If you're searching for vegan comfort food in Westchester, it’s time you hear about Veg’d Out.

This Black-owned, independent restaurant just opened in New Rochelle — and it’s doing something a lot of spots claim, but few actually pull off: Making plant-based food people genuinely crave — even if they’re not vegan.

Before you scroll past thinking it's the same old vegan concept — it’s not.

What makes Veg’d Out stand out isn’t just that it’s vegan — it’s that it’s done differently. Everything’s made to order, with real attention to quality over shortcuts. One bite is all it takes. There’s nothing like it in Westchester, NYC, or anywhere around — and once you try it, you’ll get it.

What’s the difference?

Simple. We’re not trying to mimic the same processed stuff you’ve seen everywhere else.

No Beyond patties. No flavorless tofu. No mystery soy. Just real ingredients like mushrooms, jackfruit, plant-based cheeze & more used in ways that actually deliver.

You’ve seen plant-based menus before. This isn’t one of them, and it doesn’t taste like them either.

What You’ll Find at Veg’d Out

Fried “Chicken” – Made from mushrooms, crispy, seasoned, and layered on soft buns
BBQ Pulled “Pork” – Jackfruit that’s cooked slow, sauced heavy, and stacked high
Chopped Cheese – Built like a real bodega sandwich, made with ground shroom and plant-based cheeze
Sides – Mac, loaded fries, cauli and shroom bites — nothing filler, nothing boring

Everything is made to satisfy.

“As someone who’s been vegan for years, I’m used to settling. This? I didn’t have to settle for anything. Finally, food with flavor that goes all in. I will be a lifetime customer” - Destiny M, New Rochelle.

Not into plant-based? You’re who this will surprise most.

Many people who eat here aren’t plant-based — they’re just tired of eating the same thing everywhere else.

If you walk in skeptical, you’re not the first. But you might walk out rethinking what plant-based can actually be.

Built by a Local, Not a Boardroom

The concept was created by a Westchester local who knew exactly what the area was missing — and built it from the ground up.

Veg’d Out was built to show that eating more consciously doesn’t mean giving up the foods you actually enjoy — and that better choices don’t have to feel like a sacrifice.

There’s pride in every order — and you’ll taste it.
