elephant + vine

Impressive place with amazing flavors! Didn’t miss the meat 🥩 Black bean burger was filling and well balanced. Love the red onion that brings the burger taste to the max. Buffalo cauliflowers were slightly breaded and fried accompanied by carrots and a light ranch sauce. Thai salad 🥗 yum 😋 the tofu was perfectly crisp topped with very fresh ingredients pulled together by the Asian vinaigrette. How cute is the little note. 🦋💗🥰

elephant + vine has some of the best plant based food i have ever tried. the texture and taste of their plant based meats feel incredibly similar to the real thing and i found myself coming back multiple times. the staff members are such delightful people (and i totally recommend leaving them a nice message in the “special requests” section if you order via kiosk). the only somewhat negative thing i’d say is that the prices are in fact, very chicago (definitely more expensive than your average fast food place).

This is our favorite restaurant for a quick and fun family meal. Our kid loves the Ele Burger kids meal with the impossible burger. Their burger and french fries rival McDonald's non-vegan counterparts. We also always order the BBQ Cauliflower wings and the yummy fountain drinks (orange cardamom, strawberry dragon fruit, and lemonade!). The milk shakes are awesome too!

We ate here on a Saturday evening and the food was very slow to come out. Clearly, the restaurant was understaffed given how busy they were with takeout and to-go orders. Not only was it slow, the rice in the Thai bowl was way over cooked. Overall, I think the idea of this restaurant is good but the prices are way too high for the food being average. Had high hopes for this restaurant, but would likely go somewhere else for better Vegan options in the future.

Wow! I had the Buffalo Rice Bowl Seasoned Jasmine Rice, Hand-Battered Buffalo Cauliflower, Mixed Greens, Roasted Corn, Cabbage Slaw, Carrots, Avocado, Tomato, Ranch Dressing. The Hand Battered, fried cauliflower then covered in Buffalo Sauce was fantastic. The service was but super, super helpful and polite. I was thrilled to find a new lunch option. I’ll be back!!! And recommend to friends!
