What our guests are saying
Awesome staff, very friendly and considerate. The food was good and my sister who usually doesn’t like Mac and cheese loved it. Got the decimator chickun sandwich, not that spicy but good flavor. Mac and cheese as stated before is heavenly and a 10/10. Fries are awesome and we definitely will be going back soon.

Best of the best. I've been to this place multiple times now... Every time, everything I've ordered has been incredible. Vegans and non-vegans alike have had amazing food here. If you haven't been here or you're considering somewhere else, you're SERIOUSLY missing out. 12/10. Photos from my recent visit during a pizza special they had going. Also worth noting: the staff are always fantastic!

✨ WOW! Just WOW! ✨ After traveling thru the area, & Not Ya Mamas came up as an all vegan spot in my research. I wasn’t sure what to expect but we stopped in hungry & was blown away!!! Amazing quality vegan comfort food awaited our hungry vegan stomachs after a long day of travel. The vegan crispy chicken sandwich with bacon was BOMB. The staff was super chill & friendly.
