5 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.“

“Surprised my bestie with an adventure day to celebrate her birthday! We came for the soup flight- the cream of chicken and wild rice, potato soup and chicken enchilada were all excellent!“

“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“

“Great food! Love the Yum Woon Sen!!“
