I ordered the Spinach Patty from the Decatur Hub location. Unfortunately, this spot is not like the one in Marietta. The patty was not cooked all the way thru. I will post pics to show. The taste was off too. It did not have a spinach taste. I have ordered from the Decatur Hub before and I dont think this is a good spot to eat from this restaurant. There is always something wrong with my order and no one can be reached to rectify the problem.

I was so excited to try this place out. The menu looked amazing, and, although the prices were steep, I was expecting an ample portion size. I went into their location at the Marietta food hall. There was no one at the counter. You had to order from a kiosk. I am not a fan of that ordering experience. I prefer to talk to someone because it feels more personal. All of the other food stalls had people working the cash register. I ordered their lunch special which came with a vegan meat, rice and peas, and a side item. I got the oxtail and the collard greens. I also wanted to try the Mac and cheese, but there was a $3.50 upcharge, so I decided to get the side Mac for $10 since that seemed like a better deal. The expected wait time for the food was 15 minutes. After 25 minutes I went over to the counter and rang the bell. Someone came over and only in that moment started preparing the order. So I had been waiting for nothing? They gave me my food, and the Mac and cheese was a pathetic portion. A far cry from $10 worth. I hoped at least the food would be good. Everything was all right. I did really enjoy the collard greens. The oxtail and rice and peas were just alright, and the Mac and cheese was eh. Everything was very salty. Overall, I was very disappointed by this place. It is overpriced, and the customer service was terrible. I will not be back.

Loved this place! We come to the Atlanta area because the vegan food has never failed to be astounding, and they were just as spectacular as we expected. They’re pricey for a restaurant in a food hall, but you get a lot of food in your order – like. a lot. and every bit of it is amazing.
we ordered the voxtail and have since found out that voxtail is an original creation from the kitchen of B.A.D Gyal Vegan themselves. viral, no less? for good heckin’ reason.
the cauliflower wings were PERFECT. crispy breading with the cauliflower cooked well, but not soggy. i ordered the jerk sauce and loved it – would love to see a stronger flavor come forward in that sauce but it was good as-is too!
the service was quick and friendly and i loved getting to learn first hand that it is mother & daughter business. y’all are phenomenal. you managed to make a good hall space feel like a whole vibe. thank you for doing what you do! I can’t wait to watch B.A.D. Gyal Vegan continue to grow<3

You know when I’m not over the road working I love stopping by BAD GYAL VEGAN‼️ for some fine Caribbean food. Being a vegan is sometimes challenging especially for me being a truck driver, but let me tell you BAD GYAL done figured it out and took it to another level especially with those plant based Voxtails WHAT THE TRUCK RU DOING!! Lol… I love the service and I really appreciate what y’all represent. You know health is wealth and according to Genesis 1:29 the most high has given them the power to heal the people through their food! Gratitude for everything and I’ll see y’all when I get back home peace and love!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at B.A.D. GYAL VEGAN, and I’m already planning my next visit! This place is a true gem, serving up some of the most creative and delicious vegan food I’ve ever had. Every dish was packed with flavor and made with love.
We tried a fantastic spread, and a few items really stood out. The Voxtail™ Dinner was absolutely incredible—rich, savory, and completely satisfying. If you’re looking for a hearty and flavorful main, I can’t recommend it enough.
Another must-try is the Crispy Skrimp Dinner. We had it with both the Buffalo and the Hot Gyal sauces, and they were both amazing. The “skrimp” had the perfect texture, and the sauces were bursting with flavor.
And for a truly unique and delicious bite, you have to get the Baddie CheezeStake. It was cheesy, savory, and everything you could want in a vegan cheesesteak.
Everything, from the Rice & Peas to the Sweet Plantain, was cooked to perfection. B.A.D. GYAL VEGAN is a must-visit for vegans and non-vegans alike. You will not be disappointed!
It Is Truly An Unforgettable Vegan Feast!
Thanks a million to the owner and his most gracious wife, mother, and all…
Praise Yahweh!

The customer service was immaculate. NY at the counter was very helpful and welcoming. The energy he gave and the way he described the food was equal to the experience. The food was amazing, fresh and fulfilling. It was my first time but definitely will not be my last. We ordered the skrimp richgyal, the miss mac burger, and the baddie jr nuggets meal. Everything taste great, no complaints. 10/10

So we went on a Saturday afternoon, right at the height of lunch time. There was no one at the counter or anywhere in sight, so we made orders on the kiosk. We were suppose to get a text when our orders were ready and were sent a time frame text when that should be. The time came and went with no text so we went back over to the counter, still no one in sight, so we ring the bell. We told them we were looking for our orders, the lady asked our names and then went into the back and we saw her reach for bowls to fix our orders (so in other words, no one had checked on any kiosk orders until we came looking for them).
The food itself was decent, but it was not exceptional and definitely not worth the price or wait. The portion sizes were also small. My daughter got a side of their mac & jeez to go with her order, it was $10 and just your basic cup size side portion. My order came with one side, I asked for the sweet plantains. I was given two small and one one bite size plantain, not even a half cup portion size.
I wanted to like and support this place since my daughter is Vegan, but very poor experience. My first and only time I will ever eat here.

First time coming to this restaurant, which was the Marietta location. I ordered the chikun sandwich. This sandwich was SUPER good. It didn’t even make it out the parking lot. I had to pull over and write a review because it’s hard finding a vegan spot that actually tastes delicious. DEFINITELY we’ll be coming back. Their customer service was everything, was very impressed with my experience
