guilt free and so consistent. Every single time I've ordered from here they make my pick up so quick and easy. Portions are generous and food prep is clean and neat. Workers are friendly and hard working. I wish they had a drive thru!!! I'd come here way more often. Lately it's been like twice a week... haha read more

Had a nice quick lunch here. Lots of choices. Service was ok. Lots of processed plant based food but several choices of salads. Many organic options. Whole family could find something delicious. Fake chicken was not as good as the tofu items. Hard to find parking. read more

My partner and I have been regulars here, visiting about once a month for the past year. The food has been consistently delicious, and the app's Rewards and BOGOs keep us coming back for more! The convenience of placing an order that's served within a few minutes is a huge plus. The food here never disappoints. Our go-to is the nachos, which get better each time, or I'm hungrier than last time! They're a fantastic shareable dish. Some of our past orders have included the Caesar salad with crispy chicken, the Maverick Burger, the Quesadilla, and recently, the Sunrise Burger, which was a delightful addition to our list of favorites. There is always ample seating. It appears that many of their orders are pick-up or to-go, but this doesn't affect the quality of the food. What's best is that the entire menu is plant-based! As 20-plus-year vegetarians, this is a paradise for us. The variety of options, the casual ambiance, the periodic menu changes, and the app's fantastic rewards program make this place a must-visit. read more

For awhile, I've seriously considered being a 'Flexitarian.' A 'Flexitarian' is someone who occasionally eats meat and fish, but primarily eats vegetables. The first Veggie Grill I've been to was the Sunset location. I was enamored by the vegetarian menu and items I've discovered from this restaurant were incredible. That was years ago, and suddenly Veggie Grill changed their menu, and I didn't enjoy it anymore so I stopped coming to Veggie Grill. Today, I decided to come here and see what's new. Immediately, I noticed the 'Reuben' and bought it for me and my brother. I asked if the vegan cheese was healthy, and the cashier told me it was made of coconut oil, so I asked them to hold the vegan cheese. Took it home, and I was amazed. The top 4 Cornbeef Reuben's I've had: 1) Gelsinger's meat & deli 2) Langers 3) Canters 4) Veggie grill. Veggie Grill's 'Reuben' seemed so real, I was genuinely shocked that it was vegan. Trust me, come here and try the Reuben. read more

Veggie grill is a great place for plant based meal options. I ordered from here quite a bit over the past couple of years and always love their food items. I personally love their bowls and salads. They rotate in new items seasonally which is always fun and adds variety. They also have a really good drink options and The food always seems well made and prepared. The prices are on par with other restaurants or cafés with plant-based options. It's definitely somewhere I like to go but more when I am ordering delivery. The parking situation can be tricky sometimes and it isn't somewhere I personally would go out of my way for. When I ordered through door dash, the delivery came pretty quickly (only about 30 minutes from when I placed the order). read more

During the pandemic, Veggie Grill has been offering a family deal bundle that included 4 entrees (sandwich, salad, bowl) and a choice of 1 starter or 2 sides. For a price of 40 dollars, it's an incredible deal, and my family enjoyed it often. I felt pretty safe as the staff were wearing masks properly and the pickup process after ordering online was fast and easy. Food: My favorite from Veggie Grill is the Far Eastern bowl, which is so delicious that I forget I'm eating healthy. The rueben and deli sandwiches were pretty close to the real thing imo so it's a good way to start a more plant based diet. The only negative is that portions have been getting smaller the last few times I've gone and I'm not sure if it's a permanent trend or just a different employee. Price: Pretty affordable, especially for vegan food in Pasadena. Ambiance: N/A because of Covid. Tldr: overall solid place for vegan food with affordable prices and convenient online ordering. read more

First bad review I have made. But we had Horrible service and did not get what we ordered. They screwed up the order originally and then had absolutely no urgency to resolve the issue. Expect your food to be served at Glacier pace and then simply hope they will get it right the first time. They took one hour to finally get my grandsons kids meal to him (and other corrections. No apologies from the service team. No manager in sight (or anyone accountable). Chef was slow to resolve or cook the corrected order. How hard is a kids burger?? read more

I am still a fan and supporter of veggie grill as this is the only chain that took meatless to a chain concept. They have such a diverse quick service menu of meatless items to choose from. I really like their Cajun fish (not so fish) sandwich and also their taco salad. Super friendly staff and a mobile app loyalty program as well. I hope that veggie grill continues to grow its consumer base as a non meat qsr chain they definitely have refined it to roll out nationally - I hope that more people give them a try as an alternate dining experience. read more

Terrible service. They accepted my order by phone, I arrive 30 minutes later and it was not ready bc they were not sure about one item. They could have called me. They took my number. Then it was another 20 minutes. I had to leave for an appt, I came back 45 minutes later for cold food and no apology. I told the girl who took my call she could have called me and she said "I understand." No sorry, no compensation. I love veggie grill but definitely not going here again. read more

Veggie Grill has some GREAT vegetarian options. I decided to go Vegetarian (just for the first month of the year) JAN 2021! I mean... Why not? Switch things up, eat a little healthier, plus be a little more considerate of the animal lives that contributes to keeping us fed. Anyways! Not to get too philosophical, but MY POINT IS... even before going vegetarian mode I would come here regardless and get a delicious masala curry bowl with delicious crispy chikin (vegan chicken substitute). Dude! It's good! Makes me not miss meat if all food was as good as that (or the impossible burger)... Anyways, as of late I've only gotten takeout here cuz of.. you know.. covid-19. Love this area and the general neighborhood in Pasadena. read more

I ordered the Far East Bowl to-go from Veggie Grill today. The employee at the register was friendly and very insightful when I asked him a few questions about the menu! The only issue for me was the food. The bowl had broccoli, but the menu said it would come with broccolini. This was a bit disappointing at first, but the broccoli was tasty so it ended up not mattering to me. There was very little sauce in the bowl, which made it quite dry. I was digging to see if there might be more sauce, and I found an old French fry in the middle of my bowl... which was gross. I want to give veggie grill the benefit of the doubt because I've had much better experiences at their other locations. read more

I came on a promotion of BOGO entree, but failed to bring my friend in. I'm not sure whether this was a show stopper for me, but with COVID-19 and Omicron circulating, I really don't feel comfortable dining out and staying in a restaurant. The food is wholesome enough, but their artificial meats fall apart in the salads, so the texture appearance may be one thing, but it needs to keep together within a salad, let alone a sandwich or burger. I wish they would offer vegetables grille, such as eggplant, potatoes, zucchini or other other root plants to make a delicious hot vegetable dish that can be added to a meal or eaten alone. read more

My friend raved about this place for the longest so I finally decided to try. I had the bulgogi beef bowl and my friend and I shared the buffalo wings. I loved the buffalo wings; it tastes like the real deal! Of course, the texture is completely different since it looks like fish sticks, but it sure was tasty. The bulgogi in the bowl was a bit on the chewy side; the flavor was ok, but too chewy for me. I did like the sides that it came with: roasted Brussels sprouts, cauliflower rice and chopped pickled cucumbers. I was a bit disappointed because they also missed a couple items in that dish (according to the menu). They forgot the roasted tomatoes and the green onions in my dish. Hmm. Accidents happen, I suppose. There is a parking lot behind the building with plenty of spots and you can also park on the front side on Lake Ave. Overall, I'd definitely give this place another try. read more

Another week, another meal at Veggie Grill. Tried out something new this time, the Chili Dog Plate. Basically comes with a chili dog, potato salad & cole slaw. Initially I was already quite happy for the portion of the meal. Just because for the price compared to other items I've had here, it's cheaper so I thought the meal was going to really small. But glad it was a fair portion. Chili dog is a solid chili dog, has enough flavor & "meaty" enough to work for meat eaters. I liked the poppy seed bun but wanted more mustard. Only real flaw being it was not warm at all. It was a Postmates order, but even so I thought it'd be just a little warm. Potato salad & cole slaw were better than I'd thought. They appeared very "mayoey" but did did not come off that way. Cole slaw is little on the sweeter side but seasoned well. Potato salad is much lighter seasoned & has a pretty chunky relish mixed in giving it a crunch. I usually get a burger here as well as the nachos, but I'd definitely get this meal again as well. read more

You can't go wrong with Veggie Grill! It's a great place to satisfy those cravings without feeling guilty about hurting animals:) I'm always happy with what I order and this time I thought I'd try something new! I ordered the Sonoran bowl with sweetheart (sweet potato) fries. The bowl has a A LOT of quinoa and I don't think I was expecting that. Next time, I'll stick with my usually Santa Fe Crispy Chikin' and the taco salad! Also, I recommend you download the app because occasionally you'll get a $5 reward card! Plus, points tend to rack up quickly and you'll be on your way to rewards sooner than you think! read more

My coworkers and I were really busy but we decided to grab a quick lunch across the street. One of them recommended this place because they've previously tried it. When I first saw the menu I was surprised to find "meat". She informed me that they were vegetarian substitutes but still tasted great. She recommended either getting a bowl or burger. I went with the Santa Fe crispy chicken sandwich which came with a side of fries ($11.99). The sandwich was pretty good, but because of the avocado and chipotle sauce, the chicken kept slipping out of the bun. Next time, I'll definitely try a bowl instead (bulgogi). If you're an avid veggie grill customer, I suggest getting the app because for every $99 spent, you get $9 back. read more

Thankful for the Veggie Grill! Love the variety of vegan options, multiple locations. and outdoor seating.

A friend and I ordered and split the Santa Fe chicken sandwich ($10.95) and the Nashville hot chicken ($11.25). The Santa Fe seems to be their most popular one and I liked both but would probably prefer the Nashville hot chicken a bit more because I think it has more flavor. I'm a carnivore through and through but sometimes I like to venture out. It's not like real chicken but it's still good. There's a private lot but it's always packed as it shares the lot with a lot of other restaurants. It can get pretty frustrating waiting for someone to leave and competing with other cars so walk if you can. read more

Friend recommend this place and I went with my wife today and what a HOT mess!!!!!! Place is extremely hot with clearly AC issues and multiple leks coming from the ceiling while the food was lacking freshness.

Won't be visiting again if ownership clearly doesn't step up and get the staff help and fix the place up. read more

Due to the ongoing C19 pandemic we decided to order our Thanksgiving dinner instead of preparing a large meal for the whole family. We ordered the 4 pot pie package which comes all set up so you can bake and heat up everything before serving. It was perfectly packaged and instructions were included. We enjoyed the food but a few of our guests didn't finish the pot pie so it was a split on the delicious level. Do a yelp check in and you'll receive an over sweetened cookie. read more

I'm just happy there's a lot of these around Cali. They make it easy to get vegan grub in a pinch. The item that has my outmost respect is their in-house quinoa burger. It's just perfect but never enough so I usually get the nachos (they're ok,good) and the Buffalo wing (basic, ranch needs to improve). Their drinks are some of the best in the game: hemp matcha, lavender lemonade, and watermelon mint are my favs. Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer read more

Came here with very little expectations since I'm not vegetarian and I there were a lot of options in the area Really surprised by the quality and flavors the food had.

Let me start off by saying I am a fan of Veggie Grill, however their customer service tonight was not it. Went in and ordered buffalo-style wings to go. Unfortunately I was in a hurry to get to my online class, that I did not check the order. Once I got home, I noticed that there was a mistake and I had just received sweet potato fries. Since I had already stressed ate all day because of the election, I really needed to eat some type of food other than snacks and fries, I went back to fix the order. Although nice, they did not even seemed concerned about the mistake, didn't offer anything (even took the fries back) and when I got home, the wings were cold and soggy. I don't live that far but at that point, I didn't feel like going back. Truly disappointed. read more

Seriously one of my favorite vegan places ever. I know it's scary for millennials to admit that a commercial chain restaurant can be one of their faves, but THIS PLACE IS GOLD. My favorite dish here is by far the Quinoa Power Bowl with Blackened Tempeh. I love knowing how many calories I'm eating, and feeling great about them. The tempeh is crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Each bite of the salad itself feels like I'm becoming more and more Snow White. And although the portions look huge, it makes for a heart satisfying meal. You can probably make 2 meals out of some of the bowls, but most only look sizeable because veggies take up a lot of space. One dish I wasn't that huge of a fan of was the Adobo Chicken Bowl. The sauce wasn't as sweet as I thought. It bordered on the sour side. I wasn't crazy about the sides that came with it either. And as a person who usually LOVES soy chicken, I wasn't a huge fan of this one either. I'd skip this dish and go straight for the Summer Celebration Salad if you're looking at getting something seasonal. I'm definitely coming back. Again and again and again. read more

I've never had a bad experience ever at any of the Veggie Grill and that is no exception here. When you walk in, check out the menu and seasonal offerings. Then you walk to the counter and order your food and pay. You are then handed a sign with a number and you find your seating. Don't worry about utensils and stuff, they will bring it to you when they bring you your food. Drinks are free flowing. I love their iced teas. NOM! Side note: Did you know Veggie Grill is also vegan? :D Parking can be tough, but it's Pasadena. There's usually street parking or parking in the lot on the side/rear. Great for a "fast food" type of place. $ read more

The people that work here need to be a little better at their job. When I received my meal on April 30th, I realized that I was missing an item, when I got home. (Girl with the purple hair packed my food). I immediately called the store back and notified them about this mishap. The guy who answered the phone asked "what do you want me to do about it?" And I asked for store credit. He said this was possible and he took my information down and said that the next time I come in, I get a free meal. I was not able to take down his name since he seemed so busy and hung up right away. Today, June 3rd, I return to the store and asked about my store credit. The manager said that they no longer do store credits through the phone. They now send it over via mail. So unfortunately, until I receive that mail, I am down one meal and I paid for my meal today. After waiting a while, the people who have come after have received their meals. Their names were called so I assumed my name for my pick up would be called. NO ONE EVER CALLED MY NAME SO I HAD TO WALK UP TO THE EXPO AREA. Not a single one of the workers acknowledged my existence til I asked for my order. To top it off, I now see that I paid almost $7 for this order of Brussels Sprouts which had like 7 pieces. Will I ever return? MAYBE. JUST TO CLAIM MY FREE MEAL IF I EVER EVEN GET IT. It is really unfortunate because I live down the street and I highly enjoy their food. I believe the girl who took my order was Kindra. She's the only nice one there. read more
