14 Best Vegan Restaurants in Forest Park

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“I had a wonderful breakfast here early this morning around 6:20am, and I just wanted to say how great the experience was. Nancy was very nice, and everyone I interacted with was friendly. It honestly felt like one of those places where everybody knows everybody — a very homey, welcoming atmosphere.

The restaurant was extremely clean, including the bathrooms, which were well-lit and well-maintained. I’ve seen some negative reviews about the “rules,” but I didn’t have any issues at all. To me, they’re just letting you know clearly how they run things. If someone has a problem with authority, I guess they might take it the wrong way — but I personally had zero problems and thought everything was straightforward and respectful.

Overall, my visit was perfect. Great food, great people, and a really comfortable environment. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful morning!

I also want to mention that I ordered my eggs over hard, and they came out perfect — not runny at all like some places tend to do. Everything was cooked exactly the way I asked.“

“An enjoyable restaurant to eat“

“This place is amazing no matter your age!! My peeps from England loved it!!!! So much had to goo back a 2nd time before going bk home. Food was Lovely a long with the beverages and of course the train!!! Great service and great food 💯“

“You won’t be disappointed 🔥❤️“

“A longtime gem. Under newer ownership, the food is just as good as the original. Check out the freezer filled with an assortment of their amazing soups! Service isn't the fastest, but food is prepared as ordered. Decor is fun (Star Trek!), although starting to show its age (the poster of Mr Spock in the ladies room is getting ragged). Parking is a bear, many of the nearby spots must be paid online.“

“Petra Falafel is my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in the area. Their chicken shawarma platter is a masterpiece, and the garlic, jalapeno, and habanero sauces are very tasty, be sure to order extras! Their portions are generous, often leaving me with leftovers for at least another full meal. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We always order for pick up, but they do have a dining area and I believe they are also BYOB. Next time you are craving falafel, baba ghanoush or shawarma give Petra Falafel a try - you will not be disappointed!“

“My daughter had the cheese sticks and fries. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The fries are definitely so good.. my chicken sandwich seemed like it was made sloppy with that lettuce. Just throw it all over there and two pieces of chicken breast. No cheese.
And that was it. The location is decent and the restaurant was clean. 🫶🏿“

“Shanahan's is one of my favorite places in Forest Park, I moved from Forest Park a few years ago but I still go to Shanahan's every chance I get. Their food is always excellent and they have the best staff on the street, they always remember my name and my order. I will give them more than 5 stars if I could!!“

“My adorable little niece turned 3 over the weekend and she could not get over her Barbie cake made by you guys!! Aside from the cake completely nailing the Barbie theme, it also tasted amazing!! Prior to this, my husband and I who live in Oak Park, have only frequented The Brown Cow for ice cream and shakes but now we will absolutely be coming here for cakes for special events!!!“

“Great food and the drinks wow“

“great food..... can't wait until you're fully open again.“

“I stumbled across Tacabron on my way home from downtown Forest Park. It looked interesting but I just had dinner so it made my want to go list. Fast forward a couple of months and my brother and I decided to give it a try. I had fish tacos and my brother got a steak burrito. The fish tacos were grilled tilapia with a hint of lime. They were so good I ordered a second order to take home and share with the husband. I have been back a few times since trying new things off the menu. Tonight our server greeted our table with chips and salsa; the salsa was so tasty we ordered some to go home. We had a steak quesadilla to share. The steak was tender and substantial. It was actual steak cooked medium and I think it was Oaxaca cheese, I highly recommend. I also had the enchilada dinner, this really brought me back to my trips to Mexico. I chose the green salsa as my stomach can not take spicy. You have a choice of steak, chicken, cheese, or Veggie ( grilled squash). I chose one of each steak, chicken, and Veggie. My dining friends both had burritoes chicken and the other asked if they could do the tilapia in a burritoes and they dud. Both were excellent. The interior is casual and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is BYOB. I still have much of their menu to explore.“

“Been there twice still impressed with their excellent fast food and customer service. Very clean, beautiful, quiet and relaxing atmosphere. I’ve only been there in the mornings during the week so prob least amount of crowd.“
