Vegan Mike is in the top 3% of all vegan restaurants I've had across 5 continents. In my opinion, they are worth more stars than I can assess in terms of taste quality. They serve primarily bar style and fast foods, but with soy-based protein. Although the food is very expensive (ranging from $16-$17), the portion sizes are very generous, and it is well worth every penny. For our meals, we had The Tacos, Chorizo Crunch Wrap, and Chik'n Loko. The Tacos are a set of four with four options, in which they normally split the tacos at a maximum of 2 flavors; however, the server was so kind to make an exception and give us one of each: shrimp, steak, chorizo, and chicken. I did not try the steak; however, you cannot go wrong with any of those options! The Chorizo Crunch Wrap is a vegan powerhouse and was really hard to distinguish whether it was plant-based. The Chorizo Crunch Wrap was the best by a long shot. All of our options seemed to be seasoned to perfection. Also, if you're a person that has a sweet tooth, they also have plenty of desserts such as cookies amongst other items upon request. This place was not really busy. It has a really chill vibe with Spanish acoustics on the speakers and a few TVs for entertainment. I can definitely see this place jumping on a mid-summer day. I will definitely be making a trip here every time I visit Greensboro because this place is a hidden gem. read more

Mike's always tastes great, friendly service. Had a hot dog today, my vegetarian daughter had a shrimp quesadilla. Ate it too fast to take pictures. The cheese steak here is my favorite cheese steak anywhere, and I am not a vegetarian. The restaurant vibe is open and vibrant. Great decor. read more

Mike's Vegan Grill - Photo nook - Vegan Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I have been here a few times as my parents are vegan and it is always a hit! The vibes are so fun with all the games and cool decor. The only thing was the same 5 or 6 songs played over and over and over, so that got a little stale but otherwise it is such a cool joint. The employees are always upbeat and so so kind! They truly seem to enjoy their job and the people who come in! The food is so good, as someone who isnt vegan I can appreciate a place that strives for really delicious food that can serve both vegan and non vegan. This time around I got one of their hot dogs and it was soooo good. Perfectly mimicked a hot dog. The fries were crisp, although I will say the portion size on those was disappointing. But otherwise a great time! read more

So picture this: it's my lunch break, I'm hungry-hungry, but also trying to give my body a break from meat (my stomach was probably cheering). I stroll into Mike's Vegan Grill, not 100% vegan myself, but I dabble. Yes, it's a little on the pricey side... but when they slid me TWO "chicken" patties on my sandwich, I forgave them instantly. That vegan protein was hitting. The fries? Hot, fresh, and gone in 2.5 seconds. I also ordered a strawberry lemonade--forgot all about it in my rush, but the staff literally chased me down in the parking lot to hand it to me. MVP move. The vibes? Chill. Spacious, not crowded, a little music, and I even got some nice flower-wall photos to prove I "eat clean." Didn't dine in fully, but they've got a cozy side area that worked just fine. All in all: great quality food, thoughtful service, and a go-to spot I'd proudly drag my vegan brother from Philly to. If you're looking for comfort vegan food with real flavor (and bonus staff cardio when you forget your drink), this is it. read more

I loved the huge menu of options and it was delicious. The service was great and it was a quirky little spot. It looked like a remodeled Wendy's on the outside but the inside was pretty cozy and had fun neons. You could easily enjoy that menu for about a week without trying the same thing twice. read more

I love that I cannot remember what this restaurant used to be because Mike's Vegan Grill is in the perfect location. There is a very welcoming ambiance when you enter, with Good Vibe signs and pleasant music playing. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and given enough time to look everything over prior to ordering. And when you're there, you'll notice that you cannot smell the food. Like there's no overpowering grease smell or fried food smell, it's just a clean atmosphere. I will preface my review by saying that I am absolutely not vegan, I'm not vegetarian, I just wanted a cleaner eating option this day. I ordered the Carolina Burger, the Philly Cheesesteak Rolls and a side of fries and it only took about 10 minutes to get my food. I had to eat on the go but if anybody saw me, in my car, eating this burger, you'd think I'd be embarrassed by the way I was eating. With the ample chili and coleslaw topping, this burger was big and filling. Whatever the special sauce was on that burger, I could drink it. I knew it wasn't meat, you can tell it's vegan, but there was no meat missed in this dish at all. The fries tasted clean and less processed, with good seasoning on them. The Philly cheesesteak rolls were the best, that would've been the less messy dish to eat on the go. The dish came with 3, long, fried-filled egg rolls and a side of dipping sauce. They were cheesy, filling Philly rolls, that would rival some of the non-vegan options in the area. I will definitely be back, I hear their chick'n sandwich is worth another visit! read more

First, the atmosphere of this place was very refreshing! It's so cute and welcoming. A great place to eat - I did takeout. I got the shrimp po boy and fries and it tasted amazing. I've been wanting a po boy forever and it's the main thing I miss when I became a vegetarian. This got my fix in without a doubt. The fries were good and not severely greasy. Most restaurants overly grease vegetarian food at times and these are seasoned to perfection. The soft serve was my fav. They use oat milk and it was great to enjoy soft serve without it hurting my stomach. Now, the mango lemonade was EVERYTHING , it was the highlight. The customer service was also exceptional. Chris and Ric were personable, took my order quickly and made my food quickly as well. A hidden gem in Greensboro that is on my list now! read more

Mike's was great! We got buffalo wings (some of the best I've had -- your regular soy drumsticks we know and love, but breaded for an extra crispy touch). The sauce was great and I'd like to try their other flavors next. We also got a buoy honey pepperoni pizza and wow - the pepperoni was very realistic and the hot "honey" added a nice touch. The crust was a bit more like a frozen pizza but still no complaints here. I highly recommend stopping in!! It's on a commercial strip, so not the cutest area, but the building stands out with its a-frame build and bright green paint. You can tell they put a lot of time and thought into the curb appeal and it looks great. Also clean and bright inside. It seemed slow at 7pm the Saturday before Christmas, but maybe they mainly do takeout? We did get takeout. It was ready exactly when we requested for it to be and staff was nice. We were bummed to hear the bathroom was out of order since we were on a 5 hour drive, but things happen! read more

Let me say that I am not vegan, but the food at this place is terrific! I always get the same thing, the what the cluck sandwiches and they are loaded with toppings, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes special sauce, pickles on a nicely toasted bun. When they were the food truck, I was stuck on the hotdogs which are great as well and of course, the seasoned fries which I sometimes ask for light seasoning. They are a little pricey but do yourself a favor and check this place out regardless of your food preferences. read more

If you are close to Greensboro - put Mike's Vegan in your GPS and go NOW!! For my Greensboro folks - this is located at the old Ghassan's on West Gate City Blvd. Mike's is conveniently located next to the Coliseum. From the moment we entered we were cheerfully greeted by the servers. They were VERY patient and offered great recommendations! I did the Steak and Cheese with sweet potato fries while the sister did the BBq special which came with free fries and a drink. The food was soooooo Amazing!!! And the owner stopped in - sat down and chatted with us for about 15mts - and you know I had to get a pic. He just purchased the old strip club next to them and they are currently renovating same. He has some great ideas and I can't wait to see them come to fruition. read more

My gf and I stopped to eat at Mike's Vegan Grill on a road trip through North Carolina. There were many options we considered ordering as much of the menu looked tasty, and after much deliberation we went with the Philly cheesesteak and an order of their fiesta fries and we very much enjoyed our meal! The food at Mike's is more what I would consider vegan fast food, however every once in a while, vegan fast food is exactly what one needs, and Mike's definitely hit the spot! Next time we're in town we'll definitely be back! Would recommend! read more

This place has so many options. It's a vegan comfort food spot for me. Not something to eat all the time but it's really good. Traffic was flowing at the Greensboro restaurant on a Friday evening so it seems well supported, which is great. I didn't care for the quesadilla as it kinda had an aftertaste or fake meat taste. I've had the hotdog and loaded fries when I stopped at the food truck when it was in Raleigh years ago. read more

I've been craving a good burger but I wasnt in the mood for meat today. So I went to Mike's to try the Carolina burger. It was just the satisfaction I needed. The burger was juicy, messy and flavorful just like I like it. And it tasted no different from a regular burger. It took about 15 minutes to get my food which wasn't bad since there was a large party. The restaurant had plenty of seating and cute little seated coves for privacy. read more

Mike's Vegan Grill - Carolina Burger - Vegan Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I convinced my husband to stop and eat here while we were in Greensboro. The restaurant was decorated nicely with a forest or plant theme to coordinate with their 100% plant based ingredients. Hubby ordered the classic burger with cheese fries. He Thoroughly enjoyed it, but wished the patty was char grilled to add some texture. I had the Carolina burger and I was also looking for char grilled flavor and texture. I also wished the onions were a bit stronger. But overall The flavor was there!! Definitely go give them a try! Be prepared to pay more than a typical burger joint, but i think it's worth it. You won't leave feeling over stuffed and bloated. I promised my sister I would bring her here on her next visit to the triad. I'll definitely grab a hot dog next time. read more

My cousin and I had just arrived in town and was looking for a nice vegan restaurant in the area so that we could have something to eat before going to the GHOE step show at the Greensboro Coliseum. We searched Google to get some suggestions and came across this restaurant. We decided to try it out as it was about four minutes or less from the Coliseum. The outside of the building is painted in green and black which provided a fun and inviting look. The interior also has a fun and calming vibe. Upon entering, we were greeted by the cashier, Alex, in a friendly and professional manner. We both ordered identical meals: vegan Philly cheesesteak with fries and a mango lemonade. We were given an order number to place on the table as we were dining in. We walked around to find a table that was cleaned. One of the reasons why I am giving this restaurant 4 stars and not 5 stars is because there were a few tables that were not yet cleaned off. The one we ended up choosing was the cleanest of those other ones, but it still needed to be wiped off which Alex was happy to do. Our food came out in a timely manner. The fries were good, but there were a good bit of burnt ones in there. Alex was kind enough to give us a replacement of fries after being notified of this. The Philly cheesesteak was absolutely scrumptious! The bread was soft and moist, and the meat substitute was seasoned perfectly. The onions, peppers, and special sauce really brought it altogether in a burst of wonderful flavors in my mouth. I truly enjoyed this cheesesteak and was wishing that I had ordered one to go as well. I was impressed by the quality, quantity, and taste of this cheesesteak. I would absolutely go back there to try it again the next time that I am in town. The homemade mango lemonade was also really good. It was a bit expensive though, $7.00. The bathroom looked and smelled clean. This vegan spot was definitely a great find. It was moderately priced though. For a sandwich, fries, and a drink, the cost was about $25 - $26. Although this restaurant is costly, the delicious tasting food makes it worth it. I will definitely return! read more

OH MY G O S H! If you're looking for vegan comfort food, this is it. We ordered the fiesta fries, crunch wrap and the patty melt and.... a strawberry shake for dessert. Everything was soooo good! Any "traditional " eater would love this food. The menu was much more extensive than I thought after finding this place on Yelp. We had too many choices and I wanted to try everything. The pizza looks and sounds amazing too. They do a collab with Pizza Paradise in NC. I am only here for a couple of days so getting to try everything is almost impossible without making myself sick! The service is fast and friendly. This place is so fun and inviting. And NO animals had to suffer so we could eat! read more

Mike's is an oasis for vegans and vegetarians! The food is delicious, generous portion, and hot! Both the hot dog and chik sandwich were prepared just for us which was great. They brought our order out to us! We sat outside with our dog. Mike's has picnic tables and the dogs can rest on astroturf instead of concrete or dirt! How cool! We just loved the strawberry and watermelon lemonades!! So refreshing and not too sour. My husband went back for a shake - so chocolatey! Will definitely go back when we are in or passing through!!

Charlotte had a little bit of damage from Hurricane Helene on Friday, so our first two choices of places to eat were not open. A quick Google search led us to Mike's Vegan Grill, and while they didn't answer their phone, we decided to check them out anyway to see if they were open. It's a bit hard to find, and the directions in the parking lot didn't help much, but it paid off well for us. The patty melt was excellent, and so was the Nashville fried chicken sandwich. The chicken tenders were also good, and the cheese fries were great. Also really good were the soft-baked chocolate chip cookies and the Oreo milk shake, which was so thick that you could've held it upside down for 90 seconds and not spilled a drop. A big menu, too. I would've loved to have tried the bratwurst and one or two of their specialty hot dogs. Loved Mike's, and if I'm in Charlotte again, this'll be my first stop. read more

I am not from here. I used to go to college here (shout out to my alma mater-NCA&T) and while passing through, I learned the old Ghassan's (yes, that's how long it's been since I lived in Greensboro) is now a vegan spot. Think comfort food that just so happens to be vegan--that's what Mike's is like. The ambiance is quirky but cool and the staff is well, harder to quantify. We ordered, they took our order but there was no banter, so I can't speak on their customer service. But the food..wow! It is amazing. I got The Carolina dog and my husband got the Philly cheesesteak. I have never been so mad. I took one bite of that cheesesteak and I was mad I had JUST a hotdog! The dog was flavorful, topped with all the classic toppings of a true Carolina dog (and if you know, you know that is a dog with coleslaw), but it paled in flavor to the Philly. I will be honest, it was NOT made like a traditional Philly. Instead, it was peppers, onions, and Beyond Beef seasoned and served on soft bun. It taste more like a loose hamburger. And whatever it was not, it was HANDS DOWN the best sandwich I have had in a long time. I know this, when I go back (and I'm definitely returning) I'm going to order TWO of those sandwiches! read more

Took a trip to Greensboro just to check out this spot! I live in CLT and have been trying to catch this truck for years! It's a beautiful building inside and out. The food is 10/10 and tbh, I am quite sad I haven't experienced this food sooner. The flavor profile of everything is amazing and spot on for what it's representing. Greeted as soon as I walked through the door. Mike was so welcoming, attentive and patient. A lot of times being vegan and going to a vegan spot you get overwhelmed with all the options He also recommended a smoothie which I tried and omgggg. Literally so refreshing and yummy. I didn't wanna spoil the inside too much bc I think everyone should check it out for themselves. It's decorated so nicely and has different spaces for photos and whatnot. Can't wait to go back. Thank you! read more
