What can I say, watch out fast food, here comes the "Veggie Grill". With plans to spread out across America this place could be a hopeful turning point for a lot of carnivores. It runs a little heavy on the processed foods (seitan and tempeh) but for the most part it is a welcome addition to the blasé faire of California vegetarian cuisine ("I'm a vegetarian but I eat chicken and fish once in a while"). Great service from excellent staff who actually remember you and know what it is they are serving. Some of the food can be a little messy, like the BBQ sandwich, otherwise it is a fine experience and one I would not hesitate to endorse.
I took two colleagues to The Veggie Grill (one is semi-vegetarian and the other is non-veg) and both of them loved it. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food offered (BIG sandwiches).
My Santa Fe Crispy Chickin sandwich was delicious---excellent textures, flavors and fresh ingredients. The Chill Out Wings were also breaded little marvels. One colleague's V-Burger had an excellent meaty texture and the other colleague's carne asada was straight out of Mexico, it seemed.
We also enjoyed our carrot cake and vegan pumpkin cheesecake, which were refreshing and not too sweet, though also rich and creamy.
Service was fast and friendly and the decor is modern, bright and inviting. The place gets packed around lunch time, so make sure to go early or late, as otherwise there will be a line to get in!
Veggie Grill is a fun place to eat if you're not looking for a fancy atmosphere. For vegetarian fast food, I think it's as good as it gets. The "wings" appetizer is terrific. For sandwiches, I recommend the Santa Fe Crispy Chickin' (my favorite!), the Carne Asada, the Grillin' Chickin', and Papa's Portobello, all of which I like to get with the Spring Mix Salad with chipotle ranch dressing. I love their carrot cake, which is moist and has a creamy frosting with just the right amount of sweetness. Mmm.
Veggie Grill is also affordable for LA. Dinner for two usually costs us $30 to $35. And since everything on the menu is vegan, we don't have to ask a lot of questions to figure out what we can eat there.
