50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near South Chicago Heights

“I live literally across the street from the Dozelis* in South Chicago Heights and I will never go there due to the fact they have such HORRIBLE attitudeS AND ARE AS RUDE AS CAN BE! . Instead, I choose to go to the one on Joe. Or road in Chicago Heights because George and his whole crew are entirely AMAZING people! nd they make you want to come back over and over just because of their whole spirit and energy. They are the nicest people. You can come across, especially in the service industry nowadays. The fact that they are so giving of themselves and go above and beyond for their guests and customers. I can't even begin to tell you what a great place This is! Prices are decent, the food is ALWAYS HOT & DEEEELICIOUS! George and his crew GET THE JOB DONE!!!! GO TO THE 1 ON JOE ORE ROAD THEY WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE CARE OF YOU! Thank you for all that you are George! We need more people like you in this world!! ECSPECIALLY in food industry!

“Was recommended this restaurant from a friend. The maple tree and did not disappoint. Made a reservation online easy. Their menu is awesome, simple and delicious. Crab cake was perfect! Our dinner was fantastic. We had trout and shrimp. They have the best banana pudding over crème brûlée. The coffee for an end cap was out of this world good!“

“Doug was patient, cordial, very attentive. My mom, 96, has not been out for a meal in 5 yrs. Doug made this a pleasant experience for the 4 of us. Comfortable sitting, great comfortable noise level, not crowded sitting( we had a wheelchair), food excellent. Pork shoulder outstanding. No stickiness on anything. Best day/meal ever! Thank u Doug“

“Mishkenut is our go-to when we want all the goodness of a slow-cooked, savory, healthy meal with the convenience of carry-out. The falafel is perfectly crispy, the hummus silky smooth (you can ask for it extra spicy!), pita warm and fluffy, shawarma seasoned to perfection, and Fatoosh salad with house dressing is light and tasty to balance everything. Plan ahead and call in your order with at least an hour of lead time. Dining in? Call ahead and don't sleep on the delicious hot tea with pine nuts to sip while you wait.“

“It was a fun time I had a wonderful day“

“Delicious pizza and a very large restaurant to serve larger groups! Service was wonderful!“

“I went here Sunday for lunch. The food and service was excellent. I had the steak and chorizo taco with rice and beans. Both tacos were filled with meat. Super good and filling. I highly recommend the apple pie. I got the dessert to go and it did not disappoint. It was the best apple pie I have ever had.“

“Wanted to try something and stumbled across this! Absolutely delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely be back!“

“Great burrito. Great atmosphere. Good rices.“

“This restaurant is great. Very fast service and generous portions. Lots of easy parking. Prices are very reasonable“

“Well, if they cook your food properly, it's not bad... however, if they don't and you need to send it back to cook it (not a fan of raw burgers 🤷‍♀️) and it comes back the same way... be prepared to not eat and pay for the meal anyway. I asked for it to be removed from our bill (over $100 total so not just a couple things) and they removed it after a small "fight" but literally charged us for a basket of fries cuz I ate a few fries off my plate, I guess. they don't take care of their mistakes nor do they care to make things right. Lost future business, everyone at the table was shocked.“

“Chris was a fantastic server.. He was absolutely phenomenal on the ball and had a great spirit about him .. the food is amazing.. Thanks Chris for making us feel like family.“

“The Best Breakfast Place Around!!“

“We typically love it here. However, we had an easily avoidable issue yesterday. The app only allows the "call ahead" for up to 6. We had a party of 12. So, we called the location to ask if they could accommodate a party of 12. We kept getting placed on hold by 3 different employees only to be told they can't give a time estimate until we are physically there (15+minutes btw of employee after employee). Okay, we pack up and head there. After arriving we are told they can't even sit the 12 of us together and it's a 1.5 hour wait. What a WASTE of OUR time. I understand the wait is based on the customer traffic. But if you guys know you can't sit 12 together, TELL US OVER THE DAM PHONE!!!!!!“

“One of my favorite places to have a perfectly prepared dinner. The food never disappoints. Portions are large, so taking home enough for tomorrow's lunch is always possible. The service is really great. Most of the servers have been there for a long time so they know the menu well and are attentive without being obsessive. My favorite on the menu is the Tournedos of Beef. The sauce over them is wonderful.“

“I've been coming to Rosati’s Pizza in Matteson for over 6 years now, and they’ve never disappointed. The food is consistently delicious — from the perfectly crispy thick crust pizzas to the hearty pastas and sandwiches, everything is always fresh and flavorful. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the quality has remained solid over the years. Whether I’m picking up or getting delivery, I can always count on Rosati’s to hit the spot. Definitely one of my go-to places in the area!“

“The best bar, feels like home“

“Their beer cheese soup is amazing! I had it at Gordon Ramseys place downtown and the soup here is better! It’s worth a trip just for that and the bread and better alone!“

“Good food. Good prices too.“

“awesome, even with take out. always hot and fresh.“

“Just tried Rico’s yesterday and WOW. Ordered two large pizzas and they were coming out of the oven when I got there for pickup. Excellent flavors, perfect tavern-style, crispy thin crust, and friendly staff. It’s crazy that we’ve lived around the corner this long and haven’t tried it until now. This is definitely going to be our Pizza Friday spot from now on!“

“We ❤️ Thornton Distilling!! We come here regularly and I just realized I've never left a review encouraging others to check it out. The food and drinks are great (obsessed with the lavender lemonade they make in the summer), the bar itself is very cool and historic and their outdoor patio is dog friendly. My husband has done the distillery tour for his bachelor party and thought it was really fun. Highly recommend!“

“The service was good and so was the food.“

“Best best pho ever. I get pho combo each time. Egg rolls are delicious and wings are delicious I always come here for a few years now. Pleasant servers. Cordial and accommodating.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service“

“I love Arrenello's pizza! To me and my family it is the best pizza. I've been getting it for over 25 years and it still tastes great each and every time!“

“My husband and were at the ER across the street with my father after a car accident for hours. We realized we hadn’t eaten the whole day and were “starving”. We had a short amount of time to grab food, I realize picking a sushi restaurant isn’t the staffs problem that I am in a rush, but I let the server know that we were in a bit of a “time crunch” and would like to order our appetizers and entrees right away. Our server was extremely understanding and accommodating. The food came out so fast and was just as amazing as usual. Our server was clearly making a great effort to get us out quickly per our request. We left almost in shock of what a great experience and food we just had after a terrible day. I didn’t catch her name, but thank you very much.“

“It was a beautiful experience. The waitress was very pleasant. The food was delicious“

“I have never ate in the restaurant, but we order from Uber almost every weekend since we found it. We have NEVER not liked our food. The food has been amazing, hot & fresh every time we ordered, which keeps us coming back. If your looking for a great breakfast or lunch they have a great selection at good prices. Take my word for it, you won't be disappointed!“

“This place is sooooo good. They're very accommodating to exactly how you want your food to be made. I get the Philly Cheesesteak dipped like an Italian Beef and it is sooo good! They're great and so nice anddd they stay open until 12am, super convenient. Worth it!“

“Always a fun experience! Delicious food!“

“Great food! Staff is very friendly and pleasant!“

“Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“whoa. wasn’t expecting everything to be a 10/10! My brother & i went on a saturday morning around 10:30-11a, —PACKED! but we got seated right away! no wait That shocked me…waitress took a little moment to get to our table understandable considering there were large parties in there 10+. However, once she took our order the food came out fast, & it was piping hot😩. now i’m not the biggest pancake fan but the pancakes are AMAZING…the smothered breakfast potatoes were so damn good….this location has a strong 10/10 for me. Cant wait to go back…food was so damn good i forgot to get a before pic😫😂“

“Love this place, but the dining area is massively reduced (March 2025). Might be just getting worked on (?), not sure, but had family in from out of town that loves this place too and we couldn't fit our group so we had to go somewhere else!“

“Good food. I tend to do breakfast“

“Mi especialidad para comer son tacos pastor , asada , pescado ,birria y el ceviche 👍“

“I went there for the first time. The vibe, service and food was great. my only issue was the automatic 18 percent gratuity. it was only two people who had one drink each, burgers and appetizer. Our bull was 89.00. Also we were not given an actual bill we were just told our bill was 89.00. I didn't appreciate that and have never experienced that before.“

“Lathaniel was amazing. Celebrated an early mothers day lunch/dinner with my mom, sis and nephew. He was attentive and supplied all of our needs and more. I will definitely be requesting him in the future. The food was hot and drinks cold! Perfect!!!“

“Great classic diner! When you come in you’re promptly seated and if there’s a wait, the staff is quick to turn over tables as soon as there’s room. The Munster Mustang is the quintessential breakfast to get before a fun weekend day. Wait staff ensures your coffee is never empty! Riviera knocks it put of the park!“

“Food is always top-notch in my book! Wonderful service!“

“I give it 10 stars great food and they very friendly“

“Cuando entre no pense que me encantaria la comida. Pero es una de las mejores enchiladas de asada que eh comido, que hasta el plato limpie. No caen pesadas a tu estomago . Muy buena comida 🍲 Me encantaron!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Incredible food and service. If you get in the Midlothian one, Rosemarie is excellent.“
