50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Chatham

“Great food. Great Service. Definitely one of our go to's. dine in and take out😋“

“Pretty good food and great service! Decent prices too! There are a few items under $10 but most are around $12-$15. Restaurant is pretty small on the inside but you can still eat in if you want to. I appreciate the convenience of ordering online and pay at pickup cuz it makes things much easier.“

“I can honestly say Vele is the best fine dining experience I’ve ever had. The service, the food, everything is consistently incredible every single time we go. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but it is so worth it. I’ve never had a bad meal here, and I’ve never had anything less than amazing service. Every dish I’ve tried has been absolutely divine. The Filet Mignon is my favorite and is 10/10 every single time. I celebrated a friend’s birthday there last night, and it was just another perfect experience. We had Shane as our waiter (again!), and he is always fantastic, attentive, fun, and truly great at what he does. I actually worked with him years ago at another restaurant, and he’s just as wonderful outside of the restaurant as he is there. Vele is lucky to have him, and I feel lucky to have a place like this to keep coming back to.“

“The best sushi that Illinois has to offer, can't be beat. Quality, portions, and service all blow everyone else out of the water.“

“This was my first time here (Job Christmas dinner) never really got into sushi but when I tell you that food was amazing (Fresh, Hot) Our waitress was above and beyond and I can say it's the best of Springfield. I will be going back soon! A must have experience of flavors!“

“We’re regulars here. Always the best!“

“Went there for the first time tonight. From the initial greeting to leaving with a full belly, we were impressed. The service was good and the food made to order.“

“Great local business! The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff are kind and helpful, the food is delicious and they get it out fast!

“My kids and I stopped in here Tuesday after my son’s diabetic appointment. There was no carb information so I asked the waitress if there was any chance I could get that since my son is Type 1 diabetic. Without hesitation, she went back and spoke with the cook and manager. We had the carb information we needed and had 0 issues ordering. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart. The manager even came and went over the carb information with us. Thank you for helping ease this mommas mind. Something as simple as ordering a meal can be tricky for a child with type 1. And you didn’t snub us or treat us any differntly. Sadly, that does tend to happen a lot when asking that simple of a question. Our food was amazing and so was the service. We will most definitely be back!“

“Great food, great service!“

“This by far my favorite restaurant in Springfield. I am a frequent customer for both dinner and with coworkers for the lunch buffet. I especially like that the buffet always offers a different dish to try which helps me decided on what I will order from the dinner menu. Food is always freshly prepared and delicious. The service is excellent and the restaurant is spotlessly clean. The servers are attentive. I highly recommend Gateway to India.“

“Great place for lunch. Outdoor seating option. The chef always comes around to talk to his customers. Rick is a great server.“

“The food was 🔥🔥🔥 delicious not spicy. Flavor profile was ridiculous. My taste buds had a party.💯 recommend.“

“We have made this our go-to pizza for Friday night dinner and movie with the family. Always consistent and delicious. We get a large thin crust, a two ply pizza, and an order of garlic cheese toast.“

“Been coming to Cook’s since I worked across the street at camp Lincoln years upon years ago. Went back today for the first time in several years. The quality, freshness, quick, and friendly service was EXACTLY how I remember. Their whole grain bread is to die for. I don’t get to this side of town as often as I used to, but it is absolutely worth stopping in. Definitely one of Springfield’s hidden gems!“

“Good food, old fashion service!“

“Tastes like some of the restaurants I’ve visited in Hawaii. Worth a trip!“

“Everything was great the seafood boil and appetizers. Just two complaints, the sliver of cheesecake was way too pricey for the little sliver they served and it tasted like frozen cheap kind, second the crab Rangoon was delicious but way too small for the price. I will come back for more as it is delicious just those two things need to be fixed.“

“Good food, really good House tequila and good time at karaoke.“

“Genuinely so delicious. Was recommended this place but a local and I'm so glad the husband and I stopped in. We got a caramel marshmallow latte thing that tasted like campfire toasted marshmallows, but we were there specifically because we wanted pastries. He got a Danish and I got the triple very muffin and honestly both were absolutely divine. I love a blueberry muffin as it is, but theirs are so soft and they don't slump even a little on the very flavor. The Danish was delightfully flaky and filled with a praline sort of filling, which was just the right amount of sweet. Highly recommend getting your baked goods warmed as well! Well be coming here again next time we're in Springfield“

“Food was ordered for a med sized group setting . Everything was very delicious and tasty!! loaded with big shrimps, and lots of fresh vegetables and was very good! Will definitely order again. Recommend the lo mein and shrimp with vegetables and white rice.“

“OH MY YUMMMM! This place was FIRE!🔥 The soup was magnificent like some kind of magical taste explosion! The sushi was good and a good portion too, which can be hard to find!!! The spring rolls were tasty and so fresh hot and crispy!!! The lunch special was CHEAP too! HIDDEN GEM ALERT! 🚨 5 stars! A++ GO TO THIS PLACE BEFORE I EAT ALL THE FOOD THERE!!!“

“I stopped by the drive-thru for the first time yesterday. I ordered the gyro plate. It is easily enough food for two people. It was fresh and tasty. The fries were crisp and they reheated well the next day. I absolutely plan to make this place a regular stop!“

“Amazing pad thai, best pad thai in Springfield for sure. That's really the only thing I ever order these days so I can't really speak to the quality of anything else, but I can tell you for sure that nobody else in the city even compares to Magic when it comes to pad thai.“

“Today, after years of eating at the pizza ranch right off of 6th Street, I stopped by to grab a bite. The chicken was great as always. The pizza wasn't great. A very limited selection and it was starting look dried out, and there wasn't a lot to chose from. I saw one employee walked by and looked at it, but that was the extent of it. Thank you.......“

“My name is Mike Lawrence. I began coming to Joe’s when it was still located in a somewhat decrepit house located just one door west of the building it’s now in. The front porch on that old house was loose and would bounce or sag a bit when you walked across it and my joke to guests I took in there with me, was they should carefully walk around that bad spot when we left because we’d all be heavier from having eaten and would probably fall through.

My daughter lost her first baby tooth while eating Spaghetti at Joe’s. She’s now 43 so, yeah, we’ve been coming for decades; certainly since the days when Joe Porcasi ran it.

All the food was great and, through all those years, I NEVER heard anyone say anything bad about the food, the service, the price, nothing … until now.

I guess it’s to be expected, especially in the food industry. Over time people weary of doing the same job day after day, get tired of serving the same food to the same people. Pride in performance gives way to pet peeves and personal pity parties. Oh, I get it. I do.

The reviews I read now talking about bad service, bad food, no longer being able to dine in … none of that would EVER have been true back in the day. Back when we came and sat down, talked, laughed, took in the awesome smells, and delighted when the food came. Even standing up to get the door for someone exiting with boxes of pizzas and more to take home to loved ones. Man, those were the best of times.

When we first found Joes, we didn’t go to any other shop in town. Why, when you’d found the best, would you want to go anywhere else?

We had even talked, briefly, with the original owners about opening a franchise on the east side of Springfield. Wish we’d carried through with that instead of opening a restaurant. Ah, well.

I don’t know if it’s still there, but I donated a kitchen chef statue to Joe’s when Jeff bought the place. Used to be right up on the counter.

I live in St. Louis now but, from time to time, when I long for one of Joe’s pizzas, or meatball subs, or lasagnas … and it’s only a 200 mile round trip but, frankly, some of the reviews have kinda bummed me out about doing it.

Ah, well. We’ll see.“
