Vegan couple have perfected their cuisine - Edit
Vegelicious is a small cafe in a converted residence, though there’s ample space to eat outdoors when it’s warmer. We ordered a variety of dishes and were thrilled with all of them. The food, though delicious and filling, was not too heavy. We followed our meal with the best vegan cheesecake we have ever eaten.

Food that hugs you - Edit
Don’t judge by the cover! This is tucked in back road of a neighborhood and is like sitting down for dinner at a friends home. Inside seating is extremely limited (approximately 20’ x 10’), but they also have an outside tent. Looks like they do a lot of takeout too.
Read moreThe “no fluff” location and decor is because the owner is focused on food…which is probably why they continue to get high scores on Happycow.
Sweet server who obviously believed in the food and the lifestyle of eating as a vegan. A little more salty then I like (I cook with very little salt), but didn’t stop my husband and I from clearing our plates. Just like our mothers taught us!

Simply the best. - Edit
I love this place. I love the surprise. From looking at the neighborhood, the building exterior, and the tiny interior, I had hopes that the food would be worth it. It was more than worth it. the service, meals, drinks and desserts were superb. I was only visiting, but if I lived here, it would be difficult to eat anywhere else.

It was pretty good! - Edit
We both got the soulchick plates and it was delicious! The collard greens were great but the fried chicken was pretty dry and not as good as I was expecting. Mac and cheese was top notch.

Yum yum yuuum - Edit
Got the soul food plate and it was delicious! The Mac n cheese was up there for best vegan Mac I've ever had! I knew the cheesecake was probably going to be good but omg it was incredibly good! Would highly recommend this place if you are stopping by Nashville. It's in a quiet spot, the inside is small but there's also a tent set up outside. The owners and staff were so kind and nice. It's clear they care about good food and their customers, super friendly service! Price was pretty fair, left feeling full and very satisfied 😌 😋

Legit disappointment.. A rip off. - Edit
Pricey, which is expected and generally fine but not for what I got My gf bread option was cold hard white bread, gross. The burger was a solid 1/16 lb burger patty, mostly bread. Supposedly had sautéed onions but I saw none. Thank goodness it actually tasted good. I was so disappointed. Not to mention the fries… 8 fries, yea only 8 not just for me but for my husband also. Frozen bagged fries, seasoned well bud 8…. We spent $35 and tipped for two meals that were equal in size to one. I’ll never go back. No excuse. I’m sure the food is fantastic, but first impressions last.

Good but nothin to write home about - Edit
I expected more from the chicken sandwiches. It was interesting and had a nice flavor profile, but I think it should be called a tofu sandwich instead of a chicken sandwich since it’s just breaded tofu pieces. The home fries were fantastic though.

Soul food plate! - Edit
Lives up to the hype! We ordered the soul food plate, the hot soul chick plate, and a slice of carrot cake. It all tasted even better than I was expecting. The mac and cheese is to die for.

Excellent! - Edit
We popped in this place on our way to the airport and immediately fell in love with not only the food, but one of the owners. Great food at great prices. Even my non-vegan sister enjoyed the food. We can't wait to get back and try the brunch menu.

Totally Excellent - Edit
First time visiting my hometown of Nashville since before the pandemic. I found Vegelicious on Instagram. We were treated to a great meal and very welcoming and helpful staff. Everyone was happy with the meals- including 2 omnis. Make sure to leave room for desert.

Best vegan comfort food!!! - Edit
I’ve been craving some good southern food since going vegan several years ago-let me tell you, this place did NOT disappoint!! We came here while moving across country to NC, we will definitely be coming back when visiting Nashville. Super cute place in the middle of nowhere, the staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable! I ordered the Soulchic Plate- the “chicken” was spicy in a good way, loved the Mac n cheese and greens. Everything on the plate was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back!!

Yay vegan soul food - Edit
This place came up on all my vegan searches so I had to try it. It’s a cute little restaurant with lots of food options. I had the BBQ chicken and my husband had the hot chicken. Both were delicious. I was so full afterward, but had to try the dessert and I’m so glad because the strawberry cake and cheesecake were also amazing. Their sweet tea and ginger beer were good as well so you really can’t go wrong. Plus the owner and staff are so friendly.

True southern bbq - Edit
This place was AMAZING!! We met one of the owners (Kevin) who is absolutely one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. You can tell he has a lot of love and passion for what he does, because the food is incredible! I have had some dang good vegan BBQ in my life but this one is one of the better spots. Even my friends that aren’t vegan/veggie were in love!! I don’t think you could pick a bad option on the menu. If you are visiting town or live nearby, definitely support this local business. Not only is the food amazing, but the employees and owners are amazing and deserve your love and support! You will not be disappointed ❤️

Amazing taste - Edit
We got the fried chicken plate, original chicken plate, 2 drinks, strawberry cake, and coconut cake. All of it was extremely flavorful. The staff was SO nice and friendly. They had seating outside under a tent which was really nice as an option. We were definitely full from a plate a price and desert. My only complaint is the cost. It was about $15/plate. Cost about $60 for 2 people to eat (with deserts too of course) and had no leftovers. Overall would definitely go back but know I’m going to be spending the cash to go back. Potatoes and Mac was phenomenal btw
