I liked it - Edit
Corner of Logan and Mary St. I like the feel and look of this place. Casual. A bar area and window high top seat in addition to table seating. I can see hanging out here for a while. Staff was helpful in what to order. Service was quick. Everything we tried was tasty. I'd come back for sure. It's so great to have another all vegan restaurant in town.

Top Notch Vegan Junk in Louisville - Edit
Update: As of August 2026, Shahar now serves meat.
Read moreWhat a joy to have Shahar back and better than ever. Since moving and reopening, Shahar has expanded everything that made them great.
Shahar has a larger seating area now, with bar and liquor for those inclined. However, the highlight of this restaurant for me has always been the food. Focusing on bringing standard American food vegan, it won’t be your healthiest stop, but if will be your heartiest.
I ordered the vegan chicken waffle sandwich that flew past expectations. The waffle was akin to a portable Liege waffle that brought hat extra sweet and ease to some flaky seitan goodness.
Every time I am in town, I always prioritize visiting Shahar (at least once). If you are vegan or vegan-adjacent I implore you to visit Shahar and have a sloppy good time.

Now serving... Meat. - Edit
Sharar makes such good food. The seitan chicken sandwich is so good.. And they have the best fries! But I'm super disappointed that they decided to add animal meat to their menu. What an awful decision. Just another example of someone choosing capitalism over ethics.

Disappointing - Edit
This place is no longer all vegan. Previously I would have said that it was a little overpriced for vegan fast food but worth it for an all vegan menu. Not sure I will revisit but definitely disappointed to lose an all vegan restaurant. I do hear that the meat options are offered at a lower price

NO LONGER FULLY VEGAN MENU! - Edit
Update: Sadly, this restaurant has added animal meat to their menu as of August 2026 and is no longer a fully vegan restaurant. They also no longer do comedy shows.
Read moreNo other burger is close to as good as Shahar’s! Even my non-vegan friends have said it’s the best burger they have ever had. It’s the gold standard for vegan junk food. Their new location is super fun, they now have a bar, and have comedy shows once a month! Owners are super friendly. Happy to have such a wonderful vegan business in Lou!

Vegans Beware! - Edit
Shahar has ADDED MEAT TO THE MENU.
Read moreHonestly as a food tourist, finding and supporting 100% vegan restaurants plays a big part in traveling. When another vegan suggested Shahar, I just had to check it out, and let me tell you, every time I stopped by, the food was amazing!!
That is until August 2026.
Shahar has ADDED MEAT TO THE MENU.
I’m disappointed, I’m incredibly sad, and I’m never coming back.
Don’t sell out folks.
Cons: Added meat to their menu

Disappointed as well. It was disappointing to find out from the press and not the owners.

Check it out! - Edit
My husband and I stopped here on a roadtrip from Michigan to Tennessee, and we were not disappointed! I ate the loaded stack with tots SO fast I didn’t get a picture. That was my favorite thing! My husband loved the hot chicken sando. The only thing I wasn’t in love with was the Mac and cheese. It tasted as if soy milk was used and the sweetness of it is a bit off-putting for me. All in all, would recommend! Great service and a cute restaurant.
Read morePros: Fully vegan, Comfort food, GET THE LOADED STACK

A vegan Louisville staple - Edit
Comfort/junk food to the max, but it’s good. Burgers, cheesesteaks, milkshakes, onion rings, etc. all vegan. They also serve coffee and alcohol. I’m so glad they opened this new location, and this is an iconic place for any vegan in Louisville.

EAT HERE - Edit
Very well-done vegan diner/comfort food. We had the jalapeño smash burger, chicky sando, and fries. The meal was delicious, very hearty, and good value. Corey was behind the bar and we really enjoyed talking with him. Super cool neighborhood as well - lots of other bars, shops, and cafes. We will definitely be back!
Read moreHeads up - the kitchen is vegan but the bar is not entirely vegan (though the bartender was knowledgeable of this).

So good! - Edit
Don't expect health food. It's definitely vegan comfort food all the way. Great soy milkshake. Chkn sando was awesome. Tots are the best I've ever had

Update! They are no longer all vegan. They serve fucking beef and chicken. Guess no matter what, you gotta always check the reviews before you order a burger from your favorite ALL VEGAN burger place 🙄 0 stars for this bullshit. But if you get a real vegan burger and tots, 5 stars still. Just be careful out there, nothing is safe or sacred anymore

Great plant-based restaurant with comfort classics - Edit
I ordered a Loaded Stack and had a bunch of the Chicken & Waffle Sando, both hit the spot and were packed with flavor and texture. With food like that, I had to have a shake as well - the best vegan one I've had to date. My only minor complaint is that the restaurant (perhaps intentionally) didn't call out that absolutely everything is plant-based.

Amazing!!! Must visit this place. - Edit
Cute building, large menu, absolutely delicious food at reasonable prices, super friendly staff, lots of parking. I had a breakfast sandwich and my hub had a burger. Good toppings and yummy sauce for crispy fries. The tater tots with tofu and a sauce were soooooo good. The milkshake was finished in about a minute.

Best Burger Ever - Edit
I had the O Burger and Cookies and Cream Milk Shake. I have always argued that the best tasting food is the messiest food. This Burger proved me right. This is a vegan bar with comfort food. If you are looking for healthy whole foods, don't be silly and come here to complain. This is not the place for you. BUT, if you are looking for a perfectly sinful mouth-gasm that makes you feel like you may never need to eat again, go here.
