I am far from any vegan restaurant so I was very happy to try Viva! Vegetarian Grill. It was easy to find in Eugene which says a lot. The service was great, she was very helpful, friendly, and fun. I thought the food was great and we were given a free sample of cashew ice cream! I can't wait to go back to try more items off the menu.
Pros: Selection, Low Price, QuickThe "Cheese Steak" Sandwich is OH SO GOOD.Nice people, Excellent food!
Pros: Good Food, Good peopleThe food is overall decent, there's no denying it. The cheesesteak is 5 cows for sure. Everything else is rather underwhelming and definitely overpriced. They put a Tofurkey sun dried tomato bratwurst on a bun and charge 5.50$ for it...I mean come on. That is maybe .90$ worth of food. The sides are decent but overpriced, especially the ice cream. The chili is tasteless but filling if you're in the mood. The vegan cheese sauce seems to not be as tasty as when the cart first opened either. It used to be the owner would serve you your food with a smile, and there was a discount for the rain, etc. Now that its popular all of the prices have gone up .50$ and the quality isn't what it used to be. Definitely worth checking out for the cheesesteak if you haven't tried it but I was disappointed with everything else, and I have tried everything on the menu.
Pros: CheesesteakMy fiance and I just moved to Eugene about 4 months ago. I found out about Viva! on HappyCow a few weeks into living here. I looked at the menu online and i was sold. We took a walk downtown, found the cart, and man-o-man you should have seen the smile on my face!!!!
We have been there close to 20 times now, and every time it gets better and better! They make their own vegan cheese & BBQ sauce. And use mostly Tofurky brand products.
Dave, your the man! Keep up the good work!
p.s. EVERYTHING ON THE MENU IS VEGAN.
Pros: Delicious!, Friendly staff!, Cheap!I love this place, the philly cheesesteak is amazing! I never liked cheesesteaks when I ate meat but Viva's are delicious, the cashew cheese is great and the sauce they cook the slices and veggies in really sets it off. Also the tempeh reuben had never been a fave of mine but Viva's! Wow! The vegan thousand island is way better than the original, and the dave's killer bread perfectly toasted, heaven. 5 stars! vegan, affordable, large portions, friendly/quick staff, cool discounts, great menu! Viva La Vegetarian!
Pros: affordable, Super Yummy, large portionsDelicious, fast, friendly, VEGAN PHILLY! It is a real delight to eat here.
Pros: Great Food, Fast, FriendlyThere used to be a vegan shop in Eugene called Herbies that had amazing Philly Cheeze Steaks. I missed it so much when they disappeared. This cart is even better. Using local Oregon products, Dave's made a Philly Cheeze Steak of thin Tofurky deli slices in delectible spices with cheeze sauce and grilled onions. He also has brats, foot-long hotdogs, an amazing BBQ sandwich and more. Really great prices too. It's a destination whenever I'm in Eugene. He also supports other local businesses, stocking Divine Cupcakes (vegan) and recommending the nearby Cornbread Cafe cart to people too. Discounts are offered for bikers and people venturing out when it's raining, and they have a "frequent buyers" punch card.
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Great valueWe liked what we got. We got a Philly cheezsteak and tempeh satay. The satay was very moist and tender served w a nice peanut ginger sauce ($4.50). The cashew cheez on the samich was really nice. It is tofurkey Philly served w another sauce and onions. It was $5.50.
I would go here again. Its nice to have fast food options when out and about.
Pros: fast , nicely doneThese are my faves!! Awesome cart, awesome dude(s) running it! Great prices, friendly service. And oh so yummy!
As w/ the Cornbread Cafe, there's a lot of soy here. But it's locally purchased soy, and there's a lot of tempeh available (which some people find healthier/tastier/easier to digest). I had the tempeh reuben - it was fast, hot, tasty and $5.50. Plus, if you get so many sandwiches (12 i believe) you get one free. Oh, and uses Dave's Killer Breads - yum!
Pros: Good value

Wow, prices went up AGAIN! And less "steak" on the cheese steak to boot! I won't be returning...sad.
PS You don't have 5 Stars on Happy Cow you need to take that sticker down off your cart.
I would LOVE to know where you get your Tofurkey because where I'm at each sausage is around $2.00. You add a bun, sauerkraut, caramelized onions, and the cost of running a small restaurant and $5.50 is just about right. Yeah, a meat one is probably cheaper but we have different priorities and I if you can point me in the direction of where you can get food like that at home for $0.90 I'd greatly appreciate it!
4$ at trader joes for a 4-pack, and thats retail. was 3$ when i wrote the review. bun + onions + sauerkraut maybe .50$ worth of food. so now you're paying 5.50$ for 1.50$ food that would take 30 seconds to make at home, your choice really. this cart should just be called the soy grill because thats all they serve (soy is bad for you). the owner actually tried to compare his markup to that of a movie theater, delusional.
