It was pretty good for being free, but they were pretty mediocre bean tacos. I honestly can't blame them. The hot sauce made them a pretty good snack in the end!

On top of a lively atmosphere, the food was excellent. I wanted to try so many things on the menu, but I went for the chicken basket with 2 extra pieces. We were all blown away, even the omnivore in the group. The food was soo good. I hope we get to visit again.

The garlic fries were maybe the BEST non-battered fries I've ever had! Great meal. *reviewed by an omnivore who loves food*

No more than 5 minutes after ordering, my meal was brought out, which was shocking and way too quick. I assumed this would be a large portion of salad for $15, but alas, I was wrong. This was essentially just a bunch of romaine lettuce, some unseasoned Gardein crumbles, jarred salsa, and a couple shredded carrots. A total of 2 crumbled tortilla chips sat on top. It basically tasted like nothing. I was still hungry after eating the entire thing, which never happens to me. Service was also not excellent. Only 2 other patrons and staff seemed annoyed by our existence

Burgers were left uneaten, there’s hardly any potato in the fries, food came out semi cold, nachos were pretty bland and disappointing, old lettuce, flat coke, probably understaffed, with a poorly working toilet cubicle in the men’s (I won’t give you imagery). Staff were kind, but hard to find. It was a mostly empty restaurant but there was a 45 minute wait for the food and another 25 minutes after asking for the bill. Forgot to add the stomach ache I got while eating my dinner it was way too greasy. The sweet potato fries and the deep fried pickles were great! Not good enough to increase the stars unfortunately. Unfortunately it was their first experience of a vegan restaurant too, so it adds to the sourness of the experience. Updated from previous review on 2023 07 25
