My new favorite restaurant for healthy and delicious food!

At first I couldn't understand why there aren't more reviews for Veggie Grill, but then I realized that everyone's probably too busy eating there to be reviewing it here.

This place is absolutely divine. I first discovered their location in Irvine, back when I was 100% vegetarian and fell in love with it. The food is so delicious and such perfect substitutes for the meat that I missed dearly.

Even though my veggie diet is a little less strict these days, I still LOVE this place and would choose their vegan sandwiches over most burgers any day.

However, my absolute all time favorite dish, which I highly recommend is the All Hail Kale Salad with blackened Tempeh. It''s healthy and yummy with a fantastic papaya and ginger dressing.

I've heard the fries are fantastic, but then again my friends have raved about just about everything on the menu.

There's free parking (90 minutes) with validation and when I was in this week I noticed they even offer a curbside pickup, which is great since I'm getting it to go most times.

I cannot tell you enough how much I love this place, except that it's breaking the bank because we've been eating there so many times a week. Well worth every penny since I know how healthy and great the food is.

Stop reading and go now!

• Pros: Amazing food, delicious flavors, clean, friendly staff
• Cons: Not a thing!

Holy mackrel, this place is GREAT

I've eaten here a few times now and so far, haven't had anything that I'm not mad about... even if you're not a fan of vegetarian food, try this place, because the food is nothing like you've had before. The grilled "chicken" sandwich looks, feels and tastes like real chicken... and the Bali Bliss sandwich (add guacamole!) is phenomenal.

I think these guys are successful for two reasons: first, the staff is unfailingly helpful and friendly; they're great about bringing your food, cleaning the table and checking to be sure everything is okay. Second, the flavors are all awesome-- clearly they spent a lot of time developing their recipes and getting the flavors and ingredients just right.

Best things on the menu: the sweet-potato fries (omfg), the Bali Bliss sandwich, the Grilled Chicken sandwich, and the chocolate pudding.

• Pros: delicious food, they really nailed the flavors
• Cons: none that I know of?
