21 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Urbana

“After today's experience at Baldarotta's Porketta & Sicilian Sausage we will never be going back. The level of unprofessionalism and discrimination exhibited by one of their owners was astonishing. To give a brief synopsis we were excited to try out their new location for lunch. We were immediately met with rudeness for no apparent reason by the woman at the counter, I later learned she was actually one of the owners. I honestly just brushed it off and didn't think too much into it at first. But that changed the moment we said we would be eating there and get time changed even more as she stepped out from the counter and said "I'm going to stick you guys in here." as she turned on the light to the extra dining room. For context there's maybe 15 tables in their main dining room and two or three of them had customers. Additionally, this was around 11:30 am and there were no customers behind us in line. The extra dining room was dirty and had food on the floor and the tables needed cleaned. The couple that had been in front of us got great customer service and the woman was very pleasant with them. It became very apparent that we were being treated differently due to the dog, who is a trained service dog being with us. We decided to ask for our money back and leave even though we love their food and have been looking forward to it. When we walked back into the main room and poorly asked if we could cancel our order and be refunded the response we received was absolutely in a harsh tone. She gave me my cash back and I said thank you. She responded by ignoring me and agreeing as if I was invisible. We walked around the building to the parking lot and I told Matt that I couldn't leave without having a conversation with her because the entire interaction just did not sit well with me. I walked back in and patiently waited for a couple at the counter to finish ordering. It should be noted the light to the other dining area we were told to go sit in was off again. Again when I approached I received a cold response after witnessing her being very pleasant with the couple in front of me. I asked if I could speak with a manager or someone in charge. That is when she informed me that it was her and she was a part owner. I asked her why she has been so rude towards us and that we felt discriminated against because of our service dog. She told me she didn't see anything stating he was a service dog. I explained ADA law does not require a service animal to be vested and that she never asked if he was or even mentioned dogs were not allowed, had she asked or said something we would have informed her he was. I would also like to note that the majority of our interaction with her Lambeau was sitting or in a down stay not causing any issues. She admitted that she did treat us differently because of the dog and said she could have handled the situation better but never actually took accountability or apologized for the entire situation. I'm sorry for the long read but I truly couldn't stay quiet about this. I hope she learned something from this interaction today and as much as I'm saddened and disappointed in the entire situation I'm honestly glad it happened to us and not someone who is not able to speak up for themselves. I truly hope they decide to do some self reflecting and learn how to be more accommodating for individuals with disabilities in the future.“

“This is a favorite hangout to enjoy good drinks (some specialty non-alcoholic German drinks available), food, and friends. We also love the chance for shopping during the Christkindlmarket and other events like Oktoberfest. Highly recommend anyone check this place out.“

“Bunny’s Tavern never disappoints. We often visit before seeing shows at the Station Theatre, and get drinks after. The food and drinks were great as always, and the atmosphere makes it easy to settle in and stay longer than you planned…which we definitely did tonight, hanging out and playing the slots right up until close. What really stood out, though, was a moment of genuine kindness from the staff. Just before closing, a very elderly gentleman came in wearing his Illini gear, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, clearly thinking it was morning or game time, even though the game had long since ended. He sat down and asked for a cup of coffee, and the bartenders greeted him by name. When they gently told him it was nearly midnight and they didn’t have any coffee brewed. He was completely surprised. “You gotta be kidding me!!” One of the bartenders sat with him, spoke kindly and calmly, and then said she’d walk him home and help reset the clock in his apartment again. After what was clearly a long shift, seeing that level of patience and compassion was honestly beautiful. Great food, great drinks, and truly good people behind the bar. That kind of grace says everything about a place. I’ll be back, and I’ll be recommending it.“

“Had one of the best Reubens ever. Thank youChef. Tara was efficient, pleasant and accommodating. Come in as a stranger, leave as a friend. Will definitely return❤️“

“Tiana is literally the best! You’ll never get better service anywhere else. The food was fantastic and so was the service. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better dinning experience in my life. The Lava Trio and Grilled Salmon Ginger were phenomenal. I can’t say enough when it comes to the customer service. I’m a huge foody and dont mind spending money for good food and service. I’ve traveled all over the world and this was one of the best experiences ive ever had. Tiana was the best server I’ve ever had while dinning out and I’ve been all over the world. Truly fantastic. This place would not be the same without Tiana. She honestly puts the cherry on top.“

“A long time staple on Goodwin, in south part on campus. You are in the right place here for cool in hot summer and warmth in winter. Bread🥖. friends.“

“Best homemade food for miles. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff and greet service. Has become my husband and I’s favorite place to go.“

“Great food, great experience and great owners. I manage a local contracting company and during the hail storm they kept their business local and chose our company so we should to!“

“The taco salad is the best one I've had in town
Their sangria is amazing
If you have a large group it is best to take the patio seating... so... no big groups (over 6) should visit in the winter unless you dont mind sitting at different tables.“

“Very friendly staff, was able to accommodate a large group and the food was fresh and very reasonable priced.Our large group was served very quickly.“

“Wonderful food and service! Highly recommend!“

“Shout out to the Intermezzo Cafe staff at Krannert Center on campus today. Wonderful customer service and delicious food. Today's lunch special was a BLT and side of your choice. After a brief hesitation (I love BLTs!), I opted to order the chicken salad wrap and fruit cup. Delicious! They offer a decent variety of breakfast and lunch options with quick and friendly service. Highly recommend if you have not tried them.“

“the food here is fantastic. especially like the red curry, and pineapple fried rice. the flat noodle dishes are also good. everyone that works here is warm and polite. they always cook my order fast, and quote accurate times. it's always very hot and fresh.“

“Normally, the food is great and shopping is fun. But 3 days ago, I ordered the homestyle chicken salad and the salad was mostly yellow lettuce - the chef had cut the heart of the head into the salad. It was so bitter that I could not eat it. I mentioned it to the server, who should have noticed, but didn’t. Why did the chef serve this? Still, I would recommend because the food is usually good.“

“Rosati’s Pizza in Urbana has quickly become my go-to for delicious, reliable comfort food. Whether I’m craving their deep dish, thin crust, or a hearty Italian beef sandwich, they never disappoint. The pizza is always hot, cheesy, and loaded with toppings—perfectly balanced with that signature Rosati’s flavor. The staff is friendly and quick with orders, whether dining in or picking up. I also appreciate how clean and organized the place is. Great value for the quality, and the portions are generous. If you’re in the Urbana area and looking for classic Chicago-style pizza or just a great meal with great service, Rosati’s is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“5 stars ! but your fb page has been hacked“

“Rotate my visits between this location and the one off of Prospect and Marketview in Champaign.(not an everyday thing) Nice to have people call you by your first name. Excellent service and like the TV show, The Price is Right!“

“Very good food and pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Will definitely eat here again.“

“My go to Americanized Chinese in this area. Food is always hot and yummy, and made correctly the first time. You get what you pay for. It’s a family owned business with kids drawings hanging up, sometimes even the kids helping process transactions. Looking for a hot delicious cheap meal? This is your spot.“

“This is simply the best chinese place I have found in three years of searching. I came from NJ, and for anyone from NJ, Fuzhounese is what we typically get. I cannot reccomend this place enough.

I loved the General’s lunch special and the Fried Wontons. The Almond Chicken was also a great one, as the person lying down on the couch can attest to.

The portions on even the lunch special were generous, with this being one of the few times I stopped halfway through. The bag was almost overstuffed, and the only way to extract the containers was by ripping the paper bag. (RIP)

Overall, best chinese since leaving NJ, and would reccomend highly.“

“Delicious food and great service“
