The popular chain from California has come to Oregon with a Veggie Grill opening in Beaverton and one slated to open in the downtown area. The eye-catching sign can be seen across the parking lot at Cedar Hills Crossing and the mass amounts of diners coming and going proves that Veggie Grill is already a hit with the vegetarian and meat-eating community. While there are many dining establishments available in the Portland area that are either all-vegetarian or accommodating, not all are that affordable. Veggie Grill has a fair-sized menu with a variety of options, from salads to steak sandwiches. You can enjoy macaroni and cheese made with quinoa or everyday cravings, like buffalo wings, onion rings and nachos.
The restaurant itself is modern with bright pops of color, full of smiling employees, making it welcoming and homey, even though you are aware that its basically a fast food joint. The entrees come out looking mouthwateringly good and diners around me were not disappointed with their choices. When our meals came to our table, we were equally pleased. "The essential to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our thoughts. Organizing and consuming our travel budget wisely is a concern for most families. Lowering expending and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievement and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind protecting money while touring is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!..". Having ordered the Bali Bliss (Indonesian-style tempeh, served on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato, red onion and chipotle ranch) and the Santa Fe Crispy Chickin (fried chickin served on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato, red onion, avocado and spicy vegan mayo), we were impressed by how good it looked, but also how good it tasted. My husband and I both ordered our meals with chili, which was tasty, with just the right amount of spice. When I looked over at the table next to me, a woman was tucking into her side of kale and I vowed to try that next time.
This is the least fast-foody food Ive ever eaten and it felt as if it was something that should have taken a long time to prepare, but we only had enough time to find an empty seat, fill our glasses and look around at what other people were eating before we were served. For those looking for a little more relaxing experience, Veggie Grill serves both wine and beer. There is also a kids menu with healthy side options, such as mandarin orange slices and carrot sticks. All menu items are budget-friendly. Sandwiches run between $7 and $9, salads $8-10 and appetizers are fair priced as well, going for between $4 and $7. All ingredients are plant-based and free of cholesterol, animal fat and trans fat. You can even find gluten-free options if needed.
We were able to eat for around $20, for two entrees, two (non-alcoholic) drinks and a dessert of chocolate pudding. I did find it to be a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was flavorful and you got a healthy portion. We sure didnt leave hungry. In fact, if you want to save a bit more and arent starving, two could share one of their sandwiches and still leave full. Veggie Grill is a great option for vegetarians on a budget, or those just looking for a more healthy and reasonably priced dining venue.
