48 Best Vegan Restaurants near Winthrop Harbor

“Having lived in India, this is true Indian food! Everything we ordered was delicious! I was amazed to see the Pakora even done the way it is served in India. The food is spiced just right and done to perfection. It made me feel like I was back in Rishikesh. ❤️ The owner is such a sweet, kind man as well. Namaste! 🙏“

“Amazing vegan entrees, smoothies and desserts.“

“Love El Camino - food is great, margaritas are the best and Nicole is a fabulous server! We ask for her whenever we come in!“

“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.“

“Absolutely Impressed at the taste, friendliness, & cleanliness of this restaurant. This was my first time trying mediterranean food but have to say Im absolutely impressed at the balance of all the ingredients and spices coming together to form such a beautiful pallet of light but flavorful aroma and taste NOT led by salt as many restaurants do, but then again Im not sure if that is exclusive to mediterranean. Entering the restaurant and being GENUINELY greeted so kindly was refreshing in this day & age. The lemon water with ice was such a tasteful touch to the experience that made me GLAD to dine in instead of take out that night, & influenced me to dine in after I came back the day after. Yes, It was that good I had to come back the day after. I ordered the chicken & beef shawarma not knowing what to expect. Im hispanic so when it arrived, seeing the pita cut up into triangle pieces, seeing the seasoned rice, juicy beef, chicken and grilled vegetables, I knew what had to be done and did exactly that by instinct. There is no understatement and even less exaggeration when I state that I will quite literally never forget my first bite of that pita with grilled vegetables, beef, chicken, rice, tajini & gyro sauce. The following sip of that lemon infused water quite literally cleansed my pallet and let me savor the following forkful of that yellow rice and grilled vegetables I just HAD to try on its own. The 3 sauces given to me during my time there gave the restaurant and its food a sense of solidarity, like It was almost a sin to eat without them. The server then gave me a small square of baklava to try near the end of my meal and I fell in love with this spot even more. Restaurants really don't do it like this anymore, and Im glad to have found a spot that still cares & provides to their customers at this caliber. Will be returning with the family for sure, fan of this place at first bite. Oh, I forgot to mention, I paid $15.01 for this experience, that should be more than enough convincing if you are on the fence about visiting here!“

“Wide variety of healthy vegetarian options at a reasonable price.“

“Daily Dose offers some of the best lunch options around Kenosha. They have a good selection, including plenty of vegetarian and healthy/clean options, which I really appreciate. My personal favorite for lunch is their tofu wrap. Beyond the delicious food, the staff is consistently kind and welcoming.“

“Such a cute place with extremely good Ice cream! Definitely a place to check out!“

“Mad Rooster’s commitment to excellence shines, from hostess’ warm, friendly welcome to the scrumptious food, to our outstanding server, Azialey. Even though we visited on a busy Sunday, we felt comfortable and not rushed. Our eggs Benedict, waffles, and omelets were fantastic, served piping hot. Azialey was friendly, welcoming, and professional, greeting us with a smile, answering our questions on our orders, and striking a balance between checking in on my friend and me during our meal, refilling coffee and water, and leaving us time to talk. We had a wonderful experience! Thank you, Azialey!“

“We just went here for lunch while up in Kenosha for the day and everything was OUTSTANDING. We loved the environment. Everyone was so friendly. They have a patio where you can bring your dog. I had the cheeseburger quesadilla appetizer and it was so good. I'm not usually a chipotle person but it was just the right amount of heat. My fiancé and I shared the loaded fries and they were also good. But the star of the show was the corned beef tacos. They were so fresh and delicious. The corned beef is so tender and flavorful. I took a chocolate cake slice to go and can't wait to try that when I'm not so stuffed. We will definitely be back! My fiancé said he wishes he could go back for dinner tonight!“

“in my first time recent visit it was beautiful inside and felt like fresh air its really a peaceful vibe, i ordered the chickpea wrap and loved it definitely a spot to enjoy“

“We ordered Valeo’s pizza in Bloomington tonight because we had received a coupon in the mail from them. Honestly, before we received the coupon, I had no idea where they were even located. They will definitely be our go to for pizza from now on tho! Everything about the Valeo’s special pizza was excellent! The two men working tonight were both very friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great tasting pizza!“

“Tasty food and this guy is so nice!! The soup is so so good. And the Jerusalem salad. Love the canned juices in the cooler! Huge cans of 100% juice in flavors we can't get elsewhere like passion fruit & watermelon. Generous portions, casual atmosphere. Appreciate the padding on the chairs. It's a relaxing place to eat. My family says the food is "amazing" "pita and hummus and shawarma are quite good.". We'll be back.“

Great steaks, drinks and atmosphere!! Seriously, his friend was dreamy!! Thank you Stevens for a wonderful evening, one my new sailor will forever remember! Love from Texas!!“

“Chef mark straight up killed it! My wife got the birria bagel, and I got the candied omelet. And it was fantastic!!! Highly reccomend going for brunch, and or dinner.“

“Best seafood in town“

“Good food, large portions. I had the New Orleans Pasta, it had 5 shrimp, must have been a full chicken breast, and some really good sausage. It was not as spicy as I would have liked, but still good. My son had the Country Fried Chicken, with mashed potatoes and country gravy, and a broccoli cheddar rice dish. It was huge, and for $2 more you can get double chicken. A great value for your money. Oh yeah, they start you with a honey glazed croissant, gratis!“

“Been coming here since they opened. Consistently good food and friendly staff. Love the burgers and paninis. It’s livelier than the traditional diner, partly because of the bright walls, and a great place to eat!“

“We were visiting from out of town and were fortunate to find this lovely place to have a Mother's Day breakfast. The food was phenomenal as was the service. They were very busy but you would have never known it by the attentiveness and smiles from the staff. The flower they gave to all of the moms was a beautiful touch. I am a little sad I didn't go back before we left to bring food home with us. We will definitely be back the next time we visit the area and I will have a cooler ready to take some of the delicious food back with us. Thank you for making Mother's day so special!!“

“Really good flavorful food for a good price. The portions are great. This is a great fast-casual spot that I would be happy to come back to. The spice factor is definitely there if you want it! Food came out pretty quick too. Great vegetarian spot with tofu options as well“

“I want to thank Nikki at MOD Pizza for her kindness and support. She was so thoughtful in offering dessert to the individuals from Aspire and even provided fun activities during lunch. Her generosity and welcoming spirit made the experience extra special for everyone. Truly above and beyond service!“

“Came here after a long day of walking at the nearby amusement park. Place was not very crowded and we were able to order immediately and sit down. I ordered a mod pizza with several custom toppings. Pizza came out relatively fast, about 15 minutes, and were very warm. Pizza came out delicious and perfectly cooked. Pizza definitely filled me up fully. Overall, strongly recommend for a delicious pizza!“

“Ordered via delivery and the pizza was phenomenal. Highly recommend....support local!“

“Service was fine, portions a little smaller,but good. And STILL NO DIET ROOT BEER, which prevents my friends and I from coming more often!“

“The menu at Go Fresh Café is a treasure trove of healthy and delicious options. From fresh salads to gourmet sandwiches and wraps, there was something for every palate. I decided to try their signature quinoa bowl, filled with a vibrant mix of vegetables, protein, and a flavorful dressing. Every bite was bursting with freshness and perfectly balanced flavors.“

“Must-Read-Review!
If you're a fan of flavorful and aromatic dishes, the Hyderabadi Biryani is a must-try. From the first bite, you'll be transported to a world of rich, vibrant spices and tender, perfectly cooked meat. This biryani boasts a harmonious blend of saffron, cardamom, and cloves, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The rice is fragrant and fluffy, with each grain perfectly separated and infused with the savory depth of the biryani's spices. The garnish of fried onions and fresh coriander adds an extra layer of texture and freshness. Served with a cooling raita or a tangy salan, this biryani is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Every aspect of this dish is executed with precision and passion, making it a true five-star experience.“

“Food Review: Robin Hood – Gurnee, IL

Nestled in the heart of Gurnee, Robin Hood may not yet be the most buzzed-about spot online—but what it might lack in web presence, it surely makes up for in character and service. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt like a well-loved local gem: warm lighting, congenial chatter, and a sense of community that’s rare to find.

But what truly made the evening shine was our server, Brianna. Attentive without hovering, she struck that rare balance of offering recommendations, anticipating refills, and knowing when to leave us to enjoy our meal. Her genuine warmth set the tone for the whole evening.

Brianna checked in at just the right times, with a refreshing sincerity—you could tell she cared. When I asked about a dish’s preparation, her response was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, as if she’d be excited for you to try it too.

In short: Robin Hood in Gurnee might be easy to overlook online, but it’s a place where thoughtful service meets solid, satisfying food. If Brianna’s energy is any indication, this is the kind of “hidden favorite” that deserves more recognition“

“Great experience Owner of Comfort Gurnee recommended and even provided a gift card to try your ice cream !! He’s a big fan !!!“

“Thank you so much for everything you do and the amazing food!! I really appreciate the Vegan friendnly and Plant-Based choices!!“

“I went to this place just today, the waiters were amazing, so kind and on top of stuff. The place is so big, and although they were busy, it was very sanitary. The food was amazing and had many options. The atmosphere overall was so great, everyone was so nice and it was decorated beautifully. Overall, I give this place a 10/10, definitely would recommend.“

“Toppers is our go to place for our weekly pizza night! They have great deals for pick up and my teenagers LOVE the selections. My hubby's fave is the Stinger while my kids are the Meat Topper and Loaded Tot-zza. The Toppers Stix are so good to. Best place in town for Pizza!!!

Vegetarian options: They have a complete vegan pizza and stix menu“

“Last night me and my Fiancé went to the restaurant for dinner. The service was amazing for being busy. Our waitress was making we had everything we needed as well as other waitresses were checking on us as well. It made for a great dinner all around. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The service is excellent.“

“Food was good, mu daughter was amazed of sa fan andvthe decorations“

“Overall, it was a great experience from the first time I went several years ago. There was a mix-up with our order, and it did seem initially that it was blamed on us (gave us wrong order) but was quickly fixed. There's definitely not a ton of space for large families, but we managed as a family of 7.“
