The Ultimate Guide to Eating Vegan at Green Tomato Grill

Think eating vegan means giving up flavor, variety, or protein? Think again.

At Green Tomato Grill, eating plant-based doesn't mean ordering a plain salad and calling it a day. Our menu was built around fresh, flavorful ingredients that can be customized to fit the way you eat—including vegan.

Whether you're fully vegan, eating more plant-based, or simply looking for a meal that's packed with vegetables and plant-based protein, there are plenty of ways to build a satisfying meal at GTG.

And the best part? You can make any item on our menu vegan.

Start With Your Protein

A great meal starts with a great protein, and we've got options.

Choose grilled tofu, crispy tofu, avocado, or soyrizo to make your meal your own. Want something savory with a little texture? Go crispy tofu. Prefer something lighter? Try grilled tofu. Craving something with a little more spice? Soyrizo is the move.

You can add your plant-based protein to bowls, salads, wraps, and more, making it easy to build a meal that's both flavorful and protein-forward.

Vegan Bowls With Plenty of Flavor

Our bowls are one of the easiest ways to build a completely vegan meal—and there are plenty of flavors to choose from.

Chile Verde Bowl

Fresh, bright, and packed with flavor, the Chile Verde Bowl can be made vegan with your choice of plant-based protein.

Teriyaki Bowl

If you're craving something savory and a little sweet, the Teriyaki Bowl is a great choice. Add grilled or crispy tofu for a plant-based protein boost.

Thai Peanut Bowl

Creamy, nutty, savory, and satisfying. The Thai Peanut Bowl is a go-to when you're looking for something with bold flavor and plenty of texture.

Chimichurri Bowl

Fresh herbs, bright flavors, and a little something extra. Add your favorite vegan protein to make this bowl completely plant-based.

Miso Bowl

For something savory and umami-forward, the Miso Bowl is an easy vegan option when customized with your favorite plant-based protein.

Mediterranean Bowl

Fresh vegetables, bright Mediterranean flavors, and your choice of vegan protein make this one an easy plant-based favorite.

Baja Bowl

Love a little Southwest-inspired flavor? Order the Baja Bowl without cheese and add your favorite vegan protein.

Greek Mezze Bowl

The Greek Mezze Bowl can also be made vegan by leaving off the feta and adding your choice of plant-based protein.

Yes, You Can Have a Vegan Wrap

Sometimes you just want something you can pick up and eat—and our wraps make that easy.

The Greek Mezze Wrap and Thai Cashew Wrap can both be made vegan with your choice of plant-based protein.

You can also customize some of our other wraps by swapping in vegan protein and making the appropriate sauce and cheese substitutions.

Because your lunch shouldn't have to be boring just because you're eating plant-based.

Make Any Salad a Protein-Packed Vegan Meal

If fresh vegetables are more your thing, our salads give you plenty of options.

Try the Thai Chili Cashew Salad or Miso Ginger Salad with grilled or crispy tofu for a satisfying plant-based meal.

The Greek Mezze Salad can be made vegan without feta, while the Southwest Salad can be ordered without cheese.

And if you're a Caesar fan, you don't have to give it up. Our GTG Caesar Salad can be customized without cheese and with a vegan dressing.

Looking for something a little more indulgent? The Avocado Bacon Ranch Salad can be made vegan by leaving off the bacon and using our vegan ranch.

Don't Forget About the Vegan Char Burger

A burger craving doesn't disappear just because you're vegan.

Our Vegan Char Burger is made specifically for plant-based eaters, featuring a Beyond Meat patty, vegan cheddar, grilled onion, mushroom, arugula, tomato, pickle, and vegan aioli.

It's proof that vegan food doesn't have to feel like a compromise.

Sides? They're All Vegan.

Here's some especially good news: all of our sides are vegan.

That means you can add a little something extra to your meal without having to worry about finding another plant-based option.

Grab some Sweet Potato Fries, Shishito Peppers, Fried Green Tomatoes, Crispy Cauliflower Bites, a Chimichurri Hummus Plate, or a House Salad to round out your meal.

And yes, our Fried Green Tomatoes and Crispy Cauliflower Bites can be paired with our Vegan Ranch for dipping.

We Take Our Sauces Seriously

If you've eaten at GTG before, you already know the sauce can make the meal.

We have a variety of house-made sauces and dressings, and almost all of them are vegan. The only exceptions are our Chipotle Ranch and Caesar Dressing.

That means you have plenty of ways to customize your meal with bold, fresh flavor.

Want something spicy? Go for it. Craving something creamy? We've got you. Want that classic ranch experience? Our Vegan Ranch has you covered.

We also offer vegan cheese, so you don't have to skip the cheesy elements of your favorite meal just because you're eating plant-based.

What Does a High-Protein Vegan Meal at GTG Look Like?

If you're trying to get more protein while eating vegan, here's an easy formula:

Choose your base + add tofu or soyrizo + load up on vegetables + add avocado + finish with a vegan sauce.

For example, you could build a bowl with grilled or crispy tofu, plenty of vegetables, avocado, and your favorite vegan sauce. Add a side of Sweet Potato Fries or another vegan side, and you've got a meal that's flavorful, filling, and completely plant-based.

The possibilities are pretty much endless.

Vegan Doesn't Have to Mean Limiting

We believe eating vegan should be about having more choices, not fewer.

That's why we've made it possible to customize our entire menu to fit a vegan lifestyle. Whether you're in the mood for a protein-packed bowl, a fresh salad, a handheld wrap, a burger, or a few sides to share, you can find a combination that works for you.

So next time you're at Green Tomato Grill, don't just look for the word "vegan" on the menu.

Build your own. Make it plant-based. Make it high-protein. Make it yours.
