18 Best Vegan Restaurants in Crystal Lake

“1776 was a true delight! We spent the 4th of July here 🇺🇸. The food was truly an inspiration. Our waiter Josh was an absolute gem and sweeter than sorghum. We will return and request him as our waiter every time. Love this place.“

“Took my wife here for valentine's day and it was fantastic. The food and drinks were amazing, great appetizers and great service, if you want real Italian this is the place to go.We will be back for sure.“

“Great pizza, quick friendly service in a nice Chicago themed restaurant.

We hadn't been to Georgio's in a while and decided to head there for pizza. The only reason we hadn't been here is that we have other options that are closer to home. Everything was so good that we will be making this trip more often.“

“Great dairy free options!“

“Delicious unique fare and cocktails. City vibe in the suburbs. Recommend the Vine margarita, braised short rib panini, and holy grail grilled cheese. We’ll be back to support this local restaurant especially because the staff is so friendly.“

“Jude’s offers small plates perfect for sharing with friends. The food choices are plentiful and reflect different culinary choices so they offer things you can’t get elsewhere in CL. The environment is warm and welcoming. Staff provide service that makes sure the experience is a good one.“

“EVERYTHING ☆☆☆☆☆+ and more!“

“Great place! Our party of 5 bellied up to the bar and had a great time. Jim our server and Scott the bartender made some great recommendations on drinks and apps. Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“

“Stopped here for my first time ever by using the Too Good To Go app and was surprised to see all of delicious options they have. I will definitely be going back to try out their salads. I got the Waldorf chicken salad wrap and it was delicious.“

“Always fresh and creative food at Duke’s, love their focus on local products and community!! Highly recommend!!“

“We came here on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025, for the first time in several years. It was a great experience! I was skeptical at first but I cannot recommend the show at the hibachi grills and the atmosphere enough. Although expensive, the filet mignon was so good! I really enjoyed my time at Kyoto and hope to be back at some point again in the future! Only small note is that it’s pretty busy even on Wednesday nights so it was a long dinner. (Written 10-3-25)“

“The cupcakes are creative and delicious! I like the carrot cake one with bunny ears, and the one with pink buttercream and the Cheshire cat grin.“

“The food was great! It was served quickly and was hot. The proportions were the right size.
Our server was very polite, friendly, and was very attentive to all her tables. She really made us feel welcome. She even offered coffees to go. She alone made a big positive difference in our visit.
The atmosphere was pleasant as well. The acoustics and lightning were perfect.
We will visit again. 😀“

“Best Thai in suburbs! I have loved Thai food for much of my life and outside of the city, even after trying multiple Thai restaurants from the North Shore and burbs all around the area, this is hands down the best around! Fresh, not over cooked, spiced to perfection. While I would love to have a go to place closer, we will gladly continue to make the 30 minute drive to Crystal Lake to eat this high quality Thai. Prefer take out as the ambiance isnt spectacular but when we have eaten there, service is top notch.“

“Was my first time eating sushi and was delicious, I am sure I will go there again, The service was excellent,“

“Always great service and excellent food! The pizza is the best!“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“I haven’t been to Panera in probably two years. I ordered what my daughter usually ate, and when I got out to the car, I noticed that the smoothie was not filled to the top despite being a really expensive drink, disappointing to say the least.“
