50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lockport

“Hidden gem with excellent food. We frequent a few times a month— because the food is just that good. Our fav apps include Spring Rolls, Crab Rangoon, & Pan Fried Dumplings. For entrees, can’t go wrong with Homemade Dumpling Soup, Thai Style Fried Rice, Pad Thai, or Thai BBQ Pork with noodles. My husband is more adventurous and his MVP’s are Massaman Curry & Thai Red Curry. We are slowly making our way through the entire menu but hard not to just order our favorites every time. Thai Milk Tea is also delish. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“First time there and everything was delicious 👌. Will definitely be going back soon.“

“Taco Patio catered a party for us. The setup was seamless and everyone raved about the food. Highly recommend for all catering needs. Portion size was large and customer service was outstanding.“

“George’s has been ‘Lockport’…..everyone goes to George’s. Love the place!! Been going there for years! Today I went there for breakfast and was told by the waitress I was not allowed to bring in my own creamer. She said it was because people sneak in alcohol disguised as other beverages. Ok…I get that. They don’t want alcohol in the restaurant….but when she claimed it was COVID related that was utter nonsense. Is this yet another instance of stupidity where COVID is on outside creamer bottles but not on everything other item coming through the door? D****“

“I religiously buy a 18" from here, weekly. The best pizza in Lockport. Have never been disappointed!“

“Lots of cool daft beers, it is abit pricy but so is everything now a days. Sit at the bar for the best service. The table waitresses are a hit and miss.“

“I ordered a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with a small side of garlic fries.
Was warmly greeted by the staff as soon as I entered the restaurant.
The cheesesteak sandwich was good, tasty and worth ordering again but not amazing. While the onions and peppers were sautéed to perfection, some of the meat was a bit dry around the edges. The melted and creamy American cheese tied everything together nicely. The garlic fries were hot, fresh and crispy with the perfect amount of garlic.

The meal was fairly priced for the quantity of food given.“

“Friendly environment, and amazing food, I usually don’t do review. But this place is a must“

“Stayed at Harrah’s Casino in Joliet & food at the grill was terrible. Found The Old Fashioned Pancake House Restaurant on Jefferson St in Joliet the next morning and it was amazing. Service was quick, attentive and continuous. Food (breakfast) was simply outstanding and price was very good! I have traveled a lot and this place is a Five Star value in my book.“

“If your looking for a good hearty breakfast with a side of country charm, this is the place to go. The service was amazingly fast. I had my drink within 2 minutes and my food no more than 5 minutes after I ordered. My waitress was perfect, checking in regularly. The food was perfectly cooked, pancakes golden brown and eggs cooked to just the right hardness. There is nothing worse than runny scrambled eggs.

Its a family owned restaurant that seems to be a staple in the community and it's good reviews are definitely earned. I will be back.“

“This is a really nice place for special occasions, a date, or getting together with friends. The menu is varied, everything I've ever had has been excellent from the Beef Bourguignon Crepe to the French Onion soup. The atmosphere is lovely. The down side to me has been the wait staff is almost always a bit pretentious. Perhaps I should have paid more attention to see if it was the same waitress that seemed that way. I shall in the future.“

“Best Burger in the local area ever and excellent prices and service. Very clean too.“

“Nancy’s place is the best!!!“

“Luis came out for my sons Graduation Party. He came out early to set up and was ready to go. Everyone at the party could not stop talking about how fresh and how good the food was.. At the end there was food leftover that he packaged up and left with us. A great experience all around. I will definitely be using him again and going to his restaurant. I highly recommend him.“

“Traverso’s Restaurant – A Naperville Heartbeat Whenever Bruce and I walk through the door at Traverso’s, it’s like coming home to family. From the moment you arrive, the energy is warm, welcoming, and unmistakably local—a true neighborhood institution. Owners and brothers Paul Traverso and Mike Traverso have poured their hearts into this place since 1993. Their presence is felt in every hand-shaken introduction and every sincere “How’s everything tonight?” from the staff. There's genuine pride and care in how the restaurant is run, and it shows. The layout is perfect. The lounge/bar area buzzes with friendly chatter over cocktails, while the dining room remains cozy and intimate. It’s a thoughtful division—great for those who want to unwind at the bar, yet still prefer a quiet dinner elsewhere. The recent remodel enhanced that charm without losing the heart of the place. Now, the food—oh, the food. The grilled lemon chicken wings are a revelation: crisp, juicy, tangy, and always our order number one. But it's the pizza that holds a special place in our hearts. Imagine cracker-thin crust so light it melts on your tongue, topped with savory sausage and pepperoni in perfect harmony with the sauce—every bite unforgettable. Service is consistently on point. Every visit means attentive smiles, knowing nods, thoughtful refills, and food that arrives just when you're expecting it. It’s that comforting reliability that makes you feel cared for, always. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s ours. Whether for a casual Tuesday night or a family celebration in their elegant dining or event room, Traverso’s delivers excellence wrapped in familiarity. To everyone in Naperville: if you haven’t experienced the exceptional hospitality and authentic Italian fare here, you’re missing out on something special.“

“My mom and I like to meet at wineries/ wine bars once a month that halfway for us (parents live in Crystal Lake and I live in LaSalle). Goat and Vine was an excellent restaurant with delicious food and a variety of top notch wines! On top of that, our server made our first time experience that much better; I highly recommend!!“

“We’ve lived in the area for over 8 years and finally stopped here for dinner. The food was delicious - huge portions, the specials include soup and salad and the amazing service from Paulette was absolutely wonderful. I had the ribs - yummy and they fall off the bone. My husband had the chicken Alfredo. He loved it and the portion was huge! Great bang for the buck too. Beer and wine only but that’s all we needed.“

“Great food and beverage in Plainfield, Illinois. Attended a recent event to celebrate our partners and enjoy an extraordinary presentation by Werk Force Brewing and Happy Belly Kitchen. Host and hostesses (Brando, Amanda, Kathy, Katy and Mike ) went all out to serve us and make this a memorable night. I am sur I left out names but it was the Best!“

“They went above and beyond for our family. We had about 30 people who decided to go out to dinner after a wake. We called and 15 minutes later they had a huge table set up and did an awesome job of taking care of us. Very impressed with the service we received.“

“Great breakfast 🍳 skillets!!! Great food and great service. Highly recommend 😊“

“I just love their food, everything fresh & tastes perfect! My favorite besides their sandwiches will gotta be their chicken noodle soup, rich flavor with lots of veggies & chicken. The store’s ambiance and staff are friendly too! Can’t believe they are the only one RAX in Illinois :,) hope to see more RAX in the future!“

“Best sushi I’ve had in my life. I’m a big fan.“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Joliet location. We stopped there after taking my grandmother to the casino and she didn’t have her wheelchair. She walks but very slowly. The staff was super kind and made sure she had a walkway and opened all the doors for her. They didn’t rush her or make her feel bad for taking a while! They cared and were so helpful! Great food and great staff! Thank you!“

“We stumbled upon The Tasty Biscuit while in town for a wedding and ended up coming back twice—it was that good. Despite a packed parking lot both mornings, we were seated right away thanks to their fast, efficient service. The coffee was excellent, the menu was full of creative and classic options, and the food itself? Quite possibly the best breakfast we’ve ever had. On our second visit, we even recognized some familiar faces from the day before—clearly, we weren’t the only ones hooked! If you’re anywhere near this place, don’t miss the chance to stop in. Your taste buds will thank you.“

“Fave restaurant! We love the new addition to La Grange“

“I love this restaurant / sports bar! I've moved over 300 miles away but anytime I'm in town visiting family I make it a point to stop in. Their thin crust pizza is DELICIOUS, which is what keeps me coming back. I'm the past when I lived in the area, 20 years ago, I enjoyed many if their other entrees, which my family assured me that they are still great.“
