50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Meridian

“I’ve been to/ordered from Red Fort a lot, and always enjoyed it, but it’s those outlier experiences that get you to remember to write a review, for better or worse. Last night we celebrated my daughter’s birthday and we decided to DoorDash an order from them. This was a long distance order. We got the food, and as usual it was amazing. Absolutely stellar entrees. But something got mixed up in the kitchen and something sweet my kid ordered was seasoned savory, which just didn’t work. So I shot them an email, referencing my order number. I was expecting that they could double check to make sure no other orders had that issue, maybe give me a coupon for next time. No. A manager called me. Because of how far we are (30 minute drive), rather than reemploy DoorDash, he *personally* drove a fixed version of her item—plus extras—out to us. This was a smaller item, not her main food. We’d have been okay. But it made her birthday having the problem fixed. This is the best customer service I’ve received, and paired with the quality of the rest of the food and the fair prices, it pains me to say since they are a franchise, but Red Fort is quickly becoming my favorite Indian restaurant in the valley. Highly recommend.“

“It was really pretty good sushi. We ordered online and got it to go. Finding a parking spot was a little rough but it was worth it. I walked in and the bar tender asked my name and said he’d be right back. He returned with the order and I left. Literally less than two minutes!“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food, great options, inviting, kind, and caring staff. 100% would recommend“

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

“My 6, now 7 year old picked this place to celebrate his bday! Thank you Kaleigh for the amazing service!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Muy buena la comida . Solo está muy frío el restaurante, es . Mi lugar favorito de desayuno 🍳 .“

“We tried Soup Kettle for the firsr time after the Nampa location opened and we are addicted. We got at least twice a week, we've had their breakfast croissants, other sandwiches, soup and milk teas. Everything has been delicious and the employees are always so sweet and helpful.“

“Main dishes are great. Apps selection could e expanded and changed up. Portions on the appetizers are smaller. Great teaser salads. Shawna was our waiter and she knocked it out of the park. She and the staff create, yet another, wonderful dinning experience.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“They are very accommodating and run by an amazing family. They offer a wide variety of food, a full bar and fun entertainment (live music, karaoke, and a full stage set up for performances, even bring your own...magic shows :) They can accommodate large groups and have a popular take out or delivery kitchen. They are not just a restaurant with a bar. They are not a sports bar. They are different and I'm always pleasantly surprised each time I go there.“

“This place is great in all respects. The service was great. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The food and lattes were excellent. We visited on the first day of our vacation and will visit again on the last day.“

“We had a great meal and excellent service, thank you.“

“We had a party of 7 at Yard House and had an absolutely fantastic experience! Our server was amazing—friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone in our group was taken care of throughout the entire meal. Thank you misty for the wonderful experience!“

“We go there every. single. weekend.- it's that good. Everyone is super friendly! The service is consistently exceptional, no matter if it's Rickie, Andi, Emerson, or Natalie. They are all fabulous! ( I'm forgetting the name of the gal who just got married, but she's great too!). We love everything from the waffles, chicken fried steak, biscuits & gravy, sausages, and country potatoes. It's no wonder they are always busy, but somehow we never have to wait that long. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out!“

“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!“

“its good“

“Matador is an awesome Mexican restaurant with absolutely delicious tacos! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is great, and the service really makes the experience even better.

Brad, the manager, is awesome and does a great job taking care of everyone. The entire waitstaff and bartenders were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service.

Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. I definitely recommend Matador if you’re looking for some amazing Mexican food and excellent service! 🌮🔥“

“I am a bbq aficionado, grew up in KC, and love bbq. Smoke my own meat etc. I went to Goodhoods while I was in town visiting and had the beef ribs. They were literally the best beef ribs I've ever had and I've been all over the country hitting all the best bbq restaurants. If you're in Meridian and like bbq I highly recommend eating there. Delicious!“

“We had an outstanding experience thanks to our waitress, Ivey, who delivered truly excellent service from start to finish. We were a group of 8 and she handled everything with kindness, patience, and professionalism. Drinks were refilled quickly, orders were accurate, and she checked in often without ever making us feel rushed.
Her friendly attitude made the meal even better — she was attentive, upbeat, and made sure everyone at the table felt taken care of.
We left feeling grateful for her exceptional service. IHOP is lucky to have her, and we will definitely be returning because of the great experience she provided.“

“Jacquie greeted me with a genuine smile and her happy disposition shone brightly and was accented by her occasional soft singing the entire time i was there. Her service and attentiveness were perfect, and my breakfast of hotcakes, poached eggs and sausage was perfectly prepared and served promptly and hot. A simple breakfast experience. Absolutely flawless.“

“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.“

“Took my family out to dinner here, and it was AMAZING!!! Very delicious, and Antonio our server was very professional at what he does, and he made us feel really welcome. I'll surely come eat here again!! A+++++++ Food & service!“

“Always look forward to our meals at Sawaddee. Food is amazing and consistent. The people are just as amazing and kind. 💯 recommend“

“Favorite Pizza in the Valley“

“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! ❤️“

“We are visiting Utah from CT and stopped here for lunch yesterday. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Great atmosphere and attentive manager in the Riverdale location. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“My wife met a friend for lunch and told me how nice restaurant and how friendly Mei was. So, we came for dinner. We both had selections from the ‘Chinese Specials’. The food was good and the next time I added a side of Shimp! I think most would love this place!“

“Held my daughter’s bridal shower at the restaurant. They did a great job of setting up the room and allowed me to come in early to decorate for the shower. The food was fantastic and the staff were friendly and efficient in taking care of our group. Our family will definitely come back.“

“We were just expecting the ‘normal’ size pizza..but Johnny Bronx Pizza came in clutch, and said hold my beer. Delivery was fast. BEST pizza my family has had!“

“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.“

“I had an interesting experience tonight but i am leaving 5 stars for the way it was handled. They did more than enough to make up for an inconvenience and it is very much appreciated. I have done alot of business with them and any time something goes wrong (only on a couple of occasions. we are human, sometimes things happen) they have rectified it and made things right. They do more than most companies will to satisfy their customers and i highly recommend them.“

“​Eight Thirty Common is a go-to! We've been visited multiple times over the last few years and it never disappoints.
​We sat outside on our last visit, which was so nice. A fun touch is that their kids' menu is printed on the back of children's books, which gives the kids something fun to do at the table.
As someone who eats gluten-free, I also love that they offer GF burger buns and that their fries are gluten-free too.
I had the French dip (no bun) with a side salad, and it was fantastic. My husband got the steak and really liked it as well. Our kids got the kids burger which came with fries as well as a choice of apple sauce or veggie- the veggie was asparagus and it was seasoned really well!
We'll keep coming back!“

“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!“

“I placed my order online. I was able to add my coupon code without any issues. I went to the store on my way home and my pizzas were ready after only 15 mins. Staff greeted me and assisted in locating my order. They were very friendly. And, the pizzas were great.“

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

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

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

“Great service with a smile and they modified our order per our request. The margaritas were large and the chips and dip were great. We did not have to wait very long for our food and it was served hot. I highly recommend it.“

“Great amazing atmosphere, Staff are friendly and inviting. And the margaritas are better than Las Vegas“

“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!“

“Melissa took great care of my father and I. My dad loves hispanic cuisine, me not so much. My father had the Burrito Especial and I had their Cantina Burger, that is one of the best burgers I've had in years. Between the excellent service and outstanding food, I'd highly recommend a visit to one of Cafe' Ole's 2 locations.“

“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.“
