Veggie Grill

This Friday was a great day to be vegan at work!! (well where I work) hehe

I'm not sure how this was arranged but, Veggie Grill (read review here) came and gave us free lunch. We were able to meet one of the founders and give him our feedback on what we liked and disliked about his restaurant.

Honestly, I've never had a better free meal at work and it truly made my Friday awesome

Ps- sorry no pictures. But I can't go giving away where I work, you understand si?

Veggie Grill restaurant

A new veg place opened recently in Irvine and I've been itching to try it for some months now. Veggie Grill is right next to UCI and has a young, contemporary atmosphere. The prices were reasonable for the portion size but still a little high for what I'm used to (about $10 per person).



The menu list is short but it entirely vegan. Veggie Grill, basically, is a burger joint for those who refrain from consuming meat. There are comfort foods like chicken burgers and sweet potato fries.





Richard chose the soup of the day (tortilla soup). The soup had some spice to it but just enough to warm the palate, perfect for the cool winter weather.


Richard also feasted on a portobello sausage burger with coleslaw. They used what they call "wheat meat" as the sausage and a whole roasted portobello mushroom. The meal got 2 thumbs up from Richard.


The serving size was enormous.


I was thrilled to try their sweet potato fries and a chicken sandwich. The fries were amazing and came with a ranch chipotle dipping sauce. Without the sauce the fries were good but with it, WOW. I'll definitely be taking my friend Cara here. She'll love the mock chicken.

Next on my list of items to sample there are the buffalo chicken wings.
