This review is for delivery only! I was in the mood for a black bean burger and this place came up. I had never heard of it before and the reviews were promising. We ordered the black bean burger, fries, a taco salad, a chicken Caesar salad, and the pumpkin mini Bundt cake. I was impressed by the time they took to properly package the food. And then I was really happy with the way it looked, but most of all, how it tasted! The burger was delicious- really hit the spot. The only modification I made was no guacamole. I love guacamole but not on burgers. And their fries reminded me of an old school burger drive up from my childhood. I hope next time I order, they have the pumpkin cake. My hubby enjoyed the salads. Next time, he'll be ordering an impossible burger to pair with them. If we're ever in the area, we'll stop by but I'm sure we'll get delivery before that! read more

Joseph made my visit five star x2. I only planned to stop in for a few smoothies for the family, yet I walked out seriously impressed. The food? Super fresh and full of flavor. What really stood out was the service. Joseph was just great. Friendly without being pushy, genuinely helpful, and clearly cared about the experience I was having. He gave solid recommendations, that I followed to the T. I ended up getting the Green Glow Up, Tropical Tonic, and Banana Berry smoothies, all refreshing. For my GrandBlessing, I ordered the chicken tenders with fries (they've got other sides too). I asked if we could swap the lemonade for an Honest Apple Juice, and Joseph didn't even blink, he simply made it happen. I couldn't leave without a few extras: Truffle Mac & Cheese, a piece of carrot cake, and a chocolate chip cookie. The order came to about $52, made easier with the 20% student discount (MPA perks, thank you very much). For plant-based food that's made fresh and actually tastes good, was worth every dollar. When I got back, everyone had compliments upon their tasting. Joseph, thank you. You made that quick stop into something I'll remember. I'll definitely be back before heading back home. To the Harvard grad who helped carry my GrandBlessing's stroller down the stairs: may Blessings follow you everywhere. read more

Everything thing is "100 plant fueled" versus vegetarian as the name would suggest. that is how they manager to serve regular hamburger. There is place where the customers place their order at the counter. The customer is given a number to identify where the meal goes. A man delivers the meal when ready. The restaurant is bright accented predominantly by maple wood. The front is all windows which brings in lots of l ight. It is mainly salads and sandwiches. I had a ranchero bean fiesta bowl. It featured beans, Tex-mex hamburger, corn, rice and onions. The hamburger had a kick to it. It was filling. I would return. read more

Stopped by here when I was walking around Cambridge and noticed how big the menu was! I was immediately hooked. Everything at this restaurant is vegan, so I knew I could get anything I wanted! I ordered the pesto parm chicken sandwich while my parents ordered the sonoran bowl. My sandwich was AMAZING!! It was genuinely so flavorful and the chicken wasn't soggy from the sauce. I was in love. I scarfed the whole thing down! The only reason I took off a star is because of the sonoran bowl. While the sandwich was packed with flavor, the bowl lacked. There wasn't any taste to the bowl, nor were there any sauces on the side to help enhance it. We threw some hot sauce on and ate it as is, but it was disappointing. Overall, I'd suggest getting the sandwiches here as the chicken patty is really good and are very filling. read more

I love a good plant based/vegetarian restaurant and Veggie Grill definitely hits the spot. This is a good fast casual option with the whole menu dedicated to vegetarian/vegan food so there's lots to try if you don't eat meat. I came in and grabbed the Crispy Baja Fish Bowl, a burrito bowl version of the fish tacos available on their online "Mas Veggies" menu. It appears they will also make the bowls for you when you come in store which is awesome! This bowl could've been vegan or not and I'm not sure I would've known the difference. It was fresh and filling and I would eat it again. Prices on the menu range from $12-16 per item before tax which is expected for this type of restaurant especially since all the protein is plant based. I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu. read more

Love the entirely plant-based menu and variety of options for sandwiches, bowls, salads, and more! I tried the pesto chicken parm sandwich ($12), which tasted amazingly crispy, saucy, and flavorful. However within 1-2 hours of finishing, I became nauseous and had a bout of diarrhea, and unfortunately suffered a bit of food poisoning. Hopefully just a one time instance as I enjoyed what I got. Service was good, and the food came out in about 10 minutes. Also they provide a 15% student discount which is a plus! read more

This place was a really great 100% vegan restaurant. It was the best post Pilates meal. They had a fabulous Thanksgiving sandwich called The Gobbler. The Fiesta Bowl almost tasted like actual meat which was kinda crazy and the Far East Thai Chickn Bowl was super delicious and was in a great curry sauce. They offer two sizes for salads which is great too. I didn't like the Mac and cheese but I'm not a huge fan of vegan cheese in general so if you like that you may like their Mac. The staff was friendly and the inside was bright and clean. read more

A decent pair of wraps that I tasted. The kale steak wrap was nicely seasoned, with a good texture for the beyond steak and the kale provided a deep vegetable flavor and texture accompanying the steak. The buffalo "Chik'n" was not quite as good, as the protein was too salty, and the pickles were lumped together in one half of the wrap and lacking in the other half. The texture of the Chik'n was otherwise quite good with good crisp breading. read more

I can't say enough about the kindness and care I received at Veggie Grill in Harvard Square -- it honestly turned my whole day around. I came in after a long hospital appointment, feeling a little worn down, totally famished, and navigating the tricky postpartum world of eating soy-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free while breastfeeding my newborn. It's not an easy combo to manage when you're hungry and tired... but then Manny, the manager, stepped in like an absolute angel. From the moment I explained my dietary needs, Manny couldn't have been more understanding or attentive. He really took the time to go through ingredients, check in the back, modify items to suit my restrictions, and make sure I had something nourishing and safe to eat. It wasn't just good service -- it was genuine care. In a moment where I felt depleted, he made me feel so seen and supported. There was such warmth in the way he helped -- no rush, no eye-rolls, just kindness, patience, and real attention to detail. And thanks to him, I left not only full (finally!) but also a little lighter emotionally. It's such a small but powerful thing -- to feel taken care of like that, especially as a new mom adjusting to so much. If you have dietary needs -- or even if you don't -- this place is a gem. And if you're lucky enough to be helped by Manny, know that you're in the best hands. Thank you, Veggie Grill, and thank you Manny, from the bottom of my (very full) heart! read more

I've never actually eaten at this restaurant. It's always been a takeout order situation, but I'm really really impressed with all the choices. I love their nachos and the great selection of all the other choices. They listen to my specifications which to me is the most important thing. Good Job!!! read more

I tried their food at the Boston Veg fest and oh wow how amazing the food was and even more amazing the staff interaction. Everyone was pleasant even in the midst of a chaotic food fest but the food was still hot fresh and yummy! I had meatballs, their falafel pizza and everything was just so good! Definitely recommend! read more

Great first experience. So many delicious vegan options it was hard to decide. My husband and I shared several tacos and the Far East Thai bowl with crispy veggie chik'n. Everything was fun and yummy. Oh and the chocolate cake was superb! Can't wait to go back. read more

Edited to Add- Veggie Grill reached out and offered a partial refund and gift card in response to the inedible food. I'm impressed with their customer service and will give them another try in the future! Wifey and I have been stopping here for a quick bite quite often. Overall, the bowls and burgers are pretty good. My only complaint is that the burger buns could use an upgrade, they're crumbly and fall apart. The holiday feast, however was terrible and completely inedible. When prepared according to instructions, the veggie sides were more raw than anything else. And, the rest of the meal was so badly over-salted it was inedible. I'm someone who likes salty food, but after three bites my tongue was burning. It was a very sad Thanksgiving for sure. If anyone reading this gets the holiday feast - it might be helpful to steam the green beans and carrots to tenderness before preparing them according to directions. And just be aware ahead of time that the Wellington is basically seasoned quinoa wrapped up in puff pastry! read more

SO GOOD. I had catering from here and tried the mac n cheese, ranchero beans, chickin tacos, and sliders. Everything was insanely tasty (and all vegan/plant based!) read more

There's a gentleman by the name Manny who works at your establishment. The service my wife and I received from him was unprofessional. As we were placing our order, Manny was being difficult. The food arrived flavorless and overcooked, and when I requested to return it or receive a refund, he responded with dirty looks and unprofessional communication. I decided to leave as it was clear that our concerns were not being taken seriously. I advise your company to address this issue with Manny, as his behavior is unacceptable. I have been a loyal customer for a long time. read more

Very friendly servers, also very helpful. Clean bathroom, big space seems ready for throngs at Harvard. Incredibly delicious sandwiches, bowls, soups, and especially the desserts are to die for! Everything is vegan, which is insane and fabulous, this place is changing the world in a great way. Went out of my way to do more business with them, buying food to take out and gift cards, they gave discounts and suggested the app for more discounts. Amazing they could not do any better! read more

As a vegan I am obsessed with this place! My kid loves it too! Very kid friendly. We go there often. Today we had a friend with us and she wanted to try a sample of the kids macncheese so the manager Manny literally made her a small order, like he cooked it for her just to try it!!! Of course she loved it. Seriously the people who work here go way above and beyond. The new smoothies are incredible. I can never find a smoothie I actually like and these are perfection. Apparently they are made with all organic fruit! I always get the mushroom tacos as now I am also gluten free. I crave them on the regular. The buffalo wings are amazing. 10 stars for this place!! read more

I'm not sure if it's the owner or the manager, but he really went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and make sure we understood all of the allergy information. 10 out of 10 service highly recommend as someone who has gone too many veggie girls around the country. read more

This place was NOT busy at all which made me sad because their food is delicious! I had a buffalo "chicken" wrap and it was amazing! The wrap itself was really thin, chewy, and a little bit charred. The plant-based chicken was hot and crispy which made a perfect contrast to the fresh and crispy vegetables. The menu is a great variety of more healthy options like salads and grain bowls combined with more indulgent options like burgers, fries, and mac 'n' cheese. All 100% vegan! The prices are quite good for the Harvard Square area, my wrap and drink was under $15. The space is huge, clean, and inviting. The service was friendly and fast. Overall I would definitely come back for an affordable, fast casual vegan meal! read more

I ordered lunch from here today! Haven't been for like 6 months! Ordered the Steakhouse Burger and the mac & cheese regular size and strawberry lemonade! The plant-based burger was very good! The mac & cheese is excellent and creamy and the pasta is cooked well not overcooked. The strawberry lemonade was first off handled with so much care! It wrapped and a 2nd wrap around the top of the drink then wrapped over that! I appreciate the Lil detail with the prep and it's done every time as it was the last time I ordered from you'll. Your food is excellent and the presentation is excellent! I've received orders from other take-outs and it's a mess. Thank you for that! It's an extra reason to come back and recommend to friends to try your establishment. read more

Best nachos I've ever had! Harvard Sq store never disappoints, I was introduced to this new menu by Manny (manager of this store). These nachos are super tasty, honestly they're so good, and I'm normally super picky. I'd say this is a 10/10. You gotta try it! Another of my fav is mushroom tacos, IT IS DELICIOUS!!! I've been a customer of this store for years now! Again they never disappoint, the manager always makes sure you're satisfied with your purchase! I gladly would keep coming to veggie grill !! read more

We enjoyed our dinner here and would happily go back many times if we only lived in the area. The ambiance is nothing to write home about, but the service was friendly and the entirely plant-based menu was exciting. The steakhouse burger was fantastic (meat-lovers would be fooled) and it was oozing with caramelized onions. The supergrains salad was packed with tasty elements. Everyone liked the fries, but the sweet potato fries were an even bigger hit than the regular fries. A lentil soup was rated as pretty good. The only miss was the mac & cheese, which was on the liquidy side. I encourage others to give this a try! read more

This place is delicious. Ordered online and order was ready at promised time. The Buffalo Chick'n Salad was fresh, the right amount of crunch and amazing flavor! Added bonus, employees were delightful. I am on vacation for four more days and will definitely stop by for another lunch! read more

Read this as a 3.5-star review. After my initial disappointment, I was invited back by its Customer Service team for a second visit. This time around, I got the Sonoran Bowl, Mondo Nachos, and Sweet Potato Fries. They definitely taste better than my Tacos. However, I still had to use a lot of salt and pepper for flavor. My friend, who got a burger with fries, also added more salt to her dish. I am glad that the management team does care about Yelpers' opinions. So I will give it a 4-star review for that. Now that I have the Veggie Grill app, I think I will pay a visit on future days when they offer deals like $9.95 for burger + side. Otherwise, the regular pricing is still too high, in my opinion. But, Harvard Square's rent is very expensive, so understandably customers will have to pay for rent money. There is minimal street parking (and the parking garage nearby is costly), so better take a bus here if you are not from the Cambridge area. read more

Taste: more like a 3.5 Service and quality: 5 I wasn't expecting such a large crowd at 1pm for lunch today, but I guess there's been a lot more popularity on plant based eating nowadays. I eat meat, but I also don't mind the occasional veggie only meals. VG offers a wide range of fast casual American fare like burgers, sandwiches, salads, warm bowls, soups, and tacos all made vegan. I didn't extensively go through each menu item, but I prefer veggies or tofu over mock meats because I find that mock meat always has a slightly off flavor that I don't really like. When browsing, I found that most of the entrees include mock meat. Still, I wanted to give the buffalo chicken sandwich a try to see how close it was to the real thing. I ordered to go on the kiosk which is super convenient. You can also order here for eat in if you don't want to talk to someone but they also have a counter with an employee if you prefer the traditional ordering system. I waited around 15 min for my order which seemed slightly long but there were a lot of people and they seem to make everything fresh (or at least finish it so that everything is still hot). The employee (possibly the manager?) who called out my name was super nice, read over the order to me before he handed the bag over, and gave me an extra cup of ketchup when I asked with a smile. I later looked at the order sticker on my bag and it looks like every order is checked for accuracy before it is packed up! My sandwich came with a generous helping of hot crispy fries, and the sandwich was huge. I was slightly disappointed in the texture of the chicken patty as it tasted really soft (and still has that mock meat flavor that I'm not used to) but it really looked like chicken. If I were vegan I think I would be really happy but since I do eat regular chicken I could tell the difference. I think I would have also preferred more buffalo sauce and ranch dressing to "mask" the patty taste. I enjoyed the meal, but wasn't super wowed. However, it was enjoyable enough for me to come back and try the other items. I wonder how the beef or fish will taste? read more

Pros: -Huge amount of vegetarian options that even meat eaters will like -Order ahead -Portions are large enough to split into two meals Cons: -Expensive -Required to get a side with a sandwich. I'd much rather pay less for the sandwich and get no side! -No parking -- The Veggie Grill breaded "chicken" is pretty good, though it's not crispy and mostly tastes like soft bread. The carne asada is also good! I'm not a fan of the beyond burger so I stay away from that. Recommend: Santa Fe Crispy Chickin' ($10.95) Buffalo Bomber ($11.25) Carne Asada Burrito ($11.95) Don't recommend: Gluten-Free Chocolate Brownie ($3.95) Not bad but not great. Mostly crumbly. Has chocolate chips. Crispy Fries ($4.50) Not good. Unseasoned potatoes. Avoid!! read more

I wish I could've stayed longer in Boston to try out their different dishes. Even though their Más Nachos were a little dense on the sauce for me, I can see myself eating here everyday. Soooo many plant-based options to choose from, it's amazing. A suggestion for the nachos would probably just be to add a chunky guac with a whole lotta lime. I'm also very biased when it comes to citrus, so take that as you will. Would come back next time I'm in town! read more

When a new place up in the area, you sure bet I'll be down to give it a try :-) As a meat-lover, I was curious to see what this place has to offer and if it could appeal to all sorts of people--vegans and non-vegans alike! I ordered the Bulogigi Beef bowl and found it to pretty good in terms of taste. I was really surprised that my "beef" tasted really similar to meat and if you had not known this was a vegan place, I think I would be pretty convinced that I was actually eating the real thing. My only complaints about this place are that I feel as if my serving size is not worth the money I am paying for a meal here. Maybe I was just super hungry the day I went, but I ate every last bite of my bowl and was still left a little unsatisfied. I think this is a big reason why I wasn't exactly wow'ed by this place. Don't get me wrong, the food is good but serving size + price tag are enough to deter me from coming back here too often. However, I also understand that most vegan places tend to be on the pricier side, so I won't let these factors prevent me from coming back here every again! read more

The crispy Chicken Caesar salad wrap here is phenomenal! It tastes so light and clean and not oily from the crispy chicken.

Let's start off with the staff, every visit the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I'm not exaggerating when I say they may be the nice staff of any restaurant I've ever been too. There's one guy in particular who might be the manager (longish black hair) who goes above and beyond to make sure you're enjoying your visit. Now the food, I've never eaten anything here I didn't enjoy. The deli sandwich is amazing, the Reuben is amazing. I do miss the Buffalo chickn salad I'd get religiously but you know what, I bet they'd make it for me if I asked . Just try everything it's all so great!!! read more

Way to upgrade veggie grill! We've been to the Corte Madera CA location plenty of times. We liked it but didn't love it. However the menu upgrade that happened on Sept 1 is outstanding. We enjoyed much improved nachos, a delicious Rubin, and a very good burrito. The burrito cost less and with a little dousing of Cholula taste much better than many burritos around Boston. I simply can't believe how much this menu has improved and we've already gone there twice in the last week and a half. And it will become a regular thing for us. Typically going out for vegan food is a special treat because vegan food usually means lots of fat oil etc. But if you get the burrito and other good dishes you can do this in a very healthy way and a very delicious way. I want to thank Manny, Asti and the team there for creating a wonderful experience and very much appreciate their service and the atmosphere of the store. I highly recommend vegans and non-vegans Who have not been here since the menu change to give it another try. Because we hadn't planned to going back to you often even though we respect to the place, but with his menu changes we plan to go back a lot. read more

Veggie grill buss as hell, everything is a banger and well priced, good proportions, open late which is awesome. Highly recommend

I hate to update this review so soon after posting it, but we've been back twice in the past 2 weeks and both times were total flops. I'm not sure what changed in the preparation, but the nachos had scant, cold toppings one of our visits and the other time the nacho chips were cold and soggy. Even the fries were limp. It was totally unlike our previous visits. I ordered the Greek salad and the lettuce was so old and limp with dressing. I couldn't even eat it. My boyfriend tried the Asian salad and it was 11 dollars for a sad salad bar looking bowl (pictured). So now my general consensus is that veggie grill can be really good, but it has the same quality control issues as on the west coast. We'll try it out again at some point, and hope that I can reupdate my review afterwards. read more
