50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Crest Hill

“Friendly environment, and amazing food, I usually don’t do review. But this place is a must“

“First time me and my husband have been here. As we walked in our hands were shipped by the owner, which was a great welcome. The waffle was amazing. Presentation of the waffle was great. The eggs were cooked properly. Coffee was wonderful, including a craft at the table, lemon water was placed on the table as well. If I am in this area as I live two hours away I will certainly return. I recommend this place highly for a wonderful breakfast. Nice big menu but not too overwhelming. Give it a try. Say hi to the owner.“

“This place is an unassuming gem. It was kind of out of the way of things, but it is worth a sit down experience. The restaurant itself is very nostalgic, there is a lot of seating and was pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon. The employees were friendly and helpful, and the food was really great. I mean this in the best way possible, it was no frills cuisine. So often, restaurants try to re-invent the wheel and it isn't always necessary. The portions were plentiful, the prices were great, it was all fresh and hot and delicious. I am personally a fan of the choice of vegetable egg rolls not spring rolls and I was delighted that they had both. They were amazing!! I do not eat meat, but based upon everything else and the flavor profile I am certain a meat dish would be great too. I definitely would visit again!“

“This is my new absolute favorite BBQ restaurant!! My partner and I ordered delivery for the first time, and we were beyond impressed!

First of all they have their own delivery drivers, which is better than those gig apps for everyone involved. They had no trouble finding our apartment, and the food got here early!

The food smelled amazing when we opened the packages, and it tasted heavenly. The quality is outstanding, and their variety of sauces is also splendid, they're delicious. There may have been a discrepancy on the ordering platform about what sauces they give with certain meals, but they still gave me the variety of sauces I asked for seemingly free of charge! Talk about excellent service! I loved getting to try the different types of sauces, they were all delicious. The next time we order we're going to have to buy some of their sauce bottles!

All the meats we ordered were incredibly tender and bursting with flavor, barbecued to perfection. The sides were amazing, too. That potato salad is to die for. Overall, an extremely positive experience and I'm excited to order again when money allows :)

I do see people complaining about the prices, but honestly I feel the prices make sense for what they offer. It's a lot harder to prepare food that takes 4+ hours to cook in a cost effective way on a daily basis than standard fare. Everything is also going up in price nowadays, but for the quality and effort offered, I don't think the prices are unfair.“

“All delicious food. 10/10 would eat again.“

“Superior service, food & drinks; love that they serve Slagel meats! Our lunch was quite tasty, with large enough portions to bring home half for a meal, tomorrow.“

“If you haven’t tried this place it’s an absolute must! Food, service, staff everything just super! We went celebrating a friends special birthday and every single one of us loved this place.“

“Best Cornbeef sandwich around and Don’t forget the chicken wings a most try“

“Food was great along with atmosphere. Had a surprise going away party for my sister and everyone was helpful and understanding to make the occasion special. Highly recommend.“

“Hidden gem with excellent food. We frequent a few times a month— because the food is just that good. Our fav apps include Spring Rolls, Crab Rangoon, & Pan Fried Dumplings. For entrees, can’t go wrong with Homemade Dumpling Soup, Thai Style Fried Rice, Pad Thai, or Thai BBQ Pork with noodles. My husband is more adventurous and his MVP’s are Massaman Curry & Thai Red Curry. We are slowly making our way through the entire menu but hard not to just order our favorites every time. Thai Milk Tea is also delish. Highly recommend checking it out!“

Try the Happy Drink to finish off your meal or as a summertime refreshment!! Staff is awesome and very friendly and we will definitely be back for more ✨😊“

“We’ve lived in the area for over 8 years and finally stopped here for dinner. The food was delicious - huge portions, the specials include soup and salad and the amazing service from Paulette was absolutely wonderful. I had the ribs - yummy and they fall off the bone. My husband had the chicken Alfredo. He loved it and the portion was huge! Great bang for the buck too. Beer and wine only but that’s all we needed.“

“The pizza was very good. I liked the basil seasoning and garlic in it. It was a very clean place. I would definitely recommend this place to others.“

“The food is so good. Staff is so friendly. Big portions anyways have leftovers. Our favorite breakfast place in New Lenox“

“I had a bad experience my first time going after they opened but I gave it another try tonight and I was so impressed with the waitress, I asked her name she said Stephanie and she said she is fairly new, well hopefully you get alot more servers like her she was perfect and so extremely friendly, we will ask to be seated at her tables next time for sure! My first experience the waitress didn't even smile ,I had to ask numerous times for obvious items it was rediculous but definitely going back now also she wasn't just standing around like the last time I went 3 waitresses just chatting and actually had to ask for one of them to take our order after 15 minutes so tonight I give 5 stars last time I gave 1 star“

“Stayed at Harrah’s Casino in Joliet & food at the grill was terrible. Found The Old Fashioned Pancake House Restaurant on Jefferson St in Joliet the next morning and it was amazing. Service was quick, attentive and continuous. Food (breakfast) was simply outstanding and price was very good! I have traveled a lot and this place is a Five Star value in my book.“

“Great food and beverage in Plainfield, Illinois. Attended a recent event to celebrate our partners and enjoy an extraordinary presentation by Werk Force Brewing and Happy Belly Kitchen. Host and hostesses (Brando, Amanda, Kathy, Katy and Mike ) went all out to serve us and make this a memorable night. I am sur I left out names but it was the Best!“

“Yesterday was our first time eating at Station One in Yorkville. I am kicking myself for not going sooner. The brisket was so tender it just fell apart. My mouth was watering watching them cut it up. So flavorful and smokey. Delicious. We also had the burnt ends which were the best we have had in a long time. Tender and moist. And we had the pulled pork. OMG! The best pulled pork I have had! Juicy and tender and so flavorful. We didn’t even need sauce on it. The house bbq sauce is delicious too. The sides were tasty too. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Prices were good as well! Highly recommend. This will definitely be a frequent place for us.“

“We have ordered from here quite a few times and we are so happy we found this place. It truly has amazing Mexican Food. Their steak is melt in your mouth!!!“

“My mom and I like to meet at wineries/ wine bars once a month that halfway for us (parents live in Crystal Lake and I live in LaSalle). Goat and Vine was an excellent restaurant with delicious food and a variety of top notch wines! On top of that, our server made our first time experience that much better; I highly recommend!!“

“Great breakfast 🍳 skillets!!! Great food and great service. Highly recommend 😊“

“After a day at Lake Michigan, my girlfriend and I decided to take a drive over to Rax. We haven't had it in years and we were not disappointed. It tasted as good as I remembered. We really enjoyed our visit to Rax. I just wished we lived closer“

“They went above and beyond for our family. We had about 30 people who decided to go out to dinner after a wake. We called and 15 minutes later they had a huge table set up and did an awesome job of taking care of us. Very impressed with the service we received.“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Joliet location. We stopped there after taking my grandmother to the casino and she didn’t have her wheelchair. She walks but very slowly. The staff was super kind and made sure she had a walkway and opened all the doors for her. They didn’t rush her or make her feel bad for taking a while! They cared and were so helpful! Great food and great staff! Thank you!“

“Mad Hatchet has a great selection of beer. It is a great place to bring your friends and knock back a few.“

“we sat outside, i ordered the frog legs and the orange whip drink. they were PHENOMENAL, and our server raina was absolutely amazing as well. i would go back solely for the service, our table had so much fun while we were there!“

“Always enjoy Al’s, but haven’t been there since Covid. Is salad bar open?“

“The food there is delicious. Great service very pleasant atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back“

“I typically get the Wiccan Chicken. The portions have gotten smaller. I remember when the chicken was as large as the dinner plate. Today, two pieces about 3x5 inches. Still same great taste; love the green beans and mashed potatoes, too. Everything is fresh. The brussel sprouts are a must! I've had the steaks too and those are scrumptious. Others in my group also raved about their meals. We had late lunch today. Service was awesome. If you go in evening or weekends, call ahead bc they are busy and it could be a 45 min wait. Only downside: it does get kinda loud when the restaurant is full. Acoutics are not good. They could use something to absorb sound. It looks like a renovated factory so sound bounces off the bricks.“

“Chicken and fritters never disappoint! Outstanding service….they know how to get you in and out!!“

“Delicious food and super friendly staff! Bonus: we LOVE the music theme!!!!!“

“We stumbled upon The Tasty Biscuit while in town for a wedding and ended up coming back twice—it was that good. Despite a packed parking lot both mornings, we were seated right away thanks to their fast, efficient service. The coffee was excellent, the menu was full of creative and classic options, and the food itself? Quite possibly the best breakfast we’ve ever had. On our second visit, we even recognized some familiar faces from the day before—clearly, we weren’t the only ones hooked! If you’re anywhere near this place, don’t miss the chance to stop in. Your taste buds will thank you.“

“Food is excellent service was good definitely be back it must try to water the water is very good 👍“

“Always great food when I go there and take out is never a problem! Whenever I mention bee brothers all I hear is great things! Great potato soup and amazing chicken. Will always order here please keep up the great work! ❤️“

“Fun place and really good food variety. Always tasty! Great staff! Love to take out also!“

“Can't say enough good things about Uptown Tap & Eatery!

They recently hosted a fundraiser for Gabby Shanahan, and the entire team did an amazing job! From the hospitality to the atmosphere, they made everyone feel welcome and helped make the evening a great success.

It's businesses like Uptown that make downtown Plainfield such a great place. They bring people together, support our community, and help make Plainfield what it is.

A big thank you to everyone at Uptown for taking such great care of us and going above and beyond!

If you're looking for a great local spot in Plainfield, I highly recommend checking them out. We'll definitely be back!“
