Absolutely blown away by how incredible everything tasted, vegan or not, the flavors were next-level. Every dish was perfectly balanced, fresh, and flavorful, nothing needed more or less of anything. You can really tell there's intention behind the food, and that care shines through in every bite. It's also so refreshing to support a place that's vegan not just for health, but out of a true love for animals. The eco-conscious touches, like reusable items throughout the restaurant, made the experience even more meaningful. Highly recommend checking this place out, the bakery is amazing, and the deli is unreal. 100% worth the visit. read more

I love trying different foods. Honest Pasture is a Vegan restaurant. The food was brought to us in a timely manner. The food was hot, delicious, tasty, and filling. I ordered the deli master sandwich, pumpkin French toast, 3 beyond strips, and potatoes with seasoning. We sat and enjoyed our meal watching a Christmas (The Santa Clause) movie. I did eat on my food before I took pictures. I ordered extra sauce for my strips, BBQ and honey mustard. There were other customers in the restaurant enjoying their food. Very cozy restaurant. I had food left over for the next day. read more

Soooooo good! During my weeklong stay visiting from Seattle, tried the BLT, the reuben, and the french dip. All were unbelievably tasty and enjoyed by adults and kids alike. The food also wasn't overly greasy or heavy like vegan "comfort food" often is. Dined-in, and did takeout, both were prompt, friendly, and environmentally-responsible experiences. Will be back next time I am within 50 miles! read more

VIRGINIA BEACH | Honest Pastures | why can we not have places like this literally everywhere? Mama loves a good sandwich and HP serves. I cannot get past the fact that I have to leave northern Virginia to get a good sandwich. We had the Reuben and the chicken Philly. Kids had the grilled cheese and chicken strips. All were a hit and the fries were delish. We will be back tomorrow for breakfast because it was that good. Kuddos to this place for welcoming families with young kids. Not only do you have multiple items on the menu for them but there are high chairs and a changing table. Crazy how those things are hard to come by. read more

Good vegan spot! Not far from the ocean front and a huge menu to choose from. Little deli atmosphere. Don't miss grab and go fridge with candy bars... incredible. I got a classic hoagie and was not disappointed. I want to come back to try some other goodies. Food came out pretty fast. Service could've been friendlier but hey everyone has bad days. Working in food service is hard. read more

Honest Pastures - LARGE - Philly...SO good! - Vegan Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I came in with high hopes, the concept is great, the atmosphere is inviting, and I love supporting vegetarian spots. But unfortunately, the food just didn't deliver. The sandwich I ordered looked promising but lacked flavor. The ingredients were fresh, sure, but the overall taste was bland and underwhelming. Even the sauces didn't do much to help. I genuinely wanted to enjoy it and become a regular, but for the price and the lack of flavor, I probably won't be back. Hopefully they can tweak the recipes, because the idea is there, just not the taste. read more

I had the Honest Philly and it was amazing. So is their potato salad and lavender lemonade. I'm not vegan myself, but have friends that are, so I introduced them to this place. This isn't just good "for vegan", It's amazing period. I highly recommend read more

I have never seen so many different vegan meat options in my life. Even if you are not vegan you can still have a tasty meal here. I did an early dinner with a Reuben Sandwich and side of Cauliflower "Onion" rings. The meat (non-meat) was sooooo good. My girlfriend got the Mediterranean sandwich with the pickled cucumber salad side that was also good. The owners are super friendly and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming! Next visit will be to try breakfast. If any criticism it would be they close so early at 6pm but that seems to be all vegan places. read more

Honest Pastures - Reuben Sandwich with cauliflower "onion" rings and a side of ranch. - Vegan Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I recently moved to Virginia from Florida and this is one of the first places I found when searching for vegetarian/vegan options. I was not disappointed!! The service was great, and everyone was so kind and my food came out as quick as it could to have been made fresh. I took my food to go, but the seating was nice and there was plenty of room to eat at the deli! The food was SO good. It's so unreal sometimes to go from having one option at a restaurant to going to a deli where I could literally order anything I want. I haven't eaten meat in close to 10 years, so being able to order an Italian sub was incredible. I don't even have a photo because I was so excited to eat it. I also tried the bird dog which was so yummy. I will be back for sure!! Love supporting a local business doing work like this. :) read more

When we lived in PA, we went to the Lancaster Vegan Festival, and met some cool people who made their own vegan meat... we asked about a physical location to eat in, and they said it didn't exist... Fast forward - Little did we know we'd be moving to Virginia Beach a few years later, and here they were... Honest Pastures! As a deli! The food is amazing - sandwiches stacked high with delicious and healthy ingredients... they work really hard to create quality meals - and those air-fried "french fries" - wow! Even if you aren't vegan or vegetarian, you'll be blown away by the cheesesteaks, the chik'un sandwiches, the breakfast burritos, the reubens... you name it - the menu has a ton of variety! The place reminds me of the small deli I used to go to as a kid - a few tables and chairs, a bustling environment, and a ton of happy people. So glad we're here, and they're here! read more

I've been getting my vegan roast beef fix at Honest Pastures for a long time, and it never disappoints. The quality is consistently amazing, and the flavors are out of this world. One of my absolute favorites is the N'Arby's sandwich. It's moist, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned--everything you want in a sandwich and more. It's honestly hard to believe it's all plant-based because the texture and taste are just that good. The staff here are always incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's the kind of place that feels good to support--not just for the food, but for the people behind it. If you're vegan, vegan-curious, or just love good food, do yourself a favor and check out Honest Pastures. You won't regret it! read more

Great sandwiches and more! Highly recommend! I stop by anytime I'm in town! Nice people also.

We were excited to find another vegan restaurant that has a decent menu selection. Unfortunately, we may have visited on a day that their staff was having a bad day. The service was mediocre, as in they seemed annoyed that we were there, and should have been excited to have new clientele. As I have read through other reviews, I've seen a pattern concerning the male figure who also works there, bald with tattoos, having a negative disposition towards customers. This negativity sadly goes into the food that they prepare. As you will see from the photos I have included, the food was not great. The five dollar sweet tea tasted good, but should include free refills, since the cup isn't that big for a large. Other than the Na'Arby's sandwich, all the breads and meats were extremely dry. The Cuban needed more mustard or sauce of some type to help with flavor. The Sautéed Jerk Collards tasted OK, but we're very salty. Even though my daughter liked the Whatever! - Chickun Strips with fries, they were way overpriced for 3 small pieces less than 3" each. The Heavy Eye Roll - Hammy & Cheese was the most dry and difficult to eat, and was also missing fries that we were charged for but not provided. Last, but not least, a little good news, and so glad I ordered them. The Fried tofu bites and Honest fil-A sauce were the best out of everything. Now onto ambiance. We enjoyed getting to play a board game with our son while our daughter relaxed on the small sofa. Overall, we wish this place the best, but considering what the vegan movement is supposed to stand for with love and peace, they may need to focus more on those two aspects to enhance their food and ambiance. read more

I've been trying every plant based, vegan restaurant as they pop up and Honest Pastures has the best tasting food I've had yet. They score very high in the areas plant based places around here tend to lack in: flavor, quality of bread, execution. We had gyros and Italian subs and they were spot on. Soft bread, accurate flavors and good textures. And please don't underestimate the importance of the bread comment. SO MANY plant based places I've been fall flat on their faces when it comes to the bread. And it ruins the sandwich. This place has it figured out !Everything was outstanding. In addition, their customer service was excellent too. We were late picking up our order and they hung around until we could come and get it. 5 stars across the board we'll be frequenting them going forward. read more

Fabtastic vegan spot. I've been twice. This last visit, I tried The Hot Chick, rosemarry fries, the smore cookie, and chocolate chip cookie. My first visit I had a brunch platter (don't remember exactly which one, nothing noteworthy), and the person I was with got the french toast, which she raved about. Staff is friendly. Seating is available. Aside from menu items, they also have items for sale such as vegan cheese, desserts, etc. read more

Awful! Eat somewhere else. Way overpriced. Cleanliness below standard. Bread was old.

First time here and won't be my last when I'm on this side of town! I've been meaning to stop by my buddies locally owned vegan spot and it did not disappoint! I got the gyro with air fried fries that taste like they were fried, you know I had to try all the cookies there as well, delicious! I have to bring the wife and kid here! Thanks friends! read more

Running around Virginia Beach and wanted something quick and light. This deli was close and the menu looked good and healthy. We had the mushroom burger, a 'turkee', provolone and honest 'bakun' and a side of seasoned fries. All vegan and very tasty. We don't normally eat vegan and this was a new experience. Everything was very tasty. read more

We tried lots of things like the double bakun cheese burger, hotdog (for the win), potato salad (okay I see you) , fries, turkey sub, and macaroni salad (uh nooo)... I would say overall everything was pretty good. Most important they were there for us to eat . They do need to switch that turkey back to the Worthington brand because the in house made turkey taste like it has to much sage (hello thanksgiving on my sandwich). Oh and that burger just stick to either or not a mixed blend burger, offer the impossible and your house burger. Some of the flavors are taste preference for sure. I think some times vegan food gets heavenly seasoned with herbs... It should be burned like incense instead of eaten. read more

I am so glad I was finally able to try this place out. I heard absolutely amazing reviews and I definitely see the hype is real. Service was amazing. So welcoming and friendly. It's a small place but very neat and clean. We got the Philly steak and the Cuban and both were so delicious, flavorful and filling. The tiramisu for dessert was perfect. I cannot wait to try more items on the menu. My husband is not vegan but absolutely loved the Cuban. I am vegan and this place is my go to now! read more

We went to Virginia Beach for my birthday. I got the Ruben and large grinder. I ate half the grinder when I got back home. I saved the other half to eat on Sunday when I watched the game. It was so so so so good. I went to look for the rest of my sandwich and it was gone. I found out that my non vegan husband ate it. He said it was good but a little dry. I sad the oil and vinegar was in a container on the side because I was eating the sandwich later. Needless to say I am still reading In upset about him eating my sandwich a week later. read more

First time visit, wasnot sure what to expect as a lot of plant based deli/cafes have limited gluten free options. Honest Pastures had their gluten free options up on a chalkboard making options way to identify, which I loved. Gentleman & young lady working behind the counter were extremely friendly and helpful. I got the Chickpea Toona Fish wrap full of yummy toppings and scarfed it down. Very tasty! Love it can be customized to whatever ingredients you want which means each time it can taste different. Also good a blueberry Empowered Plant Cake which I'm very excited to try. The prices were VERY reasonable (which is nice to see as often speciality shops gouge a bit) I will definitely be coming back & telling all my plant based/curious friends. read more

Amazing vegan deli! The quality of their product is great and yummy! It is hard to pull off, let alone find, good vegan options, but thankfully honest pastures is nearby. Their staff is always friendly and the service is quick. Definitely recommend read more

I don't want to sound all gushy and over the top, but...OH MY MY!! WOW! Let me say it backwards for dramatic effect...WOW! I ordered a Turkey and cheese (saving that for later) and a Ham/cheese sub (I added a broccoli slaw because it looked so good). The ham sub was simply divine. Super fresh bread, and though I haven't had ham in nearly 17 years, I definitely remember the taste--it was spot on! My husband had the Philly and though it was messy ("messy" in a good way--it had so much meat and toppings on it), it was flavorful. His fear was it was not going to have the "Philly" meat...but they came out from the back with his sandwich and it was indeed the "Philly" shaved meat that he expected. The staff was amazingly helpful. We even met the owner and she too, was encouraging us to sample a few other items. The "Egg" Salad held its own; it was tasty and had egg salad-like consistency. We sampled the "steak" and I think I had buyer's remorse. It tastes and felt so much like actual STEAK, I secretly wanted to change my order and get that instead. My husband sampled the "unRib" and he said it would make a great sandwich with a little extra BBQ sauce. We finished our meals with the lavender lemonade and apple/orange cider (and absolute MUST)...I'm not going to say I took it home and added a shot of moonshine to give it a kick but...(ok, I took it home and added a shot of 'shine! LOL!) My stomach is full and my heart is happy. I just found my new fav sandwich spot! read more

BEST DELI!! And guess what? It's VEGAN! I went to the soft opening of today! The space is amazing, setup perfect, and everyone is so sweet! I met the owner, Dacia...I'm so proud of her and excited for all of Virginia Beach's vegan community and non-vegans alike!! The food is just incredible. So, I got the Philly Cheese Steak, French Dip (comes with au jus), and Veggeroni Pasta Salad -- all of it made by Honest Pastures and ALL VEGAN! Oh and I got a pound of Corned Beaf (that "beaf" is trademarked!!) -- no one would know it's vegan!! I've been loving the CB since I first tried it!! The sandwiches were and I can already see Philly Cheese Steaks in my future!! The French Dip was delicious and had the perfect amount of horseradish aioli. The pasta salad was gone in a blink. I also picked up a Snickers Cake made by @empoweredplantcakes (Heavenly! I've had many of their slices before) and a Blueberry Crumble Mufflin made by @jmtsweets (I have not tried it yet!). I will be back! Do yourself a favor and try the food!! read more

We were at First Landing State Park, and we used Happycow to find vegan or vegetarian options restaurants. Up popped this restaurant. We thought it would be a few vegan selections. We were happy to find the whole menu is plant-based. I had a Grinder sub, and my wife had the french dip. Both were great. The staff was very friendly. They told us good-looking old couples eat free but told us we would have to pay double. We will be camping in the area soon, and we will be eating here every day. I can't wait to try breakfast. read more

Absolutely AMAZING!! I've been vegan for a few months now and was craving a good sandwich. I got the grinder with air fried fries and omg. The sandwich was out of this world, tasted just like salami and ham. The fries were great! If you go I would recommend trying the Honest-fil-a sauce (vegan version of Chick-fil-A sauce) for the fries, it is sooo good. Highly recommended. Will definitely be frequenting this place! read more

Would I suggest this restaurant to a vegan or a vegetarian? Absolutely hands down! Passing through the Virginia Beach area and seen this place and it did not disappoint! Currently staying 2 hours away and already thinking of an excuse to come back just so I can eat here! Place was cute and well maintained, plenty of parking, and friendly staff! The food however was amazing!

I would have never stopped in had there not been an event today advertising for veg fest but when you are hungry and see an eccentric man holding a free food sign and balloons you best believe I'm gonna pull through . As I walked in with my children I was met with a table filled with options thier menu has to offer. I wanted to learn more about these vegan options I was offered as I am unfamiliar of vegan anything but the people manning the event didn't seem to have much knowledge on the food . When I asked the man behind the counter about my curiosities he made me feel as if I was bothering him or that he didn't want to be at work . Tall skinny man with tattoos . However I will deflect by saying the food was amazing. The hummus was giving allll of the flavors I never knew I needed in hummus (all hummus I've ever tried in the past could never compare ) they have a lavender lemonade that is absolutely amazing I'll most definitely be back for those two particular things that stood out to me . I tried the "roast beef , and turkey " in wrap form and sandwich form and I'm questioning if meat is even necessary in life with how good these options are. The ambiance of this place is very homey / and outdated They have a Pac-Man game in the corner which attracted my two year old obviously. There was a paper sign on it that read "a 500$ deposit is required for all unattended children" while it made me giggle it almost deterred the thought of returning because I always have my children with me and while I do believe etiquette / table manners is a important life skill I truly love a place I can go to eat and not worry about my child possibly inconveniencing someone / touching something they shouldn't be touching. All in all the food is great The atmosphere is okay The customer service could use some tweaking And I will most definitely be back when I want a little treat for myself. read more

This place is absolutely amazing and I'm so proud of the owner, what she stands for and what she contributes to the community. The food here is absolutely amazing!! Very flavorful!! Idk how she does it. Everything is made in house.. all the sauces etc. The ranch is yummy with the fries. I've ordered the philly , build your own burger and the Reuben I think lol. All were smashing!! I was so upset because I didn't get a chance to capture a photo for the review lol. But the burger was legit demolished in 3 minutes NO CAP I can't wait for breakfast to start I'll definitely be returning! Thanks everyone for all you do for the planet, animals and community read more

I had my sights set on this place before I even got to Virginia Beach, from Michigan, and I was definitely not disappointed. Prices are very fair and they have sooo many options. We got the Italian sub and also the philly- my only complaint was I feel like the philly needed some kind of sauce because it was a little dry; so definitely recommend adding mayo or something. Beyond that, flavors hit the mark. If I am ever in Virginia again I will definitely be back! read more
