Excellent vegan fast food

Veggie Grill offers a good variety of burgers including ones with Beyond Burger patties. I took the steakhouse burger with vegan cheese and found it excellent. Nothing was missing in this burger. You really have plenty of vegan choices in a diner-like restaurant. Besides, portions were generous for a very decent price. Would recommend it without any doubt!

Pros: 100% vegan, very good food, quick service, many choices, affordable

The BEST vegan “fast” food in San Diego

The Best “Classic burger,” best fries, regular or sweet potato, made to order salt or no, best salads, all customized to your preferences and needs. Food is all amazing. Staff are awesome people. I’m vegan and GF and it’s perfect. Right next to a Burger joint and we never wish for one. You won’t be disappointed. It’s our go to fave and we live 1/2 mile from Plant Power in Encinitas. #Veganuary

Pros: Everything, Classic burger, Sweet potato fries unsalted

Cons: There is only one location, Same, Same

Can't Pass it by!

Great choice for vegan fast food. Great rotation of menu. It's an elevated fast food in my book. Great service and friendly staff every time. From healthy to fried, they have it.

Pros: Truffle mac, yikes so 😋 yum, Yoegg, Seasonal menu rotation

Classic Cesar Salad with grilled Beyond Beef

I have always love Cesar Salad.

Veggie Grill makes delicious classic Cesar Salad with your choice of proteins.

Needless to say, dressing is the most crucial part for any salad. The dressing is so delicious.

Pros: 100% Vegan, Great menu selection that non vegans like, Delicious dishes

Cons: Parking lot entrance a bit tight, Close by busy CostCo with gas station

So good!!

I got the Yo Egg Huevos Rancheros. This "fried egg" was so good! Even my non-vegan dad thought the egg was real. I also got chocolate chip cookies, they were very delicious. My bowl was bigger than I was expecting and very filling. Definitely will be coming back when I'm in the area!

Pros: Good serving size

Omg, so yumm!!!

We came here since it was super close to Legoland and we are beyond pleased to have come here. Every one of the items we got was delicious. Both kids, myself and husband all loved it. My incredibly picky 9 yr old said it was her favorite restaurant ever. We got the texmex nachos, crispy cauliflower, kid burger, kid chck’n tenders, and a buffalo chik’n sandwich.

Delicious, huge portions!

Amazingly delicious, huge portions! We got the Nashville Hot Chicken, carne asada loaded fries, and the Original burger. All of them were so tasty we came back a second day after going to Legoland!

Lots of parking and seating, great service.

“Fish” tacos 🙌

Delish fish tacos—don’t be fooled, you’ll eat both even tho they advertise it’s for two. Get both green & res salsa. Great ambience. Clean. Friendly & prompt staff. Two thumbs up. Ps. Skip the flavorless mac n cheez

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Mac n cheese flavorless

Great menu - lots of options

Veggie Grill never fails to impress. I had the Steakhouse Burger this time and swapped the beyond burger for a veggie burger. The veggie burger was just okay though - it broke apart too easily and the texture was a bit off.

Pros: Lots of options including good salads, Service is always quick, Dessert

Cons: Veggie burger was just okay

Delicious vegan food

Me and my kids go here a lot. My son orders the wings and I love the Caesar salad. I’ve tried so many things on the menu and have loved them all but I always order the Caesar- that dressing is perfection #Veganuary

Pros: The whole menu is vegan , WFBP options + some vegan junk food options too, Quick and friendly service

Vegan Burger & Nachos

I inhaled the VG burger in a matter of minutes, it was so good!

The nachos have liquid cheese rather than melted shredded cheese so I had to get them - wonderful and the taco meat was really good too!!

Pros: All Vegan!

Cons: Kinda expensive, fries dont come with burger

Convenient

First time in California and needed some fuel before getting back on the road. Happy to have found this place, quick and convenient. I ordered off the mass veggies taqueria menu - the food was delicious. Four stars because I ordered a burrito but got a taco.

Great plant-based fast food concept

I really enjoyed the Santa Fe Chickin' sandwich and Carrot Cake. This place is a great example of how animal products are not required to maximize taste. #Veganuary

Nice Menu, Poor Execution

I was excited about Veggie Grill opening nearby. They have great sandwich options. Sadly, they don't put as much effort into preparation as they do their menu. The food was poorly prepared. All dishes were cold. The children's dish had absolutely no flavor. There seems to be heavy reliance on oils.

Lastly, the prices are a bit high, especially considering the lack of effort in the kitchen. Still very glad to see Veg*n options appearing mainstream. Hope they focus more on quality, as opposed to speed (fast food model)

Update: Years later, came back to say the food preparation has improved. But, the children's menu is still poor.

Pros: Great Menu Options

Cons: Poor Food Preparation, Some Dishes Lacked Flavor, Greasy Food

Lots of options

Glad that it is all vegan but I wish there was healthier/ whole food options that weren’t just salad bowls and oil free meals. The beyond burger is expensive but tastes good, fries are extra but the burger is already more than $10.. I didn’t like the mac n cheese. The broccoli is delicious. The lux burger is good. The taco bowl is good. The cookies and brownies are good. Love the lemonade. The mashed potatoes are good. The crispy chick’n burger is ok.

Pros: Lots of options

Cons: Expensive , Not many healthy options

Yummy food

Deducted a star because both times we visited Carlsbad location, to DINE IN, the cashier tried to give us a single use plastic cup..(they have reusable cups). I’m not sure if the plastic ones are compostable/biodegradable? It just doesn’t make sense to hand on single use cups when customers are dining in. Seems wasteful and expensive....

Pros: Moderate size menu, Lovely teas and horchata , Variety of menu items, tacos, salads, burgers

Cons: Plastic cups
