50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Springfield

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

“We had a nice introduction by the owner and the atmosphere was great. All the staff courteous and nicely groomed and very professional. Everything from drinks to dessert was top notch.“

“Today was my first time visiting & I was highly disappointed. Not because of the drinks or food but because of the lack of customer service. I went in right before closing, not realizing it since it was my first time there. But I was going to pick up something for a friend. Anyway, I walked in & there were three people behind the counter, one man & two ladies. They all looked at me while they were talking & then turned away as if I hadn't come in. I stepped back to make sure I was in the right place. As I turned to leave, there was another lady walking by so I confirmed I was in the right location & asked if I could still place an order. She says yes & started talking to one of the ladies behind the counter. But I made her aware of what happened & she was a little helpful. However, I ended up not placing an order. It's hard for me to walk into a place of business & not be acknowledged at all & still do business. I left feeling really disappointed. After being gone for 10 years, I'm relearning Springfield & finding new places to enjoy. But this is one place I will not be returning to. I'm not sure if anyone will care, but I just couldn't let the rudeness & lack of customer service slide.“

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

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

“Saturday was our Anniversary, we had such a wonderful meal with outstanding service. We will definately be back. 😊❤️“

“absolutely delicious a very unique.“

“The food was really good!! Our server Tracy cracked me up!! She was not only a great waitress she was so personable and funny and on it with her quick service of drink refills. I would definitely come back and request her! She recommended the wings with the dry rub and they were sooo delicious!! Nachos were good too!!“

“went to eat there tonight had the sampler platter it was terrific, had the dumplings for dinner was fabulous will return“

“Been coming here for years and have moved away and crave this place so much! This is my go-to for a big hot plate of filling, healthy, delicious, soul warming food. My family loves the crab rangoons- they’re light, crispy, and not too crabby for the non-seafood eaters. My personal favorites are the hot pot, sweet and sour chicken, cashew nut chicken, and pho. My boys love general tso’s chicken.

Lunch portions are still generous, affordable, and come with soup.

You can’t go wrong with a single thing on this menu so make sure you give them a try.“

“A very cozy place with an ordering counter and a sit-down dining room if you're sticking around. Despite the counter service, the staff was lovely, welcoming, and attentive. They brought fresh bread to the table, unfortunately with a small to-go cup with a small drizzle of olive oil and another of pre-grated parm. A slightly more generous cup of olive oil would have been nice. The carbonara pasta would have been good off the bat if they had properly seasoned it, but some of the extra parm and a generous dose of black pepper got it there in the end. The pizza was the star of the night. Chewy dough with really good gluten development, very nice sauce that was balanced and a nice contrast to the cheese, and quality toppings that weren't too much or too little. Was very tempted by the cannoli in the case, but I will leave it to others to try as I was stuffed. Could be a great place but needs to tighten it up a bit. Would try again though if just for pizza and to try that cannoli.“

“We had stopped in on Sunday. Food was great, great service and great server!“

“I have been here on several occasions with my fiance and the service is efficient and friendly and the food is fantastic. Hailey has taken care of us a few times now and always ensures we have a great experience. Make sure to check out the rotating cocktail menu and ask about the burger of the moment!“

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

“I just wanted to give a little shoutout to Dino at Route 66 MotorHeads Bar & Grill, Museum & Entertainment Complex. I’ve been here multiple times before without kids but this is the second time I’ve been here with my kids. The first time was a couple weeks ago when we were headed to a tournament in Chatham. The kids and I stopped for lunch before we headed there. My son has high functioning autism so he takes particular interest in classic cars. While we waited for our food he ventured outside to check out the classic cars and struck a conversation with Dino. After a bit, Dino told me how well mannered my son was and then told me son to always check to see if he was there next time we were in. My son felt like ROYALTY. Most people do not give my son the time of day because he he operates differently and struggles with social conversation. Dino didn’t care. As soon as we left my son said “WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO SEE DINO, I LOVE THIS PLACE” Fast forward to today, yet again another tournament in Jacksonville meant a surprise stop for my kids at Motorheads. My son didn’t even sit down to order his drink, he immediately looked for Dino. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there. We had the same waitress as last time and she remembered us. She told my son she would go double check to see if he was there but he wasn’t. 10 minutes later….Dino walks in with his daughter and greeted my son with excitement and told him he brought a different car this time so once he was done ordering his food he’ll show my son his SSR. My son was STOKED and so excited that he remembered him. He let my son sit in the SSR and showed him the engine and how it operates. He taught my son the ins and outs of his Vette the first time and the SSR this time. This lengthy post is just to say that Motorheads will always have a special place in our hearts because it’s the perfect place for families and they LOVE showing kids the hot rods. Specifically to Dino: Thank you for showing such special attention to a boy that just wants to learn but normally gets a cold shoulder. He’s curious and you noticed that immediately. Dino, you’re my son’s new hero and best friend (you don’t know that but you’re forced now 😂). You don’t know how much it means to me as a mom to see this for my son. We love and appreciate the hell out of you.“

“The pickle 🥒 Pizza was amazing. Possibly the best pizza I’ve ever eaten!“

“This by far my favorite restaurant in Springfield. I am a frequent customer for both dinner and with coworkers for the lunch buffet. I especially like that the buffet always offers a different dish to try which helps me decided on what I will order from the dinner menu. Food is always freshly prepared and delicious. The service is excellent and the restaurant is spotlessly clean. The servers are attentive. I highly recommend Gateway to India.“

“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!!!“

“I went here for the first time yesterday and I will be back. I had the Benachin Chicken (jollof rice) and I also got the peanut butter soup meal for later. The chicken was so tender and tasted great. The rice was seasoned well. The star for me is the Peanut Butter soup! It is so delicious! it has a nice kick and the seasoning is nice. The beef in the soup is tender as well! I can't wait to try their other dishes!“

“The best food & service! The restaurant is always clean.“

“Best family owned restaurant around. Has a wide variety of Asian cuisine. Top notch service and food!“

“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!“

“I highly recommend this place. I was looking for a place to hold a surprise 50th birthday and Boone’s came through for us. Mike was very accommodating and his brother and staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was great and loved the atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience!“

“Disappointed today. Stopped in for a to go order of our favs, but.. Food was tasteless except for the heat. Rice and noodles were soggy. Definitely a bummer on this trip.“

“Stopped in here for the first time for a quick breakfast. We liked the ordering process. We placed our order at the counter and then seated ourselves. Our food was brought out a very short time later. It is a very clean, nice restaurant. They have an outdoor patio as well. When we were done eating we simply bussed our table and left. Super easy.
The food was fantastic. We had a breakfast bowl, a bagel breakfast sandwich and an oatmeal. No one was disappointed. My breakfast bowl was very flavorful and the avocado and chorizo sausage was awesome. The oatmeal and bagel were also very good I was told. We cleaned our plates! I would definitely go back. Delicious!“

There were only three waitresses on staff that night so service was slow; but she did a great job getting all of her tables waited on and hot orders out.Food is always excellent.“

“I'm in town for a conference and saw Yummy Crab when I drove in. I was looking for a good casual place for dinner, and decided to try this. Wow!

Next time I stop by, I'm definitely trying one of their specials - so much deliciousness to choose from!“

“After visiting Aztca a lot over the past few months we were able to have Nico bring out the food truck for my graduation party and it was great!! Food was 10/10 with plenty of different menu options… even had churros. Nico is super friendly and everyone raved about how tasty the food was!“
