OK this place has very unique selection of food. I believe it's all vegan. The vegan chicken wings are so good that I forgot OK I would ever even actually eat a chicken. Seriously though I can live on their chicken wings and never eat meat again.They also have fantastic desserts, and very delicious drinks.

Best Black Bean Burger I ever ateThe Chik and waffles were delicious

I was really excited to have some fresh vegan food, but based on the atmosphere, I should have known that I was not getting quality food. While the service was amazing, the price you pay is not what you get. They made the idea of vegan food very unappealing. Even my vegan friends said this place was not good. I don’t recommend.

Yum! Go get some! They are quick and delicious, delicate sauces. Their The Cutting Board Bakery & Cafe and samosas are made there and perfect!

Unfortunately, it seems the Covid restaurant collapse has taken The Cutting Board. They appear to be permanently closed

We thought we’d try this place out because we were hoping to eat healthier and try vegan food. Sadly, both of our orders were missing the quinoa we specifically ordered, and I had to wait 25 minutes outside in 112° heat for the order because there’s no seating inside whatsoever to wait at. I have to admit, it looked pretty dirty inside anyway. Outdoors, the windows were dirty too, and there were pieces of garbage on the ground around the table I sat at. No one bothered to tell me my order was ready. A customer came out and said one was sitting there a while that may be mine.I asked the cashier on the phone if I could drive back to exchange for what we actually ordered. He instead put me on the phone with the manager — the manager (she) did not offer to resolve the order with a quick exchange/replacement, and I didn’t push it.I understand restaurants are struggling. I want to support them, but maybe they just or skimping on staff and cleanliness to save money during the pandemic. The staff seemed unhappy and tired - like most vegans I’ve met. I’m really sad that didn’t work out.

Not bad. I recently received a gift card for my birthday. After a hot day at the lake with my son we were excited to try some vegan restaurant food and a cold refreshment.I tried to order online during the drive for a quick pick up but it took a while to complete the online order. I was already in the parking lot by the time my son was checking out online and the food would take 45 minutes to be ready with the online order. So we cancelled it and headed inside.Since we had already decided what we wanted we placed our order. Unfortunately they were out of limes for the limeade I had so been looking forward to so we got 2 mango juices. We ordered 2 tofu breakfast scrambles, 1 with hot sauce and salsa, 1 with hot sauce and roasted garlic aioli sauce. They were also out of aioli sauce. Okay no problem.We both really enjoyed the scramble. Sauces were on the side. They gave us some sliced fresh fruit too which I like. The mango juice seemed a little watered down to me but still not too bad. I'm not sure the entire experience was worth $36 for 2 meals. All said and done I would like to try them again once the economy is back in swing. I can appreciate they may be struggling to stay open right now so I won't be too harsh about the items out of stock and the juice.

With the riots. I will never spend my money here. Too bad blacks don't speak out saying the burning down businesses is wrong

Let me first off start by saying I was SO EXCITED to come back and try this place again. We've been here before with our vegan friends and was glad they introduced us to here. I recently won a gift card from the CorkBird app and was so happy to come and use it.. however, it was such a disappointing experience this past weekend. The inside area is currently closed due to COVID-19 and they set up tables right at the entrance for orders taking and pick-up which I thought was very nice and efficient. However, the gentleman that helped us was not at all pleasant or seemed like he wanted to be there. Not sure how else I can describe it other than comparing it to a teenage kid being forced by their parents to come help out a family business instead of going out to play with their friends and not getting paid. However, this is a grown man who is an employee in a food service business where customer service is also a key. He "greeted" us with the "hi, are you ready to order?" and I asked if there were more iced tea options other than hibiscus iced tea - which is the only one I saw on the menu board. He sighed and said he had more, so I asked which.. then he got up and slowly walked away as he said he will go grab them. He came back with 3 more options but I ended up opting in for the hibiscus anyway thinking it was their current special. I showed him the Yelp check-in offer (which I've used many times with other businesses) on my phone for the iced tea and what happened next got me dumbfounded.. HE TOOK THE PHONE FROM MY HAND.. instead of just asking me to mark it as used... during the midst of COVID-19.... and held onto it for a good 3 min.. at this point, I was already dying on the inside. After he finished taking out order and applying the gift card, he walked away to make my "hibiscus" tea. To my surprise, or maybe not at this point, he did NOT wash his hands. After about 10 minutes of waiting for him to slowly make my tea, I got what is supposedly hibiscus tea.. not sure if it's just me or not but all the hibiscus tea I've ever had in the past have been..well, reddish? *please refer to my picture for reference. At this point, all I could tell myself was that the food will make up for all of this. Thankfully, the food was still just as good as I remembered. ..but sadly not good enough to take away this extremely negative experience. My husband rarely ever comments on things like this actually expressed how unprofessional that was and how he did not want to come back. While I understand we all have bad days and I'm sure it was one of those days for the gentleman as well.. I still think it was rather unprofessional of him to behave that way with customers. It was such an unfortunate experience for I was so excited I never win anything and was looking forward to using my winning. I do want to go back here again and give them another shot because I really do hope it was a one-off day. I hate posting negative reviews, especially when it comes to service but I feel like the owners (in which I've heard they're super sweet and was looking forward to meeting them this time, but did not get the chance) would want to know what's happening out front.

The veggie wrap was incredibly boring, and over priced for the few pieces of lettuce and tomato they put inside. I literally thought they were joking with me when they brought me the food. I just didn't like it here or the atmosphere

Overpriced and under seasoned. I spent $12-$13 for a bowl of coleslaw and five measly pieces of fried oyster mushrooms and a weird sauce that was way too sweet and I actually had to season when I got home. This is what I get for attempting to support small businesses in a predominantly white area. I wish I could get my money back for that monstrosity considered food.

To be honest, we weren't happy at first. It took 1hr and 10 min to get our food. While waiting I asked the woman waiting next to me if it always takes this long. She says "Oh my gosh, didn't you order ahead?? It's an hour every time. But the food is worth it, especially the fried chickun stuff." I had ordered the soul bowl with fried chickun and thought....well, we'll see about that. Sure enough the chickun is AMAZING, and the gravy, and the mashed potatoes and veggies. It was SO good! I mean, this is the type of meal you can easily give to non-vegan friends and they'll love it too. It's savory, hearty soul food, vegan style!....just order ahead.

From entry to completion of my order, was a wonderful experience. This place gets it right with service and quality. I highly recommend going. Vegan desserts can leave you wanting but not here.... oh my yummy!!! You can taste the passion, knowledge, and truth in their food. This is how they eat so it tastes great! Thank you so much
