If your idea of comfort food involves cold-pressed greens instead of gravy, you might assume Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives offers slim pickings. Happily, Guy Fieri has steered the red Camaro to a handful of plant-forward cafés, vegetarian hot spots, and anything-goes grills where fresh-pressed juices sit right alongside the show’s usual indulgences. Whether you’re planning a post-holiday reset or simply hunting for a road-trip stop that respects your juice-cleanse priorities, these featured restaurants pour produce in every shade of the rainbow.
1. Seabirds Kitchen — Costa Mesa, CA

What began as an orange food truck evolved into a stylish, full-service restaurant that’s 100 percent plant-based. Seabirds Kitchen earned its Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives moment by turning local farmers-market finds into creative comfort fare—and that same produce powers an ever-rotating lineup of juices. Expect inventive flavor combos (think fennel-pear or pineapple-jalapeño) that make sticking to your cleanse surprisingly fun.
2. Green Vegetarian Cuisine — San Antonio, TX

San Antonio may be famous for tacos and brisket, but Green Vegetarian Cuisine proves the Alamo City can do wellness, too. The spacious, colorful café—one of the rare fully vegetarian restaurants featured on the show—offers a juice list that runs from simple beet blends to spicy cayenne-kicked cleansers. Order at the counter, grab a sunny table, and recharge before diving back into the River Walk.

3. Sunspot — Knoxville, TN

On Knoxville’s eclectic Cumberland Avenue, Sunspot bills itself as “where tie-dyes and neckties unite,” a vibe that comes through in its flexible menu—plenty for omnivores, yet packed with veg-forward options. The juice bar keeps locals energized with daily blends like citrus-mint and carrot-ginger, all cold-pressed in-house. It’s the perfect pit stop when you want to keep a cleanse rolling without sacrificing Southern hospitality.
4. Veggie Galaxy — Cambridge, MA

Across the river from Boston, Veggie Galaxy channels a 1950s diner—but swaps the usual bacon and eggs for seitan bacon and tofu scrambles. Their fresh-juice program keeps the retro mugs filled with nutrient-dense blends, so you can sip spinach-pineapple or blueberry-kale while parked in a powder-blue vinyl booth. It’s proof you can enjoy diner nostalgia and stick to your juice goals at the same time.
5. City, O’ City — Denver, CO

Open from early-morning coffee to late-night cocktails, City, O’ City helps Denverites power through mile-high living with vegetarian comfort classics and a robust juice lineup. The bartenders-yes, yes, juice bartenders—whir up cleansing blends featuring Colorado beets, local honey, and plenty of leafy greens. Drop in for a liquid pick-me-up before heading out to conquer those nearby hiking trails.
6. R. Thomas Deluxe Grill — Atlanta, GA

Around the clock and under a canopy of tropical plants, R. Thomas Deluxe Grill has been an Atlanta institution since the ’80s—and its 24/7 juice bar was a highlight of its “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” segment. From wheatgrass shots to elaborate beet-citrus concoctions, the menu makes healthy hydration available at any hour. Swing by after a red-eye flight or a late concert and you can still keep your cleanse on course.
