Reviews for Nature's Grill & Juice Bar in Ventura, CA
This place used to be so great. What happened? This visit and the last visit the food was poor. Two of us ordered it was over... $50. I do not feel that I received value for my money. Vegetarian Chili was just ok, way too many sliced black olives. Wherewere the veggies?? It was very salty. Caesar salad was just ok, lettuce was not that fresh. Chicken breast had zero flavor. Sideof pita bread was $1.25 on the menu, I was charged $2.50. I guess I'm done coming here. There are many more new food options onMain Street now. I would recommend you try those out before coming here. Read more
Not necessarily the most exciting place, but Nature's Grill does cater to vegetarians and vegans by having alternative proteins... and other substitutes (like vegenaise). I got the Good Karma Burger which has a nice, filling tempeh patty. Fries would be niceyou get chips and salsa. If you know Natural Cafe in SB/Goleta, it's essentially the same kind of restaurant (same owner back inthe day, I think). Nice local beers on tap as well. I'd recommend overall, it's just some plant-based dishes may be a bit bland(like a plate of rice and veg and that's it lol). Read more
I've loved eating at the Nature's Grill since it opened on Main St. I have always enjoyed the menu options for vegetarian and... has always brought me back because of the fresh quality of the ingredients. I have noticed a huge change lately but I havedismissing it as a sign of the time. This Friday was my breaking point. I ordered a Natural Burger and added cheese and avocado.We also ordered extra condiments for each of us which added to the total around 10 dollars more than the listed price. Once wegot our order none of the extras condiments except the avocado where there. My hamburger patty wasn't soy plus, the patty hadseveral burnt grill marks that made it taste bad, the cheese was missing, the wheat bun tasted dry and old. The worse parts werethe old avocado slices and the grilled onions that tasted like fermented or rotten. It was horrible ???? I am completely doneeating at this restaurant. I will not recommend to anyone. Read more
Their Turkey Cobb salad is ????. Also love the Local Favorite. They make the best soups, I?ve never tried one I didn?t like!... Their employees are so nice and the food is always fresh and ready on time. Read more
Wow! I am so happy I discovered this place. They have counter service and outdoor seating, and are clearly taking health and... safety seriously during the pandemic. They were helpful with my order (I have allergies) and the food was delicious and healthy.I had the tempeh burger in a gorgeous lettuce wrap and of course I added avocado. The chips and salsa that came with were greatand I tried a vegan chocolate milkshake which was super creamy and delightful. Great variety and vegan options- there is a goodamount of soy on the menu so be aware of that if you?re avoiding soy. ***Make sure you ask to add the tip before they run yourcredit card if you don?t have cash- there is no way to add tip after. *** Friendly service and lovely atmosphere PLUS amazingfresh food- I?ll be back soon :) P.S. there is easy street parking - free lot a block past Main, and Main is closed off forpedestrians only.

It all taste fresh. Not much seasoning on the stir fry, but the veggies do compliment it well. The salad was also quite good.... Customer service was good too. Read more
Their fresh juices are a definite WOW. I was looking for a healthy and tasty lunch, and this place exceeded my expectations. I... had the "sweet spicy" juice blend, along with portobello mushroom sandwich. The sprouts on my sandwich made it dazzle for me. Wewere a party of five and all of us were very satisfied with our food and overall experience. Read more
Good - People taking the order were friendly, place was clean and well maintained. Bad - I've had veggie quesadilla in many... places, but I've never see whole pieces of broccoli and zucchini in a veggie quesadilla! I've never seen such big pieces in asalad, let alone a quesadilla. The cheese to veggie ratio was also dismal. The dressing was bland. My companion who orderedsalad was also not impressed with it. At the ordering counter, they list suggested tip as 22%, then 20%, then 15% (or 18 Idon't remember). Since when did suggested tip for a place that doesn't have a wait staff become 22%, and why would that be shownin descending order? I find that disingenuous. Read more
