Delicious Vegan Food - Edit
Always delicious, fast, reasonably priced vegan food at Veggie Grill. VG has been a favorite of mine for a long time. The items we tried today are seasonal but they were very good if you can get them! The vegan tuna melt and vegan turkey pot pie were both really good. The vegan tuna melt on rye was much better than any "real" tuna melt I've ever had! If it's your first time I recommend the Santa Fe Crispy Chickin, also the sweet potato fries are a must!! Other good stuff: salads and healthy bowls, also yummy wings and nachos, the chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake!! I wish they would bring back the classic VG menu items like the All American Stack!!

Cons: They've gotten rid of the All American Stack😒

Seol Bowl with Stake - don't try - Edit
I'm excited about everything about VeggieGrill, but disappointed by their this season pick. I tried Seol Bowl with Stake - don't try, it's COSTCO frozen Vegetables Patties of cheaper quality! I don't have to pay $11 for this hotchpotch item. I will come again and try other items as I love "freshness food concept".

tasty and healthy - Edit
I had the pick two with the half kale Caesar salad and side of cauli-potato mash with mushroom gravy. I was perfectly full and didn't feel weighed down. Very tasty!

Vegan fast food! - Edit
Went here for a quick snack after a light lunch, had the cauliflower-mashed potatoes and gravy and it was pretty good! Wish I wasn't so full or else I would've tried more menu items. It was sort of surreal walking into a fast food type of place and having it be vegan but it was all in all a pleasant experience!

Wow amazing vegan fast food! - Edit
This was our first stop in Portland. I got the buffalo wings which were pretty heavy, so I took half away but soo good in a junky, American kind of way. The hot sauce was quite over powering! the ranch sauce on the side was a nice counter-balance. I also got the crab cake burger which was really well done which came with fries. It was really good!
Read moreMy partner got chicken with mash potatoes and kale which was very nice. The potato was so creamy!
We shared a choc chip and walnut cookie for desserts which was a nice big cookie and tasted so fresh and was nice and soft. Reasonably priced, we took leftovers home because servings were quite big.
Pros: All vegan, American style fast food

Meh - Edit
We liked the menu, but the flavors were pretty blah, and there was too much oil. I had higher hopes for a chain that was getting so much buzz. If I ever go back, I won't get the portobello sandwich. Still feeling it over 24 hours later.
Read morePros: Menu looks promising, outdoor seating was nice, Cashier was nice

We don't get to eat out a lot, so when we come to places like Portland we go crazy. This was a great restaurant with even better food! We had the Cheeseburger, Chickin Tacos, SantaFe Crispy Chickin and everyone loved it. Stop here for sure!

Best in Portland - Edit
I have been to this location multiple times. They really hit the mark with smiling help, great management, and fabulous kitchen staff. The store is bright and clean and a happy place to be. My favorite meal is the Crab Cake sandwich with the Stawberry Lemonade. The texture and the flavor of the "crab" is dead-on. If you are in the pearl district, don't miss this gem.

quick good portions good price - Edit
They are quick consistent between locations. Kids and us enjoy every meal. Good prices with large portion sizes make sure you get the strawberry lemonade with you meal. Short walk from portland paramount hotel so makes for a good primary and fall back when everything else seems to far.

Fast food chain, with a twist - Edit
Spent two weeks in Portland in a hotel just two blocks away. Even my omnivore friends were seriously surprised over how good vegan food actually can be (duh) and as this was for most their first "encounter" with this fare I'm happy it was at Veggie Grill as the quality of the food, taste, speed we were served and portion size were all top notch!
Read moreFood ranges from salads to burgers (where you can choose from a more or less healthy side dish..)
Beverages. All from free water, ice tea to wine and beer for those who fancies alcohol.
Rather typical fast food interior (only downside).
Not a big fast food eater but if I ever get the cravings I know where to go!
Pros: Quality, Price, Speed
Cons: Interior

Vegan Fast-Food - Edit
True, it's a chain, but, if it's gotta be a chain, why not be a vegan chain? I've been to these in SoCal, and they are what is to be expected: good quality, vegan food freshly and quickly prepared.
Read moreThe salads, sides and appetizers are focused on fake meat and fried items, but, boy are they good. The deep fried portobello mushrooms are fabulous. The fries are among my favorite vegan fries. The desserts are vegan, but nothing gluten free. The food bowls are fun cornucopias of fresh ingredients that are raw, lightly seasoned or roasted. Grains are present but minimal compared to the veggies and proteins.
Most people here tend to get the fake meat burgers and sandwiches, and of course, the nachos. Who doesn't adore nachos?!
Add some sriracha or Mexican hot sauce to your meal, and you're pretty set to go here. Prices are reasonable, and you can box up your items easily with to go boxes at the fixings and beverage bar.
Pros: all vegan, diverse menu, gluten-free marked
Cons: chain, raw-limited

Having been to Veggie Grill's many other locations, I knew what to expect. This was awesome as always. But when are you going to expand to my home town??? Quality was delicious. Kale was yummy. Everything I could hope for. Yum!

Some surprisingly healthy options for fast food... - Edit
The short version is -
Read moreThey've got a variety of faux-meat dishes and other options which are healthier and aren't as heavy. Decent prices, pleasant atmosphere and staff.
See my review of the Seattle location for more details. The Portland and Seattle locations appear to be similar enough to generalize between them.

What? - Edit
I was a bit confused by this place. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it, but felt odd about it.
Read moreI always check menus online before I go somewhere new. This place seemed very commercially fast food like online and it put me off a bit. We were in a rush one night for dinner so we decided to check this place out.
The food was fresh and came out fast. The cashiers were helpful and knowledgeable about the food. I just didn't like the "McDonalds" feel of the restaurant, menus, and décor.
Our food was great. I got to try an interesting vegan seafood burger and my husband had vegan fish tacos for the first time. The kids menu item that we ordered for our son came with huge portions.
While the food was pretty decent, the rest of my experience made it hard for me to want to return. Maybe if I'm in a hurry again I'll try this place. I wouldn't actively seek it out though.
Pros: Decent prices, Good portion sizes, Interesting menu items
Cons: McDonalds feel, Good but not great

Excellent vegan options, friendly and fast service - Edit
We ate here on a short visit to Portland. The staff is very friendly and there are a lot of great vegan options. I had trouble deciding on what to have as it's been a long time since I had so many items to choose from. I chose the Bayou Chickn sandwich, which was great and doesn't have nearly as many calories as you would think for the size and flavor. My mom had an avocado salad, which was also great. We also enjoyed the root beer. The price is very reasonable and the location is clean. This is more of a fast food cafe than formal restaurant; it's great for lunch or dinner.

Really good food in a nice atmosphere - otoh personally I don't like the meat/chicken taste-alike (there are several choices like this).
Read moreAll you can drink tea/limonade beverages, for a single fee.
Food seems to be pre-prepared (very fresh nevertheless), so it's hard to get ingredient changes.

Such a great place! - Edit
I dined here on my way back from Seattle. The menu was great. A variety of healthy fare as well as fried American diner style. The All Hail Kale salad was delicious as well as their Spicy Buffalo Wings with ranch dressing. Mac and cheese was tasty as well as their cookies. Pretty much everything was delicious. You can really put on the calories in this place or eat healthfully depending on your mood. Fantastic modern cafeteria style decor. They even have a self serve area for to go containers. I highly recommend this place if you want quick yummy food. My omni boyfriend really enjoyed this place too.

Set in bustling downtown Portland, the Veggie Grill is a respite that caters to those with discrimating tastes. With a large and varied menu that is pure vegan, there is much to choose from. I had chickn tacos which were tasty and healthy. The staff are a cut above other establishments in their friendly service. I hope to return in my future trips into Portland.

Loved this Place - Edit
My first question to the staff was "What items on the menu are vegan?" I was blown away when she said everything was vegan. Hallelujah! I had the Chik'n tacos and they were delicious. I also had a side of cauliflower with gravy and I loved it. I could eat just that as my main course and been very happy. I also had a bite of the pudding and the carrot cake. Both were fabulous. Vegan food fast and the price is right. Don't miss it.
