50 Best Vegan Restaurants near South Barrington

“Great food. Great service.“

“Ruth's Chris has been our special occasion restaurant for 30 years across the country. From Vegas, Hawaii, Minnesota, south barrington, Northbrook and Chicago we have been to them all and usually love the food and ambiance. Unfortunately my wife's meal was a true disappointment last night. They tried making her steak three times and each time came out wrong or beyond well done which is not what she ordered unfortunately. After the third attempt the manager finally offered to take it off the bill and my wife simply had appetizers and sides for dinner. Not our usual Ruth's Chris experience but certainly was memorable for the wrong reasons.“

“I went to Wok n Fire for my first time tonight and got to experience it a little differently with it being the first day you are able to dine indoors since COVID. Our waitress, Stacey was absolutely amazing! She gave personal recommendations and even traded out my girlfriends wine that she didn’t like. Great food and delicious!“

“The General Manager in Hoffman Estates Panera is one of the best I have ever seen. His name is Brian. He is constantly on the go, working the register, making drinks, cleaning tables, helping people as needed. Very approachable. We frequent this store regularly. Kudos Brian!“

Highly recommend for a special occasion!“

“Let me start by saying, I love Seasons 52! From the moment you walk in, you feel this amazing energy. The customer service at the front desk is amazing, they are very kind and friendly. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu and each time they have not steered me wrong. I took my friend on Wed for her birthday. I had never been there for a birthday and it was very simple but special. They brought over a chalk board with happy birthday and a card. Later champagne, candle and she chose her mini cake. It was delightful. My friend wasn't overwhelmed by the experience and wanted her picture taken. It was perfect!“

“Food and service are very good. Atmosphere is basic. Restaurant is in an old building and not fancy or trendy. Good for families. Go for the pizza. There is a lot of parking but still hard to find a spot as this location is very busy. Need to make reservations on the weekend if you want to eat in.“

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great coffee experience—I’ll definitely be back! 🌹🌹“

“Best breakfast spot in the Chicagoland area! Great food, excellent service from top to bottom, highly recommend! However, this place is a packed house on the weekends! Be sure to join the wait-list on Yelp or you'll be waiting over an hour for a table. Yea...it's THAT good! Kinda loud in the dining area, but that's to be expected when every single table is full from open to close.“

“We went to Woodfire for my birthday. The food and service is excellent. Vicki was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The food is so fresh and homemade. The pizza crust is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is an assortment of types of pizza, but the cheese pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is rich and delicious. It’s cooked perfectly and the vodka sauce is amazing. The appetizers, home brewed beer, and desserts are phenomenal too. Step aside Coopers Hawk, I have a new favorite restaurant!“
