Great service, delicious fresh food. Love the shaded patio! Very accommodating to do my eggplant park on a bed of spinach instead of pasta 🍝 We will definitely be back again and again!

Suss - Edit
My fiancé loved the original location and wanted me to try it while we were in SA. Even though it says vegetarian they said anything on the menu can be made vegan. I ordered the tofu avocado Benedict. They even clarified vegan cheese and told me hollandaise was vegan. Brought our food out and I saw what was clearly egg and asked if it was tofu. They took it back and it was really awkward after that. As a vegan you want to trust what an establishment tells you is true. I think they would be better off not serving animal products, or training the staff. That should have never made it past the kitchen.

One of a kind vegetarian restaurant! - Edit
This is my favorite place to indulge as a vegetarian! Because the chef at Green is an adult convert to vegetarianism and he started his career as a cook in a traditional southern dinner, the food at Green is not like any other vegetarian restaurant you'll ever eat at.
Read moreAlthough many of the best menu items are full of calories, they are well worth the splurge. The popcorn tofu sandwich is incredible, even for my meat-eating friends that try Green. The buffalo tofu fingers are a favorite of mine - the well-known flavor to vegetarians of tofu makes the tofu fingers feel like comfort food but the crispy fried breading and the hot wing sauce make them an incredible treat.
The thanksgiving dinner this year was fantastic. It was a pre-set menu and everything worked! The fresh orange/cranberry/apple relish paired well with the cornmeal stuffing. The mashed potatoes were delicious with the vegetarian turkey and gravy. The string beans were perfectly tender but still snappy and fresh tasting. The golden brown home-style southern biscuit was the perfect "dinner roll" for this meal. Lastly the desert was brilliant, a ginger cookie baked with a ginger pumpkin filling and topped with a cream brulee style caramelized sugar.

Expensive but GOOD - Edit
This place is good! Be aware though, not all items on the menu are vegan. Some have cheese or other dairy. I had the protein salad/bowl which was $12 and I was very impressed with the seasoning and texture of the tofu, it was soooo good. It took me a while to decide to try this place though because it is a little pricy.
Read morePros: tasty, creative meals/flavors

Much better than my first try - Edit
My first time visiting Green was when it was located at the Pearl and I would not have recommended it then. I gave it another chance after it moved to the Quarry and I was pleasantly surprised. The service was top notch, food was so good and they had ample indoor and outdoor seating. Will definitely return

Go Green - Edit
Very cute place! Made out of the old quarry buildings. The service was fine; food came out immediately. There were a lot of options! I got the chicken fried steak (good) & the mashed potatoes and gravy were some of the best I've ever had. I'm a lover of the tiny cubed ice they use haha

The original and best - Edit
I love Green so much! It's my go to happy place for any celebration. I was the first customer in the door, at their original location in 2007, and have been a self appointed ambassador for them ever since. Their food is consistently great, and filling. While I wish they would just GO VEGAN already, I am their biggest fan as a lover of a family run place, which Green is. They recently (January 2021) moved to The Quarry from The Pearl, and I made it on closing and opening days at both locations as I cannot stay away from Green!
Read moreThey have kindly worked with local non-profits to fundraise and have special events, Mike Behrend (co-owner) teaches vegan cooking classes, and they offer take and bake meals to go, for one person or a family, they make it so easy and delicious to be vegan, I will always be so very happy that I lived in San Antonio, during the time of Green.
The wait staff is consistently sweet and attentive, although many have come and gone.
My "go to" favourites are: The Neatloaf (which left the menu, but which was a special on their recent weekly meals to go so is still valid, I ordered it every single time I went, when it was on the menu), Fish and Chips (hey, I am English!), Protein Salad (although I was heartbroken when the raw pecan hummus was replaced by regular hummus) and the Portabella and Artichoke Quesadillas (although I was disappointed again when the Diaya cheese was replaced with home made cashew cheese) with a side of MASH with gravy! I am shouting because I get the mash as a side with everything at Green, ha ha! Oh, I also love PIZZA Mondays, but inconsistent.
Green is run by a Seventh Day Adventist family, so close on their Sabbath, every Saturday. They are also the only certified Kosher restaurant(s) in San Antonio. The family also owns Earth Burger and the sadly now closed, Bok Choy on Broadway. They are and always will be golden to me. I had my 40th and 50th birthday celebrations there and hope to have my 60th there!
Pros: Gorgeous comfort food, something for everyone, Large portions
Cons: Vegetarian, when it could be vegan

Food was a little over rated - Edit
Wife and I moved to San Antonio and tried this place first for vegan. To our disappointment the chicken fried steak tasted like cardboard the kale salad was horrible but the fries where good at least. I'm not someone who leaves alot of bad reviews, but I'm just being honest.

Cold pizza and cold service - Edit
I was referred to this place because of the vegan options. I ordered a pizza and the Mediterranean bowl. We waited about 45 minutes before we got our food. It was busy, but my food sat in the heating pickup window for a long time before the server delivered it. She dropped it off and never came back. My pizza was cold. I took home to reheat it. It was yummy then.

Beware - Edit
Green has a history of taking real cheese off of the enchiladas and just putting vegan cheese over it and sending it out. Owner has a history of sexually harassing the employees. Stealing recipes from previous employees. This used to be my favorite place now with everything that’s coming out I can no longer support them.

FAVORITE PLACE EVER - Edit
Loved the atmosphere and even though we were just visiting from out of town the waitress remembered us when we came in twice in the same week. Everything we tried was amazing and I honestly only wanted to eat there and no where else ever again. Their cupcakes were great too!

Best in San An - Edit
This place DELIVERS! I usually avoid fully-vegan restaurants because I feel that they focus so much on everything being vegan that they forget to make food that tastes good (senior veggie...) BUT this place was FANTASTIC! Everything I had was delicious and made me want more. The chicken fried steak was awesome and the mashed potatoes were perfect. My friend had the fajitas and I wish I could've had more of it haha. My other friend ate his burger sooo quickly because of how tasty it was.
Read moreI also loved the big patio and the kind service. Generally speaking their menu is kind of all over the place, but it seems every choice is tasty!

Good comfort food I had the spicy buffalo sandwich the wife had the teriyaki wrap they were both very good. We got mashed potatoes on the side which were incredible.

Nicest people ever! - Edit
During our extended visit to SA, we wound up here four times, including Thanksgiving dinner. Every time was excellent. The staff was great - efficient and fun to talk with. Burgers were tasty. Pancakes and breakfast bowl were satisfying. The thanksgiving meal was worth it! Be sure to try it next year.

Good stuff! - Edit
I have been here a couple of times now. Everything I have had has been good (fried avocados, spicy chik-n sandwich, vegan breakfast bowl, cupcakes). If you're debating on whether or not to have a cupcake after lunch or dinner, do yourself a favor and go for it. They are pretty good!
