Veggie Grill is located on the upper floor of Ackerman in the heart of UCLA's campus. Parking is a nightmare. Just find a lot and start walking. Being in the heart of UCLA makes it an even longer walk, but it is worth it. I don't usually eat vegan food, but we were in a group and many wanted it. I was shocked at how great it all was. The service there is super nice and they keep the place so clean and it is so cute. You will love it. They have great salads and some tasty desserts. Their fries are crisp and great. My favorite thing there was the impossible burger. It was amazing. The bun was great and even the cheese was good. I also enjoy their vegan burritos. They are packed with flavor. The prices are fair, maybe a tad high, but it is UCLA. You will love this place read more

I'm a hardcore carnivore, so that's probably why I wasn't blown away with the Beyond burger. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. So that's why I put this review. The staff here is nice and patient. The area was clean, so I was able to get a nice table for lunch with my two girlfriends. They enjoyed their Buddha bowl or whatever it was called. The sweet potato fries were on point! read more

Incredible Vegan Burgers and Creamy Treats! We had a great experience at the Veggie Grill. The Beyond burgers were delicious and cooked to perfection--seriously satisfying, even for non-vegans. The fries were crispy and served hot. A highlight was the Banana Berry smoothies! It was incredibly rich, delicious, and creamy--hard to believe it's dairy-free. Perfect location for a quick, high-quality, plant-based meal on campus. Highly recommend! read more

What in the damn hell HAPPENED here?! I noticed their fries changes a few months back, and when I looked it up they said they'd started making it healthier so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But I LITERALLY order veggie gril when I'm craving cookies and what they did to these cookies is abhorrable. They shrunk them and made them nasty as hell. Today I realized I have no reason to ever go back. I used to eat at veggie grill 3 times a month. Plus, the guy working was kind of rude. I can't stress enough how much I used to enjoy this restaurant. Today is my last time and that is just so sad. God ... The cookies... I'm devastated. 1/3 the size and so nasty.... Idk what "next level" is but I'll never forgive them for this. read more

Very expensive food ,now they want to charge for extra sause next?time ill eat at Home !

Came here this past week when I was at UCLA and looking for something vegan to eat! The restaurant is conveniently located in the food court of Ackerman and very easy to locate! I placed the order ahead using the Veggie Grill app and was thankful that I had a reward waiting for me! It was very easy to place the order and it was ready quickly. When I got there, the employee was friendly and got my order for me. She ensured I had the utensils and napkins needed for it! I ordered the Avocado Bacon Cobb salad with a light vinaigrette on it. I wanted something hearty and filling yet wouldn't weigh me down too much as I still had to make it through the day! The salad was just what I needed and I really loved the crunchy "bacon" that contrasted the soft and buttery avocado. The flavors and seasonings of everything was spot on. The produce was also very fresh. I got a small size but it still managed to fill me up pretty well! I got lucky and managed to snag a table at the very busy food court and it made for a very relaxing and enjoyable meal! Definitely a must if you are seeking a healthier option when at UCLA! read more

This Veggie Grill is located on the upper floor of Ackerman in the heart of UCLA's campus. If you're driving, you'd have to find parking somewhere (probably one of UCLA's visitor parking structures). Because of this, I wouldn't really recommend coming here if you're not already on campus, as it can be a hassle to find the right parking structure, pay for parking, and then have to walk 10+ minutes. Suzy and Marie provided excellent service! There was a slight wait because of the dinner rush + a basketball game, but Suzy made sure to announce that she will be right with me. She apologized for the wait and took my order, and she was very nice. Marie handed us the food and she was warm and pleasant as well. Pro-tip: they offer a student discount (15% off) if you show them a school ID (doesn't have to be UCLA). read more

I love that the entire menu is plant based. I had the Caesar wrap with tempeh. It was good. Just needed a little more dressing. :) My husband got the American chzburger and said it was solid. My girls split some chik n tenders, French fries, and a green glow up smoothie. They were all good. The service was fast. :) read more

This location seems to always go extremely light on the ingredients. I ordered a Cali Tempe Powerbowl and a double junior burger with house made sauce. They went extremely light on the house, house sauce almost no sauce at all. Both the burger and the bowl was very dry. Very light on the ingredients for the Powerbowl. It didn't look like $29 worth of a meal to me. I will try to remember that I have already ordered from here before and never again. read more

Located inside Ackerman Union at UCLA, Veggie Grill is definitely one of the better options to eat at in my opinion. The place was not packed or bustling, as students were either passing by or just studying. It's what you would expect inside a college food court. I also used their app to get $10 off the first purchase, which made me a happy camper! Had 4 other people in front of me and burger came out in under 10 mins. I got their new honey truffle chick'n sandwich and it definitely hit the spot after a long day! It was basically chick'n, white truffle vegan honey, smoky tempeh bacon, organic lettuce, ripe red jalapeno mayo on a brioche bun. My bacon was definitely a bit too burnt for my liking but I can appreciate the extra crisp! I would say this burger lived up to its name. Make sure to ask for extra honey truffle sauce for more of that truffle goodness :) Overall I would come back to try their other options! Tasty and not too indulgent is my verdict. read more

I had their chickn sandwich and it was delicious. It's hard to believe that the chicken patty is made out of plants. It's just like real chicken. I also had their Ocean Blue smoothie which was creamy and tasty. I used Uber Eats and the delivery went smoothly. Looking forward to going back. read more

Nice option if you're looking for fast, casual vegetarian or vegan food. My favorite menu item here is the Moroccan lentil soup, it is my go to. Service is friendly and fast here. I suggest pre-ordering on the app if you want to save time.nice location with plenty of seating and metered parking out front. read more

Great food and excellent service. Staff is very professional and friendly! My go to stop to eat at UCLA.

All of the menu has been changed to outrageous prices for low quality food. The restaurant was so quiet and uncomfortable, nothing like how it used to be. The service was okay, but it's not worth the low quality experience overall. read more

Sandwiches are the easiest food to make and take on the go. I didn't make it but I chose the grilled chick'n sandwich because it was primarily made with whole ingredients minus the chick'n. I'm not a vegan or vegetarian by any means but it was a pretty good sandwich. The texture of the patty slightly resembled chicken but it got lost in all the veggies. The pickled onions were my favorite part and they didn't skimp on the avocado. read more

This was the only burger place open on campus so I decided to try it out. I ordered a classic burger with fries. The order took almost 30 minutes of wait time even though there was only two orders in front of me. The classic burger had no burger taste or texture. The patty was mushy and did not taste anything like meat. I could only really taste whatever sauce they slathered inside. The fries were generic large cut fries with slight crunch. Overall, this was a disappointing meal. I paid about $14 for the fries and the burgers. The burger itself was just garbage and insanely overpriced at almost $10. Worst part is I waited 30 minutes for this. I might as well make my own veggie burger and it would still be tastier, cheaper, and time efficient than ordering here. If I could give no stars to this place, I would. read more

Good here is pricy but delicious. Love the vegan tacos and chicken as well as salads and soups. Service is polite and terrific but can take a while because of demands. There is not much atmosphere because it is a take out place but it is clean and efficient. read more

I went to grab a water before class since there was no line. They charge 4 dollars for a 12 oz water, and then asked for a tip. Idk why I decided to go back to this place. What a joke. read more

I would say the online ordering for Veggie Grill was pretty simple and easy to use their app. I added my card with ease and was able to get my burger within the estimated time frame. The burger itself was pretty good quality and I had a $10 off first time coupon. For the price, I think it could be slightly better but no complaints from me. The ambience is good with other ucla students studying or other people doing work. read more

The customer service at this location is excellent! It's really clean and the food never disappoints. Highly recommend their salads.

Pretty watery, not super flavorful. Decent if you want something bland to just fill your stomach but not worth $10.68. read more

I'm a little bit sad. Veggie Grill changed its menu drastically. Many of my favorite menu items, such as the BLT, is no longer available. Additionally, they switched from Beyond patties to Impossible, and I much more prefer Beyond. All the changes and the smaller menu size made ordering a challenge. Additionally, this location has some issues with its mobile ordering. For example, I tried to order one of their bowls, and the app would not allow me to add the meal to the cart without selecting an add-on protein for $5.95 extra. But when I went in person to order instead, I was not required to add extra protein. I still like that it is one of the few relatively healthier options in the area and does permit mobile ordering. I just miss how things used to be at this location before the pandemic. read more

Finally got to try veggie grill! I was quite hungry and decided to grab some cookies to eat while waiting for my food. They have a thick texture, and are reminiscent of souplantation cookies. The staff were not very friendly (note: not unfriendly), which I guess is to be expected for college food places. Bulgogi was extremely salty, would not get again, but would be interested in trying what else they have to offer. read more

When I went to the food level on Saturday, veggie grill was open so I gave it a try. I ordered the fries and a mini buffalo chicken wrap. Fries were good but I didn't really like the sauce on top...it had a weird sour taste to it, similar to A1 steak sauce, which I don't care for. The mini buffalo chicken wrap was like the name...considering it was named "mini", I guess I can't complain much about it...just wish it had some shredded lettuce in it. I'll have to return and order other things on the menu to decide if this place is worth it. read more

Great fast vegan comfort food. I like their tempeh buffalo "wings", their kale career salad, and their fried chicken sandwich. Mmmmm. There's a great variety and their ice teas are so good! read more

I am so surprised with the 3.5 stars rating. I was just here last Saturday for a UCLA day outing with my Bruin alum husband and very hungry toddler son. The service was awesome! The staff were patient, courteous, and attentive, especially when I had several gift cards and a discount coupon to use that day. We ordered the following: BULGOGI BEEF PROTEIN BOWL, SPRING AVOCADO TOAST, MONDO NACHOS, AND THE GRILLIN' CHIKIN' SANDWICH. All were delicious but the standouts that day were the BULGOGI BOWL and the SPRING AVOCADO TOAST! YUMMMM! I was skeptical about the the BULGOGI but I was mindblown at how good it tasted!! The texture and marinated flavor in the "beef" were spot-on and the pickled cucumber added a nice refreshing acidity to it. I definitely want to get it again before they take it out of their seasonal menu. Their SPRING AVOCADO TOAST rivaled the bougie ones that you see in most trendy, hipster places. They give you a generous amount of avocado and it looked oh-so-pretty with the delicious shaved asparagus, tomato, radish, hemp seeds,and microgreens--I wanted to take a picture of it! However, no such luck this time since my ravenous family had no patience with that especially my son who woke up from his nap in the car. Needless to say, my son ate all the avocado. We had such a great experience at this location we will definitely come back! So come here for a nice day outing at the UCLA campus and begin or finish off with the delicious food here at Veggie Grill! read more

Hah, you know what's shady? When you leave one in a long line of not-so-great reviews for a business, and then all of a sudden they get six positive reviews in three days. Oh, and four of those are the first review ever from the user. And another has two total. And the last has three total. I'm surprised Yelp didn't filter some of these out. Anyways, I went back to use the "free entree" I was given after they totally f'ed up my order last time. I ordered the spicy sicilian sausage sandwich. Tasted alright, but it was pretty small. Think very short hot dog kind of small. Got the roasted brocolli. It was soggy. As before, there were only a few people in line ordering, but it took almost 20 minutes to get the food. Definitely do not eat here if you're cramped for time. read more

Great food. Always positive service - staff very chill and helpful. This restaurant helped me crossover to vegetarianism. Clean space but the tables at night can be a little messy I guess because everyone's ready to go home. Overall, for now, my favorite Veggie Grill in LA. read more

I have to say, I was very stoked when UCLA opened a Veggie Grill. For being such a huge campus with a "healthier" culinary theme on The Hill (or on the side of campus where there are student dining halls), the actual campus near all the lecture halls did not have very many "healthy" options. But then, UCLA opened Veggie Grill, which was a big shift in the types of restaurants that students were used to seeing. Veggie Grill is in the middle of campus (Ackerman Union) so I wouldn't even think about being able to park here if you drive. If you want to Uber, I would suggest Ubering/Lyfting to the Luskin turnaround, and then go up the stairs into Ackerman Union. Also, expect lines to be LONG during lunch hours especially. Since lines are usually long, I like to use the Veggie Grill App and Rewards. You can "skip the line, and order online" which essentially means that you don't have to go to the restaurant itself to order, and it's faster than if you were to order at the restaurant in person. I like it since the app gives you an estimation of when it would be finished, so then when you go pick it up, it's right there and ready for you to pick it up! Also, the App offers rewards- if you invite a friend to download the app, you get $5, and they get $5. There's no limit on this! The app also gives you $9 if you spend $99, which honestly isn't that much... but if you think about it in terms of credit card rewards, you get 10% cash back. Might as well if you're gonna be coming here often! They also give you random free appetizers or free promos every now and then, but that's random. When I come here, I almost always get the "Mondo Nachos." This is one of the "Shares" or appetizers. For the price, you actually get quite a lot of food, which I enjoy. The ONE thing that I dislike about veggie grill is how darn expensive it is. I do enjoy, though, that everything is vegan and is "healthier" than most foods served at UCLA. Their mock meat and mock cheese tastes just as good, sometimes even better than meat. I'm not vegan myself, but sometimes it's good to eat alternatives to dairy and meat! Anyway, this place is near and dear to my heart at UCLA but I wish it was cheaper. Check out Veggie Grill! read more

I think this place is pretty good! So I was looking for a shorter line, for my lunch I had like 1 1/2 hr, so I needed a short line close to my committee (I was attending UCLA MUN's BruinMUN), and I wanted to be a bit healthier, so I decided to try this place. (I write this from a meat eater's perspective) The menu didn't really get me hungry, but whatever, the line is short, I thought. I asked what they recomendable, and I settled on the nachos. So they're like normal nachos, but they substitute a vegan cheese and a tofu like thing for the meat. I imagined all of it to taste kinda bad and not be seasoned well, but that wasn't so. The nachos were bursting with flavor, and the cheese kinda just tasted different. Not a bad different, just different. The meat was dressed as real meat, and it didn't taste half bad. I mean, it still wasn't meat, but you're not paying attention, you don't really notice. Also, the lemonade is sooo good. You can taste that it's fresh The lines are usually shorter, and the food fresher and somewhat cheaper. I say go for it, wether or not you're vegan, vegetarian, etc. read more

So stoked to have a veggie grill on UCLA, but the poor workers... their cashier registers werent working, their togo printouts didnt have names, most people waited around 30 mins for their food. I downloaded the veggie grill app & got a coupon for my meal I ordered! Plus it was only a 15 min wait! I usually get mac & cheese, buffalo "chicken" tenders, the avocado toast, and the amazing, best strawberry lemonade!!! I don't like lemonade that much & I crave veggie grill's strawberry lemonade all the time... it's that good! Anyways I know this just opened, so one star for food, and two stars for service because props to all the hard workers there who kept their cool with al the customers getting upset.. especially the guy with dyed lavender or pink (cant remember) hair- kudos to you, and the shorter woman who was giving out discount cards to random people with glasses! I work in food service so I understand the struggle too. I will try it again, but order ahead online to be safe! read more

I'm sad to write this. I really enjoy Veggie Grill; I love treating myself to their buffalo wings. Today, I ordered a salad to go with. Unfortunately, it was completely wilted and slimy. I bought it back and asked for a new salad. After picking through it, they made me a new salad. Under the top layer of leaves, it was also wilted and slimy. I do not think I will be returning to this location. read more

I was so excited to have a Veggie Grill on campus! Mind you, it was my first time... but now I'm speaking as a forth time goer. The first time was about a couple days after the grand opening, so I couldn't be too disappointed because I understood that new processes were being implemented. Long wait (pick-up order btw) and food was just okay. HOWEVER... a month later should be enough time to know your peak hours! The wait is long and my food is ALWAYS cold. And I notice, as I'm waiting, that the food is prepared and ready faster than the staff are ready to give it out. Which means it might be a good idea to have more than 1 (or 2) staff assisting with that role; especially during lunch hours. Additionally, I love how they wear gloves, but it beats the purpose if they touch delivery boxes (to refill utensils) and use their phones without changing them right after. On the plus side all staff are really friendly! Might try for a fifth time and see how is goes, but for now... 2.5 :/ read more

This is my New Review Of Veggie Grill. VG finally got a truly Nice and Efficent Crew. Lead by Cat..Yes Cat. She is wonderful and truly got the right attitude..and says..Thank You, After customers spend money. The Sante Fe Crispy Chickin, is one of the best menu items..but it needs a lil help from me...I have them take off the avocado and relish, and put on cole slaw and bread and butter pickles, with onion and tomatoes. With the Crispy Fries..can't go wrong. It is the best thing on the menu to me. Also good is the Steakhouse Burger and the VG Beyond Burger..also taste very good. Also good is the Fire Roasted Chickin Burrito. The Rustic Farm Bowl is also good..and large portion. The Pinto Bean Stew taste very good. I will be 100% Real..At this point, this VG is a cool place. All of the staff is attentive and says...Thank You. Cat the girl in charge does an excellent job including outstanding customer service. Very impressed. Keep this Crew Veggie Grill. read more

I think this Veggie Grill is great! The food is the perfect portion where you fill full but not glutinous. As far as wait times, I've never waited longer than 10 minutes.
