Absolutely amazing - Edit
I’d heard great things about veggie grill before and I was excited to finally go. I got the fish tacos (which were crispy and delicious and tasted just like real fish tacos) and the loaded nachos (really good! The nacho cheese and sour cream were stellar)—then had the lemon raspberry cake for dessert. The cake was absolute heaven. The staff were super friendly and the food is so affordable! Can’t wait to go back and try their burgers!!!

Great option for a vegan meal - Edit
I've been here several times. The nachos are great! I've also enjoyed several sandwiches, burgers, and appetizers. The California wrap had too much mustard though, couldn't taste anything else... I like that the menu is varied and there are quite a few different options to try.

Never disappoints! - Edit
Veggie Grill is my first choice when I can’t be bothered to cook or try something new. I’ve never had anything here that tasted bad, orders are made quickly and the flavors are complex and satisfying.

Clean & Modern - Edit
Had plenty of parking behind the restaurant. There is a back door to enter instead of walking around to the front of the building.
Read moreIt is located in a nice area with lots of pedestrians and cars.
I was going to a live blues music venue and although I wanted one of their messy & yummy burgers, I chose finger foods so not to mess up my lipstick and make-up.
What I had was not a good example of this chain that I love so much so next time I will have whatever I want and just bring my make-up in case it gets really sloppy!! :)
Pros: nice area, modern

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! - Edit
I was here for a week for work and ate lunch here every single day. One day I ate here twice. Huge variety on the menu, food was absolutely delicious, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Great prices, cannot recommend enough. I only wish there was one back home.  I highly recommend the Kimchi steak bowl and the steak fajitas quesadilla!

Was the best but got surpassed - Edit
This was the first vegan fast food burger spot to franchise and reach out of SoCal. Was the best at the time but many other new vegan spots have surpassed them in quality.
Read moreVeggie Grill is awesome if you’re in the suburbs and it’s the only option. The food is good. It just could be better for the price.
Generally the further from Irvine Orange County you get the lower the quality.
Their other project Stand Up Burger is much better (delicious junk food) and their ghost kitchen Mas Veggies is horrible. I really wanted to like it but it was just bad. Basic Mexican food is hard to mess up.. I hope they step their game up.
On the upside it’s a little cheaper than Real Food Daily nearby.
Pros: Decent fast food, Healthyish leaning fast food, Free 90 min parking out back
Cons: Pricey for fast food, Chicken sandwiches could be crispier , Chain Jamba Juice vibe

Best fast food vegan - Edit
For what it is - a greasy, fast food chain - it's pretty much top tier. Really wish I had one close to me. Still dream about the amazing crab cakes

Exceptional flavor - Edit
I got the steakhouse burger with default black bean mushroom patty. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The reviews made me reconsider going but ultimately I’m glad I came here.

Not impressed - Edit
Their menu and all the pictures make it look amazing but we were not impressed with our meals. It just didn’t live up to the hype. I got the Chickpea Masala Bowl and my friend got the kids Mac and Cheese Meal. Apparently his sweet potato fries were good, but that’s about it. I support their cause and everything they’re doing, but I probably won’t be back unless I’m in a pinch.

Not consistent - Edit
This location feels like the least consistent poorest quality of all the locations. Unfortunately its closest to home and I still find myself driving over the hill rather than chance it. Cold food, long waits even when empty, missing items, burnt food. On and on. And this was pandemic so I'm not faulting them unfairly. The only location worse is Santa Monica. Irvine and The Grove are the best locations.
Read moreThe pro is for someone who has been veg well over 30yrs. where a dinner salad was as good as it got. It is nice to now have a chain option around.
Pros: Free parking, Good comfort food
Cons: Poor service, Poor quality, Slow service

So Many Delicious Options! - Edit
Veggie Grill has become my go-to for quick vegan food. There’s a great variety of options to choose from and I love that you can earn points towards some free food! My current favorites are the VG Classic burger, the Buffalo wraps, and the Far East bowl. Everything is so flavorful! I do miss the Mondo Nachos, though😒The newer Southwestern Nachos aren’t as enjoyable for me, but I’ll still order them if I’m craving nachos (I really really love nachos 🙈).
Read moreThe Veggie Grill Pasadena team has been amazing during the pandemic and I love that I can do curbside pickup. Everyone has always been kind and wearing a mask and face shield.
Pros: Great selection, Flavorful food, Friendly staff

Good default spot! - Edit
My partner and I got the buffalo chickn wraps & nachos with sweet potato fries. Let me say that all the food was SUPER tasty. My only gripes were we asked for no ranch and Got lots of ranch, and then asked for chipotle aioli and got ketchup. I would’ve wanted the attention to detail when handling my order, but we wiped off the ranch and kept it pushing. The textures, flavors and that chocolate mousse 😍 good!
Read morePros: All vegan , Moderate prices Avg $9-15, Super tasty
Cons: Attention to detail on the order
