50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Columbia

“We attended a wedding here. Was a beautiful building. The grand ballroom is truly a showstopper with ample space for nearly any size wedding or gathering. They offer two bars for your event. The patio space is nice but just a concrete slab. If they add features here it could be a truly next level venue. Some of the acoustics in side seemed challenging and it was hard to hear spoken words. Bathrooms are small and the stall door was broken leading to a lot of walk-ins on people. Beautiful wall of windows on each side of the venue.“

“Friendly staff, optional outside dining(weather permitting). the Mimosa flights are good. The Arkansas kicker is my go-to no matter how it's made.“

“Great food! Love the Yum Woon Sen!!“

“We are full-time RVers who, while traveling around the US, are in search of the best cheeseburger and have a rating system of The Best (only 1 rated), Very Good, Good, OK, and Not Impressed. While at our home base in Southern Illinois, we were in the Columbia, IL, area and Googled “hamburger restaurants.” We saw Washy’s Pub had good burger reviews, so decided to give them a try for lunch. Washy’s has a simple bar atmosphere with about a dozen tables. We ordered their Classic burger with me having American cheese and my wife pepperjack. We also requested lettuce, pickles, and sliced onions. The handmade patties were about 10 oz (good sized), nicely seasoned, cooked to order, charbroiled, and served on a nicely-toast fresh bun. I had their skinny-style battered fries and my wife had onion rings. The burgers came out hot and were super tasty due the meat seasoning. We’re not sure what seasoning they used, but it worked! My wife’s burger was just a tiny bit better than mine due the pepperjack they use. The fries and onion rings were among the best we’ve had as well. We rated the burgers (even without a special sauce), fries, and onion rings Very Good. The service was also top notch.“

“Hands down the best casual eating experience. The friendly owner all the way to service and atmosphere. This is not a hidden gem. It is a local and community family friendly restaurant. If the weather is permitting I highly recommend the patio“

“Domino's is still the best pizza around! They always make a good consistent hot pizza delivered fast!“

“Stopped by finally to try the pork steaks, unfortunately for me they sold out right before our visit (but a very good problem to have). We pivoted and tried the turkey and brisket…dee lish shush! The Mac n cheese was creamy but the potato salad…try it! We will make the trip again, 100%, to chase the famous pork steaks😉“

“Great burgers! I LOVED my TriPPPy burger which has a pineapple chutney and bacon jam. You will want extra napkins with that one.? My husband built his own burger to get just what he wanted and enjoyed his burger. They also have veggie options, but these carnivores did not explore them.“

“I always seem to get the Beef Brisket which is the best that I've ever had. The sides are delicious. The service was great and they seem to really care about our experience. We are always referring them to friends and others looking for Great BBQ.“

“I used to go here once sometimes twice a week when I lived in town while I was a traveling nurse. As someone who’s lived all over the country this is by far one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to, and great service! Keep up the good work!! Much love from Maine!“

“This was such a nice quiet place tucked away. The meal pictured was just 1 meal we split in half between the two of us. So it's safe to say they don't skimp on the portions. Our wait staff was very friendly and quick with our service. Would very much recommend this for those looking for a smaller town/mom and pop type atmosphere.“

“Great beer and friendly service“

“This bakery is amazing. I know I've reviewed this bakery in the past, but they continue to be a staple in my daily life. They have the best birthday cakes, bread, and any other sweet pastries you can think of. They even make cookies for dogs!“

“Enjoyed Sunday Brunch!!!!“

“It's always a good time at the Stubborn German. The staff is not only very welcoming, but genuinely enthusiastic about the beer and helps everyone to have a great experience while visiting. They also have an impressive bourbon selection. They take pride in the beer they brew and you can taste it. SGBC is a great stop on your Waterloo visit... you'll be back again and again.“

“Had this on the want to go list for some time. Finally made it.
Neat little restaurant that’s a bit of a hidden gem.
Small location. Quiet with a great seasonal menu. Wait staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu.
We ordered wine and entrees. The serving size was appropriate and not too much.
We asked for a special dessert. The waitress worked with the kitchen to accommodate our request. It was wonderful. (See pics for ice cream. Caramel and scotch)
Would definitely recommend!!!“

“First time was a couple months ago. Why in the world it took me so long to try it i dunno. It was the best pizza in the area (& beyond) I've had in a long while. So very kind and fun to talk with. Reminds me of the way it used to be at pizza places. (I don't normally review - thaz how yummy)“

“Great staff and great food!!!“

“Amazing food - best Persian-style cuisine in STL so far and some of the best anywhere we've traveled. Saffron chicken kebab was beyond tender and so flavorful. Their version of biryani was delicious, too, and the gyro was solid. The sambosas were a great starter, and even the fries that came with the gyro were good. We'll be back to try more dishes soon!“

“Love the food and matcha!“

“Love it here, great service. Brie the waitress is amazing, always greets with a genuine smile❤️. The others are really nice as well. Food was on point. Alcohol was great and strong. They have outside seating and bar as well. Menu was just updated so plenty to pick from. I recommend!!“

“We ordered the Cowboy and the BBQ Chicken. They were made fresh in front of us. They were delicious. We had out of town guests. They were thrilled at the excellent taste. We also received a military discount!! We love Papa Murphy’s!❤️👏“

“Had my birthday dinner at Krab Kingz and had a great time! The food was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and tasted amazing. Staff recommended the Cajun butter with garlic parmesan which was a big hit with the group. I only wish I had ordered more of the hush puppies because they disappeared quickly 😅 10/10 will definitely be back!“

“Nice food and nice people!

It took me years to even realize there was a restaurant here. It's hard to see from the outside, but once you go inside it's very bright and happy.

I always just get the combo with everything“

“When people ask why I go to Waffle house I say Josh. When people ask why I live my life I say Josh. This man does everything around here. He is the main figurehead for Waffle house. He is a very Jolly man (not referring Santa Clause). Waffle was very delicious. He will serve your food fast and make you happy in every way! He has a very nice trimmed beard. Thank you Josh for the extravagant experience!“

“A great well established American sports Grill and Bar. Food is very good and generous portions! The onion rings are a “must” try! The pork tenderloin sandwich is another one of my favorites. Service was excellent. Established in 1991 I believe, it has carved its place into the Oakville community.“

“Awesome fried chicken! I heard about their chicken for years. I finally got the time to go and have some, I wasn't disappointed!! I will have to go back and taste more of their items!! Service and price was outstanding!! Thank you for all you do! It's a great place to grab a bite to eat!“

“I had the B&G combo. It was amazing and they weren't greedy with the gravy. The 2 servers were both personable and made sure our coffee stayed hot.“

“Quesoburrias Tacos are 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“This place was amazing. They immediately sat our last minute party of twelve, the food was impeccable, and the service even better. Definitely recommend.“

“Kt's used to be my go to bar at the end of a night of drinking to go dance and hear live music and now I find it as one of my Go to Spots any time of the day or night and any day of the week or weekend. Best bartenders. Elizabeth and Chris are the best! A good gal pal and myself had a little Birthday celebration there this past April and I was able to hang out with the Owner Angie whose by far one of the most down to Earth fun yet business savvy women I've ever met. She keeps making Kts a better spot and a reason to go to constantly. Highly recommend going too.“

“Always great food and service at Tap Haus! We did monthly brunch today and timing of food and drinks was perfect. The choices of food on the menu were great for all ages. Service was great! Didn’t catch our waitress’s name but she was very sweet and attentive.“
