I'm so glad that my veganism gives me a huge incentive to avoid restaurants as much as possible.
I'm so uncomfortable with the thought of employees fucking up my order or restaurants being untrustworthy that I've gotten nicely adapted to cooking at home 99% of the time. It’s healthier, it’s cheaper, and it encourages you to learn how to cook.
Hell, I don't even like going to exclusively vegan restaurants at this point because there are quite a few brands that eschew animal products which I'm still not comfortable with for personal reasons, such as Beyond, Daiya, Impossible, and MorningStar. I know that a lot of plant-based restaurants still incorporate these products in their dishes.
Some will say the brand name, but some do not. For example, you might see a menu item that simply says "Plant-Based Burger", but it doesn't tell you what brand the patty comes from or if it's homemade or what not, and oftentimes, my socially awkward ass doesn’t feel like pestering the staff to find out.
Honestly, outside of name brands they're not particularly untrustworthy, the employees are usually really chill, and its nice to socialize in public some, but it is 100,000% healthier and cheaper to cook and eat at home, so makes sense to do so for 90%+ of meals
