Large salad!

Delicious food, large salad and amazing nachos! Even a half order served as a side for 3 of us to share. I enjoyed the Southwestern Chicken Salad, just subbed ranch dressing. Love that they use real dishes/cups and utensils instead of disposable. They even have a water bottle filling station.

Pros: Large servings, Plenty of indoor seating, Drinks, desserts too!

Fabulous!

The food here is amazing. Had the wings and the buffalo Philly. So good. The staff was super friendly. Will definitely go again the next time we are in town. Unfortunately we're visiting from Tallahassee so I don't know when that will be. However, it IS on the list for a must return visit!

Pros: Food was fantastic. Lots of choices, Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. , Very clean classy place

Cons: A little expensive

Everything is excellent

Make sure to try the wings. We had half garlic parm and half BBQ. They’re not to be missed! My husband’s Philly cheesesteak was enormous. The chicken Shwarma and kale chicken Cesar wrap are perfect for lunch time.
If you’re in Syracuse this is not to be missed!

Pros: Food— everything is excellent, Thai iced tea, Wings!!

Used to be better-ish

Highly processed vegan food, there isn’t any real whole plant-based foods or homemade vegan foods. The building is stark, the lighting is harsh, the workers unfriendly. No personality in any of it. If you’ve never been to a good vegan joint, you may like it. But once you’ve either made vegan comfort food yourself or been to a truly passionate vegan place with good food, SH doesn’t measure up.

Good old vegan comfort food

I had PB chocolate shake thick and creamy and delicious. I also had a Buffalo chicken sandwich. This too was delicious, thick patty with L&T. with a nice size side salad. And the salad want iceburg! Really bright, nice service from the counter foaks.

Great choices, all vegan

They let me add kale to their strawberry banana smoothie upon my request, and we’re so nice. Tasty food!

Pros: Tasty flavorful side tofu noodles , Yummy sweet sassy molasses tofu sandwich , Yummy jerk tempeh

Cons: No whole wheat option for the sandwich bread, Heavy on the vegan mayo, but yummy , Ask for aioli on side if want only little on meal

So many tasty options!

My partner and I wanted to try so many things here. Ended up with the Reuben, a cookie dough espresso milkshake, the immunity smoothie, the birthday cheesecake, and an oatmeal cream pie. The drinks and sandwich were amazing. All the things you look for in a Reuben - melty, savory, with buttery toasted bread. Every bite was a delight! The oatmeal cream pie was okay but a little too sweet and the cheesecake could be skipped - bland base and way too sweet frosting on top. Overall, the place had cool vibes, many options, and I would go back for more milkshakes and savory foods!!

Great food

Big menu, lots of great shakes. Also a bunch of baked goods like cheesecake, cupcakes, etc. Has changed a lot since switching locations, more focused on burgers and that kind of thing as opposed to soups and sandwiches, but the menu is much larger now. Interior of the restaurant is also nice.

Happy to find this

Great spot- sandwiches are delicious and so are salads and great selection of shakes and smoothies, kombucha etc. Place was very busy but still seating left and seats outside too.
Other options are trad vegan fast food- burgers, fries etc. But the sandwich selection especially was creative and delicious and I’d go all the time if local.
Service was pretty moody.. didn’t exactly feel too welcome or helped, but that would be my only small criticism. .
Worth a detour for for sure .

Pros: Sandwich and salad selection , Spacious location , Really quick

Cons: Service wasn’t bad but wasnt exactly welcoming..

My non-vegan coworkers loved it!!

I was on a business trip and got buy-in to come here. Everyone was amazed!

I ordered the "chicken bacon ranch" sandwich. Both of my colleagues got the sweet potato burger.

Now the sandwich was epic, the ranch was so phenomenal!! I wish it came with fries instead of chips but it was 10/10.

I heard they loved the sweet potato burger. My Omni colleague told me the next morning that unlike when he would eat a cow meat burger, he woke up feeling amazing and no side effects. Plant based diets are for real!!

Wonderful

The food was fantastic, the service was friendly, and prompt. We had a burger and fries. Delicious! The fries were so crispy! They also had a great assortment of desserts! The "Faux'sstess" cupcake was awesome. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great spot

Stopped by this place on a road trip and was very pleased. The mac and cheese is a cashew base that could have been soaked/blended for a little longer and the the hand that spread the horseradish and garlic felt a big heavy but everything else was great! Would definitely recommend.

Food that fills your soul

1st time here. Free parking located across the street. Dine in or take out. Nice clean space inside. Friendly service. Many options to choose from. I tried the sassy fried Chick’n and I was not disappointed at all. It was a nice portion size. I chose a pickle and added a side of fries. Delicious and I am looking forward to coming back.

Pros: Clean, Made to order , 100% Vegan

Yes and more yes

A friend gave me a vegan cupcake from this place and I drove 2 hours to get more. You can’t go wrong eating here. If they mailed cupcakes I’d be waiting for mine to come today.

I can’t stop ordering the Nachos

Absolutely perfect, balanced flavors. Thick house made (?) chips with great creamy queso, a little creama and cilantro for cooling the heat from spicy chorizo & jalapeños and a nice tang from the pickled onions.

Pros: Great milkshakes, Craveable nachos, Baked goodies

Cons: Take out usually 10min delay, Uses a lot of prepared vegan proteins

OMG this place is ridiculous!

I found this place via the Happy Cow app on our way up from Raleigh, NC. We got stuck in traffic around DC (big surprise there, I know!), so we weren't able to actually eat in the restaurant due to getting into town only 10 minutes before they closed for the night.

When we saw we weren't going to make it, I placed an order on their website while riding shotgun.

It was easy to order what we needed with any modifications, including the fact that we corn have Celiac which was plainly an option for every item we ordered.

The order was ready when we pulled up and the staff was exceptionally friendly. We brought the food to our hotel and ate in the lobby. It was freaking delicious!! A bit on the spicier side for a couple of the dishes, but overall we absolutely loved the flavor profiles and the dishes we ordered.

We shared the french fries and a chocolate peanut butter banana shake. My son got a half order of the loaded nachos and I got the Sweet and Sassy sandwich on a gluten free roll.

Can't say enough about the food at this place! It's difficult to find vegan gluten free options when we travel, so this was a wonderful surprise. I'm hoping the rest of our trip up north will be just as tasty!

Pros: 100% vegan, Delicious sandwiches and fries, Vegan milkshakes are the best

Reduction in quality

Strong hearts is the go-to vegan spot in syracuse, though it’s quality has gone down in recent years. They use beyond meat which is gross (personal preference), and half the time they don’t have high quality buns, but charge over $15 for a burger (and you have to pay extra for fries). also their food is just slightly too salty, and sometimes it takes away from other flavors in the dish

Pros: Lots of options

Cons: Expensive for what you get , inconsistent, dishes loaded with salt

Fries are actually included with a burger, no extra charge. I agree on salt content, but they're going for comfort food not health food to be fair. Try the chickpea salad wrap or the chicken cobb salad with fried tofu instead of the "chicken." (Source: I work there)

Good food, better milkshakes

I love and hate visiting vegan restaurants where I have trouble deciding what to order from a big, appealing menu. But absolutely zero regrets with my maple vanilla oreo shake - it's up there with the best shakes I've ever had, vegan or otherwise. And that's not to take away from a yummy eggplant parm sandwich.

Pros: Amazing milkshakes, Good variety

Delicious, Huge Dessert Menu

Firstly, and arguably most importantly, everything I tasted surpassed my expectations (which were medium-high). The pierogis had a crunchy outside, which I'm not used to, but it was pleasant. I have never enjoyed tempeh-anything, but I didn't have to pick off the tempeh bacon crumbles because they didn't taste too strongly of tempeh. I stole a fair amount of my dad's peanut butter banana milkshake, which was awesome. The chocolate chip cheesecake would have been better with a much thinner chocolate layer on top, but the crust and white/chippy parts were great. I hate most vegan cheesecake, barely had any complaints here.
Secondly, I love the fun, modern interior and especially all the vegan activism-type stuff posted around.

Pros: Great food quality, They care about the cause, Many, many dessert options-milkshakes, cupcakes...

Incredible to find all this vegan goodness!

Bright light, bold color accents; good vibes fill this all vegan restaurant. The food is fantastic!! They even have an extensive -I’m talking like 25 flavors of vegan milkshake -I had chocolate banana -excellent! Came another time and had Southwest salad -generous portion and super tasty and fresh. It just takes a bit of time after you order to get the food-I forget it’s not a fast food place. Just go! You won’t be disappointed fellow vegans —this place is for us !

Pros: All vegan-extensive menu! , Beautiful and tasty baked goods., Friendly staff.

Cons: Service is somewhat slow after ordering., Wish they opened earlier on weekends., More breakfast choices.
