50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Meridian

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tonight my husband and I, along with two of our friends, had our date nights here. We each had our own tables. During dinner my friends texted me saying, “This is one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We love this place and our waiter!”

Now onto our food — I ordered the calamari, and it was beautifully fried, crisp, and golden. It came with two sauces: the spicy one was divine, and the marinara gravy was absolutely fabulous. As an Italian New Yorker, I haven’t found gravy that good since moving here. It was a true taste of home.

I also ordered the linguine with clam sauce. The flavor was outstanding — juicy, briny, full of depth. The clam broth was so delicious my waiter even brought me a soup spoon because I couldn’t stop drinking it! The Caesar salad had the best homemade dressing — fresh and full of flavor.

Tonight was one of the best nights of my life. Truly spectacular. ✨

We wanna thank the manager Bryce, for this perfect night“

“By far the best Indian food in the Treasure Valley! All food (except naan) is GLUTEN free and delicious. Special thanks to the staff as they had just closed for lunch break but still let us come in for a to go order. We will definitely be back!“

“My guy Dj was great at giving food recommendations, was the first time eating here and the food came out quick, tasted good, and had great customer service!

If you’re reading this… YOU GOTTA GIVE THIS PLACE A SHOT AND DJ WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!“

“Just went to Kona again today 7/27/22, this place is awesome- they have best gluten free items. my favorite salads- so YUM Ian ( our server) was superb everytime i am in Meridian i come to Kona“

“A hidden treasure, excellent baked empanadas with a delicious and wide range of fillings. Nice wine and beer selection too. The atmosphere is relaxed and service excellent. Highly recommended and hope to see them prosper. Since the Kiwi shake and bake shut, I’ve felt a little lost.. hopefully we can watch rugby here too!“

“I love this place! Highly recommend you will NOT be disappointed.“

“40th birthday lunch and first time here. It DID not disappoint. Joel was our server and he explained the process, recommended the best drink, was attentive and helpful every step of the way. The ambiance was perfect and it was clean throughout. Prices are comparable to most KBBQ places. Get the lychee drink!“

“We enjoyed the small restaurant atmosphere where one can get to know the chefs (Mike, included). Food was excellent…have the Tempura green beans and then the Brutus Salad is excellent with chicken or salmon. The Atlantic salmon was grilled to perfection (medium with delicately medium seasoned saffron rice). Try the saffron infused Creme Brulet for dessert and enjoy live Jazz and after-dinner drinks at the Sidecar. However, make reservations if you want a table for dinner and after-dinner entertainment…take out available.“

“Great Breakfast choices! Delicious food.. Small restaurant but cozy. Worth the 30min. wait to be seated.“

“Everything on the menu! Service is always great and the food is spot on and consistent!“

“Brian is the best!!! We dine at the Yard House often and are always happy but today took the cake. Brian kept our drinks full with a smile on his face. Not an easy feat since I drink water like it's going out of style. He even noticed my husband's order and offered a suggestion for next time that we will absolutely be back for. We really couldn't ask for a better person to help us enjoy a night without the kids!“

“I would highly recommend Epi's Basque Restaurant. Making reservations, easy. Food FANTASTIC! Service EXCELLANT! My family and I highly recommend this family-owned Idaho business.“

“First time at Terri's Cafe. Food was great with general amounts, service was spot on and our waitress (Lyalka) was enjoyable.“

“Lucky Fins Seafood Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently revisited Lucky Fins in Meridian. In the past, I’ve been to the original location, which is the one in Meridian, as well as the one in downtown Boise, which has since closed. There is also a location in Greeley, Colorado. We started with an appetizer of Kickin’ Shrimp ($15) - Crispy shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy honey-chipotle sauce, served with a side of ranch and a lime wedge. Similar to Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp, but uniquely its own, this isn’t excellent appetizer! If you like spicy shrimp, it’s worth visiting for this dish alone. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos ($15) - Tempura battered and fried Arctic cod with shredded cabbage, chipotle aïoli, pickled onions, cojita, and micro cilantro. Served with cilantro lime rice, lime wedges, and choice of salsa. The fish tacos were bland and flavorless. I didn’t realize until I started to write this review that they came with a choice of salsa, but I don’t think that would’ve made much of a difference. I liked the cilantro lime rice. MW ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon ($29) - Center cut, grilled Arctic salmon on Northwest Cedar plank, seasoned with Rocky Mountain meat and fish rub, loaded smashers, grilled asparagus, charred lemon. MW liked the salmon dish, but would opt for something a little more interesting next time. For dessert, we shared Bourbon Bread Pudding, which came topped with ice cream ($10). It was good. The ambience and service were excellent!“

“All around great place! Amazing food! Amazing staff! So friendly! Great prices! The Cuban grilled cheese is amazing, banana bread is amazing, soups are amazing! Best of all is it’s mostly gluten free. Which works for me!😁 definitely will be coming back! Hands down 10/10! If you haven’t been there you need to try it! What a hidden gem!“

“Been four times in the past two months since discovering the place. Food is fantastic.... service is hit or miss. Just left after waiting five/six minutes without acknowledgement by any staff after being seated, watched others getting served almost immediately after being seated. Please work on this.“

“I have been here with my kiddos but we are from out of town, so I had to return with my entire family to make another great experience & to make great memories! Highly recommend best experience & best pizza I have ever ate.“

“My Family visited Proper Pizza for the 1st time tonight. The best thin crust pizza in the valley. The man who served us was so friendly and nice. We will be back!“

“We went in for lunch today I ordered chicken fried steak and eggs,my husband had a Ruben sandwich his came to him raw and my chicken fried steak was very greasy and the gravy was very runny, we have been there before and it was OK, but this time it was horrible we told the server how my husband's sandwich was raw and showed it to her she never tried to fix it for us to make it right or offer to take at least a percentage off our bill, we won't be going back...!“

“My husband and I stopped by for our first visit tonight, and we were absolutely blown away, not just by the incredible food, but by the exceptional service as well. The cocktails are crafted with fresh fruit, and every dish is made from scratch in-house, which you can truly taste in every bite. The staff’s warmth and hospitality made the entire experience feel so welcoming and genuine. We can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be adding it to our list of favorites. And of course, Jake the golden adds the perfect touch of charm, a fluffy, friendly reason to swing by!“

“We are traveling from out of state and because we noticed how well these guys appreciate their Servers and how amazing the food looked in the reviews we decided to stop for some french toast and biscuits & gravy. We were so happy with our meals, they were absolutely delicious! Wish we could take y’all home with us!
Highly recommend!!“

“It was our second visit. Once again, the service was great. Thank You Alyssa! Chicken tortilla soup was good. Steak fajitas were great! Atmosphere brings a sense of craftsmanship with stained glass lighting fixtures and intricate iron work. We will be back every time we are in town:)“

“it was so good. pleasant atmosphere“

“Celebrating my mom's 70th birthday surrounded by family today was truly special. Instead of cooking, we chose to support a local caterer so we went with Goodwood and it was an excellent choice!

From our initial inquiry to the delivery, their service was top-notch. We indulged in: Spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer, Smoked prime rib and sweet chicken. Smashed potatoes with gravy, Caesar salad, and buttery rolls

Reasonably priced and more than enough food for our family gathering! Big thanks to Goodwood BBQ for helping us create beautiful memoriesl“

“Yummy, friendly Italian food. Highly recommended.“

“Came in on a Friday night at 8 PM and the place was packed. The service was quick and nice. The shrimp wontons were amazing. I think I could eat 1 million of them in one sitting. I got the creamy chicken Ramen and it was delicious overall and amazing Ramen restaurant in Meridian, Idaho!“

“Best Indian food in town!“

“We had a family dinner tonight celebrating 2 birthdays. It was very busy as usual but wanted to comment on our waitress Aliza. She was very attentive and gave great service even with a lot of large groups. This was especially deserving of recognition as she's is a new server. Thank you for taking care of us!“

“Favorite Pizza in the Valley“

“So many sushi I havent tried before but all so good! I recommended a 1000th percent go here. And everyone was so nice“

“amazing burgers! the trailer trash is an absolute must have along with incredible service“

“I can tell oriana cooked the food it was so good. 5 stars, 10/10 would do it again“

“The best! We had the sweet chili chicken and spring rolls.“

“Papa Murphy’s is a fantastic choice for take-and-bake pizza, and it’s become a go-to spot for us. The convenience is unbeatable—you can walk in, pick up a freshly made pizza, and bring it home to bake when you’re ready. It’s perfect for busy nights or when you want something quick without sacrificing quality.

The pizza itself is consistently delicious. They have a great variety of options, from classic favorites to more creative combinations, so there’s something for everyone. The ingredients are fresh, and you can taste the difference in every bite. We especially love the fact that you can customize your pizza just how you like it. Plus, the cheesy bread and cookie dough are fun add-ons that make it feel like a real treat at home.

Baking it at home is easy, and it always comes out piping hot and perfectly done. It’s a lot fresher than traditional takeout, and the kitchen fills with that amazing pizza smell, which makes the whole experience even better.

We go to Papa Murphy’s a lot because it’s just so convenient, and the quality never disappoints. It’s also budget-friendly for the whole family, especially considering the portion sizes. For a takeout pizza place, Papa Murphy’s really does a great job. If you haven’t tried it, it’s definitely worth a visit!“

“Let me begin with a disclaimer: I have lived a full life. I have kissed mouths that were made of sin and stardust. I’ve tasted truffle risottos in overpriced restaurants where the waiter looked down on me for asking for more bread. But none—none—of those experiences compare to what happened between me and Chili’s Baby Back Ribs. First bite? Instant goosebumps. I closed my eyes and saw my ancestors nodding in approval. The meat is so tender it practically slides off the bone like it’s trying to seduce you. And the sauce—oh God, the sauce—is like a smoky, sweet whisper in your ear saying, “You’re never going back to dry chicken breasts again, baby.” I was knee deep in bbq sauce. Let’s address the elephant in the Chili’s dining room: Yes. The Office. Yes. “🎵 I want my baby-back, baby-back, baby-back…” was sung. Yes. I wept a little imagining Kevin Malone wiping his mouth and going back for more. This isn’t just a meme—it’s prophecy fulfilled. This wasn’t dinner. This was foreplay. This was therapy. This was my Roman Empire. If loving these ribs is wrong, I don’t want to be right. And if this is the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth (and trust me, the competition was stiff), then so be it. My mouth has spoken. And it speaks only the gospel of Chili’s. Amen. Pass the wet wipes.“

“As are party of 9 we ordered a lot of the menu and it was all great. I had the prawn linguine, awesome!
The drinks were very good and the service was very polite and timely.
This is definatly a place to frequent. I was visiting with family and forget to get food photos.“

“I noticed they had a breakfast menu that looked good. I will try it next time.“

“Wonderful service, great food! We tried for the first time last week and were very pleased! The food was delicious, our server was very nice and took great care of us and even gave us a free dessert since it was our first visit. We will definitely go back again! Highly recommend!“

“Took our parents to dinner here as they had not been in a long time. Food was absolutely delicious. Service was outstanding and the time that my Dad got to visit with Gus was so memorable. Thank you Gus for remembering our parents....as you said you knew his voice when you heard him. We felt honored that you took time to visit with them at our table. We will be back soon!! ☺️“

“I got the chicken stripes and husband got a burger everything was really good and we sat outside 👍“

“I lived in New England for a long time and also parts of New York for a couple years, 42nd Street slices in downtown was great . I also had pizza from the oldest pizza joint in Connecticut. When I moved to Idaho I was worried about finding a NY style pizza that not only looked the part but tasted great as well......FUGET ABOUT IT, no need to look any further ! Jonny Bronx is like eating at home.“

“This place is amazing! Not only do they offer delicious food, their customer service goes above and beyond. When we had a miscommunication via the drive-thru yesterday, they insisted on replacing our meal despite my insistence of being at fault. They showed loving kindness that was greatly appreciated by my family, especially at this time of year. Thank you, Gyro Shack Linder! ❤️“

“Ok so this is FAST food, that's tastes good and is inexpensive too! Every day it's fast tasty and doesn't cost as much as most places.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options plus they will subtract any meats on any order. Lots of choices

Parking: Haven't ever had trouble parking, plenty of space.

Wheelchair accessibility: Always accessible“

“A luau in the deepest snow we've had since 2017?? Thankfully, it was held inside and we had Mimi Gerosin, Catering Manager, on our side. I contacted Mimi at the height of Goodwood's catering season in December to request a reservation for our January Christmas party. A luau sounded great in September!Mimi guided us through the whole process and with her many years of experience, made it seamless and easy. Incredibly, our food was delivered right on time despite the snowstorm and everything was perfect.Important tip: Please listen to Mimi's recommendations for food amounts! We ordered waaaay too much despite her gentle hints to the contrary. She's definitely the expert here.“

“Ok 2nd time at Rudy's in Meridian and service both times was amazing, food was hot , fast and good and priced reasonably. Definitely worth trying...I personally love the Rueben, perfect mix of tart sauerkraut and thousand island dressing on marbled Rye, fries are crisp, Onion rings are perfectly cooked. Crispy wings are great.“

“El Gallo Giro has been a work lunch locale for years now. all the best people go :) Our family loves the food and atmosphere. It's our special taco place!“

“Their food is great but they are not limiting the amount of customers here during the Covid crisis. We were there on a Thursday evening and it was packed. All tables were full. People were not 6 ft apart and there was a crowd in the lobby which is a small area. I can see it was all about the money here and not safety. That being said, the food was good. The chow rice was 5 minutes later getting to us but was fresh and hot. We did not eat everything and asked for a to go box and the waitress said "you were not very hungry!" The seats need replacing as they are worn out and they were not following the cleaning protocol very well. I may go back some day as the honey almond shrimp is to die for!“

“Here's a Google review you can use:

---

I had the pleasure of being served by Lisa during my visit, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our experience special. Not only did she take great care of us, but she even gave us fun stickers and walked us to our cars with a smile! It's rare to find such thoughtful and genuinely kind service. Thank you, Lisa, for making our day so much brighter! Highly recommend this place—especially if Lisa is your waitress!

Parking: so awesome because of Lisa

Kid-friendliness: people r so nice“

“Ate at the Rice Work July 9th. Ordered the teriyaki, veggies with rice. The rice was way over cooked and the veggies consisted of all broccoli and was under cooked. Chicken was so so. Would rate this meal just above garbage.“

“The pizza and monkey bread is to die for...the management and staff are even more delicious! I absolutely love this place! �“
