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.“

“We thought this was all you can eat and it is NOT we almost left but I’m so glad we stayed the food was absolutely amazing. They didn’t have what I was looking for on the menu but they made it anyway and we ended up coming out cheaper and more satisfied than all you can eat. 10/10 food and will be back. Alyssa was our server and she was amazing“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

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

“I wanted to leave a FANTASTIC 5 Star review about this new updated restaurant called Nick's Italian Ristorante. My wife and I plus a couple of friends recently went back for the third time to enjoy their excellent food. When we first visited after Nick's took over from Flatbread I have to say I was extremely disappointed. But after a change of management ... WOW what a change. (By the way ...Nick's is owned by Barbacoa!) The food was absolutely outstanding ...some of the Best Italian food I have ever tasted especially the Meatballs and sauce ...simply the BEST! Many people are unaware of this fabulous Italian restaurant so I felt the need to shout it out to everyone. TRY NICK'S ... you won't be disappointed. Also ask for Frankie ...she is one of the Best waitresses I have ever experienced ..always a smile on her face, and offering caring service! Love to you all!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We had the spicy beef garlic noodles, the Thai porkchop, the Nashville hot sandwich, and the vodka penne pasta.
The spicy beef garlic noodle were excellent, they had enough spice without being too hot. The Thai porkchop was excellent amd super tender. The Nashville hot sandwich was great. Only meal we had a problem with was the vodka penne, both the chicken and pasta was very salty. Our waiter was absent alot and we saw them standing talking to other staff.“

“its good“

“Went to the Matador tonight for the first time with friends and was impressed by everything but especially by the service! Our bartender Kat was very welcoming, attentive, and not to mention made delicious drinks. We will definitely be returning!“

“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!“

“This was a fun lunch experience, tried the burnt ends, which I am generally a sucker for. These were great, I liked the sauce (a traditional sweet tangy bbq) but I would probably get it on the side as I generally am more of a dry rub or light sauce guy. All that said, the burnt ends were great. The steak fries actually wrre great, I love steak fries as long as they aren't soggy and these were cooked perfectly. The mac and cheese was good, nothing special but also nothing wrong with it. My friend had the salmon on a salad that featured fruit etc, the name escapes me. He liked it, he said it may have needed more dressing, but it wasn't enough of an issue to make a request. We both noted the lemon being in a mesh, which was a nice touch for a casual restaurant.

We were with a large group and they assigned two servers to us, service was excellent and timely, even with probably 12 seperate checks.

I ordered a smoked old fashioned half sweet (as is my custom) it was actually quite good, their choice in ingredients made it a proper drink and it didn't feel phoned in like you get at a lot of barbecue and casual spots.

Definitely recommend.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Favorite Pizza in the Valley“

“My family, 7 people, had a wonderful experience at Le Peep. I made a reservation ahead of time. and when we arrived they seated us immediately even though they were very busy. Amy was our server and she was very nice and patient with us. The food was served quickly. Everything was delicious and they serve plenty of food. I/we will return to Le Peep very soon. :-)“

“Our experience here from the first time we were welcomed by the hosts to being seated to our table. They were so kind and professional! Our waitresses on Two different occasions Jillian and Amy were fabulous!!! The next visits we had Jacob and Tanner as bartenders and servers were awesome! This is now our favorite restaurant!!!!! We drive over 35 minutes away to get here and it’s worth the drive and we look forward to the food. It’s very consistent highly recommend the prime rib sandwich! I however, like to put mine on sourdough bread and it was so fantastic. My husband says I never clean the plate like I do every time we’ve come here! I’m gonna include photos because their presentation of their food is beautiful and appetizing! Thank you, Damon for a great vibe, fresh food, and creative menu offerings!“

“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.“

“This is hands down, the best ihop I've ever been to. The staff is always kind and efficient. The food is always on point, I've never had something I wasn't happy with. The manager kelsey is awesome, It's not often you find managers like her anymore, she makes sure everything there runs smooth and makes sure her staff is treating the guests right“

“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!“

“we came in at midnight almost after we got back from the vet from our dog having cluster seizures, and garret was super helpful and kind he brought our dog 2 pepperoni slices and was a good bright light during our hard time im glad we came here and it definitely makes us wanna come back more often! we appreciate you

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
