Chive Catering + Events

we love an all vegan restaurant. i was glad to find something in the area with so many vegan options. and once i saw they had a vegan banana pudding I was in. Unfortunately the food didn't hit as hard as I was expecting but it was still good. My mom ordered a salad which it looks like they pull from the premade section upfront. her carrots were moldy so we ended up splitting my dish. the girl working at the counter gave me a free dessert which was so kind of her. i got the soul bowl. fried artichokes, mac n cheese, collards, sweet potato, and coleslaw. The fried artichokes were good and a cool concept. The collards desperately needed some seasoning/salt but the slaw was realllllly good. the banana pudding was good but the whip cream was little too salty. at the end of the day I will always support an all vegan restaurant but I do not think chive would be my first choice in the future. I am open to trying other items though.

It's a bummer when your favorites change. I was craving the sweet rice bowl (no picture this time) and hunny artichoke appetizer that I ordered two weeks ago. The sweet rice bowl - the rice was bland and the sweet potato portion was small. The hunny artichoke was a huge disappointment. They're normally quartered and have a nice crunch. The artichoke hearts were not quartered so when fried, the batter doesn't stay on and it's soggy. When I asked about it, I was told, "that's how they come now." Sure, but why can't they be quartered by staff?

Chive Kitchen was the first all-vegan restaurant I ever tried & even now, 7+ years & many other vegan restaurants later, it remains my favorite. I tried it when I myself was vegan, but even now as a non-vegan, I often find myself craving it. I first discovered Chive Kitchen at a VegMichigan event where Chive Kitchen's head chef & founder, Susie Silvestre, was doing a cooking demo of their chili.Surprisingly, my favorite dish at Chive Kitchen to this day is their Michigan chili. I've personally always hated chili and was very hesitant to try Chive Kitchen's, but the moment I did, I was transformed. Their chili is one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted & ever since then, I've tried to try other place's chilis as well & they all fall SO short. I highly recommend you try a cup of this the next time you dine at Chive Kitchen. It's so scrumptious & I even brought it with me on several camping trips to heat over the campfire on colder events, which really hit the spot.I don't understand how they do it, but the food is so incredible here! They take making food to a whole new level. I really want to encourage everyone, whether you are or aren't vegan, to leave any qualms & whatever prior (mis)conceptions you have about vegan food at the door, & try this place because you really shouldn't knock it until you've tried it.Chive Kitchen is always doing special events as well & incorporating new & tasty dishes into their menu on a rolling basis. Every time I place an order here, I see new items on the menu that sound so good, I salivate just reading the description or seeing the pictures. Honestly, after writing this review, I'm craving Chive Kitchen again & will probably be placing an order online immediately after this. :)

Not vegan any more, extremely overpriced, and the food is mediocre at best. My girlfriend paid $11 for a measly portion of potato pancakes. My sweet rice bowl ($17.50) was okay, but there are SO many restaurants in this area with much better food--Seva, Aahar Indian, La Marsa (Middle Eastern), etc., whether you are vegan like I am or not. Oh, also, unless there is some very good reason why you can't stay open past 7 pm, it's absurd for a restaurant to close this early. Lots of people can't even get to a restaurant before about 6.

The food is delicious and the dining room and bar are really cute. It's not full service and food is served in carryout containers, but the staff is warm and welcoming, the drinks are fresh and cold, and the vegan faire is delicious! They also have a great selection of mocktails and wine. You just walk in and sit where you'd like and then order from the bar. They give you a table number and you pay up front when you leave. We had the pineapple fried rice and the fried artichoke bowl - both were so flavorful and delicious. I also had the minestrone soup, and that was hot and freshly made as well. Everything tasted great and I love the location - I will be back frequently, and especially when I am in the mood for a sandwich - they have a huge menu of those. Be aware - the menu is a little carb-heavy - I was thinking I might ask in advance if they could make cauliflower rice for me next time. I can't wait to return.

I haven't ate too many vegan sandwiches, nonetheless a vegan Rueben - but this was AMAZING. If I didn't live all the way in Texas I would come here at least once a week so I could try their whole menu. The people were so friendly, which just adds to the great food. They had deserts and drinks as well!

A vegetarian/vegan's dream!! I'm so grateful that a good vegan restaurant is here in this area.Pros:Good pricesGood qualityFast service (no-contact pickup)The artichoke po-boy is delicious (and huge!). It reminds me of a Big Mac.Cons:The jalapeño burger was a tad bland for my taste, but still pretty good!!I can't wait to come back and try more of the items!

Best gluten free dairy free Vegan Chocolate Beet cake Ever!!! My son has food sensitivities so it makes finding pastries and cakes he can eat a little tricky. When I found chive and saw the variety of gluten-free dairy free options, I was thrilled to see their chocolate cake on the menu so my son and everyone can eat the same dessert for special occasions. It was a crowd pleaser, and I will definitely be ordering my cake from them again.

WOW! Ate yesterday at Chive and even if you don't like eating vegan you need to check it out. Charlie at the bar crafted some of the best drinks I have had in a long time. This is with fresh ingredients made from actual fruit/herbs (not processed). Ate and left feeling good not heavy and tired. You have to go even just to have a good drink at the bar! Say hi to Charlie he made the experience even better!

First time here.....Service is great, food is AMAZING!! We had the Reuben, seasoned wedge fries (perfectly prepared), oat milk latte, ginger lemonata, sweet rice bowl, and the Goddess melt. Since it was our first time, we decided to try a number of options. For dessert, we topped it off with chocolate beet cake I would give 5 stars if a side came with the sandwiches. Chips, fruit, slaw....Overall, excellent experience, food prepared with love and care, served by Charlie (very kind and present) manager.
