Good vegan food from this small spot

First time at this location. I double parked outside and ran inside to pick up my order which I had called ahead for. It was a Sunday and I learned that they have a Sunday brunch menu and they do not offer anything off of their regular menu during that time. Ordered the Southern style grits with grilled veggies as a side. Enjoyable. Ordered the breakfast burrito and the summer squash omelette. Very much enjoyed the summer squash omelette more than the breakfast burrito. My wife agrees that is one to repeat. Friendly service. Food was ready. Would very much enjoy coming back to this location 

Update May 2024:
Back again. This time I had their spicy cheeky wings. Tasty. Good portion size. If I could change one thing it would be to have them into smaller bite size portions - but I did enjoy. Severs with a couple slices of carrot and celery. Also had their culture club deluxe. This was HUGE. It was also very good. I choose to have the side of garlic mashed potatoes rather than the chips and I was not disappointed at all.

Hit or Miss

First time we got to try the brunch menu. I enjoyed my Vegan BLT, but unfortunately the grits were just inedible. The Migas was pretty good, but difficult to eat, and we probably won't get it again. It was nice to have some pancakes, and the fruit was delicious. The seating is very limited inside, and we ended up having to sit outside in some chilly weather (might I suggest a heater?), but service was decent. We've been here a few times in our travels to Chattanooga, and we always find something we like, but it can be hit or miss.

Pros: All vegan with brunch

Cons: Limited inside seating

Fun

I stopped on a long road trip and got something for lunch and dinner. I liked the sandwich but couldn’t get past one bite of the sweet potato tacos. I had assumed it would be chunks of roasted sweet potatoes but no, it was just mashed sweet potatoes inside of a corn tortilla. That went in the trash.

Pros: Lots of options, all fully vegan , Great service , Funky atmosphere

Cons: Who puts mashed potatoes on a tortilla?

Yummy and accessible

It was easy to find this restaurant, and the server was very helpful. We came here specifically because we were told that the collards were amazing, and they were delicious. We got a Reuben and a mushroom walnut burger. Both were great. The mashed potatoes with gravy was the showstopper. It was a great meal.

Pros: Variety and all vegan menu, Customer service, Location

So many options, great service

I was passing through Chattanooga and stopped for lunch. The entire menu is vegan. I had the bbq sandwich- I went with the tofu option vs the seitan. Sandwich was great, but what really blew my mind was the side of garlic mashed potatoes. The service was great. I could tell the server was really busy, but they did a great job of taking care of everyone and seemed very knowledgeable about menu items.

Pros: 100% vegan menu, Great service, Great food at a reasonable price

Nice little place

Food was good, and the vibe was nice. Wasn't too busy when I came during off hours and had a great chat with the staff. Will visit again if I'm ever back in town!

Awesome brunch!

Love the vibe and food here. Vegan brunch starts at 11am. We enjoyed the French toast (best ever) and the Daily Grind.

Felt bad for our Omni guests

Looks like we are in the minority here but we didn’t love the food. We came here with Omni friends because they were told they’d love it and wouldn’t know it was vegan. Sadly, they did not like the burrito they tried at all - no one even finished it. We had the nachos, which were okay, and the wings had a good taste but were very spongy. We were only in town for a week but didn’t want to go back and definitely wouldn’t want to bring anymore non-vegan friends here

Fun spot

We come here whenever we're in Chattanooga. I like the laid-back vibe, the menu is extensive and varied and the food is always good. The Panhandle Tofu is delicious, as is the Mushroom Walnut burger. Friendly service. Just a good experience all around.

Pros: It's all vegan

Fabulous!

An absolute oasis in meaty Chattanooga where elsewhere even the burger buns contain milk… This is a wonderful place playing chilled reggae beats and only serving up delicious homemade vegan food. I opted for the Reuben which was really fantastic. My cousin had red pepper and hummus wrap which was huge and juicy. I’d love to go back and try everything! They also have a great range of non alcoholic beers and I tried a new lemon one which was delicious. The waitress was really lovely.

Pros: Everything is vegan and homemade , Delicious food, Lovely staff and great music

Great, eclectic food spot

In town for a few days from Atlanta and stopped by here for lunch. My husband and I split the spicy seitan wings to start, then split the club and each got a side (Caesar and sweet spuds). We were happy with all of it! Would love to come back and try out other things on their menu.

Get the dusted seitan

I hurt myself with seitan (and tofu) and I will be back to do it again soon. Delicious, and a rather large menu with all kinds of goodies, from greasy diner food to quality salads to excellent rice bowls (try the Popeye).

Pros: Tasty af, Tons of options, Chill atmosphere

Meh.

Service was great, the space is cute and clean. But the food was not flavourful or special, especially for the price. I would not come here again unless they change the menu.

Pros: Good cider and beer selection

Cons: Expensive , Sunday has a limited menu, Food is nothing special

Sluggos is the best

We used to go to the Pensacola location all the time and we were stoked to try the Chattanooga location. It was just like I remembered it. The food is good the people are great and the atmosphere is cozy

It was alright

Food was good; nothing to come back for though. We had an appetizer, two meals there and a meal to-go for $40. Asked for no onion, but my meal was loaded with it anyways. Burger with added “bacon and cheese”: warning, don’t expect a slice of cheese, but a blob of liquid. Making it impossible eating by hand. It was a mess!
Overall, it was ok. We will not return.

Pros: All vegan menu

All-naturale

Cute. Food is very healthy, whole, and simple (in a good way). Minimal spice and salt, it seemed - very all-naturale. Lovely variety and options! Was especially thrilled to see all the NA beer options. Just wished they offered more sugar-free tea or bubbly options. Worth a visit for sure.
