Fog Eater Cafe

“Loved our dinner at Fog Eater Cafe. The retro‑Southern vibe is charming, and the menu is full of creative, beautifully executed vegan small plates and entrées. I had the mushrooms‑and‑mashed‑potatoes dish, which was outstanding — the battered mushrooms had a nostalgic, almost KFC‑like crunch in the best possible way. Dessert was a highlight too; the banana pudding was pure indulgence. Fresh local flowers at every table were a wonderful touch (see photo). The servers were genuinely friendly, and the co‑owner even stopped by to share the story behind the café, which made the experience feel personal and welcoming. A fantastic spot for a meal — highly recommend.”

“Some of the best plant-based food I’ve ever had. Every dish I had was delicious. The biggest two stand-outs for me were the fried mushroom main, and the beignets dessert. They also had a lovely non-alcoholic drink selection. Service was excellent. They have a dog-friendly outdoor space.”

“Hands done one of my favorite meals this year (and maybe the past 10 years). We sat at the counter and enjoyed wonderful service - and some great jokes - from the team at Fog eater. The Mac and cheese was divine. The seasonal small plate delighted, and it was a two way tie for most favorite dish. The gigante beans with grits and the seasonal pie were outstanding. The flavor combinations and presentation of the overall meal brought an actual tear to my eye. Thank you for hustling so hard, bringing such care to your ingredients and making your restaurant fun and welcoming.”

“This place is SO DELICIOUS — I can’t stress enough how the grits and gigante beans took my breath away. Absolutely incredible ! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and the staff is kind, friendly, and helpful to boot. Probably the perfect restaurant ?? It was amazing to have so many options as a vegan. We loved it here and can’t wait to go back.”

“This place was a grand slam of an experience. My wife and I were immediately both super impressed with the charm of this cafe. The mismatched salt and pepper shakers, fun and vibrant colors, Nancy Sinatra playing in the background, and the ice cream parlor feeling bar facing the small kitchen. I kept feeling like I was in a Wes Anderson movie. My fried blue oysters with mashed potatoes were absolutely wonderful and flavorful, and my wife’s pistachio crusted tofu was also unique and incredible. We even got pie for dessert (which we don’t normally do) and were again, extremely happy with our choice. The whipped cream on top was fluffy and not overly sweet, the crust was flaky, and the caramel drizzle was rich and delectable. We left, happy as two (vegetarian) clams, and as we walked away, captured the night time quaintness of this side street gem. Thank you so much for serving us our favorite meal on our honeymoon. Can’t wait to come back.”
