22 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Mccalla

“The service here is amazing! I recently ordered the chicken hibachi with extra veggies and yum yum sauce to go. I didn’t check the food before I left and when I got home they gave me extra noodles instead of veggies. I messaged them on Facebook to let them know of the mistake and they offered to remake my order for free at my convenience! I went and picked up the remade order a week later and they even gave me the extra yum yum sauce and apologized again when I picked up the food. Great customer service and the food is amazing 🤤 Will definitely be back with family and friends!“

“A former college teammate of mine took my son and I to this fabulous steak and seafood place. The food was great and the historical atmosphere added to the fantastic food. Plan to bring my wife here on my next trip down south. I know she will love it!“

“there cleanliness great employees there food is the best.“

“My family and I (including the omnivores) LOVED the lasagna, candied yams, collards, maple roasted brussel sprouts, banana pudding and the pineapple ginger lemonade! Bessemer is so fortunate to have access to your talent! We live in Virginia and are visiting family this week…having this option and ability to pick up warm food on Thanksgiving day morning was such a mental blessing for me! Having such amazing deliciousness that impressed everyone was a win-win! Also the jerk mushrooms ya’lll they are a spicy wonderful explosion of flavor!!“

“The food is always hot and delicious. The owner and wait staff are excellent! Don’t even get me started on how delicious the mushroom cheese dip is (now I have to order it every time)! lol“

“We visited this great spot in the gorgeous Ross Bridge neighborhood to try something new for my son's birthday meal. Because of the intense Alabama heat, we chose to sit inside, though they have a really nice screened-in patio available. The restaurant is intimate but well laid out, featuring a couple of distinct dining areas and a bar.

Since it was our first time, our server, Daniella, recommended the candied bacon bombs to start. They came with a side of cheese curds, and both were absolutely delicious. Even as small as the curds were, they had a perfect cheese pull!

For our mains, I ordered the cowboy burger with an added egg and a side of sweet potato fries, while my son chose the shrimp and grits. My burger was incredible, a solid 9.5 out of 10. My son rated his shrimp and grits a 7, though he has a lot of experience with that dish to compare it to.

Daniella provided fantastic service, checking in at just the right times without hovering. I later realized I forgot to ask if they do anything special for birthdays, but honestly, my son was probably glad I forgot!

Overall, it was a great meal, excellent service, and a very cool environment.“

“I haven’t been over to see Jamié in many years. Still number one.“

“The food was delicious and the portions were large. We had the chili relleno and chicken quesadilla. I highly recommend.“

“10/10- have used them several times for catering large groups and have never been disappointed. Neither have my guests!! Great food. Extremely affordable. Very accommodating. My go-to for Mexican cuisine in Columbia.“

“We had a phenomenal dinner at Brock’s. Huge shoutout to Chef Mark and our server, Diamond!!

Almost as soon as we were seated, the manager came over to talk to me about my dietary restriction. He explained that Chef Mark had seen the note on my reservation that I can’t have added salt and had already taken it into consideration. What really blew me away was that they actually went out of their way to prepare a special potato au gratin for me with no added salt. That kind of thoughtfulness and attention is so rare, and it meant more to me than they probably realized.

Chef Mark is truly AMAZING. My filet mignon was cooked absolutely perfectly. It was incredibly tender, flavorful, and honestly one of the best steaks I’ve had, even without added salt. The asparagus was also cooked perfectly, and the special potatoes were unbelievably delicious. It takes a truly talented chef to make food taste that good while working around a restriction, and Chef Mark absolutely nailed it.

And then there was Diamond, who made the whole experience even better. She was fantastic! She was attentive, funny, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She took the time to give us detailed descriptions of different dishes and told us which ones were her personal favorites, which we absolutely love when a server does. It made the experience feel much more personal rather than just ordering off a menu.

Between Chef Mark’s incredible care and talent, Diamond’s wonderful service, and the manager making a point to personally check in with us, we felt genuinely taken care of from the moment we sat down. Brock’s should be very proud of this team. We will absolutely be back!“

“Speedy's is a great hometown restaurant with terrific Mexican food. Their taco salads are our family favorite. Fast, friendly service and tasty food!“

“Always very nice staff and fresh food. The food is delicious too“

“JT’s is fairly basic as far as hotel bars go, though I’d think the renaissance would hold a higher standard. The food was excellent; fresh and delicious, just limited in variety. The drink menu was elevated but felt extremely short for a cocktail lounge. The staff did a great job, but were clearly struggling to keep up with the crowd.

Vegetarian options: Limited standard menu, so veg options are extremely limited.“

“When we visit from Mississippi, we eat at Full Moon at least once. My favorite thing is the Fried Green Tomato’s and the carrot cake. I need to find out what kind of HoneybMustard Sauce they use, the best I ever had. 💜💛“

“3 server Sleep place nasty. waited for 10 minutes for some one to come to front to tell me the waiting to clean the worst crew I ve ever came across in a Waffle house“

“Had a very mom and pop feeling. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced especially for BBQ. Was very crowded due to the holiday but it was handled well and everyone had a great attitude. Wait wasn't even that long. Reasonable sized portions as well. Haven't been here since before they closed the first time but I will definitely be back. My only complaint would be a little more sauce on the sandwich but I'm sure they would have gave me more if I asked but I wasnt waiting for a cup of sauce. Maybe have some in bottles.“

“Ate here about a week ago. It was busy but service was fast and polite. Pizza and wings were good. The only reason I don't give the atmosphere a 5 star is because the city it is in isn't exactly an area I'd let my guard down.“

“Beautiful pizzas fast service really enjoyed it will have again soon“

“My friends and I had the best time being served by Dominique at Cracker Barrel in Bessemer. Servers are hit and miss these days in giving good service, so we were so delighted to have such a wonderful and attentive waitress who gave us excellent service. Dominique was so friendly and outright charming and made us laugh so hard. I haven't had such a good time out in a long time. She was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. I was not disappointed either as the food was excellent. Thank you, Dominique, for being so great at your job. I will always ask for you when I come to that Cracker Barrel.“

“Excelente lugar y deliciosa comida. Mitad de Asada y mitad de chicharrón.“
