    I ordered delivery, but i love this place for vegan food. There is no where to eat inside, its just pick up. I am sure the restaurant would be busy if they had a sit down option, but I am always grabbing food to go. So delicious and flavorful, you cant go wrong with any option on the menu. My only little critique is the vegan taco meat is a little too salty so I dont order it as much. Everything else is salted perfectly for me. The lemonade are so good but a little too much sugar.

    I was just visiting family in Chicago and the person at the front desk of the hotel we were staying at suggested this place! Game changer! I have been twice already! Great food and service!

    I come to “Can’t Believe Its Not Meat” quite often and Cj and Patience always help me when I cannot decide what to order. They have tried a decent amount of the menu and always know exactly what I should get when i’m trying new things. They are especially really kind and always greet me as-well as giving me great conversation. 10/10 I continue to come back just for their help.

    I just moved here and was so excited to find there is a vegan option so close. I love the app and they always send discounts. They even have a points system. How cute. Everytime I pick up the greeter is always kind. The food is the best vegan comfort in Hyde Park. Go check out this place! Worth it! Even in this snow storm.
