Located beside the Downtown Sanford Marina, St. John's River Steakhouse & Seafood is known fondly for its beautiful view and ample outdoor patio space. I'd been asked before to do a guide of their vegan options, which, frankly, aren't many.
I recently went in person to ask what their options were and was surprised to find out that many of the items listed on the website/menu as "vegan-friendly" were, in fact, not at all. See example below:
See below for our vegan guide to eating at St. John's River Steakhouse & Seafood:
FROM THE GARDEN
House Salad (order without cheese and croutons)
mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions
Tropical Salad (order without chicken)
mixed greens with mandarin oranges, grape tomatoes, mangoes, pineapple, and candied pecans
Asian Salad (order without shrimp and chow mein noodles)
mixed greens, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, mandarin oranges, almond slivers and a toasted sesame dressing
*ALWAYS CONFIRM VEGAN OPTIONS UPON ORDERING*
