Originally got the Buffalo fried chicken. The sauce was awesome but the patty was a little bit too heavy and bread-like and I personally didn’t like the bacon. The staff were so helpful and friendly though and offered another recommendation so I got the chicken fried tofu with jackfruit instead of tofu. This was an amazing combination and the sandwich was so good! Love the overall vibe and the super welcoming atmosphere - will definitely be back. There are also not many places that offer vegan pancakes - excited to come back and try those!

This is by far my favorite vegan food joint. I've been going here for over 5 years, back when they had the old cramped location nearby. Their quality did not go down since. I totally recommend the pulled pork sandwhich, BLTA, and the philly cheesesteak.

So effing good! This place has amazing sandwiches (not great for a vegan place, straight up cravable, moth watering sandwiches). Probably the best sandwiches I've ever had (and I'm a foodie!). The portions are very generous, as is the texture and bold flavors! They have a beautiful back patio with plenty of outdoor seating surrounded by roses. Pictured here is the Jalapeño business, I also loved their buffalo chicken sandwich. Their vegan bacon actually tastes like bacon! When those meat cravings strike, this place definitely hit the spot. Must try! Best of Berkeley vegan restaurants

We came from Richmond, VA to Oakland for a work trip. When we were planning our stay, The Butcher’s Son kept coming up as one of THE vegan spots to try in the Bay Area. Suffice to say, we were not disappointed!!! The staff, chefs, and owners of TBS should give themselves HUGE props. Hands down some of the best vegan food we’ve ever eaten. Pictured are the buffalo chicken sandwich (seriously, get this) and the vegan reuben. Our meal was so great that we got dessert to-go! Hope that we are able to come back someday and enjoy this deliciousness all over again.
