Evolution Fast Food

I’ve been here two times and I think it’s safe to say that this place is pretty awesome! I highly recommend the Fuego Burger and if you’re up for something new, there is a Crispy Chk’n & Pesto that is really good as well. While they aren’t pictured with this review, the Buffalo Fries tasted amazing as well.

Never thought I would be giving Evolution 2 stars, but here we are unfortunately. I used to love this place when it had a drive-thru and I returned several years later to see that they removed the drive-thru completely (and possibly moved locations?). Now it is no longer the hole-in-the-wall place it used to be (in a bad way) and is a shared business with Donna Jean, another vegan restaurant. It’s small inside as most of the indoor space is for Donna Jean. There is outdoor seating but we just ate inside being the only customers at lunch time. Unfortunately this is where it goes down hill. Me and my girlfriend ordered burritos and they were automatically cut in half (for "Presentation" I’m guessing), but this is a red flag for me. Staff seemed unenthusiastic to be there and the vibes were a little off so we took most of our food to-go. We were up-sold on some fries because it was some sort of "combo" which I’m sure ended up costing more. The "ketchup" we got for the fries was basically like if someone just cracked open a can of tomato paste and called it ketchup. $43 for 2 burritos (which were small portions, cut in half), some fries and 2 fountain drinks is a bit steep to say the least. Overall I won’t be returning here and recommend Plant Power over Evolution.

I recently visited Evolution’s new location and overall, it’s a definite improvement from the previous spot. The new space has better parking options, outdoor seating, and a more open, inviting flow. It feels like a step up in terms of ambiance and accessibility.

That said, I noticed a difference in the food compared to my past visits. I ordered the Evo Burger, which was decent, but not as memorable as before. The biggest change I noticed was in the fries. They used to be soft, fluffy, and satisfying — now they’re smaller, denser, and have more of a jerky-like texture. It was a bit of a letdown since the fries were one of my favorite parts.

As for the burger, I’d probably request fresh onions next time. The cooked onions were thick and not sliced thinly, which made the texture a bit overpowering. A few tweaks — like going back to their original fry style and refining some of the toppings — could really bring the food quality back to what made Evolution special in the first place.

Overall, I appreciate the upgraded space and still believe in their concept, but I hope they fine-tune some of the food elements going forward.

Decent restaurant overall. The BLTA sandwich was pretty good although I wasn’t a fan of the Pozole soup. I took a star off because they don’t have a lot of indoor seating and it took a while for my order to come out. I would still recommend dining here though.

Ok, the vegetable wrap I had was absolutely delicious yet healthy! It was so very tasy! Huge! I was stuffed! Customer service was okay. I ordered inside. I had to wait for someone to come to the register to place my order. Someone eventually came out telling me they’d be with me. That’s not so much the issue. It was dry customer service and not very welcoming. However, I truly enjoyed the food!
