Soul Veg City

*Ate at their Lollapalooza tent*Soul Veg City stood out to me at Lolla because of their plate which came with 'ribs', greens and vegan Mac n cheese. I am now vegetarian but I was vegan for a long time and GOOD Mac n cheese is harddddddd to come by, but this was the best I have ever had by far. It was delicious. Greens can be overly salty or under seasoned however theirs were perfect!!! I could've ate so much more. The 'ribs' were also delicious. Coated in a sweet BBQ sauce. I ate everything and it held me over for a number of hours in the heat. I also want to note their service was soooo good. Super efficient, friendly and consistent. I wouldn't be surprised if they sold out by the end of the day!

Soul Veg City has been on my radar for a while, and my husband and I were finally able to head over there for a Saturday lunch. They have several things on their menu that look good, but I was most intrigued by their hot bar so we could try a few different food items. We tried about 5 different items, and everything was delicious. My fave was probably the mac and cheese. The hot bar is $9.95 per lb, and our container of food ended up costing about $16.We shared a Peanut Butter and Berry Smoothie, which is a bit pricey at $8, but it was really tasty. I scooped up a piece of Sweet Potato Pie before I'd noticed that there were even more dessert options I could have selected from. Sweet Potato probably wouldn't have been my top choice out of all the other cake flavors they had available, but honestly, no regrets.There is a spacious area for dining, so we sat down to enjoy our food. Counter service was attentive, and I am already looking forward to a return visit. I did notice on their Yelp page that they have had some Health Code Violations, so I'm really hoping they're able to resolve those so they can continue to make delicious vegan food in a healthy environment, https://www.yelp.com/inspections/soul-veg-city-chicago.

If you have live on the south side of Chicago and have never eaten here, shame on you! What a hidden gem of REALLY GOOD FOOD, particularly the Southwest salad and various nutritious smoothies!

I highly recommend this vegan spot. It's a local favorite. I got a strawberry heaven smoothie and some items from the hot bar: a biscuit, fried gluten (similar to fried chicken), a chickpea cake, egg (tofu scramble), and some potatoes. The chickpea cake and fried gluten surprised me--it was really well-seasoned. The biscuit was also flaky.The strawberry heaven smoothie had a great balance of banana and strawberry. Almost tasted like drinking cake. Tip: Pizza is unavailable everyday BUT Sunday. Prepared food starts at 11. Bathroom was very clean.

Really disappointed in this order. Food was well packages but very unsatisfying. Would not recommend or order again.

It has been almost 20 years since I last been to this location. It was great to see the recently totally revamped restaurant has not lost is ablitz it served great food.You can order off the hot bar. you pay by the weight. So you can get as much or as little of items on the bar as you wish. You can also order items to be prepared of the menu.Carrot cake: 3.5/5 moist and fresh but the icing was too sweet for meMacaroni and cheese: 5/5 no explanation neededCabbage: 4.5/5 crispy seasonedUnchicken patties: 4.5/Blackeyed peas: 3/5 no seasonings and kind of wateryOverall 4.5/5.0 Check them out

Heard good things about this restaurant and decided to give them a try. I ordered through DoorDash. The food was great! It's hard to find a restaurant that makes good greens, let alone one without meat. And the cornbread was great as well! The Zesty Cauliflower Wingz and Battered Mushrooms were perfectly seasoned and very flavorful! Enjoyed every bite. Will definitely return!

We came here Juneteenth weekend, and during one of my 'no red meat' phases. But even carnivores would find something here they'd like. I can't get used to the new name; it used to be 'Soul Vegetarian', which I like better frankly.Anyway, we came here for 'lunch' around 2 on Saturday. There are hot and cold bars, plus a cooler with desserts and pre-set meals. There is definitely less of a wait for the bars than ordering on demand. The portions are dished out by staff, it is not self serve.I got cabbage, 'rib meat', 'shrimp' stew, veggies, and cornbread. We also got sweet potato pie and soft serve peach for dessert. The front room for ordering was hot, with no air, but the dining area was cool, with a cooler of 'lemon water'. The food was fabulous, moist and maybe a little underseasoned! we were given salt and pepper. There should be labels on the food so you don't waste time asking what is what, but I realize the menu changes so that may not be feasible; there should also be a HEAT index! The shrimp stew was spicy; I can deal with spicy but it's good to know in advance. I may go next time just for the desserts; vegan is not the same as low-calorie, but it feels like it, ya know?

We stumbled across this yummy vegan restaurant on our way home and were pleasantly surprised. I was asking employees about the business and they newly renovated and expanded. The inside is beautiful and captures black excellence. You can order from a menu or from the hot bar which is by the pound. There is also a cold case and all raw options. I got a variety of hot items to try some food and everything was great. I'll be back Chicago.

Love the this place, the food has been amazingly delicious every time new to the vegan world and eating food like this helps understanding of how to eat good food that's also good for you
