I can’t lie I’ve definitely had better tasting food and I struggle to find something memorably tasty in the vegan options however they’re just so pleasant that I go back and spend whenever I’m nearby and starved. These were the cauliflower tacos and they were small and I paid $18 and some change for 3 but I got my food quickly and they were nice so it just depends on what you prefer. I can only give honest reviews and the flavors aren’t bold enough for me to say they’re the best but it’s clean eating! Bae taco is better but Local Green is black owned and will still earn a very generous 4 start from me because of their service.
Not only was The cauliflower Philly sandwich pictured made fresh, but the entire staff kept us entertained and engaged in conversation while we waited for our food. They all deserve five stars just for service alone, in addition to the good tasting food.
The presentation in the photo doesn't do the food justice because my granny and I had already dug-in and the food traveled a ways after pick-up. This is the first time either of us patroned Local Green Atlanta and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the pulled BBQ jackfruit sandwich and I got her the shrimp tacos. The shrimp was seasoned very well and the BBQ sauce on the pulled sandwich was tasty. The Cajun fries were just okay. I'll definitely be back
VEGAN REVIEW~ Place is DECENT. Food is decent. The vegan “rapper delight” sub looks good but it’s a little bit on the thin side! Also, I felt as if it was lacking somehow. I expected a breaded fried cauliflower but got something in resemblance to "stir fry" when it came to texture and presentation. Taste wise it is good, but it felt like I could breath it away. It was not enough food. If I were to compare and price the "rappers delight" based on what I've eaten for around the same price, I would say this item is only worth $8-$10 retail. They are worst vegan places though, and the biggest thing about this sandwich was that i felt like it needed "something" else to it. Like breading and frying it to give the sub more fat and fullness. Ironically, I don't even think they fry their items so maybe this is the point? Full time vegans need our nutrients and stuff though. So maybe add more veggies to the recipe and a bigger better bread. This place also has non vegan options, which worries me mentally that one day someone may forget to put vegan cheese and add real cheese, or accidentally add a non vegan item to it. It never has happened here, but I've seen it happen before! So with those concerns i feel as if i would have to recommend vegans to other spots first. When this location brings in more vegan menu items and sides for the same ethical prices, then will this location be more reliable. If you live close by, or if your looking for something casual this is the place to go. The lemonades and fries are quality, and the straws and possibly utensils they use are all plant-based. ~ For this reason i wonder why they don't just go full vegan or add a LOT more vegan options.
Definitely coming here again when I’m in town to taste more of what is offered here! I got the Philly salmon and it was slamming! Very well and super flavorful. The cucumber lemonade was also very delicious; it wasn’t super sweet like most cheap lemonades but instead very settled and fresh. Five star and will be coming back.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: YesDelivery: Yes
The Rappers Delight salmon sub and Lizzo strawberry mint lemonade were delicious! Great food, service with a smile, groovy playlist, and cute decor. Loved it!
There's so much to say about this restaurant and it's all good things. I've ordered the salmon tacos and they are delicious to the utmost. The server as well as the chefs there did a terrific job and not just serving but also just thinking customers. They have a warm presence with an upbeat upscale look to what in Atlanta restaurant should possess. I look forward to coming back. Bravo to the owner and operators of Local Green Atlanta. Vegetarian options: Much to choose from
I want to start off by saying that the cashier was super nice. The inside of the restaurant had a nice little setup. Now… the vegan burger was very bland, and the lettuce was soggy. I was hoping that it got better with every bite, but sadly it didn’t. The fries were hot but was super soggy when I got them I ordered and waited at the restaurant. Paying $15 for a single vegan patty and $18 for a double, I would expect the food to taste better. I honestly could’ve made everything at home. Hopefully, this was an isolated thing because I would love to eat there again and support a black-owned business.
This is my first and LAST time wasting my money on this place. "The Keisha" was bland with no seasoning and nothing was in the bowl but dry quinoa and steamed broccoli, and that was $11! I also had brussel slaw which was bland and it was $3 a tablespoon. I hate when WE take advantage of eachother this way, U try to support black business but the the business doesnt support you back. I blindly supported this business without reading the reviews because it was black owened & convenient for me at the time. I know chinese/ Indian/ Greek restaurants that feed me better than this...Yall need to do better
Visited this establishment for the first time. My total $29 and some change. Paid and didn’t get the option to leave a tip or get a receipt. Walking away, I noticed I was charged $35. I was trying to figure out how the total changed and went back to the counter to ask for a receipt. Just when I was about to get the cashier’s attention, I watched her rang my friend’s food up. At the end of the order, she DELIBERATELY added a 18% tip and tapped no print on the receipt. So I asked her for a copy of my receipt and she tells me the printer is broken. I let her know extra money was added to my total and I seen her swindle my friend as well. She get assistance from another employee who I assume was the manager. She lies and tells us she was new and didn’t know. How you didn’t know you were adding 18% to everyone’s total and purposely not printing receipts?!? On top of that, it was 6 of us. 4 of us were swindled! The last 2 would’ve been swindled too if we didn’t catch it. All of a sudden when the managerI’m assuming showed up, the screen was turned around after each transaction with the OPTION to tip and receipts were given. We never received an apology! If you were in the restaurant on 11/19/22 before 11:40AM, check how much you were charged! I’m willing to bet the cashier stole from y’all too. If the situation was handled better, I would’ve considered returning again. But after the lack of accountability, I refuse!!
