I had a yummy vegan kale Caesar “chicken” salad while sitting on their deck. Order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Definitely recommend.

It was my first time trying since they reopened at their new location.My Hawaiian chicken wrap was so good! It really hit the spot for lunch. I ordered to go over my lunch hour and they were very fast and efficient. Can’t wait to go back and try something up

Now located in the old Battle Axe (😪) bld. My 1st time. Love it! If u like a bit of spice try the Olmec bowl. I could not decide on salad since added kale to mine and did less rice, I picked the "Korean bbq" protein. So much flavor! I'm sure if I took this home hubs would have no idea its not meat.

I tried the new plant based burger for the first time and it was DELICIOUS!!! 5 stars all around and their new location is prime with parking in downtown Hickory. I highly recommend for a good filling lunch that doesn’t leave you feeling bloated and fatigued. Great atmosphere and energy as well! Here’s a pic of me over halfway through my burger lol. The Hawaiian bbq wrap is another favorite of mine!

They got a 100% health rating. So Proud of them. My husband and I come from New Bern to pick up his motorcycle and had to try this. He is vegetarian. He is in love with all the choices. He tried the Olemac bowl. He loves spicy. He said it was perfectly made and wish we lived closer or they would open closer to us. Best Cole slaw I've had it a long time.
