    The vegan nachos are AMAZING!! Also, the Banh Mi with seitan was very yummy, too.

    One of the best gluten free menus. Their homemade gluten free bread is awesome - getting to order a GF grilled cheese out is something I've missed! The Bahn Mi is also great w/ the GF bread!

    The veggie burger is the best I've ever had hands down.. I order it vegan cemita style on a ciabatta... And the fries addictive and heavenly!

    The best grilled cheese ever! Every time I come I think I'll try something different but then end up getting the grilled cheese anyway because I love it so much!

    Their gluten free menu is the best! They now offer gluten free bread on their sandwiches. They also use it for their flatbreads, which are awesome.

    Order the cook brie with sweet walnuts and fruit - you will be glad you did even if you don't like Brie… Even if you don't like cheese… Even don't like food...

    As if we were in the 1980's in the middle of Texas, Homegrown does not allow dancing at their venue. They bring in great bands and have reasonable drink specials but they have lost their charm. Congrt
