Definitely A Favorite - Edit
Great food, atmosphere, staff, etc... Am not an urban guy so I am grateful this place isn't in Washington DC or Baltimore; though kinda in the middle of nowhere, haha... And I don't mind paying for a good meal, especially to support smaller vegan businesses, but some things (drinks and dessert for example) are a bit costly; makes an informal simple meal too expensive .

You can't go wrong - Edit
You literally can not go wrong with anything at great sage. Menu items are seasonal. I don't think it is healthy for our bodies or the environment to consume excessive amounts of imitation meats, BUT if your gonna do it great sage is THE place. My favorites so far have been the beetroot burger, buffalo cauliflower bites, reuben sandwich and they had a homemade "sausage" sandwich with molé sauce and that was amazing. The mac and cheese is always amazing and don't forget to get a cookie on your way out! The first dessert I ever had was the carrot cake and that will forever be my favorite. The chocolate addict inside me craves the chocolate lava cake with coconut ice cream (always coconut ice-cream, never soy (unless your allergic)). I see that they have a pierogi quesadilla on the menu now ... if I was in the Maryland I would be all over that.

One of my favs - Edit
This restaurant is fantastic! I wish it were bigger because it’s so popular. Or that they’d open a new location. Their menu is always wonderful. I’ve only have one bad thing from here and that was the cauliflower appetizer, it’s just too soggy. The wine pairings are lovely and right on the money. Coffee after dinner is sublime. The seasonal crisp is one of my go to meals. (It’s expensive, but worth it)

Great food, but not a lot to choose from during 3-5pm - Edit
Super delicious, but every time we have the opportunity to stop by is during their "lite fare" menu and it's super super disappointing. The first time me and my boyfriend went we were looking at their menu online and thought we'd have so much to choose from, but when we got there we realized we didn't. I would go again if I could make it during their breakfast, brunch, or dinner menu.

Feeling Reuben-Esque? - Edit
We were both thinking about good vegan restaurants, thinking how good a Reuben would be for lunch. Joe said, let’s go to Great Sage for lunch. Yep, the Reuben’s were awesome and the Pina Colada cake for desert was beyond belief. Go there, they do not disappoint

Summer menu is great! - Edit
Great sage is a frequent favorite for me and my husband. We just went to try their summer menu and it’s delicious! The beet burger is a great addition and so is the summer berry salad. I have always loved the adult Mac and cheese - truly THE BEST Mac and cheese ever and I’m a former cheese addict so I know my Mac and cheese. The summer Mac and cheese is delicious too, definitely worth ordering, and is a nice switch up but I’ll be happy when the original is back on the menu :)

Fantastic Vegan Restaurant to visit - Edit
This is one of our favorite restaurants. The menu changes seasonally but there are a few items that do not rotate. My wife always gets something different, but I usually get the adult Mac & Cheese because it is so delicious and I can't help myself. They also make great cocktails, have excellent wine and you must save room for desert. You can't go wrong with Great Sage.

Wow! - Edit
So this was my first trip to an all vegan restaurant and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. It was really great knowing I could pick anything on the menu and not have to worry about hidden animal products. The food was super tasty and the staff very friendly!

Great restaurant!! - Edit
I was driving back to NY after a weekend trip to DC with my mom, and while on the highway decided to check out HappyCow to find a good spot for dinner, and wouldn’t you know Great Sage was less than a 10 minute drive away!! I’d heard of the restaurant before, and was so excited to try it! We ended up loving everything we got, and thought the restaurant and the “conscious corner” were really nice! I had the butternut squash soup with corn bread (highly recommend the corn bread omg!!) and the sweet potato gnocchi. Everything was so tasty and plated so nicely. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were perfect. I only wish I had more room to have dessert and a hot drink because they sounded so good too! Hopefully I’ll be back one day!

Steadily gone down hill - Edit
When I first came to Maryland, I was excited to have vegan restaurant options. The first time I went to Great Sage (in 2012) I was amazed, thrilled, and loved it. I had an amazing meal, with wonderful service, and an overall happy experience. Since then, I typically go every year around my birthday, the food, service, and quality has degraded. While I love the idea of the holistic, all-vegan restaurant, I found the last two times I was there, the food tasted processed, with at least one dish cold (both times), and the service remarkably slow.
Read morePros: All-vegan, so no cross contamination, Artichoke Dip. Still delicious, even after 6 years
Cons: Decline in quality, Price, Lack of consistency

Consistently Excellent Vegan Fare - Edit
We love Great Sage - and despite a 45 minute-plus drive from our home - we come at least once a month for delicious vegan meals. Great Sage is our go-to restaurant for special occasions - birthdays. Anniversaries, hosting VIP travelers, and the like. It is somewhat pricey, but definitely worth it!
Read moreIn our years of eating here, we have NEVER been disappointed with the food or the service.
The menu changes seasonally - so don’t get too stuck loving one dish. We particularly love the Sunday brunch (10am-3pm), which features unbelievably delicious brunch comfort food.
Run, don’t walk, to Great Sage!
Pros: Consistently Delicious , Full Bar, Great Service
Cons: Somewhat distant location
