We went here based on all the positive reviews and feel that we have to warn people about this place. When you walk in the fumes from the grill are overpowering. I'm not sure if they've ever cleaned out this grill. Then they take our order, we wait for about 20 minutes and the girl comes back and says she forgot our order. My husband ordered a beer that never came. The cook kept leaving and the server forgets our order. I'm glad we could leave. Even though we wasted about 30 minutes sitting in horrible fumes of a restaurant at least we didn't have to eat the food. Also, I should note that there was only a couple people in the restaurant, so it's not like they had a whole lot to do or remember. read more

Evolve Modern Vegan Kitchen - Pubs Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

Calling All Vegans!! You must come to Evolve, great vegan food!! When we arrived, the one worker for the moment was the greeter, the waitress, the cook and did all the work with a smile! The atmosphere is rustic vegan! The jack fruit pulled pork was flavorful and tender. The basket of fries was substantial and enough for us both! My husband got the Philly Mac n cheese which was very tasty and filling!!!! It has a full bar available as well, we had a Mexican coke and a root beer! We will be back to this long awaited establishment! read more

What a great find! Most vegan/vegetarian restaurants seem to close after lunch, but Evolve was open late. We got the food to go and brought it home. Everything was good, though there were some top choices. The best was the French fries. They were salty and fresh. In second place was the Buffalo chickun sandwich. The burger and Mac were good but I think I could do without the Mac and cheese, personally. I can't wait to go back and try the smothered Fries. We ordered online and picked it up. There were two people working and it was busy, but they were so friendly and helpful and hustling. The interior is very rustic and divey, but welcome to Daytona. We are not vegan, but some food is just good. My only wish is that they update Happy Cow, which said they only do take out, but they did have seating open and available in the restaurant. read more

Just saw this place today. Was very excited to see it because I didn't know any place like this was in daytona. We ordered it to go because. But it looked nice inside and wasn't too loud. It is clearly meant for couples and small groups. As there were no big tables. The prices are fair and they have a kids menu. The buffalo chikun was the best. read more

Well first Erica is awesome. She was welcoming she was working by herself it was pretty busy, but she handling it all like a G, she had a rhythm and was on it. She greeted everyone that came in with a smile, cooked all our food and brought it to us. Customer service at its finest! We are from Texas, but will be back the food is good and plentiful. The prices are not bad either! Whatever you get you will definitely get full!! Nothing lacked flavor! Definitely, add this to your list of places to go! read more

This one of the only full vegan spots in this area. The burgers and chicken sandwiches are awesome! I like to get the buffalo chicken sandwich or the crack burger with a beyond patty. The fries are bomb! You have to try them with smash sauce and hot agave sauce. I have had a few dishes I didn't like, the quesadilla and the Mac and cheese, just not that great. They do have refreshing kombucha and a full bar. The staff is usually pretty great. They have seating out back where they sometimes have DJs or live music, and craft vendors which is cool. The patio out front is nice too for people watching. Good ole seabreeze ave is an interesting place, lots of drinking and drugs. The reason I don't give this place 5 stars is because of the cleanliness. It is a pretty grungy place. We've seen a big ass rat in the kitchen, the bathrooms are subpar, and the back outdoor seating doesn't really get any extra attention. The rat did scar me a little but lots of places have rats you just don't see them. I appreciate their intention and I'm a hippie so I can get over the grunge but it's definitely not my favorite vegan restaurant but it is good. read more

Love this place! Great food-outside seating for our pups. Kind service. Everything was delicious! Will be back!

I really wanted to love this place! The prices are very reasonable for vegan bar food but the flavors were off. I went with 4 of my kids (age 5-20) for dinner and there was only 1 table inside that could seat a party of more than 4, it was two small tables pushed together. At 6pm the sun was shining though the windows directly into our eyes and it was uncomfortable, they should tint the windows to prevent this. We all thought the food was very salty and had no other flavor. The cheese for the Philly fries had a dry and lumpy texture like it had be pre-made and frozen, it was not smooth as you would expect it to be since it was "smothering" French fries. It seemed like that same cheese sauce was used for the Mac & Cheese bowls and we were not fans, I prefer my Mac to be smooth and creamy. My children said the pretzel bun to the burger was their favorite part of the meal. This is the only fully vegan restaurant in Daytona Beach so it pains me to leave a less than amazing review but I feel like there is a lot of room for improvement. read more

I was excited to sleep an all Vegan place close by so we had to check it out. The atmosphere, service, and food is incredible. I'm glad we stopped by. The Viva la vegan comes with bacun and peanut butter. It's called the Elvis burger many places and it's been on my husbands bucket list to try a vegan version. Also...get the doughnuts! read more

Loved finding a hidden gem thanks to the internet. This place is completely vegan which was very nice. Lots of vegan friendly burgers, chicken, pork, and Mac n cheese. I got a burger special listed on their chalk board. It was a mushroom Swiss burger and my date got the "crack burger". It had bacon ranch and other typical burger toppings mine was just mushrooms, Swiss and the patties. Both tasted pretty good, just a little messy to eat. We also shared a large fry basket since the burgers come solo. The fry basket was an extra $4. Both burgers prices weren't listed and ended up being the most expensive burgers on the menu $13 each. Overall the food was great, decor was simple and the price was a bit steep. Definitely a neat place to check out though with all the vegan options. I just wish it wasn't almost $40 for 2 burgers and fries or we would've went back more. read more

I'm so excited I tried this place finally! As a vegetarian it can be hard to find good vegetarian fake meat. This place does it good for sure. I only tried the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich so far but I will be back to try more! Also, I didn't catch her name but our waitress was great as well. Thank you! read more

Definitely a pleasant surprise to find a vegan restaurant so close to our hotel In Daytona Beach. Everything on the menu looked great and so we just ended up asking the waitress to choose! Everything we had was delicious- served super hot and quick - and prices were as expected for vegan food! Would definitely go again when I'm in town! read more

Cute place. Has some cocktails. Waitress was awesome. Sweet, cute and I love when you ask for their favorite foods and they tell you with excitement. The food was great. We don't get good vegan food often and this place hit the spot. Only one thing. The bathroom. Needs an update. No paper towels , No lock on the door. I don't want someone walking in on me. Otherwise great place to eat. read more

I love this place. Our son, a vegetarian, wanted to go here today. I was up for it, but can't say I was excited about it. I'm so glad we went and we will definitely go here again and again and again, even when he isn't here. Had I known it was a part of the taproom empire, I'd have tried it so much sooner! We've been going there for years. We had the BBQ burger, the Smashburger and the Buffalo chicken sandwich also, the plain fries (which are big enough for 2-3 people). The chicken was my favorite, followed by BBQ and then smashburger. The service is both friendly and efficient. It's definitely worth a try. read more

I had such high hopes for Evolve. I was seriously excited for this place but in the end, they left me completely disappointed. First off, it took an HOUR to get our food on a Sunday evening with very few people in the restaurant. Waitress claimed she and cook were the only ones working and had only been on the job less than a week. The restaurant itself is a dive. Reminds me of a bar in a college town. Dingy and kinda dirty. The restrooms were no better. Soap dispensers and hand sanitizer were out. Door locks were...broken?...non-functional? Either way, could not lock doors. No one was wearing a mask. We ordered 4 waters and a draft beer. All the water cups contained dirt or debris of some sort in them. We threw them out. The food was okay. Nothing special. The fried chicken sandwich was actually pretty good. The burgers did not seem to match up to their menu descriptions. Patties were overcooked so the Crack Burger and the Vegan Las Vegas looked and tasted practically the same. Definitely not worth the hour wait. I truly hope this was an off night, but I'll never know. I won't be back. read more

Second time here and again I am impressed! I have had two different "chicken" sandwiches and the flavor, texture and presentation is out of this world. Not a big fan of the burger replacement they use. But everything else was great. Yummy margaritas and exceptional service. I recommend the donuts too! read more

Daytona Beach is lucky to have this place! Decent vegan food in a somewhat divey spot. There was just one person who was the chef, server, waitress & bartender on a busy weekend afternoon and she was excellent & deserves a hefty raise just for being able to hold it all down whilst dealing with unruly drunks and some back lot neighbors setting fires! Got 2 smash burgers and Philly fries! The buffalo sauce was fantastic as was the service read more

Evolve Modern Vegan Kitchen - Philly fries - Pubs Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

I had my very first Beyond burger last week at another establishment out of state. Today, I craved one so I did a search while I was in Daytona Beach, and my search led me here. It's a small place. It is a little smoky inside but not a deal-breaker for me. Plus, they have a few chairs and tables outside to eat at if you wanted to get away from that odor. True, there isn't a lock on the lady's bathroom door. However, the toilet is mere inches away from the door so if anyone would try to come in, all you'd have to do is hold back/push on the door and let the person know that the bathroom was occupied. But let me get to my Beyond Burger....so, so very, very good! It tasted just like a "real" hamburger cooked on a grill. The red onion jam is yummy. The bun was a lovely sesame seed one. The fries were absolutely delicious as well. Skins on and a very good-sized helping. My server Emma was very friendly and there was another gentlemen outside that worked there as well who was very friendly. It was a great place to eat! Delicious! I will most definitely be back!!!! Wish I had taken a pic but I hadn't planned on writing a review. ‍ read more

So. Delicious. I got the viva las vegan and it was one of the most amazing burgers I've ever had. It came out incredibly hot and fresh. It had all vegan bacun, pbr beer cheese, smash sauce, red pepper, spring mix, and peanut butter! All on a grilled pretzel bun. They had vegan chicken sandwiches, meat, and desserts. If I lived in Daytona I would be here once a week. The prices weren't overly expensive either. I liked their decor and the vibe of the establishment! read more

I could eat the Southern Fried chikun everyday for months! The sauce had a good kick to it and the bun socked up some of the goodness but it didn't get soggy. The plant based protein was thick and delicious and had a nice crispness to the outside of the patty. I'm going to have to fly back here to Florida just to try more goodness from this amazing restaurant. Ordering on line was easy and the staff was very friendly when we picked up our order. read more

Food was a 12/10, I had the crack burger and the pulled pork fries. Both were packed with flavor and super enjoyable! They also offer kombucha by draft which I thought was awesome! Driving down 95 I took the detour just to try this place and it was SOOO worth it! Highly recommend to vegans and vegetarians or anyone that just loves good food! read more

I had a really horrible experience with them maybe a year or two ago. The person who took our order over the phone i believe was the owner and she was oh so incredibly rude. The food took forever to be done. Then when we went to pick it up, she thanked the cook for cooking the food, but made a point not to thank us at all for buying all that food and we spent s lot of money there. The food was good but not worth the disrespect. I just went back after all of this time because of convenience and had a much better experience. The girl who took out order was not the owner but she was so nice. My sandwich was really good and so were the fries. I'd have to go back to see if I have the same good experience. Part of me thinks that the owner is still probably a b though. read more

Oh sweet Jesus is this place the vegan bomb! Nice decor and feel. Spacious. Good service. LARGE menu for a vegan restaurant...Homemade burgers that taste like an Impossible burger with unique toppings on a pretzel bun, hot dogs, sloppy joes, Philly, Chick'n sandwiches, fresh made pretzels with beer cheese, nachos, mac and cheese, fries, dessert, full liquor bar and some beers. I HIGHLY recommend the food here! I think I could eat here weekly if I lived closer. :) read more

Ordered a few things to try. I tried the philly fries, the smashburger, and the quesadilla. I wouldn't recommend either the smashburger or the fries. The fries were cold when served, dried out, and extremely burnt. 98% of them were dark brown in color or nearly black. They tasted extremely burnt so skipped eating them and just had the toppings. They were just okay. I definitely wouldn't order again. Especially after waiting an hour at least for food when there was only one other table. The fries should not have been cold and extremely burnt as though they were cooked then reheated when cold. Or just left in the fryer several minutes too long then sat out for over 20 minutes before being served. By far the worst fries I've ever had. 0 out of 5 stars. The smashburger was waaaay too rich and extremely greasy. The bun was completely smashed down on both sides, and not even close to what's shown in pictures, which is a fluffy looking bun. The bread was soaked in grease.... Just one bite was way too much I just skipped eating it. Specifically speaking to flavor alone this was my least favorite. I'd rather eat the cold burnt fries I got. I wouldn't order again and not worth the hype. The crack burger was 0 out of 5 stars. The chickun quesadilla was good though. I'd definitely order it again. It came with a pico and a ranch type sauce. I preferred it with the pico as the freshness/ tang of it went the best with the quesadilla. I'd recommend skipping the burger and fries and just get the chicken sandwich or a quesadilla. 3 stars for the quesadilla. read more

This spot is simply TOO GOOD to not leave a review! I had the vegan "chickun" buffalo sandwich. Good Gosh A Mighty! Moist, meaty, tender, flavorful and exploding with flavor. The combination of coleslaw, onion jam, mingled with that buffalo sauce and that soft pretzel bun was definitely food for the gods. I have been a vegetarian for 14 years and only a vegan for almost a year and a half, but I feel like I have searched the world over looking for a GOOD, no GREAT meal. Today I found it. Josh, the chef, was friendly, knowledgeable about the product (TVP BASED as the "meat"). He admitted he has played around with the recipe until he got it right. In fact, he isn't even a vegan, so he is quite the right fit for making a "chickun" taste like "chicken"! This Virginian came a long way for a real vegan meal--and I cannot wait to return! read more

I've heard great things about Evolve since I first moved to Daytona. While i'm not a vegan/vegetarian etc, I just appreciate and try to support a lot of plant based restaurants. While they have (from what I tried) some good things on the menu. But i'm bummed to say that I didn't love it, and I'll probably go back, but it'll be a little while. I ordered take out, and I received the wrong thing. For the sake of fairness, it was a Saturday night and it was probably an honest mistake. And unfortunately the burger had a lot of peanut butter on it as well. Pros: I appreciated that their beer cheese sauce is tofu based, the soft pretzels, and their donuts were delicious! read more

It is not a hidden gem. I don't even know where to start so I'll just hit bullet points. *Staff do not wear masks. *It took over an hour to get our food and the place wasn't busy. *Bathrooms do not lock. *Bathrooms do have have soap. *Our fries were burnt. *The "chicken" sandwich was meh...the burgers were gross and didn't match the menu description. *Oh yeah- it was over $70 for our food that we barely ate after sitting FOREVER. read more

Wow, we are impressed! So much so that we came back the next day!
