44 Best Vegan Restaurants near Lake Villa

“We live 2.5 hours south of Lake Villa, but we were meeting some friends from Florida for dinner. They were in the area for their grandson’s graduation from Great Lakes Naval Academy. Found this place via Google and it had great reviews, with good reason. We wish we lived closer because it would be a favorite for sure. Probably the best bruschetta and lasagna I’ve had in a very long time. Everyone loved their entrees. We tried multiple pasta dishes and the pizza. Prices were very reasonable and our service was exceptional. Excellent dining experience all around. Highly recommend.“

“Thank you so much for everything you do and thank you for the healing foods. This is my favorite place!“

“I've been eating at and ordering from this restaurant for over a decade, and I can confidently say the food is consistently excellent. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is always welcoming.

They’re also incredibly accommodating when it comes to modifying sushi rolls for food intolerances or dietary restrictions, which I really appreciate.“

“This Place _Was_ Great.

The cooking here has seriously degraded in quality since 2022. Talk about flavorless! It wasn't that way just a little bit ago.

Service is still great but tipping 25% is loopy.

The place is clean and, other than for the poor cooking, well operated. Parking is still rough on weekends.“

“Nicko! Nicko did an amazing job! He was the only one waiting tables at a pretty busy time and did an amazing job taking care of everyone! Food was very good and came out quickly! The tiramisu was more or a tiramisu cake but was still delicious!“

“We went there for the first time over the weekend. Everything was delicious and everyone was so nice! We’ll be back.“

“We live locally but did not realize this place existed until tonight. Wow! What a whimsical and wonderful slice of heaven. The energy, creativity, and uninterrupted space to be authentic without judgment. We enjoyed listening to several talented young artists freely perform and enjoy their music. We were so lucky to be part of the audience tonight. The owner, Alex, is one in a million—such a zen space. We enjoyed our coffee and tea and appreciated the love that went into it. I can’t say enough good things, and I am so thankful to have stumbled upon this spot. Will absolutely be back and highly recommend! 🤩 🎶 ☕️ 🍵 💫“

“Modern decor, great service, excellent meal. Nice couples place. Not sure what to get? Our server gave us great recommendations. Will be back.“

“My wife and I have become a little picky with our restaurant selection but this place was great and the food was fresh, it has fancy atmosphere with decent pricing. We have come a couple of times with my wife for their lunch specials and they are the best. Pricing is very fair for what you get. We had the 2 sushi roll option and I had the Chicken pad Thai which was great. The server was a little serious and dry but it's been great every time.

Definitely recommend it.“

“Best bakery ever.“

“Food is great made fresh. Owner and staff are awesome. Very clean and neat atmosphere. They treat you like family“

“Everything was excellent!!!“

“We have visited at least 10 times before since moving back to the area, but tonight we sat outside in the heated patio area. Our service from start to finish was amazing, the food was absolutely fantastic. We usually sit inside by the bar but I cannot wait for summer to enjoy more of this patio! The staff, drinks, apps, food, and atmosphere could not be more enjoyable.“

“Really good flavorful food for a good price. The portions are great. This is a great fast-casual spot that I would be happy to come back to. The spice factor is definitely there if you want it! Food came out pretty quick too. Great vegetarian spot with tofu options as well“

“The blts are amazing here! I mean so much is amazing here! Thank you for always providing such amazing food and treats!“

“The service is always as warm as the dishes. The food is fusion and they make it work so well! My new favorite (replacing the shrimp tacos with makhni sauce) is the shorba (spicy tomato soup) with paneer sliders (beautiful umami grilled cheese).“

“Great staff and delicious reasonably priced menu. If you are looking to support a small local business, start here. You will not be sorry. Oh, did I say they have the BEST tuna salad in town? SnarfOn!“

“Our server was exceptional. He helped with beer and wine suggestions as well as helping out my husband when he didn't care for his dinner selection (he can be a bit grumpy sometimes). Our waiter made sure to help my sister-in-law with her eclectic tastes in beer and then again with dessert.“

“The staff was so sweet to my little one who chose to have his 7th birthday family dinner here out of any restaurant!! We got 5 different pizzas and the birthday not got his favorite... MOD style, reg sauce, dairy free cheese, mushrooms, tomato slices, plant based crumble, and... Oh yeah... Extra cheese!! Thanks MOD! Felix is your biggest fan!!“

“Reasonable prices, Good food“

“My first time ever trying Thai food, my husband has always been a fan. I am now hooked, this place is amazing. I knew it had to be good when I pulled up to a restaurant attached to a home kitchen. We ordered the Beef noodle soup spice level 2, chicken pad thai spice level 3, order of sticky buns, crispy egg rolls and crab rangoon. Everything was amazing. Tender beef in the soup, fresh not canned crunchy sprouts, rich broth. My husband loved the heat and fresh veggies in his pad thai. Even after sitting in the bag for about 30 minutes after pick up the rangoons were perfectly crunchy thanks to the venting on the container they put them in. Perfect portions, quality, great price, clean, all staff wearing masks, multiple carry out options in terms of curb side pick up, going in, delivery etc. Highly highly highly recommend. Cannot wait for our next take out/date night.“

“The Lakemoor location is great. The employees are always friendly. The cones are still as delicious as they were way back when I was young. They don’t skimp on the ice cream. Go, get an Original Rainbow cone. You will not be disappointed. Yum.?“

“Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful. Its my 1 stop for supplements“

“My wife and I totally enjoyed their food. We were a bit surprised to see that the AYCE went up to $28.99. We will go back.“

“The menu at Go Fresh Café is a treasure trove of healthy and delicious options. From fresh salads to gourmet sandwiches and wraps, there was something for every palate. I decided to try their signature quinoa bowl, filled with a vibrant mix of vegetables, protein, and a flavorful dressing. Every bite was bursting with freshness and perfectly balanced flavors.“

“Service was fine, portions a little smaller,but good. And STILL NO DIET ROOT BEER, which prevents my friends and I from coming more often!“

“Good fast casual food. Huge spuds 🥔, great sandwiches/soup/salads, & sweet tea.“

“The best margs and Palomas around. The homemade tortillas are killer. I haven't had anything here I didn't like“

“Food Review: Robin Hood – Gurnee, IL

Nestled in the heart of Gurnee, Robin Hood may not yet be the most buzzed-about spot online—but what it might lack in web presence, it surely makes up for in character and service. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt like a well-loved local gem: warm lighting, congenial chatter, and a sense of community that’s rare to find.

But what truly made the evening shine was our server, Brianna. Attentive without hovering, she struck that rare balance of offering recommendations, anticipating refills, and knowing when to leave us to enjoy our meal. Her genuine warmth set the tone for the whole evening.

Brianna checked in at just the right times, with a refreshing sincerity—you could tell she cared. When I asked about a dish’s preparation, her response was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, as if she’d be excited for you to try it too.

In short: Robin Hood in Gurnee might be easy to overlook online, but it’s a place where thoughtful service meets solid, satisfying food. If Brianna’s energy is any indication, this is the kind of “hidden favorite” that deserves more recognition“

“I went to this place just today, the waiters were amazing, so kind and on top of stuff. The place is so big, and although they were busy, it was very sanitary. The food was amazing and had many options. The atmosphere overall was so great, everyone was so nice and it was decorated beautifully. Overall, I give this place a 10/10, definitely would recommend.“

“Amazing place! Delicious onion soup!!!!l love it 😍“

“Great experience Owner of Comfort Gurnee recommended and even provided a gift card to try your ice cream !! He’s a big fan !!!“

“Everyone needs to go here instead of pizza hut, 1, pizzas amazing they our care into them and not just throwing toppings on it and rifling it into the oven. 2. They just refurbished, 3. 20 bucks for twice the size of a pizza than pizza hut and guaranteed to help you gain 5 pounds!

Get this the Italian sub is almost as big as my 7 pound 3 legged cat“
