First time in Portland. Veggie Grill was literally on the next block from our hotel, Hilton. Food was excellent! My wife had the carne asada burrito and loved it. Texture and flavor of the "meat" was perfect. She ate the whole thing! Rarely happens. I had Assorted tacos, Tejano, Asada and Cauliflower. I was licking my fingers. Spice level was spot on for me, didn't even need the Cholula I brought to the table. So flavorful. Ambiance is typical fast food like. Clean and functional. Lots of seating. Only complaint is we fly out tomorrow. Bring one to Vegas please!! Little competition there! Oh yeah, Greg "manager" was friendly, informative and efficient. read more

I don't live in Portland but have been to veggie grill in previous visits. When I saw that this was 5 stops away from the convention center on the max I made it my first stop for a meal out in Portland. It did not disappoint!! The carrot cake was probably the best I have ever had. The chik'n bacon ranch was amazing!! It was very filling and so tasty. Staff was so helpful in making recommendations. I can't wait to go back. I ate inside and the decor is so whimsical and clever. Very clean dining area. read more

Great fast vegan food with superb ingredients and healthy options. Definitely will return when visiting Portland...truly wish the California locations can be like this with full menu and all the great options! read more

We come here for all special occasions. Birthdays, Mother's Day lunch, just because we're in Portland. Unfortunately it's the closest veggie grill to where we live. I haven't had anything I didn't like. My carnivorous companions were pleasantly surprised they don't hate vegan food or actually love it lol. Friendly staff. Fast service. Yummy food. I love the slogan too!!! read more

Veggie Grill - downtown Portland, OR We're in Pdx for a few days. Sooo many places to try, new and old, so little time lol. While we can eat Veggie Grill in Seattle, tonight we opted for convenience as Veggie Grill is within a few minutes walk of our hotel and I've been jonesing their Pan Seared Salmon protein plate ever since it was first announced but haven't had the chance to stop by Veggie Grill locally. We got a bit carried away with ordering too much, which isn't unusual when going to Veggie Grill lol, it almost seems sacrilegious to go there and not order some variety of Mac and Cheese . Everything was great, VG never disappoints . The cheese bites were great, haven't had them before .. pretty sure it's a relatively new offering. The center was soft and cheesy and nicely balanced with the dipping sauce. The Seared Salmon had a great flavor. If I'm being honest, I didn't find it to be very reminiscent of salmon, there was no flakiness associated with salmon, this dish had more of a vegan spam feel/ texture. This was my observation but it's not intended as a critique, just my objective take. The dish was really good, very flavorful, the color was reminiscent of salmon and there was a subtle but noticeably pleasant seafood-y after-taste on the back end. I have to mention how friendly and personable everyone was. We've always found staff at VG and Next Level to be friendly but everyone tonight just seemed really genuinely approachable and friendly. Kelsey took our order for us and chatting with her really felt like we were in a place where we belonged, a vegan home away from home, an extra touch that was really appreciated. So my recommendation is ... come for the food, come for the camaraderie, and then stay way too long because you're gingerly nursing a food coma from ordering and eating too much . read more

Ordered kimchi steak bowl and green smoothie. Great full menu with variety of options. Ingredients felt high quality and fresh. Flavors were solid. Wish there was more "steak" - felt barely there. The smoothie was filling and delicious! read more

Next Level Veggie Grill - Kimchi "Steak" Bowl - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Still the same after more than a decade since my last visit. Know that just because it's vegetarian doesn't mean it's good for you. The Sonoran Bowl was filling, but it's probably one of their more expensive options. I'd pass on this one. I just didn't feel good after eating. read more

I don't know what it is about the buffalo "chicken" wrap at Veggie Grill but every time I order it I am reminded of just how amazing it is! My go to with an order of sweet potato fries and whatever sauce I want that day. The service is always fast and friendly and the food is top tier. Highly recommend! read more

Damn. This really was a pleasant surprise. I heard that Portland was a Mecca for veganism and vegetarianism. I can see why. It's organic and it's delicious. Yes. The service here was efficient and direct. I knew what I was going to get. Were there crowds?? Nope. It was nice not having a a loud crowd make a bunch of noise The real amazing part was trying something different. You think that oh a regular Buffalo chicken wrap going to be the only good tasting one. Not when you're here. When you make that order, when you get that wrap, you are in for a different experience. Will it 100% replace my like for chicken? Probably not. But it was so worth it. Awesome job! read more

Next Level Veggie Grill - Buffalo Blitz Creamy Jalapeno Slaw - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I love vegan food. A great simple place if you want a nice vegan meal without worrying about animal products. Good service. Clean ambiance.

I just love, love their food here. It has gotten pricier every year (no fun!) however the service is quick and I have always been impressed with the food quality. I love how they have comfort food like fried buffalo chicken wraps, but also more healthy bowls with tempeh. I have eaten here about 200 times, that says it all. I have typically always taken the food to-go and it is always hot and fresh, we are lucky to have such quality! I used to occasionally go to the Beaverton location and the Seattle location - this one by far WINS. read more

I'm not even vegan. I ate here because my wife is, and let me tell you as a carnivore I WAS DECIEVED. I got the Carne Asada taco's. I talked to the manager who explained the meat was seiten. I've heard about it before, but this was the first time actually trying it. I kid you not, it had the texture and taste of meat. Also had the lemonade which was pretty good too. read more

Ok, so I reduced a star from the 5 stars I left for the Cedar Hills location, and I will explain why. This Downtown location doesn't have outdoor seating, yet, according to my friend, it did in the past. Secondly, it doesn't offer the comfortable boothes you will find in Cedar Hills. The chairs are typical, hard, not so comfy chairs. They did appear to have half boothes up top, but that area was unfortunately closed off. I also noticed the back door was boarded up, perhaps there was a burglary? I hope they relocate to the burbs honestly, where looking and paying for parking is a non issue. So on to the food finally. I ordered the Sunrise burger because it's a limited time only offering. I don't like that the burgers come alacart, I feel that fries should come automatically for a $16 vegan burger. While I am not a fan of the beyond burger patty they use if it was by itself (though BB's ground beef vs the patty is better), it's still a 5 star vegan burger because they load it with so much good stuff that all just works so well together! The BB patty alongside the plant based bacon, the plant based cheese, the dressing, the bun (they don't use the crap buns), together it was all sooo super good. Oh and how could I forget the egg!? The egg didn't really have flavor, but it looked like an egg! And it added a different texture since it was prepared sunny side up, so quite runny, not sure how I feel about that either way- Grade A The fish tacos continue to be tasty. You only get 2 small ones because it's an appetizer. I just wish they were also offered in a wheat tortilla, or a tastier corn tortilla. My entire life I've only ever once had a good corn tortilla. They're pretty much the same everywhere. - Grade B My friend had a Chicken Caesars Salad. I mentioned before I don't like their chicken strips. I still don't like their chicken in any form. Too bad because I've liked vegan chicken before. - Grade C- Lastly, I've had a partial change of heart about their Korean steak dish. I liked it when my friend ordered it. But when you have a bite of something, it's not the same as eating all of it. It really is too spicy. While it was ordered with the orange sauce on the side, that wasn't the sauce that was spicy apparently. Most of the spice is in the steak part, and that's the best part! I will ask if it can be made less spicy if possible. - Grade A+ if it can be made less spicy, otherwise C- The Belgian chocolate cake was once again very creamy, rich, and delicious, but I forgot to take a photo this time.- Grade A read more

I forgot how good this place was. It's a great spot for vegan food, whether you're looking for something on the healthier side or want something approximating junk food. The bowls are a good option for the former. I got something that looked like bibimbap complete with a Just Egg (surprisingly authentic). The specials menu also changes pretty regularly. My one gripe is the prices - if you order a protein plate, you're looking at about $25, which is kind of steep for a weekday lunch - inflation notwithstanding. read more

Next Level Veggie Grill - Vegan bowl with blistered cherry tomatoes, Just Egg, butternut squash, kale, mushrooms, and quinoa - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Awesome food! They have a good range of options to cater varied needs: those who want the healthiest, those who want the tastiest, and those who want a balance between both. And the best part is that their tastiest is also quite healthy! I feel that their dishes are operating at the absolute Pareto frontier of food-- hitting that optimal sweet spot where it is no more possible to make the dishes any healthier without sacrificing taste, or any tastier without sacrificing health. read more

Good food, shockingly bad service. They start working on your order after the prior order is completed. Four people working in the kitchen and they can't handle 3 customers. The first thing in your order gets cold while they finish the rest. I went up and asked if I could start on what was done and the employee told me to sit and they would bring it to me. I won't be back. read more

DROOLING just thinking about this place. I don't have one in my town so I have to go when I'm nearby one. Some of the best vegan food I've had over the years. Their "steak" is my husband and I's favorite. Steak tacos, steak quesadilla, yum yum! Go and enjoy. I recommend going with a friend and getting two different things to split! read more

Come here to grab quick meal which is not really quick at all. Lol. Parking street available only. Homeless hanging outside this business and a bit scary. Tsssk. Food: Super Green & Quinoa Salad (no protein) Dressing on The Side - was so good. Tasty and refreshing. Love how they prepare it. The colors in my bowl is so festive! Sweet Potato Fries (chipotle aioli sauce) - my favorite indeed! Light crisp from the outside and love snackin' them while we are driving back to our hotel. Sauce is fantastic, perfect pair for the fries. Crispy Cauliflower in Buffalo Sauce - has a good crisp on it and seasoned well. Love the texture and would definitely order this in here again. Service is slow. They are not that busy at the time and for the few order we put in took them more than 25mins. Would try the other location maybe...

My vegan family of 6 loves Veggie Grill! So many items to choose from and everything from super healthy to junk food cravings can be met here. Best fries anywhere in Portland and we don't have to be grossed out that they were fried with a dead animal. The food is always delicious. read more

Next Level Veggie Grill - Cali Chick'n Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Easy quick vegan fast food with no frills. Ruben Sandwich was just simply good. It had the right portions for a lite lunch. Kale Caesar with Grilled (Gardein) Chicken was full meal in a bowl with a grilled lemon, cause who wants a boring lemon wedge when you can have a charred one? This entrée definitely hit the spot. The side Mac & Cheese completes any meal. It was not super cheesy but had the creaminess. This location is conveniently located downtown for a quick bite. While I won't actively seek out Veggie Grill with so much better places within close vicinity, it is a great option when in a pinch or nearby. read more

One of my friends recommended veggie grill to me about three years ago, and I finally got a chance to try their food for some reason. I didn't think it was plant-based. I thought it was just an old regular degular chick joint, but it wasn't so I gave them a try. At first glance, this place looked like it was condemned because it has plywood on all the windows minus the entry door. The menu mainly consisted of plant-based chicken. I chose the strips, which I thought were decent. They were definitely hot, crispy, and fresh. My only complaint is the flavor. I do think it needs an enhancement but other than that, I will definitely go back and try more options . Also thought the prices were reasonable so not crazy expensive veggie and vegan meals like many other places. read more

Good food and a good place to eat Vegan food. Good location in downtown Portland. I eat here over and over again.

I loved everything about this place. The staff were incredible, and helped me in many ways. Loved the location, environment. Liked it so much that I ate there twice in less than 12 hours. I could live off this place for months. Too bad I'm from out of town. Such a friendly group! read more

I'm an omnivor whoent there with friends hoping to find lots of vegetable dishes with minimum processing. Found a lot of veggi meat sandwiches/burgers served as real meat ones. My crispy chicken sandwich had more crisp than vegie chicken (which was dry and pretty bland). My friend had a "burger" that turned into big crumbs after first bite. I seldomly eat vegetarian meat dishes so don't know how these compare to other veggie food places. The cucumber salad was very good. Inspite of the name I don't think any of the dishes are actually "grilled." Was there at around 6PM on a Saturday with very small crowd. Service was very slow. Not planning on going there again. read more

Never thought I'd be writing a review about cookies getting smaller but here I am.... I've been a long time patron of this business, so maybe that's the problem, but their 3 pack of cookies have been rolled so thin they're practically falling apart when you try to grab one. If you want to give less cookie due to shrinkflation, please just put less cookies in the bag, we never needed a 3 pack, I would be okay with just 1 normal size cookie... but then I guess you wouldn't be able to charge $6 anymore =/ They make these cookies in-house so I'm sure the profit margins were already off the charts, the fact that they're trying to squeeze even more out of it makes me not want to support this business anymore and believe me I have spent thousands on food here but I can recognize bullcrap when I see it and they've really shown their true colors with this one read more

Big menu with lots of options and menu seems to rotate often. All meats are vegetarian. Lots of vegan too. Favorites in our group: Steak burger, add bacon good! Veggie ruben was mellow but good SF chic'n with bacon - good! Zucchini noodles with sausage- very good! Beyond Burger chez steak - good! Bahn mi salad - very good! Roasted broccoli was boring and the mac and chez wasn't a favorite. We will definitely come back and try more, ya know, just to help Yelp readers. Ruben extra kraut dressing side read more

Yum yum yum!! So delicious and wonderful. A++++ would eat their food again. Truffle Mac and Cheese is a winner.

Great food, great people serving, prices are reasonable. Healthy choices. Parking outside is a concern. Walking distance from most hotels.

Meh. The grilled chickn sandwich smelled and tasted mostly like liquid smoke if you know what that stuff is. Far too much tomato and not enough avocado and sprouts. The brioche bun was pretty good but unless they make them in house hard to give credit there. The chipotle aioli that came with the fries was decent. I've had better on all counts. The "large" side of fries that's supposed to come with the sandwich cost me an extra $6.75 which was wild to me. So a sandwich with a side of fries cost me $20+ (a single meal!!) for nothing special and a sandwich I barely could eat! Not to mention it took them an inordinate amount of time for them to make my order. For the cost and the wait not sure if it's worth trying again with a different menu item. read more

Veggie grill is FANTASTIC in person. The tuna melt is the first vegan tuna melt that I felt tasted like a legitimate tuna melt. They also have a ghost kitchen to Mexican food I think. My only issue is that the takeout always has issues. If you go in person you won't face these issues however I do not recommend ordering out. Updated : the customer service team is fantastic!! They saw my review we had a very kind and honest conversation and they wanted to make sure they could make it better. They were so helpful and went above and beyond and I appreciate that! read more
