Inspired by Vegan Dining Week, I recently grabbed lunch at fast-casual Can’t Believe It’s Vegan in Westerville.
Formerly a delivery service, the 100% vegan brick-and-mortar restaurant opened in 2022 to fill a gap on Central Ohio’s northeast side. It’s been a hit.
- The name speaks for itself, and owner Clayton Freeman’s goal is to make customers “one bite believers.”
What I ate: The weekly special, a pair of cheeseburger sliders topped with spicy mayo and onion, plus fries on the side ($21).
😮 My thought bubble: I had one taste … now I’m a believer.
- This was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. It was juicy and tender — and if they hadn’t told me it was plant-based, I likely wouldn’t have suspected a thing.
- The restaurant is known for its seasoning and the crispy fries delivered.
My only complaint: This meal should be on the menu all the time, not just during Vegan Dining Week!…
