The menus were in bad shape (the lamination was degraded) and they were dirty, as was the floor of the restaurant. It was very dark inside because of the black walls and floor. My friend wanted to leave but I convinced her to stay since It was an all Vegan restaurant (and I always want to support those). There were quite a few things that sounded good on the menu. I asked what the most popular thing was and was told the Lions Maine Unchick Sandwich (it comes with a side salad). So we both ordered that and an order of Sweet Potato fries. He asked if I wanted water but didn’t tell me he was talking about bottled water. The tap water in this town is delicious and I don’t support plastic bottle use. I wondered why my $12 sandwich cost $14 plus change until he brought me the bottled water. I asked for my sandwich “to go” because I had planned to save half for later (that didn’t happen). I was thrilled that the take out container was a paper box. I was nervous that the fried mushrooms would be greasy, but they weren’t at all. They were on a very fresh potato roll with lettuce tomato and a generous helping of the most delicious mustard sauce I’ve ever had. It was a bit messy but worth it! The side salad was dressed with the same sauce. I wasn’t mad at it. The sweet potato fries were homemade and delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The one order was the perfect amount to share $6. The texture of the Lions Mane was so reminiscent of chicken I was feeling guilty eating it! Needless to say, I ate the entire thing. I definitely recommend and would go back to try something else.

Oh my goodness the food was awesome. I was little hesitant on how the meal (Chicken sandwich (Oyster mushroom), sweet potato fries w/ salad) was going to taste. But once my food came out it was fresh hot and hit the spot. I didn’t even wait til I got to the car. I crashed my food right there on the spot. And the customer service was phenomenal.

Warm welcome from the beginning! Kissie explained the items on the menu in detail! Food was delicious, desert looks delicious. We had the Lions mane and po boy shrimp sandwhich and BLT. We took the dessert with us. Explained the other half of the business is a sober bar (serves Non- alcoholic beers etc). That's very uplifting to us! We need more places like this!

This was my first dining experience. I ordered takeout. Unfortunately EVERYTHING was salty! The breading on the lion's main mushroom nuggets and vegan chicken was under cooked/gummy in many areas. The Philly cheese noegg rolls had a good flavor, but w-a-y too salty. So much so that, for me, it was ineatable. Although the food was packaged well, it was in the wrong containers - plastic. The steam from the hot food made everything soggy and unappealing. Why frozen fries?! The fries should be fresh! It felt like a lot of processed food, not fresh.

First time here and very impressed. Street parking is free, staff knowledgeable and friendly. After getting input from staff, I ordered the mushroom soup and Crab Cake sandwich (served with house salad), and I’m very happy that I did. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. The atmosphere is nice as well.

Love the atmosphere.i had the Lion’s Mane Crab cake . It was pretty good just a tab bit too much seasoning , and could’ve been fried a little longer. The salad was AWESOME !!!! It contained SEEDED GRAPES ?? . That was a win for me . I LOVE IT THERE !!! Can’t wait to come back and try the sweet potato jacks .

We drove from Richmond VA to Beyond vegan cell food to find a hand written signed posted on the front door saying they closed at 5pm. We arrived 5:50pm. Poor business practices, especially when there was nothing on their website mentioning an early closing.Black-Owned Business please be better!6-1-2024

Ordered the vegan burger with banana chips, along with a grilled veggie wrap. Sandwiches come with a delicious little side salad. We shared a Bahama Mama smoothie, which was very good, too. Nice atmosphere to dine in. Staff was kind and answered questions. Service was a little slow, but well worth the wait. We enjoyed our lunch and plan to return. ?
