Great food, great service. My favorites from my most recent visit are the BBQ Chik’n Mac and Cheese and the Sweet Heat Chili Over Rice, for which the cornbread is the perfect accompaniment.

We ordered via Uber-eats, therefore I cannot rate service not atmosphere.

Freakin’ Vegan has amazing food for all! We just went, as they are having a soft opening, and we are so glad we did. The new menu items are sooo good. We went with non-vegan friends, and they could not stop raving about the food. They already asked when we should go back to try more. It is a great takeout spot! Kurt, the owner, is so nice, and he and his lovely wife prepared our large order with great customer service and attention to detail. His recipes are amazing and we really want him to bottle his BBQ sauce for sale. They are still getting everything ready, so patience goes a long way. We are always happy to support a small local and vegan business and excited to see when they are fully open. Go check it out – It will be the best decision you make today!

It takes a lot for me to rate something with 5 stars. I have been vegetarian for 16 years, finding a place that’s whole menu is Vegan is awesome, wish someone did it sooner, but it was overwhelming having so many options that all sound delicious. Luckily I ordered in store and when I had questions, the owner was right there to answer them all, which helped me make a decision. I chose the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich because the owner explained to me how they make their own Seitan, and thinly slice it, then slightly sear it during the process of cooking the ingredients for the sandwich, which created a much more pleasant mouth feel than some other restaurants that toss chunks of rubbery seitan on their vegan options. I’m not Vegan, and still do eat real cheese so I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by the vegan cheese used on this sandwich but to my surprise, while I definitely notice the difference, mainly in its texture… it was about the closest I’ve ever had to MELTED vegan cheese, and works well with the texture and flavor of their thinly sliced seitan. I ate half the sandwich without adding hot sauce, and it’s seasoned perfectly… I just like my food spicy so added a bit on the second half and it was even better… but I could eat it as is, all the time, without complaining. The roll it came on was fresh, and upon unwrapping the sandwich it was not soggy, which I was happy about. I don’t know what they cook the ingredients in, but they didn’t taste or feel greasy… they were light and airy which I also enjoyed, but that didn’t prevent the sandwich from being appropriately sized and filling. Ate the entire thing, enjoyed every bite. I’d like to get this with fries one day.. all that said, it was nice to finally be able to enjoy seitan, Freakin Vegan gets it right…. looking forward to trying the Italian Sub next, and the FV burger since that was likely the best priced vegan burger in all of Bergen County, NJ. The music playing inside was absolutely the kind of stuff we’d listen to outside of the atmosphere there, the owner was very friendly and professional in his appearance… the place was immaculate and lit well… parking was very easy, and we will be back! Tell your friends, if you’re vegan or vegetarian – this place has something for everybody and I’m sure they’ll have even more exciting menu options in the future. Right across the street from Wholefoods in Ridgewood, go get some

We love to grab empanadas at the farmers market from Freakin Vegan and chat with the owner who is super friendly and patient. We’re so excited about the new Ridgewood spot. Been twice here so far and it is truly delicious. Highly recommend the Philly, the bbq cheesy waffle fry sandwich, cole slaw, empanadas, and desserts when they have them available!

I have been wanting to try this spot for so long and I finally got the chance. I called in my order of the chic’ken cutlet sandwich and yes it’s 100% vegan. When I arrived I parked locally on the street. I walked in and a man that was cutting up food asked if he could help. I told him my name and he said a few more minutes. My food came out about 3 minutes later. I paid a little over $17 and left. When I got home I dug in. The sandwich was huge. It had a good taste to it as well. I definitely would like to try more things at this restaurant.

We love the cheese steaks here! Today I stopped by and I have a new love. Their mushroom empanadas are like the mushroom soup I loved as a kid in portable form. Caramelized onions, chunky mushrooms, they’re a real comfort umami bomb.

This place is now a definitely a favorite. We were iffy in between from the experience from last night from another restaurant. And we’re also in love with the one we had reviewed before but this definitely takes the cake. Meatball sandwich, mac & cheese and empanadas is definitely a win. Especially if it’s all vegan. The store owner is very friendly and caring about his customers he was very friendly to me and offered a lot of insight and other places especially because I’m a new vegan. I highly recommend this place make sure you give him his business he definitely deserves it. Don’t take my word for it come try it yourself.
