The vegan junk food you dream of

I love the food, and I love the new location. I can get the same great crunch wrap while browsing local artists. The food is delicious, and never tastes fake or processed.

Pros: Delicious , All vegan, Fun location

Cons: Only junk food

Yummy southern goodness

During my first trip to Louisville for LDB Fest, this was the first food spot on my list. The Gouda Mac Bites were incredible 🤤 B-Grits is a must if you’re in the Louisville area.

Yummy

Located in the Logan Street Market! The Nashville Hot Chicken was delish and the Gouda Mac and cheese balls were AMAZING! Ask for them to serve your food on a tray if you’re sticking around to avoid the waste from disposable containers😄🌎

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Mainly to-go containers, which isn’t sustainable

Great to have so many options

I was excited to try the Mac and cheese but it wasn't as good as I expected. My partner liked his food though. It's nice to have so many vegan options.

Pros: all vegan

Used to be great!

The new recipe for their fries is heart breaking. Good salads, okay chicken sandwich, do not like the Mac and cheese. Have yet to find a place to replace my BFF morels
Update- manager recently mocked me for having ocd after harassing me on social media. Ableist. Would not recommend

Pros: Winter menu lasted forever (

Cons: Management , ableist , Abusive staff

Delicious Southern Food

This was the first place we tried when we moved to Louisville. How cool is it to have a brewery and vegan restaurant in one?!? The beers were great and the food was even better. It was hard to choose what to get but we got the Big Whiz Cheese Fries and the Popcorn Chicken Country Bowl, both of which I would recommend! Awesome flavor. Looking forward to going back to try the crunch wrap and the chicken sandwich!

Pros: Vegan restaurant and brewery in one , Don’t have to worry about if the beer is vegan

Not Accommodating

I have food allergies. They can be simply eliminated from the dishes. This restaurant was not willing to accommodate my food allergies. I agreed to try something. The dish tasted OK but I was definitely sick the rest of the night. They could have easily just added the raw vegetable into my dish. They had no substitution in mind. Everything is pre made as I could tell. Too expensive for what we had. I do not recommend nor will I return to this restaurant.

Love it!

This is no longer a food truck, it has a permanent location and is a brewery.
Vegan comfort food was excellent. The only thing I would change is they should make their own vegan burger, they have beyond burgers only.

Pros: All vegan , Brewery , Bar

Holy Hannah, 1863 out of 10

Wow. This place is AMAZING!!!! I’m from Minnesota and our all-vegan restaurants are nowhere near this good! I had the shroom noir burger with fried Mac bites and damn it was delicious! Paired with the hardcore herbivore brew you cannot go wrong.

Pros: Tons of options , Friendly staff, Soul food

Yummy Comfort with some healthy options

Really good queso, some of the best in the south, must try. Crunch wrap was delicious. But my favorite was the summer quinoa bowl, a comforting and healthy dish.

Wow

What a meal. For starters, my Chorizo Potato Bowl was killer. The cheese sauce, chorizo, and rice were all top notch in this dish. The rice probably doesn’t get enough credit, but wow was it good. I also had a side of fried mac and cheese balls. They were good but subtle on the mac and cheese taste.

Also, my non-vegan Dad absolutely loved his Hot ‘Chicken’ sandwich. He said it was one of, if not the best chicken sandwiches he’s ever had—real chicken included. Trust me that’s a high complement.

They also had a great selection of vegan donuts, which were also killer. My non-vegan mom mentioned they were as good as any non-vegan old fashioned donut she’d had.

All in all, wowzers what a meal. Top marks.

Pros: Soooo many options , All vegan, Yummy AF

Cons: Can be expensive (18% gratuity req on take out)

Great comfort food

Stopped in with my buddy and we split the nachos supreme. The nacho cheese was amazing. Seasoned beef crumbles really added so much to the dish.
We were still a little hungry so we each got the Mac n Cheese. Again, it was great but missing a little something so I added some Franks Red Hot.
Wish I had more than 1 night in Louisville to try more on the menu.

Pros: Great menu , Diverse options

Comfort food, definitely not healthy fare

Online ordering from phone a bit hard to navigate- didn’t clearly show they were out of an item we tried to order

Pros: Lots of options, All plant based, Nice choice of beer

Cons: Ordering system, Not the best plant-based chicken

Comfort!

Traveling and stopped in for some much needed comfort food and V-Grits hit the spot. We loved the convenience of putting in an order online contactless rather than ordering from a server or counter. At first glance the sandwich seemed small, but it was hard to finish! The mac and cheese had phenomenal flavor and the texture was bang on. I tried the lavender gin fizz and was not disappointed. Great atmosphere and the food was absolutely amazing. Definitely will miss back home

Shroom burger

Yummy burger but it needed a hardier bun. It fell to pieces after first bite but I just ate it with a fork 👍

Try the desserts!!!

Food is pretty good. I miss a lot of the food from last year though. The summer solstice salad was soooo good!!! Please bring it back😒but the desserts they have by Julian’s kitchen are soooo good best vegan donuts you can find. They taste like real donuts and are the first non cake vegan donuts.

Pros: Good vegan desserts, Nice employees, Fresh food

Cons: Sometimes slow with online ordering , Not open early enough for Sunday brunch!!!
