Fantastic! - Edit
Wonderful food, unique house made non-alcoholic beverages and very friendly and attentive owners, even though it was busy when we went! Entrees and desserts all fresh and delicious. We thought this is much better than Southern V’s food, especially the sides. This is a very small restaurant, so I wouldn’t bring a large group without calling first to ensure they have room. What a great new addition to Nashville’s vegan scene!

Not good - Edit
Unfortunately didn’t like anything on my plate had the soul plate vegetarian
Read moreChicken was very chewy. Hubby had it fried and loved it but texture is better fried should us something different for bar b que. the roll was chewy how do u mess up a dinner roll believe they put in microwave to long. Collard greens had funny after taste and whole plate was sitting in liquid. Greens should have been drained more
On other hand hubby loved his fried chicken plate upon tasting it was very flavorful not chewy and side dipping sauce was delicious. Wish mine had been like that :(
And the place is very very tiny I took about three steps and was in the kitchen. Inside dining area is the size of a very small living room was hard to even get in chairs

Hot Nashville Chik'n - Edit
I was visiting Nashville and wanted to sample some Hot Nashville chicken veggie style. Vege-Licious hit the spot perfectly. I got and devoured the Hot Chik Soul Plate. It included the Hot Chik'n, greens, mac & cheese and fried potatoes. All were delicious, and I had a great Hot Nashville Chik'n experience. Thanks.

Great Surprise - Edit
I was visiting Nashville with some friends and stayed in a VBRO close to this restaurant. As a Vegan, I was thrilled that this restaurant existed so close to my place. The entire group loves it, even those people who are not Vegan. The chef was gracious and patient, providing more descriptions and suggestions for us. Some recommendations: tater tot appetizer and Philli cheese steak platter. I will definitely return to this restaurant. It’s pretty small so take out seems to be a popular option for people as well. I can’t wait to try other dishes.

Flavor City - Edit
My girlfriend and I are new to the area and came across this gold mine! Went in for the brunch items on mind, got the bacon cheese egg burritos with some grits and cheese... After one bite we asked for the menu again....had to order more food due to the flavor being so amazing. Highly recommend this to everyone. All Vegan items menu and you wouldn't even know it was vegan from the flavors. Amazing

Best vegan brunch! - Edit
Was passing through on a road trip and stopped for Saturday vegan brunch. My very picky 9 year old gave it 10 stars (out of 5) and devoured the tofu egg scramble and peaches and cream pancakes with exclamations of joy. I moaned with joy while eating the bacon and cheese breakfast tacos! Blueberry pancakes were also amazing as were the home fries. In the top 3 vegan breakfasts of my life and I’ve been vegan 19 years and lived in California and Atlanta and traveled and eaten in vegan restaurants all over the US and Europe. Can’t wait til my travels take me back to Nashville again! Love you Vege-Licious! Thanks for doing vegan breakfast a solid!
Read morePros: Amazingly yummy!, Nice staff, Outdoor seating available

The lasagna is absolutely amazing, which is what I tried the first time. - Edit
Every time I go, I said I’d try something different, but I just can’t resist. The strawberry cheesecake was delicious as well and the ginger sorrel. Can’t wait to come back home to visit and this will be the first place I’ll come running to.

Delicious Mac - Edit

Mac and cheese was just Nooch - Edit
It was very busy which is usually a good sign. Unfortunately, of all the vegan and veg-option restaurants I have eaten at, this was the worst. I gave three stars because maybe it was an off day. The seitan BBQ in the soulchik was much too hard. I could tell the tater tot appetizer was supposed to have a Monterey jack type flavor, but it was very weak. The salsa tasted like it came from a can. The greens were great! The sweet potatoes were good, but nothing special. Can't say I will give another chance for the price. With all the options around here, I had high expectations.
Read morePros: It's Vegan, Same price point as other vegan options
Cons: Better flavors elsewhere, Kind of generic, nothing exciting

Yummy Soul Food! - Edit
I had the most fabulous vegan soul food here and this is compared to Souley Vegan in Oakland, CA & Chef Babette’s Stuff I Eat in Inglewood (Los Angeles), CA. So excited to be HERE from my home in San Francisco. I ordered the ginger beer to drink and fried chicken plate (half spicy/half reg) with collards, homemade ranch, mac ‘n cheese, potatoes and biscuit for lunch. Amazing! So happy the food wasn’t greasy! Warm vanilla cake drizzled w/chocolate sauce for dessert. Yummy!!! I’ll be back more than once while here for the CMA Music Festival! Thx for a wonderful meal! Come! You will not be disappointed. Bettina, the owner, was so helpful!
Read morePros: Soul food done vegan, Not greasy or overly salted, Great service by owner, Bettina

Pleasantly surprised - Edit
I'm in town for CMA Fest. I have only been vegan for a little over 2 months now. I am a very picky eater. Before going vegan I ate mostly fast food or comfort food and not a lot of vegetables at all. So becoming vegan has definitely presented its challenges. A friend of mine told me to check this place out. I was a little skeptical when I saw the place, but the food here was exactly what I was looking for. It's not fancy or full of "super foods". The plates are not Instagram worthy, but look more like something you would make at home. I was excited to see lasagna on the menu. There was even extra sauce on it without me requesting it. The strawberry cheese cake was warm and moist. I loved it. The menu was basically vegan versions of all the foods I ate before going vegan. Definitely will go back again!
Read morePros: The lady working there was really nice, Homestyle food, Grubhub and takeout available
Cons: Small indoor seating area, Location is unexpected.

Vegan soul junk food. - Edit
I wanted to give more stars. After reading everybody I had high expectations. The food I saw was far away from what I read. I guessed we are spoiled because we are used to organic fresh food everyday and this is not the case. The food is basic, tasted like gmo warmed up and nothing exceptional in what we tried. Lasagna had what looks like canned tomato on the top. Frozen bread on the side, OK mac and cheese. The burger was 6/10.
Read moreThe potatoes were good though, probably the best in what we had. The lady was extremely kind and the sorrel juice was delicious. That is about it. 53 dollar for it..
Skeptical about the 96 reviews 5 stars but this is another debate.
Vege-licious
Thank you for shsring your experience. However we do use fresh vegetables and get a fresh delivery of bread regularly. Thank you for visiting Vege-licious!

Delicious Southern food - Edit
This was a fun stop during our Nashville visit! We wanted to experience some Southern food, and the hot chik'n plate fulfilled that wish. The plate was a generous size and had a great variety of Southern staples. My non-vegan dining partner raved about the mac 'n cheese!
Read moreWe also enjoyed talking to the friendly owner about veganism. The "Eat to Live" art on the wall inside made me really happy!
