Not bad

A decent choice in the suburbs when you're with meat eaters and want to satisfy both parties. I wouldn't go here otherwise though.

Vegan Italian beef sandwich

This was a pretty good sandwich, one of four vegan options on the menu- others are vegan beef bowl, cheez, and fries. A little salty but the sweet peppers (added cost) balanced it out ok.

Updated from previous review on 2026-02-11

Pros: Just glad to have a couple good options, More veg friendly than other fast food places

Great vegan beef sandwich

Great vegan beef sandwich. I've read that.

Avoid the fries. They are not vegan, as they're cooked in a mixture of vegetable oil and beef tallow.

Italian Beef-less sandwich

Buona partnered with Upton Naturals to produce the beef-less sandwich and it is excellent. They also recently added a beef-less bowl that looks nice, but have yet to try.

Pros: vegan options, flavor
