First time eating from Planted Soul ATL. At first I was hesitant because I was thrown off by getting a link and a locker to pick up my food. Still, I ordered the Good 4 the Soul entree and followed the directions to get my food. I must say the food was out of this world, good! The vegan chicken was the best I've had anywhere. The yams and macaroni and cheese were incredible! Whenever I want a taste of vegan Soul Food, I will order again from Planted Soul ATL. Might I add, the pick up concept works great too.

Best Plant Based food I’ve had thus far. I’ve been in my vegan journey since September. I live in Chattanooga and my friend lives in Atlanta. Anytime she comes in town I have her bring me food from here. This place never disappoints.

As an avid supporter of plant-based foods and black owned plant-based restaurants, I was disappointed with the food and the experience I received from this establishment. I chucked my negative experience up to just "a one time thing" until I saw the numerous similar reviews on Google. Here's the thing, I have no qualms with their business model. I for one am an advocate for seeing the faces of the people I'm spending money to eat at. It's a part of the experience for me and I believe in building relationships with people. I understand the need and importance of ghost-kitchens/shared kitchens in today's economy. Nevertheless, that is NOT an excuse for poor customer service with regularly delayed order. Nor is that an excuse to provide your customers with sub-par vegan food at comparable price points to other better vegan restaurants. My expectation is that if I can't see or talk to anyone and I'm only able to pick up my food and go, that food need's to be delicious. As it stands, nothing I ordered from their establishment has given me a reason to return. But, I'm someone who believes in second chances. I believe this establishment has the potential to provide a better food experience for their customers and look forward to seeing that expectation come to fruition.

I've eaten here a few years ago when they were Soul Vegan. I loved them then, and I love them now!As other Yelpers have attested to, large portions and scrumptious food. At a time when everything is so over inflated, it definitely feels great actually getting your money's worth. These meals can easily be split into two servings.I ordered delivery and my food arrived piping hot.I have no critiques. I am a fan!

this is one of the best places i've ever received food from. i was a bit unsure initially because i thought the pick up building was a little odd but it was 1000% worth it! the pickup location is a black warehouse, and when you order they'll send you a link to unlock a locker inside of the warehouse when your food is ready. there are numbered lockers on the inside wall, and all i had to do was click the link to unlock the locker and grab my food.i tried the good for the soul plate (yams, collard greens, mac, and fried chick'n) and i was happy to see the large portion! there was plenty of mac and cheese, and it was the best mac i've had as of posting. the yams were also exceptional. i'd recommend this plate because of the sampling variety.i was also interested in the wings, so i tried half bbq and half lemon pepper. the texture of the "chicken" was impressively realistic, and although the bbq was my favorite because of the sauce, i enjoyed the lemon pepper as well. the last thing i tried was the lobster melt. the fries that came with it were well seasoned, and the lobster melt itself held a lot of flavor. i didn't find the cheese to be sticky or glue-y, and thought the lobster was pretty accurate. definitely a good order.overall i'd definitely recommend because i could probably eat here every day! all the food was very well seasoned and packed a punch. the portion sizes are huge, the mac and cheese is a must-try

Food was okay! It's a food hub so don't expect to be seated. Process was very quick and precise. Pickup from lockers and your good to go! Contactless pickup!
This restaurant is a part of a shared kitchen operative where you order online and pick your food from a locker. DON'T BE SCARED OR TURNED OFF! It was a simple process and the food was damn good.

This food was fabulous. And we sure did get a heck of a lot of it too. Every single thing we got was fabulous. The Mac & cheese blew me away, especially because it didn't have that gross fake cheese flavor most vegan cheeses have. This place is SO busy and appears to be takeout only. We ate at the cider bar nearby which worked out well. I absolutely loved this place!

First time visit on 3/21/23. Ordered the Vegan Oxtail came with collard green not seasoned and taste like waste, Mac and cheese bland not season, rice and assorted beans bland not seasoned top with mushroom represent oxtail (thank god I like mushroom's, however, you know...not season and cornbread. I ordered a size of mac and cheese because I did not fully read the description. Mac and cheese was included w/meal. My bad. However, I was disappointed with the entire meal. This is a food hall that you can order and pickup. No eating area. You have to go to Forresteatery.com to order and pay. They will text you once order is ready and it took them about 30 minutes to prepared order. In text you will receive a locker number. Once you go back in you and to check-in. Don't unlock to locker until you have checked in. They gave a timeframe of 30-40 so order before heading that way to location. I did not know, so I sit patiently in the car. Oh, there are a variety of vendors servicing this location. Giving 3 star ONLY because of the portion size (large amount) and in total paid $30.98 (Oxtail $21.95 and size Mac and cheese $6.75) plus tax. More than likely will not go back. Munch on the one hour ride home and all could said was "Hmm" hoping the favors would kick in. I loved nothing about this meal but maybe the cornbread. It just was under seasoned. Will say I'm not a vegan, but plant-based. It's my plan to season to my liking and enjoy hopefully. I paid too much to throw away. Thanks Planted Soul. I gave it a shot.

Hands down my absolute favorite vegan soul restaurant in Atlanta! If you like spicy, the Jamaican Me Crazy is a must. My other favs are the Mac and cheese with lobster and the Cajun Shrimp Pasta. The portion sizes are also large so you can share.

Visited Atlanta one weekend and decided to look for a vegan soul food restaurant. I found this restaurant via UberEats app and thought I'd give it a try. As a vegan for the last 2 years I must say this is the best vegan soul food I've ever had! Especially the macaroni and "cheese" which I think the restaurant did an excellent job as I haven't come close to any other vegan restaurant/company doing the same. Next time I visit Atlanta I'm definitely stopping by this restaurant again. I've already recommended it to my family and friends who live there to try it out.
