| - Summary in one sentence - big proportions, just okay taste.
Bias here because I'm vegan and vegan junkfood can be scarce since I don't live downtown. From a more objective standpoint, the food is okay. If you come in with low expectations, you'll like the food. If you're expecting an amazing burger, you'll be disappointed.
To begin, the Hogtown Vegan is fairly costly, but I think the proportions somewhat justify the cost. When eating out, I can stuff myself silly, but I normally can't go beyond a side and entree here.
While you'll definitely be full with just about anything you order, I think the taste can definitely be improved. None of the foods are really "healthy" - even though they're vegan. With all the excess vegan cheese, sauces, and meat substitutes, dishes often taste underwhelming and require more spices and seasoning. I've been here a couple times, and the philly cheese steak is always soggy because the excessive cheese drips under the bread. I get that it's a philly cheese steak and more cheese is a good thing, but that shouldn't make the bread taste like a wet sponge. Try to order different things on the menu, some are good, others are just passable.
Overall, their desserts are pretty disappointing. The funnel cake wasn't really funnel cake at all. Way over fried to the point where it was just cinnamon dough crumbs and ice cream. First time I went I had a coconut cookie and I have to say that was the hardest cookie in my life, also pretty bland.
