"Foodswings, a former vegan junk food restaurant in Williamsburg, New York City, known for its tofu Buffalo wings, represented a roguish strain of vegan restaurant cooking that has become harder to find in recent years. It closed in 2014." - Mayukh Sen

This is vegan fast food at it's finest. Don't let the word vegan fool you. This stuff is still probably just as bad for you as regular fast food. But, if you're vegan or just love vegan food (like me!), it's definitely worth checking out. I also can't have milk, so the vegan cookie dough milkshake was a pleasant surprise on the menu. It was thick and as close to the real thing as you can get for dairy-free. I also ordered the vegan cheese fries which were nothing to rave about, but I'd order them again. I love soy hot dogs and they do a mean chili dog! Vegan drumsticks freak me out, but my friend ordered the BBQ ones and loved them.

Fast food for vegans... so vegan hot dogs and vegans chicken drumsticks! Depending on how you feel about meat substitutes, this is either wonderful or weird. I found it a little of both – although they tasted great, I just couldn't get my head around the chicken drumsticks especially with their fake bones!

When you're looking for fast/delicious vegan food in Williamsburg, this has to be the top choice. It seems like most restaurants are trending towards including bacon in EVERYTHING, whereas at Food Swings, you can get some delicious burgers, fries, etc. without harming little (or big) fuzzy creatures. Delivery is also pretty fast!

If you're looking for greasy and cheezy, fast, fat-filled foods, it's Foodswings! They have a wide selection of burgers, fries, and MILKSHAKES. That bring all the vegan boys to the yard. If I could have a milkshake every day, I would probably get diabetes, but I would also be transported to another world of vegan ecstasy! And I would go to Foodswings. I recommend going during the day, since portions at night are much, much smaller (they use disposable dishware). Good, order fries covered in cheese and gravy and whatever else your heart desires!

I've been told to go here for years and finally someone dragged me here after I told them I had never been. I don't know what I was holding out for, because this place is amazing. The food is great, the service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Most people hear "vegan restaurant" and think that scene in Grandma's Boy with David Spade. This place is complete opposite. Imagine football party foods, but not going to give you the heart attack (even though there is a "heart attack burger", it won't give you the agita of a real meat and cheese version of said burger). I don't venture off to Brooklyn a lot, but I have a feeling I will be making excuses to head there just to eat at Foodswings. Just gotta make sure to take out some cash before I head there, since it's cash only. Oh, and one last thing. Their shakes? So good they make you wanna smack somebody.

Having had a firm recommendation from a meat-eating American, there was a lot of hype to live up to. Foodswings delivered with buffalo 'chicken' wings - great sauce, chilli dogs, and fantastic philly cheese steak. Also definitely try the shakes - thick and flavoursome!

My vegan friends love this place, but I wasn't impressed. Mine was just greasy and gross. If I wanted greasy vegetarian food, my favorites were Curly's and Kate's Joint, both of which are sadly now gone :(

The most interesting vegan food out there. It's nice to finally have a vegan place that isn't trying to pass itself off as healthy. Good ole' american fried fast food, just not full of dead animals.
