What did I like about Veggie Galaxy? Everything! Wish I would have known about this place sooner. I almost cried actual tears that everything can be made vegan🥹 The Mac and cheese was so freaking amazing, the staff was so kind, and I can’t wait to visit again! 10/10 recommend😍💗

Love Veggie Galaxy and you will too! - Edit
First of all, everything can be made vegan if you ask, and a lot of dishes are vegan by default. I love the Galaxy so much that I’m a weekly regular here.
Read moreThe staff is amazing and very friendly, I always feel well taken care of and the host(s) always have a smile! I’m a diner guy from way back and since transitioning to a plant based diet, I’ve longed for a good diner experience: the Veggie Galaxy is it!!
The food is everything I could want. We often get the poutine for a fun treat, French toast is delicious and made just right. (Love the banana butter kick in the middle) get it stuffed or traditional, you won’t regret either as long as you brought your appetite. The chicken and waffle is absolutely delicious with a great combo of tender seitan chicken and fluffy waffles doused in gravy and syrup mmmm-Mm. Don’t hesitate to chow down on a Mac and stack, how could you go wrong with mac’n’cheese waffles?!? Tofu scramble is nicely done with a hint of mustard that I love. I’ll never turn down a Ruben or a chick-pea tuna melt, the shakes are amazing a must try. Every bakery item I’ve ever tried has been spectacular.
Do not miss: I cannot say enough good things about the diner; hope to see you there!
Pros: Everything can be vegan, most is by default, Great staff!, Delicious food: everything you want in a diner
Cons: Not much in the way of “health food”…, …But that’s not why I go. , Sometimes a wait: very popular.

Loved this place!! I’m too sad I only had the chance to visit once during my stay.
Read moreIt’s a vegetarian place but with pretty much the entire menu can be made vegan or it’s vegan by default.

good, but not my first choice! - Edit
i wanna start off with saying this was my first time here, and i’d probably come back and try the breakfast. we started with the vegan mac n cheese bites which were delicious and nostalgic tasting, but they were served a little cold:( i got the french onion soup which was very tasty!! super oniony and slightly sweet and the bread and cheese on top was soo good i would for sure get it again. i also had a taste of my friends broccoli cheddar soup and it was veryyy delicious. then i got the vegan steak and cheese sub and it was….. eh. definitely a diner food. the potato salad was good though- lots of dill! all in all it was a good experience and i appreciate the amount of unique options and the super kind and friendly staff. but if you’re looking for a nice sandwich or meal some other places in boston may be a better choice!!
Read morePros: lots of options, unique foods, nostalgic food
Cons: mediocre tasting food, kind of expensive appetizers

Lots of vegan choices - Edit
A fun, very busy vegetarian diner. The pancakes were delicious, although the banana butter that came with it was a bit overpowering. We came back a second time and had lunch. I had the Kendall Square burger. Although it tasted pretty good, it was a giant sloppy mess. Both my husband and I felt like we had eaten straight up junk food after we left. Good for a treat but I certainly wouldn’t eat like that often.
Read morePros: Very vegan friendly, Comfort food, Fun diner vibe
Cons: Very busy, you may have to wait, Not many healthy choices

Totally phenomenal! - Edit
Top-notch customer service from beginning to end!
Read moreJust amazingly delicious food and drink!!! Every last speck of it! Everything that should be crispy was *perfectly* crispy. Every drop of sauce was
The atmosphere and setting are unique too. It is very reminiscent of Spiral Diner in Dallas/Ft Worth with the cool retro diner aesthetic.
I would consider a trip to Boston any time to have an excuse to go here, again, and again!
Pros: Everything was truly perfect!
Cons: Need locations all across the country :)

I can’t stop coming back here! - Edit

So good!! - Edit
Huge menu with all day breakfast, lunch and dinner plus a dessert menu! The staff was very friendly and the portions were huge! Most items are vegan and are labeled. The items that aren’t vegan can likely be veganized and all of the desserts are vegan. Would give 5 stars if they would quit serving egg and dairy and go completely vegan! Metered street parking is available near by.

Just amazing! - Edit
I’ve already been a couple times and tried the galaxy burger, root beer float, poutine, and biscuits and gravy. All were amazing! It has an American diner vibe and great for me as a tourist to try some classics. Highly recommend

Another Galaxy - Edit
Definitely a must visit when in the Boston area. The menu is so extensive that it took a while for me to decide what to order. I decided on the biscuits and gravy, home fries, tofu scramble, and cheese sticks (lol). Everything was delicious but I did not care for the tofu scramble. Portions are huge which is nice.
Read moreI would definitely order dessert if you dine here. I didn’t unfortunately and they all look very tasty.

Not a thing to find fault with - Edit
I’ve eaten here several times and have always been happy. Tons of choice and like others have said, everything can be made vegan. The menu has classics like club sandwiches but also unusual stuff like mac-n-cheese waffle sandwiches. All the desserts are amazing. Portions are huge and the prices are totally fair.

American Diner (Vegetarian) - Edit
I can see why this place is Uber-popular. It's got great ambience and stays true to the American Diner vibe! I had the French toast, which was pretty tasty. 4 stars because this place really ought to be vegan.
Read moreThey say that their whole menu can be veganised and they have the word vegan repeated atleast a 100 times in the menu. You'd think this place will be all- vegan.
Pros: Vegan friendly American diner
Cons: Confusing menu for vegans, High time this place went all-vegan
