WOW. :-O
Just WOW!! :-O
I am nearly SPEECHLESS at HOW UTTERLY AMAZING Guud & Evul was!!
But what good would a speechless review do anyone here at Yelp??--so let me tell you ALL ABOUT HOW GUUD IT WAS!! :-D
I am a vegetarian, and my brother got me a Guud & Evul gift certificate for my last birthday in June. Life is crazy busy with a demanding job and two teens, but I FINALLY made it in with my husband as part of our anniversary stay'cation weekend in January ...
AND OH BOY, AM I GLAD I DID!! And I'm so happy I got to experience Guud & Evul with my sweet hubbs of fourteen years, too--two of my favorite things together, Guud food and my Guud guy!! :-D
But I digress, back to the food ... Guud & Evul has an all-vegan menu that goes well above and beyond being just good. It is decadent indulgence grilled and fried junk food all-turned-vegan in really inventive ways. The menu has a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and other options that have all been creatively vegan'ized in beyond-guud ways to delight both vegans and non-vegans alike!!
My husband had the Guud & Evul Plate, which is their version of a garbage plate. As a born-and-raised Rochester boy, he was IMPRESSED!! It was a big portion of fries and rice topped with a vegan burger, vegan hot dog, vegan meat sauce, and vegan ranch. He also had a side of homemade Hell Sauce to try, which was HOT but very flavorful. He really enjoyed his dish!
As for me, I went with a double order of This Ain't Chicken Strips so I could share with the hubbs. They were battered deep-fried chicken'esque strips made out of meaty mushrooms. I opted for half medium, half loganberry, and they came with fries and a generous portion of vegan blue cheese.
The verdict?? ... HOLY COW, WOW!! (But no cow here, haha!!) These strips were CRAZY GUUD. The mushrooms were thick and meaty, and seemed pre-treated in some way to give them a smoky, meaty flavor that complemented the crispy batter and each delicious sauce so nicely. The blue cheese was really delicious, too! And a double order was a BIG portion, definitely more than enough to share! I was not leaving there without eating it all, such a noteworthy scrumptious vegan meal indeed!
We were TOTALLY STUFFED AND BEYOND SATISFIED, but still on a special occasion getaway, so of course we had to force-feed ourselves some dessert while here, ha!! We ordered two Crack Rolls, once peach and one apple, which are like sweet egg rolls stuffed with pie filling and drizzled with homemade vegan icing. I thought we'd go half'sies and cut each in half to share, but when we opened the boxes, each portion contained two rolls, very generous! They were delicious deep-friend hand-held pies drizzled in creamy sweet icing that more than satisfied our sweet teeth.
The Guud & Evul restaurant space itself is small, but clean, bright, and comfortable. Ordering is counter ordering, and you grab your food from the counter when it is ready, which didn't take long. Cash and all major cards are accepted. There are maybe six or eight tables for dine-in, mostly two-tops, with big front windows that make the space light and inviting.
The kind young woman who took our order was far from Evul, she was very friendly and patient with all of our questions and indecision, haha. She actually recommended the loganberry sauce for my strips when I was unsure on all of the options, which was a great recommendation! It is definitely service with a guud and friendly smile here!
If I could give Guud & Evul twenty stars, I would!! :-O It is definitely rich, indulgent, and decadent, so not someplace I can frequent as often as I may like, as carbs and sugar are no longer my friend is my progressing years, haha. But for any special occasion where splurging is involved, Guud & Evul will be towards the top of my list!! If you are vegan, vegetarian, omni, carnivore, any and all of the above will appreciate the delightful and delicious dining coming out of the Guud & Evul kitchen, where everything is definitely better than GUUD!! :-D read more
