All the food we had over the two days we went was great!If you have allergies, ask for their allergy menu!The chocolate peanut butter cupcake was amazing!!!The buffalo mac-n-cheese was amazing! Also the buffalo fries. The Bibimbap was spicy and yummy. Kids nachos with the quinoa mix was yummy!Free water and unsweet tea.The juices and kombucha were also great.Definitely worth the stop for vegans!Kid-friendliness: 3 items on the kids menu. My older kid picked items off the regular menu.

Going on a trip west, this place was the perfect halfway stop to my destination. By far this was the BEST vegan restaurant. Uses silverware, ceramic plates provide a high quality feel, not to mention the food is extremely high quality, satisfying, and leaves you refreshed no matter what options you choose. I sincerely wish they would "branch out" to major cities like Louisville and Lexington because there is absolutely an unfulfilled market out there and they would bring so much joy and education to people that vegan food can be so delicious!!

Very, very good. The gyro bowl is A+++. My group also ordered the bahn mi bowl and the bibimbap bowl; both were great. Thanks to everyone working there for handling the insanity of the eclipse crowd.

I've lived in Southern Illinois for over ten years and finally made it over to Paducah for lunch at Branch Out during our Spring Break! I had the Hearts of Palm Fish Tacos with a side of Indian Street Fries while my 14yo had the Quinoa Nachos. My 10yo had the mac'n'cheese and ate some fries that my non-vegan husband ordered. ?The tacos were sooo delicious, and my teen absolutely *loved* the nachos so much that he now wants cashew cheese on everything! ? My daughter didn't care for the mac'n'cheese much saying that it was too "spicy". I tried a bite and thought it tasted okay. Not the greatest but decent. If they toned down the garlic/spices and upped the creaminess (like the sauce on the nachos), it would probably be much better/more kid-friendly. Looking at other pictures of the Indian Street Fries on here, mine seem to have been overloaded on the spices and weren't very enjoyable. The regular fries were great, though.We each ordered a dessert to take home and enjoyed everything. The cupcakes and brownie were probably our favorites. I didn't see that they offered milkshakes (as a previous reviewer mentioned), but maybe that's a seasonal offering. They offer several different flavors of donuts every Saturday (several different donut flavors s each month), but we arrived late in the day... and they were all gone. Like most good restaurants, Branch Out changes several dishes on their menu seasonally, so we're all looking forward to another visit this summer.Interior space is beautiful, open, and inviting.Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan and gluten-free.Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten-free and some items are soy-free.Parking: Small parking area; might be difficult to find a spot during busy times.Kid-friendliness: Several dishes and sides which kids should enjoy.

If you HAPPEN to need gluten free or vegan food you may cry walking in this place and realizing you can eat ANYTHING ON THE MENU! If you don't have dietary restrictions you literally won't know the difference. The best baked goods in Western Kentucky and you won't find a better lunch than the Harvest Bowl!

This is some of the best food I’ve had in my entire life, vegan or not! Standouts include the milkshakes (oatmilk soft serve? Amazing!), the hearts of palm “fish” tacos (tastes EXACTLY like a premium fish taco!), and the harvest bowl (tasty flavors that are comforting too); we were really amazed at the premium execution and depth of flavors. It was definitely worth the two hour drive from Owensboro! I will say the Indian fries are tasty but strongly seasoned, which can be off-putting if you’re not used to that sort of seasoning blend.In addition to the amazing food, I found the staff to be professional, kind, and well-informed. The setting was modern while still being comfortable; a pleasant place to be!

Vegetarian options: Menue is actually vegan and gluten freeDietary restrictions: Their vegan and gluten free menue is very good and their food is phenomenal. I have eaten here for years.
We’ve been here several times over he last year and it never disappoints. I had Indian street tacos that were sooooo good. Also got a cupcake and cookie to take home for later. Cupcake made it. Cookie I started in on in the parking lot.The food quality is always so great and you can tell everyone has pride in the business and in what they’re serving. Everything always comes out looking nice and tastes great. My favorite is the buffalo “cheese” fries but I promised myself I would try something new today and it did not disappoint!Dietary restrictions: Always great gluten free options that don’t leave me feeling like I’m missing out on flavor or texture!

Absolutely loved this place! From the very friendly service to the explanation of the menu, to the natural wood interior, and even the greenery that was on the walls inside and outside. The food was absolutely fantastic also. I had the Kapsalon and Indian Soup, and the flavor was astounding. The Kapsalon, as best I can describe it, was french fries on the bottom of a small cast iron pan, with vegan cheese, and vegan chicken bits, covered by lettuce and salady ingredients, pickled onions, and a sauce that was tart and awesome. The Indian soup was a very generous portion for the bowl and the flavor was really great. Everyone at my table loved what they ate including the Indian street tacos, the quinoa nachos, the sweet potato waffle fries, the delicious cupcakes, and the flying embers wild berry hard kombucha was also delicious. I would eat there every day if I could.Vegetarian options: Menu is Vegan with no dairy or meat.Dietary restrictions: All food is gluten free.Kid-friendliness: Highchairs available.
