One of the BEST vegan restaurants Ive been to yet! The donuts are absolutely amazing!! And all the food is so delicious I always have a hard time choosing one dish! We always get a pizza though! The crust is to die for!! I drive an hour one way to go here and it is ALWAYS worth the drive!! Highly recommend π π
Wow. The chikken baycun ranch pizza was phenomenal! Vegan pizza can be hit or miss but Birch Bark Eatery is right on the mark! My only real complaint is that I couldnt try everything on the menu in one day and I live too far away to visit regularly. The Boston creme donut is pretty good, tastes just like the original. Onion rings are really good and the reuben sandwich is a classic. I wish they would offer pizza by the slice!! And I think the service could be improved but thats to be expected for a small eatery. Everyone working be was super friendly though.
I have to be honest, I had no idea Birch Bark was a vegan only when I was ordering since I was starving and on way home to hotel and their pictures look so delicious lol. Which is why I was very surprised when I was reading about it in detail the next day after I already had my food from here.I ordered online via their website and it was mostly straightforward other than having to use a 30 min future time and no ASAP option. So we had wait a little after we arrived but it was worth it.The BLT tasted really just like blacken bacon to be honest and it was delicious charred. I love the chips as well really crispy and generous. The cauliflower was done really well too maybe just a little too much of the sauce.If all vegan food tasted like this I would definitely be trying it out more often haha. However Birch Bark is a great example of great tasting vegan option and in the area its a great addition. Happy I had the chance to try them when I was visiting Lake George.
Not only is this place adorable, but holy cow does it check all the boxes. Atmosphere? Adorable. Service? Incredible. Food? If you told me it wasnt vegan Id believe you. I want to marry their bbq Mac and cheese. Definitely recommend! Wait time was non existent, and everything truly was incredible. Ill be here again if Im ever in the area!
Weβre not vegan but we loved our food! The βcheeseβ dip was exactly like real cheese. Love all the options for vegan bacon, chicken, etc, itβs fun to try something different! We got donuts too and theyβre fluffy, chewy, and rich. Not βgood for vegan donutsβ just great donuts, period, regardless of whether youβre vegan or not.
Wow! What a great menu is offered in this delightful cafe! The fried batter dipped avocado was light and fabulously delicious! My husband, who is a big meat eater, had the veggie reuben on marble and was very pleasantly surprised with the taste and texture. I had the barbecue chikken on a roll and it was fantastic! Highly recommend this place!
We just bought a place in town and picked up dinner at birch bark our first night in the new house. Good quantity of food and it was absolutely delicious. Very polite and kind staff.
I gave them 4 stars, because they asked me if I would like Pepsi, and Ive been vegan for 21 years, Pepsi is a no no if your vegan, Id rather have zevia soda Sweetened with Stevia leaf, kumbuca by synergy, but no Pepsi it has poison, and not vegan at all .
Came close to giving 5 stars, but have a few notes of improvement. Would love to try almost everything on the menu.Cons:1. The Reuben sandwich was okay, but the corned beef needed some improving, and it just didnt have enough of a flavor kick or juiciness Id expect. Some more sauce would have been helpful.2. The other thing was with the regular cup of Mac and cheese. It just wasnt salty almost at all, and I expect Mac n cheese to be quite salty. The Mac and cheese meals with the toppings Im sure are probably better, but that sauce has still gotta be satisfying by itself.3. The chips that came with the sandwich were unique in that they were large and tan brown, but they really did taste too bitter and burned to be palatable for my gf and I. Also not salty, only a few large crystals on some.Pros:1. Those fried pickles- mind blown. They were so salty and crispy. Only way I think it could have been improved would be with a different sauce from the salty ranch, something more on the sweet, tangy, or bitter side to complement the intense saltiness. (tartar? honey mustard?)2. Treid an Espresso Pop and a Boston Creme doughnut. Both were excellent, some of the best vegan doughnuts Ive had. The Boston creames filling was so similar to the original it was crazy.3. 100% vegan place!
Great spot where you can get an all vegan menu and with majority being gluten free . You will be amazed at all their appetizers and desserts. Try them all! You will be surprised just how tasty this vegan menu is. Come try it for yourself.
Fantastic vegan food. It was easy to order online and pick up at the restaurant. We may be back there before the end of our weekend getaway in Lake George.
This place is AMAZING. First of all, for a vegan place the menu is HUGE. Half of it can be specially made gluten free which I so appreciate. My whole family shared our meals and I didnt taste one thing that wasnt absolutely delicious. My non-vegan partner and father enjoyed their food a lot, so dont be afraid to drag your wary non-veg friends along. On top of it, their donuts are bomb. Cant wait to revisit!
OMG just about sums up our feelings about Birch Bark Eatery! On our way to Lake George for a mini-vacation, my husband and I stopped here for a late lunch. We had to wait a few minutes to be seated due to Covid limited capacity but we were offered menus so we could order before being seated. This worked out great because our food was ready shortly after being seated. We started with the Bang-Bang Cauliflower and the BBQ Chikken Mac which were both out of this world!!! My husband got the Vegan Reuben and I got the Philly Chzzz Stayq which weβre also delicious. We also ordered a BLT with avocado sandwich to go for the next dayβs adventures. And of course we couldnβt pass up the opportunity for vegan donuts!! We took a half dozen with us to our hotel and each one we tried was amazing! Definitely coming back here next time weβre in the area!
I like the French fries, the cauliflower wings, and the sweet potato fries with marshmellow sauce they were delicious. They fry all items in unrefined peanut oil. Alot of there burgers have soy but the French fries, cauliflower wings, the onion rings and the sweet potato fries do not have soy. Their iced drink with coconut whipped cream and blueberry puree with oatmeal milk are delicious. If you want donuts I recommend the vanilla frosted, strawberry, cinnamon donut, and the maple glazed these are the ones I have tried so far and they dont have soy.Vanilla frosted is my favorite.
Really fantastic vegan options. Everything that went into the fryer was cooked to perfection - highly recommend the fried pickles. Portions were generous, prices were on par with other vegan options that we have had. Variety of burger options- impossible, beyond, and black bean options were all listed on the menu. Well be back!
Birch Bark was incredibly accommodating to a large bachelorette dinner serving us off of their full menu. Food was amazing, service was EXCELLENT, and so generous. THANK YOU!
My boyfriends son wanted to take a trip up to Glens Falls one day just to walk around and explore so we did just that. Before leaving, I stopped into Birch Bark Eatery. I had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, a donut and garlic knots. I know what a selection, but I couldnt make up my mind. Im from NYC so if you make a bacon, egg, and cheese well, you got me & they did! I havent had garlic knots since I went vegan 4 years ago and LORDDDDDDDDDD these were so beautiful. I cant wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. They have such a selection to choose from. You will not be disappointed!
The food is fresh made and delicious. Donuts are the best weve ever had. Always stop here when we go to Lake George.
First time getting vegan donuts, they were pretty good, surprised how close to non vegan they tasted.
This places is awesome. The food is amazing and the service is great. My second time here and I would go again.
Excellent donuts, food was pretty good, very kind and friendly staff but our food wasnt ready for a half hour after the time we ordered it for and they forgot 3 of our items which we came back to get and they were very kind and apologetic.
Awesome pizza!!! Iβm not vegan, just dairy free due to breastfeeding. This isnβt just good vegan pizza, itβs good pizza period! I canβt wait to try more things here.
Unique options. Such a hidden gem in Glens Falls! Iβm a healthcare provider who has found such comfort in Birch Barkβs takeout food during these trying times. The food here is like a warm hug from a friend. Supporting a local business and getting delicious food is the best of both worlds!! It also warms my heart to see the owner leaving bags/boxes of donuts outside at the end of the day for the community to take.
Have loved this place and been a loyal costumer since I discovered it 2 years ago. However I was a little disappointed today. I had purchased a coupon from local flavor, it did say in fine print that it was for $10, for $20 worth of food dining in or takeout but with a minimum purchase of $30. I assumed since they are no longer have dine in and are only doing takeout that this had probably changed, I guess I should have asked over the phone while ordering, but they sounded incredibly busy. When I got there and presented the coupon I was told that I had to spend more money to get to $30, I told them that they didnβt even allow dine in anymore so I didnβt think it would be an issue. But they said nope, I couldnβt use it unless I spent more. If I wanted to order more it would take another 20 minutes, so obviously my food that I had already ordered would be cold by then plus I had to get to an appt, so I chose not to get more. So in the end I couldnβt use the coupon that I had already bought, which was very disappointing and put a damper on my already rough day. I also asked if they had Buffalo sauce, which they said yes, but when I got it, it was clear it wasnβt Buffalo sauce, it was hot sauce like Frankβs red hot. Iβve also noticed there seems to be a much longer wait inside, they are trying to answer the phone while taking and giving orders to people waiting in person. I understand that these are trying times but I wish their service hadnβt suffered so much. Again I do love their food and that itβs vegan, but I do wish costumer service was a bit better.Edit: Thank you for your response, again I had no idea that the coupon had been edited since it said eat in on it and I knew you were no longer allowing dine in. And as for the hot sauce, I didnβt know what it was, I just said that it tasted LIKE it to me personally to give you an idea. Also, I have left a very positive review in the past, but I felt the need to update after my last few visits. I again have noticed that youβve been increasingly busy, which is probably why service has recently been off. But I do hope it improves, as I donβt think I could ever stop ordering your food, itβs one of a kind, so thank you for that.
Being vegan sometimes nothing to eat at restaurants do I appreciate this place! I had Mac and cheese with tomatoes, onions and portobello mushroom slices. We also shared fries. My husband had a beyond burger and fries pickles as an app. Everything was very good! Very friendly staff. They said it was a new location but hard to spot unless looking for it. There is a small public parking across the street. Oh, and they have donuts! Worth going there.
Great food and their donuts are AMAZINGβ¦and the people here are so kind!!!
Great menu for any meal of the day. The service was kind and friendly. Highly recommended!
As a vegetarian I loved the food here. Lots of the items are made in house including couple different seitans. Expect to spend roughly $15-20 per person as on June 2019. Itβs worth it for the quality of the food and the variety. Service was very attentive though a little inexperienced.The location takes some getting used to. Itβs in the KofC hall. The front door isnβt clearly marked. You have to get out of your car to figure out where to go. Between that and the basic feel of the decor is why I went with 4 stars instead of 5.If youβre looking for good vegan food, or you usually eat meat, butwant a culinary adventure this is the place to be!
Order the sweet bbq cauliflower bites with bang bang sauce. Piping hot and delicious.
Nothing like this in the ADK. Ate their twice in one weekend. Try the fried pickles, and the donuts, and the buffalo cauliflower.
Excellent food... Should try the cauliflower wings and the donuts π©π©
Easily the best vegan food weβve ever had! Definitely worth the trip if youβre coming from out of town. Tania, the owner, is so lovely and sweet. We never leave disappointed.
This place rocks. Best food Ive had in ages
I would give 10 stars if i could! This place is amazing. The owner is so nice and friendly and accommodating. Great food for vegans and non vegans alike.
By far one of my favorite vegan restaurants! The BBQ chicken sandwich is my favorite, youβd never be able to tell it isnβt real chicken. My other favorites are the impossible burger, their Mac & cheese, and the garlic knots! Everything is so delicious and amazing! 100% would recommend eating here.
1st let me start with the impeccable service from our waiter, who singlehandedly ran the entire front of the restaurant himself. The food melted in our mouths! We will be trying it all... oh wait I didnβt even mention the donuts.... they are life changing... once you have one you will have another and another... itβs like bang bang in your mouth! In summary this place really rocks your world, in a tastefully delightful way!!
Absolutely Incredible! Havent had vegan food this good in a long time
Amazing food and service! The chicken sandwich is out of this world!! I drive 2 hours just to get it. The workers there are so sweet and helpful and they are crazy quick for holding down the fort themselves!
Great variety of food very tasty
Drummies. Donuts. And everything else! Get it. Now, what are you waiting for?
Not only were the donuts absolutely art, but they were scrumptious. I was almost afraid to eat them and ruin the work. The staff is so friendly. They also are considerate towards the community.
Birch bark has the best food & the best people - so thankful for this restaurant & for Tania... their food is always heavenly!!
Was on a 7hr road trip from Boston to Adirondack and thought it was going to be a good stop. Ordered some lunch and they told me it was going to be a 30 minute wait. When 30 minutes was up and I asked if it was done they snapped at me and told me another 20 minutes. Then I proceeded to ask there is no one else hear, how are you not done. He said it is crowded. I didnt realize two other people ordering was crowded. Eventually got the food 1hr later and it was cold. Dont get me wrong, the food and donuts were amazing, but the service was absolutely terrible. For the amount of money I paid, which was quite pricey, I would expect impeccable service which I didnt receive.
Never been disappointed when I come here! I always try to get something different but the last time I had the chicken bacon ranch pizza and it was by far one of the most delicious things k have ever had. In addition, during covid they were more than accommodating and the process of ordering and picking up was very easy
The Mac and cheese was delicious, as was the tempura broccoli. Also highly recommend the donuts!
The food is very good! I got the BBQ Jackfruit and onion rings. The doughnuts in the front cabinet looked fresh and amazing. My mouth is watering just thinking of trying them the next time I go. The decor was pleasant and from what I saw from the entrance, I would love to dine there if not for Covid. This place has a LOT of potential if only the service improved. Im sorry to say this because its such a shame. I was really looking forward to an awesome experience but I was disappointed. I was told my small order would be ready for pick up in about 30 mins. and I showed up exactly 30 mins. later. There were 3 groups of people already waiting there and the cashier was busy taking orders over the phone. I saw only one other employee in the back working, who came out about 10 mins later with a few orders that were ready, one of which was mine but I didnt know it at the time. The food just sat there while the cashier took an order from 2 people in store. He was consistently interrupted by the phone. He would take the phone order instead of finishing the in person orders or giving pick up orders to the waiting customers. I waited another 15 mins. before my name was called. During that time, 3 more groups of people came in and 2 of them left after not being helped. Its very sad to see lost business in times like these. Even after my name was called, I had to stand there waiting with my cash in hand as he took another phone order! Sigh.... It took a total of one hour before I left with my food. I dont know if it was supposed to be hot (because it wasnt) but the taste was good and I highly recommend it. I just hope they get more employees and consider a more efficient ordering process because if they dont, they are just going to lose more customers.
Hands down the best food made by incredibly hardworking and compassionate people. The artistry in the doughnuts, the flavor packed into every bite... Birch Bark Eatery will always have a special place in my heart. Worth a drive, worth a try, vegan or not!
Food was wonderful and the prices were fair.
Great vegan food and their donut shop is sinfully good! I went with three friends who are not vegan and they were so surprised at how good this was (maybe future vegans ;) I ordered the Krab cakes, the cauliflower wings with Korean bbq sauce, the jackfruit pulled pork bbq sandwich on a sweet potato brioche roll and ended with the cinnamon roll AND NOTHING DISAPPOINTED! I would DEFINITELY go again and bring more friends for the experience.
Incredible food! I always order extra so I can save some for later.
Absolutely sensational vegan diner/comfort food!! We couldnβt believe how good it all was. And the best vegan donuts Iβve had anywhere. Will definitely come back here anytime Iβm in this area!
Great food made by great people. Ive had almost everything on the menu and everything is fantastic but if its your first time, order the loaded fries or the loaded nachos with your meal, you wont be disappointed. If youre a condiment lover like I am, ask for a side of any of their homemade sauces to go with your sandwich, etc. (like ranch or blooming onion sauce) I could drink the stuff!Every restaurant SHOULD make sure their customers are happy and fulfilled but Birch Bark really walks the walk.Truly grateful to have such wonderful people and their business in our community.
Wow, just wow! A vegan restaurant my husband loves( hes part carnivore and loves his cheese) with a multiple page gluten free menu! They have amazing gluten free and non gluten free fries ( triplet approved) with fanatic gluten free Mac and cheese . Hubby got the buff it up pizza that one could not tell it was vegan and only the extra thin crust gave away that it was gluten free and my little chicken nugget addict still has no idea that they were vegan. This is a true gem in downtown Glens Falls. I only wish there were more gluten free donut options but they were sold out. Amazing place
Thank you, Birch Bark, for providing fresh, quality vegan food at a reasonable price. It was so lovely to go somewhere and not have to worry about asking for modifications or just eating a salad. I left full, satisfied, and happy. Also, I appreciate that you show people that vegans can eat everything carnivores eat, including rueben sandwiches, onion rings, and DONUTS!!You rock.Namaste.
Great food. They offer a great selection of gluten free.
Lots of gluten free options!
Delicious vegan food! Amazing donuts. Highly recommended.
Great place for local Vegan foodiesLike the New place!
Check this place out! Best fries Ive ever had, wide selection to choose from, super approachable for vegan and non vegans.I try something new every time I go in and I have not been disappointed. Love that everything is made in house! Great addition to theGlens Falls area, I love the new location.
I have not had better vegan food anywhere else. I highly recommend this place. The Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza is so far my favorite.
Itβs so great to be able to eat anything off the menu and Birch Bark Eatery is a welcome oasis in the north country. We started with the hot chocolate with coconut whip cream and mozzarella sticks and loaded fries. We had a lot of fried food this time and were grateful that they seemed to change their fryer oil frequently as it all tasted fresh. The pizzas were much larger than we expected so we took a lot home. Grabbed some donuts for the road and went home in a minor food coma. Looking forward to going back and working our way through the menu.
This restaurant is out of this world! Amazing vegan menu and their gluten free vegan menu is like nothing I have seen before (in this area). My husband and I were in town for less than 24 hours and we had 3 meals there! Everything we tried was incredibly house made (even the chips that come with a sandwich!) and delicious. We brought home doughnuts for the kids and they were outstanding! (Strawberry Everything! Lavender Lemonade! Orange Cranberry!). 5 stars and I am not kidding when I say my husband and I talked about moving to Glens Falls simply because of Birch Bark!! Kind and friendly staff to boot!
Loved this place! I have eaten here once but have had food from here (that someone else picked up) several times. Everything Ive ever eaten has been delicious. The service is always excellent. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.
Food was excellent, vegan donuts were a special treat!
Great service with a smile. Food was good but the donuts were fabulous!!
Was very excited to see a vegan place open up near work; Im not explicitly vegetarian or vegan, but having the healthy option around is great. Whats better is that the food is fantastic! For $13 I got a really good vegan BLT and a mountain of what might just be some of the best fries I have had. Definitely coming back soon.
WONDERFUL staff!! Food is AMAZING and hard to believe its all vegan! Their homemade donuts alone are worth it!
Just phenomenally delicious every time. So grateful for this place.
Just got their bacon egg and cheese all day breakfast sandwich and WOW. Better than Dunkin any day. Thatβs some good food right there and well worth the price.
The donuts are amazing and are even better than Dunkin! As a plant based vegan i love the menu that they have. My only complaint is that they serve burgers but no shakes for some reason
This place is phenomenal. The food is amazing and the donuts are out of this world!
Absolutely amazing!! Completely mindful to my allergies:)Extremely sweet people!!
Iβm about seven days into switching over to a plant-based diet. Been doing house rehab over the weekend so Iβm basically eating out all the time. This afternoon I had my first craving for something like eggs or cheese; something salty and substantial. I took a chance and googled βvegan Glens Falls.β. I was not disappointed.The menu is ridiculously varied. I had to ask a couple times, βis this really a vegan place?β.This place is the real deal. Eat here if youβre vegan. Eat here if youβre not vegan. You wonβt be disappointed.
Blown away by the stuffed burger! Enjoyed the buffalo cauliflower bites as well. Feel like the person that took our order could have been a little friendlier, but Im from the south so it could just be me. The food is fantastic and we will certainly be back.
Great food- this had us return for a second time while on a trip which was a much better experience than our 1st visit! First time was a little busy and I was made to feel my order was a big burden for the staff ringing us up, and the order wasnt that complicated (Ive worked in food service!) But he mightve been new? Anyways, delicious food!!! π
We live 45 minutes away and Birch Bark is my birthday destination! Everything is yummy! And after the pandemic the location is beautiful too!!
The food was deliciously fantastic. There is creative different options available on the menu. Dessert was great. The service was fantastic, a nice enjoyable armosphere. Overall an awesome experience. β€ I will definitely be going back to try more!
We came here with our two little girls that have a ton of food allergies. We bought a ton of slices of the Sβmores Pie and some Boston Creme donuts and we have all loved everything we got here! Even if youβre not specifically vegan this is some amazing food and we canβt wait until our next trip brings us back to the area to stop in and try even more off their menu!The staff there was amazing, helpful, and made our two girls feel incredibly special. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone, whether youβre a vegan or not!
A great little place with a delicious menu, friendly staff and great service! My husband and I stopped in during an anniversary road trip, we were delighted by the vegan options, the kombucha and mushroom teas, and the donuts (of course!). The staff were so kind, they kept apologizing because its a small venue and they had a sudden influx of customers, but honestly we barely waited for our food, they were very attentive and there really wasnt anything to apologize for!We would definitely go back if we visit the town again.
2 words: Eat Here. Dont be put off by the inconspicuous location or the humble building. Dont be put off if youre not vegan, or even vegetarian. The food here is fantastic: highly flavorful, made-to-order American comfort food. Every aspect of our meal was a home run: the kale salad, the chicken sandwich (w/ Korean BBQ sauce), a Reuben sandwich, incredible potato chips, and the sublime french fries. Seriously folks, Im a vegetarian and my wife is vegan and it felt like we were going back in time and reliving some of our great food memories. I honestly dont know how she does it, but the chef here is truly talented and I cant wait to watch this place thrive. Eat here.
Funny place. When we drove up to it we could not tell that it was a restaurant. We almost turned around to go elsewhere. We are so glad we did not do that! Simply incredible! We wanted to try everything on the menu. We settled for the parmesan chicken sandwich and the rib sandwich. Both were to die for!. Would definitely go back and would most certainly recommend others go.
My son and I both had the impossible burger, Birch Bark style, very tasty. Everything was very fresh and crispy. I recommend the fried pickles and avacado fries. Thumbs up. Our new favorite place to go when were in town. I cant forget to mention Buddy, he gave awesome service and was full of information. Wonderful addition to our area!
PHENOMENAL First, I ordered the Krab Cake and it tasted like it should belong in a 5 star restaurant. It was the best crab cake I had in my life and it didnβt even contain crab (no imitation anything either)βEveryone needs to try it. Secondly, I ordered the Kale Salad and whatever they did to that actually made the Kale taste like I did not want to stop eating it...ever (usually I eat it only because itβs healthy but who knew with the right accompaniments it would be something Iβd be craving hours later). My son who is not plant-based and completely despises vegetables and their products DEVOURED his Impossible Sliders (proud plant-based mama moment ).I have eaten a lot of places (vegan and not) and this is the best meal and service I have had in dining out in many years.Bravo!
