Ro's Diner

"Are you a chrome-loving vegetarian who’s missing a retrofitted diner in your life? Champs is perfect. The food totally fulfills the classic diner food craving and leaves your conscience in tact by serving up a menu that is meat-free. If you're not into faux philly cheese steak, try one of their amazing vegan cakes! Also admire the wall to wall black, white, and chrome, as well as the finely tattooed staff." - Radish Lab

"Diners tend to have a good handful of vegetarian options—if you really like eggs. If you’ve got a big group of vegetarians and vegans looking for food after 10pm, Ro’s in Williamsburg is there for you. It’s essentially a plant-based Denny’s, with a reliable selection of comfort food like pancakes, "sausage" gravy, and cheesesteaks that are made with thick slices of seitan. Ro’s is the resurrection of Champ’s (another vegan diner), and not much has changed. The sticky tiled floors, sparkly booths, and mirrored fun-house walls make this a comforting homebase to run into the same strangers you had too many drinks with the night before." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus

"Vegan delivery and takeout available - call or order here." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren

"Ro’s Diner is where Williamsburg vegans go to take care of their hangovers. It’s essentially a plant-based Denny’s, with a reliable selection of comfort food like pancakes, "sausage" gravy, and cheesesteaks that are made with thick slices of seitan. Ro’s is the resurrection of Champ’s (another vegan diner), and not much has changed. The sticky tiled floors, sparkly booths, and mirrored fun-house walls make this a comforting homebase to run into the same strangers you had too many drinks with the night before, down the street." - Neha Talreja

"If cookie dough pancakes, tater tot nachos, and mozzarella sticks don’t sound like heaven to you - we have nothing in common. But since we’re probably on the same team here, you should eat all of these things at Champs Diner on your birthday. Everything on the menu at this Williamsburg spot is vegan, but since most of the vegan population in Brooklyn is aware of this, you’ll probably need to get here before all of your friends to give your name to the host." - nikko duren, matt tervooren
