Spectacular food and service!

In addition to their regular menu (which you can order online or in-person), they have a by-the-pound buffet filled with all sorts of hot and cold items. EVERYTHING I got is soooo delicious! Mac n cheese, spaghetti, seitan with gravy, baked beans, and peach cake. There is street parking and a mini strip-mall lot nearby. Highly recommended when in or driving through Chicago!

Awesome sauce

Huge menu!! Lots of desert options and food was delish. I tried the falafel, quesadilla, kale with cornbread, sweet potato fries, and some the desserts. They all tasted great and the folks were very nice. I though it was all reasonably priced too so I highly recommend!!

So happy we stopped

Looking for a place to eat and happened upon here. Excited to try a new to us restaurant. Best decision we made. Husband had the cajun shrimp and rice with spinach and I had the sloppy joe with fries. Both were absolutely delicious. Not heated frozen food, real homemade meals cooked by people who have a passion and love for what they do. Will definitely return.

Pros: Full vegan restaurant , Friendly staff , Clean dining room

First Vegan Restaurant in Chicago!

I don’t even know where to begin! I’ve had my fair share of vegan “soul food” restaurants & this place might be my #1 pick so far! Located on the south side of Chicago, Soul Veg was a very impressive, hospitable establishment with an array of vegan options.

I ate from the Hot bar (was skeptical at first thanks to COVID) & I truly have no complaints. The food is priced by weight & there’s no limit to how much you can get. Honestly, I wanted to try everything but I knew my stomach would hate me if I did haha! As far as taste, everything I had was impeccable! My favorite items were the Purple Cabbage, Yams, & Jerk Chicken

Pros: Options options options , Smoothies, Nice eat-in space

Amazing!

This place is great for junk food and healthy food cravings. Sometimes I go for the food bar, other times I order from the menu. Kale greens were pretty tasty. Good flavor. Potato salad is bomb. BBQ tidbits are good. Don't like their cakes; they tend to always be dry. Disappointing. I also disliked their battered steak. Their cabbage is delicious, purple or regular. Deep fried seasoned fries with BBQ sauce and their Fried Tofu Sandwich are amazing! They recently remodeled and it’s beautiful. Don’t forget that they also have soft serve. The flavors rotate. It’s so good!! This continues to be a place that I frequent whenever I’m in town.

My fav vegan spot overall in Chicago.

Holy heck! This place is essential in Chicago. If you don't eat here, why even go to Chicago?

Breakfast

My husband and I really enjoyed the breakfast. He got the French toast and I got the pancakes. Served with tofu scramble, hash, sausage. I also got a biscuit and side of kale salad. The biscuit was so moist and buttery and delicious. The tofu scramble and the hash browns were super good. The pancakes and French toast were decent. Kale salad was good (I mixed it with my hash and tofu yummm)

I would def come again. I’d love to try their lunch/dinner menu next.

Amazing food and even better customer care

Such a cute restaurant. The atmosphere was welcoming and all of the employees were kind and helpful. The food was so amazing 😋😋. We ordered from the menu and the hot bar and everything was tasty. I would recommend the sloppy joe, lasagna, gyro... and the desserts are heavenly! Will definitely visit again when I'm back in Chicago.

Might be best spot in chicago

In our trip to Chicago, this was the best vegan food that we tried. The spicy chicken sandwich was life. The loaded fries was life. The basket that we got was great too. The cinnamon cake is really good too. The Hebrew Israelites did good with this place.

Pros: Lots of options, everything good, prices not crazy
