I'd give this place 100 stars if I could. Not only because the food is full of flavor & taste & the right texture, but because of the vibe, the customer service and the hospitality. If you want to try real healthy food that actually tastes great (not good but great) then go to Elevated Eats 916 to get your fix. I promise you that you will be coming back for more. read more

This place should be a foodies destination. No matter if you're a meat eater or a plant lover. I would give up my carnivorous ways if this place was more accessible to me. This is how vegan food should taste. The chef is doing the lord work through this amazing vegan sandwiches and avocado fries and mac and cheese which was tasteful even without dairy in it. The chef brings the food out quickly but keep In mind he makes it for Scratch. read more

Location - I drove by it a few times. Had to circle the block. So let me help you. It's inside the blue building "Tap Wine Lounge." Order on your phone using a QR code. Sides: Avocado Fries - Deep fried avocado slices. Guilty pleasure! Crispy tempera shell and a cool, buttery, silk inside. Recommended and a must order. Mains: Nashville Hot Lions Mane Burger - Deep fried crispy Lion's Mane mushroom dipped in their signature fire sauce and placed on a toasted pretzel bun. Topped with vegan cheddar cheese, creamy coleslaw, crisp pickles and red onions. Let's break this down to convert carnivores: The Star: "The Shredded Meat" Illusion Lion's Mane: This is the only mushroom that can truly mimic the long-fiber texture of poultry or pork. When deep-fried, the outside "tendrils" become impossibly crispy, while the inside stays juicy and shreddable. The Fire Sauce: By dipping the whole mushroom, you're ensuring that every cranny of that craggy surface is saturated with heat. It's a bold move that turns the mushroom into a "flavor sponge." The Foundation: The "Pretzel Punch" The pretzel bun is a total power move. It's got that salty, dense "chew" that actually stands up to the fire sauce and slaw without turning into a soggy mess. It's the only bread sturdy enough to match the meaty texture of a deep-fried Lion's Mane. The Verdict: "Nashville Hot" Goes Wild This isn't just a sandwich; it's a total flavor bomb. You've taken a high-end ingredient like Lion's Mane and given it the "street food" treatment, which is honestly where vegan food really shines. It's got that messy, "need-three-napkins" vibe that makes for a legendary burger. read more

Delicious vegan food located inside Tap Wine Lounge. My taste buds were singing. I was hungry after work with some time to kill before a showing at Dreamland Cinema, so I thought I would stop in here because it's close to the office and I remember the menu sounding quite delicious back in October for the Sac Vegan Chef Challenge. I love when that sounds good becomes that tastes even better than I imagined. Because wow. I ordered to go due to timing, but staying awhile would have been cool too. I felt very comfortable there in that classy wine bar space among twinkle lights and comfy bar seating. My bacon mushroom guacamole sliders were fantastic. The flavors complimented each other perfectly. Crispy vegan bacon (had to remind myself yeah this is vegan it's fine, bc I don't eat meat, but yeah it's close af), tangy guacamole, grilled mushrooms, fresh pretzel buns. Wow wow wow. There were three so I enjoyed two before my movie and one before making the journey home. I was thirsty so I also ordered the bottled hibiscus peach tea with sea moss, ginger root, and agave.... Also super tasty, refreshing, and hydrating. It won't be long before I come back to try something else because the folks here were very welcoming and the food was out of this world great. Nice to have another yummy vegan option near the office too. Ordering ahead of time online is easy too! read more

Had an delivery order last Friday: Avocado Fries very tasty & crunchy. Smack'n Mac had a great flavor. Both abit on the pricey size due to size of the two sides, but is expected due to pricing nowadays. Still totally worth the support. The Honey_ (Agave) & Garlic sandwich was good & tasty. I'm not vegan/vegetarian but overall will definitely order again. Encourage everyone to try. You won't be disappointed. read more

The Honey Agave sliders are TO. DIE. FOR. The only regret I have is not ordering the slider sampler so I could try all of them! We discovered this place by chance on a drive from Reno and it will forever be burned into my flavor memory! Don't sleep on the mac & cheese (absolutely delicious) and the avocado fries for a complete and truly perfect meal. Going to come back for the sampler next time we drive through town! read more

After seeing the segment on TV, I knew i had to try this place out. I brought a gift of grapefruit to break the ice. Chef CB was everything the TV segment showed. A true gentleman who loves his business. Hidden in a small wine bar this eatery is all that. I ordered takeout for my wife and I and was quite impressed. The flavors, portions and who has ever had heard of avocado fries ? All very tasty, and we're definitely coming back. Wine bar offered some of Dusty Baker's (Baker Family Wine) for sale. Enjoyed conversation with bartender while sipping a red wine, waiting for my order. read more

Every item on the menu is fantastic. Today, we tried the special Mane Attraction (Lions Mane) burger, the Slider Sampler, the fried avocado, and the antioxidant salad! His flavor profiles are on point, and every bite was a delicious treat! We are very, very pleased with the quality of the food and the service. The lovely bonus was the Vegan wines at the bar. Loved the 4 we tried. We will definitely be back very soon. read more

Finally got to try this hidden gem. Ordered the slider sampler and smackn mac. They were delicious and I can't decide which one I like best out of the three sliders.

Can't wait to go back. read more

I ordered the 10-piece sampler, and every bite was incredible. The honey garlic burger was the first one I tried (couldn't even wait until I got home), and it was packed with flavor. I brought the rest to a small gathering, and we ended up doing a taste test of each burger. Everyone loved them and started picking favorites. In all the excitement, I completely forgot to take photos, but trust me, the food speaks for itself. Everything was seasoned perfectly, the textures were on point, and you can tell it's made with care. Several of my friends are already planning to order soon, and I definitely will too. All compliments and respect to the chef. Seriously some of the best vegan food I've had in Sacramento! read more
