Debbie F.

It's been a while since eating here. I was nearby so decided to pick up a quick bite. I ordered the same as I have in the past, but it's not nearly as good. Giving it a 4* because service was wonderful, especially for takeout. They asked about everything when ordering, so it was made perfectly. When food was ready (which was fast), I was asked if I needed napkins and utensils. Both were in my bag in 2 seconds. Unfortunately, they have changed the items I ordered. The cauliflower bites use to be big pieces of cauliflower, but now it tiny pieces of cauliflower with mostly breading. Also the salad was not nearly what I remembered. Pretty plain, lots of capers, and a much smaller portion. This new version of the food items would be no more than 3*. Not the experience I expected to have. Won't be running back anytime soon.

The All-American Stack with a side of chili. Two thumbs up!

I love veggie grill so much. I've been coming here for 10+ years. I haven't had a plant-based diet in a long time but I still come here regularly! The food is just so good. It's the same price as any other food place now so there's no reason not to eat it! Ha. The dishes are always complex with lots of flavors and a good variety of ingredients. Satisfying and delicious. Their bowls are my favorite, but their salads are just incredible. Yes, incredible. I usually grab VG on the way home from work and my orders are always ready on time. This place means so much to me and I'd be truly lost if it ever closed! Please don't! They also have a pretty nice rewards program! All my love to VG.

Wow, I'm so happy Veggie Grill is still around! My usual spot in Tustin (rumored to return summer 2025) at the Marketplace is currently under construction during renovation as it's been on hold for a bit. Luckily, this one just a short drive out of Orange County, about 10-15 minutes from Seal Beach. Veggie Grill was recently bought by Next Level, and they've upgraded most everything to organic ingredients, which is a big deal for me! Quality ingredients totally make or break a meal in my book. My go-to orders are the wings as an appetizer, plus the burrito and tacos. I'll throw in a burger every now and then too with fries. The place is super clean, cozy, and the staff is always friendly and ready to help make sure you enjoy your meal. Tip: It's next door to the Trader Joe's! 10/10 overall!

Amazed that the fake chicken sandwich looks and tastes like the original. Love how cleanly presented it is. It was still warm after an Uber eats delivery! Would def try again.

golden fries ($5.95 for a large) + chik'n bacon ranch ($12.45)

I honestly don't know why I don't go to Veggie Grill more often. On a recent visit, I ordered the chik'n bacon ranch sandwich ($12.45). It's a crispy chik'n filet, organic tempeh bacon, smoked Gouda cheese, organic lettuce, organic tomato and creamy ranch on a toasted pretzel bun. Delish. I momentarily forgot that the patty wasn't real chicken. Like chicken who? The melty Gouda cheese, organic lettuce, and tomato keeps the sandwich tasting real fresh. If you're more of a burger kind of person, it's safe to report that their burgers are equally delicious as well. I had bites of the Maverick burger ($15.45). Order this if you love the Bacon Western Cheeseburger. Here, they use house-seasoned 1/4 beyond patty, crispy onion rings, organic tempeh bacon, organic dill pickles, your choice of cheese, hickory BBQ sauce + house-made special sauce. Whew. Perfection. Eat at Veggie Grill if you want to take a little brekkie from meat.

Nashville Hot Sliders, fries, and All Hail Kale salad

STEPH UPDATE: Still good after all these years and change in ownership. I've been coming to Veggie Grill for years and it's still good! They were recently bought out and I was afraid of what would happen to them, but so far the changes have been mostly for the better, I'd say. There are new items on the menu that I enjoy, and the prices are competitive with other fast-casual joints. On my most recent visit I tried two new items and loved them: Sesame tofu kale salad - fantastic! Flavorful and fresh Lentil soup (pureed lentils with chili-like flavor and texture, yum This is our go-to spot for a quick and healthy meal before going to the movies down the street. Our only gripe is with their new app, which doesn't seem to work as well as their old one. A birthday reward I was trying to claim wouldn't go through, so the cashier had to do it manually, and now to get credit for what you spend you have to input it from your receipt, instead of it happening automatically, as it did before. I hope they get that together, but it certainly won't keep us away from visiting them!

As a vegan, I can usually tell the quality of food, and Veggie Grill generally offers great vegan options. I've been to a few of their locations and enjoyed them, but the Long Beach location was disappointing. I tried their Baja taco with tofu, and the tofu did not taste good. The cauliflower taco, however, was good. I'm giving it three stars because while there are solid vegan options, the overall quality at this location didn't meet my expectations. Others may have had a different experience, but this was my honest experience.

Kimchi "Steak" Bowl
Maggie C.

I've been to this location a couple times and it's been good each time. I've ordered the kimchi steak bowl both times and got it completely drowned in sauce once and had just enough sauce the second time. Slight consistency issues there. Other than that, no other problems. I shared some large fries for the table and they were fresh out of the fryer with a perfect crisp.

I am not one to care much for Vegan or Vegetarian food but I am a fan of Veggie Grill. And this location is pretty dope. I come here for lunch during work sometimes. They offer a wide variety of different foods including sandwiches, wraps, salads, burritos, tacos, and more. I like their nanchos and really good carrot cake. Everything is always done with lots of flavor and just right. I can't even tell its vegan food. Items are fresh and of good quality. I like that this location is pretty large and is easy to get to. It is located right next to Trader Joes. The inside has plenty of tables and chairs. There is even outdoor seating too. The staff is really nice and will bring the food out to you. They sometimes even offer to clean up for me.

Crispy Chik'n and fries

Service at this location is always good! Bathrooms are kept in decent shape. Food tastes high quality and well worth the price they're at. Drinks are delicious. Staff is always friendly! Definitely recommend (also recommend taking your food to go and enjoying it on the beach)!

Epic vegan onion rings
Dawn S.

Veggie Grill is my favorite vegan restaurant chain, and even non-vegans love it. They have healthy protein bowls and hearty salads, and also comfort food classics like burgers, chicken sandwiches, and onions rings. It's fast casual and you can get in-and-out quickly but I like to linger for second round and their seasonal desserts.

Buffalo Chick'n Salad
Miriah S.

I had the best Valentine's Day meal here with my little Valentine! My son and I enjoyed the music, the space, and especially the food! Even though the parking lot and the surrounding streets were packed for rush hour and the special evening, the dining room at Veggie Grill was tranquil with many open booths. Just how I like it! We received excellent service and received our food quickly. The food was so good! I ordered the buffalo chicken salad and my little one had chicken strips and fries with lemonade and a cookie. Such a great value. I was also pleasantly surprised that my rewards that I had accrued from previous visits long ago were still on the app. Will be back soon!

Cali Tempeh Power Bowl
Danielle B.

I love that Long Beach has an array of different food places for every type of eater. After a walk on the beach me and my friend wanted to eat somewhere healthy and my friend recommended the Veggie Grill. My friend ordered Bbq plant based burger( summer time special) with sweet potato fries and I ordered the Cali Tempeh Bowl. She also raved about fried cauliflower and ordered those also! My Cali Tempeh Bowl was very filling and flavorful but the tempeh wasn't my favorite. I'd never had tempeh before and it was probably just a personal preference. But the fried cauliflower was one of the best dishes I've ever had! Crispy, flavorful and the sauces with it were chefs

We didn't come that late, but I could tell by our fellow diners and the employees themselves that everyone was looking forward to going somewhere else for the actual festivities. I was expecting my parents to like this place. That was the goal. I expected to dislike it, or at least to tell myself I disliked it. But it grew on me in a strange way, like bathroom tile of a certain unusual shade of green. I don't remember what we ordered on that night, but I really enjoyed my dinner. My parents enjoyed theirs as well. I've since been with them on three or four occasions to the Brea location, so I'm much more familiar with the menu now. Although Brea has both more total seating and more varied seating locations, I prefer Long Beach's dining room. It's the perfect combination of chic and comfortable, and the big glass windows really make it feel special, like you're looking out onto the world. The service was excellent. You order at the front, and they bring your food out. They were doing a good job of cleaning tables immediately, but again, I have a feeling they were just trying to get everything done ASAP so that they could go get drunk for New Year's.

Although they were busy, the staff graciously rearranged tables to accommodate our group of 11, including three little ones. Elizabeth was our server, and she was incredible. She and the rest of the staff anticipated our needs--especially with the kids--and our food and drinks arrived quickly despite the bustling atmosphere. We shared a wonderful bottle of Prosecco (served in chilled glasses!), and several of us enjoyed beautiful (and delicious!) coffee drinks. The menu was filled with so many tempting options that it was hard to choose. We all ordered something different, and every dish was outstanding. I'm still dreaming about the delicious chicken grain bowl I ordered and can't wait to try recreating it at home! Ubuntu truly lives up to its reputation as the "greatest neighborhood café." The warm, welcoming, and very kid-friendly atmosphere made us feel right at home. Our little ones especially loved exploring the peaceful water feature out front and searching for the little plastic duckies throughout it. The café is also perfectly situated overlooking Will Rogers Mini Park and Colorado Lagoon, making for a beautiful setting. Ubuntu gets an A+ for food, service, and ambiance. We can't wait to return the next time we're in Long Beach!

Their best seller, the beef empanada, was very flavorful and juicy. As for the chicken empanada, one of the most popular options, it was rich and creamy. Although the fillings were great, I thought the crust was too dry. I would skip these next time. The breakfast burrito was pretty good and comforting to eat. It was packed with scrambled eggs, onions, sausage, fries, mozzarella cheese, creamy cilantro sauce, and chipotle mayo. The ratio was just right. I enjoyed the combination of all the ingredients. In addition to savory goods, they offer plenty of sweets, pastries, and beverages. Make sure to look out for deals that they may have going on.

The QR code was for a Free Entree w/ purchase once the restaurant opens. Not one to pass up free food, I made sure to use my phone to scan & sign up. Once open, I was ready to check out Mendocino Farms for the first time. The menu at Mendocino Farms consists primarily of sandwiches, salads & soup. After a quick perusal, I thought the Peruvian Steak sandwich best whet my appetite. Peruvian Steak sandwich- Spicy aji amarillo marinated steak with Oaxacan cheese, herb aioli, red onions, tomatoes, shredded romaine on a toasted potato roll. I quite liked this. Tender steak, with fatty cheese. The vegetables provided contrast & texture. For my purchase, I went with a side of Southern Potato Salad. It was good, but similar to grocery deli potato salad. In hindsight, I should've purchased avocado added to my Peruvian Steak sandwich. Service was excellent. All hands were on deck, as Mendocino Farms opened only a few days prior. Each employee had a name badge, specifying their name & which entree was their favorite, helping indecisive customers choose what to get. Plenty of seating indoors & al fresco. Parking is at LBX, with Mendocino Farms being across Georgia's and facing the Hangar at LBX. I found the Peruvian Steak sandwich delicious, yet meager in quantity, considering the regular price. It's more of a substantial snack, than a full meal, in my case. However, it's great to have another quality food option in the area, and I look forward to coming back & exploring the rest of menu.
