs in my food. Literally 3 or 4 times. I stopped going for several months but have tentatively returned because I've found one cook who seems to not have this problem.
    
    Still, pulling a long beard hair from my hash is not something I'll soon forget.

      <![CDATA[Greasy spoonish vegan delights. Good people. Great atmosphere. Big portions. Cheap eat. Community minded. I love this place.
