One of the best vegan/vegetarian restaurants I've ever been to, and definitely the top in Chicago. Everything I've had from here is amazing but the vegan gyro is on another level. Love the cocktails too. Have been here a few times already and will definitely come back often! Everyone is super friendly too. And the music is great!

I really enjoyed GROUND CONTROL! Everything I had a bite of was so satisfying. The asian bbq nugz were a perfect way to start the meal. They were crispy on the outside with a great texture on the inside. I also ordered the mushroom calamari and that was really to die for. The oyster mushrooms were PERFECTLY fried and I could have eaten a second plate. I had the bahn mi for my main dish and it was delicious. Everything came together with flavors and textures. I would absolutely order it again. I will recommend this place to friends both vegan and non-vegan and I hope to return soon.

Stumbled upon this neighborhood gem oh and btw it's vegetarian\vegan. Great service and fresh flavorful food. You definitely don't have to be vegan to enjoy. Nice cocktail selection as well.

This restaurant has great atmosphere, delicious food, and good service. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The music was great and it was lovely, but not loud. We had the vegan tacos, vegan burger, beer braised greens, and curry fritters. The curry fritters tasted like samosas, but better. Our server was very friendly and helpful but not overbearing. My husband is not vegetarian but he really liked his food. Great date night stop!

Very nice quaint place to go. Very unique. The food was okay but didn't enjoy their peanut sauce, but my fav were the garlic fries and tacos. Very good service overall and the food is pretty good.

My wonderful vegan daughter encouraged me to eat here. Wow. Simply DELICIOUS! I still don't like tofu. But this cheesy Italian sandwich taste better then a Chicago style Italian beef. Oh my goodness. The mushroom Po boy was great. Please get a side of mushrooms
They are so good. Logan... yes Mr. Logan was awesome. The food and music and vibes and on and on until the break of dawn was great. I'm not going vegan, but will return for sure. Thanks Mr. Logan again.

Oh Ground Control! you have spoiled us forever!
First the Buffalo Nugz and vegan ranch is perfect! The texture, the breading, the flavor, the heat were all perfect! I don't like ranch dressing at all, but this vegan take is absolute fire! (if you don't like dill you might not like it)
The Baja tacos were amazing, everything worked together but the star for us was the roasted seaweed!
Then there was the Blackened Tofu Poboy. Again the tofu was perfect and the mild spice paired perfectly with the corn, relish, and mayo! Also the garlic fries were amazing, I'm not sure how many cloves are sacrificed in the making of these but they are well worth every penny!
Cannot recommend Ground Control! enough (even if you are a meat eater)!

For such a casual spot, they put out really creative, flavorful vegan food. Everything we all had was delicious! Even my unsuspecting 11 yr old nephew liked his grilled cheese 😀 We started with the fried green tomatoes & curry fritters... great flavors....a lil tang & spice on the tomatoes, & not a dull fritter, perfectly seasoned with a mint cilantro chutney (though it wasn't a chutney so much as a thin dipping sauce while still delicious). 3 of us had the 2 different tacos which were really great, & my dad really enjoyed his Italian sandwich.... said he was surprised it wasn't meat.
Service was friendly & prompt though not super up on details about the food.
I'll definitely return to try other outstanding creations!

You don't need to be Vegan to enjoy the southern hospitality here. Fried green tomatoes, smothered sweet potatoes tacos, zesty salad with crunchy tofu croutons, fun cocktails and a giant piece of cake, what more could you want! It was really hard to decide. I will be back to try the Mac n cheese!

Pretty basic vegetarian/vegan place. As an appetizer I got the fried green tomatoes. Maybe it's just me, but it tasted underseasoned. Same with the gyro I got as my main meal, but the sauce made up for it once I got extra. They were also sold out of dessert both times I went, thank God there's a Mexican bakery two stores down. Forget the name but that place was great!

Great vegetarian restaurant with an awesome beer/drink selection. Awesome service. Pretty good space but tough to seat large parties. Tacos are very worth a try! I've loved all the ones I've tried. And def ask about the specials.

Are you looking for one of the best vegan spots in Chicago? Well, you got it!!! Everything on the menu is off the charts, the taste is amazing, the size of the servings are pretty good and the prices are fair enough! The music is deep, heavy and doomy and the ambience is great for a seitanic meal!

My favorite veggie place in Chicago! Awesome vegetarian and lots of vegan options too! Menu is interesting and has veggie options you won’t find anywhere else. Servers are super friendly. Did I mention they have a great selection of beer? Yum!

Great atmosphere and design.
We sat by the bar, which was showing Wayne's World and The Craft.
Had two vegan dishes which were great.
The place was packed but not crowded.
Highly recommended.
