I moved 7 minutes from here recently and have been coming here a lot more and got to explore the menu. So far everything I had has been great, they have what you want if you are trying to eat clean and also have a cheat meal. Their salads are so good and tend to last me two meals. I always crave their buffalo 'chicken' tenders... Food quality is consistent throughout. read more

I am so glad Veggie Grill is still here. First time back since before lockdown! As always easy parking, lots of seating, a great spot for conversations in a booth, and staff always happy, friendly, and helpful! We were both craving vegan sandwiches and fries. So delicious! Thanks Veggie Grill! read more

My boyfriend and I visited this Veggie Grill location with high hopes. We had recently visited the Tustin location a couple weeks prior during the OC restaurant week and had a stellar experience. We sadly left a tad disappointed by the experience, but would still return due to the fact that we love treating ourselves to vegan "junk food". We arrived about 40 minutes prior to closing time, and the restaurant was already shutting down with the floors freshly mopped and some of the seating already had chairs stacked on top the tables. After walking in and noticing these hallmark signs of a restaurant being closed (even though we arrived well within the hours of operation), we immediately felt unwelcome and felt like a burden to the staff. However, we both know how closing duties can stack up at the end of the shift and understand that the staff wanted to complete them as soon as possible. Keeping this in mind, we proceeded to order with the cashier, and decided to take our food to go. We selected the truffle Mac n cheese and steak quesadilla as we were craving comfort food options. Our food was prepared about ten minutes after ordering. We peaked inside the to go boxes and saw how incredible the food looked, and decided to quickly eat our meal at the restaurant, since we were both hungry and had a long drive home. We quickly ate the meal in a booth while the staff continued their closing duties around us. We finished our meal and threw away our trash a few minutes before closing. When we left, the front entrance doors were locked and we were confused as to exit. We looked behind our shoulder to gently ask for assistance in exiting the establishment, and the staff member pointed at another door and told us to use that door to leave. While she didn't say anything mean, the tone was rude and we felt like a burden to the staff rather than guests in a restaurant. I understand this restaurant is a quick service establishment and the closing crew wants to leave as quickly as possible, but gentle smile or a kinder way of explaining how to exit would've been appreciated. The food was tummy, albeit a little overpriced for the portions. Sadly, the staff made my boyfriend and I feel unwelcome and more of a hinderance. read more

Best vegetarian option which has survived longer than its competitors. They have a great menu of dinner plates, burgers, burritos, chicken sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and now shakes. Of the dinner plates, I've tried the homestyle crispy chicken and want to try the salmon and Beyond steak filet someday. The burgers range from kids size to Maverick size, and also includes veggie and bean patties. They do have kids meals, bowls, and fish tacos so enough variety to merit multiple repeat visits. read more

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY Free entree for Rewards members This year, I redeemed my promo for the Buddha Brunch Bowl. I chose that, because I didn't want a vegan beef entree, as I'm leary of Impossible & Beyond meat. Buddha Brunch Bowl- The sunny side up faux egg was a reasonable facsimile of a real egg. The texture was about right, and the yolk even ran when punctured. The tempeh bacon had the flavor part, just not the texture. The mouth feel was that of a savory granola bar. My preference would've been for more ancient grains, than diced kale. Overall, a pleasant meal, before heading to nearby Crumbl for a calorie-busting dessert. Service was good. The young woman at the register was friendly and a pleasure to deal with. read more

This location was nice, very clean and bathrooms available. Server was very kind. In terms of the food, I'd say so far it's fine. I only tried two shareables and a smoothie, but nothing was spectacular. I think I liked the Mac more than the spring rolls. It's not the most savory vegan Mac I've had but it's good nonetheless. What I couldn't understand about the spring rolls was why they use the coleslaw bag mix for the filling. I've had none vegan spring rolls and usually they add large pieces of cabbage and carrots with basil. This restaurant only does dry coleslaw mix and carrots with a small sliver of mango and tofu, and cilantro. I don't understand why this was the choice. Even using the peanut sauce, I felt I was choking on every bite. It would've been so much better had they replaced the cilantro with basil or mint, and definitely no slaw. Maybe non bagged chopped up cabbage or lettuce would've been much better. I don't think I'll be returning just because it already wasn't impressive or intriguing enough. read more

It's been a while since eating here. I was nearby so decided to pick up a quick bite. I ordered the same as I have in the past, but it's not nearly as good. Giving it a 4* because service was wonderful, especially for takeout. They asked about everything when ordering, so it was made perfectly. When food was ready (which was fast), I was asked if I needed napkins and utensils. Both were in my bag in 2 seconds. Unfortunately, they have changed the items I ordered. The cauliflower bites use to be big pieces of cauliflower, but now it tiny pieces of cauliflower with mostly breading. Also the salad was not nearly what I remembered. Pretty plain, lots of capers, and a much smaller portion. This new version of the food items would be no more than 3*. Not the experience I expected to have. Won't be running back anytime soon. read more

As a vegan, I can usually tell the quality of food, and Veggie Grill generally offers great vegan options. I've been to a few of their locations and enjoyed them, but the Long Beach location was disappointing. I tried their Baja taco with tofu, and the tofu did not taste good. The cauliflower taco, however, was good. I'm giving it three stars because while there are solid vegan options, the overall quality at this location didn't meet my expectations. Others may have had a different experience, but this was my honest experience. read more

I love veggie grill so much. I've been coming here for 10+ years. I haven't had a plant-based diet in a long time but I still come here regularly! The food is just so good. It's the same price as any other food place now so there's no reason not to eat it! Ha. The dishes are always complex with lots of flavors and a good variety of ingredients. Satisfying and delicious. Their bowls are my favorite, but their salads are just incredible. Yes, incredible. I usually grab VG on the way home from work and my orders are always ready on time. This place means so much to me and I'd be truly lost if it ever closed! Please don't! They also have a pretty nice rewards program! All my love to VG. read more

One of my favorite comfort food places to eat. Everything is good, but I especially like their burgers and chicken sandwiches. I'm always curious what concoction they come with for their limited time offerings. OH! Their truffle mac n cheese and their sweetheart fries are my favorite comfort item. I usually order this to be delivered, so I'm not familiar with the actual restaurant itself, but the food is AWESOME!!!!! read more

Wow, I'm so happy Veggie Grill is still around! My usual spot in Tustin (rumored to return summer 2025) at the Marketplace is currently under construction during renovation as it's been on hold for a bit. Luckily, this one just a short drive out of Orange County, about 10-15 minutes from Seal Beach. Veggie Grill was recently bought by Next Level, and they've upgraded most everything to organic ingredients, which is a big deal for me! Quality ingredients totally make or break a meal in my book. My go-to orders are the wings as an appetizer, plus the burrito and tacos. I'll throw in a burger every now and then too with fries. The place is super clean, cozy, and the staff is always friendly and ready to help make sure you enjoy your meal. Tip: It's next door to the Trader Joe's! 10/10 overall! read more

I received an email on a promotion that was happening a few days ago. We decided to try it out since we were in the area. I ordered the tacos. There were four kinds so I decided to get one of each. They were all delicious. We like veggie grill but the one near us closed. They are going to reopen next month. Besides the tacos being good, the young woman working the counter was very nice and helpful. If you are ever in this area and want to try some healthier food that tastes great, check out this restaurant. read more

I honestly don't know why I don't go to Veggie Grill more often. On a recent visit, I ordered the chik'n bacon ranch sandwich ($12.45). It's a crispy chik'n filet, organic tempeh bacon, smoked Gouda cheese, organic lettuce, organic tomato and creamy ranch on a toasted pretzel bun. Delish. I momentarily forgot that the patty wasn't real chicken. Like chicken who? The melty Gouda cheese, organic lettuce, and tomato keeps the sandwich tasting real fresh. If you're more of a burger kind of person, it's safe to report that their burgers are equally delicious as well. I had bites of the Maverick burger ($15.45). Order this if you love the Bacon Western Cheeseburger. Here, they use house-seasoned 1/4 beyond patty, crispy onion rings, organic tempeh bacon, organic dill pickles, your choice of cheese, hickory BBQ sauce + house-made special sauce. Whew. Perfection. Eat at Veggie Grill if you want to take a little brekkie from meat. read more

STEPH UPDATE: Still good after all these years and change in ownership. I've been coming to Veggie Grill for years and it's still good! They were recently bought out and I was afraid of what would happen to them, but so far the changes have been mostly for the better, I'd say. There are new items on the menu that I enjoy, and the prices are competitive with other fast-casual joints. On my most recent visit I tried two new items and loved them: Sesame tofu kale salad - fantastic! Flavorful and fresh Lentil soup (pureed lentils with chili-like flavor and texture, yum This is our go-to spot for a quick and healthy meal before going to the movies down the street. Our only gripe is with their new app, which doesn't seem to work as well as their old one. A birthday reward I was trying to claim wouldn't go through, so the cashier had to do it manually, and now to get credit for what you spend you have to input it from your receipt, instead of it happening automatically, as it did before. I hope they get that together, but it certainly won't keep us away from visiting them! read more

I'm a big fan of Veggie Grill and try to come here anytime I'm in Long Beach. Unfortunately, they don't follow the schedule. I pulled up at 9:30 and they're closed on a Saturday night. I'm not happy because I drove 30 minutes to get here. read more

I am not one to care much for Vegan or Vegetarian food but I am a fan of Veggie Grill. And this location is pretty dope. I come here for lunch during work sometimes. They offer a wide variety of different foods including sandwiches, wraps, salads, burritos, tacos, and more. I like their nanchos and really good carrot cake. Everything is always done with lots of flavor and just right. I can't even tell its vegan food. Items are fresh and of good quality. I like that this location is pretty large and is easy to get to. It is located right next to Trader Joes. The inside has plenty of tables and chairs. There is even outdoor seating too. The staff is really nice and will bring the food out to you. They sometimes even offer to clean up for me. read more

Other than that, no other problems. I shared some large fries for the table and they were fresh out of the fryer with a perfect crisp. read more

The food quality has gone down. I've been coming here for 10+ years. The "chicken" items now have an unpleasant aftertaste, hours later, and are thin when they used to be thick. The fries are dry and don't taste good. I don't know what has happened. read more

I had the best Valentine's Day meal here with my little Valentine! My son and I enjoyed the music, the space, and especially the food! Even though the parking lot and the surrounding streets were packed for rush hour and the special evening, the dining room at Veggie Grill was tranquil with many open booths. Just how I like it! We received excellent service and received our food quickly. The food was so good! I ordered the buffalo chicken salad and my little one had chicken strips and fries with lemonade and a cookie. Such a great value. I was also pleasantly surprised that my rewards that I had accrued from previous visits long ago were still on the app. Will be back soon! read more

Veggie Grill is my favorite vegan restaurant chain, and even non-vegans love it. They have healthy protein bowls and hearty salads, and also comfort food classics like burgers, chicken sandwiches, and onions rings. It's fast casual and you can get in-and-out quickly but I like to linger for second round and their seasonal desserts. read more

I sometimes stop by when I am in the area because it's nice to have such a wide selection to choose from. I do feel that the food is not very healthy, but not bad once in a while. That said, I was so disappointed in today's selection I think I'll skip it next time. I have had the Santa Fe Chicken in the past and it's not bad. Thought I'd try something new today....epic fail. The Chick'n Bacon Ranch was dry and completely flavorless. Honestly, I didn't even finish it. Also, it's not cheap! read more

The veggie grill in Orange County has been closed for over a year, I think, so I finally decided to check out an LA location! This one is located in a nice shopping center with plenty of parking and the restaurant is easy to find. I ordered a few things here - chicken tenders, Caesar salad and shrimp tacos, they were at 5/5! The interior and service were great. I highly recommend check this location out and hope that the OC location opens soon!! read more

Two veggies go on a lunch date and are beckoned by the illustrious chain known as Veggie Grill in Long Beach's own Marketplace Long Beach off Pacific Coast Hwy & 2nd Street. They find amazing parking right on the street, just outside the massive parking lot along Shopkeeper Rd. Making a b line for the front door where the lunch crowd is slowly but surely growing. The menus nicely held in a holder for any and all to pick up and null over as well as a menu at the counter where you order and pay for whatever your heart desires at this plant-based fun-fare of vegan/vegetarian goodness. You can find a table or booth to enjoy the scenic bright view of the Marketplace for ever direction as well as some limite bar seating (think diner style). You can order the savory Buffalo Blitz wrap loaded with all the good veggies, crispy "buffalo chick'n," non-dairy free delicious ranch and served with a side of choice (always extra)... Though if you dine with someone an order of fries (sweet potato) can go along way for a table of two. As can a pack of soft chocolate chip cookies you definitely needed to add to your meal ;) This location doesn't carry any beer or wine like select others, but they do have a great selection of non alcoholic beverages including lemonade, teas, juices, kombucha, agua and more. Service is a 10 out of 10! Entire place is spotless (including the restrooms). They do have a small trash can near the beverage fountain, utensil & condiment area at the far end of the bar, but nowhere to leave plates like you'd expect. It was a very ragtag crew over the weekend in the early afternoon so I felt like I wanted to bring our plates to the end of the bar at least to make it easier. There is plenty of lot parking, but it does pick up and get busier at certain times so I definitely trust the local(s) when in the area. Definitely a good location, that I recommend for any and all who enjoy solid veggie eats... Plus the new seasonal fall menu is rolling out soon... And that's good stuff! read more

I love that Long Beach has an array of different food places for every type of eater. After a walk on the beach me and my friend wanted to eat somewhere healthy and my friend recommended the Veggie Grill. My friend ordered Bbq plant based burger( summer time special) with sweet potato fries and I ordered the Cali Tempeh Bowl. She also raved about fried cauliflower and ordered those also! My Cali Tempeh Bowl was very filling and flavorful but the tempeh wasn't my favorite. I'd never had tempeh before and it was probably just a personal preference. But the fried cauliflower was one of the best dishes I've ever had! Crispy, flavorful and the sauces with it were chefs read more

For my first time trying Veggie Grill, I think I ordered the wrong item because I was looking for a healthy meal and well.. I got what I wanted but it wasn't the best. I had the Quinoa with Seared "Chicken" which was just grilled tofu. Wasn't the best and it honestly tasted like cardboard. The cooks did their best and it was nonetheless still edible, I'm sure that I probably ordered the worst item on the menu. The location was clean, well-kept and the workers provide great service. I have no complaints! read more

8/07/2024, This place is really going downhill fast and now I am seeing virtually zero to only a couple customers in this restaurant these days at any time. Maybe it's because of the one Spanish speaking store manager they have working behind the counter and the one Spanish speaking cook in the back where not only is the front line service is lacking in good service, but the cook in the back also can't prepare food properly. I came inside this restaurant around 12:30pm to originally order a sandwich and fries, but I only saw one customer in the restaurant sitting waiting for his food, so I thought to myself that I better just order fries instead. So I ordered a large golden fries without any salt. I waited a good five to seven minutes for the fries. I had to ask the counter manager employee for ketchup, he gave me only one so I had to ask again for an extra ketchup and for a fork and some napkins. You would think that he should have asked me first if I like ketchup and napkins for my fries and utensils instead of me having to ask for these items. When I got into my car to drive off, I opened the piping hot French fries only to discover not only how burnt they were but that most of them were very small in size like the old leftovers small fries from the bottom of the frozen freezer bag. The fries also tasted horrible for nearly $7. I concluded that I will never return to Veggie Grill again. It's simply gone downhill fast over the past four years. The food and the poor service is just not worth their higher prices these days. read more

There was once a time when vegan restaurants were scarce and Veggie Grill was often my only option. In the past 5+ years, the abundance of plant-based places has made me forget about Veggie Grill almost entirely. Except for every October, my birthday perk kicks in and reminds me to review the latest changes to their menu. The Steakhouse Burger totally rocked my world...mostly because of one ingredient: Follow Your Heart Blue Cheese Crumbles! This is the first time I've ever been impressed with a plant-based blue cheese. The tanginess paired with the caramelized onions totally hit the spot! https://bit.ly/3jjDHoy The Kale Caeser was a nice balance to the heavy burger. Slightly heavy on the dressing if you request to have it tossed in but I was kinda into it. Perfect amount of parmesan and croutons adding that much needed texture and crunch. https://bit.ly/3vGulbz We've had the Reuben on Rye before but we were curious to order it as a wrap. It was okay. I prefer this as a sandwich. https://bit.ly/3n8W14S Overall, good experience. The service was friendly. Located at The Marketplace Long Beach, we enjoyed the Sunday afternoon sunshine by dining outdoors. read more
