Vegetarian BBQ Options!
BBQ joint with BBQ Tofu Steak and a few vegetarian sandwiches as well. They just added a mushroom "steak" as well.
Enjoy the atmosphere of the 40's and 50's. Tap your toes to the music of the big band era.
The wait staff knows the ingredients of everything on the menu.

I went to Sticky Lips with a few (non-vegetarian) friends. I thought it would be a good option since my friends were not so keen on eating at a strictly vegetarian restaurant, but at the same time there was a separate vegetarian menu and I was intrigued by the idea of vegan BBQ. The food was fairly mediocre. I had BBQ tofu with some vegetable sides, and the tofu did not seem to absorb any of the flavor of the BBQ sauce. My friends were equally dissatisfied with their meals.
There were a few other vegetarian options on the menu which I did not get a chance to try (one of the menu items was even labeled "vegan," although it is possible to get other items made vegan as well). One caveat: I was reading the ingredient lists on the BBQ sauce bottles at our table and only about half of them were vegetarian (the others contain worcestershire sauce, which is made with anchovies).
Overall, I think Sticky Lips was a neat place to try once (the waitstaff was very friendly and fast and the decor was interesting - lots of old newspaper articles from the 40s and 50s covering the walls), but I'm not sure that I would go back there again.

I crave the veggie meatloaf every other day!
Stick with that and you'll be good, the tofu products are a bit lacking in taste!
