FTMS Restaurant Review: R. Thomas Deluxe Grille

Do you want your brains to be blown by an amazing plate of food?  

(R.'s Raw Veggie Dinner #1)

Yeah, I thought so.

This post is dedicated to one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta.  R. Thomas Deluxe Grille is exactly the kind of restaurant you'd imagine a vegan visiting.  This hippie oasis is filled with funky murals, psychedelic lights, wind chimes, gardens galore, and live exotic rescued birds.  Peace, love, and happiness.  Radical.

Since discovering R. Thomas this summer I've been back at least 10 times.  Every recent Atlanta visitor has been taken there, and I've tried to convince all of my friends to go with me at some point.

The most amazing thing about R. Thomas is that it's NOT JUST VEGAN.  They have delicious dishes that everyone can enjoy!  Some of their yummiest menu items are vegan, and I'm sure people order them without realizing... very sneaky Mr. R.  ;-)

What I love about R. Thomas is their focus on quality ingredients.  Yes, you can get super cheap cheese eggs at Waffle House for, like, 2 bucks... but do you know how many antibiotics those hens were fed while they were over-producing eggs?  Or the cow who over-produced the milk to make that cheese??  Probably not...  So, you'll pay a little more at R. Thomas, but you can be confident that you ingredients are the highest quality.

I wish I had a picture of every dish I've eaten, but I get so excited when I go there I forget... Some of my favorites are:

• Raw Cashew Cheese (O.M.G.)
• Flax Chips (they're home-made and raw!!) with Guacamole
• R's Hearty Breakfast Stew
• Sloppy Veggie Joe
• R's House-made Veggie Burger
• The Southern Vegetarian

• Any side dish - YUM. (some sides pictured above)
• Big Bang Juice - served hot and sooo delicious!!!

My husband's top two dishes at R. Thomas are the Magic Stuffed Baked Potato and the Magic Quesadilla (whatever that magic is, he likes it).

Oh, and let's not forget the desserts.  They ALWAYS have a vegan cake special.  I've definitely had my share...

R. Thomas for my birthday back in August - YES BIRTHDAY CAKE!

Even celebs check out this hot spot!  When we went for brunch after the Atlanta 13.1 Half Marathon we saw Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson!

Notice me creeping in the background...

One last awesome thing about R. Thomas (yeah, it gets more awesome)... they're open 24/7!!!  So whether you want a yummy brunch, lunch, a healthy dinner, or a midnight snack R. Thomas is ready with delicious FTMS!

I'll leave you with one more pic to drool over...

What's your favorite veg/vegan/healthy restaurant???
