I am not from this area but my Mom and I were in the area shopping and hungry for some dinner. I googled healthy restaurants in Macomb, MI and The Clean Plate was just around the corner. My mother has been following a plant based diet for 1.5 years because she has heart disease so we were very concerned with her getting the right foods in her, to stay on track with her eating. We were excited to try this restaurant. We both had the creamy Kale soup (cashew base...no dairy) and it was absolutely delicious! We shared two meals....Quesadilla (excellent) and a Thai Pasta Salad (very good too but would have been better warm, in my opinion). For desert we shared a magic bar. This was small and actually perfect for the two of us because all we really wanted was a few bites each. This was a yummy desert. Not sure how healthy it was, but it was clean and thats important to us both. We are sad that this restaurant is an hour away from where we live :-( The staff were very, very nice and also knowledgeable in what ingredients were in their menu items. I read another review on here where someone said it was too pricey. I disagree. Eating clean is more expensive and its also a lot of work to prepare...sometimes you want to take a break. To me, this restaurant was priced very fair, considering what wholesome ingredients were used. My daughter has Celiac...so this is a place I will definitely be driving the distance to get gluten-free and also healthy food. My hat goes off to whoever owns this place...I think its wonderful and by the looks of it tonight (Friday at 6pm) lots of others do too because it quickly filled up in there. This is a place that both my mother and I LOVED (and was worth the money)! ~Linda

Its super awesome that there is a vegan option in this area! If I still lived in that area I would probably eat there every day. It is great that it is next to LifeTime Fitness. I have eaten here several times. I tour and review Vegan restaurants. I would definitely suggest this place if you are in the area looking for vegan food. That being said, it is heftily overpriced and some dishes are a bit bland. Avoid the "sexual chocolates" at all cost (bitter mystery herbs and chocolate). The BBQ-based sandwiches are the best. the apricot-BBQ sauce is top notch. Id give it one more star if it wasnt so unecessarily expensive. Id rather they just focus on cheaper more accesible dishes and economy versions of thier sandwiches and meals.

Im not a vegan or even a vegetarian, but this restaurant is officially one of my favorite spots in metro Detroit. The adzuki bean miso soup is absolutely incredible, their bread is phenomenal, the black bean burger was out of this world, and the coffee is the stuff dreams are made of. The service is superb, with the staff going well out of their way to help guests choose the best options. Ingredients are fresh, delicious, and local, and also listed for every item to make choosing simple. I will definitely be raving about this place to everyone I know. Hands down, one of the best spots in the area.

This is a wonderful casual dining place with fresh, high quality food. The staff is friendly and genuinely enjoys serving customers. There is no wrong choice on the menu - the soups, salads, sandwiches are all fantastic. I love that they use local ingredients. There are gluten free and vegan options and the staff is happy to accommodate. All of the desserts are fantastic, but one of my personal favorites is the Chocolate Avocado pudding. My 1 year old Godson loves it too! I highly recommend the Clean Plate whether you are vegetarian or just up for a meat-free meal.

I LOVE this place- definitely my favorite restaurant in Michigan. My dad and I are regulars here and we keep coming back not only for the delicious healthy vegetarian/ vegan food, but the staff is also extremely polite, friendly, and attentive to their customers. Ive been coming here weekly for about nine months now but I still try something different from the desert, beverage, or entree menu each time because it has such a wide range of options and customizations!

The staff was very welcoming and friendly. They were also very knowledgeable about all of their food options and the ingredients used within each dish. Furthermore, their menu had a variety of dishes and teas. All of the food we tried was delicious. The prices were great too. We will definitely be becoming regulars here. This was the best restaurant we have been to in regards to the quality of both the food and the staff.

The point of food really is to nourish us. Clean Plate does just that with awesome, fresh tasting, healthy choices. There is a lot of attention to detail in helping clients eat for health and balance. I had the cold avocado soup and it was amazing. People close to this restaurant are lucky to have this as an option to all the garbage that is out there.This isnt just food, its a lifestyle.

A bit pricey for what you get, but the quality outweighs that in a heartbeat. The bbq sandwich was to die for, very good flavor in every bite that gave a very fresh taste. Creamy kale soup was a perfect compliment to my meal! Mushroom stroganoff was perfect! Its blended with cashews so the oils and fats give a lot of body to the dish without the buttery taste or feel

Absolutely the best restaurant Ive been to in regards of food and service, I was impressed as soon as I was greated. The employees were very knowledgeable about their food, also were very understanding of dietary restrictions. Great quality ingredients from the drinks to the food and very reasonably priced. I will defiantly be coming back.

There really should be more vegan places around being Americans are so unhealthy. Having The Clean Plate here is very smart thinking on their part and on ours for going in for some food thats actually optimal for human consumption. The farther away the DNA code, like a veggie, from a humans code the better it is for you. <3 science <3

I was a bit let down. There are a variety food combinations on the menu, all come with a steep ticket price. I got the Vegan Reuben. It was okay, but the slaw was quite bland. I was not overly impressed with the service I got. This was my first experience coming here and I do not believe I will be back, unfortunately.

The food is really fresh and good. The staff is awesome. The only reason I only gave it 3 stars is because of the prices. They also charge a fee for using credit or debit. $23 for soup, sandwich and a cookie is steep. Being vegan can make it tough to eat out. The prices here make it tough to eat here more frequently.

Great place. The menu was very unique. We had several plates we shared and they were all delicious. Some may think vegetarian would not be good but these dishes were amazing and they had vegan options for cheese too. The people were friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great experience.
