You will have a variety of gluten-free and vegan options to choose from on the menu. We truly enjoyed the freshness of the ingredients and the sweet potato base. Just warn your parents, the Philly sandwich is not steak, set the expectations before you order.

Warm welcome and outstanding food
We’ve wanted to try this place for a long time and finally made it today. We’re so glad we finally got there, as it was great.
We received a very warm welcome from Scott the owner, and he made time to explain the extensive menu as well as the day’s specials. We found a table in the sizeable outside area at the rear and began a long debate about which of the delicious sounding options we would choose. Drink options were also impressive, and we understand all are (like the food) all home-made.
After much discussion we decided on the Rueben and the Thanksgiving sando (one of the specials). When Scott brought the two plates to our table, it became obvious why he doesn’t need to do bicep curls at the gym. The portions were HUGE, and we immediately knew that we’d be taking one sandwich home.
We decided to eat the Thanksgiving sando, and it was top-notch. The `turkey’ was encased in a crispy batter and accompanied by mash, cranberry sauce, and a light mayo-type sauce – in (we think) a pretzel bun.
This is a serious sandwich – we had to cut it in half to even lift it, and one half was more than enough for each of us. It was served with excellent fries and some light and flavorful home-made ketchup.
It took a while (and approximately 5 napkins each) for us to finish a truly outstanding, deliciously messy sandwich. Despite having a long list of chores to accomplish today, we both succumbed to sandwich coma for the rest of the afternoon. The Reuben has been saved for tomorrow, so that we have the perfect excuse to avoid chores again.
Seriously though – Eris is a must visit, and we’ll definitely be back to go through more of the extensive menu. Scott is a friendly and interesting guy to talk to (ask about his comic book knowledge). His food is created with care on the premises – it’s skillfully made & presented and is not just bland, defrosted meat substitutes that you get in some other vegan restaurants. It tastes great and the portions are extremely generous.
Even if you’re not a vegan, highly recommend you give it a go.

Food was outstanding! I ordered the chickn parm plate. Delicious! The pesto sauce on the pasta side was extraordinary. My friend ordered the chop salad a galactic fries. All so good. The owner, Scott was very attentive and a devoted vegan. A very knowledgeable chef. The food is satisfying and a good value. Don’t hesitate….go and eat!

A must-try vegan gem — even our non-vegan friends were amazed!
The chef-owner’s kindness and passion shine through from the moment you walk in. He helped us choose with such patience, and every dish was bursting with flavor.
The portions are huge — we had delicious leftovers the next day! We tried the meatloaf, burger, and kids chick’n nuggies, and every bite was fresh, flavorful, and comforting.
The vibe is amazing — cool decor, indoor-outdoor seating, and just a short stroll to the sea for sunset.
Highly recommend for anyone who loves good food, good energy, and genuine hospitality. 🌱✨

Tarzan made it a 10x experience from an already 10x experience.
There are so many incredible options to choose from on this menu. I think we did a pretty damn good job though.
The Not Chickn Gyro, Brutus Pizza, & the Triple Taco Platter was absolutely stellar. Along with the entrees, their vanilla bean ice cream, peach cobbler, chocolate cake, & root beer float were so tasty.
Each dish had such unique flavor that made it stand out above almost any other restaurant that makes comfort food like this. I personally believe from a creative aspect, overall flavor & presentation (even the price) that the Chickn Gyro was the most incredible item on the menu! I can’t wait to go back & order more of the Tacos.
They make everything from scratch, including their cheeses & most impressively their Seitan; FROM SCRATCH! I don’t even like Seitan, until now.
Their sodas are tasty delicious & worth a try. The root beer & ginger soda was our favorite. Plenty of parking around the block & the service (provided by Tarzan) was some of the best service I’ve EVER experienced at any restaurant I’ve ever been too (this includes fine dining, cafes, diners, etcetera).
Thank you Team Eris (look up the Greek Goddess Eris). Grateful for your space & delicious comfort food.
