The food was really good! I had a burger, fries, and lemonade-and enjoyed it, very much! It has been a long time, since I have eaten this way, it was fun for me, to feel so reminiscent of this guilty pleasure!

I had no choice but to leave this review as I had lunch here a couple times and it wasn’t the best. My experience with this business has been disappointing all around. The food is mediocre, nothing to really rant and rave about tbh and I’ve tried a couple things on the menu. The dishes lack developed flavors and aren’t hitting the mark. I’ve had way better vegan dishes across the city such as Kale My Name & Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat. I think ppl should look elsewhere as their menu is childish in my opinion and not executed well. And my last and most serious issue as to why I would never eat here again is one of their employees has served me food on 2 different occasions and the back of my nose was immediately on fire. This man’s hygiene is so poor my eyes have watered and I’ve gagged. It has made me weary to continue to eat here because if an employee is allowed to smell that obscene, what are the standards in the kitchen for cleanliness?! It just seems unprofessional and negligent to have someone smelling that poorly in a space where ppl eat.

I've tried the bean burger, baja burger (impossible patty), and the SoCal wrap (sweet chili cauliflower). Good variety of flavors. My favorite was the baja burger! The bean burger was average. The sweet chili cauliflower tasted good even on day 2.

100% Vegan Restaurant & delicious Burgers! I have ordered the following items and will rate them with the help of my tastebuds and opinion! My favorite burger was the „Korean BBQ Chik‘n Burger" with added ranch. 5/5 - Soft, tasty, juicy burger buns and delicious chik‘n! The second favorite burger was the Mammoth Burger! Also great taste! Both came with a side of fries. The fries are regular fries. Fries: 3.5/5 in addition to the fries, I ordered sauces/dips: ranch dip: 5/5. Sriracha Aioli: 2.5/5 spicy and little to almost neutral taste. Next burger in my personal ranking would be the Buffalo Chik‘n. I have been a vegan now for close to 4 years. I do however remember the tastes of food from before I was vegan. This here burger may not be my favorite because I never really was a buffalo fan I. The first place BUT! Very authentic and close to its original taste. Therefor, I can recommend this to the Buffalo lovers! Last burger in my ratings is the „Eleburger" the name made me curious, I ate it and it's classic, standard, nothing out of the ordinary burger. 3.5/5. in my opinion, the mustard taste was slightly too dominant. All in all, I will say that this is a great place to order from! I never visited the restaurant itself and only ordered and can therefore not speak on the actual restaurant itself. It is however a wonderful experience, ordering from a 100% vegan restaurant, without having to ask about animal cruelty free ingredients. 100% plant based and I can and will recommend this Restaurants menu! I have pictures, they may not look fantastic; but the taste sure was. Enjoy and Bon Appetit! Take care! #Veganuary

I had a terrible experience! They canceled my order and was not offered a refund. They did not offer any additional support. They was my second time trying them first time food was very cold and under cooked! If you decided order from them double check everything!

If you're craving an old fashioned burger and milkshake type of vibe this is definitely the place to go! The cauliflower wrap was tasty and the milkshake was not my favorite, but I would certainly try a different flavor next time!

The Hand Battered, fried cauliflower then covered in Buffalo Sauce was fantastic. The service was but super, super helpful and polite.I was thrilled to find a new lunch option. I’ll be back!!! And recommend to friends!

We love Elephant and Vine and are frequent visitors. My whole family eats vegetarian so it’s amazing to have so many things to choose from. Location is great, service is friendly and efficient, and food is delicious every single time! Even if you’re not a vegetarian, you’ll still love it:) ?

Great place for meatless options. I went here with the intention of not eating meat, so there were a lot of wonderful veggie options. I was surprised at the varieties of food offered. The service was very nice and fast, and the food was good. The portion is a good size, although not particularly filling. To be honest, I do not really understand the name of the item I got (Thai Crunch), since I did not really feel like the bowl was Thai inspired. However, it was very good and I really liked the dressing. The inside of the restaurant was also very clean and they have recycling (sustainability!). Nice addition to Evanston.

Nice plant-based restaurant with many vegan and vegetarian options. Fries were thin and crispy and the strawberries and cream shake was delicious. There wasn't much seating, and the seating wasn't the most comfortable, but we were able to snag a table during the lunch hour. There is metered street parking available right around the restaurant.Vegetarian options: We split the Buffalo Cauliflower Bowl and the BBQ Burger with fries as well as the Strawberries & Cream shake.
