11 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Dade City

“I was amazed at how delicious the food was! Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Garden fresh vegetables. Will definitely be back!“

“We love the Sunday brunch!“

“Excellent food, friendly atmosphere and a large variety of items Something for everyone“

“We decided to celebrate our 5-year anniversary at Kafe Kokopelli, and honestly, it felt like the universe knew we were up for a (romantic) good time and a (delicious) food coma. Nestled in a lovingly restored 1916 Ford Motor Company building — yes, originally a Model-T sales and service center — this place has more history than my dad’s vinyl collection. 

From the moment we walked in, we knew this wasn’t your average dinner date — it was a full experience.

But the real MVP of the night? Our server — Boyce. If there were a Nobel Prize for Restaurant Service, Boyce would have at least three by now. Attentive? Absolutely. Informative? Like a walking foodie Wikipedia. Friendly? As if he’d been our neighbor for years. Funny? Let’s say we laughed more in those two hours than we have at most family reunions (without the awkward small talk). And nice? If niceness was a Michelin star, he’d have five.

Before our food even arrived, Boyce casually weaved in the history of the building — “That brick? Probably saw a Model-T roll out of here once.” — making us feel cultured and slightly like we should be wearing berets. 

The Food

Let’s talk food — the veal Parmesan deserves its own standing ovation. Tender, perfectly sauced, and so good it almost made me temporarily forget I was on a date with my wife (don’t worry, I recovered). And the Cajun pasta? It had just enough spice to make us question our life choices in the best way possible. Rumor has it if you listen closely, you can hear angels twirling their forks.

Dessert: The Bananas Foster Show

Just when we thought we’d peaked, Boyce brought the tableside bananas foster. Watching him work that flaming dessert like he was hosting his own cooking show — flame here, flipped there — was a highlight of the evening. Forget fireworks — Boyce’s dessert theatrics was the real light show. (And it tasted amazing, too.)

In short, if you want great food, a charming atmosphere, and a server who could probably negotiate world peace while pouring wine — go here.“

“the bbq was the best I have had in a very long time..and I love the Bubbaques Moonshine spicy vinegar sauce..“

“I randomly picked Smitty’s to meet my two cousins and their husbands so we each only had to drive about an hour and a half to get there. We were all pleasantly surprised how quickly the food came and it was so delicious too! We ordered biscuits and gravy with hash browns, an egg sandwich with bacon, a ham & cheese omelette. Our server was funny and made us feel right at home. We will be back for another cousins meet-up.“

“Their food is the best!“

“Just made and received my first online delivery order from Domino's in Dade City. Food was delicious (2 heated sandwiches, 2 drinks and 2 desserts). Delivery service was quick. Very satisfied.“

“there was five of us. we ate inside and loved it. really really good. nice people“

“I love this IHOP. We frequently eat here. The staff know us by name and are always friendly even when it’s super busy. We eat breakfast here at 5x a week. Most times our drinks are on the table before we even walk in the door (they know our car!). Whitney, Tiffany, Noah, Leah (the singer), Diana, & Shaun are all great servers. The food is always delicious and fresh especially when Fernando, Tony, & Ron are cooking. And when Amanda’s helping the servers get their food out she rocks! If there’s ever an issue all we have to do is tell our server and they do everything they can to fix it. Love you guys! LuvM&C“

“On a very busy Friday night I placed a take out order and got my wings in 20 minutes, but they were incorrectly made. The manager came right over and fixed the problem immediately and I got my new wings only had to wait a few more minutes and they were delicious. Great customer service thank u“
