    Hot link sausage
    Shanita F.

    I ordered the hot sausage sub and it was so good! I'm upset I didn't order two! It had just the right amount of heat, and was very flavorful! I could be wrong, but I think it was made with quinoa? Whatever it was, it was well seasoned and prepared. Bolingo took the orders and chatted with customers as we waited. We didn't wait long before the food was ready. Quick, hot and delicious plant-based food is in the neighborhood! They also deliver on waitr, but only on Fridays. I will definitely be a regular here! He also sells groceries, so pick up some ingredients while you wait. The parking lot is pretty small, but you should be able to find street parking. Once you walk into the building, turn to your right, walk towards the large open space, and the window to order food is straight back.

    I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I got the "better than Popeyes" sandwich with cauli wings. They were pretty good although the edges of my bun were burned. I liked the cauliflower better than the sandwich. I will say they took a really long time making my order. The cashier was nice and friendly. If you visit, it's kind of hard to find as it's a food truck in a back lot, make note that it's on the back side of the listed address. I'd probably return to try other items on the menu.

    Better Than Popeye's Sandwich with Cauliwings

    I enjoyed a delicious, vegan, lunch at Original Thought. The cauliflower wings are really good, the "chicken" sandwich was delicious. The chefs were incredibly friendly and made my day. Will definitely be back.

    back at original thought to try the loaded mac bowl -- their food is good, healthy, and full of flavor

    I first saw Original Thought on Instagram and the vegan/veggie friendly food looked good so decided to check them out. after eating the food and talking with the owner, this is now one of my favorite places to eat in the city. the better than popeyes sandwich and the wings were excellent. the macaroni bowl was alright but overall the food is good, tasty, and decently priced

    Amazing food, quick delivery, great prices! Loved every bit of both plates & definitely will make this place apart of my "ole faithful" every time I come to NOLA

    Absolutely 100% delicious!!! This place is always busy and they sell out fast (good for them!) but if you want to try them go early or order ahead. Don't let that detour you though, it's so worth it!!

    Chili hot dog

    First time finally trying Original Thought I'm big on customer service and it was great good customer service always bring a customer back! I ordered a chili dog, vegan burger and Hibiscus juice The "vegan meat" of the chili dog was something I could get out of the store those Italian links.... The chili was good made out of quinoa the bread was soft and warm but the link didn't give it that chili dog taste it through it off The burger was aright it tasted like a beyond burger... the juice was pretty good tho, I wonder what some of your most favorite meals are because business be booming I'd like to try some of the other foods out. Any recommendations would help,

    I ordered some food from original thought food truck at work today and it was incredible. Oyster mushroom po-boy was top notch! The cauliwings with lemon pepper = heavenly! Check them out, best vegan food in the city!

    Stuffed Plantain
    Juju J.

    Yeasss, I have eaten here about 6 times now and erthang good. This stuffed Plantain plate was 2 days worth of meals!!!

    Ok so I killed it. Omg BETTER than Popeyes. Will make veganism much easier for me.

    Omg I'm not vegan yet but this is making it soooooo much easier! Had the pulled jack burger and wings The wings (cauliflower) were better than real chicken wings. So glad I passed on Popeyes today. My new spot! Attaching photos but be warned I've slaughtered this food while starved!

In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand. This is the kind of business we should be proud to support as a community. Keep it up.

I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus. Just keep in mind that most of the menu is fried, so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for a particularly healthy meal.

There is a small parking lot in front of the food truck lot, and you can also find parking on the street. Added plus, bottomless mimosas for $13+ tax on Sundays!

Came with rice, plantains and greens. The chicken was on the bone and there were lots of little pieces to pick through. I didn't mind but some may. I came because a friend told me about the snowball truck that has dairy free condensed milk! She mistakenly told me he had a nectar flavor so I had my heart set on that. I ended up with an ice cream flavor with dairy free condensed milk. The condensed milk was delicious! The syrup wasn't as sweet and flavorful as I like my snowballs to be. I would definitely go back to try a different flavor. He makes all of his syrups with natural ingredients and said he may try to figure out a nectar flavor. My biggest complaint and the reason for the less than stellar review was the garbage smell that permeated the area. I tried relocating to three different tables to escape it. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. My best guess is a hidden dumpster somewhere. It was awful and hard for me to enjoy my food when there was a smell of garbage. Lots of space to sit, bathrooms and a bar area for drinks. There was also a live band playing music. It was a nice touch.

I was really looking forward to trying this place but unfortunately the menu was so limited. No jerk boudin balls, no crawfish Etoufee, fried fish, no oxtails, no Mac and cheese, only 1 order of Brussels sprouts. Still decided to try what they had available. We were told that there would be a 45 min wait for Mac and cheese. Waited over an hour and a half on food and still no Mac and cheese. Service to and from the table was extremely slow! Brussels sprouts came out over cooked. Mushrooms were great! Cooked well still had texture and moisture. Delicious. Jerk chicken was okay. Nothing special really with the flavoring, was cooked well though. Plantains were really good and cooked well. Coco curry shrimp was bussin! Great flavoring and this shrimp was fried to perfection. Pretty spicy but that wasn't a problem for me. Best dish I tasted from the establishment. Lamb chops were good. They were small I think for the price honestly. But no complains about them. The service is what would keep me from coming back here. For it not to be packed I felt like they were way too slow. We spent 2 hours just sitting there waiting. As far as the ambiance is concerned it's NOLA don't expect white table cloth dining at a local spot.
