50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Wadsworth

“This place was hands down THE BEST Mexican food spot around town. If i was on death row, I would order from this place. The tamales are out of this world, better than Mexico itself. My moms food does not even touch the level of Michelin this place deserves.“

“food and staff are always amazing. we have been coming for years and will continue to visit for years to come.“

“Excellent service, we were waited on by Esme and she was attentive, happily answered any questions we had about the menu and made sure we never had to ask for anything. The drinks were top notch and the food blew us away. We have lunch for at least another day. We were 6 hours away from home and just picked a place for breakfast, but if we lived close we would be regulars.“

“Really enjoyed our visit to MBC. Our bartender, Christian, was spot on. She answered my many questions quickly and correctly. A small mix-up in my order was remedied immediately. Good draft selection. (32 0z. option, mmm). Cheese curd sampler outstanding. The two of us almost couldn't eat more. Glad we did, though. Double patty smash burger, yummy. Three bacon choices, yummy. (Think large Steak and Shake, but GOOD). Fresh cut fries, battered fries, and tons of menu choices. Will be back.“

“This has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat. Every visit feels welcoming because the staff are genuinely kind and always make us feel right at home. That level of hospitality keeps us coming back just as much as the food.

The meals are consistently delicious, and we've never had anything less than a great experience. It still feels like one of those hidden gems that's waiting to be discovered. If you appreciate flavorful food, friendly people, and a relaxed atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Always been sweet but now they are selling buds the old fashion way.....you get to open jar and smell if the sheet is any good .....let me tell ya about this purple grape stuff I got to day....

“We went to El Camino to celebrate the Birthday of my son's fiancé. We had a great time. The food was delicious and seeing there were 12 of us we had a good variety of menu items. Everyone loved it. our waitress Emma was a pure delight. It was pretty busy when we got there and she never missed a beat. Very friendly, attentive, and prompt. Great food,service, and atmosphere. we highly recommend.“

“First time and definitely NOT our last. The spot was hopping and we could see why! The staff was warm and welcoming and gave us great recommendations. I think I left my fork spinning on the plate. Best BBQ I have had in ages! And meeting Big Ed was the topper! Came out making sure everyone was enjoying. THAT is top class and for sure demonstrates how the Chef stands behind his food, brand and name. 11/10 on everything! Thank you!!!“

“My fiancé and I went for breakfast at the Gurnee location yesterday. Both mens and womens bathrooms were out of order. No additional bathrooms for the employees!!! How can a restaurant be able to be open without facilities for patrons let alone the employees working an 8 hour shift!?!? Our waitress pleaded for me to call OCHEA!! She also said it is not the first time!!“

“I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! They went above and beyond to take care of my veteran fiancé for Veterans Day, (even though we were a day late in being able to visit), taking care of us like family, from the regional director to all the restaurant staff. The food was terrific and my fiancé loved everything; the food, the staff, and the military/first responders decor, and the respect given to veterans. They even put his picture from his Army service days on their wall, which gave him a huge smile when he saw himself displayed on their wall along with photos of so many other veterans. And even though we don't live nearby, we will make it a point to visit them every time we get the chance to. Thanks again to everyone there!!“

“Food is always great and their service is amazing. They have an extensive menu with everything from great appetizers to traditional Japanese desserts. Good selection of drinks both regular and adult. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. You can depend on having a great experience!“

“What a great spot for breakfast! 🍳☕ I had a wonderful experience from the moment I walked in. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. 😊 The food arrived fresh, hot, and full of flavor, making it the perfect way to start the day. 🥞🥓 There were plenty of tempting options on the menu, and everything looked delicious. I’ve heard great things about the chili, so that’s definitely at the top of my list for my next visit. 🌶️😋 I’ll absolutely be coming back and would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty breakfast and excellent service! ⭐👏“

“Great atmosphere and Taylor always takes care of her customers!“

“Very Good Dinner tonight. We had Brisket dinner over mashed, dark chicken thighs with mashed and garlic shrimp over pasta. All meals were quite good. Ample portions. Only fault today, Food came out too fast... salad was 2 minutes behind our appetizer, and main course was out before we were done with our salads. We will be back.“

“Modern decor, great service, excellent meal. Nice couples place. Not sure what to get? Our server gave us great recommendations. Will be back.“

“Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe has got to hands down be the best food I have had in my 32 years of life. We just got home from a girls trip for my daughter's golden birthday in Chicago this past weekend and I'm ready to hit the road to go back. She ordered the kids Oreo s'mores pancakes of the kid menu. I got the 2 eggs meal which came with 2 eggs, hash browns, choice of meat (got sausage links) and either toast or pancakes. I chose toast. We then ordered her 2 dippy eggs, a side of biscuits and gravy, and got a side of bacon to share. The biscuits and gravy are hands down top tier the best recipe I have ever tasted (I ended up ordering 2 more sides to take home so I would have breakfast tomorrow 🤤). Even after stuffing ourselves with this delicious food none of our group felt miserable in any way. there was no belly discomfort whatsoever. We just felt full and nourished. I will be coming back as often as I can. The food is so hot, so fresh, so flavorful, and overall it was a wonderful experience. Everybody was so friendly , smiley, and just warm personalities. There is quite a wait on Sundays (not sure about other days) but I would wait 4 hours if they told me I had to. They do have an option where you can get on the waiting list online (we did not know that since this was out first time). Now let's talk about their preserves they make in house 🫠🫠 they make a triple berry compote with blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. It was literal heaven. They sell jars as you are leaving for $11. Guys you have to try this place. I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews but it's so good I can't not leave one. If you want the best brunch food you have ever had in your life I can promise you you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Until next time wildberry keep doing what you guys do!“

“After a couple of years away following an uneven prior experience, a recent return to Bottaio with friends proved both reassuring and mildly frustrating. The dining room remains one of the restaurant’s strongest assets: warm, attractive, and inviting in a way that signals classic Italian comfort. Unfortunately, that promise is undercut by one persistent flaw—seating that is simply uncomfortable. After fifteen minutes, the chairs distract from the experience, an avoidable misstep in a restaurant that otherwise understands ambiance. Service, by contrast, was a highlight. Our server struck an engaging balance between edgy and personable, and—most importantly—demonstrated genuine knowledge of the menu and wine list. Wine selections, guided by their recommendations, were uniformly well received by the table, showing thoughtful pairing and sound judgment. The meal began on a high note with excellent crusty bread, a simple but well-executed opening gesture that set expectations optimistically. The entrées, however, struggled to rise beyond adequacy. While none were poor, they failed to deliver the refinement or depth one hopes for. The veal parmigiana arrived in an impressively large portion but was overly breaded, sacrificing balance and nuance. In contrast, the risotto stood out as the best dish of the evening—properly executed, flavorful, and satisfying. Other diners echoed a similar sentiment: the food was good, but never quite great. This mirrors past experiences and suggests a recurring issue rather than an off night. Bottaio remains a solid option for casual Italian dining, particularly for those who value ambiance, wine, and congenial service. With greater attention to detail in the kitchen—and a renewed focus on authenticity and precision—the restaurant has the potential to elevate its culinary standing meaningfully. One hopes that future visits will see that promise more fully realized.“

“We normally make it to house of Gerhard a few times a year, always enjoyed the food and the surrounding, this last trip was a bit of a surprise when we ordered the waitress gave us choice of soup or salad, one of them being the French onion soup being the other choices that's what we picked. She did say there was an up charge, but we were kind of figuring a couple dollars which was normal ended up being eight dollars each
Had I known that I would've taken my chance on getting explosive diarrhea with the salad
That was our only disappointment. Everything else is usually very good. Some of the customers there are getting sketchy with guys dressed like girls wearing purses with pink hair, but you just have to take the good with the bad.“

“My husband just brought home food from Fogcutter, and as usual the food is amazing!! the pizza is my favorite in all of Lake County. I literally day dream about those garlic green beans. And this was my first time trying the mashed potatoes, and no shocker, fantastic! Thank you for being the best!“

“Friendly staff, great food!“

“I went to barbecue productions for the first time yesterday and Annette was so sweet and welcoming. I had a lot of questions and she was very helpful didn’t answering them with a big smile on her face. She is the best, and the food was delicious!“

“Atmosphere + fantastic food + excellent service = my Stevens experience. Whether in the cozy dining room or at the large oval bar, it's a great experience. The staff is professional and friendly, even Leslie the owner spent time with us. I would give it 10 stars if that was an option. Have been there several times and never disappointed“

“Very inviting folks! Absolutely delicious and HUGE portions for a very good price! I'll be eating off the chicken teriyaki for a week!! HIGHLY recommend!“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“My favorite pizza in the area! Gluten-free friendly, amazing food and even better service. I had a large pickup order today for myself and my family and when I arrived the kitchen manager came out to describe that they had to restart one of the pizzas, offering to let me go now with the rest of my order - plus the messup free for extra snackage - and that he would come deliver the remake himself in a bit so I didn’t have to wait. The entire staff was so friendly, kind and accommodating during the pickup and communication process. If you haven’t had Kaisers, what’re ya doin??“

“Food is always good as usual“

“We were driving through the area and wanted Mexican food when we stumbled upon Dulce Margaritas. The food was so flavorful and the service was awesome! We enjoyed talking to the owner and will definitely be back! I'm looking forward to a margarita already!“

“We went there for the first time over the weekend. Everything was delicious and everyone was so nice! We’ll be back.“

“Great Food! Great atmosphere and Great service! Highly recommended!“

“As an out of country guest, I have been a patron with every visit to this great part of the country. The quality and flavour of all the offerings, together with the fantastic service throughout, and the family atmosphere makes this a gem deserving of all the accolades. Freshly squeezed orange juice, skillets, benedicts, omelettes, sandwiches, waffles, Greek yogurt, and of course the namesake pancakes! The list goes on and on! May God bless everyone involved in running this fantastic staple in the community. Do not miss out on trying it out and returning again and again!“

“Louie's is the best place to eat in Waukegan. Great Italian food, thin crust pizza, fried chicken and fish. Everything is great. They give you the best bread hot from the oven when you sit down. Huge bar. Family friendly. You can't go wrong at this place.“

“The best fried chicken I have had since my mom's fried chicken. Tastes exactly like fresh home fried chicken, not reheated from frozen, but fried to perfection. 🥰😋 Delicious!“

“I wish I got some photos because of how lovely everything was! Best wonton soup in the area hands down, and always pleasant service! We used to come here often enough that the lovely waitress would recognize my boyfriend and ask if he wanted their (fabulous) Thai beer. Wonton soup is garnished with cilantro, green onions, and DELICIOUS fried garlic, had to order some to go! Fresh sushi that is rolled very well with beautiful presentation, delicious drunken noodles, perfect miso soup, and very fresh house salad with crisp red onions (I've never had such a nice house salad like this before, honestly!) Great portions and everything always the perfect temperature!“

“GREAT SERVICE!! our waiter, June, was the best! he was very nice and so funny, good vibes the whole time! The food was so yummy and our waiters recommendations were very helpful!! thx!!!!“

“Great service, friendly staff“

“We held a family funeral lunch at Lino’s. The staff was welcoming, attentive and very friendly as they took care of our party, which filled their banquet room. We had a couple of chicken dishes, a couple of vegetable dishes, a garden salad, potatoes, and cannoli for dessert. Our guests raved about the food, which was delicious and hot! We could not be more enthusiastic in our recommendation of Lino‘s!“

“Not as much fun as thirty years ago but still not bad.“

“Reasonable prices, Good food“

“I have been going there for 60 years and it is still the very best. You order it with double sausage and what ever else you like on it and don't forget to order it well done. Everyone I take there said it is one of the best pizzas they ever had.“

“Bry was AMAZING! So personable and me and my friends had such a great meal. This place is also so affordable. Bry knew what she was doing and she was so great with providing info on the menu. She made this experience awesome🫶also this was the carrot cake and it was amazing!!“

“This is our family's favorite restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries, dinners with large groups...At this point we've been here probably 10 times and never once have we had a bad experience. Every server goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a WOW experience. The food and drinks are amazing every time. Last night we decided to try somewhere new since we just ate at Primo the previous weekend. The prices were the same yet the service and food did not compare. From now on we'll stick with here, where we know we'll have an amazing experience.“

“Best place ever“

“This restaurant doesn’t have indoor seating. If you want to sit and eat, you will have to sit outside. Overall, the food including the shakes rock! Great place to grab food on Washington St in Waukegan!“

“Was there Thursday night we had Braised Short ribs and crispy Brussels sprouts was delicious service was great the bartender colie made me a special drink Wow will definitely be back“

“I want to thank the man with glasses at the counter for his kindness and generosity I appreciate it very much great personality and selfless! Thank you again 🥗💙🙋🏻‍♂️

Idk if you(of anyone else taking this)have faith in the 1 true God but if you don't please seek Him out today while you can, call out to Jesus Christ and you WILL be saved! ✝️=💙🙋🏻‍♂️“
