Franchise, please? - Edit
I stopped by the Vegan Bar today for a quick lunch. I experienced a lion's mane chicken (not chicken) sandwich...so good! I live in Hazel Crest, so far away. Will you open a joint up near me please?

SOOOOO GOOD - Edit
I love love love the vegan chicken here! Portions are good too! Love the buffalo chicken sandwich! I tried the nachos before and personally im not a fan because it tasted too much like beyond beef (I should’ve asked for no beef!) and im just not a huge fan PERSONALLY but it was still super yummy ! Wish it was closer to me lol

Absolutely delicious every time! - Edit
Absolutely LOVE coming to vegan bar!
Read moreTheir food is fantastic, customer service is outstanding, and their atmosphere has the best vibes! They have a wide variety of delicious breakfast and lunch/ dinner items!
I think my favorite lunch/ dinner item has to be their Lion’s Mane buffalo tenders(they are also available plain or with BBQ!) and they have a large variety of dipping sauces to add to your order as well. I’ve also had some of the sandwiches, burgers, and waffles! The smoothies are also fantastic too. You’ve definitely got to check this place out!
Pros: Wide variety, Fresh ingredients, Friendly staff

Too salty and taste of burnt - Edit
Really friendly service. Food, fried mushroom the coating was tasting burnt and could only taste salt and red hot sauce. Fries were average at best. I genuinely like to promote vegan businesses but it was a very bad experience food wise. I don't know for other items on the menu.

Yessssss. This is the spot. - Edit
I heard about Vegan Bar from a friend and made a special trip to try it for myself. The staff was so welcoming and helpful explaining the menu. I ordered the lion’s mane mushroom chicken tenders. They were PERFECT. To be honest, mushrooms are not my thing, but they absolutely nailed these as a replacement for a real meat chicken tender. It was made fresh and seasoned perfectly. I’m so glad I visited and will absolutely be back.

Omg yes - Edit
I got the lions mane buffalo fried chickn sandwich a couple of weeks ago and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. One of the best tasting and best textured patties I’ve ever had. The fries on the side were great. It’s unfortunate that I was only visiting the area for work and can’t get back there soon enough.

Diversifying Naperville, IL with Darn Good Vegan Food! - Edit
Today I enjoyed my second visit to this Naperville, IL gem. As Chicago-land gears up for the cold weather, Reggie and Renada have added hot and wholesome comfort foods like chili and mostaccioli to the menu. Both of which Reggie generously offered for my husband and I to sample. Great service and great ambiance. I enjoyed the banana blossom fish and fries. My husband devoured the 4 piece oyster mushroom chicken and fries. The chicken and fish were battered, seasoned, and fried to perfection, YUM! We will definitely be returning.

Love this place!! - Edit
I stumbled on the Vegan Bar when I had to order new license plates next door. The owners are very sweet the the food was great. I had a burger, sweet potato fries and a golden turmeric. They were kind enough to give me a sample of the Chik’n nuggets. Everything was great! This is my new go to spot. I can’t wait to try breakfast.

Very disappointing… - Edit
I really wanted to like this places but unfortunately I just can’t. I ordered two Chicago Style Hot Dogs, which took over 30 minutes to prepare. When I finally got them, the buns were soggy and the meat replacement was cold and rubbery. The condiments did not seem fresh and were missing the sport peppers - which they replaced with ketchup!
Read moreI would try it again, but it was a very poor impression the first time.

Oystermushroomlicious! - Edit
I travel often and as an 8.5 year Vegan, I’ll disrupt the most complex of travel plans to sample/support Vegan restaurants. There’s many that serve commercially available products which in fact are vegan, but then there are vegan restaurants which represent the passionate lifestyle through their food (e.g. chik sandwiches made with oyster mushrooms). Yesterday was my first visit and absolutely looking forward to working my way through the menu. I tried the Buffalo Chkn and Cold Buster Elderberry Tea-the tea was super refreshing and the sandwich was fantastic….just make sure you have plenty of napkins. Super clean place and really welcoming staff.

A New Fave - Edit
I'm so happy to find a completely vegan place out in the suburbs! Their menu has a really nice variety of options and my meal was delicious. I especially love that you can order almost the whole breakfast menu all day. I ordered the breakfast sandwich when I went and was very happy with my meal. Will definitely be back!

Good food, odd placement situation - Edit
Went here while we were in town, happy to see a fully vegan restaurant in Naperville! Ordered the nachos, double jalapeño cheeseburger, and avocado burger.
Read moreThe man who took my order must’ve been having a bad day because he didn’t smile once. The woman at the counter was very nice though, although she didn’t take my order. I greeted them both, and took a little time looking at the menu. The man behind the counter seemed agitated that I was taking a while, yet there wasn’t anyone else in the restaurant/line. When I ordered, he didn’t ask if I wanted anything else, just told me the total and held out his hand for my card. Later when two people came in after me, the woman took their order and she asked them if they wanted to sub normal fires for sweet potato fries. I was not offered this option, and I would’ve totally said yes because they are my husband’s favorite! Felt very disappointed with the service from the man, but the woman smiled big when she brought it out for me. I’m not judging the guy! Everyone has bad days, I hope he’s okay, or hope he works in the kitchen from now on if this was a typical day for him.
The restaurant is small, I’m assuming it’s exclusively meant for take out. There are two small tables with three stools. There is no bathroom. The menu is hard to read, as it’s printed kind of small on the electric menu boards on the back wall. I should’ve brought my glasses.
The food was pretty good. The lettuce on both burgers was not the right lettuce though. I think it might have been bad because it was pretty dark and not crisp. The queso on both the jalapeño burger and the nachos was phenomenal, however the chips in the nachos were pretty soggy, even though we ate in the car quickly after picking it up. The avocado burger was very bland, and the burger itself was very thin. I know it’s a beyond burger, but when we make ours at home they are much thicker, so I’m assuming they use a patty masher/spatula. Fries were a little too soft for our liking. Our order cost about $45.
I would be opening to try it again, but only if I’m in the area. I don’t see it, at this point, as a restaurant I would go out of my way for. They are still new though! I am open to giving them time to get their groove going.
Pros: Queso, Woman owner, Proudly vegan
Cons: Expensive , No bathroom, Male owner (could just be a bad day for him!)
