Vegan dining downtown appreciated - Edit
We spent two relaxing hours at this establishment. Two of us had the Thai “Beef” bowl made with Seitan; the others had the Reuben and the Philly, also made with plant-based sliced “meat.” The portions weren’t over the top in size. The food was tasty and nicely seasoned.
Read moreIt’s order at the counter then the food is brought by staff to the table. Given this hybrid fast-food ordering format, the cost was a bit pricey.
Pros: 100% vegan , Good service , Patrons can linger
Cons: Pricey

Skippable if visitng; good if local - Edit
I think I'd hit this place up a bit if I was local but being an out of towner I think it was skippable. I was disappointed by the chikn sandwich. A little surprised it's so popular.

Cons: Nothing amazing imo

Amazing oatmeal crème pies! - Edit
EDIT: they updated their dine-in packaging. Now giving them 5 stars!!
Read more(Before: Packaging takes away a star, but hopefully the packaging is still a symptom of covid.)
Everything else was great! My friend and I both ate the Cauliflower Chickpea Shawarma Wrap ($12.75), hers with regular fries (included) and mine with a seasonal soup ( $1.50).
Receiving the food only took minutes. Very quick and efficient. There are well lit nice bathrooms too.
UPDATE: I’ve eaten here again and I looove the cauliflower entree. The food here is healthier than vegan fast food, but it doesn’t skimp on flavor. One item that’s not as healthy, but is oh so scrumptious is the oatmeal crème pie. Truly, I am in love with it!

Solid Vegan Spot - Edit
I’m a Native Foods fan in general. The food is typically good at this location but accuracy tends to suffer, as does the customer service. Still, when hungry and I’m the area, I still swing by to eat.

Friendly and Tasty - Edit
This was my first stop on my visit to Chicago. The staff was incredibly friendly and with helpful trying to find other vegan options. The food here was very tasty and there was plenty to choose from. My non-vegan wife really enjoyed the food.

Not a big fan of the Reuben - Edit
Didn’t like the Reuben as much as most of the other items on the menu! Def prefer Chicago diners Reuben. Was a bit smaller then I anticipated and just lacked something. First time trying the PB parfait though and that was really good!
Read moreGenerally a good spot for a quick meal-I just didn’t choose the right sandwich for me this time.

It's the tenders for me! - Edit
The chicken tenders in honee sauce are the good tasting bad for you deliciousness that only a night out drinking could truly appreciate!

Pop Vegan - Edit
Not that some pop vegan food is bad but this place hides under the cover of one of the only hip vegan restaurants downtown. It's not very creative and tastes just okay. Just another mediocre chain that takes the popularity of being the hip vegan place downtown.
Read moreOne thing that I'll note and why I gave it an extra star was their Oatmeal Cream Pie was surprisingly fantastic.

Good menu, but low quality - Edit
‘Chicken’ pretzel burger was greasy and tasted unusual, fries were poor but the chowder was slightly better. Wouldn’t come back but like the initiative.

Quick and delicious - Edit
One of my favorite places around - tried almost all of their menu at this point. Not the healthiest options (although their salads, and Twister Wrap are on the healthier side), but it's perfect when you're craving that vegan burger. Orders also usually take just about five minutes.

Decent - Edit
It was alright but given all the options in Chicago I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. My partner had a burger that was apparently really good so that's why 3 stars instead of 2

So good - Edit
I love native foods and tend to go to this location every time I take the train in since it’s such a short walk. Mostly fake chicken products, it hits the spot when that kind of stuff used to be your favorite food! The Buffalo chicken wings could be hotter, but the cauliflower wings are also the perfect crispy ness. Highly recommend.

Great Flavors - Edit
There are lots of solid options, all of which are pretty exciting to try, but although the food was good there’s nothing too special about it. Solid options, good flavors, but pretty standard vegan mock meat options. Dessert was very good though and they had different options than most restaurants!
