I've eaten here a few years ago when they were Soul Vegan. I loved them then, and I love them now! As other Yelpers have attested to, large portions and scrumptious food. At a time when everything is so over inflated, it definitely feels great actually getting your money's worth. These meals can easily be split into two servings. I ordered delivery and my food arrived piping hot. I have no critiques. I am a fan! read more

I've ordered from Planted Soul via food delivery and also online for pickup. It is a ghost kitchen where you pick up. The food has been consistently delicious! I always get the Jamaica Me Crazy; fried "chicken" topped with spicy jerk sauce, Mac n cheese, greens, and rice and peas, everything is perfectly seasoned. My most recent visit, my brother came along and ordered the Good 4 The Soul; southern fried "chicken" wings, mac n cheese, collard greens and candied yams. He said the greens were "bussin'"; this is an extremely positive term ha ha! And he also said "whoever working the kitchen did their thing with these yams"! He's not plant-based on vegan and greatly enjoyed the food too! read more

I have not dined in person but ordered from UBer eats. First on my list is the planted soul. I get the sweet chili. Now the first time I ordered this the sauce was drenched in it which I prefer but the second time it was provided on the side. The Mac is cheese is hearty thick and creamy. Very flavorful. The yam were sweet and soft. The greens were cooked perfectly but a little tangly for my liking- perhaps too much vinegar. However the second time I ordered I didn't get that tangy flavor. Cornbread: I liked it had a slight sweetness but flavorful 5/5 Esquites : now I usually love this dish but it wasn't that great it had some type of sauce that made it runny and the corn was crunchy. Didn't care for the flavor or the chunks of cheese 2/5 Potato salad : didn't care for it that much. It again had a tangy flavor it was bland. Good texture for potato salad 3/5 Oyster wings : now I feel like if I was able to get to these fast , they wouldn't be soggy it was sweating in the styrofoam container but they were fluffy seasoned and fried perfectly !!! I would order these but not for delivery anymore 4/5 Soul Rolls : this was the first dish I ordered here and I loved it. Consistent each time great flavor and texture read more

Finally checked out Planted Soul. Would've taken pictures but I was starving by the time I got there.‍ Parking was a little challenging since there are only so many spaces. But I did find one. You also may be able to find street parking. Once I parked, I ordered the jerk chik'n philly. It comes with fries, ketchup & their sauce. The Philly is a lot of food by itself. As hungry as I was, I almost ate all of it. The fries could've been more fresh but were decent overall. Looking forward to trying other money items in the future. Hopefully, I'll remember to take pictures next time. read more

This food was fabulous. And we sure did get a heck of a lot of it too. Every single thing we got was fabulous. The Mac & cheese blew me away, especially because it didn't have that gross fake cheese flavor most vegan cheeses have. This place is SO busy and appears to be takeout only. We ate at the cider bar nearby which worked out well. I absolutely loved this place! read more

Visited Atlanta one weekend and decided to look for a vegan soul food restaurant. I found this restaurant via UberEats app and thought I'd give it a try. As a vegan for the last 2 years I must say this is the best vegan soul food I've ever had! Especially the macaroni and "cheese" which I think the restaurant did an excellent job as I haven't come close to any other vegan restaurant/company doing the same. Next time I visit Atlanta I'm definitely stopping by this restaurant again. I've already recommended it to my family and friends who live there to try it out. read more

This is my second time ordering from this restaurant through UberEats. Listen!! It's so freaking good!! It's about 30 mins from my house. This means extra long wait time. Each delivery the food was fresh, AND PLENTIFUL!! They give you huge portions. My favorites are their Mac and cheese and their cornbread!! Idk how they do it, but you can't tell that either are vegan! New fave! The greens have a lot of stems. Not my favorite greens ever, but also not bad. Buyer beware. 10 out 10 recommend! read more

I had the vegan seafood boil and let me just say it was delicious!!! Literally had me licking my fingers. I was not at all disappointed with the food. The only negative is the food was placed in a takeout box and was not in a bag so the juices and butter spilled out everywhere before i had even gotten to my car. The food was so good that i will definitely be ordering again and trying different menu items. This is a MUST TRY. read more

Woah... I had the Buffalo Chick'n Sandwich and it was 10/10! I felt as if I was eating chicken. Definitely recommend this place for vegans. The sandwich comes with fries and it is super filling. I had to split this into 2 meals lol. read more

I really liked this place! I went with my friend yesterday and we ate everything in the car since it's a food hall for pick up only, which we overlooked. The portion sizes were great. She got the Philly Rolls and fries. I got the vegan oxtail plate with a side potato salad and esquites. Everything was GOOD. The vegan oxtails are just mushrooms with oxtail gravy, which...it's okay if you don't really care for mushrooms. Probably won't get that again, but I still enjoyed it. Definitely will be back to try other things on the menu! read more

Won't he do it! This place is amazing and didn't know about it til last weekend with my sister and she ordered... oxtail pasta .. that was good but not flavorful, jerk chicken meal ...absolutely delicious.. fried mushrooms..delicious, some type of chicken pasta ..delicious.. banana pudding.. delicious...we ordered a good bit of the menu and all was delicious even the Mac and cheese was great the next day .. great portions of food ..will definitely order again and try to get the lobster roll before it's sold out. Service was to go and that was done well all packed right no leaks! Whoever cooks this food and did the menu ...You did an amazing job! If you haven't tried this place vegan or not you will be a returning customer! read more

Food was okay! It's a food hub so don't expect to be seated. Process was very quick and precise. Pickup from lockers and your good to go! Contactless pickup! read more

This food used to be so flavorful and immaculate but now it's terrible! The curry chicken and the yams HAVE NO FLAVOR, BUT the mac and cheese is still the same quality as last year! Last year this food tastes like your grandma made it where you savored every bite, but now the quality has significantly decreased. It smells like it has flavor, and I can see the spices but when you bite into it lacks any taste within the food. I am beyond disappointed because I loved this place but I will not be ordering from them again. The quality has significantly decreased! read more

Gave the cheesesteak egg rolls one more try hoping the last time was just a fluke. Nope, just as bland and tasteless as the first time. They're served with a little side cup of what tastes like Kraft bbq sauce, so I guess they figure if you slather that on it you won't know that they have no taste. Don't trust the website reviews too much, they delete any reviews they don't like; my review was only up for a couple hours and then they quickly removed it. Definitely disappointing, I wouldn't order anything else from here other than the esquites and maybe the mac and cheese... read more

this is one of the best places i've ever received food from. i was a bit unsure initially because i thought the pick up building was a little odd but it was 1000% worth it! the pickup location is a black warehouse, and when you order they'll send you a link to unlock a locker inside of the warehouse when your food is ready. there are numbered lockers on the inside wall, and all i had to do was click the link to unlock the locker and grab my food. i tried the good for the soul plate (yams, collard greens, mac, and fried chick'n) and i was happy to see the large portion! there was plenty of mac and cheese, and it was the best mac i've had as of posting. the yams were also exceptional. i'd recommend this plate because of the sampling variety. i was also interested in the wings, so i tried half bbq and half lemon pepper. the texture of the "chicken" was impressively realistic, and although the bbq was my favorite because of the sauce, i enjoyed the lemon pepper as well. the last thing i tried was the lobster melt. the fries that came with it were well seasoned, and the lobster melt itself held a lot of flavor. i didn't find the cheese to be sticky or glue-y, and thought the lobster was pretty accurate. definitely a good order. overall i'd definitely recommend because i could probably eat here every day! all the food was very well seasoned and packed a punch. the portion sizes are huge, the mac and cheese is a must-try read more

This restaurant is a part of a shared kitchen operative where you order online and pick your food from a locker. DON'T BE SCARED OR TURNED OFF! It was a simple process and the food was damn good. read more

As an avid supporter of plant-based foods and black owned plant-based restaurants, I was disappointed with the food and the experience I received from this establishment. I chucked my negative experience up to just "a one time thing" until I saw the numerous similar reviews on Google. Here's the thing, I have no qualms with their business model. I for one am an advocate for seeing the faces of the people I'm spending money to eat at. It's a part of the experience for me and I believe in building relationships with people. I understand the need and importance of ghost-kitchens/shared kitchens in today's economy. Nevertheless, that is NOT an excuse for poor customer service with regularly delayed order. Nor is that an excuse to provide your customers with sub-par vegan food at comparable price points to other better vegan restaurants. My expectation is that if I can't see or talk to anyone and I'm only able to pick up my food and go, that food need's to be delicious. As it stands, nothing I ordered from their establishment has given me a reason to return. But, I'm someone who believes in second chances. I believe this establishment has the potential to provide a better food experience for their customers and look forward to seeing that expectation come to fruition. read more

It's a curious little place owned by a nice enough lady. It actually houses two restaurants, the planted soul food was good so my family said after having to settle for what we could get. Unfortunately the restaurant was limited on food at 2:00 in the afternoon. No place in such a small town should run out of food midday, it wasn't as if there was a crowd of people waiting or even seated in the restaurant. read more

Hands down my absolute favorite vegan soul restaurant in Atlanta! If you like spicy, the Jamaican Me Crazy is a must. My other favs are the Mac and cheese with lobster and the Cajun Shrimp Pasta. The portion sizes are also large so you can share. read more

First time visit on 3/21/23. Ordered the Vegan Oxtail came with collard green not seasoned and taste like waste, Mac and cheese bland not season, rice and assorted beans bland not seasoned top with mushroom represent oxtail (thank god I like mushroom's, however, you know...not season and cornbread. I ordered a size of mac and cheese because I did not fully read the description. Mac and cheese was included w/meal. My bad. However, I was disappointed with the entire meal. This is a food hall that you can order and pickup. No eating area. You have to go to Forresteatery.com to order and pay. They will text you once order is ready and it took them about 30 minutes to prepared order. In text you will receive a locker number. Once you go back in you and to check-in. Don't unlock to locker until you have checked in. They gave a timeframe of 30-40 so order before heading that way to location. I did not know, so I sit patiently in the car. Oh, there are a variety of vendors servicing this location. Giving 3 star ONLY because of the portion size (large amount) and in total paid $30.98 (Oxtail $21.95 and size Mac and cheese $6.75) plus tax. More than likely will not go back. Munch on the one hour ride home and all could said was "Hmm" hoping the favors would kick in. I loved nothing about this meal but maybe the cornbread. It just was under seasoned. Will say I'm not a vegan, but plant-based. It's my plan to season to my liking and enjoy hopefully. I paid too much to throw away. Thanks Planted Soul. I gave it a shot. read more

Amazing food, Courtesy gifted owner and top chef! A must have! The ambience was really nice with cool Caribbean, African, and South American music. read more

Planted Soul ATL - 10 Piece Plangz (Plant-based Wings) - Soul Food Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

As far as vegan food goes, planted soul is just okay. I ordered the soul food plate and the red velvet bundt cake. The chick'n in the plate reminded me of the morningstar brand tenders and the collard greens were a bit under seasoned. The yams were good and the Mac and cheese was also good. The serving size was worth the price. If I eat here again I would definitely try a different dish but overall it was an average dining experience. Planted Soul is also located in like a food hall type of place so it is only take out and to go just FYI. read more

First time eating from Planted Soul ATL. At first I was hesitant because I was thrown off by getting a link and a locker to pick up my food. Still, I ordered the Good 4 the Soul entree and followed the directions to get my food. I must say the food was out of this world, good! The vegan chicken was the best I've had anywhere. The yams and macaroni and cheese were incredible! Whenever I want a taste of vegan Soul Food, I will order again from Planted Soul ATL. Might I add, the pick up concept works great too. read more

In heaven right now! Just had gigantic portions of the best vegan soul food, & I am so satisfied!!

The food was just amazing. Too bad I live in the Midwest, otherwise I'd eat here all the time.

Wanted to try this place out to see if it was worth the hype. Fried oyster mushrooms were seasoned well but really tough to chew. My mouth watered for the greens and I was sorely disappointed! They were wayyy to salty it was disgusting. My husband got the jerk chicken Philly with fries he enjoyed it but said the jerk seasoning wasn't really there. I wanted to try the Mac and cheese but after the greens I don't think I'll be returning. We didn't take pics because we were ready to try it. read more

So so good! Just like mama made it! #SoulFood #WholeFood can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Same great taste every time a bit heavy on the seasoning here and there but still irresistible !!!
