"I drove to Lexington to drop a friend off half way. We meet his ride and decided to eat at Gumbo Ya Ya as a vegetarian friendly recommendation. Just to let you know they rotate their menu so be prepared. They did have two vegetarian dishes one spicier than the other. I ordered the mushroom and Spinach Etouffe the spicier of the two. It was really good over the thick white rice. I would have preferred a brown but it was still relatively good. Everything is pretty much made ahead of time. This is not gourmet dinning but simply good budget food. The restaurant had interesting art throughout and the staff was friendly. I'd avoid the praline desert as it was just pure sugar and a few nuts. The cookie was good though it too was a bit sugary. In any case I found this to be somewhat unique and of healthy options for the vegetarian dinner. I'd recommend it if you are in the mood for its style."

I tried the vegan California creole at this restaurant and it was delicious, but I was slightly disappointed by the limited selection of vegan options available. View menu

This restaurant is a good choice for vegan and vegetarian diners. While it would be nice to have more vegetarian options available daily, the two options they do offer are delicious and satisfying.

I drove into town and stopped here first thing- starving. It was very good... but I wish they had more than one vegan option per day. What they did have was very good and the price was great! Definitely check it out!

As someone with many food allergies, I appreciate having more vegan options available. It can be difficult to find something I can eat without needing adaptations. However, all the food at this restaurant is fantastic! View menu

I love the staff and the food!! Once in a while they will be sold out of their vegan selection but they always have a vegan and vegetarian option. VERY HOT especially if you add they awesome special sauce. Cheap Beer!! Fun atmosphere and never a crowd. Menu rotates so you can't get the same thing all the time.
Rita
always at least one vegan option, sometimes two. quite always at least two vegetarian options. only after-parts is in the rule only a vegan option, but they must stay in business and realistic is the vegan population is just a small part of their business. also the vegan option on the menu is often the same for about a week to a time, so it is not in the rule the type of place that I would eat twice in a week. the atmosphere is very beautiful, and even if there are very long lines, the staff will keep them down very quickly. free rehearsal of everything on the menu and no pressure to buy if they do not like the rehearsal of the vegan option. they can always call in advance or view their face...
