50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lake Bluff

“The food is so fresh and the environment is so warm. Many try to hit the mark with this type of menu and fail to deliver as great of an all around experience. The service is attentive and kind. Willing to travel to experience this small treasure!Dietary restrictions: Great option for a gluten free sandwich!“

“Our family stopped in for the Gus’ famous Friday Fish Fry. We had the cod and perch!!!! Super fresh and crunchy!!! Came with homemade coleslaw, choice of potato and a cup of their delicious clam chowder! Service was outstanding! Prices were very reasonable! And, it was so nice to see several families dining there with their Navy graduates!!! Make sure to leave room for one of their mouthwatering desserts! We shared the carrot cake and apple blossom! Great value! Family friendly!“

“We went to their location in Libertyville all the time. Heartbroken when it closed. So glad they have this location. Best chimichanga ever. No on come close.“

“We used to live in Libertyville and came here all the time. Moved into the city in 2019 but still made the trip, albeit not as often. We always loved their tacos; the ingredients were fresh and flavorful and the quality was superb.We stopped by this week and it was definitely not the same. The steak was ok but it tasted exactly like the kind you can get at any other taco place. I can’t explain it except to say the magic was missing. Gone was that unique appeal that had us craving their tacos time and time again. Maybe it was just an off day, but if their recipe has changed for good, it’s doubtful we’ll be back. And that makes me very, very sad.“

“Went here the other night with a family group of 15 people, on a Sunday an hour before they close. They had every reason to be total jerks to us but our waiter was fantastic. He accommodated everything above and beyond and we made sure we threw in extra money for the tip just because of it. Food was outstanding. I don't even really like specialty pizza all that much but it was really good. Highly recommend the Philly cheesesteak with the nacho sauce. I was kind of shocked how well they took care of us under the circumstances. Definitely going back!“

“Friendly service great breakfast!“

“Great food. awesome customer service.“

“We had an awesome girls afternoon out with some great drinks and an awesome server than was full of suggestions and fun entertainment. Jorge G did a great job!“

“We are from WI and found Big Ed's because it was close to the hotel we stayed at. Unfortunately they we out of a few favorites but we found others and all 3 meals were outstanding. I had a full rack of ribs which were amazing and the wings were just as good. Service was great and super friendly...every employee was helpful and had smiles on their faces. Love the mom and pop local family business and already planning trips back to try the favorites they were out of as well as past the word on to everyone we know that loves BBQ. Well worth the hour drive!“

“Really delightful little middle eastern joint. Ordered the shwarma wrap. They bring you out sauces in bottles, so you can use as much as you wish. The wrap was delicious. The feel inside is cozy. The real jewel is the service. The woman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and you can see she takes pride in getting to know her guests. Great mom and pop feel.“

“Four of us had a most wonderful lunch, trying Tina's specially prepared Italian dishes and desserts. She is incredible with the love she puts into this place, her food and the decor. The staff provided great service and worked together for our every need. Tina made it even more special by singing "Happy Birthday" in Italian for my cousin. It's not unusual for her to stop by your table to see that all is good. What a fun time we had. Thank you Tina and everyone.“

“My first time here. The place is spotlessly clean and extremely cozy and comfortable. The staff is very helpful but not "too much" so you can enjoy the excellent food.The salad was not only delicious, but very pretty and colorful.Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, excellent service. What more could you want?“

“I didn’t get a chance to take a picture because I ate my food so fast ?. This was my first time trying their chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious. The employees were so friendly. The restaurant was so clean inside and out. I really enjoyed eating here!“

“Haven't had Denny's in about 10yrs+ and gosh, has the menu expanded. Was around the area and popped in as there were no other breakfast diners open at 6AM. Pictured here is their Multi-Grain Grand Slam - my choice: eggs overeasy, pork sausage and bacon, which comes with crispy and delicious hashbrowns, and the pancakes were excellent in flavor and texture.“

“2024-Apr-1 update: Was it a joke? 10% off cash payments? I didn't have cash on me but 10% is a really good deal. From late August, 2023:Was just there today for our usual: steak and chorizo corn tortilla tacos with cilantro and Jarritos soda. Service is friendly and patrons are everyday people, which makes this good for dine-in as well as carryout.Dine-in is recommended, though,because of the larger indoor area and the fact that the tortillas are just slightly crispy on the outer shell, which makes for a really good bite. That slight crisp gets soft during carryout.Last, the chorizo corn shell taco here is great with a ton of spicy salsa roja smothered on top. And I had to mention that because I'm hungry.Wheelchair accessibility: Shared lot with other business tenants in complex.“

“I had never tried southeast Asian cuisine. Even though I don’t know how they’re supposed to taste, I can tell the food is deliciously made!! It’s delicious as take out but it is even more amazing when you dine in and the food is piping “

“Amazing service ! Bar tender Jimmy was absolutely great. My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick drink and soup before the movies and had a Good time thanks to him!“

“Great place to hangout and good sushi“

“Hands down the best grow store that I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to quite a few. The guys are really good people and they actually help you instead of trying to get you to buy a bunch of useless stuff. Gotta support them every chance I get.“

“Wow! What a great Thai restaurant with great food, home ambiance, impeccable service, and reasonable prices! The food was flavorful, fresh, and plentiful! Just the right amount of spice and the portions are more than enough to satisfy even the hungriest of appetites. What really impressed me, was how friendly the staff was, given how absolutely busy they were on Friday night. Our carryout order was taking a little bit longer, and several staff members came by to offer a complementary bottle of water, and a friendly conversation while we waited. This is not something that many restaurants do out there, and Jimmy Thai definitely stood out to us with this extra touch of customer service! The staff were quickly seating people at their tables, and zooming in and out with people's orders! Everyone who we saw had a smile on their face, and all the diners who were finished with their meals, left with smiles on their face. I saw one of the staff members even hugging one of the diners, and it looks like they have known each other for years! This is what it is all about! It warms my heart that knowing that there are still great restaurants out there that are reasonably priced while producing delicious food, and are in turn supported by their community. Absolutely recommending Jimmy Thai in Deerfield for carryout or dine in experience“

“I grew up going to this place almost every day! Spent my allowance on soda and candy there! Now that I’ve grown up and moved away, I still make the hour drive every now and then for their awesome comfort food! The Paterson family is just like our own family❤️ I recommend Louie’s to everyone ❤️“

“Delicious and fresh food EVERYTIME. Have been coming here for years and would highly recommend their Guac and Jibaritos! Worth every pennie! Edgar and the crew are always in great spirits and happy to serve their customers. Love that they also have a vegan menu to cater to everyone. Will be returning as often as I can and recommend it highly to anyone!“

“Been here several times always fresh and consistent portions. If you're a fan of sushi and Japanese style appetizers but looking for a Subway restaurant style of informal dining ...a quick bite to eat, without all the overhead in service and prices, then I suggest trying this place.My favorite is the deluxe salmon bowl with the black rice. The fish is very fresh and I like the crab and seaweed salad. This has a very savory without being overpowering a true umami kind of tasting food. No overkill on making it hot or spicy. The meals include complimentary self-serving of miso soup. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. In my opinion it's a great sushi bowl at Subway prices.“

“Pita Inn needs no introduction, this is an established staple of the neighborhood. Pita Inn is full of staples for lunch, and dinner. The lunch specials are perfect and a crowd can be expected. Pita Inn service is top notch and will get everyone through as quickly as possible.The menu also offers great entrees, sandwiches, sides and some sweet eats like baklava. Pita Inn is always on my short list for take out.“

“Everything is always great at Wildberry as far as the food & service go! I just wish they had a better system for when they are crowded, and not have everyone come up to the desk to wait to be seated. It turns into a mosh pit. I don't like it! Maybe they need a bigger building...something but the food is always so amazing!“

“My steak was great, juicy and delicious, however my Husband's salmon was raw in the middle. Waiter never checked on us, after the food was served. By the time he came around the other 3 people were finished. Mixed feelings about our experience. We dine here frequently, and will return.“

“I gave 2 stars for atmosphere, because it’s only 2 tables in there. I see people eat in there but It’s not a restaurant …it’s pick up sushi little shop. Owners making them right in front of you and put box of sushi on the shelf and you can pick whatever you like. Sushi looks very good put together great taste , like in high end restaurant. Famous little shop for local, a lot of people in and out. Highly recommend if you in Lincolnshire area.“

“Food was fresh and tasty. Staff was very helpful being this was my first visit. They made recommendations based on what I wanted and the recommendations they gave made the dish even tastier. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“We dined at Disotto for the 2nd time now. Server was Kevin. He was so prompt,knowledgeable and well trained, that it really made the dining experience amazing. We all loved all our meals and the wine was excellent. Just came back from Naples, Florida and this restaurant had better everything! Better mussels, better caesers, better pasta....so delicious! We will be back!“

“Show me my family have been coming here for years always loved this place yes it can get a little expensive but it is well worth the food to be honest I've never had a bad experience in my life coming here I would say that if you're out of town or trying to find something new to try definitely try this cuz it'll be surprising and what you can eat here all of the waitress here are really damn good like I can't like emphasized on how good they are they're so sweet kind and everybody talks to each other they're all friendly as heck“

“First time trying Highly recommended“

“Just carried out from here and was very satisfied. Ordered two different bowls. One with Carne Asada was as flavorful as I've ever had. Also had the Chicken Adobo and that was exceptional as well. Way more variety and flavor than Chipotle with bowls, Tacos, Burritos, Elotes, Shrimp, seasonings etc. Only negative was service( only saw 3 employees)was a little slow putting the bowls together. Definitely coming back.“

“Our spring break vacation was falling apart, so we stopped here for a reset. And we got it. The food is always piping hot and delicious. The owner knows you need coffee or more tea before you do. We used to live nearby and as soon as we saw the sign, we knew Sandy’s was just what we needed. PS they even make gluten-free toast taste so delicious that my kid will finish it off my plate.“

“Carried out only. Food was very good, hot, tasty and just the right amount of spices. Service is excellent, food was ready to pickup at the designated time. It was raining pretty hard, one of the employees held an umbrella for me and walked me to my car. I will return!“

“훌륭한 음식. 돌솥 비빔밥과 무김치를 사랑해! 19 년 전 미 육군과의 국가에서의 시간을 상기시켜주었습니다. 같은 K-pop 곡들도 연주됩니다!“

“Always a great spot!!! Food and service is very good and they are very attentive! The owner and manager made sure we were comfortable at the bar while we had a short wait for our table. Then they found the best one in the house! (See picture) Try the mushroom/garlic flatbread as an appetizer!“

“The food was outstanding!!!! The service was great!!! The atmosphere is pleasant and clean. Wish it was bigger so more people could experience how fantastic of a place it is.Parking: Free parking in strip mall.Kid-friendliness: All are welcomed and the menu is suitable for kids as well.“

“Not only is the food great but the wonderful gentleman who was my server was amazing!Lets start off my reviewing the lunch entree I got. I ordered the chef recommendation which comes with tandoori chicken, buttered chicken, and lamb (I don't know what type of curry).I asked for a spice of medium to spicy mix. Ask and you shall receive! The spice level was perfect. I wanted heat but not so much that I don't taste the food.The buttered chicken is buttered chicken. I call this the gateway food of Indian food. It's simple. Nothing that I personally would ever rave over but was yummy. Now moving on to the lamb. Oh. My. Lanta. Cooked deliciously. The curry that it came in was also tasty. Tandoori chicken came out sizzling and was seasoned perfectly with the right amount of crisp. Tender and soft as well. Lunch came with Naan which was fluffy and it looked like it was baked fresh. Definitely not the typical flat store bought Naan. Chutney was also provided when I was seated. I ordered the mango Lassi and as you would expect it was standard and good.Lets quickly talk about service. I came in with luggage (just came from the airport) and they held the door open for me. So kind! I was seated at the perfect seat where I could toss my luggage to the side and out of the way. I asked for a box and the check (server could tell I was still picking and eating) and he said "I'll bring the check later, no need to rush". What a man! So sweet and kind. I came during non-rush hours (after 2pm) and I felt like I wasn't a bother at all and very welcomed. I appreciated the small talk here and there too as a solo diner!Definitely check this place out! They also have a fully stocked bar but I didn't order a drink.“

“we recently ordered carry out for a small get together at our house. We ordered off of the catering menu and were very specific with our choices. The woman on the phone was exceptionally friendly, patient and helpful. Everything in order came out perfectly incorrect. The food was delicious, everyone was happy and we even have amazing leftovers for the next night or two. Washington Gardens is consistently good and there is always a pleasure to deal with. We love it.“

“My best friend and I met up for dinner on a Saturday evening.... First, parking is hard to come by - you may have to drive around for a bit before a spot comes available. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived but was pretty full by the time we left. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food came out freshly cooked and was delicious! I ordered the steak jibarito with Puerto Rican rice and a side of sweet plantains, and my friend had the ropa vieja trifongo. I'll definitely be going back to try other menu items!“

“I can't stress enough if you haven't tried these yet make it one of your regular spots. All of their dumplings are delicious, but the beef and onion are my personal favorite. It's usually a 25-minute wait for the pan seared dumplings, but they are fresh and cooked to perfection.“

“We were in the area checking out a place for tea (we live an hour and a half away) and decided to stop here for lunch. My husband and I were soo glad we did. Staff greeted us promptly, served fantastic chips and salsa. We both got the asada burritos with a side of rice and beans. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor! We’ve tried many Mexican food places and this one is top on the list. We are already planning a trip back to try more food! Thanks for the love and care you put in the food!“

“I have been going to Hayashi for years. Whenever, I have a craving for Japanese strip steaks, sushi, or Udon that is my go-to place. Excellent Food, Excellent Service, and Excellent Ambiance. I would highly recommend this Japanese steak house. They go out of their way to serve their customers. In my case, I love to have their kimchi and they bring it without even me mentioning about it. 5 Stars.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available in their menu.“

“My partner and I have frequented several locations of Mission BBQ and the food and service are always great, but the Gurnee location's customer service is the best. They are always friendly and we never feel rushed when ordering. This is our favorite location to visit.“

“It's like stepping into a luxury hotel dining room. So beautiful with the chandeliers, drapery and gorgeous attention to details everywhere you look. Then you are treated to the freshest, fine sushi ? you can imagine. Always a wonderful experience at this restaurant.“

“I can't understand the negative reviews. I brought my three girls here for lunch and we had an amazing lunch! We last dined here about a year ago. The service was incredibly fast, the fried calamari was delicious, and the pizza was amazing. My picky eater asked for four more meatballs after devouring the first three that came on her spaghetti. I decided to try the soup/sandwich combo. It was so difficult to choose a sandwich because they ALL sounded amazing. I was very pleased with the Italian sandwich with the asparagus soup. I wish I would have brought a quart of the soup home for my husband to enjoy. The ingredients are fresh and everything tastes wonderful. I am already looking forward to our next visit!!“

“I must tell you what amazing customer service That Little French Guy has. I wanted a bakery item decorated in a specific way and they went above and beyond. Their bakery is the finest but to do something special that I wanted in such a perfect way is beyond what I could ask for.Everything there is super delicious and and top of that, they couldn't be any nicer or more customer oriented. 5 stars for me!!!!“

“Most excellent pizza in town!“

“I have eaten here before and always thought it was good but the last couple of times it has been great. Really outstanding dishes. I highly recommend a new diner here start with several of the small plates as they are excellent. We loved the Arepas, the Drunken Mushrooms, and the Peruvian Ceviche. The Empanadas were also very good but the three above were excellent. The four of us split two other items and were stuffed. We had the skirt steak with mushrooms and the Mussels. Again, both were excellent.“

“First time here and was very pleased with the food, service,and decor . The gas fireplace in the middle of dining room is gorgeous ! The manager was very friendly and he runs a well managed crew & spotless facility .Dietary restrictions: Low salt on request availableWheelchair accessibility: Washrooms are handicapped friendly as entrance !“
