27 Best Vegan Restaurants in Merced

“First visit to Scott’s Diner - but definitely not my last! Breakfast was amazing and our waiter Tad was super helpful. We loved it!?“

“Incredible, the BEST Indian food I have ever had. The food is so warm, hearty, and so much flavor and spice… I will absolutely be coming back here many times!“

“Great food. I love everything about the chicken and beef kabob plate, the meat the rice and that salad! yum! You gotta try the new rolled Baklava ♡ Gotta mention Tony and his staff, amazing and friendly service. It's our favorite place to eat.“

“The food is always delicious and the flavors are always rich. I’ve always enjoyed every dish I’ve had here whether it was ordering off the menu or the lunch buffet. The staff has always been kind and attentive. It’s usually a calm atmosphere with music in the background even when it’s a little busier. By far my favorite Indian food restaurant in Merced!“

“Ordered some sandwiches for lunch, when we went to pay the lady behind the counter noticed I put no tip. I called in the sandwiches. I drove there and I picked them up. They had to do absolutely nothing extra except for their job and then wanted a tip on the end of it. Tips are for when you go above and beyond not when you’re doing the bare minimum for a pick up phone order. Good sandwich, but probably won’t be back“

“Good service plus food always excellent 👌“

“Delicious authentic Thai food. Family run, maybe the best pho I’ve ever had!“

“Great place for some really personal service. The cream of green chili soup is the absolute best thing served with some homemade bread makes it irresistible!“

“Service needs improvement, the minestrone soup was not good and the salad well, olives tasted old and the waiter just told me everything was fresh, not going back anytime soon, it was a experience, hopefully they will improve, we always had to flag down somebody for service.“

“The place that made me LOVE a loaded tea!!!!“

“Best pizza with a variety of toppings and specialty items. Great price for the quality!!!“

“I am a first time customer and I would say the service here is great! There were 2 waitresses working at the time I came in and both were so kind and accommodating. I sat by the kitchen area to charge my phone and noticed all the workers has great work ethics. It was nice to see. I ordered the spring rolls, and they were delicious! 😋

Thank you to those 2 waitresses for making this first-time experience very welcoming. I will be back again to order more items on the menu!“

“We LOVED every aspect of our lunch at Destino’s. The food was as delicious as it was beautiful and the owner was so accommodating to both our dog and toddler on their patio. The patio and inside of the restaurant were both decorated with such warm charm and coziness. The owner even took extra time to reccomend local activities for us to do with our toddler. I would highly recommend this resturant for anyone looking for a yummy family outing.“

“I've been coming here since I moved here Merced back in 2010. This has always been my most favorite restaurant that when my two children were able to eat regular food we'd let them have pho and it's our family's most favorite place to dine out whenever we have the chance! Their food would always come out with good quality and flavor, service has always been quick, they have always been so kind and welcoming, and the restaurant is always clean. It's definitely a place I'd recommend for eveyone to come and try out.“

“It’s a small but cozy and it feels more home-like than restaurant style. Food is top tier especially for being in the Central Valley (I’m originally born and raised in the bay so I’m really picky about my food). This is one my favorite places to eat in Merced, I’ve eaten here a handful of times and their food never disappoints. You can tell the chef pours a lot love into the recipes. My only complaint is I wish they were equipped with more than one high chair. During my recent visit, I dined in with my one year old but there was another family already occupying the only high chair they have.“

“Best service and foods are delicious 😋“

“I feel like I was raised in this place. The owners are family, and you can really tell. I left Merced a long time ago and I’ve been all over the states and the world, but I swear to God, those shredded beef fried tacos with the mild salsa will always be my home. I miss this place so much I wish I could teleport. Thank you to all the people who’ve kept it running all these years. Your meals made a home for me there.
For the rest of y’all, you literally can’t go wrong, I have not had a SINGLE bad meal there EVER in 30 years. Muchas gracias, con cariño, Sydney Cooke ♥️“

“Love this place! My family always has a great time with great food. Friendly staff ALWAYS“

“Mi lugar favorito para comer“

“I ate at the pavilion during a tour from my high school and it was decent but here at the dining center my man Gilbert the Frog got laid out and we don't know who dunnit. Our tour guide Miguel Cruz was also chill and had the right answers to most of our questions but didn't know who killed our guy. Rest in Peace my boy Gilbert??️“

“My wife and I love this place. There food is always good and the staff is great. I will day they need more staff lol. I got a little one who is kind of wild sometimes (ASD) lol and they are always kind to him. They get pretty busy, other then that they have a lot of great food options. I would recommend trying it out if you havent.“

“Former (still sort of active?) theater that's now a game room and bar/restaurant. Food mostly good, one of the tacos we had was devoured by all, the other was just okay. They have a ton of beer taps accessed by RFID cards as well, that system didn't quite work as well as it should have in practice during our visit, and several more taps than expected were empty. There's some potential here but it wasn't quite fully realized.“

“This restaurant reminds me so much of someone's hometown visit to savor mother's home cooked food. No frills, down to earth and unpretentious. You just get good food and service. May not be for some if bright lights and modern decor is your thing. Loved it.“

“Been a while since I've eaten at Thai Cuisine II. Reason being is that it is out of my way. With the food being amazing and the Atmosphere being welcoming, I don't know why it being out of my way is an excuse to not come back here from time to time. I totally recommend this place to anyone wanting some authentic Thai Food. Also if you love spicy, they will deliver.“

“Great hospitality,very awesome!“

“First time I’ve been here. Service was good, but the food is amazingly good. I got a few different meals for my family. Everything was on point. Definitely check this place out.“

“Long waits in drive through
But count on your favorite items to be
In stock or on the menu as long as it is not seasonal

My choice is the herbal tea it has a quiet taste
Hot for a morning

The Mediterranean salad is bursting with flavor the chickpea hummus is the best with chicken or without

Also the multi grain is my choice of bread

I love the chocolate macaron pastry

Lastly i like that the dining area area has self serve options for customization“
