Today was our first time here, and we thoroughly enjoyed our vegan meal. Their ?No Bull? burger with sweet potato fries was delicious! We definitely are coming back here on our next day trip to Charlottesville and will try one of their vegan desertsnext time.

Awesome local find for gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and local food. The service was fantastic! They had a big patio, mostly covered, that is pet friendly. And even brought our dog water with ice in it. Almost everything on their menu can be madegluten free. Wish we would've found this place sooner. We will definitely be back whenever we make it back to Charlottesville.

Awesome eating experience! Friendly staff and efficient service. Full vegan menu options- the tater totchos were so good we forgot to take a photo! Pesto pasta and beyond sausage hoagie were great too. Really well priced for vegan food, I think my soupbowl was maybe $5? Great spot

We were visiting from Northern Idaho and needed vegetarian and meat dining options. Really liked this place, had lots of options with a separate vegan menu. The Tachos, which are tater tot nachos, were delicious. My veggie burger was in house made withlentils in it. The sweet potato fries were baby approved- my 7 month old son loved them.

Very friendly staff. Neat atmosphere and delicious food! They had a huge vegan menu and could make most things gluten free too. There was a long non-alcoholic menu too, which is a plus for someone who doesn't drink alcohol but wants something fun to drink.We will definitely be back next time we are in town.
