I was greeted when I walked in. The restaurant was clean. Friendly staff. The food was made to order. There were so many vegan options. I was in love and total disbelief. Everything was hot and flavorful I cant wait to go back. The philly was a 10/10. My soul was SO happy. My inner fat girl came out. I wasnt able to eat the second half. I'd recommend selling half of the sandwich for people like me thats in town visiting and nowhere to heat up the other half. read more

Picked up take-out to eat in the park. Regular fries were old - cold and stale. Sweet potato fries were burned. Paid for extra sauce on the side that they did not include with the order. Added a side of sauce the we did not order. For the price - very disappointing. Food quality has declined, at least at this location. read more

Okay so your girl ordered wrong but, as soon as I try something else, I'll likely come back and bump this order up to 5 stars. Don't be like me and order the grilled chick'n salad. The grilled chick'n salad is. uhm, not very good. The ranch is excellent and the protein was fine, but it really is an incredibly boring dish and not the reason you come to HipCityVeg. Staff was very friendly and my order was ready fairly fast. The green energy boost smoothie is about to become an absolute go-to for me. Super healthy, fortifying, and straight up delicious. They change up their shakes with the month and offer fun varieties and seasonal choices. All of the sandwiches look amazing. I am someone who used to really enjoy vegan and plant-based eating more regularly and still often do! HipCityVeg has amazing choices and do their proteins right. This is the spot to go for lunch or takeout with anyone that has food allergies or diet sensitivities. Thanks for existing, HipCityVeg! read more

Would be a lot more pleasant if the attitude was not so poor. Can't get fries without salt? A healthy restaurant?

My meal from this location was outstanding! It was so good I wanted to go back the next day for lunch. I ordered the smoky sweet crispy chick'n wrap and made it a meal to come with sweet potato fries and tangerine turmeric juice. Everything was a solid 10/10! I was stuffed and did not feel gross after all the food. My colleagues ordered the black/white milkshake and raved about it, too! read more

Overpriced in my opinion for dessert... dessert was more than food items on the menu and I only got 1 little scoop. I ordered vegan vanilla ice cream with chocolate chip cookie crumbles, which was really good. Service was fine. There is a small area to sit and eat inside. Parking is a nightmare in this area not juat for this business. Just keep riding until you find a street metered parking spot. read more

Hipcityveg is one of my go-tos for a delicious vegan chicken sandwich. The hipcityranch chicken sandwich is my personal fav - it's a good size sandwich! I do also really like the cheesesteak - not usually a fan of mushroom but this one is really the best texturally and flavor wise I've had. I have had the fries, sweet potato fries and onion rings all of which are good. I also really like the seasonal milkshakes! I usually order for pickup and carry out which works well. read more

This is a good restraunt for someone else. It is exactly what it says it is. Vegitetian fast food. They have a tone of cheap vegiterian options ranging ranging from shakes to chicken nuggets. We got the chicken wrap and chicken nuggets with a shake. They were all cheap but also not a lot of food. The food itself was decent but also nothing memorable. It eas passable as it's imitations but since it's imitating fast food meat, the bar isn't very high. All of that to say, if you want a quick vegiterian snack it's not bad (but you could also do better). read more

HipCityVeg - PHILLY CHEESESTEAK - Vegetarian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Considering the price of the food here compared to what you get, I think this place is just average. This is basically a vegan/vegetarian fast food joint with some burgers and cheesesteaks. I got the Philly Cheesesteak and the Ziggy burger. The Philly cheesesteak had a weird flavor profile to it that did not resemble much of a real Philly cheesesteak. Obviously it is not made out of meat but the texture wasn't all that great for what it is. The Ziggy burger was basically an impossible or beyond burger patty (I forgot which) with some veggie toppings. Not too impressed as I can make that myself at home for a fraction of the cost and the exact taste. The highlight here was actually the Bella mushroom side we got. They were just fried portobello mushrooms but the seasoning and the sauce they provided to dip them in was divine! Highly recommend this one. There is a student discount here if you happen to be a student. I think it was 10% off. Staff is nice and friendly here, vibes are just what you expect from other fast food joints. read more

We had so many people recommend this place to us, but... was it because it's a fully vegan restaurant and we eat vegan so the assumption was we were gonna love it? Because we did not. It's convenient and it's fast food: hamburgers, chicken fingers, fries, shakes. It just all happens to be plant-based, but it's not done any better than what you could make at home (in quality or quantity). We got: - Ziggy Burger (a bacon cheeseburger with cheese, lettuce, onion, special sauce, on a toasted bun), $12.95: there was no bacon and the hamburger was the size of my palm. My partner said it was fine, but he wouldn't order again. - Miso Noodle Chick'n Salad: spicy glazed chick'n, udon noodles, romaine, carrot, cabbage, scallion, miso dressing), $11.95: I asked the person at the counter if there was a chance I could swap the spicy glazed chick'n for golden nuggets. She said yes, it wouldn't be a problem. But that isn't what happened. I got charged for an order of Golden Nuggets. The salad itself was mostly romaine lettuce, the udon noodles weren't cooked and they were all clumped together making them inedible (literally, I couldn't bite through them), and the dressing was so, so vinegary. - Golden Nuggets (their signature golden nuggets with choice of dipping sauce), $5.25: I wasn't allowed a dipping sauce because it was considered a side. I guess? These tasted exactly like the Gardein Ultimate Chick'n Nuggets (which I like!) these were just on the cold side. - Two orders of French Fries (small), $2.95: they were softer and less salty than we were expecting/hoping for. The side sauces we got (which come in containers that hold maybe two tablespoons) were ketchup and sriracha aioli. They were good, just wish there was more. - Two waters, $3 ^ after tax and tip, this was close to $60. The interior can seat maybe eight people; except when we visited there was only four seats available because the third table and the high top seating at the windows had several mop buckets on them collecting water dripping from the ceiling. For me, this was not a place I needed to go out of my way for like our omnivore friends suggested. read more

Ok I know they have other great things on the menu but when I'm visiting Philly, I just have to have a cheesesteak. At most recent visit, I ordered a Philly steak and asked for no ketchup and extra mayo. Banging flavor combo!! It was filling, ascetically beautiful, and delicious. I highly recommend! I ate at the counter and people - watched as I scarfed down my sandwich. I really think I was drawing people's interest because of my ravenous bites and epic looking sandwich! read more

Amazing clean, delicious and makes your body feel good food! Delivery was great and food as always was excellent!

Absolutely horrible! Been ordering since the beginning Just received a Smokehouse Burger which had no taste whatsoever and drenched with so much sauce that I could not pick up as roll was drenched as well as my hands. This place has lost their way since Nicole the founder had left recently. Never again read more

I was visiting Philly, looking for someplace to get a bite to eat and saw the sign. I couldn't be happier with how I happened to be walking passed this place and decided to go in. They had a lot of vegan options. I don't remember the name of the burger I got but I cannot express enough how delicious it was! It cured my craving for a juicy burger without the guilt of supporting the murder of cows & separating moms from their calves. Even more impressive was their awareness of materials used for their containers. I'm hoping they will find alternatives to the little bit of plastic they are using now. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. The prices was comparable to what you would pay for a burger elsewhere. If your close by and looking for an excellent guilt free meal, look no further! read more

Definitely recommend the Philly Cheesesteak -- great combination of flavors and it was a lot of food.

I'm fairly new to Vegan (3 months) and mostly cook at home. I was in Philadelphia for work and of course needed a Philly Cheesesteak, but wanted to stay vegan. This place was walking distance from my hotel, so I gave it a try. Can't say it tasted exactly like the beef one I had 6 months ago, when last in Philly, but I thought it was very close, definitely tasty and I would get it again. The shroom boom side was very good, not too heavily breaded, seasoned nicely, a nice texture of crisp outside with softer mushroom inside and came with a tasty green goddess sauce. Would get again as well. It's a small fast food vibe kinda place, but looked clean and the service was good, person that took my order was friendly and I felt the food was prepared in a timely manner. They seemed to be very busy with takeout orders, but I didn't wait long to eat there. read more

I had their chicken nuggets for the first time the other day. I didn't know what to expect and I didn't want to get my hopes up because I've had bad experiences with vegetarian chicken nuggets. But my goodness!!! These nuggets were so delicious. My daughter is a chicken nugget lover and I know she would have loved them and I really wanted to save her some but I couldn't help myself. I ate all 10 in about 10 minutes. They were the size of the chik fila nuggets so I really could have eaten 20 nuggets! Definitely going back to try their other menu items. read more

Wow this place might be my next obsession. I've come to really enjoy the Vegan/Vegetarian options. So many people in the city have told me great things about this place. Everything here is vegan friendly! We got the ziggy and smoked house burger, along with the pumpkin pie milkshake. Ziggy burger: your good old classic burger ingredients (tomato, pickles...) Smoked burger: the smokey taste is really good along with the melted cheese but not much ingredients inside My boyfriend who is a meat lover - ate the beyond meat burger and was amazed at how good it tasted and could barely tell the difference. I was also impressed by everything we ate, and the milkshake (which has no dairy and consist of mainly soy beans) was probably one of the best milkshake I've had. Being lactose intolerant, I can't help but feel guilty every time I try a milkshake. This soy milkshake made me feel good! So happy this place exists! Will definitely be coming back to try different items on the menu. read more

I always have mixed feelings about this place, which is a sister spot of another great place, called Bar Bombon. Sometimes HipCity Veg is great and sometimes it it is terrible. This review is specifically about Rittenhouse location; it cannot seem to get it right. From staff, delayed orders, and sanitation issues, to now raised prices and diminishing portions. This salad is a limited ingredient salad, which most of them are here. Literally four ingredients in it. Look at the size! It costs 12 dollars but looks like a side salad! This bowl almost fits in the palm of my hand! If you go to any competitor in the neighborhood, such as Cava, Just Salad, Devon & Blakely, Sweet Greens, you will get almost twice bigger portion for your 12 dollars with more ingredients! I think from now on I will opt out for only getting sandwiches at this place; unless they shrink in size too. 12 dollars for this portion of lettuce is just ridiculous! read more

Service was fine, quick, food was hot. However....food was awful. The cauliflower nuggets were friend and battered nicely but had no seasoning at all. Add some salt, pepper, lemon pepper, something. The sauce they had for it was bland as well. The onion rings were greasy. I ended up sick from how greasy they were. When I get the chance to visit the city again I will pass them by. It was a waste of my per diem money. read more

Wow this place was good! I wanted to go to Cleavers for a Philly Cheesesteak but they decided to close for the week of July 4th. I wanted a Philly Cheesesteak, this place was close so I went for it. Yes, it was vegan but it was great! I ended up going to Sonny's the next day for a Philly and HipCityVeg was better !! - way more flavour! read more

This counter-service vegan/plant-based restaurant in the Rittenhouse Square area of Philadelphia is a great stop for a quick lunch and bite to eat. I stopped twice on the same day, once just to try their chicken nuggets (with buffalo sauce) and again for the cheese steak. The nuggets were OK, nothing spectacular, but edible and flavorful with the buffalo sauce. The cheese steak was delicious. It was flavorful, cheesy, and a bit messy which made it excellent in my opinion. It was a good interpretation of a Philly Cheese Steak. It's more on the meal size than the snack size though, so it can fill you up. The staff was super friendly and had everything out to me quickly each time. They even have books for sale so look around at the walls for things you may want to look at. It's small so looking around may just be turning your head a bit. I wish they had Coke or Pepsi though. Just because I'm not eating meat doesn't mean I don't want a delicious cola to wash down my sandwich and nuggets! I'd go back for the cheese steak and would like to try some of their other items. read more

Hip City Veg- Rittenhouse Square! This is a must visit hip vegan cheesesteak restaurant. I can not visit Philly without having a plant based cheesesteak. I ordered my sandwich well done. The sautéed onions, mushrooms, The server suggested I try the turmeric tangerine drink. I must say everything was phenomenal. The only thing I wish they had was French fries. I don't like sweet potato fries, and I didn't know where to go to get fries. But that was fine because my amazing sandwich was everything. My only regret was that I didn't buy two sandwiches. I live in the NYC metro area, and couldn't just go back the next day. If I lived nearby, this would be my weekly go to place. I want to thank the staff, and manager for an excellent experience. Could not have been better. So grateful this place exist for lovers of Philly cheese steaks but without harming animals or the environment. read more

Amazing!!!!! Food is absolute . The chicken tastes like chicken. If you're vegan and skeptical to figure out if it's worth it... do it. It's legit. All the textures are accurate.

Yummy place for easy vegetarian (vegan?) burgers and sandwiches. I'm a fan of the smokehouse Burger and it was delicious. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you forget you're not actually eating beef. The location itself is small with four small tables and one high top table against the front window. The service was friendly and the wait time from order to finish was pretty quick. read more

This is the East Coast equivalent of Veggie Grill, but it's way better than VG. The food is better and the prices are better. What more to say? Oh, they have all-day breakfast and are open early! I got a mocha latte shake ($5) and loved it. The breakfast maple crispy chik'n sandwich ($6.49) was decent, though the maple syrup added nothing and made the sandwich worse. The sunnyside sausage, egg and cheese ($6) was a near-perfect replica of a McDonald's breakfast sandwich. While I enjoyed it, the thing wasn't exactly bursting with flavor. I am also getting tired of the endless repetition of Just Egg and Beyond/Impossible, which seems to be the only vegan combo allowed these days. All that, for $6 I can't complain. The golden hashbrown ($1.39) was tasty. Stop by HipCityVeg for a quick, cheap vegan meal. read more

Smokehouse Burger: Tasted similar to a Beyond Burger. There wasn't enough sauce on the burger so it was a little dry. Crispy HipCity Ranch: The texture of the chick'n looked and tasted like real chicken! Nuggets: Very crispy but dry. There was a hard to describe plant after taste. Loved the HipCity and sriracha aioli sauces. Sweet Potato Fries: Very good - nice crispy outside with soft inside. Kale Lemonade: It didn't have the tartness that is typically associated with lemonade. read more

Their milkshakes bring everyone to the yard. I love this place for when I crave vegan comfort food. My favorite is the buffalo chickn sandwich but in a wrap and next the Philly cheeze steak*. I did try their salad and I wasn't the biggest fan of the prepackaged salad. Their fresh juice is good as well. It is a quaint restaurant but certainly worth the drive. I'm awaiting the day they put one in central NJ (hint/hint). read more

Who said fast food can't be vegan?? This place proves that delicious, healthy vegan food can be served up QUICKLY! YUM! Everything we had was outstanding.

Was so excited to have a yummy vegetarian place a couple of blocks away. I've ordered from them about three times, but the last time I picked something up, I took a bite of my wrap to find a large, dirty piece of saran wrap in my sandwich. I called immediately, asked them to refund me (which they agreed to, via a giftcare or credit)... still waiting on that refund after about a week. Not even sure I'd want to give them another shot in the first place. What a gross choking hazard... read more

HipCityVeg - Saran wrap - Vegetarian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This year, I've focused on adapting a more plant based diet and was super excited to try HipCityVeg because I've heard so many great reviews. I think it's my own fault for hyping it up in my head so much before going in. My friend, got the smokehouse burger and I got the Crispy Ranch Chik'n. Let me be clear, there was nothing flavor wise. However, for the price there was nothing that blew us away. It is not vegan "meat" that magically tastes like real animal meat. It tastes good for what it is and I enjoyed it. That being said, I probably won't be back considering they sell these types of patties in most grocery stores. I'd recommend for the experience! read more

I dream about the Buffalo chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries here. I'm not vegan, but I'm 40 years old and my body can no longer handle a Buffalo chicken sandwich like it could when I was 20. This sandwich is delicious, but doesn't give me that feeling like there's a heavy weight in my stomach after eating it. The sweet potato fries are *chef's kiss*. Again, not heavy, and freshly made. I've tried the shakes and am not a fan. They make them with soy ice cream and I find soy milk to be too sweet. Several of my vegan friends love them though. read more
