Tasty but better with improvements

I’ve been following this place on social media anticipating the day I could try it out. There were so many good options I couldn’t decide what to order but settled in the “fish” basket and bratwurst with onions and peppers.

The food took about 20 minutes which was less time than I expected. The bratwurst was very tasty but loaded so the bun didn’t hold up well and it ended up being very sloppy. Also the onions and peppers didn’t add much with so save your $2.

The katfish basket was a tad disappointing. The mushrooms were fried way too long and the batter seemed to be the only seasoning. In Nashville fish is typically served with white bread, onions, and mustard so that was also missing for me. I do think with a few adjustments and some vegan tarter like sauce, it could be a very tasty selection. The fries and vegan ranch were excellent.

All in all if Happy Cow allowed, I’d give this place 3.5 stars. I am actually looking forward to going back to try the burgers and vings.

Pros: Lots of options , All vegan , Friendly service

Tasty Eats

Got a burger, sausage, & fries. They were all delicious. We didn't try any of the spicy food, but it also looked really good.

Staff was super friendly!

Give this place a try.

Delicious

I was insanely sick (entirely unrelated to the food) when I went here but still enjoyed it. That says something because enjoying food while sick is hard. Gonna have to give it another go when I’m well and in memphis

Pros: Delicious, Nice and personable staff

The burger was just *chef’s kiss* amazing, and the fries were spiced up in a really nice way!

The staff was friendly too!

Wow!! Amazing dinner!

We really enjoyed our meal! We chose to eat in, which was fine, but in the future we will probably take away as everything was packaged for that anyway.

Pros: Vegan soul food—need I say more?, Food was delicious

Cons: Small interior

Fantastic

The best vegan restaurant in town. I brought all my meat eating coworkers in for lunch and PBH blew them away. Fried cauliflower is on point always. Best vegan Mac I’ve ever had. Owner is such a nice guy. Support this business.

One of a kind in Memphis

Everything is vegan, flavorful and absolutely delocious!! Almost everything is made in house (except a beyond meat patty option). The corn dogs are fantastic.. the best I've ever had in my life! I also like the Pecan Meat Philly, BBQ Jackfruit and the Memphis Bella.

They're usually pretty busy around lunch/dinner time, so I recommend going early. They try to be quick but keep in mind they have a small kitchen & everything is cooked fresh. If you have to wait just be patient.. it's well worth it.

The owner RJ is super friendly, kind and very passionate about food.

They also have t-shirts for sale.. if you don't see them just ask.

Fantastic and worth the wait

The food here is amazing! I had the PBH Chicken with BBQ, sweet potato tots, and lemon cake, and they were all wonderful. The people working here are just as fabulous as the food. Keep in mind that there are only a couple of folk working, and everything is made from scratch, so you are going to have a bit of a wait to get your meal, but I promise it will be worth it. I can’t wait for my next trip to Memphis!

Update: it’s now 3 years since my review and this place has only gotten better. They have really sped up the process since they opened, and the food is still amazing!!

The hype is real

Amazing comfort food. Best wings I’ve had yet, hands down. The flavors are spectacular, and when they say “heat”, they mean it!! The taco Mac bowl was delicious. The Fye Junt and wings hit that greasy craving. The baked beans were the best we’ve had yet in the city, even compared to some of the big barbecue spots around here! Can’t wait to come back.

Pros: Not expensive, Amazing flavors, Great service

Cons: Sides come separately , Not much space for dine in

Delicious

Everything we got was saucy and flavorful - the cookout burger and taco mac. We thought we were ordering from the downtown location but ended up having to drive 15 minutes and arrived after closing but the owner was so nice. Everything is cooked to order. Delicious

An absolute jewel!

A must visit when in Memphis. Do not snooze on the sides and be sure to get Mac and Cheese and the Coleslaw. I also had the BBQ Jackfruit and it was absolutely excellent. So many other menu items left to try.

Pros: Great food, Great staff, Good price

Cons: Small space so would be easy to fill up quickly

Fantastic Spot!!

Fabulous, low key, dive spot dining experience!! I went out of my normal work lunch criteria to have some vegan comfort food and man I am glad I did. Extremely friendly staff! Thanks, Paige!

D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!

I visited the city for the weekend a was in search of a vegan spot near me. This place did not disappoint! The first day that I went I couldn't decide what I wanted so I ended up getting the Oyster Mushroom Basket and the Memphis Bella. Babee....everything was on point!!! My husband tried it and he LOVED it! We went back the next day and I got the FYE JUNT. Any non-vegan would enjoy it. The flavors are there!!! Don't sleep on this place....this is the spot! I realized after I had devoured my food that I didn't get any pics...lol

Local black owned gem

If you like comfort food then be sure to check out this gritty gem near the Highland Strip. It's 100% vegan.

I love seeing how hard the staff works to prepare the food, as much of the kitchen is right behind the register.

It's a bit expensive, but I have no complaints about the food and the service.

This is not the place for a salad or other healthy item, this is a tricked out burger joint.

I really wish they were open late on the weekends for post show grub.

Pros: 100% vegan!, Delicious comfort food, Great service

Cons: A bit expensive , Hours a bit too limited
