From when I was not vegan: Mac and cheese is so delicious and the crab cake was delightfully unexpected
As a vegan I go here more than anywhere else

Best vegan soul food you will ever eat. Sides, entrees and desserts are second to none.

Loved this place. As of Feb 26th they’re still not open and have a suspended sign on their door. Bummer their socials don’t indicate this would have saved me an hour trip I made just to eat there.

They were shut down by the health dpt… makes sense because everything has gone down hill. Employees clearly don’t care and not one person who works there is Vegan so no one understands what they are serving and the purpose of the food. This is basically an expensive McDonald’s for vegans. Sad.I feel sorry for anyone who has spent there money here

Used to love this place but they went downhill. Then today I drive all the way there and see they are closed with “suspended” signs on the windows. The only thing worse than getting shut down by the food dept. is not updating your hours and having people come for nothing.

Prices went up and food quality went down. I used to love this place, but I went recently, and the food was not good. They also removed the student discount and rewards program. I will not be returning.
The food was as expected the dining area is cold the chairs were not comfortable the room has the appearance of an institution cafeteria, barren. Navigating from the purchase of food to another room to eat can be a challenge as the door to the dining area pulls open. Their previous location flowed

Never disappoints! I eat from here EVERY TIME I'm in the area of passing through! Hoping for them to open a location in Hampton Roads!

I decided to visit this place yesterday. I had heard about it so I was looking forward to it. The good: The place was nice, the atmosphere was nice, the people were nice.The not so good: Many items missing from the menu. I ended up trying the vegan ribs which were ok...the cabbage was not good at all. Dry and overly crunchy and the taste was part bland part spicy just not good. The Mac and cheese was mid...it had flavor but if you're anywhere near a texture person this probably will not be for you.I'm used to the pricing in vegan spots so there wasn't much sticker shock but when you have to toss anything it hurts a little more. Overall it was ok. I've definitely had better.
