Best option at a vegan street “party” - Edit
Chose Karelyn’s after checking out ALL of the other vendors at the vegan street “ party”. They had the only whole food option which was “fried Chicken” made from oyster mushrooms. The banana pudding was good not too sweet!
Read morePros: WFPB option, Great customer service , Banana pudding and oyster mushroom “fried chicken”
Cons: $24+ per plate, Kale salad didn’t have dressing/flavor

I love Karelyn’s Vegan. I always have to get her banana pudding for dessert. It’s incredible!

Pretty decent - Edit
Originally when I ordered from this vendor at a vegan event, the oyster mushrooms tasted like burned grease. I refused to order from them since until last night. They were at the Vegan Street Party and I ordered the Karelyn dinner which included fried oyster mushrooms, Mac and cheese, cornbread and kale salad.
Read moreI loved that oyster mushrooms as always as they were covered in habanero sauce. The Mac and cheese needs work and it was cold. The cornbread was fine and I didn’t bother eating the kale salad because kale isn’t supposed to be eaten raw. It should be cooked only but many think it can be used for salads.
They should replace the kale/spinach salad with a watercress and arugula salad instead. The Mac n cheese needs work. They need to make cheese from cashew nuts and use soy free vegan cheese to add. Minor adjustments can make this dinner better.
Pros: Oyster mushrooms didn’t taste like burnt grease
Cons: Kale and spinach should not be eaten raw, MAC n cheese was cold

Kale is actually quite delicious in a salad raw if it is massaged with some dressing. Massaging it breaks down the bitterness

Crispy & Costly Chickn - Edit
Tried them at the Gainesville Vegan Street Party! The staff is very nice and funny and I was excited to try the vegan crispy chickn sandwich. The sandwich tastes amazing and was a 10/10 for both me and my non-vegan dad. The vegan Mac & cheese was okay. Nothing too special. Even though the overall meal tasted great, the price…definitely costly. It would be a nice treat once and awhile but definitely nothing I could have often cause of the price.

tasty but pricy - Edit
these vegan options are GOOD. the drumsticks are complete with a little literal stick! so cute. the burgers are $25 to give you an idea of how much you will be paying. i love supporting vegan businesses but when everything is over $20 pretty much it makes it a little more infeasible when there are other options in the $10-$15 range.
Read moreEDIT- business reached out to me and asked me to adjust what i said about pricing so the latest information is $19 for a sandwich w a side and the combo meal is $24. they have other items too but that pricing was not clarified. with tip and taxes, this is still going to be in the $20s for a meal so my original review is not being removed. in my opinion this is a lot of money for food but the quality is very good. it’s just not always feasible to spend $25 for a meal after tip/taxes.

Flavor packed deliciousness! - Edit
I had the Philly Cheesesteak on an event (Meatless Monday’s) and it was fantastic!
Read moreThe portion was very satisfying and the Kale salad that I ordered as the side was also delicious, crunchy and fresh!
I loved that I was made to order and because of that I didn’t mind the wait at all!
Also ordered the OG Chick’n and it had great flavor but I thought it was too much, I’ll definitely give their Chick’n another try in another form like their Fried Wingz next time I catch them at an event!
The staff was friendly and overall the experience was great! 💚

Top notch - Edit
My partner and I ordered two vegan chicken sandwiches and they were great! They were totally swamped with customers at the event that we went to and you could see how quickly and professionally they were working! Check em out!

Good food but pricey - Edit
My first time trying them was at a vegfest. I made sure I got there early enough so wouldn't be in long lines and glad I didn't because it's only 2 of them. I got the philly cheese steak, fries and banana pudding and it came to 31.00. 10.00 each I guess, the philly and the banana pudding was delicious, the fries were just ok. I haven't had authentic tasting banana pudding since going vegan so was totally worth it. I'd try them again.

Find them out in the community - Edit
They are back out and about st various venues. Follow them on Instagram they post where they will be. In my humble opinion, this is the best vegan food in orlando. They are amazing family owned business that make you feel like part of the family. #Veganuary

Delicious food from a wonderful Staff - Edit
One of my favorite restaurants in Orlando! Don't be fooled by the fact that it is located in a gas station because the food is always delicious and fresh. They have a variety of comfort foods including Mac&cheeze, burgers&loaded fries and amazing desserts. Don't forget to the try the lemonades! This is a small family owned place and in my opinion those are the best places to eat. The food is always made with lots of love and flavor. You will not regret trying this place and will probably keep coming back like me😄

Tried to order, could not. Drove by and it was a gas station. - Edit
Very, very odd. Called and got a child speaking on the voicemail. Drove by and it was a gas station at the address listed. Decided to go to another restaurant and then got texted by the phone number that they forgot our collard greens? Seems like a very unprofessional business if they don't have a reliable way to order and are not at the address listed.

Satisfying - Edit
The gas station was sketchy but the food was decent. Fries were great. Chicken Sandwich was supposed to be spicy and I wasn’t. It also was cold in the inside. They didn’t open on time, so she was nice to let me know what wasn’t ready.

Hidden gem - Edit
Don’t let the gas station confuse you, head in: straight back and to the left and find what might be the best soul food in Orlando (maybe the whole world actually). The owners are dedicated and pour their hearts into what they do. Been here a few times now and never disappointed - it really is a special spot!
Read morePros: OG Mac sandwich!! 😍, House made “meats” and sauces, Curbside delivery available
