I am not a vegetarian but I do enjoy having variety in my diet so I like incorporating meat alternatives into my meals. I recently visited Veggie Grill and I really enjoyed my experience. Veggie Grill is part of a national chain. The restaurant has locations in California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, and Washington.

Veggie Grill has a variety of options on their menu, which is great because you can choose to have a light entrée or a filling entrée. They also have fries and vegetarian wings if you are interested in just having a snack. Veggie Grill also has family meal deals and a kids menu for children that are 10 and under. Therefore, this restaurant is family friendly.

The day I visited Veggie Grill it was my first time visiting the restaurant. When I opened their menu I was happy to see they had many options. I liked being able to choose from super hearty options like burgers or something lighter like a salad. They also have filling bowls, mac and cheese, sliders, chick’n tenders, wraps, tacos, large nachos, soup, sandwiches, and desserts.

I was very hungry so I decided to order something hearty. I ordered the Far East Bowl. With this item there are two protein options you can choose from, either tempeh or crispy sesame Chick’n. The Bowl also comes with a variety of vegetables and Thai coconut curry sauce. I decided to go with the crispy sesame Chick’n as my protein. The bowl was delicious. The variety of vegetables was very filling. The Thai coconut curry sauce was delicious, flavorful but not over powering. The crispy sesame Chick’n was crispy and delicious. The bowl is so flavorful your meat eating friends wouldn’t even realize the contents of the bowl do not contain an animal protein source. I am so happy with my experience at Veggie Grill that next time I am in San Jose, California, I plan on visiting the restaurant again.

If you want to incorporate meat alternatives into your diet this is definitely a place to visit. They have a large menu with many options. The food is so flavorful; omnivores won’t think about not eating meat. I highly recommend visiting the Veggie Grill.
