Actual restaurant, no longer a food truck!

Delicious foods, friendly staff and lots of options.
If you're coming only once in your life, I'd recommend either the rib sandwich, the Lorraine burger, the collosal chicken sandwich or drumsticks.

Pros: Friendly staff, Easy parking, right off the interstate, Sit down restaurant

All vegan

Fairly large menu to choose from with lots of variety. My Philly cheesesteak was delicious, bread was soft. My wife had the cheesy mushroom melt, it was huge! Very good, great earthy taste to the mushrooms and kale. The bread seems fresh baked and the cheese sauce was delicious. My daughter had the drumsticks, I have to say, the BBQ drumstick was out of this world good. Just lightly sweet sauce. The sample platter has plenty to taste. All very good. Great service too.

Flavor explosion!

We have had her food when she was on the food truck. It was phenomenal then, AND we just visited her new restaurant location. . .EVEN BETTER! I didn't think it was possible!

My husband and I split Danny's cheesesteak, the rib sandwich, and a lasagna. . .don't judge. . .we skipped lunch! LOL! The cheesesteak tasted just like what I remember from my meat-eating days. That is one thing I've missed since going vegan. We've tried other places, but this one is the real deal. The "rib" pieces were crispy, yet moist and well coated in a sweet and slightly smokey sauce. The lasagna was flavorful, cheesy, and had the crispy noodle edge I love.

I wish I had gotten their names, but the lady that took our order checked on us to be sure we enjoyed our meal. The sharp young man cooking had a very welcoming personality and as stated above made some AMAZING food for us!

Vegan fast food

5 star for fast food vegan, 2 star for Whole Foods Plant Base Healthy. Huge portions and a lot of choices. Although most everything was fried and salty. The young man at the counter was great. He was friendly, polite, helpful, and the food was served fast. I like the concept, but it wasn't for me. I would recommend it if you are looking for fast food.

Such a confusing review. I remember you. I recommended the lasagna, the chicken pesto pasta, and the beef stir fry. None are "fast food" items. I have over 30 items on my menu. However, YOU chose other than what was recommended. In any event, I appreciate you stopping in.

AMAZING food, poor location, bad service.

The food was absolutely amazing. Portions were large and you definitely get your money's worth with an expansive menu and plenty of gluten free options as well. Good juices too. It was kind of hard to find, though I didn't particularly mind that. The service was poor and the cashier was incredibly rude - almost soured the whole experience. Tried to give her the benefit of the doubt though, everyone has bad days. Would come back again even if the service did hurt the mood as the food more than makes up for it.

Pros: Food, Portions, Options

Cons: Location, Service

I hate that you had a "rude" service experience. Would have been great to receive an email, phone call, or request to speak to me in person, rather than write a review. I could've resolved the issue!

Nice surprise

Like another reviewer, I stopped to sleep at the Cracker Barrel in my van and was surprised an all vegan place was next door.

I was really looking forward to the rib sandwich but they were out, unfortunately, so I got the Danny cheesesteak which was really good. I’m pretty certain they use Beyond steak which I like

The Mac and cheese was just okay for me, heavy on the salt, I wouldn’t order it again but I’d definitely return if I’m passing through the area again. Plenty of other things on the menu I’d like to try

Updated from previous review on 2024-02-19

Pros: All vegan and friendly, Good selection and big portions, Easy in and out in an oversized vehicle

Cons: Sad they were out of the rib sandwich , Mac and cheese isn’t my favorite

Best Vegan Cheesesteak!

While traveling the country, we stayed one night in Florence in our RV at the Cracker Barrel. What a delight to land right beside Eliza’s vegan cafe! We walked over to have dinner and I decided to indulge in the cheesesteak with a side of sweet potato fries. I hadn’t had one since I had gone vegan, and WOW, it was better than the animal versions I’d had growing up. Everything was deliciously seasoned, and came out hot and fresh. The service was great too; so friendly and welcoming. We felt like family. It’s not often I choose to eat non-WFPB, but if my husband and I pass through the area again, we will for sure be back here! #Veganuary

Pros: Great place to take non-vegans, Loved the wall art & decor, Fast service

Cons: Requested no cheese & was told it couldn’t be done

Must Pit Stop to Eat

Oh my goodness! I was traveling down south and I was VERY surprised to discover a HUGE billboard along I-95 showing a vegan restaurant! In this case, it was Eliza’s Kitchen. I instantly got of the interstate, got gas and then went inside to be greeted by some outstanding ladies! ☺️ I ended up ordering the Danny’s Cheesesteak, fries and a freshly made blueberry juice. I was VERY pleased that they didn’t serve any Impossible or Beyond Meat. In my opinion, any vegan restaurant that serves those meats is basically a cop out. Overall, I’m very pleased and will definitely stop by again on my travel back home.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Atmosphere, Food

Great find

We saw their ad on a billboard on 95 while on our way up north right at the perfect time. So many choices and all looked so good. The food was delicious and the service was extraordinary! We will definitely try to plan this in to our trips in the future.

Fantastic!

I ordered the popcorn chicken salad and the serving size was enough to feed two! It was wonderfully fresh. I also had the Mac & cheese which was the best I’ve ever had and a side of slaw. The service is fast and friendly. Will definitely stop by on my next visit through the area.

Pros: Delicious flavors, Prompt and friendly service, Generous serving size

Excellent Food and Service!

I'm a truck driver and called ahead to see if I would be able to get into parking lot with my truck. The owner advised me to park next door, behind the tobacco store. There's a large menu to select from.

Pros: Variety , Parking , Overall experience

Cons: N/A

Amazing vegan food

We stopped by on our trip back from NY. Super convenient location directly off the interstate. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful choosing an item from the very impressive menu. The menu offers such a wide variety of items. I had the bacon cheeseburger. This was the best vegan cheeseburger I have ever had! I also had the sampler appetizer plate. Every item on it was amazing. I left very full, but I just had to get the cheesecake and some lasagna to go. What can I say, finding vegan food this good is not easy. I look forward to stopping here on my next trip.

Pros: Great quality and great tasting vegan food., Super friendly staff, quick service, Convenient location with good prices

Convenient for travelers

I pass through the Florence area a lot when I go from Columbia to Wilmington and back, and this place is right off I-95! The food is delicious and served quickly. Big menu—I can’t wait to try more. On my first visit I had the classic chick’n sandwich. Delicious vidalia sauce on a house made fried patty with lettuce and onions. I’m definitely coming back again and again!!

Pros: Fast and convenient location, Reasonable price, Diverse menu

Cons: Attached to a gas station

Super hospitable staff with great suggestions, the portion size was huge for the price, and it was super tasty. Absolutely stop by if you get the chance - the specialty drinks are $ but are SO good if you can swing it.

Pros: Location, Value, Size of the menu

Delicious food and great staff!

On our drive up I95 we saw a big billboard for Eliza’s Vegan Cafe. We first drove by when they were closed so we remembered on the way back down. We were greeted warmly by the owner. She was so happy to have us. We ordered ahead and our food was hot and ready. The BBQ drumsticks were amazing. So familiar. We also enjoyed the Mac n Cheese, dumplings and Charley’s Cheesesteak. There is nothing I wouldn’t get again. It kept two vegans satiated for the long journey ahead. Thank you to everyone at Eliza’s! We will be back next time we travel that way 😊

Amazing little Vegan place

The food and homemade juices were absolutely amazing! Not only was there a large menu to choose from, but the service was beyond wonderful and the staff was so welcoming and sweet. I’d recommend anyone, vegan or not to come to Eliza’s.

Great surprise!

There was a billboard for this cafe as we were making our way off 95! I could pull over fast enough to google it and I’m so happy I did! Full vegan cafe! Had the BBQ drumsticks w fries and wow! It was cooked beautifully! They even have a kids meal w toy! My son was so excited! Will be stopping by on our way back.

One disappointment was one lady was not being very nice to what appeared to be a new cashier/employee and it almost made me walk out. I hope that doesn’t happen again because I drive this way to visit family and would love to make it a regular stop.

Tasty Food, but slow service

While the food was very tasty, the service was a bit slow on this trip. The food is very reasonably priced. I will give another chance if I'm back in town.

Pros: The cooked veggie pita was very good., The blueberry-limeade homemade juice was very good

Cons: Our food took almost 45 minutes to be served., The music was very loud; hard to hear conversation
