That burger is even better than the big mik!! This restaurant definitely got my vote. They need to open up more locations. Everything I've tried here since they opened is great."
"Wow!! Again im in love with this vegan spot!! The GRILLED CHEESE BURGER is sooooooo delicious and tasty. The fries always come a little soggy but they are still good. The WORLD FAMOUS CHIK'N NUGGETS were delicious and crispy. Get them without the sauce on top because they will be soggy but they were still tasty. The sauce is like a BBQ sweet tangy sauce.
