A vegan fast food joint

This is a restaurant with ethics. Foodswings not only serves the best vegan fast food (like fried chicken, cheese fries, fish sticks, s'mores, Philly cheese steaks, etc) but also has good prices and mass appeal. Foodswings works with social justice and animal rights groups, along with donating food to the needy, workers on strike, etc.

Yum! I got the drumsticks, "chicken" quesadillas, cheese fries, and a bar of some sort. (Don't worry, I was sharing with a friend, but we wanted to sample a few things!) I want to make sure to visit this place whenever I'm visiting said friend in New York. The drumsticks and quesadillas were pretty spicy, actually -too- spicy, so I would stray away from those next time. If you want some greasy vegan food (come on, we all do sometimes!), this is a good place to get it at.

Great comfort food! If you're looking for tasty, less-than-healthy vegan treats, this is the place. The drumsticks are awesome and their sandwiches are pretty great too. Plus they have vegan shakes and deserts.

Sometimes the service is so-so, but what can you expect with counter service fast food?

My only real complaint is that their delivery area doesn't span very far and sometimes its not worth it making the trek.

This place is amazing and is perfect to take your skeptical meat eating friends. The PuPu platter is great (variety of deep fried faux meats), as are all the vegan milk shakes. If you're in the mood for something that's not deep fried, you can also get the baked drumsticks and mashed potatoes or mac and "cheese." This is definitely the best late night hangout in Brooklyn.

this place is great. vegan drumsticks are the best-- especially buffalo! the moonpies make everyone swoon, and the shakes rock. eat here now!

Great if you are in the mood for fried mock-meat or soy cheese fries.

Foodswings rocks my world:)
It's a cute little place with a pizzeria type of vibe. The people that work there are very cool and the menu is great. After 11 they have a late night munchies menu with items like mozarella sticks and pizza. They also have philly cheese steaks, the BEST drum sticks EVER and an array of desserts. If you're in Brooklyn or if you're in NY you've gotta go there

On a recent muggy august afternoon I stopped by foodswings while doing work in NYC. I highly recommend this vegan fast food joint for anyone looking for food that is tasty, quick and priced well. I got the Pu-Pu platter which contained 3 of their drumsticks: regular, bbq and buffalo. It also had some of their tofu fish-sticks and some nuggests. That and a side of fries cost me about $10 (including a water). The selection is good and the only thing I can say against foodswings is that there wasn't much that was low fat or raw. But hey, there's plenty of those places around NYC. If you want some tasty grub with no fluff, check out Foodswings!
