About this restaurants :
Very Low-key, vegan fast-food place that definitely makes some incredible food. My black bean burger was the best I’d ever had – and that includes the aqua fava aioli and cashew “cheese” which were both excellent. The desserts they carry were also delicious. So many vegan places fall short with odd imitations and overly sweet concoctions – not Evolution. Carefully considered vegan food full of flavor that highlights what plant-based ingredients can do. The extremely laid-back dining-in vibes are nothing special but the food hits FAR above what this humble place projects. This food-loving omnivore will absolutely be going back for more.
This is a very interesting place! I love that is so unique! The drive thru I’d always fast and food is always super good too! I love coming here for a quick bite to eat 😋 The staff are always super nice as well! Highly recommend this place if you are in the area! Thank you to everyone at this location. You guys are awesome!!
Have been going here pretty regularly for over 5 years now, but I won’t be going back again after today. The food can be really good when they have all the menu items in stock and when it is actually cooked properly, but that is usually not the case. For several years straight they would ALWAYS forget at least one item from the order. They’ve gotten slightly better about that, but the food is still super hit or miss. If they run out of something they will continue to take orders for that and just give you whatever they have on hand. Today I ordered a tempeh sandwich and instead got a really gross burnt chopped up black bean burger (see pictures). Whatever they gave me was not even close to tempeh or even soy based, it was pure burnt black beans. This has happened before too, ordered a wrap got a sandwich on a giant focaccia bun. Last year for several months straight they had the greasiest soggiest brown fries ever, and they just acknowledged they got some bad potatoes and kept serving it for several months straight. Half the time their ranch is bad (taste like they forget to add any salt, its almost sweet). Tried to call in about my order issue today but no one answers the phone there or returns calls. Whoever owns this place has no idea how to run a business, no wonder they have such a bad reputation these days.
This place…like I love that it exists but the food quality is steeply declining while the price moves up.
$65 for three “burgers” and two shakes is highway robbery. Additionally, the buns were so stale and crumbly that they were mostly inedible. See photo. Just…the food just isn’t good.
The date shakes were very good and the service is always good.
atmosphere is really nice. food was just delicious. a lot of gluten free options. lasagna is worth trying
