Outstanding burgers and bowls. Service was fast and staff was very polite. Mammoth Burger was prepared perfectly and the Eleburger was one of the best burgers I've had. Cauliflower bowl was fresh and very flavorful. Will visit again and again.

My fiance’ and I have been vegan for 8 years and this is one of the best vegan restaurant we’ve tried! Classics but just made vegan! the staff was super friendly and informative! And I love the atmosphere. So glad we decided to stop here for lunch. Will definitely be back everytime we’re in town! 🌱

One of the best vegan burgers I've ever had, at an unbeatable price! Not being a local made me wish I had this restaurant back home. The service was also very quick and the store was very clean. Will definitely be stopping by here again next time I'm in the area!

I stopped here when I was in Chicago for work right around Thanksgiving. Y'all! I was so hungry! It's hard to find a plant-based restaurant that's convenient. I was thankful for the kindness of the employee walking me through the menu in order for me to make a good pick. I settled on sweet potato fries and a sandwich...delicious! I wasn't overstuffed and was full. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and clean. Check them out if you're in the area! My only issue, parking is not the best. There is a parking garage across the street.
