So good

I'm not a vegan. My sister is. Whenever she visits we head over to Gentle Grill. I have never been disappointed. Food is amazing. The buffalo wrap. My favorite. Fries are not to be missed. Highly recommend. For all

Pros: Food, Flavor, Care of preparation

Cons: Parking

Delicious! Planning to revisit ASAP

This place was amazing. My spouse and I both had the brisket sandwich which was fantastic and filling. The french fries were amazing, and after a short errand we returned for a couple of desserts. We had 2 of the little cakes - Lemon Berry and Boston Creme. I want to go back and try ALL the flavors.

Pros: Fresh, Delicious

Good breakfast menu, big cookie

This all-vegan eatery is definitely worth a stop, a diamond in the rough in Temecula. We were glad to see a separate breakfast menu when we stopped by on a chilly Sunday morning. The tofu scramble was very good, although I wish it came with breakfast potatoes instead of fried tater tots. Also, I wish they served coffee (there’s a great coffee place a few businesses down). The avocado toast was delicious and topped with a “feta” cheese, balsamic and onions. The minestrone soup was comforting and tasty, with fresh vegetables, legumes and spices. It comes in a small cup, though, and not a bowl, and the server didn’t know it came with garlic bread. By the time they brought over the garlic bread, I was done with my soup. Our breakfast ended on a sweet note. When I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, I was happily surprised to receive a huge cookie bigger than my face!

Pros: Big chocolate chip cookie , Fresh made minestrone soup , Clean and modern

Cons: Fried tater tots instead of breakfast potatoes , No coffee , Food comes in disposable cartons, plastic utensil

Delicious.

My boyfriend and I ordered a burrito and gyro fries. My fries were crispy, and I loved the tzatziki. We both really liked our food, and my boyfriend even asked me after we started eating to verify the whole place was vegan… lol. The person working was friendly, and the food came out pretty quickly.

Delicious food. Good portions.

23-year ethical vegan here. And I judge restaurants by how well they make salads. The food is tasty, well-seasoned. We had the One Love Burrito, reuben sandwich, and quinoa salad. Everything was very good...and huge! Just a side note. If you have ever had vegan feta cheese, oftentimes, it tastes weird... usually has a plasticy aftertaste. Their vegan feta is delicious!
Friendly customer service.
Restaurant might be the only reason to go to Temecula!

Some things yes, some no

The brisket was stellar! I have had it a couple of times and it did not disappoint. On the other hand the buffalo cauliflower is not a keeper. Also I went by on a couple of Saturdays and they were closed. Very surprised!

Great reuben!

I wish I could have tried about half the menu. I stopped here when driving between San Diego and LA, making a detour and it was worth it. I love that in this random strip mall is such a great restaurant with an extensive menu.

I tried the reuben and was not disappointed. It was top notch and a nice salad as well. I also took away a peanut butter blondie which was excellent. All in all very solid restaurant which I would return to even if going out of my way. I enjoyed the outdoor seating as well. Definitely come here if you are anywhere in the area if you want a great vegan experience.

Pros: Great food, service was fast, Friendly staff

Mediocre at best

I’m sorry but it’s laughable that this place has such a high rating. Reason being is it was the only true vegan place here for a long time. It’s not that good I’ve tried places all over the country and this does not compare to mid level in other cities. The whole IE area of SoCal is a joke for vegan food. That being said when I first came to the area I tried their food a few times and got to the point I tried basically the whole menu. I do love their blt which is why it’s not a one star review and would make it higher to a three if I wasn’t compensating for the high grade this place somehow has. The fake meats are all fairly decent with bacon being best imo and the desserts which aren’t made in house always look mouthwatering but gentle grill doesn’t get credit there. Not a fan of most sauces they have nor am I of their fries especially the loaded ones which is a shame as I truly love fries as a whole. Try with an open mind but be honest with yourself. This isn’t the best place even a burger patch beats the flavors here

Pros: Clean, Smells good , Awesome staff

Cons: Over hyped, Mid at best for flavors, Menu confusing

Darn Good Gyro

I haven’t had a vegan gyro before, and I was impressed with what I ate. The lentil soup was decent and the s’mores dessert was interesting and tasty. Only problem I had was the loud, obnoxious music.

Best gluten free vegan breakfast

I forget what it was called, but just eggs, tater tots, spinach, avocado, vegan sour cream and pics de gallo made a great brunch on a day when I had to change my breakfast plans, and for only ten dollars. Super friendly place in Temecula, will definitely stop back for other vegan gluten free offerings next time I’m around!

Wonderful!

While visiting family in Temecula the Happy Cow app suggested The Gentle Grill. Little place, clean and shiny. Nice staff. Food AWESOME! Highly suggest the brisket sandwich. Homemade vegan treats for dessert. Can’t wait to come back.

Our local favorite!

There is nothing like having a local, ALL vegan place to eat with a ton of amazing, delicious options! Every time we eat at the Gentle Grill, we leave very full and happy. Our standard go-to's include the One Love Burrito, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Pastrami Sandwich, Beyond Burger, and the BLTA, along with the Gentle Fries or the Buffalo Avo-Tots. The staff is always incredibly friendly, and the restaurant has a nice seating area, either inside or outside. Often we take our food to go, and sit at a nearby park to enjoy. We bring our omni children, who always love the food, and recommend it to all of our friends.

Pros: AMAZING food!, Big portions, Very friendly staff.

Blessed & very thankful to have a fully VEGAN restaurant in the area.

I had a good experience. They will take good care of you and appreciate your business. Be kind and if you need something, ask gently and you will be met with the same.
