The expanding vegan/vegetarian restaurant chain, Veggie Grill, is now serving Encino, making it the first location in the Valley and the ninth in LA County. “We have had many requests to open a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley and feel the area is a natural fit for us,” says Chief Energizing Officer Greg Dollarhyde.
Right along Ventura Boulevard, vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers alike are welcomed by a friendly staff providing excellent customer service. The popular chain features a flavorful variety of 100 percent plant-based soups, salads, burgers, hot sandwiches, home-style plates, desserts, and organic teas, all made fresh to order. “Since many of our guests are omnivores, our menu is developed with this in mind,” says Dollarhyde. “We have always focused on creating delicious plant-based meals that are appealing to both vegetarians and omnivores.”
Veggie Grill’s signature “chickin” items like “Chill Out Crispy Chickin’ Wings,” the “VG Rollers,” and the “Crispy Chickin’ Plate” have become instant personal favorites. It’s easy to forget you’re eating “fake” chicken. The “Santa Fe Crispy Chickin’” sandwich and the “Buffalo Bomber” for spicy palates are bestsellers among non-vegetarians. The “All Hail Kale” salad is a must-try. Whatever you choose on the menu, rest assured that all items are meatless, dairy-free, eggless, cholesterol-free, and without animal or trans fats. Not only healthy and tasty, the vegan food at Veggie Grill is also affordable.
