A hidden gem. Native foods might just be the sleeper best American Fusion restaurant in the Denver area. Food is consistently great and I have never ordered anything here I didn't wholeheartedly enjoy. They have a nice sized varied menu with plenty of options. Staff is seasoned and knows their stuff. Owner is super cool and easy to talk to. Restaurant is pretty relaxed -- order at the front and they bring the food out to you. It is clean and spacious. I really like how I've never had to wait for a table. Wife is in love with a dish called the munchwrap supreme which is like a five star version of what Taco Bell's Crunchwrap shoots for. Very good. My personal fave is the down the hatch burrito. It's delicious and filling. Their dessert options always hit the spot. read more

Cute and very clean! I am not vegan, and I didn't know what to order. So I think I ordered a super bland typical dish. It was fine but not very flavorful. I think if I had been more adventurous I would've had a better dish. I think I was hoping the teriyaki and pineapple would've been more prominent BUDDHA BOWL (GF] teriyaki sweet potatoes, avocado, pineapple, roasted almond slices, roasted corn, dalkon sprouts, green onion, sesame seeds, Jasmine rice read more

Everytime I go here the food tastes slightly worse, this time the food was far too salty. Woke up the next morning parched. Normally when I think of vegetarian I think healthy but this place is getting away from its core principle. I don't think I will be going back. read more

Banh mi bowl rocks. Well fried and crispy. Not all the sides went well together but I'm not complaining. Kombucha options are a nice touch

Great food. Simple, cafeteria style. Nice to have a 100% plant based restaurant that serves classics and originals. You can tell that the preparation, presentation, and flavors are obviously a top priority. read more

First time, tried this restaurant because it was across from the hotel I was staying. Fully vegan loved the cauliflower Shawarma bowl. It was enough for two people to share and eat, if you're a person who eats small portion. The quinoa was cooked perfectly.Friendly staff and a complete plant based options. Fries were okay not up-to my expectations. read more

I am beyond pleased that this location is now family owned! I feel like they brought native foods back to its roots! The menu has some of the ORIGINAL classics that I haven't seen in years and the food has soul. So many locations closed when it became more corporate and the owner had brought back the native foods that I fell in love with. The staff is so nice and helpful. The food is 10/10 no complaints. I love this restaurant and am very loyal. I hope this location as the last location thrives and has an amazing future. If you're in Glendale please go and support locally owned vegan restaurants! read more

Ordered the basic burger on a gluten free bun and it was SO good! Jay, who was working the register, was very friendly and helpful and whoever was cooking is amazing. Basic burger...not basic flavor, YUM! read more

The Chicken Bacon Avo club sandwich is a legendary legend that still makes me wanna marry it after that first bite. The Maple Chipotle Chili soup is a new BFF that gets all the high-fives. YUM! YUM! This joint is sparkling clean and the staff are so friendly they'll make you wanna adopt them. The Winter menu is making my eyeballs drool. My go-to Vegan spot. I'm so grateful! read more

Delicious! We've been here a few times now, and everything we've tried has been absolutely delicious. My favorite is the bacon, avo chicken club. My husband loves the munch wrap supreme. If you're vegan, vegetarian, or just love good food, you HAVE to try this place! read more

I really love this place! I lovedddd their summer chicken pesto sandwich!! I couldn't stop getting it!! Absolutely amazing vegan place!! And definitely top vegan place I've been to in the Denver area for me! Recently moved to Denver and I haven't found an overwhelming amount of good vegan food, but this place stands out to me completely! will keep coming back and I recommend it to anyone I meet who's plant based in any way! My boyfriend is vegetarian and loves it as well!! The gluten free bun is fantastic too! read more

I want to love this place more, but I struggle after my second visit. I love a vegan small business, making impact for our environment and our health. But that also raises the bar on quality of ingredients used... I had the Buddha Bowl. The sprouts were moldy. The avocado was covered in brown as if it's been sitting out for a while. The pineapple is definitely from a can. And probably the corn as well. I really wish the ingredients were fresher. This makes me hesitate to come back. Maybe a smaller menu would help keep things fresher. I don't know. I won't be back for a while after this visit. The staff are always kind and helpful. Clean up quickly and food comes out fast. Just wish the food quality was better. read more

I hate to write bad reviews but I have tried their food here several times, several items and it just isn't good. The first time I got a burger and maybe I shouldn't have jumped right in to the fake meat but thought I would give it a try and it was awful. I eventually have gone to salads and still not a fan. The azteca salad was served with a mango dressing that seemed like straight sugar. It was so sweet and way too thick. The potato salad was okay. I would say the best thing I have eaten there. I also don't like the fact that they have a Go Fund Me for keeping their restaurant open. Go Fund me pages should be for individuals struggling, not someone trying to run a restaurant. Overall, I am not fan. read more

I visited Native Foods for takeout this week and ordered a Twister Wrap with a side of Mac n Cheese. As a vegan/vegetarian for years I've had all kinds of plant based food good and bad. I had pretty high expectations as the food looked delicious and seemed to be similar to restaurants I've been too in CA with a similar concept and menu. The online ordering process was great, but my food still wasn't ready 10 mins after the pickup time. For $22 I expected a larger wrap with more than one "chicken" tender or two, but the wrap was small and lacked flavor. The Mac n Cheese I was excited for, but also lacked real flavor and tasted like a very processed thin barely-even-cheese flavored sauce. It was fine to visit once, but I don't think I would go again. read more

Always a great meal; well prepared and presented; very good service; and, a good price for a good quantity of quality food.

Meh! I really want to support a vegan/vegetarian restaurant as they're all closing but they're making it hard. It's a ways away from me so I've only been twice. Both times the people working the counter just seem really unhappy to take orders. Not just me as I sat and ate it was in general. First time, I had the Reuben it was eh... ok. Decent enough to go back again. Second time, I had the Baja tacos and they were pathetic! 98% cabbage. No flavor whatsoever! Like put some basic seasoning, lime or SOMETHING on it!! Smallest slice of Tempeh and a polka dot of sauce on each taco. The watermelon Agua Fresca was a 10/10. I personally don't think I'll return, sadly. Given the below par customer service and lack of flavor. read more

Love Native Foods dishes and desserts. Their specials are always delicious as well. We like to get chicken tenders with buffalo sauce to start. I have gotten the Almost Famous Bowl and the Gyro Bowl and loved both of them. The Chicken Run Ranch sandwich is a favorite we have been getting for years. My partner loves the jalapeño popper burger. Their dessert parfaits and oatmeal cream pies are outstanding, we can't leave the place without one of them at least. Lots of love for this vegan restaurant. I hope it sticks around for a long long time. *heart* read more

We ordered a whole table of food and everything was delicious but this was phenomenal!! The cream reminded me of a buttermilk cream that wasn't too sweet, and the cookie was crunchy around the edges but softer in the middle. Perfect dessert to finish up with!! read more

Those sweet potato fries, though! If you're looking for low carb, whole grain vegan food, look no further. We had the Twister Wrap and the Orange Cauliflower Bowl yesterday -- absolute yumminess. The Twister Wrap is a low-carb option for those of you who care, but it's the most flavorful crispy "chicken" wrap I've had in a while. You get all the textures, which makes this handheld food perfect. (You get the option of grilled or buffalo style as well.) I highly recommend the chipotle sauce option! The wrap comes with a side, and of course I chose sweet potato fries (see my note below). The Orange Cauliflower Bowl looks like real orange chicken and the mix of corn, brown rice, scramble was just the perfect mix. The knowledgeable ladies who took our orders were super accommodating and just very cool about our requests. Our food was executed perfectly. Portion-wise, were both noticing that it was just the right amount. Bonus, which gave this place a 5 stars right away was their decaf and no-sugar iced tea option: hibiscus tea. Hoping their dessert parfaits options will come sugar free some day, or at least low sugar, because I want to destroy those in the best way possible. Also, hat tip to our Uber driver who recommended the sweet potato fries (LOL). They were crispy on the outside and soft in the center. That salt, pepper, herb and cinnamon (?) sprinkle over the fries was just... wow. I'm going to try to recreate it at home because I can't stop thinking about it. Came here for dinner yesterday on a windy evening in Denver! Got specific here as I heard they're planning to expand elsewhere, so I hope they come to L.A.! read more

So happy they finally got good fries! The garlic parm fries at 10/10! Everything else was delicious!

Fresh healthful casual vegan. Place your order at the counter and choose a table. A few of their locations have closed recently, so a few menu items aren't available. This makes me worry that Native Foods may have trouble staying open. I would hate to lose them: great location, excellent food and very fair prices. read more

Recipe for disaster! While the food items are still very good, the new owner is all about himself and his ego is bigger than the size of the restaurant itself! He doesn't care to get to know long time customers who have supported this location since it opened including all the other locations that have now closed. Advice to the new owner, set your huge EGO aside and take the time to talk and get to know your customers. Unfortunately, I will not be back. read more

Fast, tasty, healthy. Need I say more? Ahhh, Yelp insists that I expand on that. Well, sometimes I like to eat vegetarian meals. You know - they help keep the weight off and a good mix of vegetables is good for you. So, without knowing anything about this place, other than that I found it on Yelp, and it was on the way home - i figured I'd try it. No regrets. I emptied the plate quickly and it was very good. Funny thing- I'd driven by the place fifty times, but something about the name made me think it was spicy southwest food, so I never went in. Glad I finally did! read more

JUST TRY IT!!! I've ate here twice now and loved every bit of it. Half my family is vegan, I'm not, so I do try a lot of vegan places out. This place, by far, is my favorite when it comes to doing dishes that everyone in the family, kids included, will love. Tonight, I got the Almost Famous Bowl - mashed potatoes with "chicken", cheese, corn, gravy and green onions. YUM! Their portions are great as well so you won't leave here still feeling hungry. read more

I was a vegetarian through college and into my 20s and used to eat at the location that was in the Pavilions on 16th street mall all the time. I no longer am a vegetarian but go through phases where I just don't feel like eating animal protein and for that reason I am so happy that there's at least one Native Foods still in my area. The beautiful thing about Native Foods is that they make vegan food even meat eaters would enjoy. A lot of the things Native Foods has always been known for is still around: the lavender lemonade, the Reuben (it is SO freaking good), the oatmeal crème pie and peanut butter parfait...and they have some newer menu items that are great too. The Meatball Sub is fantastic and is comforting and full of umami but doesn't feel too heavy and isn't greasy at all. Definitely worth a visit! read more

What happened to this location? Is there a new franchise owner? Went in tonight for dinner and noticed they painted over the elephant mural My side salad was served in a dirty bowl, the tables were sticky, bus bin overflowing with dirty dishes, lukewarm and flavorless food and melted ice for drinks. FYI, they are now using Morningstar Farms for several chicken items. I loved when they were doing their own proteins! Eek. Will make the Lonetree location my primary location going forward. read more

I was traveling for work and needed a bite to eat after getting in late from a flight. I was looking for something not too heavy/nauseating, and Native Foods answered the call! The food was healthy, fresh, and extremely reasonably priced (although this is coming from someone from the DC area). 4 stars just because I can't speak to the atmosphere or staff, but otherwise the food and value get two thumbs up from me! read more

This was one of the worst meals I have had lately. Sticky tables. Not impressed by counter staff. My Buddha plate arrived with a stink- the smell that your vegetable drawer gets when something has gone bad. The micro greens were rotten. Had to pull those off the plate right away. Pineapple - was diced pieces of the core! Avocado- stinky and past it's prime. Diced sweet potato was neither hot nor cold - that bad lukewarm temp. Teriyaki sauce on it was straight out of a jar. Chopped scallions looked like they were chopped yesterday. A few slivered almonds tossed on plate too. Got a side on MX corn. Was 100% previously frozen corn. Gloppy mess. Chips stale. I live vegan places. This place misses the mark completely. My photos make the meal look far more appealing than it was. As I sit here and look around, the place is either starting to gear up for a remodel or maybe go out of business. I'm super disappointed. read more

Stopped in the other day for lunch (1/4/2024) and everything was phenomenal. The gentleman taking my order told me they recently started making their own seitan (and most other ingredients) fully in house from scratch, and it showed!!! Got the Reuben and an oatmeal cream pie and both were well put together and incredibly flavorful. Seems like this location has made some great improvements to their overall delivery (not that it was bad prior), so give it a try!! read more

We have eaten here many times and always enjoy their delicious entries. My favorite is the Twister Wrap and the Crunch Wrap. They come with fries and both are awesome!

If you haven't tried this restaurant I definitely recommend you do! read more

WOW the hype is real, friends!! I ordered the Nashville & Chicken Run - the Nashville is everything I wanted and more, took me straight to flavortown. So crispy and crunchy and omggg so good. Bae ordered the Chicken Run & it was fine, but we both knew the winner was the Nashville. We also ordered lavender lemonades, which are fiiiiiree. Mm so good. The wings & fries I'm saving for the air fryer when we get home to reheat- we ordered takeout and wolfed the rest down in the parking lot. 12/10 recommend, I can't wait to take friends here. read more
