"This place is great! Have been here a few times now. I have had their vegan burger a couple of times, eggless tofu salad, sea moss smoothie. The food tastes really good, filling, fresh, and quick on being prepared. Parking can be limited, but there are a few options in the area. Stuff is pretty friendly and attentive. Recommend."

"⭐ Watson’s Veggie Garden — Visalia’s Crown Jewel of Healthy Eating & Community ⭐ I was honestly worried about leaving Santa Barbara for my first travel assignment because their salad bar was second to none… but wow, was I wrong. Watson’s Veggie Garden might actually be one of the best salad places I’ve ever been to — and I say that as a Whole-Food Plant-Based nurse practitioner who lives and breathes this lifestyle. From the moment I walked in, Mia, Izzy, Gabby, Vanessa, and Joaquin made me feel instantly at home. They listened to every single need, made thoughtful suggestions, and treated me with such genuine kindness. Their warmth is rare — and unforgettable. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. 🥗 Salads — fresh, vibrant, and loaded with flavor 🌯 Wraps — delicious 🍵 Unsweetened tea — perfect 🍰 Whole-food plant-based desserts — shockingly good And since I pile on extra greens and add as many ingredients as humanly possible 😅, they accommodated me with the sweetest smiles. Zero hesitation. Zero judgment. Just love. What truly blew me away is how deeply connected Watson’s is in the community. They told me about an incredible event — Ziaya’s Gratitude Festival — happening right here in town. This restaurant doesn’t just feed people… they connect people. They uplift other local wellness leaders, yoga instructors, mental health counselors, organic retailers, and regenerative landscapers. That is Lifestyle Medicine in action. They even recommended organic, chemical-free landscaping resources — which touched me deeply. I grew up working with my dad in his landscaping business and later helped build the world’s first farm-based healthcare system, so seeing a community that values regenerative and organic living means everything to me. And a big bonus: they recycle automatically. I didn’t have to ask anyone to deal with cans or special requests — they just do it. Watson’s Veggie Garden is incredible food, community connection, sustainability, compassion, and joy all in one place. I’m happily spending my entire daily meal budget here for as long as I’m stationed in Visalia. 🌿💚 I couldn’t recommend a place more highly — and thank you again to Mia, Izzy, Gabby, Vanessa, and Joaquin for making me feel like family. 💚🌿"

"The food here is great. I really enjoyed the master shake and vegetarian. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. One complaint is that if you eat too much of this food in one sitting, you gain the ability to talk to trees, which sounds cool at first until you realize that trees are violently racist (They called me things that I had to look up.) will definitely come back here again, But I will probably not eat as much as I did"

"Awesome is understatement. If you enjoy vegan / vegetarian, gluten free, this place is a GEM! Great FOOD. There is a small store with lots of options to try."

"They don't change their gloves before making vegan meals. You have to request a glove change which is odd because it should just be common sense that if you've been touching fish and other non vegan products that you should put fresh gloves on before preparing a vegan meal. I don't recommend ordering food here if you're vegan as it will Very likely be contaminated with non-vegan things. None of the girls working in there are vegan so even if you do request a glove change it's very likely your food will somehow come into contact with non-vegan things because veganism isn't something they've been trained to take seriously. It's unfortunate that this is the first place that pops up when you search vegan places in Visalia."
