45 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Riverton

“Decided to come visit the place after reading the reviews. Brought my 2 year old son with me and at the time of arrival, we were the first customers of the day. The owners were extremely welcoming and enjoyed talking to my son. Upon arrival of our pizza, it was extremely good with a good serving of cheese and meats. The crust was the right consistency of soft but still crisp. Overall, the establishment was very welcoming and the couple was very friendly. The food was affordable as well! Will definitely be coming back!“

“The food was amazing, the pizza tasted truly authentic and the marinara sauce was some of the best I’ve had, and the service was wonderful. The owner is genuinely a great guy and we were lucky to find this restaurant on our visit to Springfield!“

“I love Yanni's one of my favorite places to eat in Springfield“

“Best Quiche wonderful pastry crust, generous size! Delicious!“

“The best sushi that Illinois has to offer, can't be beat. Quality, portions, and service all blow everyone else out of the water.“

“Great local business! The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff are kind and helpful, the food is delicious and they get it out fast! I love the new location, it makes it so much more accessible with ample parking and space inside! I recommend the Meet Me @Moxo sandwich and the lemon white chocolate chip cookie!!“

“Great food, great service!“

“My kids and I stopped in here Tuesday after my son’s diabetic appointment. There was no carb information so I asked the waitress if there was any chance I could get that since my son is Type 1 diabetic. Without hesitation, she went back and spoke with the cook and manager. We had the carb information we needed and had 0 issues ordering. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart. The manager even came and went over the carb information with us. Thank you for helping ease this mommas mind. Something as simple as ordering a meal can be tricky for a child with type 1. And you didn’t snub us or treat us any differntly. Sadly, that does tend to happen a lot when asking that simple of a question. Our food was amazing and so was the service. We will most definitely be back!“

“Tried Razzos for the first time tonight. The food was quick, delicious, and hot. Our server Ellie, was one of the best servers we have ever had. She was friendly, attentive, and accomodating. Prices were very reasonable as well. Highly recommend and we will absolutely be back.“

“Great place for lunch. Outdoor seating option. The chef always comes around to talk to his customers. Rick is a great server.“

“We’re regulars here. Always the best!“

“Been coming to Cook’s since I worked across the street at camp Lincoln years upon years ago. Went back today for the first time in several years. The quality, freshness, quick, and friendly service was EXACTLY how I remember. Their whole grain bread is to die for. I don’t get to this side of town as often as I used to, but it is absolutely worth stopping in. Definitely one of Springfield’s hidden gems!“

“My family enjoyed our Mekong experience, Especially our food. everything we ordered was delicious! The atmosphere was pleasant and our server was excellent. We stopped on our way to Branson and are planning a return visit to Mekong on our way home.“

“Had an amazing dinner here. The salsa was fresh and just the right amount of heat. The pineapple shrimp was amazing. I hadn’t been here in awhile and so glad I visited again.“

“Everything was great the seafood boil and appetizers. Just two complaints, the sliver of cheesecake was way too pricey for the little sliver they served and it tasted like frozen cheap kind, second the crab Rangoon was delicious but way too small for the price. I will come back for more as it is delicious just those two things need to be fixed.“

“went there tonight for dinner and was so pleasantly surprised....everything I got was delicious except the bourbon chicken too sweet for me but definitely loved the steak ham clam chowder baked potato fried chicken grilled BBQ chicken and fried shrimp yum yum yum“

“This place is amazing. It's a fun, local place with great food and friendly staff. I recommend their horseshoe. There was moderate noise from the music for lunch with the music, which really adds to the atmosphere.“

“We love this place. Great food, friendly staff. ❤️“

“OH MY YUMMMM! This place was FIRE!🔥 The soup was magnificent like some kind of magical taste explosion! The sushi was good and a good portion too, which can be hard to find!!! The spring rolls were tasty and so fresh hot and crispy!!! The lunch special was CHEAP too! HIDDEN GEM ALERT! 🚨 5 stars! A++ GO TO THIS PLACE BEFORE I EAT ALL THE FOOD THERE!!!“

“Wonderful produce and amazing prices!“

“Hadn't been here in years. Menu is still much the same. We both had crab rangoon, my wife had vegetarian Bume (dry), and I had Sen Rad Na. All were excellent - fresh and hot. Thai food is usually spicy, but we ordered it mild. Perfect for our tastes.“

“I stopped by the drive-thru for the first time yesterday. I ordered the gyro plate. It is easily enough food for two people. It was fresh and tasty. The fries were crisp and they reheated well the next day. I absolutely plan to make this place a regular stop!“

“Today, after years of eating at the pizza ranch right off of 6th Street, I stopped by to grab a bite. The chicken was great as always. The pizza wasn't great. A very limited selection and it was starting look dried out, and there wasn't a lot to chose from. I saw one employee walked by and looked at it, but that was the extent of it. Thank you.......“

“Easter online order was delicious and easy to heat up and serve.“

“Food was good but kinda cold when it came out. Not worth asking to have it reheated as it took 75 minutes for us to get our food. They seem to have a lot of outdoor seating but only one kitchen makes all the food? If they have multiple kitchens, then I dont understand why food was so slow to come out. I had bbq pulled pork sandwich which was dry, as there was a scant dollop of bbq sauce on bun.
Bartender was great!“

“Nice spot to stop for lunch! They had a lunch menu with smaller portions and a very reasonable price. It comes with a soup and egg roll. They do not have gluten free soy sauce, but they were very kind and helpful in pointing out which menu items were made without gluten. Great service and the food was very good!“

“My name is Mike Lawrence. I began coming to Joe’s when it was still located in a somewhat decrepit house located just one door west of the building it’s now in. The front porch on that old house was loose and would bounce or sag a bit when you walked across it and my joke to guests I took in there with me, was they should carefully walk around that bad spot when we left because we’d all be heavier from having eaten and would probably fall through.

My daughter lost her first baby tooth while eating Spaghetti at Joe’s. She’s now 43 so, yeah, we’ve been coming for decades; certainly since the days when Joe Porcasi ran it.

All the food was great and, through all those years, I NEVER heard anyone say anything bad about the food, the service, the price, nothing … until now.

I guess it’s to be expected, especially in the food industry. Over time people weary of doing the same job day after day, get tired of serving the same food to the same people. Pride in performance gives way to pet peeves and personal pity parties. Oh, I get it. I do.

The reviews I read now talking about bad service, bad food, no longer being able to dine in … none of that would EVER have been true back in the day. Back when we came and sat down, talked, laughed, took in the awesome smells, and delighted when the food came. Even standing up to get the door for someone exiting with boxes of pizzas and more to take home to loved ones. Man, those were the best of times.

When we first found Joes, we didn’t go to any other shop in town. Why, when you’d found the best, would you want to go anywhere else?

We had even talked, briefly, with the original owners about opening a franchise on the east side of Springfield. Wish we’d carried through with that instead of opening a restaurant. Ah, well.

I don’t know if it’s still there, but I donated a kitchen chef statue to Joe’s when Jeff bought the place. Used to be right up on the counter.

I live in St. Louis now but, from time to time, when I long for one of Joe’s pizzas, or meatball subs, or lasagnas … and it’s only a 200 mile round trip but, frankly, some of the reviews have kinda bummed me out about doing it.

Ah, well. We’ll see.“

“Food is awesome, they are open late, if you call ahead and order it's super quick and they haven't ever messed up my order yet. I've never went inside honestly not sure if you can, but everyone I've delt with over the phone and at the drive thru window have had great customer service.“

“Stopped in here while charging at the Tesla Supercharger nearby and decided to grab a bite. Really glad we did. The food was great, everything hit the spot, and the service was great too. Super convenient location if you’re charging, and it made the stop a lot better than just waiting around. I’d definitely come back next time I’m in the area.“

“I cannot drive so I order food to be delivered. The driver has always been very nice and professional. The food arrives quickly and is still very hot. Everything I have ordered from them has been very tasty. My favorites are the pork egg rolls, the crab cheese won tons, the fried dumplings, and the chicken fried rice - the chicken mei fun is good, too - very different! I like this place a lot!“

“I generally get there double cheeseburger and fry special. The breakfast is very good also. Mondays is chicken noodle which is very good. Wednesday is meatloaf. That’s good also. Staff’s always friendly and can’t forget to get the milkshakes.“

“Excellent food and excellent customer service!“

“Amazing food and wonderful service! Highly recommend time and time again.“

“Outside of Resterant looks sketchy, Inside of restaurant was fresh and clean! Staff was pleasant and attentive. Food was delicious! Got egg drop soup, egg roll and General Tso's Chicken off the lunch menu for less then 10.00 before tax and tip. Will be back.“

“You have to visit this restaurant! Incredible food, amazing service, a lovely atmosphere, and the friendliest staff. Without a doubt, the highest quality Mexican food I've had in a long time. They exude passion in everything they make, and it shows. I will definitely be back every time excellent 🔥🔥. 👌“

“Very good food and fun arcade will definitely recommend“

“Love China star so much!!“

“Highly recommend this place. We had about an hour wait because of course they are short staffed, who isnt... They had a party of 12 walk in right before us, with only 1 cook. they done their best to make it fast to seat us, and others. Usally we wouldn't wait that long, but all the staff was extremely friendly and working hard to please all customers. 1 young waitress cause she didn't have a sitter and had to bring her little boy to work with her... But SHE WAS THERE! working her butt off. we told her to put him with us, we played with him until the grandma cane to pick him up. The whole team worked together great. they were all young. my husband and I sat there and enjoyed our meal, while watching this young crew admiring them all for their dedication to try their best to do what they had to do to please their customers and provide for their families. kudos to this IHOP, for a job well done today.
