Got some southern food - Edit
Great little place in the French Quarter. Got to try fried okra. Had the buff chick burger. It was delicious. They do really good sauces and very friendly service too.

Good Food & Open Late - Edit
There aren’t many late night options for vegans in New Orleans so we were excited to find 2 Phat Vegans. The staff were super nice and everything we got was delicious. We had the Jerk Chick’n Wrap, Mushroom Po’Boy, Fried Mushrooms, Fries and Mic Drop Burger during our stay. We will definitely go back next time we’re in New Orleans.
Read morePros: Friendly Staff, Open until 1:00AM, New Orleans flavors

Unforgettable - Edit
Two amazing brothers, authentic New Orleans cuisine - but vegan. This place is homey, affordable, and delicious. The meatball sub, I could inhale 10 more of those. This place is so worth the visit. Can’t wait to try the vegan gumbo.

Get It When You Can! - Edit
One of the few fully vegan spots in the French Quarter, and it is delicious!
Read moreThey appear to run out of several items throughout the day so get what you can. I tried the Hot Sausage Poboy which was spectacular, but they were out of poboy bread.
I went a second time for the ribs but they were out so I got a jerk chicken wrap.
I don't mind that things were out of stock, because I'm happy to support a plant-based restaurant.
Pros: Flavor, Atmosphere
Cons: Not everything is available

Can’t complain - Edit
Pretty good, can’t complain, if you are a vegan in the French Quarter this is pretty much your only option.
Read moreI had the mushroom poboy twice in two days. I liked it

As a vegan, I didn’t think I would be able to experience food like this while in NoLa. I am so glad I found this place!

Not well stocked - Edit
I was looking forward to being able to chose anything on a menu. It was a hot day and their AC wasn’t working. Sadly, they were also out of a lot of things and had no oil to fry with (I try to avoid fried food so that wasn’t an issue). The vegan sausage Po Boy was available but I don’t like overly spicy food so I had the burger. It was very good. My carnivore son had the po-boy and he liked it a lot. We also had the vegan pralines which were ok. Not nearly as good as a real praline (from what I can remember).
Read moreThis is a very small and casual place. Only 2 booths for dining in and a bit run down.

Good food, decent price, not the best service. - Edit
We got the italian sausage po boy and the spicy chicken sandwich. The food was delicious, but it took a moment for it to come out, and the small amount of other people in the restaurant were also waiting a long time.

Just what I needed! I got the jerk chicken Mac and cheese the fried mushrooms. Both were great! And the sauce for the fried mushrooms is divine. Went w/ my non vegan parent and they loved it too. Highly, highly recommend.

2 phat vegans - Edit
dissapointing, overpriced and bad quality. They were out of a lot of things, and the food was not worth the price. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? At least it was vegan…

Great vegan restaurant that is open for dinner - Edit
This restaurant is really the only vegan place near downtown that is open for dinner. The food is great. Seating is limited. It is not fast food. Well worth dining here.

small place great food - Edit
I got the vegan hot sausage po boy (i was surprised it had pickles but i was glad it did). I also tried the vegan gumbo which was enjoyable. We had to wait a bit for the food and it was quite hot inside without ac so next time I would do pick up instead.

Vegan spicy chicken! (4.5/5 Green Stars) - Edit
How can you resist a place named 2 Phat Vegans?! It’s a lovely building in a great location, near the French market, Esplanade Ave., and Frenchmen St. The interior is cheerfully painted in bright colors with lots of art and posters on the walls. The bright green interior, contrasted against the red brick exterior, is fun and charming. I ordered my food to go a spicy chic'n sandwich (vegan chicken, vegan cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles) for $14.65, and waited at a table outside. The staff/owner seems a bit disorganized so you may wait a while depending on who’s running the show. Case-in-point – the menu on the website is a mess! My food was good, however, and I’d have it again. Not a bargain, considering that it doesn’t come with fries. Others report inconsistent quality – get your acts together, guys!
Read moreI’m also rating 2 Phat Vegans 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following:
• Everything here is vegan. Adopting a plant-based diet is the top thing you can do to mitigate climate change, deforestation, animal cruelty, and global food scarcity (and improve your health!)
• Many items seem to be made in house, for example the hot sausage, which I’ll try next time. I just found that out from an interview with the owner on YouTube. The website could do a much better job on this selling point.
• Black-owned local business that’s pretty conscious about the food and drinks that they stock.
• Room for improvement: my sandwich came in what appears to be a Styrofoam box. Switch this to compostable cardboard please! Styrofoam is nasty for the planet.

Straight fire! 🔥 - Edit
If you’re in New Orleans and not eating at 2 Phat Vegans, you are seriously missing out. The PO Boy was so damn good! The in-house sausage absolutely stole the show, especially with that insanely flavorful sauce. Like licking-the-wrapper level good. 🔥 We also got the buffalo chick sandwich and it was straight fire too. Every single bite hit. The cafe itself is super rad with awesome artwork everywhere, and we had a Notorious B.I.G. record hanging right above our table which as a Gen-Xer instantly made me love the vibe even more. The owner was incredibly friendly and passionate, and you can tell he truly loves what he’s creating there. Absolute gem of a spot. NOLA has no idea how lucky they are to have this cafe! Oh, and the fruit punch is not to be missed too!

Got my po boy - Edit
When I was not vegan, I would eat po boys for every meal when I came to visit New Orleans. Found this place on HappyCow and my po’ boy craving is satisfied.

Nice soul food experience - Edit
A big menu of authentic soul food. They have a core menu and then certain dishes they only serve on certain days of the week.
Read moreWe got the chicken with Mac and cheese and a po boy.
The po boy was really good, we hadn't had one before, it was sort of just like a burger in a baguette.
The Macaroni cheese had a great texture but was lacking some flavour, but it went well with the chicken

Long wait time, decent food - Edit
We waited over an hour. There were only a few people there besides us. There were 5 of us. The food was really good when it came out (one item at a time over 20 minutes or so. ) but we were overall pretty disappointed. They were out of several things we tried to order. Seemed like only 1 guy working taking orders and making the food so it could have just been a staffing issue. He was trying hard so we didn’t complain at all and fr the food was pretty yummy.
