50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Rex

“Well… We were looking for a to-go meal and wanted something close by. As our search went, we came across this Irish Pub, as the name it was under. Looked at the menu and wife saw Pork chops, and some other sides that sounded like a winner.

So, I went to this place, located in Rex, at the Creekside Village shopping center, next to Food Depot.

Turns out that the name was changed to Urban Pub Bar and Grill. I remember seeing it once before and the place was packed in the evening hours. Parking isn’t an issue due to the shopping center lot, so no worries there.

Went in and it is a decent size place. The menu has changed just a bit since it was bought by another party. Still though, we could get most of what I saw of the menu online. Opted for the fried pork chop meal, added a side of fried okra, cabbage, greens and mac n cheese. It comes with 2 sides already with the meal. That was the cabbage and greens. Also added an extra chop too, it comes with just one.

The chops were seasoned just right, and the crunch was tops, and still moist inside. Someone knows how to cook back in that kitchen… The greens were spicy and excellent, and the cabbage was on point too. There was a piece of smoked meat in it and it was tasty… Then the mac n cheese, it was creamy and had a slight crust on top, tasted a few types of cheese in it, I thought one was Smoked Gouda, though I didn’t ask. The okra was also fried just right, crunchy and tender. Overall, it was a hit.

Lunch specials are advertised in the bar but was told that one or more may change soon.

It has a Stage, and pool table area (maybe 4 total), as well as some digital slots in the same area. A juke box too.

A main bar as you enter and plenty of seating. The have bands and Karaoke on certain days too. Car shows they host as well.

I went during the afternoon, so it wasn’t busy at all, but nights seem to be the party time. If the food is this good, then I can be assured that the rest of the menu items are more likely to be a hit.

We’ll be back for those Ribs, wings and fish meals I’ve been peepin…

Parking: Located in a shopping center, plenty of spaces.“

“This is the best bar on the southside. Manny is the best bartender in my opinion. He always acknowledges you when you come in and makes sure you have a good time. Nick and a few other staff also are good about stepping in to help out it make's your experience great. This bar gives you that home away from home vibe most of us in our 30s look for.“

“Listen Linda, I deserved this you hear me! Well, ok I WANTED this! I haven't been to this place since pre-pre-covid. And actually I used to order from Uber eats and you know that used to kind of hike up the price. But I decided as I was passing through hapeville the other day that this is what I wanted and baby it did not disappoint! Now for some of you newbies or new to this spot? It's a small little space, but don't let it fool you! Now personally I'm going to recommend you get the spring and the rice mix on the bottom. Then throw those onions, cucumber,crab meat, spicy tuna and shrimp on there! Then add ya toppings like that crunchy roll the jalapenos the cucumbers okay just throw the whole daggone kitchen sink in there okay?‼️😂 You really can't go wrong and get all three of the sauces! My Lord it was soooooo good! It really hit the spot cause my tongue had started numbing out on flavors and this brought them right back! Check them out and tell them B4 sent you! 🫵🏽“

He literally is the best server we have ever had at any establishment thus far . Thank y’all for the 5 star ⭐️ service and hang onto John as long as ya can haha ! we definitely will be back .“

“Everything was amazing. The food, the service and and overall vibes. I took my mom and we got French toast and avocado toast. The French toast was delicious sweet without being overwhelming (the berry compote was my favorite part). The avocado toast was absolutely delicious from the toast to the actual avocados. Out server Laura did an amazing job and was running her butt off while still taking such good care of us. Highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love Tony’s at Brentwood in Stockbridge, GA! The fact that they’re Black-owned and operated by New Yorkers makes the experience even more special.

If you're looking for real New York-style pizza with great vibes and even better food, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

Everything was wonderful. The service was amazing. Everyone was so friendly. Would definitely recommend. If your ever in or near Jonesboro, GA.“

“Had the most incredible experience at Red Rice Restaurant here in Atlanta. The food was amazing, but what made it unforgettable was meeting the owner — a fellow New Yorker with the most beautiful spirit. We instantly bonded over our shared roots, entrepreneurship, growth, and wanting more for ourselves.

She shared a bit of her journey with us — how COVID led her into the world of cooking, and how it became her passion. Watching her move through the restaurant laughing with customers, joking with her kids, and genuinely loving what she does was truly inspiring. The whole space feels like love, family, and purpose.

As a pescatarian, I was SO happy with the options — I enjoyed the salmon, fried shrimp, baked mac & cheese, garlic string beans, and of course their signature red rice (comes with every meal and is so good). And that’s just a small piece of the menu!

10/10 recommend. If you’re in the area, go. If you’re visiting Atlanta, make sure you stop by. You will not be disappointed. ❤️✨“

“The food is always hot and fresh. Simple walk thru and select. Very friendly and fresh food.“

“Excellent food! Very nice, clean atmosphere. Good service.“

“The best food I every tasted“

“Great food, large amounts, excellent prices, and exceptional customer service. I saw a large crowd come in 15 minutes before closing, and they treated them and made their food fresh, just as though the restaurant had just opened. Finding a restaurant like that is hard to come by nowadays. I will definitely continue to recommend this diner to any and everyone.“

“Sarah 'put her foot" in every dish. Fried chicken and pork chops were spectacular. Had black-eyed peas, Collard greens, green beans, candied Yams and fried Okra. No frozen veggies here! All fresh and delicious. Rolls and Cornbread muffins were special, too. ❤️ this place!“

“The Italian Sub was literally the best sandwich I have ever eaten. It was such a large portion, I had enough for the next day. The cheesecake was to die for!!!! I would highly recommend this restaurant.“
