We were so excited when this Veggie Grill opened more than a decade ago (2012?), in part because I’m a lifelong vegetarian.
At first the food was generally excellent and we enjoyed eating here frequently. Over time, sadly, this began to change. One of the low points occurred in May 2016 when a dead fly dropped out of my “Grilled Quinoa + Veg Burger” (see image #3) as I was biting into it.
We periodically returned, hoping that things would change for the better. Though there have been ups along with the downs, the general trend unfortunately has been in a definite downward direction.
When we gave the restaurant another try yesterday, the avocado pieces on our tasteless kale salad were highly oxidized (dark spots prominently visible, as illustrated in the attached image). The tacos were soggy and the lettuce inside was wilted. The fries were dried out from being overcooked.
Sorry to report that this was one of the most pathetic meals we’ve experienced at this restaurant—or any other, for that matter. Oh, well: at least there were no dead flies in our food. This is probably the last time we’ll ever eat here.
On a positive note, the guy at the cash register who took our order and brought the “food” to our table was very pleasant. We tipped him well. The star is for him.

Blackened/oxidized avocado pieces. Was the food preparer really expecting that we’d be thinking, “Oh, yummy!”

I had been looking forward to trying Veggie Grill for over a month since I knew I’d be visiting San Jose, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment.
I ordered the taco salad and the 3-bean chili, and both were honestly terrible. The tangy pepper sauce tasted off, almost spoiled, with a weird “wang” to it. The walnut meat was extremely dry and completely flavorless. The taco bowl shell also seemed undercooked, which made the whole dish even worse.
The 3-bean chili was just as bad. No depth of flavor, and overall very unpleasant to eat. I would give the food a 0.5 out of 10 for taste.
I ended up throwing both of those items away with only a few bites out of each.
The only decent item was the salted chocolate chip cookie.
For how much hype this place gets, the food was a major letdown. I won’t be returning.

So disappointed that this place went down hill so fast. We waited 30 minutes for our order when no one was in front of us and the shop was fairly quiet. The buffalo sauce changed and is sooooo vinegary now. The small fry was the same size as large! So don’t waste your money. My daughters meal was $11 and it was extremely small! The atmosphere was horrendous. No music playing, no fan, just the sound of the freaking drink machine. The smoothie was an absolute scam. $17 for a java smoothie with a tiny bit of whip cream? Some of the flavor was good but it wasn’t worth it in the end.
They need to hire staff. Those workers needed help.

All vegan restaurant chain with delicious plant based alternatives to traditional fast food. They keep up to date with the innovation in the vegan world – for example the new sunny side alternative. I also like their catering offerings for small parties. Don’t forget to sign up to the reward program!

All vegetarian/vegan food! The food was very good also. I had the teriyaki chickn bowl, and my sibling had the burger. The service was unfortunately super slow, and for some reason my sibling rates the atmosphere a 2. I thought it wasn’t so bad, as it’s in a nice and lively part of Santana Row, where people are walking around and generally having a good time.

The Buddha bowl is great! First time having it after they switched owners. Everything except the buffalo sauce is good.

Veggie Grill is definitely a little expensive (we didn’t see the student discount until after we paid LOL), but the food is fresh and of good quality. The steak asada burrito was super flavorful, with impressively realistic steak. The Caesar wrap was a little salty though, with a smoky and briny dressing, and didn’t have that much chicken. Carrot cake was good however!
I’d definitely recommend this place as a dine-in option – seating/ambience is very open and upscale-feeling.

My friends and I went to Veggie Grill tonight. There were seven of us, and we didn’t realize that drinks were not included with the meals. The manager, Alex Zelaya, came over and told us he needed to charge us for two drinks. We explained that one cup was empty and unused, and the other two cups only had water, which we didn’t want or need. We even told him he could dump them out, but he insisted on charging us anyway.
He was very rude and showed poor customer service. He also said we needed to be charged for sauce as well. We were very upset and told him we would be leaving a review about how he handled the situation. He didn’t seem to care at all.
Thankfully, Herberth otero completely saved our night. He was very welcoming, had a great smile, and provided excellent customer service. Because of him, our night was saved and we were still able to enjoy our dinner. Kudos to Herberth!
I highly recommend not going to Veggie Grill if Alex zelaya works there. However, I would gladly change my one-star review to five stars if the company let Alex go.He doesn’t deserve to be a manager

Veggie Grill – Next Level is my favorite spot at Santana Row!
The staff is always friendly and patient, making every visit feel welcoming. The food is absolutely amazing — I love the nachos and the classic burger. The new fried cheese bites are wow — a must-try! I’ve also had the protein plates and really enjoyed them. And don’t skip dessert — the ice cream is creamy and delicious.
Highly recommend!
