    Close up to appreciate the fresh herbs, jalapeños and the amazing texture of the sesame chick'n.

    The cashier/server was so nice and friendly. The food was extremely fresh and tasty. It was a nice day so we decided to sit outside on the patio. This is such a wonderful bowl full of flavor and all plant based. It's the Far East Thai Bowl with sesame vegan chick'n.

    First off, I'm not a vegetarian, but this place.... OMG! I got the 'carne asada' taco and it was amazing!!! The service was incredible nice and helpful. The atmosphere was almost a bit too quiet, but I do like that! I am not in the area too often, but next time I am in Carlsbad, I definitely want to come back! Thanks for a great tasting taco!!

    I'm about as far from a vegetarian as one can get, but the Cali Tempeh Power Bowl here is so tasty I don't miss meat at all! Not really a fan of patties and such that "pretend" to be meat, so I do prefer Veggie Grill's bowls and salads over their burgers and sandwiches. For some reason, the app often glitches for me when I try to order through it, but staff at this location has always been helpful in resolving any issues - great customer service! This is one of my go-tos for Meatless Mondays and other guilt-free, fast casual dining occasions. Pro tip: sign up for the rewards program for great freebies!

    Very healthy menu! The smoothie was protein filled and delicious. It's counter order but the server brought it to the table . It was a big place with many places to sit. Larger for groups. Or small parties . The food items looked good also .

    Love a bowl? Need some fresh veggies in your life? Need a fulfilling nutritious meal? Go to Veggie Grill! I had the CA Tempeh Power Bowl and it was spot on, my kind of meal. I loved the sesame gochu sauce and all the textures of ancient grains, almonds, tempeh, shredded carrots. I seriously loved this meal, and I'd say it's another great bowl! Their Buffalo chik'n tenders are also yummy with celery. Don't underestimate celery and ranch, by the way.

    I tried the eggplant Parmesan burger and it was great. My husband did find it to be a little oily so if you're on the side of finding weird after taste of oil when you eat fried foods, maybe avoid this.

    Veggie grill had great seasonal items and promotions on their app. I tried their October special which was the mean green franken burger. It had great flavor and sauce, and their pumpkin spice cake was moist and delicious! The cooks are always on point with fast food preparation and presentation even for takeout. The times I have been inside, there have been only been a few people working so the dining room was not cleaned of dirty plates timely. I usually order my food to go but I will always come back to veggie grill when I'm in the area.

    Buddha Brunch Bowl (that i had for dinner). sorry, it looks really unappealing but I forgot to take a picture before

    so so good! If you're vegan or vegetarian and in Carlsbad, you've gotta try this place! i got the Buddha Brunch bowl and it was so delicious and balanced-- lots of veggies. I almost didn't order it because I thought it wasn't vegan based off the egg in the picture on the website. but this was a "Yo! egg" so no chickens involved. Most of the yoke did get on the container lid, but it's ok (the egg was my least favorite part anyway)! very happy that they use compostable packaging, and also happy that this bowl was deep! will have leftovers, yay!

    My first time trying veggie grill. There's a lot of extra effort that that goes into making vegan food to try to get it to look and taste like non-vegan food. For example the vegan sunny side up egg on the sunriseh mochi Burger was very impressive with runny yolk that tasted close to the real thing. Food was served hot and freshly prepared by an attentive employee. Seating is also available outdoors at this location. Worth a try even if you're not vegan!

    Buffalo Bomber.  Like a buffalo chicken sandwich.  It's very nice and not that spicy.
    Craig W.

    It was my first time here and I was wildly impressed. I'm not a vegan but I have a ton of respect for vegans. It's better for the planet and it's better for overall personal health. And I have a lot of respect when vegan food tastes great. You have to try harder to make vegan food taste great to non-vegans. The decor is very attractive inside and they have real plates, real silverware, and hard plastic glasses. So, it's a step up from most fast casual joints. The Buffalo Bomber is a very nice (fake) buffalo chicken sandwich. It comes with lettuce, tomato, ranch, and pickles that give the sandwich a nice snap. It's got a little bit of heat but nothing crazy. It's not an amazing sandwich but it's about as good as any similar buffalo chicken sandwich I've ever had which was made with real chicken. The chicken substitute here looks and tastes like real chicken. I'm not a big salad guy but the Caesar Crunch Salad was fantastic. It's made with kale and ciabatta croutons. The salad is wonderfully fresh and is obviously made with high quality ingredients. It's absolutely delicious. I would choose this sandwich for a meal any time and I never get salads as my main meal. Counter service was very friendly and helpful. Plenty of free parking in the lot but there is always parking available nearby because of the Costco parking lot. There is great food here, whether you are vegan or not.

    Really tasty food. Went with my boyfriend and enjoyed it. I really like the concept of it being a new vegetarian. Would recommend.

    Good place to grab a quick meal with non-to-high expectations. Good value. Quick service. No hugely adventurous on the flavor front perhaps.

    Best thing is the bombay bowl (if you like curry), everything else isn't too amazing, but then again it is vegan. Family friendly!

    Ask the Community - Veggie Grill by Next Level

    Hi, do you use any tree nuts in any of your dishes? Is it safe for someone who's allergic to tree nuts to enjoy dishes without nuts at your restaurant?

    Most of their dishes didn't seem to have nuts, but I know there was cookie that has nuts. So depending of your allergy level....they do process some nut items... so if you're looking for a nut free place this isn't quite it.

    Do you use any dairy products in your facility ?Thanks!

    It's completely vegan. So no.
