Perfect

Was going to rate it 5/5 based on vibes alone but decided to wait to taste everything and it’s even better than I imagined. So friendly! The whole menu looks incredible. Got “The Bourbon and the Bird” with onion rings - super filling and so delicious! Great portions for the money. Will definitely be back.

Close to I64 and worth the detour!

Such a friendly place just off I64! We got The Classic fauxltry sandwich with THE FRIES!! Best fries we’ve ever eaten at a vegan restaurant!

Pros: The fries!, Affordable , Parking close by

Best vegan chicken sandwich

A good vegan chicken sandwich is hard to come by. Stumbled on this place during a work trip and had the best vegan chicken sandwich ever.

Pros: Food, Owner

They know what they are doing, and do it well.

Delicious vegan food in a nice simple space.
The seitan-based faux chicken is done very well with a crispy coating while avoiding being oily. That's a great combination. The sauces and toppings complete the sandwiches wonderfully well.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Faux chicken is on point, Toppings/sauces are great

Absolute Must - Like a Vegan KFC

Mouth-watering food and incredible service! My friend and I were visiting from out of town and the owner gave us extra sides in addition to our O.G. Chick'n Sandwiches for no charge. He also let us stay slightly later than closing time so we could really take our time and enjoy the insanely crispy yet juicy burgers and the scrumptious potato salad, japanese veggies, and creole mac n cheese. I'm dreaming of the food now that we're gone. If you're visiting from out of town you HAVE to try their chick'n to truly get a taste of Kentucky.

Pros: Exquisitely cooked food, Really kind, local staff and owner, Really varied menu/sides, more than just burgers

Cons: None

Great vegan “chicken”!!

The vegan chicken burgers were so good!!! Would highly recommend ordering the onions rings on the side. The food was a bit too salty after a while though… However, it was still very yummy!

Pros: Fully vegan, Great burgers

Cons: Too salty

Amazing!

We’ve eaten vegan chicken sandwich’s all over the US and these were the best! The service was top notch, and the fries have no right to be as good as they are lol.

Great food, greater vibes

They make their own seitan in house and fry it up to perfection! Portions are large, they’ve got a great patio out back, the owners are great to talk to and seem like really cool people. Don’t sleep on this one, go hang out and have a few, but maybe wear elastic waist pants when you do 😉

The best vegan chicken sandwich!

Definitely stop in to Cosmic Bird if you’re anywhere near Louisville. They’re entirely plant based and their chicken sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had. They have unique sandwich builds and each one I’ve had is delicious. Stop by and support this small business!

Pros: Unique sandwich builds, Cool space - awesome back patio!, Dog friendly

Foodie Fabulous

What are you looking for? Flavor? Crunch? Filling? Check, check, check. Cosmic Bird is bringing back the game to vegan restaurants in Louisville. Always on track with great choices and new ideas. Tried the Razzy today-ever had fried cheese on a v-burger and delicious ranchy bbq sauce? OMG. Go do it.

Pros: Service , Menu, New ideas

Cons: Where’s my tribe?

Best vegan chicken

I LOVE Cosmic Bird. He makes of the best chicken "fauxlty" sandwiches I've ever had. I was also able to try his gyro, which was also great. Vegan junk food at its finest! Prices are also great and the owner is so nice!

All vegan, all good!

I was so happy to finally make it here. The official opening is 01.12.24. Good location. Casual dining. Didn't try, but they have a Grab + Go Case as well. What I had was so good. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming. They have a table set up for Butterfly Valley Rescue & Sanctuary where I got to meet the owners.

Great food! Friendly staff!

We stopped in the new vegan restaurant on our way through Louisville. The owner makes a great chick’n sandwich (I had the O. G.). My husband had the Cosmic Breakfast Burrito. The burrito had a little heat and was very flavorful. We loved both of them!

We had a chance to chat with the owner during our visit. He just moved into the brick and mortar location around October 2023. There are plans to have live music and other events at the restaurant in the future.

Pros: Great food!, Friendly staff, Quick
