After being a vegetarian for 24 years, the one thing I’ve said I’ve always missed is fried chicken. This place is AMAZING! It impressed even my meat eating husband! A must try for anyone who is vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian!Vegetarian options: EVERYTHING ON THE MENU!Dietary restrictions: Some items may not be gluten free, but it’s all completely meat free!

Small dining area, only about 3 or 4 tables which we did not know until arriving. Good vegan food though! Fried pickles and ranch were great!

Like KFC but without the corporate boot licking or animal cruelty!

My partner and I were truly blown away by our experience today! When we arrived at 11:30 am, we saw a line of eager customers stretching down the block. Clearly this was the place to be on a Sunday afternoon. After an extensive wait (1.5 hours), we had malts in our hands and a paper bag full of chicken, mac and cheese, tater tots, and sauces. The contents of the bag smelled positively heavenly, and we could barely wait to get home to voraciously consume them.We drank the chocolate malt in the car, and we couldn’t get enough of its creamy and decadent texture, along with its coconut-y flavor.When we arrived at home, we immediately dug in. The mac and cheese was sublime— creamy, slightly tangy, and throughly satisfying. The tots were crispy and had a slight kick of spice. The sauces (we chose honey mustard and butcher sauce) were flavorful and so creamy. We couldn’t believe they didn’t contain dairy. Finally, the chicken was the star of the show— perfectly seasoned, extra crunchy, chewy, and juicy.We loved everything and are already planning a followup trip for chicken sandwiches and perhaps a strawberry malt and biscuit.

This place is sooooo misleading on ordering apps I thought I was ordering a bucket of chicken and this is the weirdest stuff I’ve ever seen they are not clear enough it is a vegan place

Visiting from IL and OMG. We got two huge buckets to share with family and almost every sauce. Each was so good in their own way! They nailed it. Even the meat eaters were impressed. That breading and the the texture of the "chicken". NAILED IT. I wish we had one by us. That and the Jinx Ruby Red Punch... heaven.

Wish I would've gotten a picture of my PB&J shake... but it disappeared. Wish the hours were a little more accessible, but the food was so worth the trip.

❤Support your local vegan restaurants!❤ The food here is worth every penny! I recommend ordering ahead online because there's not a lot of space inside but hopefully they'll get bigger location one day!Definitely try the chicken ceasar wrap and the tater tots!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan so its also vegetarian!

The best food I've had since moving to Minnesota 6 months ago. The flavors were amazing, and the price is so reasonable for the quality and volume of food. I'll come here again and again!

I wish I could give this place a million stars!! It’s that good! Even my boyfriend who enjoys meat, cannot get enough of this place! Every worker there is incredibly kind and just great vibes all around. The chicken is so crunchy and tasty. I’ve had good seitan chicken before, but this place blew my mind with how good it was. “Good” doesn’t even do this place justice. If you are vegan/vegetarian, I beg you to try this place! Even if you’re not.. I promise you will love it. I order from here a few times a month! I haven’t tried one of their shakes yet, but I’m looking forward to it!! Also, it’s very filling, which means leftovers! It’s incredibly healthy too. Thank you for being awesome!Parking: Normally plenty of street parking, depending how busy the area is when you come.

the food I encountered there was quite unpleasant in both smell and taste. It's quite concerning that you would even consider serving something that's nearly inedible.

A1, truly GOATED with the sauce Service, Fire Food, Fire My want to go back, max The only vegan chicken I've ever had that came even close, I had to go all the way to DC to try and still doesn't beat here.

I went here with my partner who is a pescatarian. While I'll admit it was not my favorite thing I enjoyed it a fair amount and my partner absolutely loved it. The amount of food is incredibly generous, sauces and tots are absolutely fantastic. The 'chicken' is a bit too dense for me but I think that's kind of the point and I think most people would enjoy it. Definitely worth a try whether you eat meat or not.

This place is awesome. I was very impressed with the quality of the vegan chicken. It's better than KFC or whatever else people like, and it's all vegan! This restaurant should be an inspiration to everyone in the food industry, and I really wish there were places like this where I live. Excellent food. And the man at the register was very friendly. Next time I'm in Minnesota I will return!
