Great taste, small details - Edit
The food tasted great, but our shrimp and gyro were too salty. Also, we ordered the gyro with no tomatoes, sauce, or onions, but they were still in the gyro. We got the Pop's Big Fish Sandwich, the Shrimp with no sauce, and the Greektown Gyro. I will be coming back to try it again though, as I have heard great things about it!
Read morePros: Great taste, Everything can be made vegan, Large portions

This place is awesome! - Edit
The food took me by surprise when they brought out the new Nashville Hot chicken sandwich! Let along the better version of the Big Mac. Outstanding performance in taste and texture to!
Read morePros: The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich , The Cookie Monster dessert drink, Steamy Burgers!
Cons: French Fries needs an update on taste., Burrito needs to be bigger/toasted on a flat top., Pickle need a new flavor profile…thinner for text.

Variety - not your usual vegan food - Edit
Had to stop here while visiting a friend in Chicago. We went on a Sunday night and it was packed. There are 2 restaurants in this unit and parking was tight. We ordered the Chicago Hot Dog (vegan), Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, and Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. The hot dog was small, the fries were cold, we didn’t get the sauce for the egg rolls or the ketchup packets. My friend liked her sandwich. The egg rolls were really good, and I’m sad I didn’t get to try the sauce. You could not tell the egg rolls were vegan. Super tasty. I think I paid almost $50 for the 3 items, plus a tip, so not inexpensive. Wish they’d ditch the dairy cheese and go full vegan!
Read morePros: Variety, Excellent Philly egg rolls
Cons: Expensive , Forgot to give the sauce and ketchup packets

Excellent Food - Edit
I had the Double Decker Turkey Bacon Club which was fantastic and tasted just like a real Turkey club. I absolutely love Deli sandwiches and I never see them on vegan menus, so I was so excited to be able to order one and have it taste like it should. Their seasoned fries, which come with the meal, were amazing as well. I could eat a whole bucket of those. It was a little expensive, even for a vegetarian/vegan place, but the food was delicious.

Can't believe it's not meat - Edit
This is a great place in Orland Park. I had the Philly Cheese steak with a side of seasoned fries. The price was a little higher than what I'm used to, but the amount of food that you get is definitely worth the price. The menu had several options that I haven't seen in this area. The fries were tasty and the cheese steak was satisfying. Would definitely go more often if it was closer to me.

Food was good but I asked for no onions 😣 plus left didn’t give me my cupcake. - Edit
The food was hot & fresh but when people request items not put in their food that should be followed. Also, people packing the bag could double check to make sure everything is in a customer’s bag.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan meals, They have different dessert varieties , Food is cooked fresh & hot

Veganized fast food - Edit
Free parking available in lot. Nice space with plenty of seating available. All of there orders are prepared to go - not sure if that will change with time. Many different food options that look amazing. Vegan and vegetarian options available so make sure you specify which one you want.
Read moreTram member recommended Big Mik and compared it to a Big Mac from McDonalds. Not interested in that although it may be good. I had the Philly cheesesteak. It comes with meatless protein, red Leah lettuce and tomatoes. I selected vegan cheese. It had good flavor. Bread was soft. Actually broke apart and became a finger food meal … I don’t mind because it tasted good. Nice portion size. Comes with fries.
I also ordered the triple decker club. It was everything I would have expected.
I would come back here to try more items on the menu. The triple decker is worth coming back for again
Pros: Many vegan options, Good portion size
Cons: Flavor was not unique but it was good

Great food…Parking a little tight - Edit
Great food. I initially heard about this restaurant thru social media influencer, Tabitha Browm and when I went to look it up found out they had this location near me, I finds best to order online because the wait is. Little long I love the MLK, great seasoned fries. Plan to go back. I agree they could use more parking.

We tried most of their menu - Edit
My sister and I ordered online and picked up. We had a large order and they were packed, so it took about 40 mins. We shared the big mic, chkn sandwich, Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, all which were soo good. I also tried the pizza puff, very tasty. And the Chicago hot dog, also really good. She also got the vegan shrimp and liked it a lot. Cant go wrong with any of those.
Read moreUpdate: The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and their Buffalo chicken wings (not pictured) are our favorites.

Wow! - Edit
We've been wanting to try the Hyde Park location for a while now, but it hasn't worked out. We're much closer to Orland Park anyways, so we were happy to hear about the new location. It was worth the wait. I had the Big Mic, and it was as great as they say. My wife had the chik'n sandwich, and she loved it. The kids had the Italian not beef, triple decker, and patty melt. All of them (not vegetarians, like my wife and I) liked it too, and they can be picky eaters. My only complaint is the size of the parking lot. We picked up our order on a Friday night, and it was jam packed... a line out of the parking lot waiting for spaces. (FYI, it shares space, but not cooking space, with a non-veg restaurant). Can't wait to go back and try the shakes.
