45 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Pleasant Grove

“This place is a hidden gem in Pleasant Grove. 15-20 minutes from Birmingham and with the drive. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. The food is very fresh and delicious, you can tell there's a lot of love put into it. There are American choices for the less adventurous eaters and children's menu, also vegetarian options! My personal favorites are the falafel plate, Greek salad, tahini sauce, hummus and baklava. All homemade! Go try it, you won't be disappointed!“

“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!!“

“First time to visit and we weren't disappointed! We went for lunch and sat outside - weather was perfect. Friendly and efficient staff, food came quickly, and our drinks were refilled without our even asking.
My husband and both of our friends all ordered the French Dip. They all liked it very much.
I ordered the Cranberry Pecan Salad and added grilled chicken. Their dressings are made in-house. Salad was delicious!
Definitely recommend going there. We'll be back soon.“

“Its soul food and that's what you came for

I eat here multiple times a week.. so yeah I'm biased.

Customer service brings me back even when they are not on point.. and they usually are.

The veggies are always good and seasoned just right (vegetarian options will be hard to find). The baked chicken and ox tails never disappoint.

“Just know that you have to be ready to start ordering before you even get to the steam table. They will point at you and ask what meat you want. Be prepared to decide quickly as you go down the line. DO NOT BE ON YOUR PHONE! I know this sounds harsh but this is how they are able get a lot of people fed. They have a large selection and everything is delicious.“

“We weren’t quite sure what to expect, especially since there isn’t an updated menu available online—but that only made the experience more exciting. We were pleasantly surprised to discover Chef Mark Addison, just 25 years old and incredibly talented.

We had the opportunity to sit at the chef’s table, where each dish was presented with thoughtful detail and genuine enthusiasm by Chef Mark. Drawing from his Italian and Irish heritage, he brings a unique perspective to his cooking. He even spent a month studying cuisine in northern Italy, where his grandmother is from—a connection that clearly influences his work.

As for the food: the beet and goat cheese salad with kumquats was fresh and beautifully balanced. The prawns and mussels were an absolute 10. The trout was fantastic—perfectly cooked with a crisp skin and a delicious, well-executed sauce. The lamb chops were, without question, the best I’ve ever had—sourced from Colorado, incredibly tender, and paired with a standout mint-pomegranate sauce.

It was also a pleasure to watch the young kitchen team in action. Their passion was evident—you could truly tell they love what they do.

I won’t be surprised when, in a few years, I see Chef Mark in a major city and Michelin rated.“

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

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

“I love wings plus. Out of all of the Wings joints I've been to Wings Plus in Bluff Park tops them all. I have never had anything less than freshly made delicious food and I don't just order wings. The place is always neat. I know restaurants were hit hard by the pandemic and have a hard time finding people to work. I've never been treated anything less than respectful and kind. The guys in there are great“

“I absolutely love having a cafe style grill and juice bar in town. Everything is made to order and fresh!! I’ve had the shrimp and grits, avocado toast, hummus, pizza, and a variety of juices. I have 1-2 meals on the weekends and juices last me throughout the work week. Don’t forget to get some fresh herbs for any health concerns you have!!!! Very kind owners and staff.“

“The food and service are just right. My son and I loved the wings and okra. Highly recommend, everyone needs some A&D Wings (and things)“

“Sunday dinner was delicious, they had all the delicious sides and desserts were on point, I had a veggie plate with dressing, corn, yams and black eye peas, hubby had the baked chicken and dressing with yams. Everything was good goodttttt!!“

“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.“

“Love the Chocolate PB Dates! Delicious treat if you don’t want a pastry! Pair them with a cappuccino!“

“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.“

“Going to stop here anytime I'm in Birmingham.“

“We love going for bingo on Tuesday’s or to hear live music on Wednesday“

“The food was amazing and did a to go order when I arrived everything was ready. They’ve done redecorating to make the restaurant more diner friendly and appealing. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants good food on the go or dine in.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly from what I could see“

“True soul food and very tasty.“

“🤩🤩This is my go-to location for IHOP and it’s simply the best. I usually order delivery and the food presentation and quality is top tier, I always get exactly what I ordered. The chefs are superb, I’ve never had a bad experience, I usually order the same munchies every time and each time I can tell they care. Without asking they usually provide extra napkins, condiments and the food has a sticker on it so I know no one opened it. If you want take out that’s just as good as in the restaurant here is the spot. * eggs Benedict, buttered toast and a fajita omelette pictures enclosed“

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