What People Are Saying About Veggie Grill

Looking a little like the Pinkberry of tempeh, this popular vegan spot near UC Irvine’s campus draws both vegetarians and a crossover crowd of students, faculty and locals looking for a cheap, healthy nosh. Cool shades of red, orange and leaf green frame a sleek modern European/Japanese styled room, set off with wood and molded designer chairs. A pleasant patio with market umbrellas sits up front. Classic American burgers and comfort foods like the bbq sandwich and chicken wings are made of savory meat substitutes--either tempeh or wheat protein--and gussied up with avocado, sprouts and fresh…
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- Beverages include fresh lemonade, a raspberry-strawberry cooler, natural sodas and iced teas. A small organic beer and wine list is available.
- Know Before You Go:
- The fake meats are made of veggie protein blends, and the tempeh is a blend of organic soybeans and rice culture; they are 100% plant based and trans fat and cholesterol free. A gluten-free menu is also available.
- The Extras:
- The kids meal is an entrée of chicken nuggets or pasta with marinara sauce, a side of sweet potato fries or carrot sticks, lemonade and chocolate pudding ($6.25).

What Veggie?
by CStacey at Citysearch
Meat is a Must for My Meal. I brooded when my friends said they're good, but they seriously weren't kidding when they say it's guiltless indulgence! Fresh, delish & finger-licking! The v-burger was amazing with portobello mushroom on top! Oh, and don't get me started on their fountain drinks! It's definitely one of the best vegetarian food ever!

The Veggie Grill is Phenonmenal!
by vcoles at Citysearch
The Veggie Grill is phenonmenal. The food, the atmosphere, the service. The first time I went to Veggie Grill was with my daughter because she loves the sweet potato fries so much, I was leery because of how much vegan food in the past has tasted like. But to my surprise, I was so impressed the fries were absolutely scrumpcious and the chill out wings, I thought I was eating actual chicken I was like, "wow these are very good and tasty". I love sitting out on the patio on a warm day in Orange County, it is a very relaxing and serene atmosphere. The service is excellent, the workers are so very helpful and friendly and will explain anything about the food if asked without question. The restaurant is also very clean. Ohh before I forget the strawberry lemonade is so so so so good, a must try.
- Pros: The taste and look of the food
- Cons: Have nutritional information available

Very Vegan, Very Satisfying
by janaschreiber8 at Citysearch
Even the most stubborn carnivore will be dumfounded by the meat-like taste and consistency of Veggie Grills meat substitute dishes. Their sandwiches are delightful to look at and to eat- the food is truly gourmet quality. Their sweet potatoe fries are a craveworthy side served with a bbq/ranch dipping sauce that perfectly compliments the sweet, steamy treat- it's like eating dessert for dinner!
- Pros: Truly Quality Vegan dishes
- Cons: pricey

I'm a fan...

I like this place a lot. It's 2 seconds away from my apartment and school and I have not had a bad dish here. I love their salads, especially the chinese chik'n, and their sweet potato fries are amaazing. My only issue with this restaurant is their prices...a little steep, especially for college students. But good overall, kinda hungry for it now. :)
