4th & State, exceptional vegan diner - Edit
I went to Columbus specifically for the vegan scene. My partner and I were downtown visiting the museum and saw this close by. I haven’t been to a proper diner in over six years. 4th & State scratched an itch for classic Americana that had been buried for over half a decade. My partner wanted the chips and salsa appetizer so we shared the tray. This was the only weak point of the meal. The chips and salsa tasted store bought. They weren’t bad, but I am a Mexican guy and can taste store bought immediately. The queso and guacamole were good though.I had the chik’n Parmesan, side of fries, and a chocolate milkshake. The bun was perfectly buttered and seasoned to perfection. The seitan patty was hot and crispy, just perfect. My partner had the classic burger and left completely satisfied. Overall a great restaurant in the heart of Columbus.
Read morePros: Menu, Courteous and attentive staff, Delightful atmosphere and location

All food is fantastic! - Edit
I've eaten here several times and usually have the scrambled Just Eggs and Texas toast - which I love- but today I had the Chik'in tendies(tempeh), bbq, with side of honey mustard and it was the best! Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Bbq sauce was sweet, not spicy(but buffalo sauce is an option) It is considered an appetizer but it was enough for a meal in my opinion or to share. I think it was 8 pieces. Also try the garlic stucks. They are a must. I dont usuallylike vegan cheese but i dont mind this !Atmosphere is great; yacht rock music playing (we usually come on Sundays so not sure it's same everyday ) which I love. It can get busy sometimes but never have had to wait more than 20 minutes. Can't say enough good things about this place. Price on the higher side but quality ingredients probably require it. Couldn't come daily but definitely a regular place I enjoy.

Delicious - Edit
The food was fantastic and the menu had good variety for a diner type of restaurant. Everything looked and sounded so good it was hard to choose, but I got the jalapeño chikin sammich and some Brussels sprouts.

JUST GO HERE! - Edit
1000 stars. My mind was absolutely blown by just how really, really delicious the food was. 🤯 Comfort diner food but all vegan - this is the place i will be bringing my vegan-skeptic friends. The huge menu is overwhelming in the best way. I ended up going with the s’mores French toast sticks (excellent choice), the Nashville hot chickn pizza (soooo good!) and a salted caramel milkshake (YUM).
Read moreMy only regrets are that 1) I don’t live in Columbus and 2) I was too full to try anything else. Dreaming about this place until I can visit again!

Absolutely AMAZING fully vegan restaurant in Columbus! We literally ate here twice. Pizza one night; breakfast for dinner the next night. We spent the whole day working a booth at the Arnold for vegan advocacy, and we arrived at closing. They let us sit down, regardless. They stayed open for us. We absolutely loved our food and all of the staff! They deserve move than 5 stars, the food was divine!!! Vegan stuffed crust pizza. Vegan omelette. Vegan milkshakes. It really doesn’t get any better than this place!!! 💚🌱🔥🥹🫶

Great variety - Edit
4th & State is a very popular vegan restaurant in Columbus. It is a bit pricey, but the ambiance and location is great. They have great hours and even serve breakfast all day. They have great pancakes, French toast, and other breakfast options. They have a large selection of burgers, sandwiches, wraps, sandwiches, and salads, and my favorite is their stuffed crust pizzas! They also serve alcohol and have some great brunch drinks. They also have a bakery case with homemade cupcakes and cookies. It's a convenient location to many downtown attractions like many of the theaters.

So delicious - Edit
I’ve been here twice now. The first time I ordered breakfast, and it was really really good. But the second time I got the lunch menu, and to me the lunch is definitely the best. My husband and I both adored our sandwiches, and my husband said his chick’n sandwich was the best he’s ever had in his life (even compared to nonvegan ones). They also have the BEST vegan milkshakes. Definitely will be back.

Best vegan breakfast I’ve had - Edit
Staff was so nice, our server was patient and sweet. What an unbelievable variety of vegan foods, and the taste! My husband is not vegan and he was amazed at how delicious everything was. I loved that I could order anything on the menu and not worry about it having an animal product. We had a the breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich and apple caramel French toast. Everything was delicious. 10/10 recommend

Came here for top vegan and brunch - Edit
This place hit the spot for hangover brunch. Also the waitress was super nice and made the experience that much better. I do wish there were less pre-made vegan options, like instead of just egg use tofu scramble. I felt like I could cook some of the dishes at home.

Meh meal - Edit
Both chicken patty and hash browns were overcooked and kind of hard. I liked at first that the spicy sandwich had a sweet sauce too on it, but as I kept eating i realized that most bites didn't have that sauce. Also my friends said their burger patties were very thin, but they loved the fries.

Unwelcoming Experience - Edit
Sadly this is the only vegan restaurant I can find around my stay with vegan breakfast so it was either eat here or starve.
When I first came in the only table they had available to parties or 1-2, was right in front of the register and kitchen which doesn’t have an appealing scent so I didn’t want to sit there so I was going to order out instead but decided not to so I can take some time to look at other options.
The first girl gave off the attitude of “either sit there or order out” like there are no other options. Which I later saw there were seats outside (I would’ve sat out there)
When I came back inside another lady decided to speak with me since I could see through the window they were talking about what just happened on why I left.
The older lady came off as annoyed and bit hostile and began taking my order instead of asking if I wanted to eat in or take out (I wanted to eat in but I didn’t know I should just grab a seat if I wanted to).
After I ordered (before paying) I went to grab a seat and she said “uh… you need to pay 🙃” (I thought it was an order at register then grab a seat kind of thing) and I responded “I’m dining in” she then said “oh I asked if you were dining in or if it’s for take out” (she didn’t) so I responded “oh I didn’t hear that, I wanted to dine in” she respond “they’re already making it To go” shaking her head and scribbling out the “take out” written on the receipts- you can tell she was very bothered by that so I just took my order to go.
Now… I worked at a restaurant once before… and I’ve been to many before… is the food not made once the payment is received? I could be wrong so that’s why I’m asking. And she did have the order receipt in hand before passing it to the kitchen so I’m confused to how they were already making my order to go?
Since I felt pressured to taking my food to go, I’ll have this long walk back to my hotel. And by then my food my not be to the standards as I expected.
Again, if I can give it one star I would based solely on the service I received. Honestly if the food were bad but the service was amazing I’d definitely come again.
But even if the food were good I would not be coming here a second time around.
It was just very uncomfortable.
Cons: Experienced bad service , Not enough small party seats

This is one of my all time favorite vegan spots! I just wish it wasn’t so expensive, but damn is it good! Feels like such a treat to go there, I tell all my vegan friends about how delicious this spot is. Service is okay, tons of options, and cute environment.
