Slutty Vegan: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Slutty Vegan is one of the most recognizable vegan restaurant brands in the country, and the Fort Greene, Brooklyn location brings the full experience to New York. Every single item on the menu is 100% plant-based, so you can walk in, pick whatever sounds good, and not think twice about whether it’s vegetarian or vegan. The Atlanta-born chain, founded by Aisha “Pinky” Cole in August 2018, built its reputation on unapologetically indulgent vegan junk food with names to match.

What’s vegan and vegetarian at Slutty Vegan

Everything. That’s the short answer. Slutty Vegan doesn’t serve any animal products, so the entire menu is vegan by default, which also makes it fully vegetarian. There’s no cross-contamination risk from a shared grill with meat, no hidden dairy in a sauce, and no egg in the bun. It’s a fully dedicated plant-based kitchen. The restaurant uses plant-based patties (Impossible Burger-style), vegan cheese, vegan bacon strips, and vegan Hawaiian buns throughout. Even the milkshakes and churros are dairy-free.

Signature dishes to order

The burger lineup is the main event. The Sloppy Toppy is a top seller, packing a plant-based patty with jalapeños, vegan cheese, and caramelized onions. If you want something with a little Caribbean flair, the Dancehall Queen swaps in sweet jerk plantains instead. The One Night Stand adds vegan bacon to the mix. For something heartier, the Hollywood Hooker goes Philly cheesesteak-style with vegan beef, peppers, and onions. Fries come crinkle-cut with Slutty Vegan’s specialty seasoning. The Dirty Diana Oreo milkshake is worth ordering if you have room.

How to order

You can order in person at the counter at 690 Fulton St in Fort Greene (near the G train at Fulton Street or the C train at Lafayette Ave). Online ordering is available through their app at sluttyveganatl.appfront.ai, and the restaurant is also on major delivery platforms. Hours run Monday through Thursday noon to 10pm, Friday and Saturday noon to midnight, and Sunday noon to 10pm. No reservations, counter service only. The Brooklyn spot opened in September 2022 as the brand’s first New York location and first franchise unit.

What to watch out for

Prices are on the higher end for a counter-service burger spot. Burgers range from roughly $19 to $30, and adding sides and a drink can push a meal past $40. It’s worth knowing that founder Pinky Cole filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early 2026, and the chain has scaled back from a peak of 14 locations to around four or five active spots (Brooklyn, Atlanta-Edgewood, Jonesboro GA, and Birmingham AL as of mid-2026). The restaurants are still operating during the bankruptcy process, but it’s worth confirming the Brooklyn location is open before you make a trip. Gluten-free options are limited since the signature Hawaiian buns contain gluten.

Is Slutty Vegan worth it?

If you’re looking for a 100% vegan spot where you don’t have to interrogate the staff about ingredients, Slutty Vegan delivers. The food is genuinely good, the brand has earned real national recognition (Time 100 Next, Fortune, Forbes, Essence), and the Brooklyn location is one of the few spots in New York where every single thing on the menu is fair game. The prices are high for fast-casual, but the portions are substantial and the experience is fun. For vegetarians and vegans who want a burger that doesn’t feel like a compromise, this one’s worth the trip to Fort Greene.
