Best vegan spot I found in Louisville. Mac n cheese is insane and the tenders are amazing, flavors and spices go crazy. The vibe of the brewery is also really cool.

Tasty vegan market stall

V-grits is located in a market with a lot of other vendors, which was confusing when I initially tried to find it. But it's a cute area that includes some shops and a bar. The food all looked delicious, though it's definitely comfort food and not healthy 😅
I got the chickpea salad wrap for a slightly healthier option and it was very tasty with a mayo-based creamy chickpea salad. I also tried the Mac n cheese bites which had a little smoky flavor and were delicious. They also have some vegan treats from Half Peach bakery.

Everyone Loved It

Had lunch with my Non-vegan husband and in-laws and they ordered the “roast beef” special and a side of Gouda Mac. While my in-laws are typically standard American diet meat & cheese people, my father-in-law said he liked his meal “more than a hamburger”. That is really saying something coming from him 👏😊 I tried some of the “roast beef”, the deliciously seasoned fries and the smoky creamy Gouda mac. All was so delicious. Looking forward to future visits.

Great food!

100% plant based menu. I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with a side of smoked mac n cheese. Really tasty food and great staff. An awesome find in Louisville!

Delicious! We ordered online and picked up the next day. Order was ready early.

So many choices! We had two sandwiches and fried mac and cheese (vacation treat). Good value and the food amazing.

Pros: Many options, Reasonable prices, Food was delicious

Cons: Healthier options (maybe?)

Delicious BBQ

I had the BBQ platter and my husband had the BBQ chicken sandwich. It was all delicious, and the Gouda Mac and Cheese was the standout for me. Though I use words like "chicken" and "cheese", it was 100% vegan.

Brunch Burger!

We drove about an hour to get here for lunch and it was not a disappointment. Good service just expected to be slow because it was small. Loved the whole experience. 

Pros: Food!, Bakery. , Alternatives for the kids close by.

Cons: Seating, Cleanliness of Logan Square

Love it

We love this place, a fantastic vibe. We had the cheese steak and chicken cilantro burrito… Both were very good. The presentation wasn’t great, I wish I had a plate for my very messy cheesesteak… But worth it, very tasty.

Must stop

This is in a very cool spot with lots of food and drink vendors, but parking can be a challenge. I kind of panic ordered without asking questions and ended up with a crunchwrap, which was excellent, but the meat was so realistic that I should have ordered something else, like the Philly or some mac…I didn’t even see the grits on the menu, or I would have tried that too. Lots of really fun options, I wish I had time to try a lot more. The portion was large too, so I saved half for later. They were also super friendly and willing to help with anything we needed.

Worth The Stop

Soooooo good! It's so rare to find a completely vegan menu so I went crazy. Got the brunch burger with fries, a side of cheesy grits, and a donut with custard. Everything is delicious and way more than I can eat in one sitting, even though I was really hungry. There was a line when we arrived but once we placed our order, we had time to tour the rest of the building and order from a few other vendors. By the time we'd done all that, the food was ready. I would definitely eat here again!

Pros: Large menu, Breakfast, brunch, and lunch covered

Quite mediocre.

I can recognize that we visited on a Tuesday afternoon, which is a slow time for any restaurant. However, that does not excuse our experience. Staff were minimally engaged and available, they genuinely seemed annoyed that someone was ordering. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, half of which was clearly reheated/not freshly prepared. The mac and cheese was incredibly disappointing, as there were cold spots in the cup and the noodles were overcooked to the point of mush. We enjoyed the chick'n product, but the tender basket had very small strips for the cost of the meal. The Nashville sandwich was pretty good, but also not as hot (temperature) as expected. I appreciate any fully vegan option in Louisville, as they are quite few and far between in this area, but this was disappointing.

Pros: Vegan junk food, Local "fauxltry" chicken

Cons: Lukewarm/cold food, Disengaged staff

Good food, no vegetables though

The food was good, the wait was about half an hour for a sandwich with no other customers. Would love to see more vegetables and plant forward items on the menu instead of replacement items.

Pros: Filling food and good price

Cons: Only fake meat options, need more veg

Not Great

I really wanted to like this spot but it was just not worth the hype to me. I waited over 30 minutes when there weren’t other customers because they were ringing the wrong buzzer, even though my boyfriend and I were just sitting at the bar right across from the store (like 15 feet away) so we finally went up and they said our food had been ready for a while. Then, I love breakfast burritos, but the one I ate didn’t have much flavor and had a big hard stem in it. The pumpkin curry saved the day, but the hash browns were too fried and had more crisp than necessary. I’m glad they exist and offer vegans a spot to eat in Louisville, but I personally wouldn’t go back.

Excellent but not for me

Emulates and surpasses the most indulgent non-vegan dishes with a focus on "comfort food" which I would call kinda tex-mex?

Pros: Great vegan beer., Friendly to the vegan-curious, Stunning interior

Cons: Limited variety, Small staff, Hip. Just in case that's a bit much for you.

Excellent junk food

Excellent comfort food at reasonable prices. We tried the Gouda Mac and the Nashville Hot 'fauxltry' sandwich as well as the power bowl. All were good but particular points for the smoky Gouda mac

The mac and cheese was a flavor bomb

We loved the mac n cheese: there was a lot flavor going on in the mac itself as well as the fixings with their smokey BBQ flavors and pickles. The place is really cool too and you can enjoy a craft beer from the brewery while you eat your vegan soul food.

Does not disappoint

V-Grits always has fantastic food. After trying their Crunchwrap, you’ll never be able to eat one from Taco Bell again. Their menu is much smaller since they moved to Logan Street, but I’ve enjoyed everything on it. They also have new specials out all the time which are usually amazing.

Best barbecue I’ve had in forever!

I ordered the Barbecue platter and loved every single bite. All items complemented each other: creamy Mac n cheese, slightly sour beans and greens, and sweet/spicy vegan chicken barbecue. Plus - cornbread!! Will get some to take back home with me.

Pros: All flavors complemented each other, Great barbecue “chicken”, Unique beans & greens

Fantastic! I can't recommend this enough

This food was so so so good. There aren't enough words to describe how great it is. The seasonings are fantastic, huge portions, and very creative. 10/10

Thought it was ok...

Ordered the BBQ platter, it was ok. The side of beans & greens were good but didn't love the bbq "chicken", the bbq flavor was too sweet. The side of mac and cheese was just okay, but had a mushy texture. Definitely not a place to go for healthy eats.

I LOVE V-GRITS!!!

This is the best place to get vegan grub in Louisville! Hoping that they are able to bring back their full rotating menu because it's a joy to be able to try so many different, creative vegan dishes.
