On my recent visit to New Orleans I discovered this restaurant on the 1st day. OMG, the mushroom p'boy was absolutely delicious. My cousin had the burger . She's not vegan and enjoyed it. I tasted the okra and it was delicious. Ironically, the vegan food tour had a stop here. We tasted the fried eggplant and the sausage Poboy. Our last night there we had to return because my cousin wanted the fried okra. Unfortunately, they had ran out of okra. My cousin and I ordered mushroom Poboys and fries. It was a Sunday evening and busy. The service is slow. So bring your patience. The food is worth the wait. read more

As someone who loves discovering great local food, I was genuinely excited to try this place after reading the menu. Unfortunately, while the food delivered, the overall experience was disappointing and honestly overshadowed what could have been a great meal. When we walked in, there was no one at the counter -- just one man sitting at a table who later appeared to be friends with one of the employees. Two employees wandered in shortly after, and from the beginning the energy felt strange and unprofessional. After interacting with them, I truly got the impression they were high. We didn't feel welcomed or valued as customers at all. The restaurant itself also looked neglected. The tables were sticky, every napkin dispenser was empty, and the hot sauce bottles on the tables were nearly drained. Small details matter, especially in a city known for incredible food and hospitality, and this place seemed completely uninterested in maintaining either. What makes this even more frustrating is that the food was genuinely excellent. The hot sausage po'boy was packed with flavor, and the fried okra was some of the best I've had. There's clearly talent in the kitchen, which makes the lack of care everywhere else even more disappointing. Given the positive reviews, maybe we caught them on a bad day -- but based on this visit, I left wishing the experience matched the quality of the food. read more

2 Phat Vegans - Please pay attention to me; I feel empty inside! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Solid 4 star hole in the wall (we like hole in the wall restaurants!) place with personable staff and very good plant based food. We had the meatball and mushroom subs (ok, po boys). with a side of fries. All was enjoyed. There was a steady stream of customers while we were there and it took a while to get the food, understood. What could be improved is the wait between the two subs, would be nice if they could be prepared concurrently. Won't keep us from coming back to explore other menu options. One side note. The meatball sub is prepared with fresh tomatoes, lettuce etc. which I was very surprised to see... so if you are hard put to get it made the way you have it in New York/Jersey/philly or wherever you'll need to ask. It was fine, absolutely nothing wrong with it. Eat here! read more

This is the best vegan spot in Nola and it's open until one am a great quick stop before heading back to Detroit and a must stop by place whenever I'm in NOLA read more

Small spot not far from the French quarters. I loved the vibe, it was very culturally nostalgic. They had old school music videos playing which was cute. The service was great. Very friendly and the food was tasty. They ran out of fries right after my order so I got lucky! I met the owner and he was super helpful as well. read more

2 Phat Vegans - Vegan Fish Sandwich and fries - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

O. M. G. The absolute best po-boys we had anywhere in NO for the whole of our stay there. Every single one we tried was incredible. Like, man, do they know how to deep fry. Also the best fried okra we had. With fried food, it often gets less appealing the longer it sits - but these were amazing first bite to last. I also appreciated that they had a clean bathroom for customers. Overall, one of our absolute favorite places to eat. read more

I'll get to the point and say that was the best Po'boy I've tried, vegan or otherwise. The mushrooms were breaded, fried, and so crisp. They have an option with plant sausage as well. I ordered a portion of gumbo to take away for later on, and that was a hit. The spices were incredible and I was happy with the portion sizes. It's a small restaurant, but fun inside, not to mention Air Conditioned! Right across the street from the French Market district, which is worth checking out. I really love that you can find vegan versions of popular new orleans dishes here, being able to enjoy the culture to the fullest. read more

I wasn't a fan of the jerk wrap (loved how spicy it was though) but the Po boy was really good--what the chef/owner recommended. I was jealous because I ordered the wrap and the person I was with got the Po boy. The owner was super sweet and the service was great. Would definitely come back if I go back to NO. read more

The food is decent for fast food vegan option. The service was speedy and a few recommendations were made by the staff. Very little seating though. The place was aesthetically pleasing to the eye with posters of legendary hip hop artists and local art as well. If you're looking for a bite to eat quickly I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Worst meal ever. There were 3 guys working yesterday and the food came out super slow. Like 10 minutes between our two sandwiches kind of slow. But the worst part is the people working there don't even know their own menu. They made a meatball sub with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickles (plus the only ingredients listed in the description - meatballs, red sauce and cheese). It was disgusting! When we asked them about it, they were so out of it that they didn't get what was wrong with the sandwich. DO NOT EAT HERE. I've heard Palm and Pine and Sneaky Pickle are great options. read more

Omg, I loved this place! Food was so so good and it was so nice to have such delicious vegetarian options. The eggplant fries are a massive portion so perfect for sharing and I really really enjoyed the mushroom po boy! I highly recommend this place for all vegans and vegetarians especially! read more

Cannot recommend this place enough. Gigantic portions to the point where I did finish my Po-boy but the okra was too much for me and my wife to finish. For $5 it was enough to feed at least 4 people in my opinion. The sandwich was enormous, my wife loved her burger and I am so glad we made this our last big meal in New Orleans. Eat and support local! read more

I watched Bing's YouTube video on why he made his 2 Phat Vegans vision happen, and had to try this place while visiting NOLA. The location was off the French Market. I loved the hip hop and vegan decor but unfortunately, the service was lacking. It felt a little "sticky" and unclean inside. The music was very loud which I don't usually mind too much, but it was loud enough to make it hard to communicate. It smelled LOUD in there so if you have kids or that's not your thing, this might not be the spot for you. The two young men working were on the phone most of the time, not welcoming, and kind of rude to me and another customer. A couple other people came in that they were much friendlier to but they seemed to be regulars or friends. On to the food! The mushroom po boy was thick and flavorful. I ordered the fried okra which was the best I've ever had and ended up putting the okra on my French bread instead, the mushrooms were too rubbery for my liking. The orange house dipping sauce was incredible! The gumbo was decent but tasted like the rice was either not washed before cooking, or boiled in old water. All in all, due to the lack of vegan options around, this place did the job. And I'd go back for the fried okra any day. I hope that Mr. Mathis gets some people working in there that care and share his vision as much as him. He seems like a sweet soul trying to help the community heal through delicious vegan food. I say if you're on the fence about trying 2 Phat Vegans, just go and get something to support Bing's hard work. read more

Being a vegetarian in New Orleans can be rough. We were so excited to find a vegan restaurant and eat some hearty food. From the moment we arrived the service was incredible. The food was even more amazing than we could've hoped for. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone (even meat eaters) this place is delicious! read more

Hi! I don't know how the food at this location is because (waves hands dramatically) although OPEN, and it was after 11am, they were not serving food? I trucked it from Canal St. with my vegan bestie for a vegan treat but, nope. The kind gentleman working said it was completely the owners fault, as there was inventory to do and they wouldn't serve food until later. We had planes to catch so we left but get it together. Employees should never be left to hand out bad news rather than good food. read more

Disorganized. Sandwich came before the fries. The fries never even came and I left. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen.

I loved the vegan pizza I got here. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu. I also really loved the hip hop and punk energy of the space. I'd go here every day if I could! read more

So happy to add this new vegan spot to the French Quarter. Lots of wonderful options to choose from and non-vegans won't be disappointed in trying what they have to offer either. The hot sausage poboy dressed similar to a Big Mac. I will say it's not super fast but you can order online or via the phone in advance if you want things to go. read more

I've been to vegan restaurants from San Francisco to Atlanta to Manhattan to Chicago and I can confidently say that 2 Phat Vegans might very well be one of the top 3 places in America. The sausage po'boy was absolutely fantastic and HUGE. We ate a vegan hoagie that was $16 at a different place 3 days ago that was very tasty but tiny, so seeing this foot-long French bread sandwich (for $16.50), we were blown away. It was amazing. After the rutabega fondue at Vedge in Philadelphia, this is very possibly the second best vegan food I've ever had. The fried okra for $5 was a great deal, too, and came with a great dipping sauce. The jerk chicken wrap, which was griddled like a burrito, was unreal and not for the faint of heart, spice-wise. It was right up there with the sausage po'boy in flavor and texture. This is a must-have when in New Orleans and worth traveling for. A++ stuff. read more

Such a cute little place, and their hot sausage po' boy was amazing. Service was friendly and leisurely. Here's the thing. I don't know what was going on in there, but after a few minutes sitting and waiting for our sandwich, both my partner's and my eyes started to sting and tear up. We opted for not eating there because we were in a bit of pain. I wonder if it's the spice that they use that is somehow in the air and getting into our eyes....because the same stinging we felt in our eyes (not so good) we felt in our mouths (very good) when we ate the po' boy. We apparently weren't the only ones. We ran into another customer outside who was also dabbing at her eyes with a tissue, and she said that she "needed to let [her] eyeballs breathe." LOL. The bathroom is single stalled and has really cute posters in it! read more

the best vegan burger I've ever had actually ! Delicious amazing iconic . Need more asap

This place is extremely ghetto and unprofessional. Before placing my order i asked how long would it take so i can better judge if i should stay here or go somewhere else. They insured me oh just 10mins just 2 orders in front . Okay fine i ordered 4 items. After 30mins they brought out my fries. I asked okay where's everything else. Oh it's coming we waiting for the cheese to melt, they brought out some nachos in 45 mins that were disgusting looked nothing like the images missing toppings cheese clumpy i was so disappointed. And the other 2 items i ordered i never received, after waiting there 1 hr they just gave me a refund. There's a group of young guys working there, and they were taking orders outside and elsewhere forgetting about people who were inside that placed their order it was completely ridiculous, they guy who ordered before me received his items piece by piece, every 15mins they brought out 1 single item it was a joke everybody here was so mad. I will never recommend anyone to come here. read more

Respectfully, I never leave a a review but if you're going to take an 1:06 (real time) and for everyone else's order- (for one a po'boy) -respectfully you could've just apologized or delivered it in a better way to the lady All love to the hustle but respectful service should always be an important part of any business in my opinion read more

Loud loud loud! Places definitely more of a grab and go. And to be honest food was a mixed bag. We tried a pizza and a sandwich which were both made fresh but did not really sit well with anyone. Won't return but wish them well. read more

We were really excited to try this place based off the reviews, but we were a little let down. We love vegan food and are so glad this is happening in New Orleans, but the vibe was really off at this spot. The cashier/server barely looked at or spoke to us, and then our food took 20 minutes to make. There were kids running around which is usually totally fine, but they were body slamming each other, screaming extremely loudly, and bumping into us at the table. It was also super super hot in the restaurant, and my po boy was not quite worth the price. Maybe they were having an off day, and we're rooting for 2 phat vegans! Maybe we'll circle back later down the line! read more

The vegan po'boy is phenomenal. The place is small, but really cute. With an artsy, jazzy vibe that fits the modern New Orleans. Watch out on busy weekends; they might run out of food! They had to close early because the Red Dress Run emptied the fridge! Not the worst problem to have! read more

Went to New Orleans for the weekend didn't get think I was going to find anything vegan down there looked on Yelp found 2 Phat vegan's and went and fell in love with it. I got the poboy ,chiefs kiss I tell ya!!! I got to sea-moss drinks and a lemonade one they had everything was fresh customer service was amazing too better than any other restaurant. The aesthetics was my type of style kool calm not to much definitely trying to book a trip just to go back and eat read more

Stumbled onto this place walking down Decatur, smaller space but still has a decent amount of indoor seating. The hot sausage po boy is my fav, very spicy and goood.

Walking in, you're immediately confronted by fantastic vibe of this place; it has board games, music videos, lovely art, and lots of photos. There was a bit of a wait to order as there was someone in line in front of us, and they seem to prefer taking one order at a time, but when they got to us, it was quick to order, and our food came out SUPER hot as soon as it was ready. We ordered the fried okra, spring rolls, and hot sausage poboy (no cheese). The fried okra and spring rolls came out PIPING hot. I've never had okra before, much less fried okra, and it was AMAZING. Flavorful, with a crunchy and well seasoned exterior, and they weren't slimy like their reputation would suggest. What a great first impression. On the other hand, I have spring rolls quite often, and these might've been the best I've had. The poboy was quite spicy, as advertised, and perhaps traditional, but really delicious nonetheless. As a vegetarian, I was grateful to get the opportunity to try one, and I'm really glad this was the poboy I had. If I could make one complaint, the napkin holder and condiments at most (if not all) tables needed refilling, but it was quite easy to ask for some. Thanks for the great bite! We will be returning. read more
