Wow! - Edit
I chose Mac and cheese as my main the Mac and cheese. Then I chose the cornbread dressing and got two scoops. I had the bread pudding with the rum sauce. Then I got a large brownie to go. I wish I had gotten the collard greens but I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat the carb fest I had ordered. The Mac and cheese was one of the best vegan Mac and cheese I ever ate. The seasoning was great. The cornbread dressing tasted like the filling in a stuffed crab. It was chef's kiss delicious! The bread pudding and the brownie were both great as well. The cornbread dressing was the star of the meal for me. The staff were very nice and friendly.

Food for the soul - Edit
The food was great! Mac and cheese was okay but the jambalaya and Okra gumbo hit the spot. I also got a cornbread to go and it was delicious! The staff was very friendly. Would definitely go back again.

Fantastic, fully vegan soul food - Edit
Absolutely love this place! The establishment is 100% vegan and has a rotating menu every day of the week. I have yet to try something I haven't liked here. The staff are very friendly, prices are reasonable, and the food is of course amazing. It is so rare to be able to find classic New Orleans soul food options like jambalaya, gumbo, mac and cheese, etc. made fully vegan so this place is a real gem and I hope it remains open for a long time.
Read moreOnly real downside is that the location is a bit inconvenient if you're a tourist and don't have a car (it's not really close to any touristy neighborhoods/attractions) and the dining area is a bit small (although with covid happening I am not sure if you can eat inside anyway now). However, I am happy that vegan options are expanding to different parts of the city! In my opinion it is well worth the trip even if it's a little out of the way- you won't find food like this anywhere else and it is sure to please even the most skeptical meat-eaters in your party.

Excellent - Edit
I can not put into words how delicious the food is here. Go. If you don’t, you’re definitely missing out. So far (and I will be back to try other options) I tried the mac and cheese, okra, collard greens, stuffed bell pepper and the cornbread and recommend them all. My personal favorites so far were the collard greens (they burst with flavor and are so perfect), okra, and cornbread... it’s all so good. I never do this, but I ate past being painfully full and still wanted more.

Amazing food and service - Edit
The rotating menu is always delicious and everyone who works there is friendly. We had them cater a large party of mostly non-vegetarians and everyone loved the food. Don’t miss out if you’re visiting town.

What a Gem! - Edit
Our Uber driver recommended it. She insisted that we go & wouldn’t regret it. My carnivore husband & I order the 4-item plates. We got totally different items. Seasoned greens, cauliflower, mushrooms, bread pudding, sweet potato, mac& cheeze, jambalaya, & northern beans. All delicious generous portions. Lovely setting - - open clean. Polite staff. Friendly owner. Great Service! Please franchise this restaurant.

EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED - Edit
Being vegan in NOLA can sometimes feel like you're missing out on the food (heart and soul) of the city. This place offered mac, jambalaya, fried shrooms, yams, jerk cauliflower and much more. You can choose up to 4 things per box and they stuff it full! It was extremely good and we swaddled out after. The menu changes daily but can be found on the web.
Read morePros: Delicious , Massive portions, great value

We ate everything - Edit
We took the Trolly from downtown then walked a mile to get here. It is definitely a destination restaurant but worth the adventure. We ordered 4 of the 4 item containers then found a table and ate family style. I’m not sure if people eat here more because it’s vegan or because it’s so yummy. If you are in new Orleans and you do or don’t eat meat, you should eat here. It’s like Thanksgiving, it’s always about the sides because the Turkey is always gross.

SO GOOD!!! - Edit
If you are a vegan visiting nola, waste no time anywhere else! HONESTLY!! Everywhere else I ate was just okay in comparison. Next time I'm just gonna keep eating here every day I'm in nola!!! I went here on a Monday and had the fried cauliflower which no joke tasted exactly like fried chicken, the immaculate sweet potatoes and incredible mac and cheese. The portion sizes are huge and I had leftovers to bring back for dinner. I would go back JUST to eat here again!
