6/3/2023 – My wife’s friend is vegan and we came here for her birthday. This is my first time eating any vegan food and what can I say, this place is exactly like the name of the restaurant. My wife and I got the Mr. Patty Melt, chicken egg roll, buffalo shrimp, and Tacos. Everything tasted great. I am not able to tell off the meat are real or not if I was to eat it blindly. They are all full of flavor. The one my wife and I was most surprise at was the shrimp, the texture just like a real shrimp. Thanks to the friends for showing this place. We need one restaurant of these in MN. Overall great tasting food, only thing is it is a big expensive, more expensive than your regular type of food, but I’ll try again something different when I’m in town.

Ate here with a bachelorette group because the bride-to-be is a vegetarian, and she was overjoyed to be able to order anything on the menu for once! Restaurant is counter-ordering, and they will bring the food to your table. Half of us got brunch, which I think is only available over the weekend, and the other half got lunch. Everyone loved their food. I ended up trying the brunch meal that had vegan: eggs, cheese (though had option for real cheese), sausage, bacon, and French toast, with potatoes. Also tried some vegan shrimp. The eggs and cheese tasted like the real things! Vegan bacon and sausage were interesting, maybe the seasoning/flavoring as they were slightly sweet. The shrimp were also interesting, not the exact same texture as shrimp but almost had the same flavor. Overall the food was great and we’d definitely go back again if we’re ever in the area!

This spot is pretty good if your in the mood for comfort food. We tried the cheesesteak egg rolls, big milk burger and the buffalo chicken sandwich. Everything was very tasty. The fries are really good too. I do wish they offered tap water because of the wastage caused by plastic water bottles we had to purchase. I’m surprised a vegan restaurant isn’t more eco friendly.

Just go and have yourself a good meal that’s it that’s the review!! No but for real if you are looking for a chill spot where you can have some flavorful vegan food then look no further because this is it. The vibe is relaxed, the staff are super friendly and the food is packed with flavor. I had the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and I’m still dreaming about them. Definitely going to come back and try more things off their menu!

Today was my first time eating from this vegan restaurant. I placed an order online and got the “Cookie Monster” Shake which taste like fuel ⛽️ mixed with chocolate, for health concerns my partner and I decided not to drink the shake after 2-3 sips.. sadly.. since we did not want to risk getting sick ! Also I got the “grilled cheese burger” which did not look appetizing, there was no description about the burger buns being placed upside down, I wish they could have mentioned that on their website . Overall this place is JUST OKAY (taste, quality). Making your own vegan burgers at home would probably be better. !

Craziest breakfast sandwich!!! Two sausage patties, egg, and bacon and cheese on a biscuit. Wild! Love that this restaurant is owned by a Black female Chicagoan too!

I’m a vegan with allergies and was in the area looking for dinner option. I saw this place online and decided to take a look. It was amazing! They are only vegan and will help with allergies. The staff was super nice and I ended up ordering 3 things. The menu has looootssss of options, and I loved the vibe! I will definitely come back next time I’m in the city. (Attached below are pics of the meatless hoagie and bbq vegan wings)

My “cheesesteak” egg rolls were crispy on the outside and a wonderful creamy cheesy-ness on the inside. The fries were fresh and crispy. The waffle breakfast sandwich was a perfect mix of early Sunday morning flavors!! I wish we had this place in Maryland!!
