50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Granite City

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

“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.“

“Went here for breakfast it did not disappoint The country fried steak was perfect, the hash browns crisp, eggs omed was spot on toast was still warm. It doesn’t get any better than this folks Hat off to the cook♥️“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“I'm convinced Lam's Garden has the best Chinese food in the midwest. Let me paint you a picture: You drive up, it looks rundown, and you just know this is going to be the best Chinese food of your life. The fried rice is never a mildly flavored mush, like it can be in so many other places. It's rice and green onions and egg and protein and a lot of flavor. The crab rangoon is some of the best I've ever had. The wontons are fresh, never too chewy, and the cream cheese has a hint of sweetness, but it much more savory than a lot of places. Overly sweet crab rangoon is the worst. Every time I've eaten at Lam's Garden, the food has been consistently incredible. I highly, highly recommend trying it.“

“Some of the best food I’ve had comparable to ESTL. I will be gate keeping. Absolutely Fire St. Paul’s and Fried Rice. Seasoned to perfection. They understand the assignment. Will forever be my new favorite. I finally found what I’ve been looking for.“

“Wow! Amazing 😍
We ordered spaghetti with meatballs which was fantastic! But we also ordered a meat lovers pizza with green peppers black olives and added cut pepperoni and had the pizza cooked well-done minus spicey 🔥 honey 🍯
They gave a courtesy call ahead of time to let us know the accidently put honey on it before we came to pick it up, they corrected their mistake but let us keep and try the messup hot honey pizza anyways and it was very good! Excellent service and amazing food! Highly recommend Imos in Granite City Illinois!“

“One of my all-time favorite restaurants for lunch or pizza take-out. My top picks: little gem salad, toscano or trout sandwich, blueberry lemon soda, and soft pretzel with butter. For dinner, their pepperoni and spinach pizzas are my faves. Their chocolate chip cookies are also amazing!“

“Flank steak & Short Ribs!“

“Incredible food, cocktails and service. Their French onion soup is to die for. Lovely place with great atmosphere, highly recommend!“

“Any adjective to describe their ribs is an understatement!!!“

“Great food and fantastic cocktails. The BLT with a fried egg add goat cheese DELICIOUS“

“AMAZING food and incredible service. Jeff, our server, was very friendly and welcoming. He took his time walking us through the menu and answering all of our questions. The sushi here is next level and unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. My wife and I cannot stop talking about our experience here!“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“Very good food. Great, friendly service. Good amout of options. Felt like homemade vs restaurant food and the ice cream is delicious. Will definitely be back.“

“a great place for friends to game, professional team building, you name it. loved it there. the art deco interior is beautiful.“

“Songbird is a lovely place. The owner truly cares, the food is consistently excellent, the service is impeccable, and the restaurant is beautifully designed. I'm grateful for my time there and highly recommend stopping by! Best coffee in town.“

“just got back from our tour! such great fun! we loved the tour. We look forward to coming back on a Friday night for some fun and drinks! We loved our tasting!“

“Food is great and served in reasonable time. The waitress could be more attentive to patrons seeing that the tip is added to the bill and paid before even receiving food. I asked for something and she forgot and brought it to the table 15 minutes later after I was almost done with meal. Had to ask for water, waitress only filled up my husband’s glass not mine and both were pretty much empty and I wasn’t even asked if I wanted more water. Hopefully this is read and improved on my return visit. It least it shows me how to tip next time 😏“

“The food is phenomenal!!!!“

“They care about the community just as much as they do about coming up with new creative and tasty food. An all around good place. Unless you don't like scary movies and gothic decor then get your order to go and you'll still love them.“

“We wanted Italian food and we decided to go on the hill to Zia‘s. We ordered pasta dishes, which was extremely nice portion size. The bread was delicious when you dip it in olive oil. I also had the French martini which was delicious. I think if you have a taste for Italian food pasta, you couldn’t find a better place.“

“We had a very fun time playing Tuesday night trivia with our three kids. Great bites, good beers, excellent service & friendly atmosphere. 10/10 recommended!“

“Literally the best breakfast food my husband and I have ever had!! Cute diner, with super sweet and personable staff. Highly recommend!!“

“Great cocktails, food, and service. Maggie was a great waitress!“

“I have been wanting to get here for several years, and we finally made it, tonight, to Anthonino's Taverna, a short distance from Rob's place. (Fun fact, this place has been spotlighted twice on Guy Fieri's Food Channel Show. I can now see why. 🥰) Well, I wish I had made it here sooner. But, that's behind us, and tonight was a delicious, and delightful night. Our waitress, Bailee, had the excellent insight to know it takes awhile to decide on a drink, and dinner choices. It doesn't matter if you read the menu online or not. Changes are always added. She gave us the grace to settle in for a few minutes. She gave us enough time to settle in so we could make our choices. Rob had a Kona Wave draft, and I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Bailee brought us bread made, and baked on The Hill with great quality olive oil, and herbs for dipping. Rob ordered the lasagna, and I opted for the Tutti de Mare with seafood, garlic, butter, and olive oil. My dinner was delicious, and made with freshly made pasta, and a perfect mix of perfectly cooked wild caught seafood of mussels,shrimp, clams, and squid. Rob's lasagna also featured freshly made pasta sheets, Anthonino's red sauce, sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese. I tasted it, and it's your pick here if you love lasagna. Homemade taste that brought me back to my grandmother's and my mother's tables. 🥰❤️ I also felt welcomed, and comfortable as soon as I walked through the door. Italian girl here, and I would highly recommend this place for the food, drinks, the customer service, and the ambiance. I am already planning to come back on my next trip here. Anthonino's Taverna“

“Had a wonderful lunch here. Never had Persian food. I ordered the Aash stew, lamb biryani, and chai.The stew was wonderful and refreshing. The lamb shank w biryani was fall of the bone. Such magical flavors in the lamb. The chai was such a great addition. Its fresh made not instant. Service was exceptional by the owner and he was so thankful to my compliments. For those whom do not know about Persia, it is a culture in Iran. Do yourself a favor and give the small business a try.“

“I want to extend my deep gratitude to the great Hostess last Saturday afternoon who kindly went above and beyond her responsibilities not only as a host but as a human being by letting me (offering!) charge my lon foot and had a dead phone. It was about 4 pm and the place was slightly busy (almost outside full and inside) but not much else was around the area so my hunch and restaurant experience tells me they’re doing everything right: good food, good prices and good staff. The atmosphere is inviting, unpretentious and sort of a homey, cozy n stylish flair. I would’ve rather stayed and ate but thankfully the hostess helped me on my way. thank you for helping and not being annoyed when I asked for directions twice! (Also,“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere, & great vibes!!!“

“Jake the owner has honestly the best beers in town and he'll make it a point to come talk to each and every person who comes in the Civil Life man I love this place and it has a old British atmosphere.Not enough kind words to say about this place.“

“Our wedding in February 2024 was a dream come true! Grbic helped make our day absolutely perfect. Leija was incredibly knowledgeable, easy to work with and quick to respond to all of our needs. The ceremony was held on the covered patio space and the reception in the Luxe Room which is gorgeous! The homemade food was delicious and the staff were all so friendly and fun. We were able to borrow almost all of our decor from their closet which was an added bonus. We are so happy we chose Grbic!“

“Has gluten free options, healthy fresh food and drink options. Love the staff and ambiance. I Always shop for plants or gifts in their gift shop after eating.“

“Wonderful food! Wonderful atmosphere! Wonderful owners! highly recommend.“

“Terrible parking but great food.“

“We were just visiting from Iowa and wanted our favorite kind of food…Thai! We had the drunkin noodles and I still can not get over how fabulous those were!!!! We also had fried rice and it all together was a 10/10 experience. We did come close to closing and they still were very professional and not kicking anyone out the sign was turned to close and they were still asking people that were in there if they needed water or anything. That will be our go to next time we travel!!!!“

“The waiter was excellent! The food was amazing. The entire staff did a awesome job with greeting and service! I will definitely be back🎉🥰“

“Favazza’s is a well-known and respected Italian spot on “The Hill”, St. Louis’ Italian Neighborhood filled with old delis, charming markets and upscale Italian restaurants. Our extended family is a big fan of Favazza’s, so we go from time to time with them. We went last week with my Aunt & Uncle, and it was great. The dining room(s) are charming, but getting a bit dated, in all honesty. Since it’s on “The Hill”, it’s not necessarily an issue, but in any other neighborhood, I think others would agree with me that it needs some sprucing up. Regardless, the ambiance has a fancy and classy feel to it. The service we had was fine. Everyone is dressed up and respectful, but sometimes the service lacks personality at these places because they’re so worried about being “ritzy”. This is the case we had last week. Regardless, also a fine experience in this category. The food was DELICIOUS last week. We started with the Toasted Ravioli. You can tell it’s the real-deal — the filling is excellent. Our entrees were also phenomenal. I got the Chicken Limone and it was tangy and luscious. Genuinely one of the best Italian dishes I’ve had before. The dinner salads, side pasta and phenomenal garlic bread were an added bonus. Favazza’s may be older and their service may lack personality, but their food is nothing to scoff at. A very solid 4 Stars from me.“

“Pizza head is the best. They make delicious vegan pizza and vegan cookies. The Diet Coke is always crispy cold. Every employee has been so kind. They also saved our wedding reception when our vegan deli caterer canceled catering 3 days before the event. We are so glad y'all exist!“

“After visiting the Fox Theater on Saturday we had reservations for 6. Our table was ready and our server Wendy was absolutely delightful. Our drinks, appetizers, dinner(fresh pasta) and desserts did not disappoint. The manager stopped by twice to check on us. Incredible! We wanted to bring Wendy home with us but we had to have her back by Wednesday! We can’t wait to return!!!! 10🌟“

“Doesnt look promising as you turn on but keep going. The beer was much better than expected and the staff was very friendly. They have a small but unique onsite kitchen (Mess Hall) and loads of space indoors and outdoors. This is a worthwhile stop.“

“Our first experience here was nothing shy of amazing. The service was incredible, even with a bar full of pub crawlers. The food was so delicious and we cannot wait to go back.“

“Had a wonderful experience! Delicious coffee and nice staff!“

“Always a good time with friends!“

“For a casual place this had one of the best waiters ever. It was this young guy that I didn't expect to be super attentive cuz Unfortunately The Stereotype is that they won't be. But he barely even had to talk to us he just anticipated our every need and fulfilled it and went on about his business. We didn't even have to ask for to go boxes.

Oh, the food, the bread pudding definitely lives up to its reputation.“

“Absolutely amazing! The food and drinks were outstanding and the service was even better. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Can’t wait to go back. If you’re looking for a nice restaurant with the best food, this is it!“

“We went here after seeing it on Netflix Fresh, Fried and Crispy. Let me begin by saying I am not vegan, I just love food. It did not disappoint! The chikn tasted like real chicken. The crispy breading was golden and flavorful and the fries were amazing! They were sprinkled in a spice blend that wasn't over powering.

Even if you're not vegan, I would highly recommend checking this place out.“

“First time going and loved the vibe/decore!!! Met the owner and so enjoyed her and the hospitality!!! Definitely will be going back!! The food/drinks/music was so enjoyable!!!“

“I went to Pizzeoli last night with a group of friends and had an amazing dining experience. We started off with the Deep Fried Chanterelles and Chili-kissed Garlic Knots - the chantrellles were delicious and came with a chili ranch sauce that I would love bottled for home use. The garlic knots were a cut above your normal pizza place fare - melted in my mouth and garlic to butter proportions were perfectly balanced. It should be noted that their drink menu is extensive (along with their pizza menu - so many great options!). I chose the Athletic Cerveza - a great Non-alcoholic beer that ranks as a personal fav. I also like that Pizzeoli had multiple NA options as a non-drinker. On to the main course - my group chose the Andy (a current special with white sauce and mushrooms), the Lumberjack Snack (pep and bacon on red sauce) and the Meatball pizza (as recommended per their chef - meatballs on white sauce!). All three were delicious and cooked to perfection - the right amount of bubbles in the perfectly thin curst. I kept trying to choose a favorite and couldn't decide - would personally recommend a white sauce pizza but the red was also awesome! The grand finale was a banana split dessert pizza and ice cream sandwiches. A hot dessert pizza with the perfect cool toppings, I'd stop in just for an after meal treat some time. The ice cream sandwiches were delectable and fun to share with the table too. The atmosphere of Pizzeoli transported me to a simpler time when going to a neighborhood pizza place meant a friendly staff, unique decorations (check out the light shades over the tables!) and quality craftsmanship. A new favorite - highly recommend!“

“Here in St. Louis. On our way to Maui. Phil and the staff very helpful and friendly. Food was amazing , many different flavors. The sauces really spiked our taste buds. A+++++. 👍👍“
