Spirits Pub & Grub in Cary is a pub food kind of place. However, don't let the long list of burgers and meaty sandwiches intimidate...there are some menu items that are vegetarian and even vegan-friendly.
The Veggie Burger, for instance, is made with eggs but could easily be substituted to be vegan if you give the pub a little advance notice.
There are a variety of salads on the menu which could be made vegetarian/vegan without the meat. Vegans should stick to the vinaigrette dressings.
The Mac N Cheese could be a comfort food crowd pleaser for vegetarians and you can order a "Southwest Style" or the Cajun Mac if you leave the sausage off.
There are also sides like the Loaded Nachos, Onion Rings, Hummus Platter (vegan), Spirits Potato Wedgies, Spinach and Artichoke Dip, Chips & Guacamole (vegan), Fried Pickle Chips, Mozarella Sticks (batter made with eggs), Spirits Fried Wedgies (vegan) and Homemade Slaw.
