Hundreds of millions of reviews are posted on Yelp, and our automated recommendation software works in the background to showcase the reviews that it determines are most helpful. These are typically written by active members of the Yelp community who are self-motivated to share their personal, detailed experiences about local businesses. It applies the same objective rules to reviews of every business and treats reviews of advertisers and non-advertisers exactly the same.
The software does something no human can—regularly analyze billions of data points from all reviews, reviewers and businesses to evaluate the usefulness and reliability of each review. It’s engineered to provide a level playing field for all businesses on Yelp. Having a great reputation on Yelp shouldn't be about who has the time and resources to ask the most people to write reviews. Great Yelp reviews and ratings should come from consumers who had a great experience that they’re inspired to tell others about. Learn more here.

All hype.
If you want some mediocre vegan food with a hipster vibe at a five star price; you have come to the right place.
If you want great or even good vegan food, where the size of the portion matches the cost of the food in a chilled out atmosphere, you have walked into the wrong restaurant.
I would have expected more from this place in terms of social responsibility - in a time when we are working to limit garbage thrown into the ocean, they give several plastic straws per drink even though I said no plastic straws please.
The restaurant was clean and the servers were very attentive and helpful and very deserving of the tip I left.

What a joke. My husband and I used to come here all the time and have taken many friends too. Have had almost everything on the menu and have loved it. We took a four month break and decided to come back. It was utterly disappointing. We ordered our usual. When it came my lettuce was unwashed and had dirt on it. I sent it back and then was asked what I wanted hem to do with it. Just discard the lettuce or make a whole new burger. I said whatever is easiest because at this point I was already agitated. My new burger came out again with dirty unwashed lettuce. To finish off they practically insulted us by taking $4.43 off. Let me write it out cause it sounds even more pretentious... four dollars and fourth three cents. What a joke. Don't waste your money.

I sincerely hope this review is seen by management. I loved the food when I was here last week with my daughter and her friend. Service was efficient, timely and pleasant. When my daughter came back with her friend on their own yesterday, they were very poorly treated. Service was non-existent, a little unfriendly according to my daughter. Ignored and not feeling welcome was how she described her experience. Both girls enjoyed their meals, as they did the first time here, however because of their age, I am assuming, the servers completely failed to execute what they were hired to do, which is serve in a friendly manner. My daughter tipped out 15% to the server, but she told me that she wanted it to go to the cook, because she was raised in the restaurant world, I having owned one for 25 years,she knew that he was the only one deserving of it. She was sad and disappointed. My reason for writing this, beware of this place if you are younger than 19. They treat you like trash. They don't deserve your patronage.

Hype and nothing else.
The restaurant is very loud, which makes it hard to enjoy the bland food.
I like that there is another place in Vancouver catering to vegans and vegetarians but the menu tries too hard to be something. In the end the food is not done well, often over or under spiced so either bland or too much. -

Absolutely the worst restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life! The food was extremely priced and pretty disguising. A total waste of my time and money and you couldn't pay me to ever go back to that place!

The customer is always WRONG at Meet on Main is what I got from my dining experience here.
Don't waste your time with this spot. There's nothing inspirational about their food, but worst of all is their staff and service. It was my first time dining here, first impressions last a life time and I won't soon forget this one.
I ordered the Blue Cheese Veggie Burger that came with no blue cheese. I brought this to the attention of my server who also agreed there was no blue cheese and there must have been a mistake. I said "don't worry about it, I don't want to waste food, do you mind just charging me for a regular burger instead?" She replied with "no worries, of course, but I'm going to see what happened here."
10 minutes go by, as I've finished over half my burger and what I assume to be the manager came to tell me all about how I was making the mistake.... Uh what?
I said "I know what blue cheese tastes like, it's quite strong, and this has nothing on it of the sort." He goes on a rant to make me feel like I was trying to cheat the restaurant out of $2...
Trying to rectify the situation by bringing me a side of their blue cheese dressing - WHICH by the way tasted like Kraft salad dressing - I dunked my finger in the cup and slurped it off just to be an ass to the ass, and said, "ya, my burger didn't have any of this on it and I'm basically done it by now. I'm not paying for the blue cheese burger when I didn't eat one." He seemed furious and scoffed and walked a way.
BUT what made this whole this worst is that he came BACK another 10 minutes late trying to be my table's best friend. "Heeeeeey, are we all good?" *smile, wink, thumbs up*. What a prick. If you're an ass be an ass, don't go having multiple personalities on me.
As for the food, nothing special. Or the manager just left a horrible taste in my mouth no 5 star Michelin restaurant could have cleared.
Better options aren't too far away like The Acorn, or The Wallflower. There's always veggie Mexican a little to the east at Banditas on Commercial Drive.11/2/2014 Hi Connor D

I'm disappointed to hear you had such a poor experience with us. It always stings when someone has such a bad time that they need to shout it out to the world. There is a group of us working hard every day to get things down pat in our new space. I also understand our Manager has already sent you a note personally and did try to make things better while you were with us. Sorry if it didn't work for you. Our rapid growth has created many unexpected challenges. We will be better.
Some notes re the root of the problem - there actually was blue cheese on your burger, it was just hiding in a sauce. Obviously, there was not enough of a blue cheese experience for your taste. We added the blue cheese to a house made aioli to soften it's blow after our first couple weeks, as most customers found the taste of the blue cheese too strong. It appears from your feedback that we missed the mark again and went too far the other way. Our staff has chatted about a couple different options that may improve this dish and we are testing these now. Hopefully you can give us another shot and let us know what you think of this and a few of our other menu options. To everyone else - 8 weeks after opening, we are so grateful for your ongoing support, excitement, accolades and feedback - we will keep working hard to get things right Read more -

I took my dad for a lunch here and we were both kind of disappointed for some reason. I would go back and try other things as the reason we went is we're both meat eaters and want to eat a lot less of it. I had a cauliflower appy and he had a loaded burger. I will definitely try again but more for the ethics, not the actual food. I hate to say that, but it's true. The servers were super nice and the environment is fresh and quirky. Meatless bar food is a great idea.

I want to like this place so badly, but just can't!
I've been here about half a dozen times now and am always disappointed with the food.
The menu is a vegan/veg dream and the staff are super duper friendly (and cute!), and the vibe is great... but I never leave satisfied with my meals.
Food is either too bland, too greasy or the flavors are actually kinda icky
So much heart, but just not the right execution. -

We had a mini birthday celebration at this location and we ended up waiting about an hour before they had a table for us. It is a pretty small restaurant so completely understandable.
It took them a good 45 mins before our food starting coming out. We ordered:
- Sweet-Chili Cauliflower (Delicious!! Highly recommended)
- Whisky BBQ Things (All you can taste is BBQ sauce... order if that's your thing..)
- Chili Cheez Fries with Queso (Delicious! I can't believe it's not real cheese!)
- Groovy Gravy Fries (Chilli Cheez Fries is much better!)
- The MeetBurger
- The Main Burger
- Marinated Portobello Burger (Generous with the Portobello)
- Noodle-y Thai (Delicious!)
Portions were good but about the burgers - I don't know what they used but it tasted really off. I had much better veggie burgers at Whitespot! Halfway through the burger, I just got rid of the patty because it was starting to make me gag...
Earlier, we asked them to keep the birthday cake for us in the fridge. After dinner, they brought it to our table along with the bill... WARNING: THEY HAVE A $10 CAKE SERVICE FEE FOR STORING CAKES!! That's probably something you should let your customers know about as you take the cake from their hands...
I probably won't go back (especially for events involving cakes).
Summary
- It's a pretty small restaurant, so expect long waits
- Hit or Miss items on the menu so make sure you check other reviews before going
- THERE IS A $10 CAKE SERVICE FEE O____O (still blows my mind)
