Veggie Grill is my go-to lunch spot in Harvard Square! The staff is always so warm and friendly. The fajita quesadilla, wraps and burgers are absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful to have an all-vegan restaurant in the area, and the quality of their food is consistently top-notch. Absolutely love Veggie Grill! ❤️✨

My chick'n sandwich and fries were delicious- the yo-egg and vegan bacon left nothing to desire! And the fried chick'n was so tasty. The fries were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The ketchup was high-quality and just right. I see what the hype is all about and will definitely be coming back.

I can’t say enough about the kindness and care I received at Veggie Grill in Harvard Square — it honestly turned my whole day around.
I came in after a long hospital appointment, feeling a little worn down, totally famished, and navigating the tricky postpartum world of eating soy-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free while breastfeeding my newborn. It's not an easy combo to manage when you're hungry and tired... but then Manny, the manager, stepped in like an absolute angel.
From the moment I explained my dietary needs, Manny couldn’t have been more understanding or attentive. He really took the time to go through ingredients, check in the back, modify items to suit my restrictions, and make sure I had something nourishing and safe to eat. It wasn’t just good service — it was genuine care. In a moment where I felt depleted, he made me feel so seen and supported.
There was such warmth in the way he helped — no rush, no eye-rolls, just kindness, patience, and real attention to detail. And thanks to him, I left not only full (finally!) but also a little lighter emotionally. It’s such a small but powerful thing — to feel taken care of like that, especially as a new mom adjusting to so much.
If you have dietary needs — or even if you don’t — this place is a gem. And if you’re lucky enough to be helped by Manny, know that you’re in the best hands.
Thank you, Veggie Grill, and thank you Manny, from the bottom of my (very full) heart!

With my wife, during our trip in Boston, decided to take a look at cambridge and harvard school. We took a break for lunch at veggie grill: we had a lentils soup and a truffle mac and cheese to share, both super tasteful dishes.

I’m sure the food is even better in-person, but this was phenomenal after a 60 minute DoorDash trip to the Seaport! The mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and chicken bacon ranch sandwich were great. With the meat and cheese analogs available now, my bar for burgers is pretty high, but the steakhouse burger was a truly next-level combination of flavors and textures. The truffle mac and loaded fries were good, but nothing special. It all made great hotel leftovers as well!

My husband and I had lunch at the Veggie Grill and was pleasantly surprised with our meal. It was absolutely delicious! The carrot cake was so tasty and the lentil soup was fragrant and delicious as well. His burrito was quite filling and satisfying. I had some kind of chicken tofu with a lemon sauce, potatoes and crispy onion rings with a side of Pico de Gallo (I think that's what it was called). We'll definitely visit again.

The Beyond Classic ChzBurger was so so good. I'm sooo glad I chose this restaurant randomly. Not a vegan, but I have so many dietary restrictions, it makes me easier to eat anything plant based.
The price was good and totally worth it! I don't think I ever tasted vegan gluten free cheese burger that good!! The staff was so friendly. The place is clean, not to mention the bathroom!
This is definitely gonna be my first choice everytime I'm around the area!!
Staff was wonderful and attentive, food was impeccable!! I got the chicken ceaser wrap and it was truly heavenly!!! Everything tasted fresh and portions were perfect

Truly the best restaurant in Harvard Square—bar none. I’ve been frequenting this place for three years, and I am never ceased to be amazed by the quality of food and service. Manny, the manager, is one of the kindest, most generous individuals that I have ever met. He has cleaned up a mess that I made after spilling a drink (a drink that he gave me free of charge by the way). Afterward, he offered me another drink along with a dessert. Employees have greeted and bid me goodbye with a level of warmth that can stop you in your tracks; it is the kind of feeling that you get when you know that someone is extending genuine care in your direction. I could go on about the level of care and attention and hospitality that the employees of Veggie Grill have given me, but I am constrained by time, and the potential risk of sounding overly laudatory (though in this case, the praise is deserved).
To boot, the food is very delicious and entirely plant-based. Also, Harvard students take note: You get 20% off with EVERY ORDER (so long as you show your ID).
I know the praise may seem effusive, and some may question whether I’ve been goaded into posting this review or, at the very least, paid off to do it. I haven’t. I just love amazing food paired with amazing service, and that is what you’ll get here. I only regret waiting three years to post this!!!
Oh and before I forget: Great casual and relaxed study atmosphere (with free wi-fi) for those who want to be a little closer to the Charles.
