I had the buffalo wings and was so swept away that I couldn't leave without the east coast fries. Everything was vegan of course (duh). I'm new to this lifestyle so I had to write a review. Check it out! read more

This place is the Bomb! If you're a carnivore, you're gonna love it too. The food is delicious. The service was friendly and welcoming. It's a great casual place to chill. read more

If you're vegan, vegetarian, or just want to eat some delicious healthy food head over to Green. Fantastic options for all. I used come here all the time during my undergrad and always loved the food and service. My partner is a vegetarian and he is a big fan. This is a must stop every time we visit family in AZ. Our most recent trip was just as fun. We started off with the buffalo wings which had an excellent crunch paired with a spicy buffalo sauce. I was very impressed with the sauce. For our main dishes I ordered the peanut chick'n salad which came with a yummy peanut sauce and plenary of greens. The mock chick'n was crunchy and filling. I'm a meat eater and I really enjoy the mock chick'n here. My partner ordered the spicy po'boy. He devoured the whole sandwich and loved the spice. We've eaten at a lot of vegan/vegetarian places but this by far our favorite place to go. Wish they had these branches in San Francisco. We would be there everyday! read more

The regular menu items are delicious, but the penne rustica special today was 10/10! Super friendly staff, and fast food.

All the good: I have eaten at vegan joints all over the country at this point and also love to cook food that would make a non vegan do a double take when they take a bite. But Green has most definitely perfected that art. We have tried everything on the menu as well as a ridiculous amount of their specials over our year and a half of living in AZ. The portions are great, the flavors never leave anything lacking, and all of the sauces are INSANE(Even if you just get their thyme fries, I highly recommend just trying the different sauces that way). The prices are reasonable and you definitely get more than what you pay for. We find it difficult to go to other restaurants in the area just based off of the value alone. Some vegan places are notorious for being pricey AND also having smaller portions, Green breaks that rule! It is always clean and the seating outside is a great addition when the weather makes sense. The case of drinks/drink cooler really covers the spectrum of flavors and I have enjoyed everything I have tried from it. The art on the walls and overall vibe is solid and fun, but simple. Counter service and they bring out the food. EVERY SINGLE TIME they ask if there is anything else that you need and they are very attentive if you do! They definitely have some wonderful humans employed there. All around smiles and positive energy. The things I feel could use a little love: The music...I love all types of music and can really vibe with anything for the most part. I feel like 9 times out of 10 it is 80s new wave or like a vampire disco and I just don't get it lol. Anything else. Alternative, pop, chill, indie, acoustic, something top 40, even folk or lofi would fit the vibe better. The alcohol prices and selection. I have managed restaurants in the past and I know that it is far from a "bar" vibe, but having reasonably priced drinks would definitely lead to people ordering another drink more often. Lastly the happy hour. I could make a spread sheet with the average cost we spend at Green because of how often we eat there, and happy hour doesn't change the price even enough to notice a difference. Overall: The pros outweigh any tiny con a hundred fold, and even with the small things, it is still my favorite restaurant EVER. Truly. No joke. No lie. Even before I was vegan I don't think I ever enjoyed food as much as Green. In the 13 states I have lived plus many more passing through, Green is my number one hands down. It is the place that I would bring any non vegan and KNOW that they would enjoy it. Possibly blow their mind and open it to veganism in that process. read more

Food: 5/5 Buffalo Wings: Crispy outside with meaty inside. The sauces are delicious and mimic real wings. Thyme Fries: The fries were crispy and aromatic. Cookies N Cream tSoynami: The ice cream was creamy and rich while the toppings elevate the dessert to DQ blizzard status. read more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Green New American Vegetarian, and while we enjoyed the overall experience, there were a few hiccups that prevented us from giving it a full five stars. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, and the staff were friendly, but the service was just okay.The main reason for the four-star rating was our order of West Coast fries, which unfortunately arrived drenched in sauce and served cold. This was a bit disappointing as we were looking forward to trying them. However, the saving grace was the deliciousness of our Big WAC burgers. They were flavorful, satisfying, and a definite highlight of the meal. Despite the minor issues with our order, we appreciated the efforts of the staff and the quality of the food overall. With some improvements in service and attention to detail, Green New American Vegetarian has the potential to be a five-star dining destination. We would consider returning in the future, especially for those mouthwatering Big WAC burgers. read more

WOAH! This place took me by surprise and won my heart (and hunger) over. With my vegan-eating-practice in full-swing, I was looking for an epic "last day of my vacation" vegan meal; and oh woman, did Green New American DELIVER. For starters, the restaurant has an open-space concept and has mostly booth seating along with a couple tables. (Fantastic for social distancing) It's got a chic/hipster/artsy vibe with enjoyable music in the background. You can place your order at the front counter and if you're dining in, are given a number placard to place on your table. Let's move on to the good stuff; THE FOOD! I wanted my taste buds to tingle so I went ahead and ordered the award-winning buffalo chicken wings with housemade ranch. These were unbelievably delicious!! The faux wings were hot, fresh, crispy, had the perfect amount of sauce, and were really elevated with the ranch. This was my absolute favorite thing out of my order. I also had the Santa Monica Burger special - which was tasty and very filling. I quite enjoyed the combination of the grilled poblano with the crunchy onions - YUM! Lastly, I ordered a side of the fried Brussels sprouts - which were a no-go for me. I really tried to like these, but they were overloaded with salt and were borderline inedible. I couldn't leave without trying the tSoynami - especially since it's been so long since I've had vegan ice cream. I was feeling explorative so I went ahead and ordered the MASH (where you are given a mystery flavor/assortment of toppings - you just select if you'd like a vanilla, chocolate, or swirl base) I cannot tell you what all of the toppings were in my tSoynami but OH MY GOSH was it astronomically and explosively delicious. This officially won the award of "the vegan ice cream that changed my life". Please do your tastebuds a favor and order a tSoynami! Asides from the majorly disappointing Brussels sprouts, all else was a homerun! I highly recommend making the drive over to this spot for some absolutely delectable vegan/vegetarian friendly food. I will definitely be stopping here for a bite the next time I am in town! read more

So far I've had the wings and the Big Wac burger... This is the best vegan/vegetarian food I've ever tried, I'm really impressed, this honestly just made my day read more

Whew! This food was amazing! I got their regular burger and added cheese. It was soooo good. Hands down the best vegan burger I've ever had. I want to go back!! I ordered their Buffalo wings but even though I loved the sauce and the crispy outside, the inside was too mushy for me. I can't eat soft textures so it didn't work well for me even though the flavor was very good. I didn't eat all of them. I also ordered the spinach queso fundido which was basically like spinach artichoke dip and it was very good. I loved the staff. The place was casual but very creative inside. My only negative was that I spent 20+ minutes waiting for my wings and spinach dip. I received my burger within maybe 10 minutes of ordering. Everything was fresh and hot, though. I'd definitely come back for another treat! read more

Some food is hit or miss -- but overall, amazing place with amazing food and staff. Dabogah jungle salad, greek salad = on point. Fire noodles = favorite dish. Unpopular opinion: skip the big wac. Aftertaste is strange. Skip the damn dan also. I've been spoiled by dan dan over the years and again, weird aftertaste for me. I miss the hummus. One of the best hummus we've had, and it's been off the menu for a while. Would love that to be brought back. read more

First time here and was pleasantly surprised. It came recommended from my vegetarian friend who suggested the BFF which is a vegan chicken sandwich. At first I had no desire to try but was convinced because it came with jalapeños and guacamole ....it was delish. My friend who is not vegetarian has the Big WAC said it was good, it tasted like a Big Mac. :-) had the fries with thyme and they were good. We would definitely recommend and I will return. Excited to try samosas next time read more

This was my First time at the restaurant today, great vibe, clean, friendly staff. I loved the Damn Dan Noodles which had the perfect spice. Almost at the whole bowl even though it was huge!

I tried Green as a work lunch with some of my colleagues. One of them is a vegetarian and she invited us to try out Green as a way of experiencing vegan food options. I had the "fried chicken" sandwich with a side of thyme fries. It was very delicious! The fries were probably one of the best fries I've ever had, with great seasoning, not too salty at all. The chicken sandwich was very good as well, with a huge resemblance to an actual fried chicken sandwich. A few weeks later, I was missing the thyme fries so much so I went back to Green with my boyfriend and our puppy. We were able to sit on the patio, which was super nice to be able to dine with our puppy. My boyfriend tried the "big mac" and I got the chicken nuggie with fries. As an all-diet eater, I could still tell the "chicken" was not real, but I do feel healthy and proud of myself for taking care of my health. I also tried their Sangria, and the server brought me a huge jar, like huge huge jar. It was freshly made and very yummy. Given the affordable price of their cocktails, I think it is definitely worthwhile to go for drinks and snacks with friends. read more

I forgot my oatmeal cookie! That's what reminded me to look to see if I had reviewed Green yet... It's about time I've been going there for YEARS! Always great vegan food and top notch service. I have had most of their menu but my top choices I keep going back for are the BFF. Wendy's Pickle. And the Big Wac, which is their take on a Big Mac. Pair that with the fries and it's a meal that will leave you totally full. And to the people behind the counter mad props to you all for being so kind to make sure there wasn't any cashew products in what I eat as that's an epi pen or ER visit for me. And thanks again for replacing the oatmeal cookie I inadvertently left behind a few days ago. I wish I coulda gave you all hugs today (I'm a hugger) but you'd probably think that was kinda creepy lol, so I'll leave this good review for you. Thank you so much! read more

This whole experience here was odd, in a good way. The restaurant is not much to look at but they do have comfortable booths. So I had no idea what to try, I just picked the Buffalo "Wings" and east coast fries and a drink. For the drink I got some magical "drink" called Electric Nectar, but it tasted like nothing I have ever tasted. It was good, but it didn't taste like anything I could describe. I don't know if it was a tea or a juice, it is over by the jugs where the tea is located. The wingz came out before the fries but these are not shaped like wings. These are like little squares of "meatless meat" doused in their delicious buffalo wing sauce. It tasted so odd, absolutely NOTHING like a chicken wing, so don't set your expectations there. They are good though and I ordered it twice in the same visit. The east coast fries were really delicious. I was surprised to see that the vegan cheese was really melted, the ranch and buffalo sauce really gave it a good kick. I would say that any vegan or vegetarian should try this place. read more

So good we came here twice while in town. The staff is friendly and helpful, the ambiance is fun, and everything was delicious. This is comfort/junk food for vegans. My favorite was the Secret BBQ Sammy and the Brussels sprouts, but the tahini coleslaw is really good too. There's plenty of parking out front, gender-neutral bathrooms, lots of indoor seating, and some outdoor seating. read more

Wanted to try a nice local vegan restaurant and this place does it all! Everything is vegetarian or vegan and delicious , so hard to choose! I got the BFF chicken sandwich and it came loaded with toppings and vegan cheddar and sauces , so good, also got a side of west coast fries topped with cheese and thousand island dressing were so tasty too! A little on the pricey side but you get top quality Ingredients and the portions are quite filling so it is worth TBH. Next time I return I might try a different sandwich bc they have so many tasty sounding options but definitely worth checking out and I'd recommend, this place does it right and has some great cooks! Well done so good!! read more

The Big WAC was my favorite item, but I haven't had it since they've started adding beyond meat to it. Before that it was beyond delicious. I now stick to anything that doesn't have the beyond meat in it. If I could get the Big WAC without the Beyond meat, I would probably eat there twice a week or more. Great food, great people, just miss the old Big Wac. read more

This is a weekly staple for me and my family! If you are looking for a delicious, fun, plant based restaurant, this is the place! It's a super relaxed environment and employees are helpful!

The big wac is good. Go with their recommendation. I didn't and chose the Chicago cheesesteak. It needed more tempeh. It was also greasy. The chili fries was a big disappointment. It was chili in a bowl and French fries. You could not put the chili over the fries as it's too watery. Also the chili is lacking heat. read more

My partner's family was in town and his uncle doesn't eat much meat, so Green was perfect as it provided a variety of vegetarian and meat dishes. It was a windy, sunny day, which made it difficult to take advantage of their patio, and we ended up moving inside. The staff was friendly and provided excellent suggestions. I had the falafel and they provided plenty of hummus to go along with it. The falafel was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The flavor was stellar and it was made even more delicious with the dips. The pita was fresh, warm and very good. I usually don't eat a lot of bread, but I ended up eating about three all on my own. I did not try the other dishes ordered, but everyone was full and satisfied by the time we were done. read more

This place was right on time. Had a and can never trust there will be good vegan options at the airport. The Dagobah Jungle salad was so flavorful with their jerk seasoned fried brussel sprouts. This was not a spicy dish just packed with flavor. The dressing was bold and creamy and a great compliment. This was followed by the seitan cheese steak. The bread was soft yet held up well against the densely packed sandwich. It was a chewy delight. Dessert was the densest peanut butter bar ever. Had all this crunch embedded and a layer of chocolate on top. Absolutely will return to this place again. read more

I first visited Green many years ago and after 12 years, I have finally returned. A bit has changed since my last visit but with overall such positive reviews on Yelp, they all appeared to be for the better. This time, I ordered the sesame dragon, which comprised of spicy garlic, ginger, organic tamari, and toasted organic chickpea miso, topped with fresh scallions ($10.50). While the flavors, ingredients and portion were fine, I was left underwhelmed with my overall experience. I waited a long time for my takeout order and the staff didn't seem attentive to the customers. Also, most of their menu comprises of spicy selections, not leaving many options for those who like a light spiciness or none at all. When I ordered the sesame dragon, I asked for the sauce on the side. Without the sauce, the dish itself had plenty of flavor. I didn't end up using the sauce at all. I know this place is great for vegan and GF options and for those who like spice. I've heard many positive things about Green from those with diets as I just have specified. Perhaps, I'm just not their targeted demographic and that's okay. So, while I wouldn't say my experience was negative, I appreciate the fact that this is a thriving local business in the valley. However, for me, it may be another 12 years before I return. read more

We recently made the switch to a whole-food plant-based diet and we immediately started our search for restaurants around the state that served our new fare. It has been a fun adventure finding new restaurants and new foods at our favorite restaurants. Green is on of our new restaurants and it immediately became a go-to. They have a great variety to choose from, whether it is burgers, sandwiches, rice bowls, even ice cream! Service has always been great and very friendly and there is plenty of seating both inside and outside on a nice little patio. At this restaurant you order at the counter and then pick a seat and they bring your food to you. I have enjoyed each of our visits here and look forward to the next one. I highly recommend whether you are a vegan or not, everything has been delicious! Pros: *Everything is Vegan *Tons of choices *Kids menu *Friendly and efficient service *Great beer list *It also has yummy treats Cons: *None that I can think of! read more

This is an amazing vegan gem in Scottsdale. Hidden in a strip mall, this place should have a Jumbotron drawing you in. Don't let the non descript exterior turn you away. It's really eclectic on the inside. Young man at counter was super friendly and helpful with the menu, supportive of a first time customer. Could not have been more helpful. Really hate there were no pics of the BFF sandwich I devoured recently. It was incredible. Lightly fried chicken flavored tofu with sautéed jalapeños. Phenomenal. Had a side of tahini slaw. Thank you for adding flavor and not skimping. Savory and not dry. Super tahini flavor in fact. Even the drinks were great. The strawberry lemonade mixed with the lime was a great mix that demanded seconds. Will eat there at least once every time in Scottsdale! read more

It was a last-minute split decision on where to go for dinner, we ended up here and very glad that we did. I was hungry for my favorite Sandwich: the Chicago cheesesteak. As always, we topped it off with dessert - the Chocolate mashup. Zack at the front counter helped us out, very friendly and nice and made some good sandwich suggestions. The other location in Phoenix usually puts plenty of ingredients in the sandwich - vegan meat, cheese, spicy pickles, tomatoes, mayo, lettuce; and the ice cream is often overflowing. I mentioned it because the last time I was here my sandwich had very little cheese and mayo. I'm glad that I mentioned it because my My cheesesteak sandwich arrived overflowing with a side of mayo and more delicious than before, as well as my dessert. Thanks to Zack at the front counter for taking care of us and thanks to the peeps in the kitchen for stepping up their game! read more

Just moved to Tempe last May and this is OUR go to spot.  Seriously these are the greatest burgers we have had since becoming vegetarian over a decade ago.  So much YUM that it isn't even fair.  Ask for a side of their Wac sauce and get an order of Thyme Fries. Then remember to thank me later. Loved pairing our burger and fries with a local Papago Orange Blossom beer... so flipping good. Our daughter is a big fan of their Mango Peach Angry Orchard Cider. They also make their own version of a margarita that my wife really enjoys. Pretty much we haven't had a bad drink in this place. We are also big fans of their Brussel sprouts, samosas, and their award winning vegan buffalo wings.  THAT SAUCE NOW!!! When I don't get a burger, and I want something super tasty and healthy, I order their Dagobah Jungle.  Such an interesting combination of flavors.  I feel stronger with every bite. This dish is made with these amazing Jerk spiced fried brussels sprouts served over fresh greens and tossed in their Jamaican jungle dressing.  The Force is strong with this dish... You may be full already, but I am certainly not done yet because we haven't even gotten to the very best part of this place... tSoynamis... best vegan desserts EVAH!!! Don't know nothing bout dem tSoynamis??? I stole this 'splanation right off their menus What's the deal with tSoynamis? A tSoynami is an ice cream treat that gives you super powers!* It starts with our organic unrefined cane sugar, organic soy and coconut milk tSoft tServe ice cream, your choice of vanilla, chocolate, or swirl.

I'm a regular at the 602 location but usually only make it to the 480 Green if there's a reason I'm nearby, if we want tacos, or if they have a killer special. Today was #2 + #3. Overall review - the restaurant is great. It's a bit of a calmer environment than the Phoenix location because the parking is better and the line to order is usually shorter. They also have tacos on the menu (Phx Green doesn't). And, this location tends to offer more elaborate/experimental specials on the regular. I think it has more kitchen space for accommodating different ingredients? Today's special - the Banh Mi Burrito - was worth going out of our way for. It was a tortilla stuffed with crispy fried seitan, greens, pickled veggies, crispy won tons and a weird but delicious mixture of sesame seeds, chili oil, chilies and maybe more wan tons? Whatever it was, it was magic. I still desperately miss the wraps Green's owner used to create at the long-closed "That's a Wrap," so this wrap-ritto brought back good memories. For double the "specials" fun, this weeks "chameleon" taco (their weekly taco special) was a "Jill in the Box" - basically a classic ground "meat" taco with a melty cheese slice and traditional salsa. It hit the spot! Although the restaurant was slammed for a Saturday lunchtime, we were served promptly and with care. read more

I am so glad we found Green New American while visiting Phoenix. It's always such a treat to find a place with a wide choice of creative, flavorful and satisfying vegan menu items.

The service at Green American was helpful and friendly, they offer craft beer and some creative mixed drinks, and the place has a cool, comfortable vibe. Plus, they're right next door to a vegan coffee shop/bakery shop where we got soft-serve after our meal. I wish we had a Green New American near home. read more
