I’m not usually fussy at all. But this is the shitiest “vegetarian menu” I’ve ever seen.

    As someone who’s been veg for a long time I got used to places not having any veggie options much less a special menu but yeah they could stand do better considering how common it is now

  2. I guess I’ll go the opposite way and say I don’t mind this menu after actually looking at it (at first I thought it was the regular menu, no modifications). But at least they tell you what they’ll do for you, like doubling up the cheese on one, or what type of vegetarian patty they have. A lot of times you can’t order things like lobster Mac and cheese without the meat because they’re premade.

  3. I’m not sure about rude, but my first instinct is actually a printing error. Like there is another page somewhere that is actual vegetarian options, and they/the printer just messed up. Most restaurants already operate on pretty thin margins, so why waste the money to reprint when a majority of the guests to an oyster bar probably aren’t seeking plant-based options, at least I know I wouldn’t be.

    If I went to a restaurant and this was the menu handed to me I’d just walk right out.

    If you want to basically say “fuck vegetarians” and mock me for my dietary choices, then I’ll just say fuck your business right back and eat elsewhere.

    I wouldn’t trust such a place to actually accommodate and make the items without meat anyways.

    14$ for an ice burg wedge salad? Yeah lol I’m out. This place is overpriced as hell. Oh cool with can order without the meat and still have it be the same price, how thoughtful.

    I will be downvoted for this, but some Buddhists consider oysters to be vegetarian. There’s lore stating that they reached nirvana because they were “carried” on Siddhartha’s staff.

    I would just not eat at this place. It is a seafood restaurant, so I probably wouldn’t even have considered eating there.

  8. Idk yall… this doesn’t seem bad to me? They are basically take any dish that might be done vegetarian and telling how to order. It reassures me that they don’t fuss over omissions and substitutions and I don’t have to think of what to ask.

  9. Wow, i didnt see this was labeled a vegetarian menu. What the fuck are these people thinking!?

  10. I’ve been plant based for a few years now: you know what question I always seem to get:

    “What about fish and seafood?”

  11. This is stupid, I’m aware I can order dishes without meat. Problem is 99% of the time, these places serve it with meat anyway, so I end up looking like a Karen when I tell them I can’t eat it.

    Yep. Definitely giving the middle finger to vegetarians and vegans. Not a great dinner destination.

  13. You should ask to speak to the manager and tell him to shucker that menu up his tucker

  14. As someone who’s not a vegetarian but who has spent a *lot* of time looking for places with options for his vegetarian wife … this seems *fine*? I mean, the place is called Tucker’s Shuckers Oyster & Tap. What do you expect? At least they’re trying. A place with that name, I’d have no expectation for them to have basically any veggie options, much less a separate menu with clear instructions on how to make various menu items vegetarian.

    Honestly, I’d commend them for making some sort of effort. They’re not required to, folks. Lots of places don’t. Especially seafood/oyster places.

    Lame nitpick: CAESAR DRESSING ISN’T VEGETARIAN IT’S MADE WITH ANCHOVY, WHICH IS FISH
