Everything was great. I had the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls & a Mango Peach Lemonade.

This place is incredible! I think literally everything on the menu can be made vegan even if it originally comes with dairy cheese. My partner got the cheese pizza, and it was so incredibly good and hit the spot. Does strawberry milkshake was insane – I cannot believe how good it was, the non-dairy ice cream they used was outstanding. Literally everything we tried was amazing and I can’t imagine that there’s anything on their menu that isn’t. I really feel like this place could trick any meat eater with how good their stuff is!

Kudos for plant based wings! Ordered via Uber-eats, the wings and fries are still crispy despite being cold. Both wings and fries are delicious but over salted. Would give 5 stars but I cannot get over how tiny the portion is! Fries are smaller than McDonald kids meal fries, and only come with 6 “nuggets”, and all this for $14.99+tax. Would only recommend them if they have a deal going on.

I have been eating vegetarian food my entire life and this was by far some of the best I’ve ever had. The meat was not too greasy or attempting to mimic real meat, yet had a very flavorful taste to it. I was extremely impressed with the staff as they were extremely helpful and friendly. They have wonderful recommendations and provided excellent information about the restaurant and it’s offering. I got the loaded fries because I wanted to taste the freshness of their veggies and I was thoroughly impressed. Please give this place a try, whether you are vegetarian or not, the food will still blow your mind.

Amazing food and friendly service. As the name states, you can’t believe it isn’t meat!! And the shakes were like dairy handdipped shakes. I had the chicken Philly and a strawberry shake

Great tasting vegan comfort food at a great price. I gave a 4 star atmosphere because I wish the kitchen vent system was improved. After eating my delicious food inside, my clothes were smelling like food for a long time and unfortunately that’s one of my pet peeves. Other than that, great great place.

Annnnnndd another one! Let me say this, being from the south, black owned restaurants are in abundance but being a black owned restaurant that is known for great food, AND customer service is extremely hard to come by. While on our Chicago tour my mom and I visited this location in Hyde park. We we greeted by Nyjiel and he was the absolute sweetest! He made sure to explain the menu and answer any of our questions and even went out of his way to let us try the strawberry shake and the Buffalo chicken egg rolls on the house! Believe the name because everything we tried tasted like it contained animal meat but NOPE! They have the secret gem to vegan/vegetarian food on lock. Nothing was without flavor and hands down the best meatless spot I’ve ever eaten at. Thanks again for the hospitality we were shown. I can’t wait to get back to this spot soon!

I had the nachos today. They were favorable and good. A little too salty, overall I was pleased. Yes, it was my first time trying vegan food. I will definitely come back for more.
