It seems fitting Next Level Veggie Grill is on the DU campus. And it opens late till 10pm! Has its own parking lot which helps a lot around campus. Came in at around 8:30pm on a Sunday night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The main dining hall wasn't too full - they must have gotten a lot of call-in orders continuously as the kitchen sounded busy and bustling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff kept apologizing for the wait but it wasn't too bad: ~20 min. First item to come out was the Oange Cream Soy Milk Shake which was surprisingly tasty, and very cold so we could only take a small spoonful at at time. I secretly renamed it to the Orange Creamsicle Soy Milkshake. Even though it was a small shake, it's very thick and substantial. We saved half of it and later used it as a dip for the fries. But actually the ketchup they brought out was also excellent. Unlike next door's (Birdcall's ketchup is too healthy to be tasty!) I had to try the Beyond Beef plate. It was impressive, the "steak" even had a bit of "fond" and "jus". It tasted awesome with a green sauce that's my favorite kind of garlicky. Hubby opted for the Steak Asada burrito. He inhaled it so quickly I didn't have a chance to try! I bet if I didn't tell him this is a vegan place, he would not have noticed the meat was plant based! Don't make the same mistake as me: eat here early as the food is hearty and bound to fill you up!

My American Classic Cheese Burger with a side of French Fries arrived warm. The lettuce and tomato slices were refreshingly cool and crisp in delightful contrast to the bun, burger and cheese. The fries were hot and perfectly crisp. Our server was exceptionally knowledgeable regarding the offerings on the menu. She suggested alternatives and options that were alternatives. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The 60's and 70's music fit well with the roots of a growing environmentally conscious society of that time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was colorful, yet simple in design.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My visit yesterday went very well because the service the food and the atmosphere all hit just right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had had a chance to look over the menu before coming in, but the gentleman behind the counter was more than happy to give me some good suggestions. I ended up choosing the protein bowl with tofu. The look and taste of this was well above my expectations. The vegetables were cut and presented beautifully; the flavors were super flavorful. I almost could've drank the sauce that was on this, but I ended up asking for a side of ghost pepper ranch, which almost made me weep. I also had the peanut butter cup shake with soy. I would recommend anybody that likes peanut butter cups to come try this! The gentleman behind the counter recommended this and said that this was his favorite and I can totally understand why, now. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is bright and the restaurant was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in there are two order kiosks; there is also seating outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Solid vegan restaurant in the University neighborhood. We tried a few meals on a recent day. We had a taco salad which came in a massive tortilla bowl and one of their bowls. The tortilla for the taco salad was super greasy but otherwise tasty and crispy. Mainly lettuce in the salad with vegan cheese which had an off-putting texture. We ordered fries which were superb We also order a bowl which had "walnut meat" as the cashier described the filling. It was OK overall but the sweet potatoes had different pieces that were cooked to different stages. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The facility was clean overall and the staff was friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I appreciate that there are vegan dedicated restaurants in Denver but I was not overly impressed with the food preparation.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty hip minimalist chain vive restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The best veggie grill restaurant I have tried. I tried the Bhutan bowl and everything was so flavorful! Also got strawberry half and half shake and it was super delicious. Strongly recommend this spot for vegetarians!

Its great to have a huge verity of vegetarian options that are quick without feeling too much like fast food. I ended up getting the salmon with mango salsa, onion rings and corn with a peanutbutter milkshake. My wife ended up getting the Steak with chimichuri sauce, potatoes, and pickled salad with a oreo milkshake. The supprising winners were the corn, pickeled salad, and peanutbutter milkshake. The corn had great grilled flavor and texture. The pickeled salad was really refreshing with the right amount of vinaigrette. And the peanutbutter milkshake was loaded with peanuts and I really liked the consistant texture of that which goes well with the creamy shake. While the mains were good and nice representations of the meats they mimicked, I was expecting those to be the highlight so when the other ones were a bit better I was surprised. Another really nice addition is that the materials they use are all compostable. I hate having to consistently tell people that we dont need straws at other places so it is really nice not having to think about it. (The shakes would have been worse without some sort of straw so it is great they do compostable). The service was great as well. We were getting a lot and they were very understanding and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this place for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First time dining here and was impressed by the fully vegan options, kind (genuine) service and space![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Walked in and was greeted and advised all options fully vegan. Took it Togo! Tried: * steakhouse burger - 4/5 * ghost pepper popper burger - 4/5 * crispy chicken plate - Cole slaw and carrots - felt these needed more flavor but yummy overall 3/5 * strawberry shake - 5/5 So delicious would come again! Didn't feel intimidated by the "vegan-ness" if that makes sense? Everything was yummy! And shout out to the great service as well.

The shakes are next level, people! I had the orangecicle last time and wanted to try strawberry and the cashier suggest a secret menu item that combined strawberry and orange OMG sooo good and because I am lactose sensitive this will not hurt me, wahoo! Service was awesome and [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance was great with the garage doors open in a gorgeous day![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Im very impressed! This is my first time dining at a vegan restaurant and the salmon genuinely confused me for a moment! The chimmichurri sauce was AMAZING...can I take a bucket of that home please? The fries DARE I SAY were some of the best I've had in Denver and the seasoning on them and the ranch were to die for. The cucumber salad was refreshing and had the perfect amount of acidity. The service was great. While this is a order at the counter then sit down spot, we still had our food, cutlery and drinks brought out to us and the person working the register was ON IT with recommendations and was incredibly nice. Last but mostly definitely not least...do yourself a favor and grab a shake. 10/10 would get a shake here again, it was creamy and rich and up there with some of my favorite whole milk shakes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really a great spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

We walked in and greeted with a smile from the cashier/server. She was more than happy to help us with suggestions from the menu. I chose the Cali Tempeh Power bowl while my partner had the American Chzburger with a side order of fries. We both drank the mint chocolate chip shakes (half soy milk and half coconut milk) which were smooth and refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was small but had plenty of seating both inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was cheerful and youthful (in the University of Denver neighborhood).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We parked in the limited parking lot besides their building but there's also street parking. The meal was a pleasant experience.

I am a girl that likes to sit at a table, read a menu and place my order. When I went to Next Level Veggie Grill, I found out that I can be flexible. Sit at the table check out the menu, then walk up to the counter and place my order. It's next level vegetarian food that will make you return for more time and time again! This is a restaurant that serves organic food, cares about the environment with the packaging they use and has a clean, healthy menu and kind staff. Order at the counter they give you a number and will bring the food to your table. I had a snack/appetizer veggie spring rolls with peanut sauce. It was a big portion that was fresh and deliciousness! My table mates were overjoyed with their meals too. One had a burger that he said was, "the best vegetarian burger of his life!"Now that's a compliment! Fries and roasted carrots are both amazing! Indoor and outdoor seating, free parking and colorful, bright interior and some art work on the exterior of the of the building so you won't miss the location!

This is such a great find for those who are vegan or wanting to just eat healthy! The establishment is very clean, modern and spacious with very helpful staff. They offer a wide variety of meals from salads, bowls and burgers. Ingredients are fresh, and portions are big. It shows that even something this healthy without animal based protein can keep you satisfied. The burgers here hit the spot! You'll be surprised it's not beef based! I had the American chz burger with fries. It has a smashed patty with Tempe based bacon and you have an option on what burger sauces to choose from. The fries are very typical of many places, but it was crispy and perfectly salted. The burger was delicious and filled me up. It has a strong beef flavor while the tempe provided a chewy texture. The Buddha brunch bowl was hefty and had notes of sweetness from the pumpkin, umami from the mushroom and seeds, and saltiness from the combination of flavors. It was the perfect meal to end our workout. The tempeh is hearty and texture was firm. This bowl was definitely not lacking in the flavor department. We will definitely be back!

AMAZING wow. I cant believe how incredible my chickn sandwich and fries were - 10/10 for sure. The peanut butter shake was so great too!! The staff was so kind and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space was super clean and I enjoyed eating outside with my dog.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu looks pretty spectacular and I'd love to return to try more food items!
