    This was my second time trying vegan and i love this place. I ordered B.A.D vegan burger and i could tell the differences. The burger was delicious and flavorful. I orders the nachos also. The nachos was the best ive ever had. Lastly, i ordered French fries and a glass of South African wine. I’m definitely going back next weekend with my family to try TLC Vegan . Thank you !

    I am not a vegan but I definitely love this place. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. My first visit i had a pulled pork sandwich that if I didn't know I thought it would have contained meat. My second visit was of Nashville hot sandwich again. It was delicious. It had fried mushrooms that just tasted crate and had a wonderful texture. I would highly recommend this to any vegan and non-vegan diners. Go give it a try! You will not be disappointed.

    This was not only a peaceful and safe feeling environment, but also very inviting with very delightful food! We picked up the chefs' cook book and were deciding whether or not to buy it and we're actually told the chef would sign it which we thought was pretty awesome. We ended up purchasing that as well as an app, 2 entrees, 3 desserts, a couple of drinks and were surprised with a bill was still respectfully priced! The cherry on top and affordable healthy meal, felt great to help out a smaller business with ethical food!

    The food was truly outstanding. Chef Troy (I believe that's his name) does a great job at making the food tasty and beautifully presented. I've eaten at this restaurant at least 5 times in the last 6 months and it just keeps getting better and better. The staff is friendly and helpful. The space is cozy and intimate while the ambiance is relaxing. I love just being there. I've enjoyed conversations with other dinners and even met new friends and we plan to dine together in the future. The desserts are heavenly!

    This is my favorite vegan joint and even my carnivore husband loves it! The vast southern style menu will blow your mind, and everything I've had here is so scrumptious! The service is always above and beyond - friendly, attentive, warm! I come back again and again! Try the Frito pie if you want to relive your childhood!

    The food was great! However, due to short staffing it seemed everyone around us had their food before we did. Our server barely checked on us when we wanted more wine so we didn’t order any more. The other servers were nice overall and helpful but ours was probably too in the weeds. But it really brought down our experience during the Beet Tasting. I will be back because the food was worth it. But the wait for our food was very disappointing.

    Loved the special Mother's Day menu. This is the second special occasion meal I have booked with TLC. The food is fantastic. The servers are working their tails off. But the timing is a little off. We had to wait 30 minutes for our seating. Our server was already harried and didn't get water on the table. While the food at our table came out at the same time on this visit, I noticed diners at other tables were not being served at the same time. I need to check out the restaurant during a "normal" service to see if it's just the big dining experience or if the kitchen is still experiencing growing pains. Overall, the food is fantastic and if you eat vegan or are vegan-curious, this is the place to be!

    Amazing as always. Chef Troy is incredibly talented, I wish we had the opportunity to thank him and give him an applause. His dishes that are non imitation vegan dishes are the BEST like the Hen of Woods plate- sooooo delicious! The combination of the flavors were outstanding!!! We also ordered the chicken and waffles- delicious! His hands are genuinely a gift from the Mother Earth- just impeccable, he’s an artist! Leah had the best energy, very sweet and polite and accommodating. The other staff is also friendly and patient and must be fed very well because they clearly love their job! One young lady with blonde hair offered to take a photo of my mom and I even though they were quickly trying to prep for the next group of people. This was very kind because even though the restaurant needed to clear out the tables and prepare for the next round of people, she still was sensitive to the fact this is a holiday celebration and we wanted to capture the moment. I loved celebrating Mother’s Day with other local vegans, my mom and I had a BLAST and loved everything ESPECIALLY the agave butter and cornbread- my god please offer that year around. I need that at every thanksgiving 😭 Thank you TLC for being one of the BEST vegan restaurants around, Chef Troy please never move from Dallas

    Tho sitting was very uncomfortable, booths where really high. The place was loud, service was slow. The food wasn’t that good, the cheesy items weren’t very cheesy, bread was dry and hard for the burgers. The fries where bland and the desserts where mediocre.

    I love this restaurant. The food is made with such careful thought and consideration. My only advice to the people at TLC would be to pull the shades down when too much bright sun hits clients up front. Otherwise, this is my favorite new restaurant in Dallas.

    We were very impressed with the improvements since the first few months they opened in Richardson. The food came out relatively quick. I ordered pizza and brussel sprouts and my husband had a burrito. There are no refills on the freshly made lemonade but I understand. It’s still $5 a glass. We arrived at 8p and were out by 8:56p. We will return!!!

    Our server was amazing! The pure joy he emanated when he explained the Impossible meat was gluten free, so I could try it, honestly made the experience even better. I could tell he was excited about the food and loves his job. This was a great segue to when we actually received the food - it was plated by an absolute artist, and the chicken fried steak made me melt. Everything was delicious and the service/ambiance was fantastic. Truly a great experience.

    The food was incredibly fresh and delish! Very attentive, cool servers and staff. We started off with the crunchy Brussels sprouts…slightly over-charred but only bc I enjoy the natural flavor. Next, I had the lasagne with fried oyster mushrooms and it was off the chain! Very filling and amazing flavor. Finished with their decadent buttery cream cake. I highly recommend this spot!
