"Thankful for the options"   My Rating
GUEST	Posted on: Thursday, April 16, 2009
	Review: I went to Living on the Veg 4 of the 8 days of my most recent trip to LBI. It definitely gets brownie points for giving me something other to eat there than "vegetable sandwiches" (i.e. portobello and peppers) and pasta w/garlic&olive oil that I have to get everywhere else. The menu is pretty small though, and a lot of it just consists of soy burgers with different toppings. I was hoping they'd have some seitan or tempeh dishes, but they only use tofu. Oh, and they had "soy riblets," which were really good. Another reviewer said that they make all their stuff on premises, but they definitely don't. I specifically inquired about the riblets and the guy said they didn't make them, that he thought they were a Boca product. I'd assume that the soy burgers are too. But I too am a fan of the avocado club (got it on ciabatta because their multi-grain toast, rolls, and wraps have honey in them [wish they'd just use ones w/out honey]), and I liked the chickenless tofu salad. Each sandwich comes with a small side of the day too, which is nice. They have different soups every other day or so, as well. The only one I tried was the "Chilled Pineapple Banana," which was good. Sort of like a smoothie actually. I should've tried the Ginger Carrot Sweet Potato. They also have 2 or 3 vegan baked goods, which I also wish I tried. All in all, I'm glad it's there, but I wasn't blown away by the food or anything. I could easily make all of it myself, but when on vacation, it was nice that I didn't have to.   Pros: vegan options! * pretty good food * reasonable prices Cons: small menu * close at 5pm * honey in most of the bread/wraps

Be interested to read it. thanks.. response by kindlizard • Your review irritates me. Im a regular at Living on the Veg and I can tell you that your review is highly inaccurate. The menu is anything but small. Especially for a restaurant with a menu thats 99.9% VEGAN, the options are incredible. Just soy burgers with different toppings? No. They used boca burgers several years ago when they first opened, but now all of their menu items are made on the premises. Their two vegan burgers, the black bean and the green burger are NOTHING like your store bought soyburgers. And to say that most of their sandwhiches are just the burgers?.. What about the tun-o salad melt, the bbq seitan sandwich, the southwest burrito, the buffalo ceasar wrap, the chickenless t.l.t, the red pepper hummus wrap, the portabella sandwich...(just to name a few)? They DO offer tempeh and seitan.... response by shaybaby - report abuse -

	Review: This place is super convenient with casual but inventive vegan sandwiches, desserts, smoothies, and juices. Very fresh, very healthy, and ultra friendly, knowledgeable staff! It is easy to tell that this place is for the conscious consumer, and not just with regard to animals wellfare. They use the healthiest products available from the soymilk in the smoothies down to the biodegradable cups that house them. We were thrilled with our experience. We got the barbeque seitan sandwich and the avocado club...as well as a fudgey vegan brownie that was out of this world. Everything is made on the premises and we got extremely fast service. We could tell the staff cared about the food and serivice and took pride in being there. What more could a vegan girl at the beach ask for?   Pros: excellent food * healthy cuisine * good value Cons: friendly staff * delicious * eco-conscious

	Review: living on the veg is a great vegetarian deli and smoothie/juice bar in beach haven terrace (in between brant beach and beach haven on the main drag). the owners are really friendly, and the food is amazing. everything is vegan except a few items which contain honey. we were so excited to find this place while on vacation -- there aren't too many other veg-friendly spots on lbi. highly recommended!   Pros: great food * healthy * nice staff Cons: not open late * *

"Yum!"   My Rating
GUEST	Posted on: Tuesday, July 17, 2007
	Review: Being a vegan on Long Beach Island is not an easy thing, and Living on the Veg certainly fills the veggie void. The atmosphere is beachy and fun, with colorful chalkboards and artwork adorning the walls. The staff is very nice and attentive. My favorites were the avocado club and the King smoothie. The burrito and special riblet sandwich were also very tasty. Great prices, excellent food. Can't wait to go there again for Labor Day!   Pros: * * Cons: * *

	Review: I actually was introduced to this site through the owners of this restaurant. They are honestly the best restaurant I know of. Everything is homemade, right there, and is 100% animal friendly and vegan. On top of that, Rob and Lauren are the nicest people ever.   Pros: Amazing food * Clean environment * Wonderfully nice Cons: * *
