Best Cheesesteak in Philly - Edit
I never leave reviews but the cheesesteak here was so good I had to. If you only try one philly cheesesteak it should be this one. Ordered with fries and the mocha cold brew milkshake and it's all amazing. The HipCity dipping sauce is also really good, it tastes like Chick Fil A sauce. Honestly the best greasy fast food type vegan meal I've ever had.

Those poor meat eaters are missing out - Edit
The most delectable seitan, mushroom, and onion cheesesteak right here in Philadelphia. The fresh roll, coconut based cheez and spicy ketchup with it took me straight to heaven.

Many Fast Food options - Edit
We all know that finding vegan versions of our favorite fast food isn't always easy. Luckily Hip City Veg seems to have most of those classic fast food items we love. And the flavor is pretty close too.

ALWAYS SO GOOD - Edit
Seriously wish I had a HipCityVeg in my town, but then I’d have like no money from always ordering from here so I guess it’s for the best. All the chick’n sandwiches are so tasty, and the onion rings are fantastic 🖤 the HipCity sauce is also DELICIOUS.

As good as other HipCitys, maybe better - Edit
I went to the Ardmore one as well, this one was just as good, honestly maybe better food quality wise. I am always blown away by how good hipcity veg is. My only gripe is that the interior of this location is very VERY small there was a sign that said extra seating through a back corridor, but it was just a little awkward. Space in Center City is probably a premium though so I will not fault them for that, and City Hall is close by and there is a park right there you can usually find a spot to sit and eat worst case.

YESYESYESYESYES - Edit
this food was SO FREAKING GOOD. the strawberry milkshake was the best milkshake i’ve ever had in my entire life. the philly cheesesteak was so awesome at making me (a vegan) not feel left out on the most iconic thing to eat in philly. the fries were good too but so salty. make sure to sign up for their rewards program before going to get a $5 discount!!!

Underwhelming - Edit
I’m not quick to give a mediocre review but I was left underwhelmed when I stopped in for a snack. $6 for 4, yes 4, onion rings that were overcooked and left uneaten.

BEST Vegan Cheesesteak! - Edit
HipCityVeg was the grand finale of my Philadelphia culinary adventure, and my goodness, was it worth the wait! With my vegan journey spanning seven years, I've had my fair share of plant-based cheesesteaks, but this one takes the cake. Also, the staff exuded friendliness, and the energy at HipCityVeg was positively electrifying!
Read moreI ordered the Philly Cheesesteak ($13.95), a mouthwatering masterpiece with grilled steak, maitake mushrooms, grilled onions, mozzarella cheese, and a generous amount of ketchup, all nestled within a long roll. Every bite was delicious – the vegan steak was unbelievably tender, the cheese melted flawlessly, and the mushrooms added an unexpected depth without overpowering the dish. My only wish? That they'd cut the sandwich in half for easier eating – it's messy, but oh-so-fun. And yes, extra napkins are a must!
As a sidekick, I tried their onion rings, and they were nothing short of ideal. They were battered and fried to golden perfection, delivering a satisfying crunch and an aroma that was downright heavenly. However, I must admit that the hefty price tag of $5.95 for just about four onion rings left me a bit surprised and that I can't justify.
Opting for takeout, I walked to Love Park, just a 10-minute stroll away. There, amid Philly's vibrant atmosphere, I savored every bite with the cityscape as my backdrop.

Pros: Fresh, Kind Service, Few locations
Cons: Onion Rings price vs amount
