★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1So grateful I found this place on FACEBOOK! They are a new vegan spot black owned and absolutely DELICIOUS! We ordered the oxtail dinner, chop cheese, breakfast sandwich and the Rasta pasta ALL EQUALLY DELICIOUS!!! Customer service was on point. I’m a forever customer! This is not a dine in spot so be prepared to eat in your car like I’m doing as I write this review!!! Good Lawd this place is great!!! The tacos are OUTSTANDING!!!
October 01 · Tarey E BeckwithMy first experience and I will be back. I have to try the Mac & Cheese because when I ordered it, it just sold out.
December 08 · KishSo far I’ve had the ox tails with Mac & Cheese and the ziti meal. Wow, this is a five star place. My Take Out is always ready for pick on time, and still warm when get home. I have a new Friday location. I highly recommend you give them a try.
October 07 · Deron PritchettVery disappointed. The food is very expensive and terrible! My family and I were in the area and as usual did a search for vegan food--we were pleasantly surprised to see this pop up so immediately headed over there. Once we got there we were told that we'd have to wait in our cars--this was a 'take-out' only restaurant--which means you take your chances--not seeing the food by ordering off of a menu. We order 4 items: Rasta Pasta (which was ok--small portion), vegan oxtail platter (which was very expensive and not good at all)- the rice and peas tasted boxed or prepackaged and the protein used for the oxtail tasted like beyond or impossible- also it was cold when I got it. Vegan philly cheese steak (was awful--not sure what kind of protein was used but whatever it was it did not belong on in the sandwich as a mock meat (which are supposed to mimic the meat--this was a far cry from it). The birria tacos were okay--served were rice that was boxed. Honestly--unless you are getting the food for free from this place--I wouldn't waste the gas, time or money to eat from here.
November 20 · Juliene Bell-SmithNever a vegan was thinking time to get healthy !!!! Found Shift on Facebook decided to give it a try the Chopped Cheese & Fries Absolutely Amazing !!!!!!
