Native Foods Cafe in Chicago

I'm not a big fan of fake meat and fake cheese. Options were decent and food quality was very good - just not my cup of tea (at least in the dishes I ordered). Also I had ordered the fake meat to be removed (it was a takeout order) and it still was on the order and it was too cold to return it. Threw most of it out.

Had a great time in a fun atmosphere. Typical specialties done right. Great service from Native Foods. Stop by for two for one yard drinks!

I love this place. Vegan friendly meals is what I adore and the flavors are strong. None f the food is made to be crazy, but you can easily spend under $30 for a meal for 2 with a large appetizer. The place is accessible and had clean bathrooms. Super casual dining, you order at the counter and you take a number. Get the Oklahoma, that was the main dish that seems to be best bang for buck. The vegan cheeses are made in house so the coconut taste isn't avoidable in the mac and cheese, but still very satisfying. Five stars because I can go back 3 more times and get another discount using their mobile app!

Outstanding vegan plant based Thanksgiving Dinner deliciously prepared. My friend was totally amazed at how many guest with reservations to eat a vegan dinner instead of eating turkey. My only regret I did not bring plate home. Thanks Native Foods Cafe we will come again.

I love this place. The "chicken" and waffles is a yummy treat and the Macro Bowl always hits the spot!

Employees are friendly and patient. And of course, the meals are delicious! The atmosphere was quiet.

These restaurants claim (they have more than 1 restaurant) they have compassion for animal welfare, and environmentally sustainable practice, but this is a lie.... They don't. They are like those products that try to trick people w a statement like "Finished product not tested on animals"... Well everything before pouring ingredients in smaller containers was most likely tested n animals...I went to this location few days ago. I used the restroom. Each stall has PLASTIC (NOT GOOD FOR THE PLANET,) air fresheners and the sink too. THESE AIR FRESHENERS TEST ON ANIMALS... They have Glade and Renutiz... These brands test on animals, so native foods don't care about the animals that much.... They are fake.... They need to eliminate and replace that garbage they have and buy products that don't test on animals... Enough is enough... Stop supporting products that support and practice Animal testing.

Good food. All vegetarian / vegan. Highly recommended.

Ask for Santana she is awesome!!! Great atmosphere and great location on the strip!!!! Alvaro the manager is great as well!

The food was delicious great customer service very patient with my confusion of not knowing what i wanted lol. Great place to eat most def coming back

Horrible rude staff. Got there before 8 pm. Was open until 9 pm. But all the chairs are up, drink machines empty, deserts covered. "Aren't you open until 9?""You can still order."Really. Sit among the chairs on the tables while you clean around us, can't order any fountain drinks or see anything in the cooler? Thanks! Over an hour before your posted closing time.Never again will I go to a Native Foods. Rude af.

This place has serious quality control issues. I ordered Nachos (last resort) for delivery 02/02.. I totally understood that it would take a min because of the Super Bowl and might even be soggy/avocado a bit brown.. okay.. sure.. I paid extra for this avocado and there were black mold spores all over every slice. Thankfully caviar is awesome and refunded me. Native foods is the lowest quality vegan food in Chicago. Not sure how they’re still open when their cooks cut open black avocados and serve them. Will not be returning and advising others to do the same.

Always great food. Love that its ALL vegan. Very healthy alternative without even knowing!!!

We had a nice time here! The menu was full of options and the food was tasty! We got a good amount of food for just under $45. Their vegan cookie was amazing & so were the plantain chips.

I adore this Native Foods because they seriously have the BEST staff!!! Patrick is amazing and everyone is so friendly and chill. The food rocks, I love the nachos ... I love the huge variety of options and it’s amazing that everything is plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free!!! If you haven’t been here yet, there are several here in Chicago so get in there already!!!

This place is always a great stop for vegetarians and vegans. You don’t have to be a vegetarian to eat there though as they have plenty of meat substitutes that would satisfy all diners! They have a variety of options and flavor profiles which I love. I was especially pleased with the Thai Brussel sprouts that I had for an appetizer. The sandwiches are good, but I usually recommend going away from the burgers as you can get similar burgers at other places.

First time I tried the big kahuna burger delicious and juicy even u will not feel different from meat 🍗 at all then my second time I tried the meatballs also great taste friendly staff your order will come fat. But the only thing it's a lot of greasy. Definitely, I will come back.

I really do love this place, especially the Big 'Ol BBQ Burger, sweet potato fries, and the lavender lemonade. It would get 5 stars if the prices were slightly better, and there's real inconsistency with the oatmeal cream cookies - so I've stopped getting them. Get the Native Foods app!!!

The food quality is excellent. Always very friendly.

I miss some of the old stuff but I always come back. Good, consistent food. Lots of options. Something for everyone. Very nice service & location always seems to have parking.

I've been to several other Native foods in Chicago and this one was by far the worst as far as food quality OR maybe things have changed in the few months I haven't been to Native foods. The portion seemed much smaller than other restaurants and the bun was different on the double cheeseburger. The best part of my experience was the friendly cashier who was multitasking and still putting her best foot forward. I was able to get $5 off by downloading their app. Maybe I'll just try a different dish next time..

Native Foods is a great in between for both diner-type American comfort food and healthy fare. I have loved their dishes which surprises me because I typically dislike fake meats and fake cheeses. Hsppily, I've taken non-vegans there and they've loved it, and have been really surprised how good vegan food can be.

My favorite vegan restaurant. The staff and manager are great. The food is amazing. So good. The cauliflower dippers are out of this world. There’s nothing like them.

Easily my favorite vegan restaurant. Definitely try the Chicken Bacon Avo Club sandwich

So tasty! Their moon pies are to die for (especially the strawberry). Great price for vegan food

I'm not a vegetarian but still enjoy this place. The food tastes good considering it's all plant based. I had the bbq salad. Many toppings, great flavors and portion. I subtracted a star because besides a couple salads there are not many keto options. Also, everything here is a bit expensive. Great service by the way. Very friendly employees.

I tried the orange cauliflower & rice combo but it wasn’t as yummy as the other locations cos it was a little too saucy but it’s all good and still delicious

Always great food here. I've recently went plant based and it's my go to restaurant.

Really good food, open during covid with a limited menu & the staff was really nice

Great vegan food (and I'm a carnivore!). Fresh ingredients and the lavender lemonade is to DIE for. The chocolate cupcake is another one of my favorite things.

I was really excited to try out Native Foods Cafe. It’s incredible that everything on their menu is vegan. With that being said, it was very expensive. There were four of us and it was well over $100, which we did not expect at all. Additionally, the cashier was a bit judgmental when we were asking about substitutions. She gave me a dirty look when I asked for my food with no sauce, and the same with my mom. The food was good, but I wish I had ordered something other than the biggest burger, which was quiet overwhelming

The Buddha Bowl was not good, imo, but the Chicken Run Ranch Burger and sweet potato fries were fantastic. The workers were super friendly as well. This place could use chopsticks.

Awesome again for the 7 th health day in a row. Fireman Joe

This place always has consistent and friendly staff and great food and it should be noted that I'm not vegan. For the heavy comfort food craving I recommend the portobello burger and sweet potatoe fries with the lavender lemonade (I mix it with the organic peach tea to soften the bite of the tanginess but it's still good alone) For lighter fare my go to is the Bangkok Curry Bowl which is made up of kale, brown rice, seasoned tofu, mixed vegetables typed off with a light creamy curry sauce which I love to order with the world's best seasoned fries. Price is cheap/moderate and the food very well worth it even for non-vegan meat eaters!

I always come to this location. The food is always delicious and the service is fantastic! 😍😊

I’ve been here twice and both times it was awful. Terrible service. Filthy restaurant. Rude staff. I also don’t like their food, but frankly, it’s an after-thought.

Please support this restaurant.This Native Foods location means a lot to me. I left an ignorant review for this place and I regret it. I didn't know what I was talking about. Then I made it worse by showing what kind of a jerk I am at a different time. The staff that work there are really nice people. They really try to make your dining experience a good one. They don't come to work for anyone's abuse. They have dreams and hopes too. I forgot that. They serve ethical food that arrives fast, in a clean environment. Please support this eatery or any other Chicago restaurant or bar.

Got four different apps omg so much FOOD plenty to share with your friends! Everyone is super nice and the drinks perfect

I'm not vegan. I eat here with my vegan wife. I also eat here on my own. So...that should give you a sense of how tasty the food is. It's refreshing, too. I rarely feel overly full. Unless I have the oatmeal creme sandwich. But that's worth the slight discomfort. So good.

Soooooo good. I got the “chicken” sandwich and I loved it. Also got a side of cauliflower wings and they tasted nothing like cauliflower(my non vegan sister was so surprised). Good job! My non vegan sister got mac n cheese and she enjoyed it! This cupcake is a must try!! OmggAlso got the the oatmeal cookie, and it tasted just like how I remember them tasting like. The cream inside made it a messy but it’s worth it.

Great vegan food, reasonable prices, fun staff, funky vibe in the restaurant. And the corporate ethos is right on target.

Great food awesome service. Not a long wait at all for food 😁 food is pretty good im not a vegan but great foodd 🔥😋👌

Always enjoy our meals here. (Desserts are a bit too sweet though.)

Great vegan options, great location.

My first time here and I really enjoyed the food. I got the fried chicken and waffles.

The food is so good I wish I could eat here every day.

The cool guy at the counter "Hey Boss..." Is the man. Makes you feel welcomed, gives suggestions on what's liked in whichever type of food you have a taste for at the time... And is just Chill. The lady floating around with the fake smile... Not so much. But it's a cool place nonetheless. Thanks Boss!

Nice place for some vegan versions of your favorite foods. There are plenty of tables and they bring the food out to you. The variety of food is impressive they have anything from Orange cauliflower to "ice cream" cookies. This might not be the healthiest food but it's delicious. Bathrooms are clean. Definitely get the app and invite your friends for some nice rewards.

1st time and my experience was great. Food and staff were AWESOME!!

Pretty good. Didn't realize it was meatless until too late. Totally worth it. Barely avoided the oatmeal cream cookies that looked amazing. Got the PO boy. Definitely heading back.
