The Bye and Bye

Bye Bye Vegan Restaurant blew me away with its vast array of food options! From starters to desserts, there's something for every palate. The drinks were equally impressive, adding an extra layer of delight to the dining experience. While the staff could have been a bit more upbeat, the cleanliness of the establishment didn't go unnoticed. Despite that, I would still highly recommend giving this place a try. There's so much happening here, making every visit an adventure in culinary exploration!

I used to frequent this place ~7 years ago or and and loved this spot. How sorrowful I am to find myself in realization to the down fall that's since occurred. I went there the other night and started off strong with a rude and ill charismatic bartender. This should have been taken as a stark warning for the continued disappointment to come. It was the pretzel bites that set my praises for this restaurant aside. OH. My god. The cheese was frogging gross. I'm not too sensitive to the peculiar uniqueness of vegan cheese, but dang. It's like they processed a bunch of random foods together and hoped for the best. What was worse, was to see my sweet partner be so offended by the cheese that the expression on her face exhibited one of torture. All I can say is bye bye bye. Do better.

Each month, Untapped Trivia hosts trivia on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday, making it a delightful experience to enjoy trivia alongside drinks and food.The soy curl wrap is fantastic! Very savory and ideal for sharing. The mac and cheese was a bit watery, but breadcrumbs provided a nice crunch.

I've discovered vegan eggs benedicts..used to be my favorite brunch before going vegan. I don't know what magic was used to create this delicious eggs benedict that is vegan. It looks like eggs bennie, and when you cut into the poached egg, a river of yellow ran out. It tastes just like the eggs benedict that I loved in my former life. I also had a Spiced Hot Cider mocktail, and that was delicious.I met friends for brunch. I grabbed a booth with padded benches. Perfect since I've had an issue with my sciatica. Order and pay at the bar, bring number to your table. Loved it since no issues with check, and I had to hurry back to walk a dog, and I could leave as soon as I needed to. The bartender was friendly. Definitely will be coming back!Only negative is parking. Street parking in a popular spot. I parked around the block in a neighborhood. It was a pleasant walk on a nice day. Great start to a busy day!

*vegan review*DUDE. THIS FOOD WAS BOMB. I cannot tell you how pleasantly surprised I was to try their black eyed peas and greens. Somebody in that kitchen using they grandmomma's recipes or something, because that food was blessed by all our black southern ancestors. Wasn't expecting this at all in this city/restaurant which made me all the more amazed. The Buffalo soy curls sandwich was good, but the Mac and cheese & bbq tofu plate are the STARS. Would probably drive back to Portland just to eat that tbh haha.

This review actually pains me to write. The Bye and Bye was always my go to spot. Trusty deliciousness. The bowls were beyond delicious. And the Obie Bowl IS my favorite meal here in Portland. It was always good. Hearty, protein packed and so flavorful with loads of texture. So of course I'd ordered one. And I was told "it's not available anymore." I legit panicked. I was NOT happy. I ended up with the avocado toast because it seemed the most plant based option (no fake meats, etc.) My kids love the meatball sub and my husband loves fake meats. Now I WILL say, the avocado toast is really really good. It's not something I'd go out of my way to have, as I make a pretty good avocado toast myself, but it was delicious. The ambiance/vibe at the Bye and Bye continues to stay the same. Chill. I know it sounds crazy to drop two stars JUST because your favorite menu item is gone but y'all I would drive here, which isn't particularly close to me, whenever I needed a perfect meal. That is Obie's bowl to me. And I'm desperately sad it's gone. I hope you all bring that back because my birthday and mother's day won't be the same without it!!!

My friend and I were at a performance nearby and she suggested this for our unwind. She is a vegan and I love friend suggestions. I am a carnivore but genuinely just love good food and have a lot of close friends who are vegan. We managed a leisurely dinner and I feel like we went during a pretty perfect time - Sunday, late afternoon.I got a beyond burger and it was delicious but, I will say I wanted some fries which they do not have so that did disappoint. Their chips are good but ...sniffle... I appreciated the pickle until I took a bite and my pickle was floppy and not crunchy so it just seemed old and disappointing. My friend gave me a bite of her chili which is served over Fritos and that IS where it is at! Freaking delicious.I get having to go to the bar and order but, as an ADA person, I also am not a huge fan of having to stand in a line to order. It is awkward, especially trying to balance my cane with one hand and my drink, the standing number for my order, my wallet etc etc.... get back to my table... I tend to shy away from bars for food for this reason and prefer to just go to a restaurant. I have been hanging out with a friend who likes to go to bars for food and I love trying new places.I wished I had opted for the Mexican Coke versus their gun because the Coke from the tap was not great and tasted watered down. I genuinely do not drink a huge amount and am highly allergic to hops so I appreciate it when bars have their soda game on point and definitely notice when they don't.When we sat down after we had ordered our food, a person came in and said that they had been waiting for an hour for their food. We started panicking a bit because we wanted to make sure that we got to our movie on time. Thankfully, our food came out much faster than that. I will say that is one convenience of ordering upfront is that when you are done eating, you are done.The space itself I really liked and they have a lot of different spaces for small or larger parties of people.

The best savory vegan waffles I've had !!! Get the Alberta - you won't be disappointed. The tempeh cutlets were so tasty, I cannot believe I've been eating bland tempeh my whole life lol. The gravy was thick flavorful and rich without being greasy. The chili flakes were superb and added the right spice kick. Love love. Go here for brunch, especially if you're vegan!

The Bye and Bye is an all vegan bar in NE Portland. I am a teetotaler so don't drink yet am a longtime vegan so came here for the vegan food.Friendly service and comfortable ambience here. There is a wide range of vegan options to choose from. There was a couple of bowls that looked interesting. My server recommended the BBQ Brussels Bowl so this is what I went for.It came with BBQ tofu, Brussel sprouts, and brown rice. It was super tasty and nourishing. Recommended! Good size portion and price was affordable. I would definitely come back here to explore more of the menu.

u/specialist_donut_206 on Reddit said this place was absolutely terrible so I decided to check it out.Unfortunately she was correct and it definitely isn't the same as the last place.She also seems like she has some severe mental illnesses as well.The Tecate was excellent, though!
