24 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Waukegan

“We are from WI and found Big Ed's because it was close to the hotel we stayed at. Unfortunately they we out of a few favorites but we found others and all 3 meals were outstanding. I had a full rack of ribs which were amazing and the wings were just as good. Service was great and super friendly...every employee was helpful and had smiles on their faces. Love the mom and pop local family business and already planning trips back to try the favorites they were out of as well as past the word on to everyone we know that loves BBQ. Well worth the hour drive!“

“Really delightful little middle eastern joint. Ordered the shwarma wrap. They bring you out sauces in bottles, so you can use as much as you wish. The wrap was delicious. The feel inside is cozy. The real jewel is the service. The woman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and you can see she takes pride in getting to know her guests. Great mom and pop feel.“

“I grew up going to this place almost every day! Spent my allowance on soda and candy there! Now that I’ve grown up and moved away, I still make the hour drive every now and then for their awesome comfort food! The Paterson family is just like our own family❤️ I recommend Louie’s to everyone ❤️“

“Show me my family have been coming here for years always loved this place yes it can get a little expensive but it is well worth the food to be honest I've never had a bad experience in my life coming here I would say that if you're out of town or trying to find something new to try definitely try this cuz it'll be surprising and what you can eat here all of the waitress here are really damn good like I can't like emphasized on how good they are they're so sweet kind and everybody talks to each other they're all friendly as heck“

“Most excellent pizza in town!“

“absolutely the best sub sandwich in lake county“

“Good ol’ reliable Poppy’s. Hooking up servings from when we get out of middle school to this day. The owner always shows love and keeps a smile on his face. Pizza puffs, ice cream, chili cheese fries, this is the spot for those Chicagoland meals that are bang for your buck. I never had a bad experience here.“

“Food has been fantastic. 3rd time there for after work eating, relaxing. Service is great. Tasty foods! Everyone is so nice. Glad we we're told of this gem ! Molly (I call her super Molly..lol) is a GEM !! Great attitude, smile, friendly, attentive. She is fabulous to say the least. Not many places have such nice employees as Anastasia's does. Molly goes beyond expectations ! I'm sure others do also but Molly takes the cake for us. Great going Anastasia's !! Oh...get your shirts too folks. (Brian).“

“I walked to this place during my lunch break, and I'm glad I did. The chicken burrito was amazing. Instead of shredded chicken, it was the chicken used for fajitas. I loved it. The orchata was very good. Quick and friendly service. It's a hidden gem“

“I been to this place many times for Hispanic cuisine and it's very excellent and reasonably priced! I had several great things here! Today I had the octopus ? Tostadas for probably my 3rd or 5th time and it was nice flavored and fresh ingredients. I love coming here with a group and I never leave disappointed! High compliments to the chef and staff! I even had the shrimp empanadas and fish tacos and it was delicious. I love how the food is made here and I love the cleanliness of the restaurant as well! I even had the sandwich and chicken chimichanga and it was very fulfilling! I do suggest the chips can be better be like Chilli's chips which are the best. Besides that I love Toluca's and their strawberry horchata is excellent as well!“

“We ordered carry out to take home and it was delicious.“

“I did an order of 3 taco platters the morning of an event via messenger & it went incredibly. The communication was perfect throughout the day. The tacos were the best part of our event and each guest asked where the food was from - a huge success. Would definitely order from here again. Thank you, Taqueria El Primo, for the amazing service and delicious food.“

“Best seafood in town“

“The food is always fresh. They’ll always get my order right. I’ve been coming here for 40 years! My adult kids live about 50 miles away but whenever they come to visit we ALWAYS get Ming Toy, nothing compares. My favorite is Chicken Hong Sue and the chicken is always perfect. My new son in law doesn’t have a Ming Toy favorite YET, so he tries a bunch of things, and EVERYTHING is great! Any friends who come back to Waukegan from out of town always stop for Ming Toy. It’s a treasure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Parking: Parking is on the corner of Lewis and Yorkhouse. It’s tricky if you aren’t used to it, you really need to be careful.“

“Maybe it’s because we also run a family business that this place feels special to us. Kudos to the family that runs this place. It’s not easy running a business, but it’s so cool to see everyone here working together. The food is classic Chinese take out and it never misses. We love the house special fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and steamed dumplings. We order that at least once a week.“

“It was highly recommend to us and now I highly recommend this place. My wife ate the wild west burger and I ate the classic burger with bacon. The burgers were delicious and priced good for the size. The fries were so good. The service was top notch.“

“Best Place for Ceviche. I've been coming to this place for years and the Ceviche never disappoints. Also Micheladas are fire. Prices are resonable and they do have a kids menu for those with kids. Definately a great spot for a Bite.

Parking: Street Parking is Free after 5pm on Weekdays and Free on the weekends.“
