Great Vegan Comfort Food

What we tried was so incredibly good! CJ was so helpful! The vegan Philly cheese steak was out of this world. The country fried platter was amazing, too. Highly recommend.

Pros: Tasty comfort food, Good portions

Just Alright

To be completely honest, the food was okay! I would go back if I’m in the area and need a bite to eat, but I wasn’t head over hills for it. My husband and I ordered the Wonton Nachos which were amazing but the Fish and Shrimp Basket (which I don’t see on the menu anymore) wasn’t that good. I would like to try their sandwiches one day though.

Yum!!!

Everything we ate at ITSO Vegan was delicious. We had the nachos and sides of fries, Mac and cheese and green! We were very happy with our food!

Tasty

We ordered the nachos, country fried chicken with Mac and cheese and yams, and 4 sides yams, greens, cabbage, and fries. Nachos were amazing best I’ve had in awhile. All the sides were good. Yams and greens taste grandma made. Least favorite was the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes, they were bad but didn’t stand out like the other dishes. Will visit again to get the nachos and try other dishes.

Pros: Nachos, Yams, Greens

Needs Improvement

Ordered the deluxe country chiken fried dinner and it was not good. The fried chiken had absolutely no flavor which I was shocked by. Curly fries were soggy. Mac and cheese just wasn’t there for me. The only thing I enjoyed was the greens and the cornbread.

Best vegan macaroni and cheese of all time!

I don’t know why this place is not overflowing with people. It was really quiet both times we visited but the food was incredible. The cabbage was so good I could eat a gallon of it. The mashed potatoes were heaven sent. The cheese steak sandwich, chicken fried seitan, and fish and chips were all top notch. But the mac & cheese was a level beyond. The best I’ve ever had in my many years of vegan travel. We will definitely be back!

Pros: Food, Service, Lots of parking

Cons: Too far from the city where I live

Yum

This is my third time trying ITSO Vegan. First time was okay, it was over the summer can’t name exactly what I got (some sort of burger or chx sandy) through a third party takeout service. I tried them again recently. I dined with my daughter. Woman at the front was super friendly and I got the Nachos. I ate the whole portion, that’s how good they were. Daughter had what she lives off of, French fries lol. Fries were fries, nothing too special. Went back today and ordered the Philly, also the best plant based “cheesesteak” I’ve have besides going to Philly. They are on the pricier side but some of the best vegan comfort food near Mansfield. I am looking forward to trying other options in the future.

Pros: All vegan, Quick orders

Cons: Expensive

I'd maybe order again

The flavor was great, loved the sweet potatoes. The gravy as well. The mashed potatoes were a bit dry as well as the "chicken" . The Mac was iight, boxed Mac quality

Second time ordering, this time the Philly steak and the Salisbury. Not the greatest.

But I'd maybe still order or eat here again. But I've had better elsewhere.

Fantastic comfort food

Great menu selections of all types of vegan recreated comfort foods. I had the Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and it was really good. I'll be back later in the week before I head back home!

Great food, great portion sizes, and fast!

The Air Conditioning wasn't working when I was there - but since I like things a little warm that didn't bother me. I ordered the Salisbury Steak, with greens and cabbage. I had the order in front of me in under five minutes. The flavor and texture of everything was great! The cabbage had a hint of 'bacon' flavor (not real bacon I'm sure) and the greens had a slight spicy tang that was very good. You got two steaks over two piles of mashed potatoes all covered in their gravy. Normally, I would not have been able to eat it all, but it tasted so good and I was a little extra hungry, so I managed to clean my plate.

Only negative is the use of Styrofoam serving containers instead of washable dishes or something recyclable. But I'm going to guess that they are trying to keep the prices lower (washing dishes means paying for more help, recyclable containers are much more expensive), so I can't really fault them for that. It would be nice to have the option to pay extra for that choice and let the market decide what they think is important, but maybe they already tried that.

Can't wait to go back!

Pros: Great flavor, Good portion sizes for the price, Fast service

Cons: Styrofoam serving containers

Flavorful

The customer service was great.
I was amazed at the vhilly cheesesteak. It was really good! I also had an order of Mac and cheese. It was okay. It somewhat tasted like chili mac. I wanted the cheese flavor but that wasn’t there.
The philly “vhilly” cheesesteak will have me coming back that’s for sure.

Pros: Vegan, Variety , Customer service

Very filling

Their T-Luxe Nachos is amazing. The chips stay crunchy even though they are soaked with nachos. And the portion is generous. I am a 150 lbs guy and was already full only half way through.

Pros: Generous portion, Crunch, Lots of veggies

Under different circumstances

Ordered at 4:30, said would be ready by 4:50, wasn't ready until 5:55. Ordered a Vhilly (6/10, not bad) w/ fries (nothing special), side of Mac (2/10), and cheesecake (3/10). Late service caused and extra 40 minute round-trip. I'm sure under different circumstances the meal could have been better. Rated 2* because 1* wasn't allowed.

Pros: Vhilly was okay, All vegan

Cons: 1hr5min late per quoted pickup, No customer service, For was mid at best

Unprofessional

Staff was extremely unhelpful when I requested a refund after I arrived to pick up my order and find out they are out of all the sides needed to fulfill my order. When I received the refund, I noticed the amount was ten dollars less than what I paid. When I inquired about the price difference, the young woman shrugged her shoulders and told me I had to go back to the merchant to get my money.

Cons: Uses boxed products , Processed sugars, Unprofessional staff

5 stars for the Cheezecake

Felt the other items I had, the Mac n Cheeze burger and the cornbread were not to my taste, but the Cheezecake was just on point! Will go back just for this.

Unique Food and Fun Vibe

We enjoyed the music and thought there was a fun vibe. One of the owners chatted with us a little bit and we really loved their mission and community involvement . They serve delicious comfort food that is well thought though. We ordered a lot of food and it was all delicious but seriously, the sautéed kale…. Soooo good! The chicken sandwich Mac n cheese, and Philly cheese steak were super good, in fact, the Mac n cheese was the best vegan mac I’ve ever had!
The only thing I didn’t love was that the ordering was a little confusing. We hadn’t been there before so we sat down and waited for a waitress but you actually order at the counter and then they bring food to the table. Not a big deal at all but it was as if this cute little place hadn’t quite decided if it was a fast food/take out place or a sit down restaurant but this is still one of our very favorite places and definitely in our top three vegan restaurants!

Updated from previous review on 2022-12-19

Pros: Fun creative vibe, Good food, Reasonable prices

Cons: They don’t have one in Colorado where we live!

Meh

I prefer to hit up dedicated Vegan spots when we travel as opposed to places with just options, but if back in this area we'd skip this place. Only one thing was terrible, but nothing was really that good either. I'd compare it to chain restaurant quality.

Pros: Fair amount of options

Cons: Chickn Sandwiches were dense and chewy , Mashed potatoes were terrible

Out of town guest

The service was excellent. I didn't enjoy the food. The kale was made with sugar. I had the chicken fried seitan over mashed potatoes. The potatoes were dry.

Pros: Totally vegan, Inexpensive, Good location

Cons: Few drink options, Only soul food options, Mostly fried foods

Won't go back.

It's been a while since I have been here. Stopped by for lunch. Food quality has gone way downhill. My partner said it tasted like cafeteria food. I got a chicken sandwich and greens. It was okay.

He got the chicken fried chicken. Just the patties, not homemade. Yams were mediocre. Mac and cheese did not taste like cheese and had a weird spice kick at the end. Gravy was decent, cornbread was bland.

Had to order at counter. No one asked how the food was or checked on us. We were the only people there.

We dined in but they gave us Styrofoam containers for food. Wasteful.


Disappointed in this vegan restaurant.

Just keeping it real…

Just keeping it real this place was initially exciting to check out.

This space is cool and decor is decent. Was digging the hollween decorations.

The food the for me was bland and edible at best. Fish and shrimp is kinda touch and chewy. Had to drown it in hot sauce. Mac and cheese wasn’t that bad however the greens ARE REALLY GOOD.

Unfortunately I probably wouldn’t return if back in town unless I’m just really craving greens…

Pros: All vegan spot, Greens are really good

Cons: Bland food

Right place, wrong time?

Food was decent, but not one of the three meals I wanted to order. They seemed to be out of everything.

Pros: Food was tasty, Not too expensive , Plenty of parking

Cons: Out of a lot of the food, Sun was blinding throughout the restaurant

Obsessed

We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with mac n cheese and the nachos with a cornbread muffin. Everything was amazing. The service was not unfriendly like some comments say. You just have to order at the front.

Pros: All vegan, Good prices, Delicious

One of the best

This is one of the only vegan places I can get delivered and the yams are the best, the greens are pretty good, and even my non veg kids enjoy their food. Family run, black owned.

Pros: Vegan soul food, The yams are phenomenal

Cons: Beyond burger is used which I am super allergic to
