| - Environment/vibe:
This place gets a lot of business which is great that so many people are a fan of a vegan restaurant. I love the little sign on their table which talks about how eating plant based saves the planet & our health. As soon as you walk in you'll realize the lighting isn't pleasing & decor is super dated. But it was fun to see comic book covers on their wall & the Star Wars & marvel posters. No one is in uniform or has a name tag so it's awkward trying to tell who's a worker or not. It seemed like the hostess was in training (She was asking her coworkers a lot of questions about what to do next) she was so quiet we couldn't hear her, I'm not sure she greeted us. The staff seemed friendly, tried to smile even though they were very busy. My husband went to the restroom & advised me TO NOT GO IN THERE. He said they were super nasty. The tables seem to all be set up to seat 4, again they are dated. We sat right in front of the kitchen & where the staff is all working. I wish they offered booths or more comfortable & quiet seating/chairs.
Food:
I was a little thrown off at first because this place is known for being a vegan restaurant yet they offer regular drinks like any other restaurant as well as regular ketchup which is all made with regular sugar. Which in the US is grinned with bone char..? But okay, we can look past that & just order water.
We ordered two small orange juices. They were just regular orange juice (Tropicana probably), i thought it was going to be something fresh or organic. I ordered the fingers & waffles (Fried "chicken" fingers & waffles with syrup) carrot bacon as my side & a extra biscuit to try. My husband ordered the brunch bowl (home fries, carrot bacon, sausage patty, tofu scramble, cheesy grits, biscuit). I was so excited to try the food! It's what's most important to me as well as service. We asked to keep a menu to look over what else they offered, we planned on coming back for lunch the following day & definitely ordering dessert! We wanted all of the desserts the offered lol. The waffle looked very underwhelming, very thin, but it was the most delicious vegan waffle I've ever had! So buttery & soft, delicious! The fried tofu scramble was probably the most unpleasing thing I've ever tried.... I tried SO hard to like it. Chicken & waffles was one of my favorite things to eat before going vegan. I took several bites, added more syrup, tried to sandwich the bite in between the waffle.... still nasty. Had a hint of fishy taste to it which is stomach turning when trying to eat something sweet & savory like chicken & waffles. I should've stopped eating it once I took the first bite because I ended up feeling a little nauseous...
The biscuit was flavorless & dry, dry dry, not regular biscuit dry which is kinda what's nice about them. I put some jam on it & it was very tasty. It was like a guava or pineapple apple jam. I would definitely eat it like that again.
I tried a bit of everything from my husbands bowl & the scramble definitely needed more seasoning, the carrot bacon was good but more like carrot chip crumbs, the cheese grits were surprisingly very good & usually neither of us are a fan of grits, the sausage patty was very flavorful! We ate, were never checked on, & my side was never brought out. Once we were checked on I just asked for the check & told the kind lady (not our waitress) my side of carrot bacon was never brought out but I no longer wanted it & just wanted the check. She apologized. Our waitress then came out with the bacon & said "I'm sorry about that" & we said thank you but we no longer wanted it. She took it back. It was disappointing. We got our check... still charged for the extra biscuit $1.50 which in my opinion should've been taken off since they forgot my side. I didn't argue it because we just wanted to get out of there by that point.
We didn't order dessert because the tofu chicken made us both lose our appetite & the service was just ok.
Overall:
My husband said he liked his food but my chicken fingers were the nastiest thing. The food was okay, service was okay, the decor & setting was not good. If my husband insisted on trying them again I probably would only get take out if I did go again.
