Went to The Dirty V for the first time yesterday, and the food was amazing! I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Both were delicious but the Mac and cheese, I really loved! Drinks were also good. We had 2 different waitresses, the customer service was also great. I will be returning. Thank you for the great experience. 🙂

LOVED this restaurant! Delicious and completely plant-based, they have a large variety of options and customizable burgers, plus a huge brunch and dessert menu! The atmosphere is so cute, bright pops of color everywhere! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was decadent and a nice break from the traditional “healthy salads and wraps” that us vegans get accustomed to when eating out. Definitely recommend as a cute date spot, chill brunch spot, or even grabbing a quick to go of some lovely comfort foods!

I had the Carolina hot dog and this drink.. I forgot the name but it had boba in it. The staff was friendly. My hotdogs were good.. it’s a great location as there are no other vegan spots in the area.
The menu was expansive offering many vegan food and desert options I will be back with friends!

So good! Huge portions, max flavors and good service. Ignore the “vegan” label – this place slaps whether you’re plant-based or not. Perfect craving or late-night/after-drinks drop-in. You’ll be obsessed. Highly recommend.

We were visiting Raleigh from out of town, and my thoughtful hubby loves me so much he made us a reservation for Valentines Day at Dirty V! And thank goodness he did, because when we arrived the place was packed! The people at the door were super-friendly and had our table ready for us right on time! As advertised! For our appetizer we got the cigars and the onion rings. Both were crispy and cooked to perfection! For our main course we had the hot dogs and the burger which were both delicious. The waitress was kind and attentive as well. Altogether, it was a 5 star experience and we will be back on our next visit!

Brunch at The Dirty Vegan in downtown Raleigh was an absolute standout. As longtime plant-based eaters, we’re always excited to find spots that truly deliver on flavor and creativity, and this one exceeded expectations.
The Bloody Mary was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice and savoriness. The Ultimate Dumpster Fire tray was a bold, layered flavor explosion smoky, crispy, saucy, & indulgent in the best way, while still feeling thoughtfully composed.
We shared the Churro Debauchery, and it was pure brunch bliss. The churros were warm and crisp with a rich sweetness that paired beautifully with a bright, refreshing mimosa. Every bite felt intentional and satisfying.
Service was excellent. Natalie was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed.
The pricing felt very fair for the quality, creativity, and generous portion sizes. If you’re looking for a plant-based brunch in Raleigh that doesn’t play it safe and truly delivers, The Dirty Vegan is absolutely worth a visit.

S/o to Chloe I just wanted to say thank you to the most amazing and sweetest waiter! Your kindness, patience, and warm energy truly made our experience so special. You went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and your positive attitude did not go unnoticed. It’s rare to meet someone who is so genuine and thoughtful while working so hard. You really made our day brighter, and we appreciate you more than you know. Thank you for being so wonderful!

Awful all the way. I had the smac down burger my husband had the crispy chicken with fries. The place was the kind you just want to leave but dont know why. Very weird choice in color on walls not warm and inviting but the opposite. Music was too loud and song choices were terrible! Also not warm and welcoming. The sound of the music too was way too much treble so combined with the cold walls and pure treble music bouncing off them it was a nightmare. We decided to change our order to to go instead. My burger tasted awful, the bottom bun had NOTHING ON IT, Just sitting there under vegan patty…. Bare. My husbands sucked too he said and the fries were ROCK HARD when we got back to our hotel which was a 15 min drive. He kept asking “how do you mess up fries?!” We were the only ones there. No health food rating yet as they brand new and said they haven’t been inspected yet.
