50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lake Barrington

“Our book club had a meeting here and it was amazing! Everyone was super accommodating, the food and room were great and we had an overall great time!! We hope to be back again soon!“

“We stopped in for a late lunch. Got really lucky and missed the lunch crowd. Our waitress, Michelle, only had 2 tables to help so she was able to provide great service and some great conversation as well. The food is incredible. Overall, an awesome experience. I'll definitely be back. When you go, ask for one of Michelle's tables. She's awesome!“

“We came tonight for the first time for my husband’s birthday. Food was so good. Service was excellent! The cook even came out to ask us how our food was. We will be back!“

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.“

“I took my boys here on a Saturday at around 4:30 after a trip to the Volo museum. We were immediately greeted by a friendly, knowledgeable and attentive waitress. The appetizer plate had the best onion rings and these creamy smoky bacon Gouda Mac n cheese bites that were to die for! Pan pizza came out as a deep dish and my teenager loved it. My oldest and I got the rib and broasted chicken combo…. OMG No regrets! The chicken was seasoned well with a delicious, crispy, light breading and the ribs were fall off the bone scrumptious with a perfect smoky/sweet bbq sauce. Do NOT skip the peach cobbler!! The warm, crispy peaches and streusel topping tasted like it was made with love. What a great place and we absolutely love our server. She was engaging and knew the menu. Will definitely return!“

“Vince and his crew do a great job and the Pizza is delicious- would recommend 100% of the time- and they serve RC Cola!“

“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back“

“The brisket was the best part; then the pudding bread, rib tip Mac & cheese and Sausage. The sticky sprouts are the cherry on top. I saved the 3 pcs of Pig Candy for when I get home.“

“Kane County best bbq spot! Some of the best pulled pork, brisket and rib tips we have ever had. Everything made that day by hand & on the smokers. Highlighting East Dundee train heritage, they are located in the caboose in downtown. Walk up to the window and enjoy absolutely everything on the menu! Our local go to dinner spot, with something for everyone. The sides are all stellar Reasonable prices, large portions and lip smacking food- HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“We have been there twice. My 6 year old had a blast both times. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The coffee is delicious. One part that stood out to me both times is how well the parents monitor their children. We’ve been to similar places and had a few issues bullying. I’m not sure if it’s the layout but here you’ll see the parents actively watching, and even engaging with their kids. Thank you for providing such a safe place for our kids to play.“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“Best sushi ever, great hospitality, I recommend the Salmon Sunset. I can never get sushi anywhere else, this place is a hidden gem!! 10/10“

“Great place for breakfast“

“My wife and I stopped in at the Lake Zurich location this past Saturday, 1/11. We definitely loved the beer and the establishment. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They also had a great wood fire pizza food truck. I highly recommend Phase 3. We will definitely stop back in..“

“EXCELLENT food! Don’t think you can go wrong ordering any of the dishes. Staff are very friendly and pay attention. I got bulgogi fries and chicken katsu k-bowl. Both phenomenal but the bulgogi fries are great value! Highly recommend.

Environment is also nice, you can tell they spent some $$$ on certain chairs, lighting, fixtures so the place looked nice.“

“Our family’s favorite pizza in Barrington. Always great food!“

“We pulled up in our boat and the staff helped us to tie up our boat.
They sat us down right away.
The wait staff was very friendly.
The Pulled Pork sandwich and the Turkey Wrap along with the Bang Bang Shrimp were delicious. Great food and Great Service 👍 👌 😀“

“Still the best burger around“

“The best brewery around focused on traditional German and English beers like Bitter, Marzen and Maiboch.“

“Beer-battered shrimp tacos, with their special topping, plus we added a slice of avocado, was what we had for dinner tonight. My husband stopped midway through his meal and said this was the BEST TACOS …and guacamole! Thank you Taco Shop!!!“

“Amazing food and even better service ❤️ Raul’s really makes the best tacos I’ve ever had and I could eat them everyday. But they are always suggesting new things for me to try and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Whether it’s a first time guest or a regular customer they greet everyone like family dropping by for dinner. The food is so good my friends from out of state talk about it long after they go back home. All I can say is If you haven’t had Raul’s you are missing out!“

“If you’re searching for a taco spot that genuinely lives up to the hype, this is it. From the very first bite, you can tell they’ve mastered their craft—every taco is packed with juicy, perfectly seasoned meat and layered with bold, vibrant flavors that hit all the right notes. Nothing feels rushed or generic; everything tastes intentional and seriously satisfying. And then there are the gorditas—easily the standout. Rich, and stuffed to perfection, they’re the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you’ve left. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong here. Every item on the menu delivers the same level of quality and flavor, making it one of those rare places where you want to try everything. Bottom line: this spot isn’t just good—it’s a must. Whether you’re a taco lover or just someone who appreciates incredible Mexican food, you’ll leave already planning your next visit.“

“We had an amazing dinner and service with my two daughters for the youngest 8th grade graduation. They treated us like queens and we ate like it also!!“

“Stop! If you miss it, turn around! You’ll go, “Really? Golf balls and good food?” Yep, leave the clubs home - too cold for that - and don’t whiz by without stopping for a bite. There’s a reason so many cars are parked in the lot. The locals get it. Be a local!“

“Just had eggs and house potatoes so I can't opine on the food overall except to say the potatoes were so hard and dry I didn't even finish, and potatoes in their various forms are usually my favorite part of breakfast.
Ambiance and service were good, though I wish the server had mentioned that you pay up front. Took us awhile to figure out he wasn't coming back to take our card“

“Thank you!!! Staff was amazing as we celebrated the life and loss of our family member. Service⭐️ Food⭐️“

“If you're looking for a great breakfast for a fair price, it would be hard to beat @alker Brothers. The service is always exceptional, the ambiance is elegant, but comfortable and the food is excellent. They have pancakes for every taste (my favorite are the buckwheat). The omlets and crepes are amazing. If you are in the Chicago area, look for the closest Walker Brothers. You will not be disappointed.“

“Friendly staff, great food!“

“Phenomenal in a true gem in the Hoffman Estates area. The crabcake is to die for. Some of the best sushi that I’ve eaten all around. Very reasonably priced super tentative staff. If you have the opportunity to eat here, take it.“

“My previous review was accidentally deleted by me, but let me just say that this is by far the best bar around the Chicagoland area. Firstly, let me start by raving about Colleen, the GOAT of bartenders! She is an absolute sweetheart! From the first day she made me feel at home! If you are new, she goes up to you, introduces herself and hands you a napkin. She has the most awesome and proper etiquette for the hospitality industry. Colleen is an absolute godsend! I do not know a single person who badmouths her. She also makes the best margaritas and rums/cokes! She remembers your name as wel and starts calling you by your name on the second day. The other bartenders are amazing as well. On Tuesdays and Thursdays when I go in, Lisa remembers my drink and food order. She is also a gem as well! As far as the food goes, the chicken bacon ranch wrap is one of the best I have ever eaten. The Cheddar Cheese burger is amazing as well. Seriously this place is a great find. As far as the reviews calling this place racist are concerned, to each their own: I have never had any issues and I am disabled and asian that is like a double negative. It is the most inclusive place around town!“

“We had dinner here last weekend, and as always the service and ambiance were outstanding. However, I ordered the special cut up version of their ribeye steak, and while prepared perfectly, the quality of the cut did not meet my expectations. At least 30% of the portion was inedible gristle, making the $48 price point a poor value. I would not order this steak again.“

“We went to Woodfire for my birthday. The food and service is excellent. Vicki was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The food is so fresh and homemade. The pizza crust is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is an assortment of types of pizza, but the cheese pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is rich and delicious. It’s cooked perfectly and the vodka sauce is amazing. The appetizers, home brewed beer, and desserts are phenomenal too. Step aside Coopers Hawk, I have a new favorite restaurant!“

“Celebrated with family and couldn't believe the SPECTACULAR birthday treat! While most restaurants are cutting back, this Rosati's in Hoffman Estates TREATED us with a huge dessert! Enough for all to enjoy! And their daily specials are the best. Our server Kaitlyn was so thoughtful and made us feel so welcome. Don't miss out on this hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“Great place, great people, great food!!!“

“Best food in the county, hands down.“

“I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“Such a great menu and unique items! We tried as much as we could in one meal and will definitely be back. Our server Abbie was awesome.“

“They always take care of us when we come in every Sunday. Great staff all around and always great food!“

“Family and I had some great food tonight. Large portions too. Will be back.“

“Great food. Fresh, not overcooked. Nice menu, not too big. Better than Egg Harbor!! Need more locations!“

“This is a gem. I wish I lived closer as I would eat here regularly. The menu is a bit meat and tree nut heavy which concerned me but the sole special was delicious and the Gelato was lovely though the portion was too large. The prices were very fair. I suggest you try this restaurant!“

“You can bring dog. Fast and good service.“

“my favorite local spot:) every dish is reliable and good every time , and the best thing truly is the prices , you can’t go anywhere else around here and get the same atmosphere or quality for the price of a good meal here . the cashier juan is always so kind and positive , i look forward to stopping by here :) horchata is delicious btw“

“Love all their selections! Something for everyone. Great events all the time and their Oktoberfest is one of the best I have ever had! Love all the staff!“

“Had an amazing birthday party in the upstairs room. We had the taco buffet and it was delicious! Service was excellent and everything looked beautiful. They let us come in early to decorate and we were able to play our own music. I would recommend highly for a special occasion!“

“We had a wonderful meal and very friendly staff! The crab rangoon was crispy and delicious, and the egg rolls were some of the best we've had. The moo shu pork was full of flavor, the barbecue pork with pea pods was excellent, and the beef with broccoli was tender and cooked perfectly. Everything was fresh, hot, and generously portioned.
We'll definitely be back!“

“My husband and I have been coming here for dates since we were 17. 20 years later, it’s still our go-to spot and now our kids beg for us to bring them. Great atmosphere, great food, and friendly staff - we love it here!“

“I call ahead and pick up a bag of tacos omw home for easy dinner on tuesdays. Always so good!“
