Great Find - Edit
We had two great sandwiches at Grass Fed. They were just what we needed after an afternoon at the Memorial Art Gallery. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Rochester.

Yummy - Edit
I found this place online and then started following on ig. Tried a few of their sandwiches. Absolutely delicious. Went back then the next day and tried two different sandwiches. I'm excited to be able to eat anything off the menu! Highly recommend.

Wow! - Edit
I was fully unprepared for how good this would be. I had the turkey club and everything about it was perfect. The turkey and bacon were fabulous, but the real sign that they’re serious about their sandwiches was the fixins - these are often ignored. Not at Grass Fed! Also, as a note, the staff seemed to be having a fabulous time with each other, which shows it’s probably a great environment to work in and should be supported.

italian sandwiches! - Edit
I was blown away by this sandwich. Also they offer a bangin deal to add chips a cookie & drink for only $4. I can’t recommend the pastrami enough. Like a classic italian deli sandwich i'd get out in North Jersey or Long island when I was young long before I was vegan.

Turkey Club ! - Edit
Have we driven 1 hour from buffalo to get here just for lunch or dinner and then back, Yes. A vegan “meat” shop, What? This place is incredible and the staff is amazing. All the sandwiches are delicious but I feel that the Turkey club is just an absolute must.

So glad they're here - Edit
Considering how rare vegan delis/"butcheries" are, I was pleasantly surprised when they opened and so happy they're in town. Excellent sandwiches, holiday offerings (their turk'y loaf was great!), and vegan meats by the pound in the case. Don't sleep on the cookies either!

Wow! - Edit
This place makes their own vegan meats out of seitan: turkey, ham, pastrami, bacon,etc. you can take it home or ask for sandwiches to eat on the functional seating inside the store. I had the double-decker turkey plus bacon sandwich, and my friends had other type of vegan meat sandwiches, they all taste great. I wish they were a place like this closer to where I live!

Consistently good - Edit
I just love this place! I am working my way thru their menu. The sandwiches are creative, reasonably priced, and consistently good. Staff is friendly and attentive. They are worth the drive but I love that I can get their cold sandwiches in my local market. I usually get the sandwich combo because the cookies are delicious!

So many options! - Edit
This was our first time visiting since it’s a newer restaurant. The portions were a tad bit smaller than I expected, but ended up being very filling regardless. The owner was very nice and suggested other new veg places in roc to visit. I had a salami cold sandwich and it was amazing, especially the bread which was quite saturated with the oil and vinegar, yet incredibly crispy on the crust - a dream. My husband got the monte cristo and loved it. It was soft enough my 15 month old was eating bites of it. I tried some of the ham, and said “what does ham even taste like?” And my husband tried to explain it to no avail. Once I tasted it, I overwhelmingly remembered what it tasted like. It’s been over a decade since I’ve had meat, and I can’t tell the difference between many mock meats, but that one bite made me say, damn, that’s what ham tasted like!! Wish we could have gone again.
Read morePros: Authentic mock meat flavors , Tasty filling sandwiches
Cons: A little bit pricy

Fantastic- wish I lived closer! - Edit
Can’t wait to go back for more! We visited roc from Syracuse and grabbed a few different ‘meats’ to try. They were out of the gouchjang sausage but would like to get that too next time! Bacon was great in BLTs and pepperoni on pizzas was so yummy. Thanks for marking flavorful and creative choices for us!

Perfect! - Edit
Since we don't get to the city much, we like to try a vegan eatery when we go. And we always get large orders to go when we do. This place. We started with lunch, and we ordered two hot sandwiches, each cut in half to share, of course! So good! Then we ordered lunch meat to make our own subs later and steaks to grill later. What a treat!!

Excellent vegan option in Rochester - Edit
What a delight to go here on a visit to Rochester! The sandwiches were a revelation, and they also offer a meal deal with a soft drink and a cookie. There is a deli counter where you can buy different kinds of 'meat', and that also looked like a terrific option for anyone who lives locally and wants to try out some of their options at home.
