Take-out

Opened summer 2015 a vegan casual food restaurant near the MARTA station. Hours are irregular at this time so must call ahead! On the menu are items like veggie burgers, seasoned jackfruit, tacos, chik-n sandwiches, chimichangas, chik-n & waffles, and even a raw collard wrap. Black-owned. Reported closed December 2020.

Amazing

My husband and I are there about a year ago. I had the chili cheese fries and he had the philly. All is vegan. Staff was great and friendly. The place is in not so great part of town, BUT is so worth it. My husband and I love hole in the wall type places. Atmosphere was great as well.

Pros: Yummy food, Friendly staff, Great atmosphere

Delicious food

The burgers at viva la vegan are consistently delicious. I recently tried their honey hot cauliflower and also fell in love. Their menu is diverse and has something for everyone.

Pros: Lots of options

Got off-menu suggestion

Overall, everyone but one of our party liked their food. (I think he didn’t know what to expect from what he was ordering). Mine though—mine was amazing! Down to the sauce (I selected their homemade ranch). I don’t think what I ordered is on the menu anymore, but Corinna at the register takes me through to something delicious.

Thank you!

Pros: Great recommendations with yummy results, Finally, yummy chicken nuggets, Large portion size

Cons: Expensive for a big family (2 adults and 4 kids), A lot of oil, A bit of a wait

Great vegan food.

The Po boy definitely lives up to the hype. One of the best restaurants in Atlanta.

Great food

Since I was in the south I ordered a shrimp po boy, fried green tomato burger and got the ignorant chris for later. Everything was delicious. They had tons of options to choose from

When I have a taste for something southern, I crave their shrimp po boy! It’s so good and soy free!

Love!

The menu is massive + heartfelt. I had the shrimp po' boy + oreo cheesecake. Delicious, wonderful food! So glad I stopped here - highly recommended. To go containers are disposable so bring your own tupperware + utensils. Sometimes very busy, so call ahead + order.

Pros: Massive selection, Friendly staff, Parking

I'm not sure

Ok, so let me start with the service. The men that run this place absolutely amazing, this is why I support them. They care for the people they serve and treat everyone with kindness. Once I ate in and could not finish the food (side note: they give you alot) l asked the brother to put it in a to go box. Well, it got busy and they forgot about me. Needless to say they throw my food away. The brother really felt bad I waited so long and then them chucking my food he say next time you come in its on me. Thinking that i can order the same thing and he got it. Noooo next time I went I ordered three things and he paid for it and gave me a free piece of vegan cheese cake.

This is about the food. It's a good idea, however, the food is really for a person transitioning into veganism. It's FAST FOOD. They have a non soy and soy menu, they have some raw dishes so they are trying to bring healthy eating home. What I had was good but for me because I eat like a squirrel it was like five meals for the price of one.

Pros: these guys are very caring and have above great , Service. Food is very good as well.

Cons: location. it was a little hard to find parking but, For the care these men show to the community it is, Worth every bit of it.

Vegan Comfort Food

This is a great place to pick up some good food that’ll fill you up at a fair price. I agree with others that it is certainly not the healthiest - a good bit of the menu consists of fried and/or processed food. That said, the food is good... really good.

Love it

It’s not exactly healthy, but it’s so darn good. I consider it vegan comfort food. I love their honey cauliflower

Delicious comfort food

This was the first place we found open on New Year's Day after our flight to Atlanta. We were STARVING and sleep-deprived and this food brought us back to life!! The place doesn't look impressive from the outside, and there isn't much seating inside, but it's a cool vibe and amazing food. Definitely worth checking out. Fishless po' boy was SO good, so were the bbq cauliflower wings.

Delicious food huge portions

Had the jack fruit based Philly cheese steak sandwich. It was so wet I couldn't pick it up but it was delicious, flavorful, and spicy. Every sandwich comes with huge side of fries too.

Hubby got a BBQ sandwich and loved it too. The jackfruit was the best I've had anywhere. I would prefer to just order the sandwich without the fries.

Be prepared for a little wait up to 10 minutes upon ordering.

Pros: Lots of vegan options soy and non soy , Large portions

Cons: Uses Styrofoam if getting food to go.

Fast vegan comfort foods

Fantastic southern vegan comfort foods. Fast meal-prep. Try the Shrimp Po-Boy

Pros: All vegan menu, Many soy-free choices, Fast meal-prep

Cons: Slightly overpriced, Run-down urban location, Less than polite service. Everyone seemed tired.

Comfort Food

This place is straight up southern comfort food. I had the shrimp po boy and sweet potato fries; they were great. The shrimp was so delicous. Vegan shrimp is generally hit or miss, this one is a definite hit.

Not much seating, but wasn't busy when I went.

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Pricey, Styrofoam containers even for dine in

No Friggin' Way!

Saw other reviews 4 this spot as part of my quest around Atlanta 4 vegan food & knew I had 2 try. My 1st attempt was a send off as the site said they were open that day but it was incorrect. My 2nd attempt found them closing a tad earlier than advertised. Not angry enough 2 B dissuaded, I tried 1 last time & my God am I glad I did!

Of the many appealing choices I settled on the "shrimp" po' boy made of konjac root. The choice was more out of curiosity than desire. It. Was. A. Shrimp. Po'. Boy! Simply amazing. The portion size was magnificent. The fries were on point. & the place itself is a gem N disguise; something like Dr. Who's phone booth - janky & plain on the outside but opens 2 a whole 'nother world within!

The food was so good, I ordered cheesecake 2 go. It was mango flavored but didn't have any kind of mango sauce or slices on top. But after experiencing what I just had with the po' boy it was nothing 2 take a chance. I didn't touch it until days later back N Chicago. Oh my fu**ing god!!!

I've had a ton of vegan cheesecakes, even some that were great but they're usually made of soy so I had 2 lay off. Their's, as I recall, was not. It was hands down thee best cheesecake I'd ever had since going vegan N '99! It approached Junior's status from NY. Just dumb stupid good.

The service is dope. The staff is very matter-of-fact but still cool. They came off knowledgeable about their product & R fairly quick about getting your order 2 U. The outside really is a deterrent but it only masks a magical place on the inside.

Go.

Pros: The food is shockingly great!

Cons: The storefront is less than inviting.

Opened late, several items out of stock.

Potential to be a lot better if they opened on time and kept everything in stock. Needs a fountain for drinks.

Pros: Lots of junk food, delicious fries

Cons: No fountain drinks, only bottled, Out of several items, Opens later than advertised.

amazing food, looong wait

The food is delicious, but we had to wait almost an hour for our to go order. In their defense, there were a lot of people to serve. Probably will only call in orders from now on. I'd still recommend this place though.

Pros: lots of options, the food is fantastic

Cons: long wait after we ordered

Great food, not very reliable

Great place, great food and great people. Don't good there if you're very hungry; they may not be open during posted times.

Pros: All vegan.
