Nashville’s Best Restaurants for Vegetarians and Vegans | Eater Nashville
"Bettina Thomas opened this North Nashville restaurant in 2018 serving exclusively vegan and gluten-free versions of soul food like Nashville hot chicken, lasagna, burgers, mac and cheese, and Philly cheese sandwiches. Don’t forget to add an order of the dairy-free cheesecake here for dessert. You can also find a second Vegelicious location in Antioch." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

While I was in Nashville I decided to try this #BlackOwned Vegan Gem! Vegelicious has been a vegan staple in the community for over 20+ years!
I ordered the Soul Food Plate which came with Succulent vegan macaroni and cheese, barbecue chick'n, collard greens and a roll! I also got the Ginger Beer as well! I tore this plate all the way up! it was soooo flavorful and delicious!! 😋🤤🌱The staff was so friendly and welcoming! I will definitely come back when I go back to Nashville for sure!! 💯🔥🔥

If you want to try Nashville hot chicken but are vegetarian/vegan, this is the place! Yams and pineapple cake that followed were absolutely delicious too. Very happy to support this business :)

Had the soul food plate and it was so delicious! Great to have healthier, super tasty food after watching my friends eat BBQ. 😝 one of my friends ordered a side of the yams and said they were the best she’s ever had. Came back for the hot chicken sandwich next day! Weather was perfect for sitting outside at the picnic tables under the tent. Thanks for the good food!

I was confused on how to get in and it was hard to spot. Great customer service. I ordered the soulfood plate and lasagna with a side of dressing. My total was about $50. The food did t agree with my taste buds. The yams and dinner roll were the two best things. The greens and chicken had a strong vinegar taste. The macaroni tasted like throw up. The dressing was decent but lacked seasoning/flavor.

Coming from Alabama, this was definitely a delicious treat. Got the Hot chikn soul food plate. I’d rate the collard greens a 5. Chikn a 4 and Mac n cheese a 4. Haven’t come across too many soul food spots that are vegan. If you’re ever in Nashville they’re definitely worth the experience, service was fast and hostess was friendly.

Had the Southern Fried Chik platter at Vege-Licious and wow this place goes hard! The spicy chik was crispy perfection, and the sides (greens, yams, mac and cheese, and a roll) were absolutely soul-warming. The vibe inside is wild in the best way. Definitely a must-try in Nashville!

Best vegan food in Nashville. All of it is so good. Had the Philly cheese steak with fries, greens, and mac. So good made me wanna smack my mama. Wife had the hot chick plate with yams and the yams were some of the best I've had.

I will definitely be back when I revisit Nashville. I ordered the Soul Food Plate; everything was delicious. My favorite was the succulent mac and cheese. The customer service was amazing too! I can't wait to see the expansion of a larger dining area!!!
