I decided to treat myself so I finally bought this pizza from Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat, and like every other dish I’ve gotten from here, it was delicious!!! Will be getting again in the future.

There are a few sauces to choose from, I got the #mild sauce. I really liked the taste and consistency of the chicken wings (basically #nuggets ). The sauce was nice, a little spicy, but I probably would prefer a different sauce if I get this again. This isn't my favorite meal because it's just nuggets and #fries , but there was a BOGO deal on ubereats so I wanted to try it. The fries are always great here--they just make them so well. Overall good, but I prefer other dishes from this restaurant. Very filling portion.

The sandwich looked so good when I opened the #compostable container! The Chik'n patty is thick with a great breaded crust. Sandwich also contains lettuce, tomato, mayo, and cheese (upcharge for #vegancheese ). There's also honey mustard, but I asked to omit that. Overall tasty, but a little basic--would be better with more sauce. Comes with a side of fries which are consistently so good! They're fried really well with a crunchy outside and soft inside. Very filling portion.

Vegan Gyro made with sliced marinated style #seitan, topped with House made vegan #tzatziki, vegan American cheese slice ($0.75 extra), lettuce tomato, and onions. Served in a bed of seasoned fries. The #fries are so good! Loved how soft and thick the pita was. Overall tasty but not my favorite menu item. #compostable takeout container :)

Large #burrito, definitely a filling meal! I love how it's warmed up to seal the tortilla--that makes it so much easier to eat. The flavors were good and I liked how the freshness of the tomatoes and salsa complimented the savory cheese and protein. My only complaint is the veggie protein was a little salty, otherwise it was excellent! Contains veggie protein that looks like ground beef, vegan #cheese (upcharge ~75cents), tomato, cilantro, vegan #sourcream, red leaf lettuce, jalapeños, and #salsaverde. Also, on #ubereats they often have #bogo deals for various menu items. The menu items differ every day/week, but it's a great way to get extra food for free! Like I got 2 of these large burritos for around $15 (I did pickup to save more money).

Very unique menu item! #phillycheesesteak egg rolls: egg rolls stuffed with vegan Philly meat, green peppers, onion, jalapeños, mozzerella, and a sweet chili sauce. Comes with a side of fries which are perfectly crispy on the outside. This restaurant does have vegan and dairy cheese, so you just have to specify which one you want! #vegancheese costs extra, like 75 cents. But this was delicious! The melty cheese paired so well with the "meat" crumbles. And the rolls had a lovely crunch on the outside. It's just under $16 before tax/tip which seems reasonable for such a large portion.

The kind of pizza that a lot of my Italian friends would hate, with its bbq sauce base etc, but as fast food I enjoyed. It was massive though didn’t come close to finishing.

Pizza contains vegan BBQ pizza sauce, vegan bbq chikn, red onions, and vegan cheese. This was good and had a TON of melty cheese on it. The cheese does feel weird on my teeth/lips, but it's tasty so I'll deal with it. The chikn was good and you get a piece with almost every bite, no complaints. Enough for 3 servings. Maybe it's because I'm from the Midwest, but this would be so good with some vegan ranch 🤤

Tasty vegan junk food:) A little on the greasy side but really yummy and a good portion size. The fries are some of my favorites I've had--they have a great crispy exterior. Contains meatless protein and topped with green peppers, jalapeños, onions, mushrooms, vegan mayo, and vegan mozzarella cheese on toasted wheat bread. Served with bed of seasoned fries. You do have to specify vegan vs dairy cheese. I wish this place was 100% vegan:( I can't understand why they would still carry dairy cheese when they offer vegan versions...

Overall the flavors of this dish were solid and it felt hearty. I was really interested in trying this because it has vegan shrimp in it, which I've never had. The vegan shrimp consistency was similar to real shrimp, but you could tell it was fake based on how it came apart when chewing. Also the shrimp didn't have much flavor, was just an addition to make it seem more gumbo-like. This came with a full piece of garlic bread, only half a piece is pictured.

This was really tasty! Their patty texture and taste really mimics meat and the sautéed onions + vegan cheese and mayo were nice additions to this sandwich. It wasn't a huge sandwich, but it comes with a side of fries which help fill you up. The fries were seasoned well and beautifully golden. Couple cons: The sandwich was pretty greasy and a bit smaller than expected. Also, the restaurant offers vegan cheese and dairy cheese, so be careful in your selection.
