100/10 - Edit
This place is amazing! We tried popcorn chicken, loaded fries, Hot Nashville sandwich, original project sandwich and the mac and cheese. All of it was absolutely delicious. The original project reminded me of the Chick-fil-A sandwich! And the Birdy sauce like Cane's sauce. HEAVENLY

Bye Chick-fil-A - Edit
This is the most delicious place! The shakes are our favorite of anywhere. Also note that not all locations are as nice as this one but the food is the same. If you’re picking on to try, go to this location

More vegan junk food (oops, I meant vegan fast food!) - Edit
Was in the area and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the "protein bowl" because it appeared to be the healthiest choice on the screen.
Read moreIt was mostly brown rice that seemed to have been fried, with a few pieces of cauliflower, sweet potato, and perhaps as many as two dozen chickpeas. It was very bland. The fried rice had burned bits at the bottom, see photo.
I also ordered some tots just because everything else at this place is fried and I figured they would be on point with that. I was wrong. Most of the fries were tepid, a few were warmer, and several were cold inside, as if they had been put directly into the frier from the freezer. The tots were far more tasty than the bowl.
One sad point: although I asked the server about canola oil in the bowl before I ordered, I didn't ask about the fries. I later found out that everything in this restaurant is fried in canola oil. Yes, I've read all the canola association's laudatory drivel about how wonderful canola oil is. And yet I still don't want to eat it. Sometime I'm just a cantankerous contrarian.
Two stars is a little generous for this place, but they deserve more than one star for their vegan efforts.
Pros: 100% vegan, Fast, Apparently people love their vegan shakes!
Cons: Bland, Not focused on cleanliness, Everything is fried in canola oil

Fantastic! - Edit
Had the Original Project, tots and a red velvet shake. The burger and tots were really good, but I must say the shake stole the show!
Read moreTook my non-vegan parents there for lunch, and (unprovoked) they said they couldn't tell a difference between their burgers and actual chicken! They enjoyed the shake as well.

Chocolate Shake - Edit
They were very short staff one girl in the front taking orders & making shakes another girl cooking.. service was great considering. The cheeze burger, Nashville hot (too much sauce too sweet) & Buffalo Mac N' Chikn sauce had tons of dill. Nice to have an affordable Vegan restaurant that's not ridiculously overpriced with small portions unlike other establishments. Shakes are delicious!
Read morePros: Affordable , Good portions, Chocolate shake soft served
Cons: Short staff , No tip jar, Too much sauce

Great service and food - Edit
The staff was very friendly, it’s nice to go to a restaurant and not worry about what your ordering. I ordered the chicken and waffles, my husband got the breakfast burrito and we shared the mac & cheese. Everything was so good! We were equally impressed that the cups, lids and dinnerware was all compostable. This is definitely a place that will have return service from us. Finally….a fully plant based restaurant that is local.

Best vegan cheeseburger - Edit
Don’t be fooled by the name, the actual best thing on the menu is the cheeseburger. Don’t get me wrong—the chicken is good, but the cheeseburger is actually probably the best I’ve had in half a decade of veganism.
Read morePros: Cheeseburger: S tier, Chicken sandwich: A tier
Cons: Fried pickles too much breading

Chick Fil A Should Be Scared - Edit
Inside an old Whataburger #Savage. Everything on the menu is great. I was surprised by the burger too. My favs are the nuggets with Birdie sauce, the wrap, and the breakfast sandwich.

Pretty great - Edit
Chipotle Chkn wrap was delicious. I saw another review that said theirs
Read morewas soggy with too much dressing-mine wasn't, it was pretty perfect. I want to go back for their Buffalo Mac N Cheese which is spicy Chkn nuggets & jalapenos topped with vegan mac n cheese on a burger bun. They also have plant based burgers (soy) and oat milkshakes (non dairy)

Vegan comfort food DONE RIGHT - Edit
AMAZING fast food eatery with incredible chicken sandwiches! The buffalo sauce is phenomenal and the bacon is smoky and incredible. Highly recommend the Deluxe sandwich, and the spicy buffalo sandwich (the buffalo Mac and chicken is the next step up with ALL the gooeyness!). Tater tots are fried perfectly and the loaded papas are so tasty as well. Best part - the backstory of this establishment. Kudos to the owner and the incredibly friendly staff!

So excited to have Project Pollo in the Houston vegan scene now. Their prices are phenomenal and the food is so good. Their mission and purpose of putting people over profit is what gets me the most. Go support this delicious establishment.
