Fast-casual, meat-free, and actually filling — Downtown Raleigh
A great vegetarian lunch in Raleigh shouldn't mean settling for a side salad or waiting 45 minutes. The Dirty V serves fast-casual, completely meat-free lunch every day at 301 Glenwood Ave—order at the counter, grab a seat, and get a real meal: smash burgers, crispy chik'n sandwiches, loaded waffle fries, mac and cheese, and salads that actually satisfy.
Downtown Raleigh workers, students, and residents have limited time for lunch—and vegetarians usually have even more limited options. The Dirty V solves both problems. Our fast-casual counter service gets you fed quickly, and because our entire menu is vegetarian, you get dozens of real choices instead of the one veggie option at a typical downtown lunch spot. It's the easiest vegetarian lunch decision in Raleigh: everything qualifies.
Our lunch lineup covers every mood. Need something handheld? The Basic Betty smash burger or a crispy chik'n sando. Feeling indulgent? A loaded waffle fry tray or buffalo chik'n mac. Keeping it lighter? Dem Greenz salads bring actual substance to the salad game. And if the afternoon calls for it, add a thick milkshake—you earned it. Everything is meat-free, and everything is built to keep you full past 3pm.
We're located at 301 Glenwood Ave in Glenwood South, minutes from Downtown Raleigh's offices, NC State, and Cameron Village. Dine in for a quick sit-down lunch, or order online ahead of time and grab takeout—the full vegetarian lunch menu is available for pickup and delivery every day.
