Eat slowly and take some of the meal home (the food is amazing no matter what you order - and cruelty-free of course!) because you should leave enough room for the vegan cheezecake. Delicious!!!

Madeline Gullett

The twister wrap is my fav! It's a great restaurant for vegans and vegetarians and it's in a great area to walk around. But be careful, the food and vegan desserts are crazy good so you might get fat

Amy Graff

Airy outpost of the indomitable vegan chain. Try the sweet potato fries , incredible ranch, and portabella sausage burger . Great patio and even better seasonal specials . Sign up for cooking classes !

Sarah

WOW. Absolutely amazing. The BBQ "chicken " salad was super tasty and filling. They have a huge selection of desserts as well , including a peanut butter brownie that was awesome.

Kristen K

Amazing healthy selection ! Some fun unique flavors & generous portion sizes. Vegan everything = dairy-free girl's heaven. The "Soul Bowl " was kind of rich with the BBQ & "ranch" dressings but not bad!

Kevin Dulin

This is a R&D kitchen so lots of new things to try. The Chicken Club was delicious and the sweet potato fries with chipotle sauce is so so so good.

Dana Tedesco

I prefer seitan over tempeh , but that's just me. Everything is good here (a little pricey ) & worth a try for "new" vegan explorers. Desserts are very Sweet, but Delicious!

DailyCandy

"Order Tanya Petrovna’s meatless dishes at the counter while you scope out a booth . Sink your teeth into the portobello and seitan sausage burger served with caramelized onion and pumpkin seed pesto ."

Ganesh Rao

Get the chicken and waffles , it's savory and delicious. Also get the Crispy Thai chili-cilantro chicken wings . And some chocolates

Serious Eats

Italian Meatball Sub : The meatballs—made from Native Foods's sausage seitan—are juicy and deliciously seasoned, with a hot-paprika kick.

Rebecca Rickert

Vegan everything !!! Korean bbq sub , taco salad , sesame "chicken " bites and watermelon fresca !!

Colin Reed

While everything is delicious, the chili w/ cornbread is exceptionally good, and an exceptional value. Plus the entire staff is wonderfully friendly !

Emily Canibano

Love this place but the tempeh appetizer was like cold mush the curry bowl and sauce were blah, the three tacos best attribute wasthe guacamole . Go with sandwiches they rock and the chimichop salad .

Lauren Kelly

Crispy twisted twister wrap ! Yummm and sweet potato fries are amazing! I like to dip them in their vegan blue cheese dressing

Louis Price

Wonderful vegan or vegetarian food , friendly service . You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the food and selection. Really

Redeye Chicago

Chicken wings ($6.95) here are made with a blend of soy, wheat, and pea proteins, then fried to a light crisp that keeps them from feeling too much like health food. Read more

Michelle Spangler

Do not miss their wondrous array of fresh, tasty drinks (lavender lemonade , watermelon agua fresca , iced teas , etc.)

Leah ???? Schwartz

Indo noodle salad is Amazing... wish I could have ordered everything! Very friendly wait staff .

Ariel Welch

I haven't had a thing I didn't like! Also love the coupons and the service is always phenomenal.

Sarah Mcleod

Delicious vegan cafe . Huge menu. Oklahoma "bacon cheeseburger " was ridiculously good and perfectly messy. I can't wait to eat there again.

Jonathan Ferrera

Excellent vegetarian food in meals you hardly see elsewhere in town .

Alvaro G

Awesome vegan fast food restaurant . You need to check this place out! Try the watermelon fresca drink.

Maya Jimenez ????

Huge portions but a great vegan spot.

Andrea Henk

Really friendly here! Great not just for vegans or vegetarians but also with a gluten and/or dairy intolerance like me!

Felice O.

Soul Bowl if you're hungry! The Native Fries with a side of Chipotle and the Oklahoma Bacon Cheeseburger if you're starving!

Nicole Larkin

They have lemon and mint you can put in your water for a refreshing (free) beverage to accompany your extra-nummy meal.

Stephanie Grasti

Good food - chicken ranch , chili . GREAT food chicken avocado wrap and cornbread ! #veganfood #crueltyfree

Olga Gonzalez

So amazing! Wish I could have it for breakfast , lunch and dinner . Get the kale salad !

Laura McSlizz

Service is very friendly . Buffalo wings and soul bowl are great!

Manoj Ambalavanan

Awesome and delish vegan options - taste almost like the real deal!

Steven Stojak

Definitely healthy and delicious, but handlebar on North is better for vegan/vegetarian food, and a bit cheaper! Native is great, but not my favorite.

heycasey

The Bangkok Curry bowl is quite uninteresting. I'm a much bigger fan of the Twister Wrap & Chicken Run Ranch .

Andrew Washington

My first time her O My God explains every thing her and I also like how everything is fresh

Kevin Mcghee Jr

Tho this is a vegan restaurant very tasty food. Better than I expected and healthy

Aubre

Great place for healthy fast food . Try the watermelon Fresca !

Carolina Mariana Rodriguez

Unimpressed with the Greek bowl. But the sweet potato fries and lavender lemonade are divine. Chicago Dip is wonderfully spicy !

Rachel Rusnak

Just as delightful as the NFC in California! The Azteca salad is my absolute fav.

Hendy

This place is delicious. Not a vegan but LOVE. Recommend the Gyro bowl.

John

Port burger is tough to beat. But a nice small salad and the chx wings are tasty too.

Joseph B.

I like meats, but this stuff is pretty tasty too.

Colin Sharpe

Make sure to sign up for a rewards card. The emails tell you when they have cooking demos - which are amazing

Ashleigh T

The lavender lemonade is like drinking springtime. But the removal of the rose cardamon cupcake from the menu is the disappointment of the decade.

Staci Cousert

Mix the watermelon and lemonade drinks! Awesome paired with Chicken Ranch Burger !!!

Grace Kenney

The African peanut soup is so savory. Stand alone its excellent too!

Meggie Oneill

Can't go wrong with the African peanut soup and the soul bowl ! Meatball is mighty tasty as.

Anamaria Hernandez

Scorpion burger is delicious!

Christopher Kusek

You really must try the wings . They're unique on their own and the buffalo sauce is a total win.

Stephen J

Very good vegan . Like oddly a better fake chicken wrap than a real one.

Jedediah Taylor

Azteca Salad and the fresh juice ! You'll walk out feeling energized! Look at these muscles !

Darcy DeLong

Yum. Yum. Yumyumyum! Omgosh. Lavender lemonade ?! Kale bowl?! I just died. So good.
