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.“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“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♥️“

“Food was amazing! I ordered the hot braised chicken, special fried rice, Chicken St Paul sandwich and the fried wontons. The wontons were nice and thick and the flavor was great! The fried rice was cooked perfectly and they were not stingy with the meat! And I've finally had a great Saint Paul sandwich in Granite! I would recommend Lam's Garden to anyone in or coming through Granite City. Especially if you're looking for a great Saint Paul or some really good fried rice.“

“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!“

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

“The building is super cool and has a historic, very classy vibe, plus a nice patio. It was packed with people and there was even a line outside, so they are clearly the trendy spot right now. Good luck to them, but the prices really make you wonder. Why does it have to be so expensive? After all, it’s bread.
Because they are doing so well, they almost seem a bit indifferent to running out of stock. They were nearly completely out of bread when I went, and I was only able to buy four small loaves. Later on, I found one of their loaves at a shop on The Hill, but it cost me $8.50. For a loaf of bread, that feels a bit excessive.
To the owners: it might be worth looking at places like France, Italy, or Spain, which are great examples of how to make amazing, healthy bread at a much more reasonable price.
But yes, why not? I still recommend giving it a try!“

“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 😏“

“Flank steak & Short Ribs!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious. Hands down one of the better BBQ joints in the St. Louis area. Apple butter ribs were a major hit at work. 10/10 will go here again“

“We are in town visiting and found this spot, and we are so glad we did! Food was delicious, limited menu but locally sourced and delicious. The coffee was absolutely phenomenal! We sat at the coffee bar and loved watching them make the drinks. Overall great vibes, our server was incredible! Wish we had this in our hometown.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The food is phenomenal!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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 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“

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

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

“Written back in 2016 and moved here because I'm ditching Yelp. Hopefully they got the credit card thing sorted in the last decade.

We went to 3 places on this excursion and this one was my favorite. Why? Mainly because I could see myself spending a lot of time hanging out here. They have a great selection of beers, multiple seating areas (both indoor and outdoor), darts and a lot more. We sat outside for a while but moved into their loft area when the sun set.

I had 2 beers. The first was an American Pale Ale. It was slightly crisp and delicious. The second was their cask beer of the day or week. It was surprisingly creamy and rich in flavor.

Why only 4-stars? Mainly because it's 2016 and they are a cash-only business. Time to modernize!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Terrible parking but great food.“

“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🌟“

“I ordered while at work and walked over after closing up shop to realize that I was WAY early for my pickup order. The staff member at the counter did not make me feel silly for being early and fired my order early
Pizza head makes our city a better place. They feed the unhoused and folks in need as well as giving back to the community. So glad to be neighbors with them and enjoy their FIRE food
Xoxo“

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

“2nd Shift Brewing absolutely blew us away. Not only is their beer/seltzer’s incredible (seriously—every single one we served was a hit), but their generous donation of drinks for our school trivia night made a huge impact.

From the very beginning, their team was so communicative, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning an event can be stressful, and they made the entire process seamless. Their generosity truly helped make our event such a success.

And the beer itself—top tier. So flavorful, well-crafted, and a crowd favorite all night. We had so many people asking where it was from and raving about it.

2nd Shift is the kind of local business you want to support—amazing product, even better people. We are so grateful and can’t recommend them enough!“

“We just finished eating here and the food was absolutely terrific! With the convention going on it took a little longer then expected to get our food but it was fresh, hot and 100% worth the wait. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that likes Thai! I had the Drunken Noodles and my wife had the Pad Thai.“

“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.“

“Always a good time with friends!“

“Big Momma Cinnamon Roll & Blueberry lemon cinnamon roll > peanut butter cup bar > fauxstess > Maine Event (choc chip cookie) > red velvet cupcake > brownie > lemon bar > chai snickerdoodle cookie

The blueberry lemon cinnamon roll was superb! You could tell they used fresh, high quality blueberries on top of the cinnamon roll, and it was the perfect garnish on a
what was an already fantastic cinnamon roll. If I could review SweetArt solely for their cinnamon rolls, they are 100% worthy of a five star review. If you’re looking for a cinnamon roll in Midtown, there’s no better place to get it!

I didn’t get the same vibrant lemon experience in the lemon bar that I got with the blueberries in the blueberry lemon cinnamon roll, which was a little disappointing. And the snickerdoodle wasn’t quite as moist as I expected, but otherwise I thought everything I ate was very well made.

I generally don’t comment about the service at the bakeries I review, but the staff here was very friendly and helpful. In terms of service, I would definitely give the service five stars. The man working the counter even asked me which brownie and cinnamon roll I would like which is not something that I think anyone has ever asked me before at a bakery.“

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

“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+++++. 👍👍“

“Fabulous food. So glad they have re-opened“

“We had dinner with friends here last night and it was fantastic. The shrimp toast was incredible. Scallops were fantastic. We had quite a list of different dishes and they were all great! Didn’t get pictures of it all but here’s some of what we had!“

“Amazing food, atmosphere, service, great quality and quantity for what you pay for and the dessert section is huge! My new favorite place“
