This is a wonderful restaurant with excellent food, a serene atmostphere and friendly staff. The food is fresh, healthy and consistently tasty. Their vegetarian gravy is the best I've ever had.
Two Thumbs Up: Victory's Banner is awesome. If you're going on the weekend, make like the staff and zen out as soon as you walk thru the door because there will be a wait (10-40 mins). Put your name on the list and walk to Starbucks to get a paper or check out the thrift store or trendy shops across the street. Once you get a table, you're in for a treat. Sure to please are the raspberry french toast, omlettes, the Satisfaction Promise or Erin's Eggless Wonder. All the eggs they use are free-range (Phil's Farm Fresh). For lunch you can't beat the bacon cheeseburger. Vegan? Just tell them and they'll make your dish to order. The tofu scramble is a fantastic vegan dish. They recently added a few new wraps to the menu and I hope they keep them on there ~ the avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato wrap is outstanding.
In the summer you can bring your dog and eat at the tables outside. The only frustrating thing about this restaurant is that the staff takes retreats a couple times a year, so if you're a regular it can be frustrating when you go all the way over there and find the place closed. But that's what you get for not calling ahead I guess.
Good food, if you can get in: The unusual hours of operation and long wait times are nearly enough to dissuade one from coming here regularly. I love the food and even live in the neighborhood, but I haven't tried to get a table there in over a year. It's kind of frustrating that they don't expand somehow.
Once I put my name on the wait list and then walked down to MoJoes for a coffee. When I was seated, the host made a comment about bringing the coffee in with me.
