29 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ponte Vedra Beach

“Solid BBQ with a very nice bar. Can be a little loud, but also is cozy. Friendly staff and great service.“

“As the Celebrations Director of Discovery Villages of Deerwood, i am always looking for good places to take My Residents for their Lunch Outs. M Shack at Town Center was top notch...in every way. From helping each one with their order to Doggy Bags To-go. We had 9 guest visiting. The shake machine was down initially but as soon as it was up, a staff member made sure everyone got their order in and delivered. One gentleman sat at the bar with his beer and the bartender. Wine was enjoyed with the Porta Bello and oh my the loaded tater tots! Burgers were cooked to perfection. And trust me...I work with a very picky crowd! Above all... Royce was such a gentleman and extremely attentive to all of my sweet people. They all raved about our visit all the way home. MShack of Town Center will definitely be at the top of our list! ~ Diana“

“Excellent food! Super friendly staff! 5 starts in every way!!!“

“Everything on the menu is amazing!“

“Both the owner (Paul) and our server (Kyah) were friendly and very personable. The food was outstanding. My husband has had Sherpards pie in many Irish Pubs and he said this was the best ever. The pastry puff makes it a culinary delight. I had a Ruben and it was excellent. We highly recommend it and will be repeat customers next time we are in Florida.“

“Went last night for dinner and everything was outstanding. This is a true Mom and Pop + family business and they were very gracious to have us for the evening. From the Miso Soup, The Chicken Yakitori, the myriad of Handcrafted Sushi Rolls we selected as well as the Stir Fried Rice & Udon Noodles it was all so fresh and flavorful. Chef Kevin runs the show and he will go out of his way to get to know you by name. A true hidden gem in the Shops of St. John’s Oaks. Will be back soon! 👍“

“Hands down the absolute best food in Jacksonville, FL“

“The best restaurant in Ponte Vedra for breakfast, the service is excellent and the food is exceptional!!“

“I'm in heaven! I've never been so happy after eating food. I just tasted the most delicious spinach spiral, displayed in the case, at Tony's pizza. I love their Margarita pizza, but the spinach spiral with dough filled with mozzarella and maybe ricotta and lots of garlic and oil is over the top! This is the best kept secret in Ponte Vedra. Tony's has the real Italian flavor I remember from NY many years ago.“

“Marni is incredible! We typically come twice a week hoping to get Marni. She makes us feel at home, and is an excellent bartender. We always have the BEST experience and time!“

“We each got a lunch special. I got an eel and cucumber roll and tuna roll. 2 rolls for $10.50. My lunch partner got the Thai Drunken Noodles Shrimp. I'd order everything order everything again. I prefer trying new things. Spice of life is in the food I chose to eat.“

“Excellent food. Cooked perfectly. Great staff. Quick service and a tee box outside to hit golf balls onto an island in the water $1 per ball for charity. So much fun. Plenty of tvs to watch games including outdoors. And firepits as well. Great place“

“I love finding hidden gems, and Jonis Pizza was exactly that.

Susan and I were heading to one of our favorite restaurants, Fionn MacCool's, when we noticed Jonis Pizza tucked away in the same shopping center. Somehow, despite being in the area many times, we had never stopped in. That changed this week, and I am glad it did.

The restaurant is cozy, family-owned, and immediately feels welcoming. The aroma of garlic and fresh Italian cooking hits you as soon as you walk through the door. We started with the Garlic Cheese Bread, which was perfectly toasted and loaded with flavor. We also enjoyed the Fresh Mozzarella Appetizer, featuring fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and pesto that allowed the ingredients to shine.

As someone who grew up in a large Italian family in New York, I take Italian food seriously. When I saw Stuffed Shells on the menu, I knew exactly what I was ordering.

What happened next surprised me.

The Stuffed Shells at Jonis Pizza earned our prestigious Best of the Best Award. The shells were filled with a rich blend of cheeses and topped with a perfectly balanced sauce. The waitress explained that her mother makes them from scratch, and it showed. The dish immediately brought back memories of a favorite Italian restaurant from my childhood in the Bronx. For decades, no stuffed shells had matched those memories. Jonis Pizza finally did.

Susan ordered the Chicken Francese, and it was equally impressive. Tender chicken, perfectly prepared angel hair pasta, and plenty of flavorful lemon sauce made this a standout entrée.

The service was warm, friendly, and personal. You can tell this is a restaurant that takes pride in both its food and its customers.

If you are looking for authentic Italian food, a family-owned restaurant, date-night dining, or simply some of the best homemade Italian comfort food in the area, put Jonis Pizza on your list.
