AMAZING

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly and gracious staff, and absolutely DELICIOUS food. Had the Midnight Mischief burger with onion rings, absolutely divine. Food arrived quickly and prices are very reasonable. Will be taking my nonvegan friends and family here until they stop saying my diet must be sad/boring :-)

Pros: Extensive menu with lots of options, Delicious homemade sauces, Rich, satisfying comfort food

Amazing!

I ordered a midnight mischief burger, onion rings, and a chocolate shake. I often crave these foods but it’s very rare that I can find all of them in one restaurant. I was so excited to find this place and they didn’t disappoint! The burger had the texture, taste, and even greasiness that everyone wants in a smash burger. The onion rings were crispy and delicious, and the milkshake was creamy. If you’re vegan you have to come here

Pros: Delicious food, Delicious food, Nice staff (and delicious food )

Cons: None

Wanna try Salads in House

I ordered the salad via delivery and the French fries. Chinkn Chop Salad was good, but a little soggy when getting it via delivery. The salad was still very good, but I hardly used any dressing due to condensation, so I wanna try the salads in house or maybe a different option with delivery. So many things looked good though and the fries were great; cooked to perfection.

Twice in one week

We live quite a drive from here but at stopped in for my birthday earlier this week and became obsessed. I had the vegan chicken sandwich which was crispy and tasty, along with a chocolate milkshake that was to die for.
My husband shared my shake plus got their cola, it was so refreshing and I loved that you could see through it.
He had one of the franks and we shared fries (big mistake - they were too good to share). We came back today and I had one of the smash burgers and he got the tenders.
The service is fast and friendly and the good is definitely worth an hour drive. I’ll keep coming back.

Update:
We come a couple times a month! Since then their menu has grown. I love their snack wrap (its called something else). Also obsessed with their coconut soda, it’s incredible. My husband gets the chocolate dessert every time we visit.

The Best!

We came here after a day at Dutch Wonderland and in an area with very few vegan options, this place is it! They have a lot of options on the menu for both adults and things that work for kids, too. The milkshakes were awesome, too! According to my daughter, this is “the best place in the history of the world”.

Pros: Many options , Menu adaptable for kids , Milkshakes!

Mostly delicious

I was really excited to come here on a work trip to Lancaster.

Plenty of gf options which is always awesome.

I had the blackout gf as well as fried and a lemongrass float.

The sandwich was really great and flavourful, although gf is without the breading and I don't think they seasoned the unbresded chicken patty, that would have been a nice addition.

Fries were delicious and super crispy, although I didn't find the maple Dijon sauce to be very good.

The lemongrass float was awful, just tasted like seltzer and ice cream. I went to the counter and asked about it because it literally had zero flavour, the young woman working added an extra shot of the lemongrass to it for me which was very nice of her, however it didn't change the taste of the drink at all. I just left it untouched. She did ask if it was better and I told her no and Thay was the end of that.

At one point when my friend and I were waiting for our food the young woman working the counter was filling a beverage container and sneezed openly into the air (bent over) while holding the cup and did not wash her hands and proceeded to fill the drink. I definitely thought sneezing into the open air while preparing a drink was gross and then to not wash your hands or throw out the drink container and start fresh was not ideal.

I'm not sure if I'd come back when next in Lancaster. The sandwich was good but the rest of it was kinda gross and disappointing.

Tasty but not enough fresh veggie options

The sandwiches are good. I just wish they had a side that was more healthy and not fried

A new favorite!

I saw a friend post about this restaurant on social media a while back and was thankful to know about it when I need a dinner option while driving through the area tonight. My chicken sandwich (the one with bacon, bbq, ranch), onion rings, and cherry float were amazing! I’d rank it up there as even, if not better than, with places like: Plnt, Natuve Foods, HipCityVeg.

Pros: All vegan, all tasty, Reasonable prices (and big portions), Parking is in a plaza

Comfort Plant-Based Food

I had to come check out all the hype. The food was tasty and good. Wish I loved closer I would try the other food items. The fries were good. The OG Smash burger was super good. The cherry Cream Float so good. The chick'n cheesesteak was very fulfilling.

Pros: Customer service, Wait time, Food

YOWZA!

We each had a frank and shared onion rings and a milkshake. Everything was delicious. Best o rings ever; crispy, full of flavor, and good combo with their house sauce. Vegan vanilla milkshake? YES! Will we travel 40 minutes to come back? YES!

Pros: Taste of food; dipping sauces, Customer service, Cleanliness

What a sweet surprise!

So thankful we Happy Cowed this on a drive. As a vegan, seeing milkshakes, whoopie pies, AND soft serve on one menu is enough to entice me back!(bc I couldn’t squeeze them in on one visit ;). We enjoyed two of the burgers and a veggie dog. The toppings are scrumptious. Sweet potatoes fries are great too! I love the paintings!

Pros: Decor , Great burger choices, Easy parking

Omfg I’ve been waiting for this forever

Lancaster has some fantastic places with vegan food, but what has been missing is a simple vegan sandwich shop. Boom. We got one! Burgers, chicken sandwiches, sausage Sammies - and some killer fries. Simple fast food style vegan fare. I’ve been there a dozen times - it has never disappointed.

Pros: Everything

worth the wait

a bit of a wait, but that can be expected during opening week. the burgers and tenders were delicious. can’t wait to come back to try the sandwiches, franks, and milkshakes

edit 3.31.25: wait times have decreased the longer they’ve been open. i’ve been back multiple times. chickn sandwich and milkshakes are top tier as well.

Vegan Cravings Satisfied

Bad Garden Kitchen was oh so good. The cherry soda float was a nice treat and the Smoke Show chicken sandwich hit the spot. There was a nice sized crowd and I really hope they continue to grow. I can't wait to return and try some more menu items!!

Among the best burgers I've had, period

I got the Double Cross burger and it was nothing short of amazing. I think you could give this to your average non-vegan and they'd have no idea that it's fully vegan. Everything from the patty, to the cheese, to the dressing, to the vegetables tasted great. Even the cheese was nice and melty. Prices were reasonable as well. My girlfriend got the chocolate milkshake, which I had a sip of and it was very enjoyable too. I really couldn't think of a single thing I didn't like about this place. Can't recommend it enough.

Pros: Great burgers, Good value, Easy online ordering ahead of time

Cons: None!

Amazing! You have to try it!

Got the mushroom and quinoa burger and onion rings. Everything was perfect. No notes! Awesome options for all your non-vegan people with impossible patties and chik’n that will satisfy. Prices are also super reasonable !

Pros: Mushroom burger, Atmosphere, Helpful staff
