Great food, reasonable prices. Albeit a bit higher than the Google listing. Delicious food though, bit awkward of an area, it's directly across from a BBQ place so if that bothers you, make sure to eat elsewhere once you pick up your food.
A lot of options, pricing on google needs to be updated. Cute sitting spots out front and next to omnivore bbq spot.
Fully vegan food truck located in the parking lot of a non-vegan BBQ joint, which worked out great for our “mixed” family of vegans and non-vegans. I got the BBQ rib platter and my son got the jerk chicken and steak. Prices were very reasonable. Wasn’t expecting to find a vegan place in McDonough while in town for a baseball tournament but I’m glad we found this place. Hoping we play there again so I can go back!

We had an absolutely delicious lunch from The Vegan Side of Things. My husband ordered the ribs with three sides and I ordered the moxtails with two sides. The highlights were probably the sides, although our mains were also excellent. The moxtail dish was basically a mushroom and vegetable stew. It didn't try to mimic the texture or look of oxtails, which was fine with me. It was a very flavorful stew and I would definitely recommend it. As for sides, my favorites were the baked beans, the mac and cheese, and the fried oyster mushrooms. We also got a sweet tea with mint, lemon, and pineapple, which was very good. We had originally intended to order online, but the site kept saying it wasn't taking orders, so we just ordered in person. It took less than 15 minutes between ordering and getting our food. We took our food to a park because it's not a very pleasant area to sit. There was a very smoky barbecue from the rib shack in the parking lot, and the food truck runs on a very loud generator. They had music playing loudly to mask the generator noise. I will definitely go back next time I'm in the area!
I recommend that everyone try the mac & cheese and the oyster mushrooms, the customer service is great, prices are affordable, it is a must that I eat here when I’m in the area.
A two-star because service I asked for Mac they gave me mushroom and when I said the order was wrong they was going to make me pay for the mac and cheese which I already had got a side order of fried oyster mushrooms why would I do that

My husband found this place and we decided to give it a try. It’s like a little gem and we were very satisfied with our food.
Let’s get into it.
My daughter and I got the Philly cheese steak. Definitely 10/10 for both of us. I don’t know what you are seasoning that beyond meat with, but keep doing what you’re doing sir. 👌🏾
Hubby got the Quesadilla and sweet potato fries. 10/10 from him as well. We tasted the flavor as soon as we bit into it.
The portion size on fries for the amount spent was small. I felt like I ate the fries before completing the sandwich.
Also, there could have been more cheese on the philly due to the overall size of the sandwich. You definitely get your money’s worth with the Philly though. It was very full.
It was a bit difficult placing the order because the music was a bit loud. The young lady taking the order was very professional and made sure the order was received correctly.
No place is perfect, but these are the things I noticed and hope to see improve. All in all, I DEFINITELY recommend. I love to see my people doing their thing in love. Again, we enjoyed every bite and will be back sooner than later. Finally, we don't have to travel all the way to Atlanta to get some good tasty vegan food!
May God continue to bless you and your business.

I typically don’t leave reviews for this but i think feed back is importantly. Customer service wasn’t really present, didn’t get a greeting. Almost seem uninterested in my presence. Toss the food out i left. No real bigger but better energy from people taking money to put food in my body would make me feel more at ease about the food. Soul roll was ok. But dry and greasy at the same time not sure how but yes. The spring rolls were nothing more than some freezer section rolls. No frills there, however the oyster mushrooms were seasoned and fried beautifully but the taco presentation was lack luster and the mushrooms was the main and only real feature of the taco. I may definitely come back for the mushroom. Issues here aren’t hard to fix wasn’t a horrific experience but for $30 on comfort food i need at minimum a please experience so i can focus on the food without bias.

The most flavorful vegan food I've had in a very very long time!! I can feel the love that was put into each item prepared. The cabbage & mac n cheese were amazing!! Oyster mushrooms were seasoned to perfection, no sauce needed at all.

I’ve gotten the moxtails both times I went and they were phenomenal both times. Everything mesh so well together and it’s packed full of flavor. The baked beans has to be some of the best baked beans I’ve ever had. 10/10 I would def recommend even if you’re not plant based or vegan.
Parking: It’s a small parking lot but def big enough for the volume he gets.

The food was absolutely amazing. I've been skeptical about going vegan, but if everything is this delicious, I won't have a problem. Keep up the good work.

The food was seriously some of the most incredible vegan food. Best vegan mac I have ever had. My grandma is raving about coming back. I am in towm for a visit, so I get to look forward to coming back in a few months. I'm glad to have found somewhere nearby with delicious vegan food. I couldn't have cooked myself anything I would have liked more, and that is saying something as I am a very picky eater.

The food is so flavorful! I tried a few of the sides and they were delicious. I wish had bought more food to take home but the next time I’m visiting GA, I will order the entire menu. Get the chickpeas and quinoa because they are amazing!
