Doomie's Home Cookin'

I've been vegan now for a couple months but prior to that, I was vegetarian for a year and 5 months. Prior to THAT I was pescatarian for 4 months. Basically what I'm trying to say is that it's been a while since I last had a chicken sandwich, let alone a fast food one.

Doomie's Home Cookin' has been on my radar ever since I created an account on Yelp but last week was when I decided to walk over to the restaurant and eat here. Let's just say...it blew my mind. Their vegan chicken sandwich is the closest thing I've had to the real thing which is mind boggling to say. The taste reminded me of when I used to get Wendy's after school with my friends. It really brought me back.

Not only is that flavor incredible but the portion is perfect for me. They're so generous with the fries and they don't skimp you out which makes sense for the cost. I wish I had gotten better pictures but I was eager to dig in!!!

In conclusion, I'm truly so happy I found this place and I'm excited to keep coming back for more. LA really has some of the best vegan joints. Next time I go, I'll be trying their burgers  

4.5/5

Not giving one star, because I ended up leaving w food and cannot lie. I have been there a lot, and even now the food is good and that's what makes this so shitty to me - because I am skeptical as to whether I'll return now....

Order was messed up and overcharged .
Was trying to tell me was currently irreversible and couldn't compensate for the overcharge by a equal cost of an item - and would have to go thru the ringer by contacting so and so to even try to get a refund - when that wasn't the point.

If and when You guys made a mistake , take full and absolute responsibility so a super minimal mistake doesn't have to be a bad yelp review or a super pleasant consistent customer who sings the praises of your food - being absolute bewildered as to the strange and not prompt, and initial very off putting behavior by the very employee who overcharged me .

A really good example of customer service would be to understand that I drove from Sherman oaks to pick up your food, and ordered ahead - obviously in an attempt to be more timely - instead had to wait extra, was overcharged and initially met with very off-putting customer service . ... so maybe , as I have paid a lot of money over time to roomies.

May be take all that into consideration and provide a much better customer service response.

Again I have come here a lot, many weekends for a delicious breakfast sandwich - the food is very good.

However the service and how this was initially attempted to be handled by the employee who overcharged me , and the lack of timeliness - combined - makes me consider is it worth it for the food?

I have lots of work and many years in customer service , and this is simply not how you handle this, even if I left w food - I ended up paying a dollar after being overcharged , and having to argue to state that as I already provided extra money, I should be compensated .
The whole thing was Very sour especially for someone who has eaten at and gone to Doomies quite a bit .

Would be nice for a manager or an owner to reach out to reply as , again I ENJOY the restaurant and food but was taken aback by an initial attempt to do nothing to promptly solve my issue.

I had this with my bf yesterday and the food and service were great.

Apparently it's ALL vegan and we had no idea until we got home and looked at my "bacon" lol. Made me feel like I could go vegan one day. I have no clue what we were actually eating but it was good!

They should probably add vegan on the Yelp profile not only in the description.

The food was delicious, the staff was amazing, and they're open late! One of my new favorite vegan stops!

So happy I got to try this place when I was in LA recently.  This is definitely a place that vegetarians and meat eater would both enjoy.  For my meal I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich.  You would never guess it wasn't made with actual chicken.  I have been craving a Buffalo chicken sandwich for a long time and this was perfect.  It is really hard to replicate a crispy, but juicy chicken patty without using meat, but they were spot on.  They Buffalo sauce had a great flavor too, as did their homemade ranch.

I am a frequent customer at Doomies Next Mex which is next door to Doomies. Everything on that menu is amazing so naturally I wanted to try their restaurant next door.

They had vegan version of animal fries on their menu?! Whatttttt! I was so excited and I definitely enjoyed them. They are SO good. Their cheese is really good and I can't wait to order again.

I also ordered a cheeseburger and I wasn't a fan. My son ended up eating it but the vegan burger competition is so high in LA, I have definitely had better. I don't know what kind of meat they use, but I just couldn't enjoy it.

Their Oreo milkshake was just okay. I didn't finish it so I ended up ordering a cheesecake they had. The cake was good but it didn't resemble a cheesecake.

They have a parking lot and are allowing outdoor dining. When I visited, they were working on their indoor dining.

I love their Mexican restaurant next door so I do recommend trying both because they really do have good options. I trust them so I'm thinking maybe I just ordered the wrong thing.

Good! This is basically vegan fast food. It's
the FIRST vegan chicken place to ACTUALLY taste good.

  But, I wouldn't get it again. Too greasy and I could feel my arteries clogging up, ahaha.  I read a comment that said something along the lines of 'Why eat here when you're vegan when you're trying to eat healthy hence the vegan lifestyle', and I was like, "Wow, I understand that now". After eating, I felt sick. Not sick as in I want to throw up, but sick as in, that was a lot.  Food was on point, but too much for my liking. I ate a lot of it, but not the whole meal.

  The fries were seasoned and greasy. Spicy Mayo was very spicy, but still tasted great with the fries. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich actually tasted like chicken, bun was too soggy for my liking, it was giving me a 5-Guy tease, and I didn't even realize the cheese. I wouldn't get this again, but it was a good try.

  I also got the Oreo Milkshake, but I gave it to my mom after 3 sips. It got too sweet for me, haha. I appreciated how the drink is wrapped in plastic to eliminate germs and quarantine my cup. I'll stick to my regular  non-greasy vegan food when I order out.  

  My door person: Dennis was sweet and handled my food with care.

We've been going to Doomies since we moved down to LA. We went a few times when we lived east of LA but now we're luckily 10 minutes away.

Doomies holds a special place in our hearts because their fried chicken is unmatched. It's the closest thing to "normal" fried chicken and it's not even close. We usually order a la carte two breasts, but their 3 piece meal is good too if you want some sides (mashed potatoes, a roll, salad, and a corn on the cob.

New to us is their toffee cake. We didn't know what to expect, but it was probably our favorite thing besides the fried chicken. We are definitely craving Doomies already just to get another slice of that toffee cake.

Not vegan but I'm definitely making my way to try some new things! I am a foodie through and through and why not try something a little different!

I went for the MAC AND CHEESE. It had a smoky smell and I was a bit hesitant. The first bite I took convinced me that I made a good dinner choice. The flavor is actually very low key. I added garlic salt to pep it up a bit. It had a good creamy cheese essence. Definitely felt like comfort food. Pleasantly surprised!

I went for the BAVARIAN CARAMEL CAKE. It satisfied my sweet tooth. I'm not sure how vegan cakes tend to be but the cake has that dense moist look to it. It's not fluffy and light but it is tasty. The like the little crunch from the almond toffee. The frosting reminds me of cool whip.

Overall I can't wait to try more vegan food. I'll definitely be back!

I enjoyed the food a lot. Incredibly greasy and fried. Definitely does not make you feel good after but amazing vegan fast food.
