"Upscale vegan restaurant with a simplified menu and great offerings. We were surprised at the small number of options offered, but in a way it felt good because there was a lot less decision making. Ordering was simple, fast and easy. We went with the kimchi broccoli for the appetizers, the friend chicken and the Nashville burger. The kimchi broccoli was very good! The sauce was a bit spicy, with an incredible tingly flavor to it. The portion was a bit small, especially since it is a ?cheap? vegetable. In any case, the kimchi broccoli was a good and enticing starter. As per the entrees, I enjoyed the Nashville burger a more than the fried chicken, but the fried chicken plate was absolutely massive. Two large seitan, deep fried breast, with a satisfying crunchy finish. The mashed potatoes and broccoli were also pretty good but the vegan gravy made the dish. It tastes very similar to real gravely but it?s so much lighter. As per the Nashville sandwich, wow. I only wish it was bigger (but that?s because I have an incredible appetite). Super crunchy, nice kick, and super light surprisingly. Topped with cabbage and other light veggies, it was a very light and refreshing burger. Overall, this was an awesome vegan spot. The options are limited, but that makes it much easier to choose a meal, and ensures that their plates are very high quality. The servers were also very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Absolutely recommend for a nice vegan date night"

"I needed a quick place for lunch in Albion. After seeing a lot of fast food choices, I discovered the Little Red Lunch Box closeby. This is a home-cooking breakfast and burgers diner dive! It is small with the only seating available is a counter and in the other room, you can see the owner, Sue, cooking as fast as she can! She stayed superbusy with dining and several carry-out orders on a Saturday. This was a memorable place to dine for me for several reasons. 1. Her grandchild which was about 8 years old took my order after I had sat there for about 5 minutes. Why? Because it seems like Sue is the only cook and she keeps her grandkids to help. There was a teenager that was helping her but he was pretty busy too. 2. Her younger grandchild kept getting in the way of the small lane between the counter and kitchen which led to many getting chewed out moments for the youngster. 3. I loved the way Sue talked! She was sassy and had a strong accent. She also took real good care of me! I told her the ketchup tasted kind of bad and she came and wiped it right off my plate! Haha She also told me she loved the way I talked (Alabama accent)! 4. People sitting around the counter started talking to me about Alabama football in Michigan, which led to a debate about the current status of college football during COVID. 5. The burger was an excellent homestyle burger. I think it was called the wildcat and had fried onion rings with BBQ sauce and cheese. I had potato wedges, which was a baked potato sliced into logs and lightly fried. If you are in the Albion area and have a hankering for breakfast or a home-style burger, you need to stop in and see Sue!"
