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

Solid vegan chain

Veggie grill is a reliable chain with tons of options. Their burgers are delicious and their seasonal items are always fun to try! I still think about the pulled Pork sandwich from like 5 years ago, really wish that would make a comeback!

A fan fave!

I always love Veggie Grill! I was thrilled to see one right next to Legoland. They’ve added smoothies. Even though almost the entire menu has changed, we still liked it and the pesto chicken parm was great.

Pros: Kids menu!, Smoothies , Good selection

Easy Go-To

Great spot to pick if you have kids or a dining companion that might be experiencing conflicting nutritional wants with you at the moment!

I like Veggie Grill a lot—the food is good and the menu is varied enough that you can eat healthy and or sate unhealthier cravings in the same sitting if that’s what you are feeling. It’s mostly diner type food- burgers, chikn sandwiches, nachos, chikn tenders, fries etc. But also they have salads that eat as a meal and grain bowls with tempeh/tofu and greens etc.

Pros: Love the all vegan menus always!, Solid brand, hasn’t let me down yet , Nice selection, they even have a few dessert items

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

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

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.
