★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1The Big Wac was so delicious. The wings were so tasty and came with carrots and celery a super plus. The Brussels didn't miss, and the margarita made me sing, literally. The service was immaculate. We will be back. Feel free to open one in Nashville, TN... 😆
June 05 · By TLMI can't get enough of this place. One of the best vegetarian restaurants I've ever been to. I will list a few things I have had, but the whole menu is rock solid. Before it became too hot, I loved to sit outside to eat this great food...and the juices???? Amazing!! Eggless rolls with the lemon dipping sauce, curry bowls (spicy is my fav), hamburger, " fish" and "chicken" tacos...etc! Don't miss eating this great food!!
June 28 · c jWe’ve been coming here for many years and always stop in when in Phoenix. Everything is always so good. I usually get the Big Wac with a side of thyme fries. A Soynami is a must, especially in the summer. You have to try it!
April 26 · Victora GallowayFirst time visiting. 5 star for the Big Wac, buffalo chicken and the bff. Fries are leaning towards the soggy side. Shake was also not solid enough.
September 29 · Tuck FongNice drink selection. Fruit cup is a good value. Ordered grits, received hominy. Kinda like ordering mashed potatoes and getting a baked potato.
