50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ocklawaha

“Amazing food choices and awesome customer service highly recommend this place“

“Best pizza in the area and great antipasto too. Only the physical atmosphere left some to be desired.“

“Went there on 4/12/2026. Had a fish sandwich platter. It was very good and fresh. Had key lime pie for dessert that was pretty good. The waitress by contrast, had a bad attitude and gave my friend incorrect change. I may not return to this place just because of the attitude. There is another restaurant on the other side of the lake with better food and better servers.“

“Had an amazing experience at Eaton's Beach Sandbar & Grill! The beachfront setting and lake views from the large outdoor deck create the perfect relaxed vibe. The food was absolutely delicious—the Louisiana-style dishes were flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. We also really enjoyed the fantastic live music, which made the whole atmosphere even better. Great service, friendly staff, and refreshing drinks. Easily a 5-star spot, and I can’t wait to visit again whenever I'm in town!“

“Dined at Legacy April 30. Party of 7. Eric was our server. Eric was over the top terrific. Very attentive and very personable. Eric is a definite asset to this restaurant. Thank you Eric. We will return and request you.“

“Absolutely love this place! The food and service is fantastic.“

“We gave our name and were told, “30 minutes.” After one hour checked and were told, “7 ahead of you.” After one hour and 15 minutes were told, “2 ahead of you.” After watching 4 go ahead of us checked again. Manager said, “ thousands are checking in every day. We’re doing what we can.” After one hour and 45 minutes, and harassment from us, we were finally seated. Very poor experience.“

“Great place to have a fantastic breakfast“

“went for dinner a week or two ago. hubby had the turkey dinner and I had the fish. Both were delicious!“

“Went for lunch here yesterday. The portions were big. I got the Peppa Pig and it was ahhhhmazing! The fried banana peppers on it were the best part of an already outstanding sandwich. The fries were fresh, and there were plenty. We got fried pickles as an appetizer and they were piping hot and the oil they were fried in tasted clean, not old or burnt. The fried okra is also spot on. I definitely recommend eating here. It was clean, and the service was good.“

“Had breakfast at Big Man’s this morning and it was fantastic. My wife and I highly recommend it. Go with the Country omelette it was great.“

“I ordered a fillet Tender Loin Oscar it was tough, had to chew on it for awhile, everything else was ok. Wife had steak tacos, same thing, tough to chew. I guess if you order something else, your properly ok.“

“Thank you Denny's for the free breakfast for Veterans Day. The food was so good and came to the table hot. Our server, Erika was outstanding! She was so sweet, and helpful and kept checking on us and filling up my husband's coffee. We weren't expecting this because of how crowded it was but Erika handled everything with ease. She is the best server we have ever had since moving here. You are lucky to have such a caring employee.“

“After golf, 4 of us stopped by, sat at bar. Ricki took wonderful care of us, we had 2 meat loaf meals, 1 fish and chips, and a chicken rice bowl. All were delicious. Place was packed when we left, I would have to say mostly local folks who know a good place. One of our favorite places.“

“Thanks to Shauna for making our morning with an excellent service!“

“Me and my wife had an awesome experience last night ! The food was great we both had the fish and chips and the baklava was to die for ! Our waitress name was Jessica she delivered excellent service . We had a wonderful time we will definitely be back !“

“I love eating here! Had a strawberry basil spritz cocktail 🍸 and the GOAT burger with hot honey 🍯 TO DIE FOR!!!

The game was on in the background and we even played a rousing game of trivia. Will be back next week.“

“Always excellent Service, Food and Price.\nHad the eggs and hash with potatoes and whole wheat toast along with a hit cup of tea.\nDon't know where these reviewers with the negative reviews go for their breakfasts because I, along with hundreds of others, enjoy the fantastic breakfasts at Billy's Cafe“

“It was our first time at Sammy Joe's. We tried their Sammy's pizza tonight and absolutely delicious. Fluffy crust with a special seasoning. Just perfect 👌 My toddler also approved the pizza. Will be going back to try other things in the menu.“

“What a wonderful hidden gem in Belleview. You would be surprised that a place as nice as this could come from this town but be pleasantly surprised. The breakfast menu is limited and at first I thought that would be an issue but no- what they do have is amazing! Not always do they have tiramisu but if they do while you are there- be sure to get it! The inside dining atmosphere is quite an eyefull. You will feel like your eating inside of a thrift shop. So much chaos but in a fun way. Be sure to stop by this spot in Belleview - you will not regret it!

Parking: Parking is available. There is no valet service offered here if a man named "Greg" offers to park your car for you- Do not trust him!“

“Nichole, our server, was outstanding as usual. In fact, she’s the best I’ve seen in the last decade. She works hard. She’s very efficient and sharp as a tack. Whatever you are paying her is not enough. She is also a lot of fun for a bunch of old crazy golfers like us. She can turn a bad day of golf into a fun time at lunch. Darrell’s is really good, too.“

“5+ stars to the City Fire restaurant and the amazing HOPE for a fantastic experience and great food. Our 14 year old Akita Wishy was warmly greeted and invited to join us at one of the outdoor patio tables. Hope was SO great with Wishy -- lots of water refills -- and finding out Hope loves dogs and that City Fire is so dog friendly just made our visit that much better. Oh and the French Dip and Burger we ordered were great -- and the Bourbon Sour -- perfect! We'll bring Wishy back for more fun soon -- and we'll be requesting one of Hope's tables for sure!“

“Great people at Bravo, we are always more than satisfied with everything they serve. I’m a New York Pizza guy and find Bravo to be close to some of my favorites back home. The complementary Garlic Knots with my first draft beer the best!!“

“We have been coming here since they opened. And have been very happy. Tonight we ordered our normal number 23., we were told it will be an extra 50 cents to make it a little spicier cooked in. I'm not quibbleing about the 50 cents, but it's never been done before. Just saying.“

“My mom introduced me to this cafeteria while I was visiting her from NYC. I had the Oxtail dish with rice and beans and maduros… and it was AMAZING!! It was so good, I had to go back at least one more time to have the oxtail before leaving Florida. Next time I come back to visit, I would love to try the other dishes (they all look so delicious). I love oxtail, tho… and I have to admit that this is one of the best oxtail dishes that I’ve had. As far as the atmosphere of the cafeteria, I found it to be clean and bright while surrounded by quaint and cute decor that made me feel comfortable and relaxed while having my meal. I had such a great experience that I look forward to visiting Villa Pinar again the next time I visit my mom!“

“The restaurant itself was decently clean and nice and the staff was very friendly and the food was absolutely amazing! Im from ny and just recently moved here and ive had my fair share of chinese food and they definitely just topped the list! Ill for sure be saving this as a favorite cause I will definitely be back for more!“

“Good Breakfast and going for lunch tomorrow“

“🥰 The food and the service were excellent!!!“

“Very good service and food!“

“Excellent steakhouse! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The portions are very generous, so you definitely get your money’s worth. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and professional from beginning to end. Great food, large portions, and an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!“

“Trinity waits on us every Sunday. She knows what we want when we come in but always takes time to greet us and make sure we still want our usual orders. She is a great server!“

“First time we went in to eat a pizza with our favorite topping caramelized onion and roasted red pepper 🌶️ it was absolutely amazing 💯 the next two times we went in and ordered it to go with the same toppings, but they do not load up on the toppings that you purchase if you’re taking it out and the crust is softer, I guess it depends on who is making them that day. Love the service though and decor 👍 just some advice when somebody orders toppings be a little bit more generous and make sure each piece of pizza has them on!“

“Always excellent food ,great atmosphere , timely and friendly service“

“Yes food and drin were perfect“

“This was my family's first time at Takis. The food was excellent and our server name Christine was really awesome we will be back.“

“So yummy ! Authentic food!“

“Best dang breakfast I've had in a long long time, Their Bacon is delicious...We will be back...“

“If you’re looking for outstanding Japanese cuisine in The Villages, VKI Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar absolutely delivers. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming and lively, perfect for both a fun night out or a relaxed dinner. The hibachi experience is entertaining and engaging, with chefs who know how to put on a great show while cooking everything to perfection. The food is where VKI really shines.

“your employee Tabitha made our evening with great service“

“My wife was in Advent for five days, she insisted I get some supper each night. I went to the Darrell’s on Pine Ave, James was cooking and did a fantastic job. Different waitress each night, all friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The meal and good service helped getting past some difficult times.“

“This is the only place I’ll eat at. Portions are very generous, food is always fresh. The couple that owns/runs the place are really nice and always happy to see us. We normally order the QT size portions and they are amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this place. My family and I will always eat here.“

“We won a gift certificate from the Fraternal Order of Eagles for The Dugout. it was a wonderful dining experience. we will go back.“

“Me and My Husband have lived in the area and worked at local restaurants in the area for the past 20 years. It is the only late night spot open so we used to go all the time but we had given up after time and again The service and food was disgusting. We even went there with my family one night to dine in and this was in December. There was a horrible smell coming from behind our booth long story short there was food and a valentines menu proving that they never clean the place. The place was truly disgusting as was the service and food. Like I said earlier, I work in the area as a bartender so a lot of people have been telling me that it was taken over by new management and the improvement was unbelievable so tonight we decided to get to go order after I got off of work.
When I walked in, I was so impressed with how much they have cleaned this place and redone things. It smelled good. I even took a peek behind the booth and there was nothing behind any of the booths. I was greeted right away by at least three employees and my to go food was ready in 15 minutes. We got home and I have to say that was the best food I have ever had from any Applebee’s. So whoever the new management is that took over this place is really doing a good job. We were so impressed. We will be back.“

“I came in last Wednesday evening (4/1). I arrived shortly after the space launch. Came in and grabbed a seat at the bar. James immediately greeted me and got me a cold beer. I ordered the jambalaya and some grilled wings. Both were extremely good! One thing I noticed was that James never stopped. He constantly moving and taking care of other guests. He seemed to know most of the guests by name. I thought he did an excellent job and truly is an asset to your restaurant. Thanks for a great meal. I’ll be back next time in town. Jackson“
