50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Alachua

“I like the food at Sonny's, but don't go there often because the customer service is hit or miss. Yesterday I phoned in my order. Liz took my phone order, and made sure it was correct. Best of all she was super nice as well as efficient. Thanks Liz, I will visit Sonny's in Alachua more often if you are an example of the customer service at that location.“

“Buen fast food, no es como la comida cubana, sorry... pero resuelve, Estoy disgustada porque ya había ordenado Salami y queso anteriormente y fui hoy esperé en el drive Thru y luego me dijeron que NO servimos ese sandwich... me fui a Publix y fui a Orlando a comer en un restaurante Cubano todo sabroso y excelente servicio al cliente.“

“This is the very first restaurant a new-found friend took me to after I moved to Gainesville FL from Philadelphia PA back in 2018/2019. A very cozy and comforting atmosphere and I was so happy to connect with someone during a tumultuous time period. I felt safe here. The service was nice, kind, friendly and respectful. Just what I needed. I really appreciated this restaurant. 💗“

“Love the lasagne too“

“We were just passing through on our way home to another part of the state when we came across this club house restaurant, and we're glad we did. They were celebrating 5 years in business with a band and a buffet. We ordered from the menu and the food was good. The service was prompt and very friendly. Just a nice place. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in.“

“This Dominos seams special maybe because it's a little out of town, you still get the small town feeling for the employees. there is nice outside seating with tables and chairs. there is a nice pownshop next door. ty you also have Tesla charging stations next door with the real Tesla chargers the big ones guessing because it right off I-75. the place is super clean every night and ready for the morning. it has a new ceiling, paint and some fresh look to the place. my best friend get the buffalo chicken cheese with jalapenos on thin crust and he said it was the best he has had.

“I ordered a pepperoni pizza and received a cheese. The delivery driver just left the pizza on the porch. No knocking or calling. I didn’t know it was out there. It was cold by the time I realized it was there. I get pizza from here all the time and it’s normally amazing. this was the worst“

“I love Italian food—especially mom-and-pop restaurants. My mom and I tried Pomodoro Café for the first time, and wow… hidden gem. The calamari was perfectly cooked—light, crisp, not greasy at all. The spaghetti Bolognese was rich, smooth, and perfectly al dente… the kind of dish that makes you pause and enjoy every bite. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. And Virginia—our server—was amazing. Attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Charles is amazing“

“We stopped in for a quick visit and loved this brewery! The custom beer flights were such a fun touch, and every beer we tried was really good and super yummy. Free parking was a huge plus, and the Christmas vendors outside made the stop feel extra festive.

Inside, we were really impressed with the holiday decor — it was cozy and perfectly done. The staff was very nice and welcoming, even though it was clearly busy. Our teenager ordered mozzarella sticks that were almost forgotten, but they were slammed so we totally understood and didn’t hold it against them at all.

Overall, a great quick stop with great vibes, great beer, and friendly service. We’d definitely come back!“

“Had a great time talking all thing scify/fantasy with Kay! Beer was very good.“

“Great food & service. If we time our drive to south FL from Chicago we always stop. It’s worth the few minutes’ drive off I-75!“

“Tough night. Place was slammed and having a couple of order issues. Normally, I'd tear em apart but ... They Tried!

Poor driver had a hard time being understood when he called. Dinner was late. But the DM and GM took it personally. My food was hot and awesome as ever. I asked em not to worry about it but they still went the extra to apologize and delivered themselves. That's our home town pizza favorite. Thanks guys for making it right.“

The cleanliness is also superb and the dining area and buffet area are maintained extremely well. Even as a non-vegetarian, the menu was amazing and all the dishes from the buffet were decadent.

“We had my mother’s celebration of life yesterday. The Tower Road Piesanos catered our event. There are no words to express my gratitude to Tim and Mischa for their outstanding service. Tim worked very hard to make everything perfect - even putting up with all my requests. The food was over the top. To quote my cousin “ We want to Chris Ruth last night and this tenderloin puts them to shame. “. Thank you for making mom’s send off perfect. Amy“

“Exceptional Catering & Bar Service – Truly Unforgettable!

March 2026 bride here, and I can confidently say this was the best catering and bartending experience we could have asked for! Bobby and his team are absolutely top-notch—professional, organized, and genuinely passionate about what they do.

From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and completely stress-free, which is something every couple deserves during wedding planning. Bobby made everything easy, and his attention to detail gave us total confidence leading up to the big day.

And the food—absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully served and a huge hit with our guests. In fact, my New York family was beyond impressed with Florida catering… something I never thought I’d hear in a million years!

If you’re looking for incredible food, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares about your experience, this is the one. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Been a patron for years. Like the food, the prices and the vibe. Last night I ordered takeout. Online menu prices were not included. Upon arrival I discovered my Philly Cheese sandwich was $19.50. What is this, Ruth Chris? Good sandwich for ten. Not 20. Taking a break from Crafty.“

“I highly recommend anyone that is visiting the area and craving Pizza or Italian to try Pepperonis out. Karen and her team go above and beyond for customer satisfaction and great tasting food.“

“I have been to Sandy’s place twice now, each time a a different but absolutely amazing experience. The food is great and staff is very friendly and welcoming. The new owner and chef is amazing too! I highly recommend.“

“Very friendly and attentive waitress. Food fresh and hot, always on top of replenishing anything that gets low. Sushi is fresh and very good (just had to go back for seconds). Very happy with the experience and definitely will be back when in the area again.“

“Our second visit was just as great as first visit last month. Erin was super as usual and LT made us comfortable. They are five star all the way. We will definitely come again. A group of 10 men.“

“1st time ordering from the 39th Ave location. It only took 21 minutes from the moment I placed the order, until our Amazing delivery driver, Helen, was at our door with our order.
Order was correct. Pizza was hot. Drink was cold.
Well done!“

“I called a number trying to reach another restaurant to make an order for someone at work. I hot this restaurant instead. It was a small $12 order and I made the order about 20 minutes before they closed, but he graciously took it and it arrived fresh. He drove all the way from 43rd to the jail (across from the airport) and delivered the food to my job. THEY DO NOT HAVE A DELIVERY SERVICE 🥰. He let me know that they plan to partner with some delivery companies in the future. He could have told me no, we can't and hung up. The service provided was definitely above and beyond and the fact that it was such a small order.....Thank You!“

“Love the food and service good ! The foods made to order so takes a little longer I don’t consider it “fast food” to good to be called that ! If you haven’t tried it you should definitely worth your while !“
