I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v

Where are y’all located? I would love to come.
Tofu and carrots were rock solid like hockey pucks. Inedible garbage. I threw the whole bowl out. Now I have to drive back to downtown Bethesda and spend more money at Cava just because hmmm gee whiz maybe it might be nice to enjoy some edible food for dinner tonight. Literal trash.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that the kale is saltier than the Atlantic Ocean. Who is eating at this place?

Before stopping by Dig, I went to Chase to grab some money. One of the $20 bills was worn and wrinkled. When paying, I handed it to Dave (David?). I jokingly stated that I wanted to get rid of it because of its wrinkled state. Five minutes into my meal, he approached me, saying he did not believe the bill was real. This situation unfolded in front of other diners. I immediately left and went back to Chase. Melissa, the branch manager, and another employee did their due diligence and verified that the bill was not counterfeit. I called Dave while still at the bank and had Melissa explain that the $20 was real. While I fully understand that one must protect their business, I know there is a professional way to handle any business situation. Dave should have taken me aside to have a private conversation and not in earshot of other patrons. As a community member and business owner, I am highly disappointed with my experience.

Really cute outside patio and inside. Food is always on point and served quickly. It’s not too expensive for a lunch or dinner option. There’s a lot of choices. It’s fresh. It tastes fresh. I definitely recommend

Really good family meal. Friendly staff. Love the farro salad and tofu. Not thrilled that that charred chicken was all dark meat. But it was good, despite being dark meat.

I was thrilled when DIG decided to come to DC and only wish there were more locations. Staff is helpful and friendly. I only wish the cauliflower was not seasonal.

I walked in the door, and within 3 minutes I had my food. It was very good, too. It was also pretty healthy (rice, chicken and veggies). This place is great, I would definitely recommend checking it out.
