Delicious vegan and healthy - Edit
They have a lot of vegan options. I had the tempeh salad which felt healthy and delicious with the bbq sauce and the spicy cashew dressing. Husband had the tempeh sandwich which he liked. Potato salad was really good. The portions are small. So we were ready for the lemon bar which is vegan and gluten free and it was worth the sugar! #Veganuary

Excellent option! - Edit
Excellent options and they have beer & wine as well! We ordered and ate the vegan nachos, Vegaloaf Sandwich, and Vegan-Foot Sandwich. My partner and I disagreed about our favorite. The potato salad is fantastic! While I loved the server and vegan options, we found the nachos bland and the Vegaloaf Sandwich needed more tempeh and less potato salad. That said, we also ordered 2 mushroom mozzarella burgers and a chocolate cake & lemon bars to go.

I love this place! - Edit
Doesn’t sound like a vegan restaurant but they have many choices for meat eaters, vegans and gluten free needs. It’s often my go-to place! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and you don’t feel out of place as you sometimes might in a place that just “accommodates” a plant based diet.
Read morePros: So many vegan options clearly marked in menu, Food is fresh and delicious, They also can accommodate gluten free

Good sandwiches - Edit
Good selection of vegan sandwiches made with tempeh. My only request is that they’d put a little more tempeh in the sandwiches! They do offer good vegan sides like a mac and cheese though.

Great place for mixed eaters - Edit
I love places that my omni coworkers can enjoy while I don't have to compromise. My coworkers reported that they enjoyed the bbq but it wasn't truly best in class. The desserts, even the vegan ones, go rave reviews.

Really good vegan potato salad! - Edit
We ordered takeout and were grateful to find vegan bbq options in Boise. It was definitely not the best vegan bbq I have ever had but the potato salad was absolutely amazing! I had the vegan foot sandwich which was good. Unfortunately the vegan mac n cheese was probably the worst I have ever had. The noodles were grainy and terrible and cheese sauce flavorless.

Holy Cow!! - Edit
Wow this place is Amazing!! Entire vegan sandwich section, plus apps, and desserts!! Barbecue recipes are from a competitive barbecuer with multiple championships.  Do not sleep on this place! Generous potions and easy parking. A place to bring snobby meat eaters as well. Vegan or Omnivore, neither one is missing out on flavor!

Never A Disappointment - Edit
I have thoroughly enjoyed every dish I've had here. I appreciate that they've offered so many vegan options for many years. I'm a sucker for nachos, so I recommend those. They also offer vegan milkshakes and other desserts.

Definitely have to try it - Edit
We ordered the tempeh with Mac n cheese sandwich. It was good and the bbq sauce made it tasty. Sauce is mild, tangy with a hint of sweet. Next time I’m ordering the all tempeh sandwich. The coleslaw was lacking zip, for me. I would have liked it more creamy and more seasoning. The chili was great. Not spicy and we added vegan cheese and Fritos when we ate it at home. Chocolate cake with chocolate sauce… yum! We took our order to go and planning to go back.

I liked it a lot but didn’t love it a lot - Edit
Really friendly service (Bri). Had the vegan nachos. They were good. I’m not a olives on my nacho guy though and there were a lot of them. Then I got the bbq sandwich tempeh. Again it was good but not outstanding. Nevertheless for Boise, ID, I’m very thankful to find vegan options. Good job, Boise.

Fast and delicious 😋 - Edit
Only waited about 15 minutes so it was all made pretty fast. My mom got the Pastrami sandwich and i got the Vegan foot sandwich, vegan mac and cheese, and vegan bread pudding. The flavor and texture of the mac wasn’t what i was expecting but i’m definitely not disappointed, everything was delicious!🍴

Fast friendly service - Edit
Very happy with their vegan menu if you’re looking for quick fast food, not overly healthy but good for a quick stop if you’re into burgers and tempeh sandwiches. I had the mushroom burger and it was a little squishy but easy to eat 😂

Yum - Edit
Visited this place with a non-veg friend who enjoyed her meal as much as I did. The vegan bbq sandwich (with side of potato salad) was pretty good, but the place earned my undying love with the vegan bread pudding.

Yummy! - Edit
While driving through Boise on our way home to Utah we stopped for a bite of vegan grub. Worth the stop! Food was delicious but don’t make the mistake we made- we opted to share a vegan Oreo shake. Order your very own - no regret!!

Good fine in Idaho - Edit
My husband and I were happy to find this gem in Idaho. The mushroom burger was pretty delicious. The nachos were good just wish the ‘cheese’ would be a little more creamy and not so grainy. The potato salad was ok. It was really oniony.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options , Mushroom burger was delicious

Me and the wife had the vegan-foot sandwich with potato salad, fries, and a oreo milkshake and it was fantastic. The mac and cheese on the sandwich was really good contrary to some of the other reviews on here. Would definitely head there again if I am in town.

I ordered a bowl of vegan black bean chili and a side of fries. The chili was a little too spicy for me because of the jalapenos, and I didn't like the chunks of tomatoes. The fries were pretty good, though.

A lot of great vegan options - Edit
Definitely should have read other options and skipped the mac n cheese, it lacks any flavor or salt at all..zero. The sandwiches on Texas toast were great but I got the sandwich with Mac n cheese and that just ruined it. The smoked tempeh was great!
