Two Delicious Diners Set To Open First Las Vegas Locations

Author Shawn Tempesta
Get ready for some delicious diner options coming soon to Las Vegas.

There is nothing quite like walking into a diner and getting some delicious comfort food. The New York/New Jersey area is known for the old school diner. Southern California is also known for many delicious diner chains that are quintessentially SoCal. Well, Las Vegas is about to get diners from both areas that will make your stomach smile.

Famed diners from New York are set to come to Las Vegas

First, New Yorkers rejoice! Delicious cheesecakes, comfort food and an elevated diner experience is coming to Resorts World Las Vegas! Juniors Restaurant & Bakery claims to have “The World’s Most Fabulous Cheesecake”. We can attest, the cheesecake is reallyĀ reallyĀ good. “Fabulous” is a very Vegas claim, so why not be here!

Their food goes beyond the cheesecake. Their breakfast and entree menu is pretty full featured. Everything from gut-busting deli sandwiches to steakburgers, all of your breakfast favorites to a baked onion soup that is to die for! Again, we can attest. It’s amazing.

Junior’s only has four locations: two at and near Times Square in New York, their original location in Brooklyn, and at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. This will be their first location out of the Tri-State Area and is set to open this November.

SoCal favorite is heading up Interstate 15

Southern Californians, there is a big surprise in store for you as well! For the first time ever, the famed Norm’s Restaurant is leaving the comfy confines of the greater Los Angeles area and building a new locations on West Charleston at Decatur come next summer.

Norm’s has been around since the late 1940’s and now boasts around 20 restaurants – many of them 24 hours. The menu features cheesecake, but imported from The Cheesecake Factory. Still, the food is all comfort with a huge selection from breakfast to seafood and everything in between.

Here’s hoping our Norm’s makes the 24 hour thing a “norm” and we can get some solid, non-Denny’s options during the late nights. We do love some Peppermill, but that parking lot is pretty dicey. It will be nice to have options!

4 Fast-Food Restaurants Flavorful Plant-Based Picks

The once-challenging quest for vegan options at fast-food restaurants has gotten a lot easier in recent years. Gone are the days of painstakingly customizing orders to suit specific dietary needs. Or worse, just having French fries and lettuce. Fast-food chains have taken significant strides in recent years, expanding their menus to offer an array of plant-based choices.

Plenty of fast-food chains have recognized the shifting dietary preferences of their customers and have embraced the challenge of providing satisfying vegan options. The evolution of vegan choices at these establishments has been impressive. From the golden arches of well-known burger joints to the cozy corners of popular sandwich shops, the vegan revolution has made its mark.

Plant-based and vegan fast-food options

Vegans no longer have to rely solely on customizing existing meals to meet their dietary requirements. Instead, they can revel in the sheer variety that now graces the menus of fast-food chains. These establishments now proudly feature vegan burgers that sizzle and satisfy, dairy-free milkshakes, and even plant-based twists on classic comfort foods.

With an increasing number of people embracing plant-based lifestyles and seeking sustainable dining choices, the fast-food industry has risen to the occasion. These establishments understand that providing diverse options isn’t just about following a trend but about fostering inclusivity and catering to many people with specific tastes and needs. So, the next time you’re in a hurry and hunger strikes, rest assured that the vegan options at fast-food restaurants are not only abundant but also thoughtfully crafted to satisfy your cravings and nourish your values.

Whether youā€™re on a diet, dairy-free, vegetarian, or simply vegan there are fast-food places for you to grab a quick bite. Check out these fast-food vegan restaurant menu items. If you’re a very strict vegan, you might consider checking with the establishment regarding any potential cross-contamination with meat products when placing your order.

  • Taco Bell

    According to Taco Bell, most of their products are vegan. They say to order any item “fresco style”, which replaces mayo-based sauces, cheeses, and reduced-fat sour cream with freshly prepared diced tomatoes. Then, substitute the protein with black beans, refried beans, or potato bites. In June, the chain announced that theyā€™re testing a new Vegan Crunchwrap which is meatless and dairy-free. If all goes well, you can soon see that on menus too.

  • Dunkinā€™

    For a restaurant known for itsĀ coffee, you may be surprised by the vegan options. Dunkin offers more than 20 vegan menu items, according to their site. Dunkin’ features avocado toast and a selection of non-dairy milk alternatives such as oat, almond, and coconut milk to accompany your coffee. In addition to avocado toast, vegans can enjoy other choices like avocado and roasted tomato toast, a bacon avocado tomato sandwich minus the bacon, various bagels including plain, cinnamon raisin, everything, and sesame without cream cheese, an English muffin, and hash browns.

  • Chipotle

    For those seeking plant-based options, Chipotle has consistently offered a reliable meal comprising rice, beans, fajita veggies, salsa, and guacamole. The year 2013 saw a transformative addition to Chipotle’s menu with the introduction of vegan sofritas. This was a game-changing choice; it features flavorful spicy braised tofu. As confirmed by the restaurant chain, their sofritas option has been given the seal of approval for both vegans and vegetarians alike.

  • Burger King

    Burger King offers the Impossible Burger patty, which is widely available across their fast-food outlets nationwide. The Impossible Whopper, just like the classic version, features an Impossible patty crafted from plant-based ingredients. Both Burger King and Impossible Foods representatives informed INSIDER that, upon request, the Impossible Whopper can be prepared separately to ensure it is not cooked on the same surface used for meat products. Additionally, Burger King has begunĀ testing Impossible chicken nuggets.
