Good Stuff!

I ate the meatball sub. I thought it was delicious and it was super filling. I'll definitely be back!

Lots of Tasty Options

I love Veg 'N Out. I wish they were only vegan. There are so many good options on the menu, the portions are decent and the prices reasonable. I don't like how they charge extra for vegan and they sometimes try to charge extra for the one burger on the menu listed as vegan. Last time I went there I had the Western Burger and it's my new favorite. I wish the potato wedges were fresher or just fries because they get soggy when you get take out.

Pros: Good portion sizes, Reasonable prices, Selection

Cons: not all vegan

Veg N' Out

The western burger was delicious. The onion rings were good for about two minutes then they turned a bit hard. Friendly service. Would go back again. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with a bungalow feel.

Pros: Large portions, Friendly service

Yummy vegan eats!

The service here was really friendly, the vegan burgers were DELICIOUS and HUGE. I got one with the veggie patty, and it had avocado, sprouts, jalapenos, etc. It was soooo yummy! The only complaint I have about this place is that they charge you more to make things vegan, and it should be the other way around!

Pros: amazing food, good prices, huge portions

Cons: charge more for vegan

great veg burger joint

Great vegetarian burger joint. The Tree Hugger was soooo good! My hubbie, who is a meat eater, really liked the BBQ Western.

Service was great too! No complaints here.

Yummy casual food

We really like Veg N Out. It's great for kids, even has vegan and veggie kid menu items. The burger patties are made there, not frozen processed things, and there are a ton of different choices.

There is also a Vegan Happy Hour every first and third Wednesday, with even more affordable vegan fare, and a reggae DJ. Very fun place with good, healthy food.

Pros: healthy, kid friendly, cheap

Cons: no waitstaff

Didn't care for it

We were in town and trying out a few restaurants, I ordered their big vegan burger, it wasn't that tasty and fell apart as I ate it. If it was in a smaller town as it's own vegy restaurant, I'd go back, but since there are many other options... Meh.

Good junk food

All I have to say is thank goodness for Veg 'N Out and their later hours (open until 10PM). We arrived in San Diego late on Friday night and I was fortunate that this place was open (my Happycow app showed everything else closing at 9PM). We got our food to-go, so I can't comment too much on the restaurant/service, so I'll just talk about the food. I ordered the Ultimate Vegan Burger consisting of their homemade veg patty, sprouts, cucumber, tomatoes, pickles, onions, Vegenaise, and Follow Your Heart Cheese. The burger was HUGE (it was almost like two burgers in one) and it came with an equally as large side of fries. The burger was really good, although I'm not the biggest fan of the Follow Your Heart cheese, but it may have been much better with Daiya. The fries were also tasty, but I couldn't finish them, there was just too much food! Overall it's a good junk food place and I'd go back again.

nice place

The food was good, but the evening didn't go perfectly. The food was pretty expensive. got the meatball sandwich, was very good, but could have used a couple more meatballs and sauce for the price. my friend had the hash brown patty burger and loved it. The mint iced tea was very good. We were excited to order the chili, but they were out which was sad. The food came out really slowly, it took 30 minutes from the time we ordered to get our food, so don't be in a hurry if you go there. There is limited seating which was full when we got there. They have a nice patio, but it was very cold and there were no heaters on it. I saw some people sitting out there because there were no tables inside and they looked sad and cold. Would try again, but only for takeout.
Updated from previous review on Thursday March 19, 2009:
Went again, and service was much faster this time, went earlier and there were free tables, though they were full by the time we left. Corn dog was good, soup could have used some more seasoning and wedge fries weren't crispy enough. Still really enjoyed it though.

WOW

When it comes to food, Veg N' Out has almost perfected their burger recipes. In particular the T-Bird Burger is one of the best combination's of food ever put together. It needed a slight modification with BBQ sauce (requested from the kitchen) and, cayenne pepper and pepper(from the table.)

The sweet/tart flavors of the BBQ sauce and hash browns with a hint of heat from the cayenne pepper to enhance the overall effect have the T-bird flavors melting in your mouth, while the texture of the crunchy hash browns and the softness of the avocado mesh in harmony. UMMM, YUMMMY... Whoever created this recipe should go in the "Veggie Goodness Hall of Fame"

The girl who sold me the T-bird claimed she invented it. She was very helpful and sweet.

The only complaint of the restaurant is the Chipolte sauce. Its made with Ranch dressing. Its a shame when Vegan Ranch can be made easily. This one issue takes away about half of the burger options away for vegans.

Pros: taste of food, helpfulness of staff

Cons: onion rings aren't vegan, limited choice of vegan burgers

I was not impressed

I ordered the Bali Bowl which was a special up on the board behind the cash register the day that I ate here. I wasn't feeling any of the vegan burger options. I was not impressed with this meal. It sounded good - a bowl of seasoned rice, steamed veggies, and tofu in some kind of a sauce. The rice was cooked in an interesting seasoning but was at the bottom of the bowl so you didn't immediately taste it. The tofu needed to be cooked longer and needed more seasoning. I asked for soy sauce and they didn't have any. The vegetables were steamed but not mixed in with the rice. They should have tasted this special before they served it. There was nothing "special" about it.(To be fair though - I just worked at a vegan restaurant as a chef for the last few months which definetely makes me more critical.) The salad that came with my special was bland and I did not eat it. I also ordered the potato wedges since I was really hungry when I went. They were too hot too eat when I first got them. Though they were impressive in size - and in the fact that they were wedges of fresh potato they were in dire need of seasonings. (Like the fries at Native Foods or at Pure Luck in LA.) Everyone else that was there seemed to be enjoying their food, but I thought it was mediocre. Also, I didn't see much in the way of a dessert selection though I wouldn't have been inclined to have bought dessert from them after my unsatifying lunch. If you are looking for a cheap and satisfying vegan meal while in San Diego go to the People's Co-op in Ocean Beach or to Nature's Express which is an all vegan fast-food place. The one good thing about this place is the location on University near Balboa Park/the zoo. My Aunt and I had spent the day at the zoo which is extremely un-vegan friendly. But still, if you are starving and near the zoo there are other vegan places close by - and lots of other restaurants that could easily cater to vegans.Don't sit at the table with the view of the kitchen if you want to see staff touching vegetables/other food items without wearing gloves. I hope that this isn't a normal practice for them and maybe I just happened to see them the one time they forgot. On the plus side, the prices seemed to be reasonable.

Pros: near the zoo , reasonable prices

Cons: special was bland and not special, medicore/unimpressive food, better for vegetarians than for vegans

Nice Vegan Dive

The loaded Vegan Hot dog - the vegan cheese is really good. they just kind of toss some vegan follow your heart on top (cold). The ultimate vegan burger is the best. Very friendly service.

Pros: hotdog, ultimate vegan, nice service

Cons: a dive

Very Good!

We went to this place on a recent trip to San Diego. I had the Very Vegan Burger. It was REALLY good and extrememly filling. My friend had the BBQ Chicken (not vegan) and he really liked it. This is a nice, small, friendly place. We both highly recommend it. We plan to return next time we are in San Diego.

Pros: filling, lots of vegan options, friendly service

Cons: not completely vegan

nothing about this place was too impressive. the food was pretty bland and the staff seemed a bit bothered by us being there, but maybe they were just having a bad day. its rather expensive for what it is. i probably wont be going back.

Pros: plenty of vegan options

Cons: bland food, pricey

Fast vegetarian food

One of the few vegetarian options for late dining (open until 10pm Friday & Saturday). We ordered the Avocado tempura (good), chili (delicious), Very Vegan (not vegan by default, surprisingly), a Rasta(?) burger, and carrot cake (sold out, we got chocolate cake instead). The cucumber salad that came with my sandwich wasn't to my taste, but I enjoyed everything else.

Pros: Value, Menu options, Open late on weekends

Cons: Location, Cleanliness, Parking

Yummy Veg Food in SD!

Been to this place a few times now and it's always very tasty. Nice large portions at reasonable prices. The Very Vegan sandwich is amazing and a *must try*! Excellent mint iced tea too.

The service is lacking at times and tends to be slow. Although I'm not a vegetarian (just love vegetarian options) I hear that the place isn't very strict, so don't expect that if you go.

Pros: Delicious, Large Portions, Great Value

Cons: Slow Service, Order at Counter
