Original Soul Vegetarian

This family-run South Side outpost has been serving health-conscious comforts for 40 years. And as one of the oldest vegan soul food restaurants in the country, they’re fully committed to creating nutritious food infused with a whole lot of homey flavor—and they do not disappoint. Go-to items include Jerk Nachos loaded with lettuce, soy cheese, tomatoes and—you guessed it—jerk seitan. Also a hit is the Marvelous Mushroom Burger, featuring a housemade patty teeming with white mushrooms, black eyed peas, and spices. Fresh juices and smoothies are on hand to wash it all down.
How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating.
