50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near East Dundee

“Dukes BBQ was on the agenda for lunch today. It’s not the first time and this review should have been done long ago. Great tender Brisket, baked beans, and chips. My coworkers had some lemon pepper wings which they shared with me. The chicken slid off the bone..delicious! It’s a must stop if in the Dundee area!“

“Would be hard to find a better or more diverse breakfast restaurant. Friendly and quick service. Attentive to keeping my coffee cup warm. Love the signature Benedicts and rotating specials. Gets busy on weekend mornings but waits are rarely long and so worth it.“

“Had a great dining experience! Our server, Kelsey, was great. Our first time going to a restaurant with our little one. He has egg and peanut allergies and Kelsey went above and beyond to ensure the food we ordered didn’t have these allergens. The staff was very accommodating and the food was delicious. I ordered the corned beef. Fries were good and they have a nice selection of beer. Thank you Kelsey for making our first time eating out a great experience!“

“Love all their selections! Something for everyone. Great events all the time and their Oktoberfest is one of the best I have ever had! Love all the staff!“

“They went above and beyond to make our cocktails (Dark and Stormy) when they were out of ginger beer...they went to a neighboring bar and got some! the ceviche was great too!“

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at Aliano’s Ristorante, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish.

The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfectly set the tone for a relaxing evening. Every detail—from the ambiance to the presentation of the food—reflected true care and quality. The dishes were absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and clearly made with fresh ingredients.

What truly made our visit unforgettable, though, was our server, Waylon. He was outstanding. Attentive without being overbearing, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. His recommendations were spot-on, and his professionalism and personality elevated the entire meal.

It’s not often you come across service that memorable, but Waylon absolutely delivered. We’ll definitely be back—and we’ll be asking for him again!

Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for amazing food and top-tier service.“

“At Bandito Barney’s we spent our night,
The vibes were buzzing, the mood just right.
The staff was friendly, quick with a smile,
They made our visit feel so worthwhile.

The place itself? A total delight —
Cool décor, great music, and laughs all night.
But when it came to the food on our tray,
We both agreed it was just “okay.”

One funny twist we didn’t foresee:
No Budweiser or Michelob Ultra for me!
But my wife and I still had our share of fun,
And when all’s said and done — we’ll be back for round one.“

“We came tonight for the first time for my husband’s birthday. Food was so good. Service was excellent! The cook even came out to ask us how our food was. We will be back!“

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.“

“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back“

“Great place for breakfast“

“This is some of the very best ramen I have ever had. And it's in my backyard!! After spending 2 weeks working on Los Angeles and going to ramen places every day, I fell in love with ramen in a way that found its way to the core of my heart. In the Chicago land area, for years, there was really only 2 places that were amazing. And to be honest, better than the places in LA. But then Tatsu opened and my wife and I were judgemental at first.... Until we ate it. The ramen is un-freaking-believably amazingly mouth watering and the service of the staff is just so welcoming and warm and real. I never feel rushed even when the place is packed (I'm looking at you Saturday nights). I feel like they want me here. And I'm happy to be so. Tatsu has become my absolute favorite ramen place to go to.

I'm actually nervous about going to Japan this year because of all the ramen shops we already have lined up to visit .. but something in me is screaming that when I get home to Elgin I will be welcomed with my favorite Spicy Garlic Tonkatsu waiting for me.

I can not recommend this place enough. Even my non-ramen-crazy friends all love it.“

“It’s a great place for breakfast!!! Their Friday dinner menu is also delicious!!!!“

“We pulled up in our boat and the staff helped us to tie up our boat.

“Great food. Fresh, not overcooked. Nice menu, not too big. Better than Egg Harbor!! Need more locations!“

“Went to celebrate my wife's 1st week at her new job. Food was fantastic with good portions. Restaurant was very clean, service was World Class. Peach glazed pork chops were one of the best pork chops that I've ever had. Wife had the hanger steak, and loved it.
Our only issues was the extremely loud and obnoxious group that had wandered in from the bar. Unfortunately there was no management visible to let them know that these people were ruining our experience. Our server was great, and it was obviously not her fault.“

“You can bring dog. Fast and good service.“

“We went to Woodfire for my birthday. The food and service is excellent. Vicki was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The food is so fresh and homemade. The pizza crust is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is an assortment of types of pizza, but the cheese pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is rich and delicious. It’s cooked perfectly and the vodka sauce is amazing. The appetizers, home brewed beer, and desserts are phenomenal too. Step aside Coopers Hawk, I have a new favorite restaurant!“

“This place is a gem. We stopped there today for lunch and I must say it was wonderful. The sashimi bap I ordered was d se o fresh, delicious, colorful and tasty, and my husband, who ordered a bibimbap said it was the best he’s ever had. And he had a lot. 😀
We live in Crystal Lake, but it’s absolutely worth the drive. See you soon and thank you.“
