Madeline GullettAugust 18, 2014The twister wrap is my fav! It's a great restaurant for vegans and vegetarians and it's in a great area to walk around. But be careful, the food and vegan desserts are crazy good so you might get fat
Daniel Hauff-LazarMay 16, 2013Eat slowly and take some of the meal home (the food is amazing no matter what you order - and cruelty-free of course!) because you should leave enough room for the vegan cheezecake. Delicious!!!
Airy outpost of the indomitable vegan chain. Try the sweet potato fries, incredible ranch, and portabella sausage burger. Great patio and even better seasonal specials. Sign up for cooking classes!
SarahMay 24, 2019WOW. Absolutely amazing. The BBQ "chicken" salad was super tasty and filling. They have a huge selection of desserts as well, including a peanut butter brownie that was awesome.
DailyCandyDecember 31, 2013"Order Tanya Petrovna’s meatless dishes at the counter while you scope out a booth. Sink your teeth into the portobello and seitan sausage burger served with caramelized onion and pumpkin seed pesto."
Kristen KNovember 6, 2012Amazing healthy selection! Some fun unique flavors & generous portion sizes. Vegan everything = dairy-free girl's heaven. The "Soul Bowl" was kind of rich with the BBQ & "ranch" dressings but not bad!
Kevin DulinAugust 10, 2014This is a R&D kitchen so lots of new things to try. The Chicken Club was delicious and the sweet potato fries with chipotle sauce is so so so good.
Love this place but the tempeh appetizer was like cold mush the curry bowl and sauce were blah, the three tacos best attribute wasthe guacamole. Go with sandwiches they rock and the chimichop salad.
Dana TedescoApril 3, 2013I prefer seitan over tempeh, but that's just me. Everything is good here (a little pricey) & worth a try for "new" vegan explorers. Desserts are very Sweet, but Delicious!
Ganesh RaoJuly 15, 2017Get the chicken and waffles, it's savory and delicious. Also get the Crispy Thai chili-cilantro chicken wings. And some chocolates
Crispy twisted twister wrap! Yummm and sweet potato fries are amazing! I like to dip them in their vegan blue cheese dressing- Rebecca RickertJuly 11, 2015Vegan everything!!! Korean bbq sub, taco salad, sesame "chicken" bites and watermelon fresca!!
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Chicken wings ($6.95) here are made with a blend of soy, wheat, and pea proteins, then fried to a light crisp that keeps them from feeling too much like health food. Read more
Colin ReedSeptember 14, 2013While everything is delicious, the chili w/ cornbread is exceptionally good, and an exceptional value. Plus the entire staff is wonderfully friendly!
Louis PriceDecember 9, 2013Wonderful vegan or vegetarian food, friendly service. You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the food and selection. Really
Leah 👍 SchwartzAugust 21, 2013Indo noodle salad is Amazing... wish I could have ordered everything! Very friendly wait staff.
Do not miss their wondrous array of fresh, tasty drinks (lavender lemonade, watermelon agua fresca, iced teas, etc.)
Sarah McleodJuly 22, 2012Delicious vegan cafe. Huge menu. Oklahoma "bacon cheeseburger" was ridiculously good and perfectly messy. I can't wait to eat there again.
Stephanie GrastiJune 22, 2015Good food - chicken ranch, chili. GREAT food chicken avocado wrap and cornbread! #veganfood #crueltyfree
Ariel WelchJuly 16, 2015I haven't had a thing I didn't like! Also love the coupons and the service is always phenomenal.
Soul Bowl if you're hungry! The Native Fries with a side of Chipotle and the Oklahoma Bacon Cheeseburger if you're starving!
Alvaro GMarch 1, 2014Awesome vegan fast food restaurant. You need to check this place out! Try the watermelon fresca drink.
Andrea HenkDecember 16, 2012Really friendly here! Great not just for vegans or vegetarians but also with a gluten and/or dairy intolerance like me!
Serious EatsMay 13, 2013Italian Meatball Sub: The meatballs—made from Native Foods's sausage seitan—are juicy and deliciously seasoned, with a hot-paprika kick.
Nicole LarkinMarch 24, 2013They have lemon and mint you can put in your water for a refreshing (free) beverage to accompany your extra-nummy meal.
Steven StojakFebruary 12, 2012Definitely healthy and delicious, but handlebar on North is better for vegan/vegetarian food, and a bit cheaper! Native is great, but not my favorite.
Olga GonzalezMarch 25, 2014So amazing! Wish I could have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Get the kale salad!
Unimpressed with the Greek bowl. But the sweet potato fries and lavender lemonade are divine. Chicago Dip is wonderfully spicy!
Service is very friendly. Buffalo wings and soul bowl are great!
The Bangkok Curry bowl is quite uninteresting. I'm a much bigger fan of the Twister Wrap & Chicken Run Ranch.
Ashleigh TDecember 2, 2012The lavender lemonade is like drinking springtime. But the removal of the rose cardamon cupcake from the menu is the disappointment of the decade.
Port burger is tough to beat. But a nice small salad and the chx wings are tasty too.
- Andrew WashingtonNovember 6, 2012My first time her O My God explains every thing her and I also like how everything is fresh
- Meggie OneillJanuary 4, 2012Can't go wrong with the African peanut soup and the soul bowl! Meatball is mighty tasty as.
Kevin Mcghee JrJanuary 27, 2013Tho this is a vegan restaurant very tasty food. Better than I expected and healthy
Rachel RusnakMay 9, 2012Just as delightful as the NFC in California! The Azteca salad is my absolute fav.
Darcy DeLongMarch 8, 2015Yum. Yum. Yumyumyum! Omgosh. Lavender lemonade?! Kale bowl?! I just died. So good.
Staci CousertJuly 15, 2012Mix the watermelon and lemonade drinks! Awesome paired with Chicken Ranch Burger!!!
Domenic CarusoJanuary 19, 2013If you want an ice tea you have come to the right place! The Native Tea is fantastic. If you came here to eat an your not a vegan, get the hell out of here. The food was not good.
Winnie MendozaAugust 6, 2012Portobello and sausage burger + tortilla soup = best thing I've had in Chicago
You really must try the wings. They're unique on their own and the buffalo sauce is a total win.
The chicken sandwich is exquisite. The way it has a chicken-like texture is crazy !
