50 Best Vegetarian 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.“

“HANDS DOWN! YOU WIN! Best cinnamon rolls EVER!“

“Definitely worth the few extra minutes driving up here from Round Lake. I showed up on Thursday to find out they’ve got an all you can eat taco special 👀 I gotta roll myself out to my car after this. Don’t let the previous rough construction out front fool you, this place is gold. I had the steak and chorizo tacos that were superb. Mango margarita slapped 👏🏻“

“The food!!! The staff!!! I've tried most everything and loved it.“

“It’s always a fun time had by all. Everybody is very friendly.“

“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!“

“We were in Chicago for a visit from Texas and I decided I was really craving dumplings. I googled dumplings and Dangelas popped up. Reviews were amazing so we put it in the GPS and off we went. We arrived 30 minutes before closing but it didn’t matter. The best dumplings I’ve ever had. I wish I didn’t live so far away because I would be there at least once a week!“

“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.“

“Great food, hospitality and service at a fair price!“

“We have been going here for a while. The other breakfast places around here are nothing compared to whistle stop. The food is always fresh, hot, friendly professional staff and every guest is treated the same which makes us feel comfortable and wecome. I have not had one bad dish everything is great. Their fries are really good too. Keep up the good work. My kids love you guys!

Kid-friendliness: Yes totally kid friendly. They have a kid menu and accomodate to each kid needs.“

“My fiancé and I went for breakfast at the Gurnee location yesterday. Both mens and womens bathrooms were out of order. No additional bathrooms for the employees!!! How can a restaurant be able to be open without facilities for patrons let alone the employees working an 8 hour shift!?!? Our waitress pleaded for me to call OCHEA!! She also said it is not the first time!!“

“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.“

“This is the second year we’ve gotten your Thanksgiving dinner, specifically the Son of a Feast for my husband and I. Easily 6+ servings. Absolutely phenomenal! There was not a single thing that I thought was “meh” and the green beans were amazing, much improved since last year. We will continue to get these holiday dinners as long as you offer them! Can’t wait for Christmas!“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“Service was very good until they got busy, then it tapered off. Pizza took a little long and wasn't quite hot when we got it so I think it had been sitting a minute or two too long. We ordered the Pizza Bianca and they might want to reconsider the cheese mix...this one is on the very salty side, but still good. It is definitely a great place to have in Libertyville!“

“The food was very good and it came in large portions. The staff members were polite and worked fast. It was a really cool atmosphere and I loved the pictures and stories displayed around the restaurant.Definitely would recommend. 5 out of 5“

I love the prices, they are very reasonable. There isn’t a thing about that place that I could criticize. I love everything, and that’s why we keep going all the time. Thank you for listening to me. George is a wonderful guy and I recommend that everybody go there. Thank you, Ele & Larry“

Servers are always hustling. Kitchen cranks out food. Prices are great. The kids being able to play volleyball is a huge bonus. Thank you once again!“

“We held a family funeral lunch at Lino’s. The staff was welcoming, attentive and very friendly as they took care of our party, which filled their banquet room. We had a couple of chicken dishes, a couple of vegetable dishes, a garden salad, potatoes, and cannoli for dessert. Our guests raved about the food, which was delicious and hot! We could not be more enthusiastic in our recommendation of Lino‘s!“

“The specials were German entries. I ordered the pork chop, German potatoe salad and sourkraut. It was good except the pork chop was over cooked and dried out. The chicken teriyaki and pasta bowl is delishious. So is the calamari. Our server was very pleasant We celebrated a birthday and she brought out a piece of cake with a candle. Always enjoy the Firkin!!“
