Fun place! - Edit
I came here with a large group of 11 people. The service and food were great! Admittedly, some things we liked better than others, but on the whole the food was a real treat--definitely a place to check out while in Jacksonville!

Delicious lunch, open on Mondays - Edit
Delicious!! This black owned restaurant had it all. Go in and tell them it’s your first time and they will give you a sample of all their meats to try: their beef, sausage, and ribs!

Great Food and service! - Edit
First time here and when I asked what they would recommend, they gave me a little sampler of their different “meats” and they were all really good. Difficult decision, but I had the KravyBack Ribz dinner with black eyed peas and the Mac n Cheeze. Amazing and lived up the the hype of being infamous! Have to be back to try the rest of the menu items!

Happy Little Accident - Edit
Was strolling with my non vegan sister and niece when I saw this place. I was not exceptionally hungry but decided to go in and I ordered a small mac-n-cheese and an Island Punch cocktail. The cocktail was good, but the Mac-n-cheese was superb. I ate the whole thing before I thought to take a pic. The staff was super friendly too. I wish I had been hungrier so I could try a few more of their signature dishes. Definitely would recommend based on the mac-n-cheese alone.

Convenient and DELICIOUS! - Edit
I randomly chose KraVegan as a roadtrip stop between Savannah and Tampa because it was close to the highway. I am so happy I did! It was literally 2 minutes from the exit, parking was simple and free, and the food turned out to be amazing. You will not find ultra processed burgers at this joint because most everything was made in house. I will definitely be back any time I pass near Jacksonville! Thank you KraVegan.

Amazing - Edit
This place is really special. The customer service is only rivaled by the delicious food here. I've been to my share of soul food vegan restaurants, but it's rare to see so many options made with wholefood based ingredients. The restaurant is family owned, and the pride they put in their food goes without notice. My only complaint is that I'm out of town and I don't have a restaurant like this close by. I will visit here every time I'm in Jacksonville.

Great Vegan Soul food - Edit
I've been a fan of KraVegan since they started selling from their truck on Hodges! The food is delicious! I've tried a few of their dishes over the years and have loved them all! Their Mac and cheese is perfectly creamy. All of their vegan meat has a pretty accurate texture to their nom vegan counter and is seasoned incredibly well. The custom sauces they make used on their tacos and cheese fries are delicious even my non-vegan spouse struggles to share the cheese fries with me. Their cookies are delicious, they melt in your mouth and always a great addition if I have a little more money to spend. My personal go-to order is the Smoked Rib Mac hoagie and Cheese fries. I've met the owners several times as a customer and they are both incredibly kind and dedicated and it's nice to see the love they put into the food grow from a truck to an indoor/outdoor restaurant! My only small critique is that the prices are a little high, however, they do have deals more and more regularly, which I always appreciate. To me, the taste of the food and the love from the owners is enough for me to keep coming back again and again!

Loved everything about KraVegan - Edit
My partner and I stopped here on a whim while on a road trip from Pennsylvania since we had some free time during the day before we stopped to sleep. The staff was wonderful, including the owners who came out to say hi and made sure we had everything we needed. They even asked if our dog wanted water. We sat outside in the small covered patio, the day was perfect for it. They brought us a few samples to try before ordering. I can't think of any other place that would do that!
Read moreWe had Krab Poppers to start which came out incredibly fast. We got to dig into those while we drank some delicious berry hibiscus kombucha. My partner ordered 2 "fish" tacos and I got a "meatball" hoagie. Both dishes came with fries which we eagerly upgraded to their KraCheezy Fries. We didn't have to wait long, the food came out very fast and was nice and hot. The meatball hoagie was larger than I anticipated but was so good, I couldn't leave any on the plate. The fish tacos were very tasty. I'd never guess that banana blossoms could make such delicious tacos. 😋 Their cheeze sauce was also amazing, glad we upgraded the fries.
We can't recommend KraVegan enough!
Pros: Attentive and friendly staff, Incredible food, Perfect atmosphere

Favorite Vegan Restaurant in Jax - Edit
The food here is always fenomenal. They also do a great job convincing meat eaters that vegan food can be just as delicious. They even offer sampling at their restaurant for newbies. I always get the jackfruit Chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce. It’s always hot, fresh, and flavorful. 5 stars!!!

The food is amazing, but the workers and owners are also wonderful and super down to earth folks! Had the best conversations with the owners and one of the employees Octavia. (Hopefully spelled that name correctly 😬). I would recommend the Crabcakes over the Mac and cheese and my husband got the portobello burger 🍔 😋. Definitely need to stop in and support this growing business 😀 👍

1 hour 30 minutes wait for my food - Edit
Without a doubt it was good, was it the best? Mhmm probably not. I won't be going back here again. I ordered fries, greens, portobello mushroom burger, and Mac & Cheese. Sadly waited 1 hour 30 minutes for my food to arrive to me. I was given a small lemonade drink for the long wait. The best thing was only the fries and greens, however it was extremely small serving size. The Mac & Cheese was sadly nasty and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Mediocre Vegan - Edit
The food is edible but not amazing. They are NO LONGER AT THE MALL. The mall location was great but this new one... They are clearly struggling.. can't afford to put the business name up outside or remove the current one (business name is still up from the last business in that location) Cleanliness should be a priority. With so many other great vegan options in Jax, I won't be back to Kravegan.

Hey thank you for your valuable comment. However, we’ve been visiting this place just a couple of hours after you and simply loved it. Definitely one of the best vegan places in the US we’ve visited by now. We are experienced travelers and must say we really loved the food as well as the service. Ital LOVE!
Read morehappylovebug143
Best in the US is a STRETCH. Your other reviews are not in the US.. where else have you tried?? In Jax try VEGAN cafe jax , Orlando- WPBC, Ethos, Drunken Monkey, and many more. If you got farther south TAMPA: international food Co is TO DIE FOR! and don't get me started on MIAMI😋I look fwd to you exploring the successful vegan spots in the US 🫶🏾

I simply indicated that my experience was completely different from yours with just a few hours in between the two experiences. Not less not more 😉 I doubt that the amount of my reviews written here correlates with the total amount of experiences I’ve already made - just to add that.

I dont understand the assumption that we were there on the same day. I didn't say which day I visited. What a shame you don't have time to document your favs! Make sure you do reviews for the best places you go.. that's the point of THIS app. You're welcome for the other great suggestions 🫶🏾 God Bless!

I’m in LOVE with this place - Edit
I am just beyond impressed with this place. The service is AMAZING. They give samples and are passionate about their food. The dishes are just amazing. They make beets taste like roast and potatoes & cabbage tastes like sausage. This place is a definite recommend and I’m still stunned by how good it was. Tried the vegan ribs main dish and just amazing. The Mac & cheese was also one of the best I’ve had. Loved my experience.

The food is extraordinary!! The service is top tier.
Read moreI got the Krabless cakes over Mac and cheese, Blacked unscallop Alfredo, the Tasty triangles, 1 Chik’n taco and 1 Beefless roast taco with French fries and a Kravy back smoked rib Mac hoagie to go. All of it was phenomenal. They make their KraSauge with Cabbage & potatoes, the Krabeefless Roast with mushrooms & beets, and the Ribs with jackfruit & mushrooms.
Rachel’s service was outstanding. She was delightful. She’s passionate, sweet and super attentive. I loved all of her recommendations. #chikntacoforthewin #lifechangingmacNcheeze
