    The food here is seriously phenomenal, I've tried almost everything except the burgers but they looks great, too. Pictured are the cauli tacos, curry rice bowl, and the breakfast sandwich. Service is fab but unfortunately the desserts are only ok. Vegan desserts are definitely tricky but these aren't very flavorful.

    This is my favorite burger place in the city! They have the best burgers and French fries! So crispy and tender inside. I could definitely recommend going there even just for those French fries! These guys are always busy and you should be lucky to get a table there on Friday night. Also prices are good. You can find a picture of menu attached. So if my mom made burgers they would be this delicious! 100% natural, 100% love.

    First of all... I had no idea this place existed until the other day but I’m sure glad I found it. The food was PHENOMENAL and the staff was so polite. My order was ready way faster than I expected. Anyone could enjoy their food, even meat eaters. Their chick’n bites SENT ME!!! They were better than some of the real chicken bites/tenders/nuggets I’ve had in the past. The first bite was like heaven, and before I knew it I INHALED my meal. I was literally screaming (joyfully) the whole time I ate about how good it was. I was sad when it was over. It’s been almost a week and I can’t stop thinking about it. THEY NEED TO OPEN MORE LOCATIONS! EXPAND PLEASE, I BEG. The world needs more MTHR Vegan restaurants. 1000/10, MUST TRY!

    Yummy yum yums! What a great addition to the neighborhood! Just what we needed here. Rich flavors, yummy taste, texture & not only vegan but eco friendly packaging! Bravo! Chik-in are delicious! Buffalo chick-in are yummy! Impossible burger with special sauce is A1! I'd love to have the meatless parties to be slightly thicker & a tiny flavor. Other than that... cannot wait to dine in! P.s: can you have all sauces in paper containers?

    UPDATE: They underwent a massive remodel and rebranding, changing their entire menu. They no longer have the beyond meat burger on their menu which, as a vegetarian, is a major thing that drew me here. Major lost opportunity for the vegetarian market because it’s super hard to find a good burger. They took all the specialty burgers off the menu and jacked up the prices ($12 for a single burger with no added toppings???). The remodel is fine, but you can no longer sit at the bar, which was my favorite spot. Changed their fries to shoestring instead of the substantial ones. Only plus is the happy hour frozen sangria which was pretty good. Definite bummer, will not be coming back here and will restart my search for my favorite veggie burger in the city. - - - (old review) I love this place! Service was excellent and quick and their beyond meat burger made me tear up it was so delicious. I added on American cheese, grilled onions, and special sauce, it made my night. 100% recommend

    Thank you MTHR Vegan - what a find! Thank you Kino too for all your suggestions. I had the Nacho burger which was to die for and my wife had the nuggets. Perfect if you’re a Vegan in NY and want some fast food! A must visit! Make sure you leave a postcard there too!

    The restaurant was unique and really cute. It was a bit confusing to find it but it's located in a really nice plaza. The food was extremely affordable and even though it's a vegan restaurant (I'm not vegan) the food was amazing. The service was great.

    Best vegan restaurant in NYC, period. Burger + fries/salad + beer for ~$15 is a great deal. Plenty of options and great flavor. Portions are big. The staff is super friendly.

    The food was so good and the workers were great! It was my first time in NY and I got lost and ended up getting to the restaurant 15 minutes after closing. They waited for us without even knowing we were still coming. Thanks! When I'm in NY again I'll stop by🥰

    Me and my partner visited New York for 5 days and we came here everyday without fail! Amazing incredible vegan food and the staff are so lovely. It's one of our all time favourite places and we've been vegan for 5 years. I just wish we had one over here. Thanks for the amazing service!

    I love this place. It’s a full vegan restaurant and the food is so delicious. They have a lot of options of burgers, tacos and salads. I really liked the cauliflower wings. Would definitely recommend eating here.

  • 5/5 Roseanne C. 4 years ago on Google • 273 reviews
    Love this place. Staff is really nice. The outside seating area is perfect. It's a quiet spot hidden in NYC, to enjoy some really good vegan food. I'm craving it now as I write this. The Tofu Curry Bowl was amazing.

  • 4/5 Sonia M. 5 years ago on Google • 144 reviews
    Great service and good quality food! We stopped here before watching Avenue Q and the overall experience was great. They have cool frozen drinks (sangria/margarita and caipirinha/margarita). The prices were great for the area and the waitress was very nice and attentive. Will definitely make sure to come back again!

    Every time I try to go here something happens that prevents me. I got confused and wound up at the sister burrito shop, I arrived to late for service, etc. I finally got to try a burger and I recommend their Mthr cruncher. Slaw, pickles, crunchy potato chips. Yum. Guac and salsa was skimpy for the price. Jack fruit needs to be broken up and have more flavor. Stick with the burger. Next time I will try the fries.

    Absolutely amazing!!!! Loving every bite - heavenly & perfect. Insanely brilliant service - explaining a range of the great food from Sandra - what a lovely & beautiful soul - very kind of her. Epic experience for my first food in NYC Boom Boom Boom Vegan in the House!!!

    Yes yes yes. A hundred times yes. Vegan Mexican food for the win. Very tasty..

  • 5/5 Stephanie P. 4 years ago on Google
    I had the crispy cauliflower tacos and brownie...absolutely faultless! Flavour, portion size, price, service from Drew and Sandra...all perfect! The only bad thing is that I discovered this place on my last night in the city! I will be back as soon as I land next time in NYC

    I LOVE this place. The Beyond BBQ burger is better than ANY beef burger I've ever eaten, period! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is like family. Thank you, MTHR!

  • 5/5 Phil G. 3 years ago on Google
    Really excellent vegan fast food. Great for pre-theatre as in a convenient location for Broadway and unlike a lot of fast food won't leave you hungry. Lovely environment with outdoor seating, a real hidden gem.

  • 5/5 Rachel B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place for quick vegan food. No waiter, self service. Not a lot of tables. Food was awesome! Not a lot of frozen margarita options and flavors like block heads.

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great selection, solid vegan fast food and fast service. Indoor and outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 em j. 4 years ago on Google • 26 reviews
    The employees were helpful and kind! The tables were clean! Food is served in to-go containers which was nice! We had coconut curry, nacho burger, tater tots, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, whoppie pie and a brownie over the 3 days we dropped by and those were amazing, so I am assuming everything is amazing (:

  • 5/5 Sijo K. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is awesome I just had a meal here and I feel like I could do anything. Energized with healthy vegan food in the care that it took to get these flavors to complement each other so well on my palate.definitely stop by this place if you're in the area and have some time to grab a meal mthr vegan

  • 5/5 Purvin P. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow. The Nashville chicken sandwich was amazing. I can't believe I have waited this long to have it. A new benchmark in vegan sandwiches has been set for me today.

  • 5/5 Sandy Q. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place, they make such great vegan food, they very quick and polite.

  • 5/5 Jason K. 3 years ago on Google
    The rise and shine is my absolute favorite. If only all vegan food could taste this yummy. Good sweet potato fries and friendly staff to boot.

  • 5/5 Samantha M. 3 years ago on Google
    WOW! I had heard good things about MTHR but hadn’t tried it until tonight. The Nashville chicken burger is out of this world. Almost couldn’t believe it was vegan. The cauliflower wings are also the best I’ve had. Not too much batter fried but just crispy enough. Salad was also delicious as was the Baja fish tacos and the coconut curry bowl. The latter was almost like a tikka masala. can’t wait to keep trying more things from here! Also love that they use sustainable packaging!

  • 5/5 Doug S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food and super friendly staff. Outdoor seating is a big plus.

  • 5/5 Ben B. 3 years ago on Google
    I am not a vegan and this place is legit. The impossible burger was delicious, the "chicken nuggets" delightful, and the nashville chicken sandwich was fantastic and spicy. Their spicy additional sauces for dipping are fun and wonderful too. I ate my weight in vegan food as a typical chubby American and felt great about it. Am I helping the environment by eating vegetarian based food....perhaps...but that isn't really important is it? What is important is how good this place was. I got delivery because of corona virus quarantine, but I will venture to this establishment once that pesky virus is gone.

  • 5/5 Joseph 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing vegan food. It's mostly junk vegan food, but it's so good! The staff are extremely nice. That's not an overstatement.

  • 5/5 Chandler Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place! I got the impossible burger and fries, and both were delicious! Would highly recommend this spot. The indoors is very cute as well.

    Really amazing attention ,food and outdoors

  • 5/5 Kellie B. 3 years ago on Google
    absolutely delicious! I am a gluten free vegan and found lots of choices and my best friend is a meat eater and has always been skeptical of vegan alternatives. Well, she had the burger and she couldn’t tell the difference. Great for vegans and meat eaters alike. fantastic place for american fast food.

  • 5/5 Brian R. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and great service. A new favorite!!

  • 5/5 Omega L. 3 years ago on Google
    I’ve been either Vegan or Vegetarian since birth. I can tell you I found a gem when I found this spot. The food taste amazing, flavored to perfection. The staff gives A1 attention and service, with class and style to boot. Dope food and even better vibes. You won’t be sorry...

  • 5/5 Heather M. 3 years ago on Google
    AMAZING plant based food and incredible hospitality.

  • 5/5 Katie B. 3 years ago on Google
    champs used to be my favourite greasy yummy american food joint but then i tried mthr a few days ago and WOW this place is now perhaps in my top five vegan restaurants in the city. everything was PERFECT - food, service, and ambience. the only downside is that it’s in freaking hell’s kitchen but i guess now i have something to look forward to whenever i’m around midtown.

  • 5/5 dustin h. 3 years ago on Google
    I would frequent this location prior to new management but now they only sell vegan food. I'm normally not a fan of fake meat but the BBQ chicken sandwich was very appetizing and the frozen margaritas are still delicious. Great spot and good options

  • 5/5 Ryan C. 3 years ago on Google
    Placed a mobile order to go. Food was prepared very quickly, and was ready when I arrived (before the estimated time ready). I ordered the fishless tacos, which was incredible. Might be the best fish taco I’ve ever had. Will definitely order from here again!

  • 5/5 Markus A. 3 years ago on Google
    My best fish tacos outside Hawaii, and it not even fish!! :) I’m a big meat lover, but I’m astonished by the work these guys do. Also try their Beyond Meet burgers.

  • 5/5 Karyzma J. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing place. Every time I’m in NY with friends, I always recommend this we go here. The food, music, and overall atmosphere is just amazing and so relaxed. I highly recommend to go here for casual outings or even a laid back date.
