50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Glen Carbon

“The Cabin at Judy Creek is one of those places that just *feels right* the moment you walk in. Whether you are heading out for a laid-back date night, catching up with friends, or just want a chill spot to grab a drink after work, this place nails it.

First off, the vibe is awesome. The building has a cozy, rustic look with tons of warm wood and soft lighting. Its big enough to feel lively but still has that tucked-away, hidden gem feel. If the weathers good, grab a table outside the patio is beautiful and perfect for a long evening of hanging out.

The food? Totally hits the spot. Their smoked meats and sandwiches are next-level, and the sides arent just filler everything is fresh and full of flavor. The appetizers are great for sharing (bacon-fat popcorn is a must-try), and the entrees come in generous portions thatll actually fill you up.

Drinks are another win. They keep a solid craft beer list and pour some excellent cocktails. The bartenders know their stuff and are happy to help you find something new.

And the staff ties it all together friendly, quick, and genuinely happy to have you there.

Bottom line: great food, great drinks, great people. Five stars, no question The Cabin is the kind of place youll keep coming back to.“

“The food and staff at 54th St in Glen Carbon are great but I REALLY HATE how after the remodel they can’t open the patio doors. What is the point of even saying you have a patio when it is all closed up.“

“My friend took me here for my birthday! I got a picture of my favorite hippy cow, and had a fantastic lunch with primo service from Kelsi and Andrew! Fantastic place! HIGHLY recommend!!“

“Always a favorite to visit! I wish there was a location closer to me in Shiloh but it's worth the drive. Nice staff, great food, fantastic teas.“

“I don’t even know where to start… every single thing that they serve is made with care and great quality ingredients!! My family is obsessed with Krutas and every time we introduce someone to it they fall in love too! The staff is very kind and happy to answer questions, the place is clean and well organized. You will always have our business!“

“We live 2 hours north and were in town for a Band Competition, we stopped in to eat. Our server Jordan was fabulous. With it being our first time there the manager sent us some free deviled eggs to sample! Highly recommend the deviled eggs, so tasty! They were a little busy with several parties and took a little longer to get our food but our server was attentive and apologetic for the wait. We were not mad or upset about the wait, totally understand when it’s busy. The manager gave us a free dessert for the wait. The customer service is top notch and they seem to care about the customers. And a plus that the food is delicious!!!! Highly recommend!! We will def be back!“

“They are always loving and caring employees! The atmosphere is so chill when you walk in. The food is excellent to the taste. It just saddens me cause I’m in Saint Louis and they aren’t open on the weekends 🥲the only time I can really get over there .“

“The food was delicious. We had reservations for later but they were able to accommodate us when we arrived early. Mitch, our server, was very helpful.“

“Passing through from Grand Rapids, MI. Great food and Weezy was a delight to chat with. Ashleigh our server was on point. The guys at the end of the bar that own a local farm and go there every Friday for the cod, well that was just a bonus to chat with them. Until our next pass through, Thanks!!“

“I order from this place specifically despite having several Chinese restaurants that are closer. The fried rice is the best I've had. The orange, bourbon, and general tsos chicken are all really good. They also work with people to make specialized orders. For example I am allergic to wheat and can't eat the breaded chicken. They make mine without the breading so that I can order the things I really want. I highly recommend.“

“Great place for bbq!“

“I don’t know what going on at the Pump house but things seem to be heading south. During the last several visits the service has not been good, especially if you’re not sitting at the bar. I’m sure they don’t have enough help like everywhere else. The steak I had this evening was luke warm at best. It looked like it had been setting on the counter at the grill for quite a while before it was brought out to our table. It’s probably time to start spending our money somewhere else.“

“I was at Peel Wood Fired Pizza in O’Fallon, IL on June 13, 2025. I got a pepperoni pizza, and it was delicious! On top of that, all of the staff that I saw were very professional. I strongly recommend Peel Wood Fired Pizza to anyone who likes pizza.“

“Super impressed by how fresh and attractive the food was“

“This is the place for Mexican food! Everything was perfect! And the service you won’t find a my better anywhere our server rae incredible, will be going back again and again if your in the area I would recommend you make time and try it“

“My 3 rd time here and it is Delicious!!“

“Tried Bann Thai for the first time today and if I lived closer (I'm in St. Charles, MO) I'd probably be there weekly! From the Crispy Spring Rolls and Egg Rolls to the Pad Thai and the Three Musketeers, my girlfriend and I spent a good hour just saying, "Oooh this is SO good!" Our waiter was super friendly and helpful--easily the best service I've had anywhere since the pandemic. 5 stars, 10/10, etc.! Like they say in the movies, "We'll be back!"“

“Very good food for a reasonable price and service was quick. Will be back!“

“We went to the drive through location. For a meal as solid as this, at a touch over 9 dollars, I was absolutely floored. I got their grilled chicken sandwich and was met with a level of ecstasy I’ve only achieved through extraneous substances.“

“¡La cerveza más fría de la ciudad!“

“We stopped in today for an early dinner and everything was so lovely! The bread, the salad, the pasta, the atmosphere and the service were all perfection. Kayla was our server and I can't express how wonderful she was. We can't wait to go back!“

“Kyoto Edwardsville has become our favorite hibachi spot in the area. We have been multiple times and it was a great experience each time.“

“I get delivery for pizza & salad, when I go to my sisters in Godfrey. Its delicious, can't wait for them to be closer to me👏👏“

“awesome Pollo zerape! as usual with good food often packed so I usually just order take out always ready in 10 minutes. I love this place!!!“

“Great place for friends and good times..“

“I wish they offered cal/nutritional information somewhere. Food is good. A little higher in price that outsource options but convenience and local support work.“

“The BEST! The food is absolutely perfect and authentic. Great service. 100% worth a little drive, and the market is amazing.“

“I’ve been here before and in the past the service wasn’t the best — I often felt like I was being met with an attitude and even charged extra for sweet and sour sauce when ordering multiple boxes of rice.

This time was a completely different experience. The rice was delicious, the service was great, and the lady who helped me was kind, polite, and even gave me extra sauce without hesitation. I ordered shrimp fried rice and it was excellent.

I’m really happy with how much better the service has gotten, and I’ll definitely be coming back more often!“

“this is the best Mexican restaurant in Missouri. Gabriel our waiter could not have been better. the food is great and we will travel to this restaurant again and again.“

“Take a chance and try anything on the menu. I've never been disappointed. Andy is our favorite waiter and makes the best suggestions.“

“Went there for first time recently. Service was great. Quiet and nice environment. The calamari was not good, quite chewy. Otherwise the rest of the food was great !“

“Mariachi’s Mi Tierra y Mas is the real deal. Best seafood platters in the state—seasoned perfectly, big portions, and always fresh. Gloria and the crew run a tight ship—fast, friendly, no BS.

Do yourself a favor and get the Presidenta margarita. This place delivers every time.

Don't bother with the other Mariscos in the area. You'll be disappointed“

“I do not recommend this place the first girl that waited on us today was nice. She was great asked us after 3 if she could check us out cause another girl was coming in we said yes. The other young lady asked my finance if he needed a beer and he said yes and we wanted a to go order also. That girl walked by us 3 times didn’t wait on us and threw her hair around like she didn’t give 2 shits.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food and service! Tim and I had Tienda El Ranchito tonight for dinner. Sarah was our waitress and she was amazing! Look for the girl with the gorgeous hair. The food was incredible, best Pico and homemade chips, my taco platter was divine and Tim had a seafood platter with fish, shrimp, scallops, and octopus in a delicious sauce. I even tried a beef tongue taco! I may never go back to ground beef ! 🫶🏻 Margarita and Chelada both on point! Wow! Outside of The Yucatán Peninsula best Mexican food and service we've had in years! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything was good“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“The cook, Lou, amazing job!“

“The food is absolutely amazing. The place was clean and the service was good!“

“This has to be one of the best Indian meals we have ever had. We called the day before for pickup the next afternoon. He was so helpful with deciding spice level for each dish. Everything was ready when we arrived and packed carefully so it stayed warm. We shared all dishes and loved every one. My favorite was the coconut curry chicken. They added complimentary wraps and rice pudding, which was absolutely delicious. So happy we found this place, so easy and absolutely loved how each dish was spiced differently and tasted homemade and fresh!“

“The food is pretty good. The salsa isn't industrial made like the other places. I have a problem with them automatically charging everyone with the 3% credit card fee even when paying with CASH.“

“We have not been back to this Cracker Barrel since our last bad experience. BUT tonight 5/31/2024. Halle was our server ❣️. Not only she was super busy she was attentive, smiled, courteous and gave super service KUDOS“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Best chips and salsa I have had n a long time!! My husband and I can’t wait to go back! Food was fire!!! 🙌🏻“

“Our large group (about 35) met at Linny’s for lunch gathering. It was the perfect venue for our group with great room setup. The food was delicious with great presentation. Our servers were absolutely amazing! With multiple orders, they fulfilled our requests while smiling the whole time. Linny’s is definitely a “let’s go there again” spot!“

“Love the food!!!!!! I would go more often but parking is a real problem!!!!!“

“The best experience!! We had a very large group after a funeral, and they were not expecting us. Areali was the only waitress at the time, but her and the staff made it smooth and seamless! Fantastic food and even better service! She not one time even looked stressed! We can’t thank you guys enough for making our time great after a hard morning! Highly recommend and definitely ask for Areali!!“
