A vegan gem built on pure heart + incredible flavors - Edit
Veg & Go is one of the most heartfelt vegan restaurants I’ve ever visited. This family pours genuine love and intention into everything they do — from the way they welcome you in, to the way every dish carries their mission of “peace in every bite.”
Read moreThe food? SO good. Flavorful, comforting, and made with care. You can feel the passion behind every plate. Whether you’re vegan or just curious, this is the place that makes people say, “Wait… are you sure this is vegan?”
Beyond the food, their impact on the community is what moved me the most. They opened during a pandemic, they’ve fed evacuees during the LA fires, and they’ve been showing up for people in meaningful ways ever since. This is a family-run spot worth supporting, protecting, and celebrating.
If you’re anywhere near Riverside, pull up and show them love.
And if you’re not close by, at least keep them on your must-visit list — they deserve the support.
Veg & Go is truly a gift to the vegan community. 🫀🌱✨

Best spot in riverside - Edit
I've been a few times, this place is amazing. A lot of takes on popular fast food options, but muuuch better than the OGs. My go to is the Mac Zaddy and regular "wild style" fries. The dessert options vary but the cookies are great, if they have oatmeal cookies definitely go for it.
Read morePros: All vegan! , I've loved everything I've had, Owner is super chill and fun to talk to

Great food and service - Edit
I liked that the moment I entered the restaurant I was greeted and helped. I was unsure what their gluten free options would be so I appreciated that I was told exactly what was gluten free. I got the Mc Zaddy combo and it was really good. I wish I hadn’t gotten the combo though because all the sodas were flat so I ended up getting water. I was also surprised that they didn’t have restrooms within the restaurant so that was an inconvenience. Overall the food is good and I would go back and simply do a pick up order. #Veganuary
Read morePros: The staff was helpful., The staff was friendly. , Easy parking.
Cons: The sodas were all flat. , No restrooms in the restaurant.

Delicious & Out Of This World! - Edit
My favorite place when I am in Riverside(walking distance from U.C.R), better yet, the whole entire Inland Empire. I would rate this place more stars if I could. Very welcoming environment & vibes. The food is always delicious and we can taste the love that goes into the food. I love the Wild-west, Alien Invasion(secret menu), Cali-Star Burrito(secret menu), all the wings, Vixen Salad 🥗, all Fries wildstyle(like animal-style), ASTRO ASADA FRIES(secret menu), SPICY CHICK, all the hot dogs. Hot dogs I usually order 2 at a time because 1 just isn't enough. Almost everything we tried is delicious. Love it all! Dessert are always great too & vegan Ice cream. The staff is always friendly, Nice & welcoming. Love the decor as well. This place is a must try when you're in RIVERSIDE or Southern California.

Very consistent with their burgers - Edit
I wish I had photos to share but I get lost in the food. This place is such a delicious consistent burger place. I've tried the Classic Peace Burger, Mac-Zaddy Burger, Wild Style Fries, wingz, and a bite of the Outlaw Burger, and let me tell you this place has something that many restaurants lack and that is consistency! That is one of the three main things I look for when I eat at a new place. First is the deliciousness of the food, which hit the mark. Two, the vibe of the place, which every time the staff has been chill, friendly, and welcoming. Third, is how consistent they are with their food and overall service...they hit the mark every time. The fries are always crispy and perfectly seasoned (they do not lack flavor), the burgers are always on point, and the wingz have such a perfect crisp to them that you don't even realize they are vegan AND their sodas are quite tasty and crisp.
Read moreWith that said, here are a few opportunities for them. The veg rolls are not as flavorful as they should be. The peace dogs do need more improvement in taste especially for that price. It’s unfortunate that they charge an additional dollar if you want your burger as a lettuce wrap. The desserts have been a miss every time. The cakes are too oily and lack the flavor they are supposed to be. Other than that, as I mentioned before the burgers are always consistently delicious.
Pros: The burgers have always been consistent, The Wild-style fries are great , Chill vibes
Cons: The veg rolls need improvement , The desserts lack flavors

Great Burger Spot - Edit
It's one of my favorite food spots in the IE! I love their burgers and “wild-style fries”. My go-to burger is the “Mac Zaddy” which is their version of the Big Mac and it’s the best. Another one that I love (which is on their secret menu) is the “Outlaw”. It’s a chickin sandwich with bacon, onion rings, jalapeños, and BBQ sauce. This place is always consistent, I can trust that my food will come out delicious. What makes this place special for me is a friendly and welcoming environment. Brandon in particular feels like family, always providing a genuine connection. Go get yourself a burger you won’t be disappointed.

Veg & Go has the best vegan chickn sandwiches! I primarily eat at vegan / vegetarian restaurants and Veg & Go surpasses their competitors. The food is really good, tastes fresh and not greasy, and is made to order quickly. The staff are really pleasant and friendly. Their French fries and sweet potato fries are good. And they serve Stubborn brand fountain sodas, very tasty.
