Amazing! - Edit
We went to O! Vegasm while in town for a wedding last weekend. The food was AMAZING! It was a bit hard to get there from the French Quarter (we took a cab) and the place has no signage, but it was totally worth it!!! The food was amazing--creative, tasty, and lots of food for the price. Honestly, it was a dive bar, but it almost added to the ambiance. Everyone was friendly. And again, the food--I had a vegan jambalaya, BBQ pumpkin seitan with kale slaw and cashew mac 'n cheese. Everything was amazing. Wish someplace like this was in St. Louis! Yum!

Amazing - Edit
This place was amazing. The food was good and the cook was very nice. Yes it is a little hard to get to and it was in a dive bar but it is worth it trust me. AMAZING!!! The cook was talking about moving so call them to make sure they are still open.

Delicious! - Edit
Go get this food tonight. You won't regret it. I highly recommend the nachos. Drool inducing daydreams of those nachos will result in the future. They usually have the most impressive delivery range too: ALL OVER THE CITY! I live far too far away from them to enjoy them as often as one should, but they save me from pouting by bringing it all the way across town and to my door. How amazing is that? I haven't met a single person who didn't like this food meat lovers/addicts and vegans alike. And the brunch? Oh the brunch. Huge/amazing/creative breakfasty concoctions! And did I mention you can get it delivered? Yeah, just making sure. There's a good reason they have the blush worthy name, and the tagline, giving you bedroom eyes for vegan food, oh yes: here's lookin at you nachos.

Pros: Super Amazing, City wide DELIVERY!!, Deeeelicious

wow, it sure has changed ... - Edit
I have reserved special time to eat at O Vegasm every time that I visit New Orleans, going back to when they were operating out of their old location. So, when I visited last week for Mardi Gras, I once again looked so forward to the food and the service that I had craved. However, what I ended up with on this most recent visit was nothing but a "bad taste in my mouth."
Read moreI had seen that they were offering delivery, so I was psyched with the thought that I could enjoy the food even more regularly on this trip, as I was staying in the Marigny area close by. However, when I called to place an order, I was told that there was no delivery available and that they weren't sure which days it would be available. Inconvenient, but understandable, since it is a small business. Anyway, anyone who read my previous review would know that I had really raved about the atmosphere that they had created in their new location, and most importantly about the wonderful service that I received. So, imagine my disappointment when, after waiting for someone to notice me for over ten minutes, I was greeted by a guy who seemed more pissed off that I was there than happy to see me. I think it was the head chef, but I had never been introduced to him, so I cannot say so with certainty. In any event, after minutes more went by without even an offering of a glass of water, I left. Thankfully the food co-op a few blocks away had everything I needed to make a tasty sandwich. I don't know what's happened to this place, but it just isn't the same. Shame.

Food good, space-not so much - Edit
Located inside a smokey and noisy dive bar,the St Roch Tavern. Dirty, large cockroach on floor. Almost walked out as I was grossed out. Menu inside a clear plastic sleeve, food served on styrofoam plate. But owner was kind and sincere, and I wanted to look past "the cover". Food was good, ordered the vegan Jambalaya, and he gave me a complimentary kale slaw that was superb. Portions good, and excellent value. Carrot cake for dessert was not too bad (after Sweet Life in Eugene, nothing comes close). Smoke from bar was overwhelming and the live music so loud could not hear myself think.

Pros: Friendly owner, well porportioned servings, Fair prices

AMAZING. - Edit
I walked over 2 miles to get to O! Vegasm and it was totally worth every step (though I don't recommend it!) Amazing Jambalaya, and I heard others raving about everything on the menu. The chef came out and I got to talk with him for awhile which was great, he said he'd whip something special up for me when I came in again! HIGHLY recommend it. PLEASE NOTE: Building doesn't say O!Vegasm on it at all, it's located within 1200 St. Roch Tavern.

Name says it all.... - Edit
For our long weekend trip to New Orleans, I was most looking forward to eating at O!Vegasm and it did not disappoint. The name really says it all. We had both dinner on Friday night and brunch on Sunday. We took taxis on Friday, but the bus stop (which we checked out on Sunday) is just a couple of blocks away. The service was so friendly and welcoming too. They are located inside St. Roch Tavern making it easy to have drinks as well.
Read moreOnto the food! For dinner, we ordered the spicy black bean burger and double decker grilled cheese BLT, both with tater tots. Our friend ordered the crab cake po'boy special with coleslaw. We all shared the nachos and a side of mac n cheese. The smoked cashew cheese is out of this world. The grilled cheese rocked with it as did the mac and cheese (probably the best vegan one I've ever had). The black bean burger was so gourmet. Our friend (who is non-vegan and loves crab cakes) said he would not have believed the po'boy was vegan if he didn't know that in advance. He was mighty impressed. For brunch, it was just the two of us and it's a set menu of two items (changes weekly). Yes, two items (both savory and sweet) for only $15! We each got our own plates although we saw other couples sharing. It consisted of tofu benedict with sausage and rosemary biscuit and a cinnamon roll pancake with glaze. So glad we didn't share as I wanted it all to myself. Dirk got a bloody mary as well. We also took the mini pistachio bundt cakes to go along with more mac and cheese. Both delicious. My only complaint is that I didn't get to try everything on the menu. I'm still thinking about the jackfruit reuben and BBQ seitan sandwich I didn't get to try. Next trip, right? Definitely go support them!
Pros: fantastic vegan food, friendly service, smoked cashew cheese

A Real Winner - Edit
The food is incredible. We went to the Sunday brunch, and were amazed. It is a fixed menu on Sundays but we are returning on a weekday to try the regular menu. The chef is a true artist so your meal looks like a piece of art as well as being delicious. Service in the restaurant section was great, super friendly. They do have service in the bar as well, but the restaurant is the side to sit. Good atmosphere and really friendly clients. We got to know several other patrons just over one meal. This should be on everbody's must try list.

O my Vegasm - Edit
We went for the Sunday Brunch which sounded super. Be warned, go early. Instead we ordered off the regular menu and it was great. I had the bean burger on gluten free bread with avo, onion rings and cheesey cashew sauce, yum.
Read more(be sure to ask for the gluten free bacon cause they have both).
My buddy had a jackfruit reuben. I swear, jackfruit. Great. With soy cheese, sauce and kraut.
It is located in a pop up kitchen in a hipster bar but that is a very cool development in urban veg cuisine.
So check it out.
Pros: food, gluten free, people
Cons: smoke

The best vegan food in NOLA - Edit
The food is amazing! You will not find better vegan food anywhere in or around New Orleans. Better than anything I have had in NYC, Seattle, or LA. If you pass this place up, you are missing something truly amazing. The chef is bound for greatness.

Great Vegan Breakfast - but not inexpensive - Edit
My experience with the brunch was positive. The place is a bar with a pool table, table and chairs and booths. I showed up at 10am and they got to serving around 11am. The price is $15...which to me is not inexpensive. It didn't include drinks which would have been nice to have coffee and juice. Totally great food though. They did take my credit card at the bar which was nice as I wasn't expecting to pay that much.
Read morePros: Great Food, Good Vibe, Good to give your $$ to cool people
Cons: Not Cheap, No Drinks Included, The atmosphere lacks

Hey, I just revisited New Orleans recently and had a chance to enjoy their food again. I just wanted to let you know that they've moved to a new and better location - in the Bywater area, now. It's still a pop-up restaurant inside a bar, but I felt that this new place had a better atmosphere than the last one they were at. Still the same great people and food, though, but just with expanded hours and menu!

Amazing Food! Best Brunch in town!!! - Edit
Chef John Morales made two amazing brunches both Sundays I attended! The food flavors were creative and out of this world! The first Sunday was sweet potato pancakes, tofu scramble, home made granola, chive spelt scones with a smoked almond gravy, and roasted root vegetables. The second Sunday was Arepas corn cakes with a guacabello topping, chimichurri, black beans, cilantro lime rice and yet more scones....can't wait for more choices! I highly recommend this place and seems to be the only 100% vegan breakfast in town, a great value at $10/plate! I hear lunch and maybe dinners are coming soon.....
Read morePros: good value, cool atmosphere, friendly staff
