Squash the Beef — Restaurant in Cleveland

We were starving after a few hours of walking around at the nearby Botanical Garden, so we needed some nourishment! I had heard about a vegan soul food place in the area, so that’s where we headed. An excellent idea because Squash the Beef is a fantastic place.

We dined in, but I saw on the website that they have a pretty cool truck that you can book for catered food right at your event. That sounds pretty awesome to me - fun and delicious plant-based food made on the spot for your guests!

Back to my experience — I had a delicious Philly Cheesesteak sandwich that was totally great. The plant-based slices of steak were smothered with cheese and sautéed onions and peppers and mushrooms and tucked inside a toasted sub, with a side of fries.

Went to Soul Food Sunday and got one of everything. My boyfriend got the bbq jackfruit dinner with green beans, mac and cheese, collard greens, and the fried chick'n with the kale lemonade. He also ate the Huff Delicious Treats Lemon Pound Cake. I got the meatless meatloaf, with the fried chick'n, wild rice, sweet potatoes, and collard greens. Plus the peach mango lemonade.

It was all amazing! The meatless meatloaf had a nice heavy texture and the fried chick'n needs no sauce. The sweet potatoes blew me away with bold sweet, yet savory flavor. I always love the collards and really enjoyed the wild rice.

This chef knows his flavors and textures! I would be one happy vegan if I could afford to have them cater my every meal. Until then, my mouth lacks the...
