Meh - Edit
Read moreI probably should’ve looked at some reviews to better inform my order for my first time at Veg’d. Because I think upwards of $20 is way too much to spend on any fast food, I kept it simple and ordered the basic “chicken” sandwich (my total was $12 and change). By all appearances, it promised to be good but the patty was mushy, greasy, and had an unpleasant, gritty breading. The most pronounced flavor (read: only flavor) was the dill pickles. And really, why is it spelled “Chic Chik” if it’s pronounced “chick chick?” Less time spent on clever names and more time spent on developing flavor and texture would be cool. The service was also a little weird; there were two people ahead of me in line and the wait time was almost twenty minutes. The employees were less than enthusiastic.
Pros: Fully vegan, Convenient drive-thru
Cons: Expensive, Not that tasty, Weird texture

Big portions, Great flavors - Edit
I had the Good Morning Sammie and my husband got the breakfast burrito. We ordered online for pick up. Staff was very friendly, the car smelled so good on the way home we were salivating. They did not disappoint, we devoured both( sorry, no pictures)!!

Pros: 100% vegan, Big portions, Great flavors, Get your monies worth

Good burgers - Edit
My belly loves and my wallet hates having a drive-thru vegan spot close to work. The obvious competitor that comes to mind is Nice Guys, and I do think that they are slightly better than VEG'D overall, but this place does have the benefit of a more varied menu. I haven't tried any of their stuff besides the burgers, but they do have some (marginally) healthier bowls and smoothies, if you're not in the mood for greasy fast food. Also, they have cold brew, so that's another plus.

Great dill ranch sauce - Edit
The sweet potato waffle fries with dill ranch are so delicious. The loaded fries with cheese could be better if the cheese sauce was more of a sauce like consistency.

Great fast food place! - Edit
They have a good selection of both healthy and unhealthy items😄I got Kung Pao Cauliflower bowl and chiky nuggets.
Read moreThe bowls can be made with either greens or grains, so I got half n half. It's a spring mix type, and there's enough sauce so the leaves aren't dry. The mixed grains also have their own light sauce and are quite flavorful with a good texture
The nuggets were honestly a little mushy, but the outside was flaky and crispy, and the flavor was delicious so I still loved them!
And the pasta straws are great! Will be back, can't wait to try other menu stuff
Pros: Saucy and flavorful, Unique drinks with pasta straws, Exceeded expectations

Fantastic fast vegan food - Edit
I was traveling and searched happy cow to see what was nearby and this place came up. So glad I stopped in! It’s quick, easy, fresh, abundant. I had a delicious fresh salad with two scoops of wonderful Tempe salad on top. I also had a smoothie, mint chocolate chip made with fresh mint. Really great fresh homemade food, I will definitely stop back here the next time I am in town. Also, they have a beautiful porch and I sat outside in the sun which was great being that I was here visiting in the winter from Connecticut.

Ok. - Edit
Just to be honest I'm not really impressed. First the good : I really like the poke bowl (i love everything with seaweed,ginger and edanames), and I really like the blue magic smoothie.
Read moreThe not so good : The morning Sammy it was just meh.. I honestly had to take the bread and the sausage out because it was just not good. I'm not really sure If I would go back 😕maybe just for the smoothie and for the poke bowl or try the salad.
Pros: Full vegan
Cons: Not so healthy items or variety , Expensive , Could be better

Sadly, I don’t like it 🥺 - Edit
I want to give it more stars because it’s vegan fast food and I try to do everything I can to support anything vegan but I personally do not think their food is good 😞 I feel like they put a lot of mayonnaise and other not so good condiments on their food and without the sauce, their fake meat is honestly just not good. Just one person’s opinion 😬

Delicious breakfast burritos - Edit
Picked this up for breakfast on the way to the beach and it was really tasty. We got our food really fast and the breakfast burritos had great flavor. My Corgi certainly wanted a bite. 😉

Tasty fast food spot - Edit
While there getting to be a lot of fast and fast casual vegan joints out there, I was actually pretty impressed by the new Matthew Kenney spot Veg’d. In addition to things like burgers and fries, they also have some really good and healthy bowls available. And, if you’re a breakfast fan, they open early and have a lot of options to keep you satisfied.
Read moreGreat option to check out on the way to or from the Santa Ana airport.
Pros: Good mix of less and more healthy options, Lots of breakfast options
Cons: Difficult to get to without a car

Nice breakfast options - Edit
Went in for breakfast and ordered two breakfast sandwiches. I ordered online so when I arrived it was ready. I ordered the sausage egg and cheese sandwich and the bacon egg and cheese sandwich (added sausage patty). They tasted good but the sausage egg and cheese sandwich came with a sauce that was not specified on the menu and I didn’t like it.

Delicious food, and yet… - Edit
The food at Veg’d is pretty great tasting but nothing I’ve ordered here has been really stable at all, like it doesn’t have any structural integrity! It falls apart! I was eating most of my burger out of the bottom of the tray and my zucchini shed it’s well seasoned batter every time I tried to dip them in the provided ranch dressing. I’ll probably keep going back anyway.
Read morePros: Delicious food!, Drive-thru!, Convenience!
Cons: Things fall apart!, Kinda pricey?

Fresh ingredients - Edit
I had a Poke bowl. It was really good but maybe a little small, I could’ve eaten two of those. The taste was a little bland, sauce was a bit watery I don’t normally use all of any sauce but I def sid this time and could’ve done with two of those, too. I hear burger was good but not much inside. Fruit smoothie was flavored water (mainly made of ice) and it was left half finished. I liked that bowl was very healthy though!
