What User doesn't like about Strawberry Tree:
I tried the vegan jackfruit burger, which was decent. I was expecting the jackfruit to be spicy. I appreciated that they had a vegan option, but it was a bit pricey and not very impressive. I would probably just stick to ordering the chips if I were to return. View all feedback. What User likes about Strawberry Tree:
The staff at this restaurant is incredibly friendly. I had an amazing vegan burger with wedges! While it is mostly known for its meat and seafood options, the burger was surprisingly great. There is live music always playing, creating a great atmosphere. View all feedback.

I recently had one of the best meals featuring jackfruit as the main meat option.

I think they're trying to be vegan friendly, what is commendable, but the description on their menu didn't agree what was served. I have the filled butternut qu...

Great atmosphere, check for live music. They are trying to expand menu to offer more vegan options.
