I went for the first time today. The customer service was great and the two people I encountered were really kind. Thank you
The Mac n cheese, greens, yams and cornbread was different. I can't say it was great but certainly not bad. Overall, I think the staff and food are good. 3 stars only bc the building is super old and the presentation of the food was underwhelming.
My best friend is a vegetarian so I surprised her with this find and it was DELICIOUS! The tofu and greens were OUTSTANDING! I wish they had more drink options than the juice bar, but everything else was perfect!! ❤
I've never eaten anything here that tasted good. The mac and cheese is a big no for me. The second and last time I came here, it took the server until I was almost done eating to bring me BBQ sauce for my food and straws for my and my friend's water. The staff and patrons all seem to be friendly, which is cool, but I come to a restaurant for quality food and service not to make friends.
This restaurant is open on Saturdays . Vegan comfort food that is so delicious! The Mac and cheese is out of this world! Staff is very friendly and atmosphere is comfortable. Service is cafeteria-style with a choice from two entrees and several sides. Portions are very generous. Our family will definitely return!
The food was very good. My concern is that for two buffet lunch trays one extra side and two deserts we were charged $49.79. There were no clear prices posted that we saw and we checked the menu on line afterwards the prices were no where near what they charged us, it appears we were over charged around $20.00 . The prices as they appear ,those I could see are $10.00 per plate and $4.00 per side. According to the price list that's two plates 10 ×2= $20.00 and 3 sides × $4.00 =$12.00 . $20.00 + $12.00 = 32.00. This doesn't includes drinks and water servers was basically none.
My review is buyers beware!
Pros: The Food, Polite Staff, Sanitary Restrooms
Cons: Everything Else
The food was pretty good, especially if you are vegan and want to experience soul food. However, it felt very difficult to receive customer service. We weren't given water for a while until we asked, we weren't ever given refills, and we never saw anyone again to ask for assistance during our meal. Additionally, we weren't helped at all with the menu or dining procedures specific to the restaurant, which was not an "order at the table" place. We are used to much more helpful and welcoming service at vegan restaurants.
Super duper soul food made by very friendly folks. We've been going here for years.
This is the more casual location with a buffet; their second location downtown is more of a sit-down, cozy place with slightly different food. They are both well worth visiting for vegans and vegetarians. Just thinking about it makes me hungry
When I walked in for lunch there was a bit of a line and none of the staff appeared to be helping anyone. I stepped up to ask an employee about it and he responded that we were waiting on more food to come out. As I did that another customer quipped at me that there was a line as if I hadn't noticed. I quickly responded that I was only curious about the menu and what the wait was about. She continued to take out her frustrations on me, another customer. I remained calm and let her do her thing.
The food came out shortly after and the line started moving. When it was time to check out the employee who stood by while the other customer harassed me darted over. He said he appreciated me staying calm and not lashing back at her or him and he took 20% off my tab. His gesture is what made the experience better for me.
The food wasn't what I was expecting from my experiences at another one of their locations and threw me for a loop, but it was still okay.
I reckon the other location may be better.Very confusing layout for a first time visitorNo greeters, signs, so you have to figure everything out as you go. Not great for an introvert like myself. :( We got in line behind a couple already ordering to see how the process would work. There were only 2 protein and 2 side options. I opted for the cauliflower and Mac n cheese.Both were extremely tasty. However, extremely lukewarm. The flavors were all there..but the temperatures were definitely not where they needed to be to enjoy the food the way I wanted. I had no idea how payment worked, so as I was about to sit down and start eating, one of the ladies calls for us to come pay. It was just weird Not sure if I would come back to this locationthey seem to not care much, although my food was $9 and some change, the service was lacking. Not sure how they're staying afloat with the current operations
The food here is great and the staff are friendly. It's a great place to get delicious vegetarian meals at a reasonable price. The vegan macaroni and cheese is to die for!
Great food! Super slow service. Possibly the slowest in the West End. Do not come here in a rush.
Expensive but Worth it !!
I got the Soul Vegetarian Restaurant with tofu and it was amazing it tasted so so good I would recommend it 100% I also got a chi latte which was also good. My total came out to about 20$ which may seem like a lot but I mean it's a healthy meal ! The Soul Vegetarian Restaurant is very small so good luck if you're trying to sit although i did manage to get a table. Definitely will come back.
Came to treat my boyfriend out to eat this passing Saturday with extremely high hope. Upon entering I found the restaurant fairly appealing but confusing since there was no sign telling us whether to wait to be seated or sit ourselves so we stood there for about 4 minutes until we figured we'd sit ourselves. We didn't see any menus but saw a line where a woman was serving food. we got into the line to choose our plate, the food was not as appealing. The broccoli was browning a bit and there weren't many options. The lady told me since I chose an all veggie plate that I'd get the choice of a salad or corn bread. I chose the corn bread and never received it. Apparently after twenty minutes of waiting for it, it wasn't cooked yet and had waited for napkins also during the twenty minutes which she said she'd bring to the table. Mac and cheese was bland. Rice and gravy was bland. Saw a table being brought veggie burgers and was sad to not be told there was a menu I could order off of. I see excellent reviews and it hurts that I cannot state the same. Bland food, terrible service.
