My wife brought me to this restaurant. It does not look like a, lets say normal, place. But trust the food is good. Step outside your normal and try it. The flavor is on. I liked the Fish and Chips.My only thoughts on the place is put a few friendly pictures on the wall.Great food. Big thumbs up.

Unfortunately wished the food had more flavor. Like that they offer gluten free options though! And maybe it was just the items I chose.

Love their new location in Santa Clara. My favorites are Jalapeño chickn burger, Red Rooster burger, Garlic & Butter Chickn burrito and Hangry fries. So delicious! Their service is super quick. I only order pick up from this location. Parking is a little tricky here. There is a small parking lot right behind the building.

Vegan (everything) and gluten free (some items) yes! Healthy? Questionable. Tasty? For sure yes. I enjoyed getting food from here tho I would mention that in the current configuration you should order on their site ahead of time or you'll get there and realize you should've ordered ahead and will wait for a bit. Taste-wise I found the Buffalo cauliflower to be yummy however they seemed to be kind of mushy... which was a disappointment 'cause I was hoping for something crispy. It could be they sweat in the take out container and got soft but yeah, not the best I've had. The hangry fries had good flavor but again the fries themselves could've been a bit crispier.

Horrible food. Super expensive. Order burrito. One of the worst burrito I ate in my life

Found this place from looking up vegan places to eat nearby. I, myself, am not vegan.. but I was with a friend who was.. so that was what got me there. I was a little surprised of the location.. a nice little corner spot. Ended up ordering the hangry fries and the Backyard BBQ burger.. and my friend just got the hangry fries. I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the burger was. Even the bun was soft and yummy.. I honestly kind of question if that was vegan or not.. heh.. but nonetheless, it was very good. The fries looked ok.. definitely tasted better than it looked.. lol. Not a shabby place. Nice, good food. Pleasant experience. Must've been.. I was so hungry I forgot to take photos of my food!.. crap..

I'm so glad we used our DoorDash credits on this place (as opposed to spending our own money), because their Buffalo Cauliflower Bites were one of the saltiest things in the world! Felt like we were eating salt straight from a container. Their Hangry Fries were meh, and their Backyard BBQ Burger was nothing special, didn't have too much flavor. Worst yet, I got super sick after eating and felt like I had food poisoning the entire night. Sad face. The only thing good about this place was their free Vietnamese coffee for checking in on Yelp and the nice cashier.

Yum! Interesting new vegan pick-up spot. I easily found parking in one of the neighborhood streets right next to the restaurant. There's no dine-in, so call ahead or order via the Yelp app. It was ready right on time for me, which was awesome. Both the jalapeño chicken sandwich and the backyard bbq burger were pretty good! I don't think they're the best vegan burgers I've ever had though - the flavors for some reason just didn't come together fully for me, especially on the jalapeño chicken sandwich. I think there needs to be more sauce to pull all of the flavors together. The fries on the side were yummy, but the salad was quite bland. For the price, I do expect the sides to be a bit more finessed. I checked in on Yelp and got a complimentary Vietnamese coffee, which was very good. I'll definitely be back to try their desserts!!

I was really looking forward to trying this place out because of the options and concept behind the restaurant.I ordered a "Build your Burrito" and Thousand Island burger with fried. Unfortunately the Burrito had no sour cream, salsa, or basically any of the other basics that come with a standard burrito so it was hard to eat for us. The only customization was "No Avocado" so I don't know if that got mistaken for no anything else.The Burger tasted great but was cold and the same was the case with the Fries. This was because the box was not properly sealed since Uber eats order arrived only about 10 mins after preparation was complete.I dont' know if this was just this specific order but I am willing try it again in the future with some different options before making a conclusion.

My first review of the new year and its 1 star? Not good-I wish i could have done better. We ordered food via caviar for New Years eve for 4 of us (and 1 toddler). It was a mix of burgers and appetizers. Something was really off with this locations food. It gave me major acidity and I was puking at 2 am on new year's day:(. The burger buns were hard and stale and I dont know if it was that or the fake meat which made me sick. Overall very disappointed!

Always delicious! Our favorites are the backyard barbecue burger and the hangry fries. Also ready very quickly. Great vegan comfort food!

No buffalo sauce on the cauliflower.. jackfruit burrito seemed to have nothing but red color rice and some jackfruit in a uniform taste and nothing else. The one star was for the burger - decent enough to not have us starving for the night! This was $50 down the drain ! Guys - I sincerely request you to put some sincerety and effort in your quality of food PLEASE!

This was the best hamburger I've had since I stopped eating meat! Will definitely be back!

Happy Hooligans ended up being a random last minute decision for lunch with my friend today so I really wasn't sure what to expect BUT I always trust her when it comes to trying out new vegan places and boy, did she see deliver once again! We ended up ordering a few different dishes as well as non-dairy thai iced teas and everything was just delicious! Ordering was quick and easy and everything was prepared pretty fast actually. I think we ended up waiting a little over 10 mins after checking out our order online, no complaints there. A solid 5/5 stars for this one and I can't wait to be back to check out the rest of the menu!

Fantastic food. The breakfast burritos are the best and are large enough to get 2 good meals out of. Great sauces and friendly staff to provide recommendations for different palates. Only nit is it would be nice to add a salsa to the variety of sauces available.
