I just happened upon this place one day and go back often for a nice dose of mac-n-yeese. Hillside takes veg in another direction. Add a little jerk salt, Jamaican flair, and an eco-friendly environment - and you've got a damn fine sandwich shop. Everytime I've eaten there - there's only been one employee, so depending on how full the restaurant is - the food can take a little while. It is, however, well worth the wait. Try the Mac-n-yeese or the faux tuna sandwich - my faves. They also have a location in Tacoma. I had the best brunch ever!

If you’re tired of eating veggies or eating Chinese/Thai and you just want some good ol ’ American type fast food this is the place. I have been dreaming of having vegetarian food this good. I just recently went back to being a vegetarian and I have had some REALLY bad tofu experiences. I have to say this stuff tastes like the real thing if not better. I took two meat eaters to the U-district shop and I was very VERY apprehensive about the food. One taste and it totally changed my mind and my friends. We all tried something different; the tofustrami sandwich with potato salad and coleslaw on it was fantastic! My friend ordered the Fremont Philly steak sub with seitan . OMG it was to die for and I hate vegan cheese and usually steer clear of it but this was finger lickin ’ good. This place is a must for any vegetarian or vegan. If you want lots of veggies or another salad go try the six hundred other vegetarian places…this place is good ol ’ soul food and deserts. I cant wait to go back and try more! Oh yeah, and chocolate cake slices as big as your head!
