    Oreo Cheesecake
    Parita A.

    Veggie Galaxy is always a win. Every meal here feels comforting and reliable, especially with how many eggless options they have, it makes ordering so easy. Tried the pancake for the first time and it was so good. Light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. Pro tip: order a savory dish and add a single pancake on the side for something sweet. Best of both worlds. Staff is friendly and quick, and the food is consistently yummy.

    Veggie Galaxy completely blew me away. I'm vegetarian (and usually pretty picky about vegan substitutes), but this place nailed every single dish we tried. We came for brunch and ordered the vegan eggs Benedict, a chocolate chip pancake, the vegan biscuits and gravy, and their wild vegan chicken sandwich that uses mac-and-cheese waffles as the "bread." Yes, it's exactly as insane and amazing as it sounds. The vegan Benedict was rich and comforting without being heavy, and the chocolate chip pancake was perfectly fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. The biscuits and gravy tasted like true comfort food--super flavorful, no weird aftertaste that some vegan gravies have. But honestly, the mac-and-cheese waffle chicken sandwich stole the show. It's one of those dishes you try once and immediately start planning when you can come back for it again. Service was friendly, the vibe was super cute, and the whole menu is creative in a way that doesn't feel gimmicky--it's actually delicious. If you're in Boston and want vegan brunch that goes way beyond "just okay," Veggie Galaxy is a must. I loved it.

    Veggie Galaxy has been on my list of restaurants to visit for a while. My boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner and got some plates to share. The food came out very quickly after we ordered and the waitress was quite nice. The food was very good. The mac and cheese itself was delicious but the "pepperoni" was very plain in taste. I would definitely get the mac and cheese again, but without the pepperoni. The sandwich and burgers were also very good. You get a lot of food for what you pay for so it's a great place to go if you're very hungry.

    My partner and I have gone here so many times we've lost count. It is easily our favorite restaurant. We would recommend this place to anyone. Great service, great food, and a cool diner vibe. Ps. Try the Mac and cheese bites, they're delicious!

    House-made Carrot Cake
    Jeff K.

    One of the top vegetarian spots I've eaten at. Lots of options and combinations are insane. Had: Far east with chicken (9/10) Pesto Chik'n Parm sand (10/10) Carrot cake (7.5/10) Chocolate Chip cookies (6/10)

    One of my favorite places to bring out-of-town guests for a decadent and filling vegetarian meal. Breakfast all day, smoothies, burgers, and more are all excellent! They even hold your luggage for you while you dine.

    We came here to try their vegan food. This place serves eggs and dairy cheese, so it's vegetarian, but it appears that anything can be made vegan. We got the Mac 'N Stack with potato salad and the Buffalo Chicken Burger, substituting with fries. It was served well and tasted good! This place is essentially a veggie diner, which was cool. The restaurant staff were attentive and friendly. There is plenty of seating inside and there appears to be a patio area outside as well. Although we didn't get dessert, we saw others get some and it looked awesome! (Confetti cake!) I would recommend this place.

    Loaded waffle fries
    Jessica R.

    Had an amazing brunch here last weekend with my family! We had a pretty large group that included a couple of kids and thankfully they do a fantastic job of catering to children's tastes. There are truly dishes for everyone here! And even better, everything on the menu can be made vegan, with many vegans default vegan. We started with some loaded fries for the table, which was such a hit. We all couldn't stop raving about the homemade vegan queso sauce which was so creamy and luscious along with the meaty bites. The waffle fries were very crispy and perfectly salted. I ordered my go to stuffed French toast which is such a fun and unique dish with its decadent cream cheese filling and covered in a lovely berry mixture and airy coconut whipped cream. I also tried some of my niece's Nutella waffle which was spectacular. Their homemade hazelnut butter is so rich and chocolatey, I never would have guessed it was vegan! Since I wanted something boozy, I got a their boozy frappe which was a mixture of sherry, coconut ice cream and chai spice. It was so decadent and left me feeling warm and gleeful! We also got a cake to go, which was fittingly just as amazing as everything we had at the diner! The service was so friendly and prompt! The ambiance was also lovely with classic diner booths and was comfy and cozy! Parking was pretty easy at nearby meters and there's some public lots a couple of blocks away!

    Braised brisket and latkes
    Dennis M.

    It has been a few years since I went back to Veggie Galaxy. In that time new owners, menu and staff. Walking out I yelled to the kitchen "Betta than ever". Service which used to be pokey was speedy and polite, especially by Boston standards. Drinks came out quickly and perfectly. The tea I ordered was loose and in a tea ball and the water was just hot enough. Appetizers were Brussel sprouts, well grilled and yet not over cooked. We also got the tator tots that were amazing -- crispy! I had the Blue Plate Special, a Chanukah plate -- braised brisket (really seitan) with two latkes and veggies. I could have eaten 6 of the latkes. My son had a veggie burger and devoured it. The ambiance was professional but chill. Very Cambridge -- in all the good ways. Better than ever -- do go early as they do not accept reservations.

    Buffalo fingers or something
    Cristopher R.

    These buffalo chicken finger things are the best. Would have went back the next day if it hadn't been for my schedule. The fact that it's cruelty free just makes it better. Will come back my next trip to Massachusetts!

    Came hungry, ate down. The vibe is crazy space vegetable go on an adventure to become meat - basically fun old space diner ambiance!! So fun! The bathroom is a really unsettling bright green so don't come here for the bathroom come for the food, though it was clean dw - service was so nice and they were all very friendly!! Gave us good suggestions for our indecisive group so that was helpful, was lit epic and they were so chill with us sitting for a whilee, a must go if you are veggie or not veggietarian! After all our meat eater friend (who literally eats a stack of 20 ham deli slices in every meal) enjoyed the fake meat to good extent!

    Cauliflower tacos
    Camsie M.

    My vegan husband stopped by for a "life changing vegan cheesecake slice" and said they were so friendly we had to go back. So glad we did! Eric was indeed so friendly. And the food was amazing. I loved my green omelette and my husbands cauliflower tacos were so yummy. Cute interior and great vibe. I'd be a regular if I lived here.

    Banana pancakes (short stack), seitan sausage, and blood orange hibiscus iced tea
    Christine Hemler S.

    What a find! Veggie Galaxy has the best banana pancakes - Jack Johnson would approve. They were fluffy and crisp on the edges and served with caramelized banana and whipped coconut cream. No syrup needed. Just what I needed after an early flight. My server Hannah was great, and she turned me on to the seitan sausage (made in-house). Slightly dry and definitely better while hot, but well-spiced and tasty. Highly recommend whether you're vegetarian/vegan or not!

We ordered through uber eats; it is only available through a delivery food app. We got our order so fast and when we took the lids off the containers, the mac and cheese was still so hot, it was steaming! We got the original mac, the spicy mac, and an order of homemade chips. The original mac sauce was out of this world! It was so creamy and so delicious, I will definitely be getting it again. The spicy mac came with crushed chips and crackers to sprinkle on top. The mac was okay, the sauce wasn't too spicy but it had a flavor that I wasn't a huge fan of. When I order again, I want to try several of their other kinds of mac. We also got the homemade chips, and they were seriously one of the best homemade chips I have ever had. They were so crispy and thick and had the perfect amount/flavor of seasoning. Getting a side order of the chips is a must!

    I was lucky enough to stumble upon The Mac Bar from following a Boston based food influencer on…read moreInsta. We decided to order two types of mac and cheese on a Saturday night in December for takeout. I noticed upon following The Mac Bar on Insta that they were offering the perfect mac combo right up my alley- meatball mac! Upon looking at the menu, I did not see it as an option (with the extensive list of other ones!) I DMed the Mac Bar's insta and within 20 minutes not only had they responded to me, but had also changed the menu so you could order the meatball mac. We ordered online- my boyfriend ordered the buffalo mac and I opted, obviously, for the meatball mac. The pickup was easy and prompt. Both macs were amazing. The portions were ginormous (we had leftovers for lunch the next day) and the packing kept the mac fresh even when we drove it home. The buffalo mac had a great buffalo flavor with delicious breaded chicken on top. It comes with blue cheese normally but we requested it on the side. The meatball mac was awesome- the meatballs were flavorful, the pesto drizzle was a delicious touch, and the mac and cheese was creamy and savory. I think sometimes with all the combinations of flavors created with mac and cheese you sometimes lose the taste and quality of the actual mac and cheese, but this was definitely not the case here. The mac and cheese was still the star of each dish with each add on as a nice flavor booster. Fantastic customer service, heaping portions, and honestly the best mac and cheese I've had in Boston- hands down. The Mac Bar will be a new staple in my take out rotation for sure!

The restaurant allows you to build your own bowl with a wide variety of pastas, veggies, protein, seafood, salad, sauces and seasoning. After building your bowl, you bring it to the giant grill in the middle where your meal is cooled in front of you. You can make tacos, quessasillas, burgers and steak and cheese sandwiches. There is such a wide variety of foods for even the pickiest eater. I'm sad that they have closed so many locations over the years but glad this one is still around. We were taken care of by Mikayla who had such a bubbly personality. If you join their VIP club, you get all kinds of perks and discounts. We went for lunch on a Friday around 2pm which was great timing. We missed the lunchtime rush and beat th3bdinner rush so the turnaround for food was really quick. They have a full bar and also have a monthly drink special for $5. This month it was the mango mai tai. It's a very casual place which is great for groups. It was pretty quiet during our visit.

I…read moreremember being amazed watching them cook our selected meals on the big grill in the middle of the restaurant . I remember being happy to just try different things. So since I was in the area, I decided to take my child so she could also experience what I experienced as a child. The problem is, I may have selected the worst day to take her. When we entered, there's a sign that tells you to go upstairs to the host to be seated so we proceeded up the stairs to the top floor, where the main restaurant is. When you walk into the second floor, the hosts were already there, waiting at the podium to sit people. I was informed that there was too large big group of school aged children coming in and that my daughter and I would not be able to sit on the second floor, where the grill is, however, we can sit downstairs and would have to keep going up and down the stairs whenever we needed to grab anything to eat. I was OK with leaving and coming back another day however, my daughter being excited and wanting to try this restaurant out, convinced me to stay. So I stayed lol.... Within 10 minutes of us being there, the schools came in and it became very crowded very fast and very overwhelming. It was hard to navigate through so many people with a small child by my side. Although I paid $28 for myself and $18 for my daughter for our meals (drink were an additional cost) I ended up having only one small plate of food, and my daughter only had a bowl of steamed white rice. It was overwhelming navigating through so many people, waiting to get our meals on the grill and having to go up and down the stairs (two flights) with our meal in hand. Besides it being extremely crowded and hectic, the waiter and waitress downstairs at the bar were both very nice, the waitress let my daughter use her pencil so she could do her homework and the waiter tried his best to be attentive to the other customers who were guided to also eat downstairs. I would definitely return but would call to make a reservation to ensure that there aren't major events happening when we return.
