Vegan soul food - Edit
All vegan restaurant. I didn’t visit them in person but rather ordered food through DoorDash. I enjoyed the crabcake the most.

Brutal - Edit
I know having grown up in Baltimore that the city is run down like a lot of American cities. My experience with vegan food in trips to Baltimore have been at best subpar. There seriously is a lack of anything good vegan in the area. Someone prove me wrong. This restaurant is located in a run section but you would hope the inside would be inviting. While the table may have seemed clean, the owners should be very shamed of the presentation. The inside is as run down as the outside. What is it with vegan restaurants in Baltimore being so nasty inside. When you eat out at an establishment, at the very least you should feel comfortable and not gross. The food was brutal the best Mac in cheese in Baltimore according to their advertisement is an embarrassment to Mac n cheeze. It was an oily mess and just had. I real flavor. The crab cake sanwhich was oil cheesy mess as well. Who puts cheeze on a crab cake sandwhich. There was very little old bay flavor and looked unappealing. The owners of this establishment need to rethink the restaurant experience as this just isn’t it. I try vegan restaurants everywhere and the trend in Baltimore is so disappointing🤮
Read moreCons: Gross interior/exterior, Oily food, No real vibe, just a machine where you order

Silly Good! - Edit
phenomenal loaded vegan mac, and peanut butter chocolate bar for dessert. seems like a place where people mostly order to-go, though there is seating. i can imagine this place was in its prime pre-pandemic, and could use a little love. definitely worth checking out!

Best mac I've had - Edit
I'm obsessed with the mac here, although you may not like it if you don't like herbs. I do, and I think this has a lot of flavor for it. The vegan cheese steak is also incredible BUT it is very saucy and if you're getting take out that means the bread will be very messy and soggy by the time you get home. I recommend eating it there if you get the cheesesteak sub. For takeout, stick to the loaded mac or something similar that won't get soggy.
Read morePros: Tons of flavor, Perfectly seasoned, Never bland
Cons: Too expensive, Too saucy, which can make food soggy for takeout

Yummy! - Edit
Refocused Burger with bacon and cheese was delicious! Such a large burger I needed to use a fork to eat it! My husband loved the mac and cheese (both on his burger and on the side!).

So good! - Edit
Great fast-food style soul food. Everything is amazing, but as other reviewers have mentioned, the Mac and cheese is truly the star of the show.

Craving killer - Edit
This place has some of the best vegan “fast” food. We got the loaded cheese steak fries, crab cake sandwich, chicken sandwich, Mac n cheez, truffle parm fries, fried shrimps and cookies. Everything was AMAZING except the shrimps. The flavor was good but the texture was not for us. The Truffle fries were so crisp and flavorful. Chicken sandwich was on point! We added bbq and onion. Mac n cheez was on a whole-notha- level. So flavorful and creamy. Not your standard yellow American Mac. It’s very well seasoned almost gives pesto vibes. Loaded fries…… I can’t even. They were so warm and creamy but the fries were still crispy. Everyone working there is so kind too. I would literally move to Baltimore for this food.
Read morePros: Black owned and operated , The food is 🔥, Customer service on point.

Upscale fast food - Edit
Best mac and cheese in Baltimore by quite some distance (all vegan), likewise excellent vegan crab cakes. Unusual vibe inside - kind of like a fast food restaurant where you order at the counter, but also has a bar. I usually get the food to go then walk 2 minutes to St. Mary's Park, which is really nice (also where Bike Party usually starts, so hitting Refocused before that on the last Friday of every month is a must).

Dishonest ownership - Edit
Went to an event organized by this restaurant's owner and felt that it was misrepresented ($20 entrance fee x2 and barely any food). I had traveled to come to this event from over an hour away and was STARVING. Within 5 minutes of arriving I was standing in a LINE of disappointed customers asking very nicely for their money back, but he refused ALL of us. Most expensive forkful of food I've ever had. Vowed never to spend a dime in his restaurant if this is how he treats customersm

Well-done Junk - Edit
While it's novel to get a deep-fried battered patty and nice to get fries you know are truly vegan (ie vegan fryer given vegan establishment), the menu is so disappointing: it's plantmeat and white flour, with a slice of tomato or leaf of lettuce thrown in. Basically, it's the vegan fast food. And I eat it occasionally, but then I feel I need to avoid it for weeks to restore proper nutrition haha.
Read morePros: vegan establishment, fun atmosphere, ease of ordering (/online)

good quick food - Edit
great but a little pricey for what it is. it has a fast food feel (though takeout only during covid might be somewhat responsible for that) and probably involves some store bought fake meats etc., as other reviews have mentioned, but the chicken in the chicken wrap was very crispy and it had a flavorful sauce. the mac and cheese side was creamy and uniquely flavored with herbs. no daiya detected.
Read morePros: very friendly and attentive staff, covid safe procedures, delicious and filling
Cons: somewhat pricey for basically fast food

Will come again - Edit
The food was good. However, there were some mistakes with the order. The great part was the owner refund the things I didn't get. So, I will give it another try.

Yummy! - Edit
We got chicken sandwich, cheesesteak on a roll, crab cake sandwich, Mac and cheese, and fried shrimp. The sandwiches were GREAT (Chicken & crab cake especially)!! The Mac and cheese was good, but not super cheesy. As a vegan I liked it, but thought the one I make at home is better... the fried shrimp were just imitation shrimp and the breading wasn’t thick. Still giving 5 stars because the sandwiches were SO FREAKIN GOOD.

Customer Service Needs Work - Edit
My family and I were in town for a few days from Georgia (this experience happened 8/28/20) and were looking for a good spot for some vegan food. This was not our first choice (we originally were going to a spot inside Lexington market- that may not be the name anymore but that’s what it was called years ago when I lived in MD and worked at the DNA lab across the street).
Read moreWhen my daughter and I walked in, a guy was sitting at the counter evidently on the phone taking an order. He looked at us and continued to sit in silence listening to the caller for FIVE MINUTES. I could see two people in the back who weren’t doing anything and finally after making eye contact with a female in the back, she came to the front and said something to the guy about taking my order. Eventually he put the call on hold and took our order. Honestly that is the only negative thing I have to say about this place. I opted not to get anything but my daughter ordered their “cheezesteak sub” and chocolate chip cookies. She loved the sub and thought the cookies were “ok”. I would have given 3 stars because good customer service is EVERYTHING to me but my daughter insisted I give them 4. I believe in second chances so we may try again when we’re in town.

Chick’un sandwich! - Edit
Stopped here after another vegan place was closed. So glad I did!!
Read moreChick’un sandwich was awesome! Crispy! (Next time I’ll ask if they can add a spicier sauce to it.)
Ordered loaded mac to try. Delicious too, but after the sandwich, too full to eat much of it. Leftovers for later! Winning!
It was crowded, but guy at the front was very nice and apologetic. Don’t apologize for being busy! They were hustling to get orders out, so can’t fault them for it at all. I wait 60 mins for a 60 ride at Disney, I can wait a bit for great vegan food. Worth the wait!
Pros: All vegan , Good food , Modern, clean

Decent.. - Edit
It’s a bit harder to rate places during covid because they aren’t able to offer you the normal / full experience. I ordered take out in person. When i got there it took a minute for the staff to notice me. No one else was there as a customer at the time. The person who did was super nice and helpful. Food came out pretty quick. My breading didn’t stick to my shrimp like shown in another picture on here. I used to buy the Yves ones when they were out and dig them but yes it’s an acquired taste or texture! I liked the cocktail sauce. My philly wrap was pretty bland, would pick something else if I went again.
Read morePros: Good selection of food , Vegan shrimp! , Vegan anything! Nice menu boards too.
Cons: Everything is pricy these days I guess but, yeah , Bland wrap , Covid, but that’s not their fault!

TRY THE COOKIES - Edit
Me and my husband were roadtripping down from CT on the way to NC and had to stop off the highway to this amazing black owned vegan restaurant!! Food came out super fast and absolutely delicious. My hub is not vegan and he said the choc chip cookies were the best cookies be ever had period. Also; the mac is amazing! Vegan chik sandwich is absolutely massive, a bit greasy but definitely satisfying! I still have to try the vegan wings and philly ( we are so stuffed from the chik sandwich) but i bet theyll be amazing
Read morePros: Affordable, Fast , Delicious
