The Vegan Yacht — Restaurant in Austin

This place was so terrible to me. I walked in for my first time and only had a few questions about what they serve as far as food and drinks. The cashier lady was very temperamental after I told her my eye sight is not that good and I could not see the menu. She refused to tell me her smoothie menu and when I approached the counter to get a closer look about the menu she lashed out in a terrible manner. She told me to get out and that I couldn't be there. So I told her straight forward thank you for being rude and she attacked my appearance and HARRASSED me in front of her child and everyone in the store at that moment. I felt discriminated and pushed away from an experience I was looking forward to having for the first time at this place. But all in all terrible service terrible attitude from the cashier. Just warning most. Many blessings to all this spring and God bless. Response: If you want to be critical yes I was discriminated. I am near sighted therefore I can not see far and that is when the cashier became completely unprofessional and did lash out emotionally and then she criticized my appearance after I pointed out the fact that she was point blank rude. I would never go back to an establishment of such with the way I was treated today. And I had every right to correct the cashier for the help that she refused to give me. I'm sorry but if the cashier refuses to help a blind person I think they are the one with the anger issues not I. Again many blessings to your business but that is an establishment I will not recommend especially to women who resemble my appearance. Also I was on the way out the door as soon after her character became offensively critical therefore gave me no chance to explain that I could not see the menu nor did she off any other way to see the menu she just angrily walked away. Again this is not the only vegan restaurant in Austin again I will not recommend either...

To eat here you must really love Cole slaw! I ordered a buffalo bowl and it was extremely disappointing. I thought I was getting a nice ratio of rice, vegetables, and avocado; I decided not to use the vegan protein and hoped for a little extra rice instead. When I received my bowl it was basically Cole slaw; 90% shredded cabbage and shredded carrots, 9% avocado and spinach, 1% rice. I went up to the employee and asked where the rest was. He then pointed out to me if you grains, it was apparently mixed in, but it was so minimal you seriously could barely see it. I asked for more please and was told I had to pay extra. This was offensive considering the lack of rice to begin with as they were skimpy with it.

I truly wish I could get my time and money back from here. I’m extremely shocked at the reviews. Maybe vegan burrito lovers go here and I bet the burrito is better because that bowl was a mistake and laughable. This was my first, and now last, visit here.

Dear owner: You can write me back and try to justify what I was served but I’m telling you right now…. I was served a large portion of coleslaw. My friend felt the same way, I’m sorry this review hurts your feelings as a business owner, but maybe just take the feedback and roll with it and do your best to improve the food and service and not argue with the customer unless you served me today? I was not served 1 to 1.5 cups of rice that is absolutely not accurate!! And I have a friend that can also write a review if you’d like more feedback as she was appalled and...

So here I am on the hunt for a great Vegan friendly restaurant to bring a few “vegan” friends when they come to Austin for a visit. Being that I’m a meat-eater, I haven’t the foggiest idea of where is a safe place for them to consume plants. Well I happen to mention my dilemma to a friend who recommended trying The Vegan Yacht.

Once I entered the place I realized these folks where not your average vegans. They were nice and down to earth. After much deliberation on what to order I settled on the Frito Burrito Supreme. Much to my dismay, it actually tasted delicious. It had flavor and texture. I didn’t need to add any extra spices. My tastebuds were pleasantly and enthusiastically surprised. Even though it was healthy it didn’t taste veganish at all. I felt full without feeling overly stuffed.

Congrats to this team for making vegan food taste like food. Normally I’d say that something good for being vegan. But this actually has to be placed on the same level as meat-based meals. I’d happily return again.

P.S. I also tried the mango soft-serve ice cream. Highly...
