Best Sandwich of my vegan gluten free life. (I got the turkey pesto special made gf - gf bread sub turki for tempeh) Ive never had this hearty and tasty of a sandwich that was vegan and gf. Beyond satisfying. I want to try and copy it at home but idk if I can infuse nearly enough flavor to match it! Ty ♡

As someone who is neither vegetarian or vegan, I was skeptical of if this would be a restaurant I'd enjoy. But, much to my surprise, this is some fantastic food! I thought that the mushroom burger and boneless "wings" were fantastic takes on burgers and wings, and in some cases I'd go as far to say that they tasted better than the real deal. While I am sure I'll continue to eat as I have previously, this restaurant reminded me that with enough talent and care, vegetarian food can be delicious, and in some cases better than their meat counterparts. I totally recommend coming here!

As a non-vegetarian/vegan, Green Owl has never disappointed. The burgers are incredible, and I never go without getting the Owl Fries. Cute date/hangout spot!!

This was my first time coming here. Their food was good, I enjoyed it, wasn't blown away but was satisfied. The staff was very friendly and informative. They also didn't mind going the extra step to satisfy my friend and I with our drinks & meet our expectations. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for good vibes and good vegan options.

Tasty food, filling. Everything is vegan. He got a "meatball" sandwich and I got a salad with kale and quinoa. Both tasty, but I would recommend the meatball sandwich.
