it's all good - Edit
You know how when you go out to eat as a vegan that you have to pick and choose and maybe assume that you might be eating vegetarian instead? That's why I love walking into this place because I know I as safe.

Expected more... - Edit
I've been waiting a LONG time to travel to the "dirty south" for some good ole-fashioned vegan soul food. But after tasting vegan soul food in California and Chicago, I was left a little unimpressed. The vegan country fried seitan, greens, and sweet potatoes were VERY good, don't get me wrong (the greens may be amongst the best vegan greens I've ever had), but that's about where the "soul" ended. I guess they just need more options. The fried vegan tofu cutlets were...blah, as was the tartar sauce. I ended up throwing it away. The eggless salad was tasty, as were the onion rings. They were out of ice cream when I went, so I was disappointed that I didn't get a chance to try that. The staff was friendly enough and the area seems very hip. There is parking available in the church lot across the street, which was a BIG help because I was gonna park illegally until I saw that sign. I also agree with another review that I saw; this place is a bit dated... but I got my food to go, so I didn't have to worry about the silverware that was sitting on the bare table. O_O

mixed review- order with caution - Edit
The mac and cheese is delicious and the onion rings are out of this world. The first time I ate here I ate so much I could barely walk. The food was fantastic and I loved eating some of my old favorites like cornbread and mac and cheese. My husband and little kids liked the food as well.
Read moreThe next time we ate there I brought my extended family. The food was disappointing. Few of us finished our plates. The non-vegetarians in the group don't want to go back.
I will absolutely go back but I will order the soup, cornbread, onion rings, and mac and cheese. I know it's not the most balanced meal but hey we only go to Atlanta on vacation and on vacation meals don't have to be balanced, do they?
Pros: All vegan, vegan mac & cheese!!!
Cons: Some food is great some is not, slow service

Awesome. Just awesome. - Edit
As soon as a friend told me this place had "mac and cheese," I knew I had to go. And wow, she was right. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say this is THE best macaroni and cheese I've ever had, even from back in my pregan days. I also had the country fried steak, which was great. Salty and heavy, but oh-so-comforting. I finished it all off with some ice cream, which even my vegetarian husband agreed rivaled dairy ice cream. I will definitely return!

good filling food - Edit
We enjoyed our food very much. And we had good service on the night we were there - they were friendly, fast, and refilled water quickly; so no complaints.

Great vegan Mac N Cheese - Edit
I recently ordered food to go here. When I opened my box of take out it was filled to the brim with awesome food. I had the mac N cheese, greens, sweet potatos & a salad. This place has my favorite mac N "cheese ever! The greens were iceberg or romain (I prefer mixed greens) but there severely amazing dressing made up for that. I think the food was a bargain & I will definitely be back for more!

Mmm, soul food - Edit
Leigh at Cosmo's vegan shop said that if I visited one restaurant in Atlanta, it should be Soul Veg. I'm so glad I took her advice. Soul Veg offers good honest food and their menu is 100% vegan. The items are not terribly healthy, as this is soul food cooking. I ordered a three vegetable plate: vegan mac and cheese, collard greens, and broccoli. The vegan mac and cheese is extraordinary - make sure to order it. The collard greens were cooked tender and well seasoned. I also had sweet potato pie with a scoop of vanilla for dessert. Pure heaven.
Read moreThe atmosphere and the service are somewhat lacking, but don't miss out on Soul Veg. The vegan mac and cheese alone is worth the visit.
Pros: delicious food, variety, friendly staff
Cons: Atmosphere, Attentiveness of service

really good - Edit
First time to Soul Veg in Atl. Appreciated the simple decor, friendly staff. Usually avoid seitan (kalebone) but I was intrigued so I tried their sandwich. It was really good. I ordered the platter so it came with an appetizer salad w/yummy dressing & very fresh veggies. My omnivore dining partner ordered the Jerusalem stirfry which looked good - lots of fresh mixed veggies on brown rice. It's so nice to go somewhere & actually have more than one or two choices for vegan. The menu says "all vegan". The service was casual but I was not offended. Food came out in a timely manner. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Atl. Wish there was a Soul Veg in Boston!!!

Aesthetically, this location is much nicer than the other Soul Vegetarian's I've been to; however, the service is not as nice. I ordered a sandwich with Seitan on it and asked for soy cheese sauce to be added to it. She said it would cost $1.25 to add it [none of the others I know charge for this], so I paid to have it added. When I got my sandwich there was a dab of it on there, so I asked for more. The waitress said, "Are you prepared to pay another $1.25 for it?" I said no and that I didn't think it was right and wasn't going to pay another $1.25 for more sauce. She gave me more anyway [but I didn't realize I got charged twice for it until I was long gone from there]. I also ordered potato salad and I didn't think it tasted very good. The sandwich was good, but I really think you pay for more than what you get here.

An Atlanta Staple -- Must Try!!! - Edit
Soul Veg is for vegetarians who like home-cooked southern food, vegan style, with a healthy side order of religion. If you can get past the African religious overtones, this is the place to go for vegan mac-n-cheese, collard greens, sweet potatoes, country fried seitan steak, homemade veggie burgers, etc. Their recipes are one-of-a-kind.
Read moreThe food is amazing, the service is friendly. The decor could use an overhaul. It's definitely not the place for a romantic night out (try Cafe Sunflower) and Soul Veg could use a remodel, but you can't argue with the food nor the price. Great value here.
Don't forget to buy their cookbook and try the homemade vegan ice cream!!!
Pros: original, delicious food, great value, yummy vegan ice cream
Cons: bland decor, flourescent lighting

I just want to add:
Read moreI have never been to the other Soul Veg location in Atlanta, only the one on N. Highland. I don't know how or if they differ. For instance, the Soul Veg in Washington, DC is completely different and is cafeteria style (not sit down with a waiter).

worth a try - Edit
This place is fun if you are a vegan hankering for soul food. There's not much color on the typical plate (unless you order the broccoli side) as its all about the mac and "cheese" and fried tofu wedges with tartar sauce, etc, but it's tasty and filling. They use nutritional yeast in pretty much everything, which is good if you like it, not so much if you don't. Salads are nice and fresh. Service is on the "mellow" side.

good food - Edit
the food is great. we specifically included in our travel plans. The only thing I never seem to like is the mac and cheese. Too heavy on the nutritional yeast and that is problematic for my system. The greens and beans are great and the salad dressing...yum. the staff on my visits has been less than warm and we felt like we were imposing. but like one of the other reviewers said: everybody has an off night. I found the portions to be large. And I like to eat!!!!!

Worth trying - Edit
I was so excited to find this restaurant; perhaps I was doomed to be disappointed. The place was clean and lovely and the service was friendly and good. I chose the night's special: bbq tofu, collards, mac-n-"cheese", cornbread, salad. The salad rocked, and the food tasted great at first... and I hate to be a naysayer but I was nauseous for hours afterwards. I suggest trying something else other than the bbq tofu; it was silken tofu and the sauce was overwhelming strong. I didn't care for the mac-n-chz either. The collards were tasty, but the cornbread was crumbly and hard on the bottom. Everyone has an off night, so I'll try them again, just not anytime soon. My dinner, after tip, was $18 - and since I normally cook vegetarian southern soul food, and know many places where one can get good fresh veggies w/out dairy at a fraction of that, I'm just not sure it was worth it. Sorry!

This Stuff Will Keep You Eating Healthy - Edit
Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! While on short vacation I ended up here twice. The neighborhood was nice, the house salad dressing was so good I asked if they sold it (Actually they do but you have to order it 24 hours in advance). The Mac and Cheese was soo good you had to ask if Your own grandmother was in their kitchen. They greens were also very lively and not overcooked. The portion sizes are nice enough to take some home for later but if you have a chance try some of their ice cream.

Great food, atmosphere needs work - Edit
I envy Atlanta for having not one but TWO of these amazing restaurants! I frequent Atlanta several times a year & have never eaten at any of the many vegetarian restaurants it has to offer because I can't miss out on a meal from vegetarian soul! The food is indeed delicious, but their service leaves something to be desired. Service is usually slow when it comes to receiving menus & having orders taken. It seems to always take a good five minutes just to get a glass of water on the table. Refills are few & far between every time I go. Even when the restaurants is nearly empty, service is slow. But hey, every restaurant has its quirks & if I have to repeatedly ask for a glass of water while waiting for some of the best vegan food I've ever tasted, then so be it!
Read moreIf you are ever in town on a Sunday, make sure to stop by for their brunch; when I was fortunate enough to have it, we were served vegan pancakes, scrambled tofu, kalebone patties & a side of sprouts & tomatoes-absolutely wonderful!
Be prepared to shell out about $35-$45 for dinner for two (including one dessert)-this may be cheap in some areas, but in my hometown of Memphis, veg food is typically much cheaper.
Do check this place out if you can, you won't be sorry!
Pros: Great food, vegan ice cream!, Cornbread!
Cons: slow service, wee bit pricey

Hello Friend - Edit
We go regularly for the BBQ Kalebone dinner. The plates are huge and it is so very tasty good. I get mine with a side of corn on the cob and collards. My wife prefers the mac-and-"cheese". The whole menu is vegan. We got dessert once, and it wasn't bad, but since they feed us so much food, we don't usually get dessert. We go regularly and the wait staff is always very friendly. We go as often as we can.

Awesome! - Edit
Once you try the food at Soul Vegetarian you will never quite eat at the same level you did before. It is mind blowing how good the food is. They introduced me to new ingredients and things like kalebone and carob shakes. I became hooked and bought their cookbook so that I could have more soul at home! A very kitchy environment with great service and heaping plates of food for a low price. Delicious mac-n-cheese.
