50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Bradenton

“Fabulous burgers and fries. Great service. I highly recommend.“

“I made reservations for my friend's birthday and 2 other guests were joining us. Unfortunately the reservation went to another Tiramisu in another city. Therefore, no reservations showed when our party arrived. The host was icey, lacked empathy or understanding. He was extremely demeaning and haughty. Finally sat us at a table next to the kitchen which was appreciated. Our waiter was stellar and made everything feel friendly again. The food was outstanding......every course. Im a local for 48 years but the host made me feel like an idiot. Never smiled (not to anyone else arriving later). Maybe not the best first impression to offer your patrons.“

“A really nice place for breakfast. And, our server, Celene made it perfect.“

“The buffet on Saturdays is excellent!“

“Healthy gluten-free and dairy-free beverages and treats and smoothies and so much more. It’s a beautiful space to work or meet friends. I had protein chia cup and hazelnut Barr. So good and loaded with protein! The matcha mango latte was Devine. Toasted bagel topped with cashew cream cheese and micro greens. Everything is made fresh and so delicious. A new favorite!“

“We’ve been to oak and stone downtown many times, but Monday night on the rooftop was the best of our experiences here. We’ve tried to get what we could to accommodate everyone in the past.
Amanda was our server of me and 3 of and my girlfriends, and out of all of the drink, appetizer, entree, and dessert recommendations, we had the best experience we could have possibly had. I’m so glad we had her as our server because our experience was tailored to our gluten free, diabetic, and dairy free needs. It’s hard to go to a restaurant with all of us together and our dietary needs, but Amanda really helped us pick and choose what would work best for us. We really hope to see her next time we go, or else we really dont feel safe eating here without being absolutely sure our dietary needs will be taken care of. If you have very strict dietary needs due to allergies or intolerances, make sure to ask for her input on what you order. She said she’s been there a long time and knows what we can and can’t have so we were VERY confident ordering with her. We will all be back Monday night and we hope to have her as our server so that we can all order comfortably.“

“My fiancé and I had dinner here earlier this evening and it was sooo good! We had the basil fried rice with scallops for the entree and vegetable egg rolls for the appetizer. We will definitely be back! Delicious food and great atmosphere!“

“Why 25 characters? Good food!“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“Excellent food and excellent service!!“

“Most amazing German food that I’ve ever had. Servers were very friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes that the chef creates. Add in authentic German beer and this place is a must visit. Definitely worth the drive if you are anywhere nearby. I could eat here every meal as there are many options and everything tastes wonderful. Sehr gutt und wundebar!“

“First time tonight and I LOVE this place! The owners and staff were friendly and gracious. I didn't eat, but the menu looked great. I'm excited to go to more events here!“

“Me and my family have been coming here for over a year now and it's absolutely fantastic every time. Every dish is made to order and so so fresh. We typically stick to the rice bowl options but we've tried a few other things and never been disappointed. Their egg drop soup and seaweed salad are amazing appetizers as well, and all the food comes out so fast. The owner and employees always recognize us and greet us with the biggest smile and best service. We modify our bowls to exactly how we like them (encouraged by the owner!!) and the prices are very reasonable, with only a $1 upcharge for some modifications. Plenty of meat in the bowls as well, you will never leave hungry, even if you only ate the meat with no veggies or rice. Overall, amazing customer service and some of the best chinese I've had.“

“Totally worth the wait for their re-opening! Absolutely amazing food and cocktails and not as pricey as one would think! Amazing, knowledgeable staff…listen to what they say and you won’t be disappointed.“

“We’ve been looking for a good Thai restaurant and we’re so happy that we found Thai Wasabi. All the curry offerings were light, creamy and delicious. The veggie sushi was fresh and tasty. We look forward to our next visit… My husband even said we need to come here once a month!“

“We went yesterday for the last day of school and the line was crazy long. The poor guy was all by himself, but I want to say that he did an amazing job. He kept his cool, was super fast, and had a smile. The ice cream was delicious and we really enjoyed the play area for the kids.“

“Healthy food that is Delicious.“

“Happy to find this wonderful place, we have been often and every meal was delicious, good service & the specials are delicious“

“Danny Fernandez is BACK!!!! The REAL Danny's Pizzeria is BACK!!!! I was soooo happy to see Danny behind the counter when I walked in. I have been going to Danny's Pizzeria for years until the new ownership happened, ate once, twice, three times then never again. Now that Danny is back, I am sure it will be a weekly event once again. Had lunch 12/10/22, service was 100% top notch, and the food was excellent, as it once was! Thank you for coming back!“

“My favorite place for breakfast. Have been many times and will continue. We tell all of our friends they need to go!“

“5 🌟 every time we come. Staff respectfully remembers us is definitely a plus especially the way the world is spinning. Thank you for a great experience from day one!!“

“This is my all time favorite dimsum place in Sarasota! 姐姐Jodie is my favorite :) my family and I are Chinese and used to live in New York area, so we love good dimsum and this is the closest you can find in SRQ! The staff are nice and the food is amazing. The flavors are much better than any other dimsum place in the area without being overly salty. It’s the best 😍sadly, they do takeout only right now. You can eat there in the inside seating but it’s all in takeout containers. I don’t think they have restaurant internal staff but they’re still bustling and a great spot for a quick lunch! I love their Shumai (pork and shrimp dumplings) and their bbq pork steamed buns“

“Our first time here with our shy rescue dog and we were welcomed warmly. Our waitress brought over large bowl of ice water for him. The eggs Benedict and shrimp with grits dishes were presented nicely and were so delicious 😋. Will be coming back to this sweet neighborhood gem. Staff so friendly. Nice size portions. Wine was delicious too!“

“I probably would have never considered stopping here based on the outside appearance, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The service was also friendly and attentive.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back.“

“I had the Sunrise Acai bowl and it was really good. The store was clean, neat and stocked with a variety of nutritional products and the service was very polite & friendly. I'm visiting from out of town but will definitely return when in the area.“

“OFFICIALLY the best breakfast in town!!! FRESH FOOD COOKED TO PERFECTION!!! Highly highly recommend me & my husband we’re first timers to this metro diner we ordered the San Francisco Benedict’s & the breakfast burger honestly never had food that tasted so good eggs were perfect burger cooked perfect seasoned fries AMAZING avocado tomato were FRESH METRO DINER JUST GOT TWO REGULARS FOR LIFE!!! I cannot express enough to the cooks hostess and especially our waitress Payton!! (Sorry if I spelt it wrong) such a amazing waitress!!!! She needs a raise for sure!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE KEEP BEING AMAZING!!!“

“Was there tonight when my family and I witnessed an incident in the parking lot. Management was quick to rush in as well and even gave a discount on our bill bc we jumped up to assist when we saw what happened. We’ve always had great food and service there and tonight was no exception. Well done!“

“We love this place!…the food and ambience are fantastic!, plus the service is first rate!…In fact we had the same server we had last May when we were here on vacation and she remembered us!, now that we will be living down here, definitely will be eating there a lot more!…If you want great home cooked food, with Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free options, this is the place to go!!!“

“Excellent food! Awesome service 👏 The atmosphere was very nice!
Our waiter knew that I didn’t like mushrooms and took it upon himself to exclude them in my soup 🍲 I wish I would have gotten his name but he is definitely an asset to your restaurant.“

“First place we stopped on our trip was a gem! Amazing food, wonderful service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very good! Broad selection, the tuna (raw) was very good quality and fresh. The house-made kimchi was excellent!“

“My total dinning experience was amazing. The only thing they should change is the music, it's an Italian Reztsurant it should be Italian music“

“I tried SoFresh The other day for the first time and loved it. Fresh and healthy. This is my kind of eating. I’m so glad they are nearby because I will certainly be going back.“

“Amazing Tacos!! ❤️ Every type of taco you can think of trying! Shrimp/Fish are my favorites!“

“Muy linda la atención, muy amables, la comida deliciosa, los drinks exelente, servicio rápido, lugar limpio, nos encantó, gracias vamos a volver“

“Wow… first time eating here and I was super impressed. I think these tacos were actually better than the ones in Mexico. Everything was fresh and the flavors were just amazing. My GF couldn’t stop talking about how good the quesadillas were. Bravo 👏“

“I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the manager, Pho Street — Son — and I honestly don’t even know where to begin. From the moment we walked in, his kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality made us feel like more than just customers… we felt like family. You can tell when someone truly cares, and Son is that rare kind of person who pours his heart into every guest’s experience.

Two years ago, I ate here for the first time… and ever since then, I have not been able to forget it. That taste stayed with me. That feeling stayed with me. I’ve been craving it for TWO YEARS. And today, I finally made the drive all the way from Bradenton just to come back — not knowing if it would still be the same… but hoping it would be.

And somehow… it was even better.

Son recommended the pho with beef bones, and I can honestly say — hand on my heart — it is the best pho I have EVER had in my life. The broth was so clear, so pure, so rich in flavor… yet so clean, with absolutely no unpleasant smell. Every sip felt comforting, like something made with patience, pride, and love. You don’t just taste this kind of food… you feel it.

My entire family was blown away. Every single person at the table couldn’t stop talking about how incredible everything was — from the fresh, perfectly made spring rolls to the variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes. And the staff? Just as amazing. So kind, so attentive, so genuine.

I’ve had pho all over the world — big cities, hidden gems, everywhere — and I can say without hesitation: this place is in my TOP 10 of all time. That’s not something I say lightly.

This isn’t just a restaurant. This is a place that leaves a mark on you. A place you think about long after you leave. A place you’ll drive miles and miles just to experience again.

Five stars isn’t enough. I would give this place 10 stars… 100 stars if I could.

If you are anywhere near here — or even if you’re not — make the trip. Come taste what real pho is supposed to be. Come experience what true hospitality feels like.

Thank you, Son. Truly. I will never forget this.“

“On our way to Anna Maria island and we found this gem! Oh my goodness was it DELICIOUS! Service was great and the food was even better. 1000/10!“

“My wife and I came for dinner. The New Age Flatbread was AWESOME. Crust was amazing.. Shrimp Cocktail Great! and Osso Bucco was to die for! The meat fell off the bone and melted in you mouth. Kirby was our server and was just terrific.. She was friendly and very attentive.“

“Pineapple surf was soooo good today“

“We have never had Thai Cuisine before and could not be more pleased with the food. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The service was excellent, portion size and prices were great! Highly recommend 🙂!“

“Delicious food friendly attentive service ! Big menu many mouth watering choices!“

“great food and service... we will be back“

“Staff should be upfront at all times not chatting on the back and then when you call them they get mean and rude to you“

“Awesome experience for the whole family.“

“The manager KATE is AMAZING! She is the best hands on, team orientated, hospitality centered manager I have ever seen. We love chili’s and coming to this location was a real treat all because of her. <3 The food and service was excellent as always.“

“The overall service use to be amazing at this Olive Garden. We have come here several times over the years and this is the worst front staff I’ve ever experienced. I checked in and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and told them that I had people coming but instead of seating us after 25 minutes passed I came up to ask the pregnant hostess if they were waiting for my party or something because we’ve been waiting and she was like oh yeah yeah we are without so much as looking at me or apologizing for the wait. There were several of them up there that were just laughing and joking around unprofessionally and the pregnant hostess was eating up there talking with the other ladies at the podium while they ignored us. She disappeared completely for several minutes and after 30 minutes I asked a girl who showed up if we were going to be seated because my party was waiting. She said she would check because she just got there. She went to find the pregnant hostess and told her we were waiting 30 minutes and my daughter overheard her denying it. I’m just not used to that at any restaurant. If you tell me 15 minutes and it’s not busy in there then we have better be seated whether we are waiting for people to arrive or not. It put me in such a terrible mood that I wanted to leave but thankfully our waiter came right away and was amazing. He was very attentive and kind and I felt he deserved a good tip. What made me write this review was when we left there were a gaggle of women at the front with the pregnant hostess and we all noticed that they just stared at us and didn’t say the usual thank you have a good night. No one bothered to politely open the door like they have always done for us in the past. You just knew that they we’re talking bad about you. If this is what this Olive Garden restaurant is turning into then I have to stop coming. I don’t know what’s up with those women but this is their place of work not a place to gossip and bullshit about their life or talk shit about their paying customers who are there to be treated with some measure of respect and kindness when they are out with their family for dinner. I hope a manager sees this review and addresses this issue of plain rudeness. We are also not white and so obviously white people were being treated better and seated immediately. By the way, our pregnant hostess was black but for some reason thinks it’s ok to be rude to us. If this ever happens to us again, a complaint will definitely be filed to your corporate management or the BBB. I will not tolerate this behavior in front of my family.“

“Sorry there arent more pics but the dim sum started to arrive at a perfect pace.

First, service was great!

The dim sum was excellent. I especially enjoyed the soup dumplings. There were at least six others we had for a table of 4 and we all went away full.

Very glad we came here!“

“The boys working the taco Tuesday shift today around 3pm were doing a phenomenal job. I was off my game today and spilling things and making my order confusing and they handled everything so seamlessly and kindly! Super impressed by the service today!“

“Blueberry Heaven, are my favorite with protein and low fat yogert go big on Friday five dollars all... Yummy“
