Friendly staff, clean and welcoming atmosphere. I would totally come back for the delicious mango ginger juice/smoothie but wasn't a fan of the food. The mushroom had a flavor of warm spices and mixed with their ranch (which was actually very good) just didnt go well together for me. My friends who i went with are vegan and liked the food. read more

Conscious Plates - Mushroom "wrap"/tacos. Mango ginger juice. - Vegetarian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I randomly had a craving for alkaline vegan food last night, and today I finally tried this spot. I ordered the birria tacos with wild rice and grabbed a smoothie, and everything was fire. The tacos were flavorful, well-seasoned, and filling without feeling heavy. The wild rice paired perfectly, and the smoothie was fresh and refreshing. You can tell they care about quality and ingredients. Definitely coming back when I want something healthy that still hits. read more

Very very MEH I was so excited to try this place while home in Chicago but was highly disappointed. The food takes 5EVER not 4ever and it's all fried and not very tasteful at all, it tastes just like oil. My husband and I were not impressed with the items we tried. - smoothie - mushrooms - Onion rings We waited almost a hour for these simple items and was very very disappointed and left hungry read more

Honestly, I having been YET but I'm in awe looking at the menu. WOW. I didn't think alkaline vegan restaurants existed. I started my vegan journey by doing the Sebi diet for 2 months. I'm so excited about this place. read more

I've tried this place 5 times now. First 3 times were good and the food was ready within the quoted time. The food is good and made to order. And I understand that comes with a wait. However. If I place an order online and told 30 minutes, you shouldn't have to wait an hour...or more. This is the second time I ordered, was quoted a time, and still waited well beyond that time. And admittedly, the last time, the food tasted burnt and like grease. I'm sitting here now pretty annoyed that I've been sitting here over 30 minutes...30 minutes past my quoted ready time. And there doesn't seem to be any urgency from the staff to get orders out faster. Unfortunately, I'm sure this will be my last coming here. My time is valuable and waiting and looking at other anger customers just isn't my idea of a fun Saturday. read more

Love the food here!!! The only alkaline restaurant in the city! Such a vibe here! Love the lions mane bowl! Wild rice goes crazy and the sauces are the bomb read more

New location I went to new location in Woodlawn Tip order ahead you be waiting 45 min more or less Alkaline restaurant, Consisting on the diet followed by Dr. Sebi My party came to the restaurant and we placed our orders. We sat down at the newly remodeled restaurant. There were games available at the table and we didn't know I did. I take in one of the smoothies with sea moss . My phone choices included being oyster mushrooms and the taco fajita bowl Every day was cooked to order. I was pretty good. I definitely not cheap. If you're looking for a cleaner way to eat, it's a good investment. The customer service was pretty good read more

Conscious Plates - a restaurant counter with a blue light - Vegetarian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stopped by and ordered the oyster wings, onion rings, and a raspberry soursop smoothie. Loved all of it. Seasoned nicely without being over the top and without being underwhelming. Had looked up the location online and didn't realize they're a walk-up that may or may not put tables out for onsite dining. I went to a nearby park and enjoyed my order at one of the benches. No problem with ordering. Since it wasn't busy when I arrived, that may explain why service was neither scrambled nor disconnected. The cashier/cook said they will be moving to a location at 63rd and Cottage Grove. They'll get my dollars before they move and afterwards. read more

Conscious Plates - Oyster Wings and Onion Rings - Vegetarian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So happy I found this healthy addition to the Woodlawn community. Conscious Plates is a great tasting vegan/vegetarian restaurant. The portion size's are substantial. I really enjoyed the Fajita Salad and S'hroom Bites. They have Sunday Brunch with entertainment, daily Yoga Classes and feature local artists. The staff are friendly and informative. The space is open, with lots of light and great music. Keep doing what you're doing, a real gem. read more

Then I say it's worth the try... First time here... not from Illinois but I'm a fan now Fries = made from burro bananas Tacos = super hearty Waffle and nuggets really really interesting Recommend all of these Only downside to the food besides cost is : as of now they only have one sauce for all the dishes we tried... but the sauce is very good read more

Conscious Plates - Burro bananas fries - Vegetarian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love a good plant based restaurant that's mindful of ingredients. The only issue is from order to ready takes an hour. This establishment lacks efficiency in serving customers and will take away from its uniqueness. Unfortunately, I won't be back. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. always great service and quality food. One of my go to spots.

Electrifying food! The creative "Conscious Sauce" is lovable on everything! Joyful welcome when I entered their establishment. If it's safe to say, I think they enjoy their jobs Top notch courtesy.Exciting yellow accessories that brings in the good vibes. New Art every 2 months. Cool games at the table. I'll be back surely read more

My first experience my food was prepared with burnt grease . Got the food it to go but it was uneatable I emailed the restaurant about the food but did not hear bk .So disappointed I was really looking forward to trying them out. read more

The food is really good! It is high quality made to order plant-based deliciousness. It just taste good without being a replica! The Oyster mushrooms wings are worth waiting for and are nicely balanced with seasonings that make you enjoy by itself or with dipping sauce! The bowls are just what I needed to feel nourished and full but satisfied with really great food. The service is friendly but a bit slow and my walk-in order took some time but worth the wait. LOVE the vibe and rhythm of the space this is a great place to hang out in person with a cool ambience that makes you want to come back! Make this a restaurant on your list!!!! read more

I really wanted to love this place. I was super excited that this was a restaurant that I could eat at, since it used Dr. Sebi recommended ingredients. Unfortunately, my experience was terrible (that's the nicest phrase I can use). I placed my order online and recieved an estimated time for pick up. I went to pick up my order at that time and was told 15 mins. Then, waited and went back to ask about my order and was told another 10 mins. At this point in 90 degree weather in Chicago I was not a happy camper. Went back and it still wasn't ready..... I was wondering why some people before me looked so angry waiting for their orders and now I know... Even after all that I was still somewhat excited to finally eat. BUT it was sooo nasty. No seasoning and very bland. If you don't want to wait an hour plus or have sub par alkaline vegan food do yourself a favor and skip this place. And if you don't eat alkaline but are in the area - just get a vegan hot dog from The Hotdog Box (another business in the area). After all that waiting I seen many happy customers from the hot dog place near by. read more

I'll just cut to the chase. I ordered the 'Chickpea n Egg' sandwich and it came with a side, so I chose the fried avocado wedges. I was disappointed and did not enjoy the sandwich at all. I don't want to disparage this black owned business, because there are so few of them, so I'll just say they should go easy on the salt, add an additional ingredient to the Chickpea n Egg sandwich for moisture (flour tends to made these type of sandwiches heavy and dry), make the patty's a bit bigger and add more avocado wedges to a sandwich that cost $14.00. read more

TIP: across street from 51st greenline. also, easy parking lot behind / under train. read more

Conscious Plates - Breakfast Sandwich TOGO = Wheat-Free Spelt Waffles + Chickpea Eggs scrambled with Zuchinni & Onion + Avocado Slices #YUMMIE - Vegetarian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I placed an order online for their pizza (3) to be delivered, February 1, 2024. Today is February 20 and I have not received my order nor have I received anything since placing my order. But I did receive an email stating how I liked my pizza and want me to review the service I received. I'm disappointed especially since I did not receive my pizza. I called them several times and no one would pick up the phone and several time they hung up on me without answering! This is so disheartening to be treated like this! I won't be ordering from them again! read more

Black owned, 100% Alkaline Plant Based restaurant on the Southside. I came here because I saw it on Twitter and it did not disappoint. The girl that took our order and cooked our food was so cool and easy to talk to. Also other little businesses part of Boxville that I'm so happy I was introduced too. Gem in the south side. Im not vegan myself but never afraid to try out new great food and this place served well. Please please come check this place out as this location deserves more attention 100% read more

Word to the wise: order ahead. Well ahead. Seriously if you don't read another word I'm saying read this: ORDER AHEAD. I had the oyster wings (side of "wild rice") and a smoothie. All good but not great and definitely not worth an hour's wait. (I was told to expect a 30-40 minute wait but it took a full 60 minutes). Also this place is not a good candidate for dining in -- not just because it's small but because they keep the music blasting way louder than necessary. I was yelling just to place my order. I appreciate the so-called "island vibe" but this is not the islands and folks have places to be. Lesson learned and money spent (with tip...) I can now say that I tried it and supported this South side vegan business. Fortunately there are others better suited to my palate and sensibilities so I will probably not be back to this one anytime soon. Definitely manage your expectations if you patronize this restaurant. And--say it with me--order ahead. read more

Although the wait was very long, this food was worth every minute we waited. We drive from Detroit for a vegetarian foodie trip and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the apple pie slice, jerk fajita fries, fajita fries and the chic'p egg sandwich, and all was incredibly delicious! The fries with the garlic sauce and chic'p sandwich was my favorite. Can't wait till we come back to east here again!!! We love Conscious Plates! read more

I'm actually making my review while sitting in the restaurant. The food is delicious and the service is lovely. They're polite, warm, friendly without being over the top. I rode my bike over and will be back. read more

I got there a few minutes after they opened, and the workers looked annoyed. They weren't prepared for customers, but the food was hot, freshly prepared. I supported, food was okay and it's not someplace I have to eat again. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. read more

Simply amazing! I'm new to the alkaline vegan lifestyle and eating so therefore I may have been a little skeptical about trying new dishes but the oyster wings and burro fries didn't disappoint. The fries and mushrooms were seasoned to perfection and my food was hot and tasty. I devoured half before making it home. I cannot wait to go back and take my friends. Even my daughter loved it and she's not vegan. read more

I just left this place hours ago and I was happy they were open today. The owner was nice and I loved his hair. The business owner was professional and thoroughly explained each dish's ingredients. The food was hella filling. My family loved the chicken wrap and the cheesecake shake was good. The chicken wrap is gigantic and bets believe you will have some left over. The waffle sandwich was ok, along with the Alfredo pasta. Anywho, I think it's cool to have Wheat-less, soy-less, and meatless tasty food. Also, the place is located on the corner across from train station, inside nice decorated bins. read more

Best vegan food I've ever had Dad! Both of my sons said the same thing. Excellent customer service.

Everything about this place is awesome I love it,whether it's the food or the drinks and let alone the service ,excellent I might say. I definitely recommend this place and I'll be back every time I'm in Chicago. read more

First time there. This place is dee-lish. I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years, so I feel like I know if a veg restaurant is cooking with love or not. This place definitely is. I had the chickpea wrap with avocado fries. It was super yummy, filling but not heavy, good balance of salt, spice and fresh flavors. Conscious sauce is so good! Will be going back for sure. read more

That waffle sandwich is of the chain. I am a big guy and could not eat it all!! I will be back over and over. The strawberry cheese cake shake is great. read more

customer service sucks. whoever closed on 11/7 needs to be fired. never took our order and just made the entire process extremely annoying

i was very disappointed with the chckin and waffles sandwich. there was nothing about the "meat" that resembled chickn at all. the presentation was beautiful until u bite into it and it is a ball of mushy brown stuff. i was actually very sad and threw most of it away. reading thru the reviews i wish i would have tried something different like the mac and cheese balls read more
