50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Elburn

“I really like the friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is well lit and decorated. The servers were welcoming and attentive. Oh, and yes, the food was great. 😀“

“A gem in the heart of Elburn! Very good food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. They also have a nice outdoor patio. I had the reuben which was great and my son had their pork tenderloin. We both enjoyed the food and said we'd come back again if were in the area!“

“This is the 2nd time we've been here. It was alright. The tots were amazing. Other than that, we know they were shorthanded, but it was 3 of us and another party of 5. It seemed odd that the owner would leave the restaurant understaffed. We sat near the open garage door. It was a nice day but the elderly lady, who clearly didn't need a cigarette, stood right in front. I'm also not a huge fan of non-service animals walking through a place that serves food. The server is friendly and as attentive as she could be considering the situation.“

“15/10, this place is AMAZING.
fried elote is PURE GENIUS, the salsa is FANTASTIC, your puffs are magical little fried pieces of heaven & the friendliest, most pleasant service you could ask for! the gentleman behind the counter was so polite and so welcoming, it made the experience even better. we will be back very very soon!“

“Dough nuggets are awesome. Sauces all good.
Ordered a thin crust just cheese. Was greacy, undercooked and just not good. But I've had Rosaties many times and will keep coming back. Let's cook it just a little longer next time!!“

“Chef Abdul and his family run an amazing business! You can really taste the love and passion they put into every dish. The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and served with a smile. It’s more than just a meal, it feels like you’re part of their family. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful family business.“

“What a fabulous restaurant, we dined here last night... drinks are exquisite, food is divine... We had a salad that was out of this world with Goats Cheese followed by Bangers and Mash for him and Salmon No 1 for me... The rolls and lavender butter were very tasty... the female server was full of personality and smiles, such a sweetie. We highly recommend this great restaurant.“

“Went there for the first time yesterday and everything from the atmosphere to service was great 👍🏽 I got the octopus as an appetizer and the market fish stew and it was excellent. drinks were delicious as well. I'll be back.“

“We held my father’s Celebration of Life at Fireside Grille, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. When the manager, Zach, learned the reason for our gathering, he immediately went out of his way to make it possible even though the private room were already reserved. The entire team was wonderful to work with, the food was absolutely amazing, and everyone kept commenting on how delicious everything was. Our server, Lupe, was superb as always as well as the rest of the staff. Everyone was attentive, kind, and professional. I highly recommend Fireside Grille for any celebration or special occasion. They truly went above and beyond for our family.“

“Their food is absolutely the BEST out there. Friendly staff and delicious food ❤️….. Thank you for being so consistent too“

“The food and service was excellent! Easily one of our favorite restaurants! We definitely will be back soon!“

“My wife and I have been looking around for a good fish fry and we finally found it beer battered walleye. We will keep going back on Friday nights great place to eat.“

“What a great place. Ok so their beers are very unique. My wife and I both really enjoy this spot. Their menu is very extensive. See image. Also their hazy IPAs are amazing. Worth trying. They also change their beers quite often but they consistently have a great taste. So recommending a specific beer isn't really helpful but a style of beer I definitely recommend trying their IPAs and Hazy IPAs.

Update on 9/20/2025: still amazing“

“Syrup is easily the best breakfast and lunch spot in Aurora. The food is consistent which is sometimes hard to find and the flavors are always spot on. Big fan of the Loaded Potato Cakes with Tillamook Cheddar, but yesterday I found a new favorite in the Chicken & Waffles Deluxe. Their omelets are always huge and packed with ingredients. The Billion Dollar Bacon is also amazing.“

“We've been going there for awhile and lately it just seems like a better place! Best service, food quality is better, drinks are great, and very reasonable!“

“I had a really enjoyable meal. The place has a casual, welcoming vibe, and the menu offers a great variety of Thai and Lao favorites. We started with the spring rolls, which were fresh, crisp, and served with a tasty dipping sauce .The drunken noodles were a standout—packed with flavor, slightly spicy, and perfectly balanced with veggies and noodles cooked freshly.

Another highlight was the papaya salad. It was refreshing, and tangy.
Honestly, it was one of the best papaya salads I’ve had in a while. The Panang curry with tofu was creamy and aromatic, a comforting dish that paired beautifully with steamed rice. The tofu soaked up the curry flavors nicely, making every bite delicious.

I ordered a cold Thai tea, which was sweet, smooth, and refreshing—perfect alongside the spicier dishes. Overall, the food was flavorful, portions were generous, and everything tasted freshly prepared. It’s definitely a spot worth visiting , with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options.“

“Bien servicio y la comida muy sabrosa, totalmente familiar“

“Food is deliciously prepared. Servers are courteous and in a friendly mood! 👏🏽🤝“

“Did GrubHub and food was hot and ready on time. We got pad Thai, orange chicken, dragon & phoenix and a few other things. Portions were decent and containers were full and packed well with oranges and broccoli to add color. We ordered mostly mild and one medium spice level. Mild was indeed mild and just really lacked flavor… it was ok, just not great. I’d definitely try it again with more spice to see if it alters the flavors.“

“Just moved to the area and after trying LOTS of Italian spots, Antonio's has quickly become our favorite! :)“

“Always, always great food and service. Reasonable price, clean and friendly“

“From the moment we stepped into Old Republic Kitchen & Bar we knew we chose the right place to celebrate. We hosted my husband's retirement party here, and the evening was nothing short of spectacular! The atmosphere is perfect blend of rustic warmth and modern charm. We were greeted with friendly smiles and impeccable service from the ENTIRE staff. From drink orders to desserts, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The party menu was perfect, beautifully presented and the food was outstanding! What really set Old Republic apart was how well they accommodated our group. They helped us throw a retirement party that was personable, joyful and truly unforgettable! A special thank you to Jorge for coordinating every detail of our event; and to Chef for the beautiful presentation of food and the entire staff who made our party a success! We are forever grateful! We highly recommend Old Republic Kitchen & Bar for parties, special occasions, or just a great night out!“

“We had rented the back room to films few scenes for our film and also had pizza for the cast and crew. Tanya who was our waitress and coordinator for the setup in the back room was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly and helpful with everything. You can tell she loves her job since she was always smiling. You have a great worker with Tanya. Also, the cast and crew loved the pizza and salads.“

“We have always been happy with Rosati’s in Sugar Grove. My son is a pizza-holic! :) He has very high standards for his pizza and his favorite is Rosati’s.

What really put things over the top was the nice little extra attention to detail. The sushi rolls were fresh, the Gyoza was awesome, the sauce that came with the Katsu Chicken was amazing - and even the shredded cabbage on the side was great! We are already planning our next visit.“

“Went here for the first time today and the food was great. The Pad Thai slapped, the lunch special was a good value. What more do you want? 5 stars. I loved the portrait on the wall of the Thai military dude. Great ambience. It had a cigar and some whiskey under it to comfort him in the afterlife. Please do the same for me when I go.“
