Best fast food EVER - Edit

This place is awesome! Salads are great, the lemon-tahini dressing is out of this world. The Philly "cheese steak" sandwich is insanely good- seitan that's out of this world delicious, made vegan without the cheese. The falafel wrap is delious as well. Get a black bean brownie- an amazing vegan dessert!! Not a huge fan of the hummus wrap- the hummus is delicious don't get me wrong, I just prefer their other items. I've never seen the place crowded- my husband and I usually split 3 items and a brownie and it's around $20/25.

Pros: Healthy drive thru!, The Philly cheese steak is vegan!, Great prices

Cons: Limited seating is outdoors only, Not open late

Really liked the Korean BBQ wrap and the Falafel wrap. The couscous slide was very tasty too.

Yummy! - Edit

This place was great! It was really fast, and the staff knew right away what was vegan vs veg. I had the philly minus the cheese, and it was delicious! I was really excited to try the peanut salad, but the pasta was a bit undercooked. Other than that, I would stop again!

Pros: Great flavors, Fast

Good Stuff - Edit

The food here is good and well priced. It is awesome to have fast food that is vegetarian. I would prefer that they were better informed about what vegan ingredients are, and have more true vegan options, using vegan sugar, ketchup, etc. Great place though.

Pros: Fast, Great tasting

Veggie Drive Thru!! - Edit

Want something tasty and isn't raw fruits or vegetables on the go? This is your place! This One thing you have to remember is you are paying for convenience. If you had time to go home and create your own vegetarian/vegan you could. But for options on the go, it doesn't get much better than Veghead.

The seaweed salad was amazing! The 'steak and cheese' was very good, even though I regretted the health chose later.... My wife had the dirty rice which she really enjoyed.

Check it out!

Pros: Convenient

Vegan Fast Food! Love it. - Edit

I love the Hummus/Avocado Wrap and the Falafel and the Korean BBQ Tempeh has an awesome sauce... also, seems like most days they have a Special (sometimes vegan, sometimes not) and delicious soups. How Fabulous to have healthy, vegan fast food!
A more expansive menu would be even nicer.

Great idea! - Edit

I think it's a great idea to have a healthy fast food option for once! It's expensive and tastes good. I got the vegan bbq tempeh wrap and it was fantastic.

Pros: fast, inexpensive, yummy

Cons: somewhat limited vegan options

VegHead's Drive Thru - Edit

I ordered a Mountain burger (vegan) and a brownie (also vegan) and got the pair for under $13. The burger was great: a tasty patty cooked just right on a nice bun with L & T; and the brownie was rich and smooth.

OK, so the "food" part of "fast food" was fine; but guys, you're aching me with your slow service. I arrived exactly at noon on a weekday, but it took 17 minutes to get my burger-and-brownie order. There were several cars lined up at the drive-thru window, but a few at the back gave up and left. As far as I could see, there were three people working inside: either more people are needed, or more pre-lunch-crowd prep should be done to speed things up. If this is fixed, the place has a bright future.
