50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Port Barrington

“On a very hot and busy evening, we took the only seats available, outside- the outdoor seating happens to be a beautiful sun room with a nice view. We came in mid dinner rush on a Friday evening and this place was PACKED, so naturally it was a little busy, and the kitchen had a nightmare on their hands to work through. That being said, the food came out a little slow, and without any sort of prompting, or anything, one of the owners (a VERY nice lady) came out and apologized for the wait, then comped our appetizer for coming out after the entrees, and to top it off she threw in a free dessert for the "trouble" which as far as we were concerned wasn't any trouble at all. The product itself was well worth the wait. I personally NEVER finish my entrees at restaurants, and I absolutely destroyed the Caribbean Burger I ordered. SO worth the wait. Portions are great, food quality was awesome, the entire staff was friendly, despite it being so busy and so hot, the whole experience was awesome from walking in, to closing out. 20/10, would absolutely come here again and would recommend this place to anyone who loves a good Midwestern meal with a great atmosphere.“

“Great place to eat on the water. Love the screened in dining on the upper patio. Exceptional decorations during holidays! They know how to have a good time. Food was delicious. I ordered the renegade burger and tots. The best burger I've had in a long time. The tots were fresh and deep fried; didn't taste like freezer burn!“

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

“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“

“so ridiculously good it's like a work of art“

“the food was great, our server went above and beyond. she gave my 8 month old a bear some fruit. they were very friendly and the food was good. next time we are in the area I'd come back.“

“Duke is a joy and a blessing. I met him back in 2018 I believe with my mother on a bike stroll and he made it a memorable experience. The delicious BBQ was the icing on the cake. Cooked to perfection.

But what’s more important is just how humble and welcoming Dukes and his team are. I recently came back to visit from Los Angeles and my mother passed…he remembered her when I described our last visit. He was so empathetic and sincere…his energy is just a joy to be around.

Thank you, Duke. And may God continue to bless you, your family, and your business.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Back at Pizza Factory like I never left because honestly, I can't stay away. Their pizza is still the best in town, no debate. But this time I cheated on it with the Italian beef, and wow... no regrets. Juicy, cheesy, and dangerously addictive. I think I’m in a love triangle now.“

“Great service. I love their fish fry and I'm a big fan of the potato pancakes.“

“This place is wonderful! It’s brand new and fun for hours! The 3 and under area is a great addition for the younger ones. The decor is pleasing to the eye and not decorated in bright harsh colors like most kids places! There’s plenty of seating options for adults too. The cafe has a lot of options as well. Re-entry is allowed so it was perfect to go take a little break and come back later. I highly recommend it!“

“Loved it here service was great very efficient! Food was delicious had the chicken chipotle crepe with the potatoes amazing! This place was big enough room for everyone a lot of parking space too which is always good! Bathroom was clean
Very happy with this location“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently visited Raul’s Burrito Express and had the Huevos a la Mexicana—wow, what a delicious experience! The flavors were spot on, and the portion size was absolutely incredible. You get a lot of food for such an affordable price, which makes it a fantastic value.

If you’re a fan of authentic Mexican flavors, this place should be at the top of your list. The flour tortillas are a must-try—soft, fresh, and perfect for soaking up every bit of that delicious meal. Whether you’re craving breakfast or a hearty burrito, Raul’s Burrito Express never disappoints. This is a true hidden gem for anyone who loves generous portions and top-notch Mexican cuisine!“

“we spent our night tonight there together just myself and my fiance. we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The owners were the most wonderful people. It was nice and quiet just him and I with a little music in the background with nice dim lighting. The food was out of this world! Very generous food portions! we will definitely be thinking about this place for a while!!! Honestly I don't think we could have had a better night! Thank you for making our night special“

“I came here with a couple friends about a month ago on a Tuesday night and it happened to be their trivia night. And we ended up joining in on the fun.

The place is huge! The main room has a long bar and was full. We were seated in a room across from the bar. It was also huge and I think they occasionally had live music in that room. Our server was attentive and was constantly refilling our drinks. However, once we finished eating, we never saw our server again. Not even to to fill up water. As soon as the trivia ended, our server resurfaced and hovered while we settled our bill. Weird, right?

We were seated in a booth. Just three of us. It could have easily held six people.

So, someone comes by and says we're playing trivia. It's on the app and he shows us the app and tells us how to set it up.

This is all before we order drinks. It's all about the trivia. I have no idea where the other teams were as the place was ginormous.

We were there for our burger club. Between the three of us, we ordered the Tavern burger and the 'Merica burger. They were cooked very well, very flavorful. The buns held up, cheese melted well and fries crispy, but not too crispy. Everything was good...

Except that damn trivia game. It took forever. A simple trivia game that should have last maybe 45 minutes dragged on for nearly two hours. It was insane how slow it was. And no one wanted to leave? And I have no idea why as the prize was like a $25 gift card. It was lame.

I'll definitely return to try some of their other food, but I'll avoid their damn trivia night.“

“Awesome food and live music on Mondays! An all around great place to meet with friends for dinner and drinks in downtown McHenry.“

“Great service for Maria the sweetest great service!! Always with a smile on her face. 200 Springhill Rd Carpentersville, IL 60110 United States“

“Love the atmosphere as soon as we walked in on a Friday late morning. We were sat right away. Coffee was never empty and the food was fast and amazing. This was our first time here but we will be back very soon. Their lemon raspberry crepes were delicious and perfectly balanced. I got the jalapeno omelet with hash and mini waffles. When they brought the plate out it was MOUNDED with food.“

“Came on a Sunday for the AYCE crab & shrimp and it was fantastic, as were the after dinner drinks. Highly recommend the tequila old fashioned. 5/5 stars. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Amazing service and they make a great Ruben sandwich“

“My waiter was good and friendly. I sat in covered patio. I ordered a spring salad with shrimp. blackberries, grapefruit, candied pecans, arugula and berry vinaigrette and a side of Mac n cheese. The salad was missing the pecans but I forgot until I left, I thought something was missing. However, the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The ratio of shrimp to half portion was good. Mac N Cheese was ok. Noodles were undercooked and some still hard/crunchy edges and cheese sauce was just average and a bit gritty/thick. However, I was not expecting my meal to be served with plastic wrapped plastic utensils. a take home box for salad and a take home container for dining in. That was disappointing. the table of eight next to me was a bit shocked too to get their meals in to go cardboard containers.“

“The tacos were good. The salsa was extremely spicy (still edible, but I prefer a more mild salsa, especially in a restaurant setting) and the chicken taco which claimed to be spicy, actually wasn't, which I thought was kind of strange. The pico de gallo on my fish taco was also very hot since it contained a lot of jalapeno. Out of the 3 tacos I got the mahi mahi was my favorite.“

“Tried “The Famous Bootie” for the first time. Delish!!! The many memorabilia was awesome especially ELVIS. 😊 Will be back and try their salad.“

“Service, hospitality and food were wonderful!“

“Great craft brewery with tasty treats! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“This is the best sushi, hands down. Whether you dine in or order out, you will not be disappointed. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. My favorites include gyoza, Hawaiian roll, Volcano roll, seared tuna, bento box..... and everything else I've tried. Please give them a try, you'll be so happy you did. We will never go anywhere else! Thank you Asahi!“

“fast friendly service outstanding food highly recommend everyone come here.“

“This is the BEST sushi place I have been to. My wife and I have been coming regularly for the past year and have never had a bad experience. The staff are incredibly friendly, everyone greets you when you walk in and walk out. It’s a real special place.
The food is amazing too!!! Out of all the sushi places we have visited, this is number one and has become our go to place.
Do yourself a favor and order the miso soup! It’s the best!!“

“First time trying this restaurant. AMAZING!!! We will be back again. Loved the Teriyaki Chicken.“
