What people say

Recent newspaper reviews have praised Vedge Restaurant for its creative and flavorful vegetarian and vegan cuisine. One review from The Philadelphia Inquirer, published in January 2021, describes the menu as "ambitious" with "complex flavors that satisfy." Another review from Philly Voice, published in February 2021, calls Vedge "a gem of a restaurant" and notes that even meat-eaters will be impressed by the dishes.

Online customer reviews reflect similar sentiments. On Yelp, one customer wrote in January 2021 that Vedge is "one of my favorite restaurants in Philly," highlighting the beet salad and seared maitake mushroom dish as particular standouts. Another customer wrote in February 2021 that they were impressed by the restaurant's ability to make vegetables "the star of the show."

In contrast, a recent review of an American restaurant located on Locust Street has been less favorable. A critic from The Philadelphia Inquirer visited the restaurant in November 2020 and found that while some dishes were enjoyable, overall the food was inconsistent and lacked inspiration.

Customer reviews on Yelp also echo this sentiment. One reviewer from December 2020 wrote that while the ambiance was nice, the food was "just okay" for the price point. Another reviewer noted in January 2021 that they had a similarly mediocre experience at this American restaurant.

Overall, it seems that Vedge Restaurant stands out among its Locust Street counterparts for its inventive vegetarian and vegan offerings, earning praise from both critics and online reviewers alike.
