We’ve been longtime fans of Native Foods since they first opened in Glendale, and enjoy their Boulder restaurant occasionally, so while shopping down south, we stopped at this location in Lone Tree for dinner to see the latest new NF evolution.This Lone Tree newest outlet has all the jazzy upgrades with large, lighted menu displays and ordering and is definitely launching into the solid national franchise status with this location entry.My low rating for this visit was based solely on the food preparation of one item… the Chicken Bacon Avo Club Sandwich (with fries).For the very first sampling of this sandwich at this new location (have ordered it dozens of times before at their other locations) it was a complete disaster. Terrible.The total “Fail” for this sandwich was the bacon ? strips. Not only were they poorly prepared, they were completely inedible. My first thought was that they looked like strips of thick, over-cooked shoe leather, but they were worse. They were more like a wooden texture, similar to dark brown thick wooden tongue depressors glued together.They were not only horrid looking, but almost impossible to even bite through.. For a kitchen chef to even put those brown tasteless wooden chunks in a sandwich and send them out for someone to try and eat was entirely unconscionable. You could easily tell just by looking at them, that even a pet would refuse them as a chew toy. This is not an exaggeration.An employee was very apologetic about the unfortunate strips they’d served and took them to the back to discuss them with whoever prepared them. He offered to replace them with more bacon strips which I declined. When a kitchen is willing to serve something that terribly wrong, the last thing you want is a second attempt.I’m guessing that their kitchen employees are new and unskilled at preparing the vegetarian meat products, but whatever the case, I’d encourage people to simply avoid this location until they figure things out.I could picture a brand new customer thinking… “Hmmmm a meatless Chicken and bacon and avocado sandwich… that should be interesting to taste.” And then, after being served the very unappetizing brown strips of wood in the middle of an otherwise unremarkable sandwich, thinking, “That’s the LAST time I’ll ever try eating a vegetarian sandwich! Those vegetarians people are garbage wood-eating freaks.”It’s hard estimating how many people may have already written off Native Foods for good if they were served similar wholly inedible “bacon” strips like that. But having enjoyed the many Native Foods sandwiches for years, I can testify that they’re not ALL this awful. This location just needs to train their kitchen staff how to properly cook the products they’re preparing.Until they get it right, avoid this location. (the other 2/3 of the sandwich were okay… but the bacon is one of the worst things I’ve seen a restaurant serve in a long, long time.)
Really great food. Love this place! Will add that extra star if they start giving more fries. For 13 bucks, I'm wanting double what the currently give you.
Customer service was fantastic so I wish I could give it higher stars, but the food was not good. As a long time consumer of vegetarian and vegan food I was so excited to try this place! I used to go to the original Native Foods up in Boulder when we lived near there and they were excellent every time. Unfortunately, the food at this location was bland, greasy, overly salty, and the buns we had for the sandwiches were stale. In the end we couldn't finish our meal, which is rare for us. I'm bummed because I love to support plant based and local businesses and I was really hoping this would be like the Boulder one.
I had the Crazy Good Chicken Sandwuch and it was crazy good! My side was fries. The food is ready in a short amount of time and it is always good. I forgot to check in to get my points so make sure you do that. I wish it was just automatically added.
Ok folks, this is really good food. I didn't say vegan food because although it is vegan it's some of the best food period. I'm not vegan or vegetarian and this place is on my regular restaurant rotation. Just ate the Twister Wrap with the crispy not-chicken and the taste, texture, everything was fantastic! Probably the best chicken wrap I've ever had. Give this place a try; you'll be glad you did.
Everything tasted amazing and I couldn't tell the difference between the vegan meat and the real thing.I had ordered the crazy grilled chicken which went well with the sauce on the inside.The sweet potato fries were delicious and crispy.I also had tenders in a Thai Chilli sweet sauce that was different and delicious.Overall, will definitely try it again when in lone tree
This place was recommended by a vegan coworker and I was not disappointed. Prices were higher than expected, but that's probably in line with rising prices elsewhere. The food was delicious and there are a lot of different options. It is 100% vegan and I brought a non-vegan friend here who liked it as well. The oatmeal cream pies are huge as well.
Food is awful. No one in our family could barely finish 2 bites & we ordered everything on the menu. Definitely left hungry.
There were so many yummy things to choose from in the menu. We will definitely come back. This place is perfect for vegetarian, pescatarian, or anyone that wants to take a break of eating meat .
LOVE this place! Exactly what this area needs. The menu is really creative, and delicious. Fantastic burgers, and sandwiches (especially the po boy!) and a pretty quick turnaround when you order from the website. Thanks!
