Maybe next time

I would def try this place again because I heard good reviews but personally I’m not a fan, only had the nachos with mushrooms on top so ik what not to get again. But the staff was nice.

The most mid place in Chicago

We have tried this place twice now because all I hear is good things and we wanted to give it a second chance. Sad we wasted money a second time. We tried like 7 things on the menu and the only thing we actually liked was the awesome cake from Pie, Pie, My Darling which has a crazy upcharge, so we'll just be buying her cake direct. Unfortunately most of the food options could be easily made at home with a quick trip to frozen vegan food section of the grocery store.

Worst vegan restaurant

The only good thing about this place is a few brunch items. The food is cooked from frozen, not fresh. He charges outrageous prices for Beyond Meat patties. On a few occasions, I ordered the cauliflower wings, and each time, they were burnt. In spite of this, I really tried to support this place, but I sent the owner a private message regarding something I found in a side order of black beans I found. Instead of discussing it with me, the owner blocked me.

Frankie, you are right, you’ll never step again at Kale My Name because we will call police again and file restraining order. You’ve been harassing me for long 4 years and it’s really time you stop. I’ve blocked you everywhere because you wouldn’t stop sending me inappropriate messages talking about sexual dreams you have with me and keep insisting on inviting me out. I declined politely multiple times until I had to block you. Now you are writing reviews on Google, Facebook, yelp, even Happy Cow telling people we serve bugs in our food and that I blocked you because you tried to provide me with feedback. I blocked you because you are harassing me and my employees, calling restaurant and inquiring about my whereabouts. It’s all very scary, so to protect my safety, I’ve shared everything you’ve been sending me online on my instagram and Facebook and hundreds of thousands of people have seen your messages to me and harassment my employees and I had to endure because of you. Because you are blocked everywhere, you refreshed and rewrote your google review more than a hundred times over the last 4 years so it pops up in recents and this needs to stop. Please get help. I’m praying for you, I’m praying for your healing.
I’m praying you leave me alone.
Please, please just leave me alon

YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I NEVER CONTACTED YOUR RESTARAUNT LOOKING FOR YOU. THE LAST TIME I EVER CALLED YOUR RESTAURANT WAS ABOUT 3 TO 4 YEARS. I TOLD YOU ONE TIME ABOUT DREAM I HAD ABOUT YOU, NOTHING MORE. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, AND I WILL BE SUING YOU FOR SLANDER. YOU'VE ADMITTED THAT YOUR POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA LIES ABOUT ME.

Great Brunch

During a recent Chicago visit I finally got an opportunity to try KMN on a weekend. Brought two friends and we ordered off the brunch menu. I had the cauliflower wings and waffles. It comes with both buffalo sauce and syrup, but I skipped the buffalo and the syrup on the cauliflower was great. They give you so much cauliflower I ended up sharing. It was so tasty. We also ordered the empanadas. We thought we were getting the cream cheese and guava, but I think we got potato and mushroom. Whatever it was, it was delicious! It was a great meal and I wish I could eat there more often.

So many options!

The menu is big and I struggled with what to pick! I ended up getting the taco sampler and really liked it. Our server was super nice too😄

Delicious!

I had the Mac and cheese balls and the tofu buffalo wrap (with fries)- so good! Don’t be fooled, the Mac and cheese balls are big! I realized I was getting full as I was finishing my second one, so I stopped to wait for my wrap. The Mac and cheese balls are perfectly fried and an amazing cheesy taste. Plus they’re served with a “ranch”sauce that is delightful. The tofu buffalo wrap was one of the best wraps I’ve had in a while because it’s exactly my style- nothing over the top, just simple ingredients flavored and wrapped to perfection. The Bloody Mary was perfect as well! It’s tough to find a vegan Bloody Mary, and this one was exactly the way I like- (again) simple and flavorful. You can get it spicy or not. I’ll be back!

Pros: All vegan, Great tasting food, Lots of space inside- choose a table or a couch

Cons: None

Fantastic comfort food, friendly staff, super cute interior. Their menu is robust and my non-vegan partner enjoyed his dish as well!

Will be back when we're in town.

Enjoyed my to go order

Passing through Chicago, I had the Mac and cheese balls, broccoli cheese soup, and lemon cake. It was all amazing! The Mac and cheese balls had a perfect crunch but could have used a bit more cheesy flavor, broccoli cheese soup was delicious, and the lemon cake was moist and flavorful. Service was immediate and very friendly.

Pros: Food, Service, Environment

Cons: Road side parking, Congested area with narrow roads

Disappointing environment!

The second we walked into the door and had to walk across the sticky floors, we knew it was going to be a rough ride🤣 the whole vibe of the restaurant was very outdated, dingy, and dull. It was very dark with no energy or emotion. We had to drink out of plastic, chipped-up cups with colorful plastic straws. There was one waitress who spent most of her time sitting on her phone, eating in the back of the restaurant. Maybe our expectations were once again, too high. Luckily the wraps were actually pretty tasty. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and had good flavor. If the restaurant did some updating and maybe scrubbed their floors once in a while, I’d consider going back.

Pros: Good food , Street parking , Lots of options

Cons: Dirty and outdated , Poor customer service , Sticky floors, bad vibes

Great people and great food

This is a solid spot in the Chicago vegan restaurant scene. They have a good menu with options for everyone, along with comfortable surroundings and friendly service. You can’t go wrong at this place.

So delicious!

I've been wanting to come here for brunch, and it didn't disappoint! The Cauliflower Wings and Waffles were so good! I also had a side of rosemary potatoes. My mom really liked the Breakfast Burrito. I will come back for dinner next time. I want to try the Tacos.

Healthy and delicious gem

A fabulous find by my vegan friends. Relaxed and friendly, the dishes were flavourful and so delicious. Plenty of kale makes it healthy and high fibre too. Loved all the dishes we ate and would highly recommend to everyone.

Great atmosphere, good food, ok service

Really great atmosphere and vibe but food was only good, not great and service was only ok due to apparent understaffing. Would go again to try different food on the menu.

Bigh hopes. Not good.

The kale salad was a mound of tough raw kale with a big mound of vegan parm on top.

Pros: Totally vegan

Cons: Food is terrible.
