Parking: I was there on a Tuesday around dinner time and there was plenty of street parking .Kid-friendliness: Although I didn't bring any children. It is a loud, fun environment. I believe children would love it.

Not the place that I remember. I returned to town after moving away with this place on my mind. Wow! This place has changed. Not the same vibe, taste or service. How disappointing. I'll give it another shot to verify, but not getting my hopes up.

This is the first vegan restaurant I ever went to in California, and I still keep coming back many years later. It seems like there have been some ups and downs with the food for some reason, but the last few times I've gone there, it keeps getting better and better. They were extremely well stocked with every type of cake: pecan, lemon, coconut, red velvet. Even sweet potato pies. And the service was fantastic.
When they recommend you menu items here, definitely try them. I never would've thought of ordering Dirty Cajun Fries because I "don't like jalapeño" (or so I thought), and they ended up being the best fries ever. The house made dirty sauce was so good that I'm still craving it the next day.
I love their chicken and waffles, too. Or if you're in the mood for a more savory entree, the Country Style Seitan Steak Plate gives a huge portion of food. Everything here is so great.

I've been coming to Souley Vegan since their first year in business, and while it used to be phenomenal, the quality of the food has declined to where I can no longer recommend it to visitors.
* Southern fried tofu used to have a marvelous fried chicken style crust around a seasoned slab of tofu; now is a dense burnt shell around a thin slice of plain tofu
* BBQ tofu used to be big chewy baked hunks; now is small uncooked cubes dunked in sauce (though the sauce is still good)
* Collards used to be unctuous slow cooked melty greens; now are undercooked and gritty
* Macaroni and cheese used to be the best you could buy, thick and toothsome and cheesy; now is a thin sauce overwhelmed by Cajun seasoning

I have been coming here for years, and I'm a fan. I can't say that I have a favorite. All the dishes that I have tried are yummy. Customer service is always on point. I will say that when I host my party, I order my cornbread from here. Love the nachos, greens, mash potatoes, and gator bites. I told you that I'm a fan.
