9 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Altoona

“It was good. Great service.“

“My husband and I were in Altoona to get pedicures at our favorite salon spa Signatures.

While we were getting our pedicures we were talking about where we could go and eat some delicious Chinese and Altoona and we asked the people that were doing our pedicures where they would recommend.

The very first thing out of both of their mouths was to go to Thai Basil which was just down the street from the salon.

We looked it up. Got in the car. Mapped our way there and as soon as we got there we were greeted very nicely and quickly by the girl at the front desk.

We got seated and before we even got sat down, our waitress was at our table asking us what we would like to drink and bringing us the menus.

She returned with our drinks and took our order for our appetizers and while we were looking at the menus to figure out what we wanted for our entrees she brought our appetizers out.

We had the fried wontons and the fried potstickers and my husband and I both decided that they were some of the best ones that we have ever had and we have traveled many many places and had many different options.

The waitress was right on point coming back and checking on us regularly. She had a smile every time. Very very kind, very efficient and always brought what we asked. Came back to refill our drinks. She was just an excellent waitress.

I had the Mongolian beef and the beef was some of the most tender beef that I have ever had in a Chinese food dish before and my husband had the sesame chicken which was very perfectly crispy and the best sauce ever.

My husband also had a Des Moines roll that was sushi. I can tell you that the serving size is there are double wherever you're going to get them and the price is about half.

The restaurant was also very clean. It smelled good in there. Everything was set up nice. It had good Decor. I would not hesitate for a minute to go back to this place.

Highly highly recommend going here. You would not be disappointed“

“Took one of my boys over to eat lunch today. We want to give our waiter/bartender “Jeff” a big high five. We were seated right away, our order came out in a timely matter, food all tasted great. Jeff took great care of us. Thank you, we will for sure come back and request to sit in the bar area!“

“Food came fast and was delicious 😋! Service was friendly and attentive! Highly recommend!“

“I am from Colorado and I first visited Jethro’s on Drake University campus back in 2006. My son was attending college there, and we just had to try Jethro’s BBQ. We have been hooked on it since… This place not only creates amazing BBQ, but they also are very customer focused. I recently visited my brother-in-law in Osage, IA and had the privilege of interfacing with multiple AMAZING customer focused Jethro Employees. The first was Fernando Lara. I developed a paprika allergy within the last two years, and so I contacted Fernando who took the time to research their entire menu to alert me ahead of my visit of the items that contain paprika. The second contact was actually our outstanding server, Tara, at their Ankeny, IA location. Tara took care of my entire crew (there were 8 of us…). Finally, I had the BEST follow-up experience with Sarah Huffman in Corporate Operations. Her genuine niceness and willingness to assist me was unmatched. Thanks Sarah, you have even more solidified my loyalty to Jethro’s …“

“The restaurant had wonderful ambience, not too dark and night to bright. I ordered the Prime Rib special. The Prime Rib was cooked just as I requested and the broccoli and baked potato were delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly.“

“The gal that took my to-go order was very nice and friendly, so 5 star customer service. The restaurant is clean and there is plenty of seating. And the chef did a FANTASTIC job in preparing and cooking the food. Their flatbread pizzas were so good! Give them a try if you haven't had their food yet.“

“I go every week for the fish tacos. I love that they use cabbage instead of lettuce. Makes the taco taste AHHHH-maxing! Plus they are located in proximity to The Amusement park. Quick trot there & back to enjoy!“

“Music BINGO night is in full swing, and nothing beats 90’s country—always has been, always will be! So many unforgettable hits. Plus, the bartender is serving up drinks like a pro!“
