I got the unchicken lionsmane sandwich and it was SO good!! The bun was delish, toppings were carefully placed and overall it was just a great sandwich experience. It came with a nice side salad. I also got the banana fries and a “flu shot” juice. Everything was great. (It would be nice to have a sauce other than ketchup for the fries... I didn’t ask so maybe that’s already available?) The atmosphere is really cozy and artfully decorated. The staff was accommodating to my needs. Great experience.

I keep coming back here. The food they make is super unique and I always feel good after eating it. Everything is seasoned so well. I loved the beets and truffle salad and all of their vegan chicken that they use different mushrooms for. Nothing is overly breaded. It is all made so well and the prices are super reasonable.

I love beyond vegan. I love the lions mane sandwich but as of late I’ve been getting the soups. Great on a cold day. My favorite is the navy bean soup but you can’t go wrong with the mushroom or gumbo. Today i got the gumbo soup with an avocado sea moss salad. Both were delicious.

My wife and had lunch here for the first time. The vegan gumbo was amazing! The chicken and waffle was very good. I am partial to a sweeter syrup. The batter could use more seasoning. The garbanzo beans omelette was very tasty as well. I can't wait to return to try some other menu items however I will have the gumbo again.

The murals on the walls alone warrant a visit to this magical restaurant. However it was the vegan cuisine that brought me there and it was worth the trip. I have a recently diagnosed Alpha-gal allergy ( look it up) and have been afraid to eat while traveling the past two weeks. So I arrived hungry!!! The totally clean kitchen is free of animal products and I could eat everything on the menu. The food was delicious . I had vegan “crab” cake , wild rice collards and corn bread. My partner had “steak” , Mac and cheese and yams. Thanks to the hard working family that provides this wonderful food .

Finally, I found a restaurant with healthy choices, a friendly environment, and, most importantly, the food was tasty! I ordered the vegan cheesesteak egg rolls, Royal Flush fresh juice, fries and a side salad. The salad dressing was delicious, as well as the egg rolls. I ordered the mushroom soup, and vegan gumbo to go so my family can try it, and they loved it. Initially, the service at the bar was slow, but they took good care of me. I am calling tomorrow to order a gallon of Royal Flush juice for the week. Thank you for bringing healthy alkaline choices to our community!

The best vegan food in Hampton Roads. Better than any of the Richmond spots. When I tell yall this food was perfect, it literally was. Get the shrimp po boy and gumbo. So delicious. Well-seasoned, well-rounded with flavor. Came out relatively quick too. And they have more menu options than the ones on their website. I'll definitely be back!

Very Nice establishment with plenty of room and seating. There is a full bar with free Mrs. Packman counter-top video game, board games and music. You food is prepared to order with very friendly service. The Faux Shrimp PoBoy was excellent, full of flavor and filling. My only complaint is the salad came with Honey Mustard dressing and I do not care for it. Don't recall being given an option. The Banana fries were hot and cooked crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
