Delicious! - Edit
This place was so amazing - got the gyro w/ seitan, mac n’ cheese, and strawberry lemonade. The seitan was well spiced, sauce was amazing, and veggies were super fresh. A short walk from Times Square - totally worth it! The food also came out quick and the staff was so friendly. A must visit!

Nice wraps - Edit
Came in here for lunch and ordered a falafel wrap to-go. It came out quick which is exactly what I needed. The wrap tasted good and was enough to keep me full until dinner.

Lived up to expectations - Edit
Was a bit scared this place was just hyped up, but the mac & cheese was delish.

Perfectly Prepared Vegan BLT - Edit
Why eat a cruel Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato sandwich when their vegan version is just as tasty, perfectly prepared, and a lot healthier.

Delicious quick stop - Edit
We shared an impossible chop cheese and a jerk chicken mac and cheese which was plenty for lunch. We were amazed by the Mac and cheese and loved the jerk flavor which had a nice kick but not spicy. My husband raved the chop cheese was extremely authentic because i had never had a cow meat chop cheese before becoming vegan so long ago so didn’t have that to compare it to.

Thank you for the awesome review! We take pride in having the best Chopped Cheese in NYC—so authentic you can't tell the difference! Glad you loved the Jerk Chicken Mac & Cheese too. Hope to see you again soon!

Intense! - Edit
The atmosphere is 'fast-foodie'... but in a cosy way. Staff are friendly and service is quick. The food is rather heavy and intense (as is, I suppose, expected!)
Read moreI did not like the Mac and cheese with jerk meat, but the one with vegan beyond chicken was yummy. The Reeses cup milkshake was also delicious!
Pros: Really good vibe inside
Cons: All single use cutlery and crockery

Amazing crispy wings - Edit
I love the sheer variety of mock meats as well as the creative menu! The wings were so crispy and the loaded fries with house seitan was fantastic.

Pedí el Beyond Mac Bowl, la porción es grande y precisa. Su sabor en general es dulce y la beyond tiene un toque leve picante a pimienta, pero en general es un plato dulce

Jerk BBQ drumsticks 10/10 - Edit
I got jerk bbq drumsticks with a side of ranch and they were the best thing I’ve eaten in a while. Very spicy (obviously) but the ranch helped tame the heat. I’ll definitely come back here when I’m in nyc next! #Veganuary
Read morePros: Texture and taste were perfect, Loved the use of sugar as the “bone” , Aesthetically very pleasing

Fast and delicious! - Edit
I stopped in here for a quick bite before a Broadway show and it was great! I had one of the mac-n-cheese bowls, my partner had chick’n tenders and fries. This is definitely comfort food, not your place for healthy salads, but it’s great for an occasional treat, and as far as I can tell the only fully vegan place near the theaters and Times Square. The only downside is that there’s not much seating - there is some, it’s just a small area. Then again “on the fly” is in the name.

Comfort food, served fast! - Edit
I arrived at Penn Station and was on my way to a business meeting. I figured the food offerings at the venue would be decidedly not vegan-friendly, so I pulled up my trusty Happy Cow app and found this highly recommended vegan place close by. It's got a fast-food vibe with a comfort-food slant, and it delivers! Staff were friendly, and there was room for me to sit at a counter in the small room in the back. I had the Beyond Mac Buffalo Bowl w/ Ranch Drizzle added - a bit sinful on my part as it was delightfully saucy and I added the ranch. I very much enjoyed it and went on to my meeting happy and full! A bit pricey, but hey, in that area and for specialty food, it's expected.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Counter to eat, Comfort food that you know is all vegan
Cons: Small place if you're with a group, A bit pricey for what you get

Four days in NYC and I can’t decide which place I like the best. The food here is really good relatively inexpensive for NYC and staff is experienced and helpful.

Not Overly Impressed - Edit
I had high hopes for VOTF but it did not meet my expectations.. I got the chopped cheese, mac and cheese, fries, and a side of the fake meat. The chopped cheese was pretty good, but the mac and cheese was inedible. It was also SO cramped and there were like 4 seats to eat. The staff was not knowledgeable at all of the options because I asked what flavors soft serve they had and she had to go to the back to ask someone else. Honestly I like the owners from what I’ve seen on social media so I would give them another shot, but with such a wide array of options it fell flat.
Read morePros: A lot of options
Cons: Barely any seating, Staff not knowledgeable, Mid flavors

Dear Chloe,
Read moreWe sincerely apologize that you felt our staff was not knowledgeable during your visit. We’ve been facing some delivery issues due to delays at the ports. When my cashier asked the manager in the back about the flavor, it was to ensure we provided you with the correct information.
Regarding your feedback on the mac and cheese, it's one of our best-selling items, and we rarely receive complaints about it. However, I truly apologize for your experience and will personally look into it. I would be happy to remake the mac and cheese for you, ensuring it meets our quality standards.
As for the seating, I understand it can get quite cramped. If you’re looking for more space, I recommend visiting the outdoor park just down the block, which has tables and chairs for a more comfortable dining experience.
Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back soon.
