Veggie Galaxy, a vegetarian diner in Cambridge, has been named Best Vegan-Friendly Restaurant in America in a reader survey by VegNews for its annual Veggie Awards.

“Every menu item at this 14-year-old Boston-area vegetarian diner can be made vegan – a blessing for plant-based eaters looking for corned beef hash Benedict, Oreo pancakes or a casual Mac ’N Stack,” the site said Feb. 6, giving Veggie Galaxy first place among readers as well as recognition as an editors’ choice. (For the uninitiated, a Mac ’N Stack is fried chicken, bacon, and Sriracha sauce between two waffles formed out of macaroni and cheese.)

The restaurant makes traditional diner comfort food from scratch, from burgers and BLTs to steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy, and a chicken Parm – but using no meat. Vegans can take menu items an extra step to avoid eggs or other dairy products.

The restaurant, at 450 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square, was featured in 2019 on chef Guy Fieri’s travel series “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” with Fieri saying of the Veggie Galaxy concept: “This needs to go places. People need to have this in their town.”

The runners-up in the poll was another vegetarian diner in Chicago and a pizza joint in Portland, Oregon. Readers had 250 candidates among the categories, according to VegNews. A publicist said “thousands” of readers voted.

VegNews editors had a final tip for readers sampling Veggie Galaxy: “Be sure not to miss the goodies from the on-site vegan bakery – the hybrid cinnamon-roll cake slice is to die for.”
