My non vegans daughter loved - Edit
I had the gyro my daughter had the Mac n cheese with some sort of chikn on it. My gyro was delicious, I chose the chikn for my protein. It was tender and perfectly seasoned. The creamy white sauce was perfect.

All vegan, a little scruffy - Edit
Good vegan junk food with an area to sit and eat. A little scruffy - the tablet to order didn’t work and it felt a little dirty. Good portions but not cheap. No toilet.

delicioso sandwich de seitan - Edit
tiene muchas opciones de sandwiches, hamburguesas y platos. Yo probé el giro de seitán y estaba muy rico. Por poner una pegá, les pedí agua y me dijeron que se había acabado lo cual es extraño. No me ofrecieron ni agua del grifo. Es un sitio básico. No tiene ni baños públicos y para el precio me parece caro.

Pros: es vegano!
Cons: relación espacio/servicio y precio, no hay baños (para el precio), sirven todo en plástico

Delicious huge portions - Edit
Both of us had the Mac and cheese with Chickn tenders. Served with ranch drizzle - heavenly! We could have split one - serving was huge. But I finished mine!
Read moreThe interior is nothing special, just a few stools at a bar. But it is fast food, not fine dining.
Pros: Delicious mac n cheese, vegan
Cons: price, staff not too friendly, no tables

HUGE amount of food! A perfect spot for filthy fuel! - Edit
We stopped by on our day trip to NY and after 8 hours of walking we needed some filthy fuel to keep us going.
Read moreThis was the perfect place!
We ordered two portions of loaded fries and the mac n cheese bowl with Impossible beef, all of which tasted amazing!
It was pretty pricey at around $60 but it was a huge amount of food and was super tasty and of course in the centre of NYC!
I completely recommend!
Pros: Mac and cheese was incredible!, Huge portions, Cheesy sauce was delish
Cons: A bit expensive - but it is NYC

Great fast food - Edit
Had a seitan gyro with added jalapeños. Absolutely delicious. (A meatarian definitely wouldn’t know it wasn’t meat!) Great flavours. Fast service. Not a large outlet but all good 👌🙌

Habenero wings were so good! - Edit
Had the habenero wings and they were great. The cane sugar bones were nice as well. Fries were okay, nothing to write home about.

Good if in a hurry/ craving junk food - Edit
Good for last min, food was a little bland but it’s fast food (so not exactly healthy lol)
Read moreVeganonthefly

Tasty vegan fast food - Edit
I ordered through a touch screen (I prefer human interaction, though), and my food was ready quickly. While it was a bit pricey, the portion sizes were generous. I chose a seitan platter, which tasted fantastic, and the spices were just right for my palate. There's a small area at the back for dining in. I would definitely like to try this place again when I'm next in New York.

Great shakes! - Edit
While it did end up costing $15 after adding in taxes and tip, it was a very very good vanilla shake! Everything I was looking for!

Vegan Junk Food at its Finest - Edit
Let's take a popular, junk-food vegan truck and roll it into it's own brick and mortar and you get Vegan on the Fly.
Read moreI first tried them when they were a truck and now happily enjoy this small, sit down shop where you can indulge in some tasty vegan comfort food. Note that this is not meant to be healthy but a once-in-a-while kind of situation.
You order at the front before finding a seat in the back. I went with their loaded Mac n Cheese with shredded beef and it was a lot! Both in the quantity and also in taste. The cheesy flavors were on point and the mix of sauces with the mock meats made this quite a meal. I definitely had to share this with someone and could not finish it myself.
While I enjoyed their food, I was disappointed that they didn't have a bathroom which means you'll have to find another business in the meantime.
Cons: No restroom available

Incredible Mac ’n’ Cheese! - Edit
We visited Vegan on the fly twice because their Mac ’n’ Cheese is simply amazing – creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. If you love vegan comfort food, this is an absolute must-try!
Read moreJust a small note: if you’re sensitive to salt, it might be a bit strong for you. For us, though, it was just perfect and definitely a highlight.

Delicious food - Edit
Came here for a quick takeaway before taking the LIRR from Grand Central. Food was very quick, and was delicious. We had the beyond mac bowl bbq (very unexpectedly spicy but nice), nashville hot chicken burger, and fries. All very nice.

would go back - Edit
the jerk chicken was really good and the mac and cheese beneath it was decent. the service was really fast, but i feel like it is a bit overpriced. $17 for a single gyro feels like a bit much.
Read moreVeganonthefly
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the jerk ‘chicken’ and appreciated our quick service. We understand your concern about pricing — being in the heart of Times Square comes with higher operating costs — but we work hard to deliver quality, flavorful vegan meals that make it worthwhile. We appreciate your support and hope to serve you again.
