50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in South Bend

“Our favorite. Great food, drinks, atmosphere, and terrific service. Leeann's presence added to our enjoyment of two birthday celebrations. Just the right interaction. Answered all our questions about the menu, made suggestions when asked, helped us choose the perfect wine.“

“When eating my delicious food, I began to choke on a brussele sprout. Branigan immediately lept over the table and gave me the Heimlich maneuver, within 30 seconds I was able to breathe again, however, this wasn’t enough for Branigan. She called the hospital and use her own insurance to pay for my medical bills. Thank you to fiddlers hearth, and a special thank you to Branigan. If anyone is lucky enough to have her as your server you’re in God‘s hands.

“October 8, 2025
Can't argue with my first review. Been here 3 times now.

Had The Mariner, delicious!

June 2025
First, this is NOT an appropriate place for kids, and you'll be asked to leave if you bring them, this is an old style BAR. Adults only.

My burger was delicious and the staff was friendly! Sorry I started eating it first. Greasy and great! Full of beef and gluten.

If you love nostalgia and don't mind the smell of old smoke and a hint of pee, scratched paint and air vents hanging from straps, you'll love this place. It's like going back to the 60s or 70s!

Be sure to enjoy the vintage Popeye sign from the 50's advertising a hamburger for 10¢!

If not you probably should avoid it.

This place leans into letting people self-select to not be here. But in my opinion that just means it has an unapologetic personality.

I am NOT recommending this place for the sub 40 crowd, you probably won't like it and the regular won't feel bad about that. If you don't mind stepping out of your comfort zone in a big way, try it. If not they won't miss you.“

“Steak fajita skillet!! 😁😎“

“This place has Amazing food! I try to get here once a week! Service has always been great and QUICK! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I see that other reviewers commented that it was slow… Obviously they are used to drive-thru meals!“

“😀😀 great place. good prices“

“Have never had a bad meal; their food is authentic and the service is awesome!“

“I’ve been coming here with my family since i was a little girl, the food and service is always amazing! if you haven’t tried politos yet, you truly are missing out. The bread is AMAZING! I always get a thick slice of pizza with bacon, which is $2.99 without tax by the way!“

“Food was excellent!! Huge portions! Great taste!! Great flavors!“

“Love Pizza King & this didn’t disappoint! Clean, friendly, fast, convenient & delicious! Owners truly care and it shows! We are from Holland, MI & will come back again!“

“eat their best Mexican food“

“Their normal dishes are tasty and delicious - but nothing overly spectacular. Their sushi is very good for the area. South Bend isn't exactly the easiest place to get super high grade fish to and they do it very well. They are by far the best Sushi in South Bend. The lunch value is incredible, $12 for 3 sushi rolls with soup and salad. You simply can't beat the quality and price.“

“Very good food. Awesome service. My favorite dish is the Randy Moore. They have great portions as well!“

“I visited this bar to do Emo Night Karaoke and I had a good time. Corey and Jess were great bartenders. The bar was busy but not cramped or uncomfortable. Diverse crowd of all ages. There was plenty of seating indoor and out. The sound was great for the show. I'd visit this bar again.“

“This place is great! Atmosphere is amazing and the staff are super friendly, happy and efficient 🩷 The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order, I am always delighted. Plus, it's all at an affordable price! #topnotchfood 😊 I cannot recommend this place enough! 🫶🏾 10/10“

“My daughter and I love the breakfast here! Our waitress, Chris, did a great job today!! Super friendly and fast service!“

“Best pizza in South Bend!! Enjoy going there everytime I go. People are very friendly and courteous. They can be busy at times so you'll have to possibly wait but it us worth it.“

“Loved the service and the OJ!!“

“Seems like a popular spot, lots of cars and people popping in to pick up orders. We sat right down and 3 of us ordered (one order just being a Mickey Mouse pancake, one an omelet with a pancake, and one skillet with a pancake) but it seemed like it took FOREVER for our food to come out. We waited well over 45 minutes. The food was good and well priced, the waitress was friendly. There were lots of options. Would have liked to try other things from the menu eventually but don't have time to waste sitting there like that. Not sure if it always takes that long as this was our 1st time going there. Probably will not be returning.“

“Good food here can be steep but great sushi overall, from someone who frequents Chicago often and gets very fresh sushi, Woochi offered fresh fish and good tastes. My significant other often comes here as well and he doesn’t really eat sushi so there are options for everyone!“

“I would've eaten in the restaurant if the clientele hadn't been staring at me. I don't think that they are used to seeing a white Cuban with an Asian. Especially when the white Cuban has a genetic disorder that affects the weight.

Vegetarian options: Can't read the menu because there really isn't one and it would be in Spanish if it was. It would be helpful if they had an English version of their menu.

Dietary restrictions: Mexican, Hispanic, Latino foods aren't friendly towards corn allergies or sensitivities. I do wish they had more corn free options, but I won't hold my breath for that to happen.“

“customer service is great The food quality is tasty and well prepared.“

“Has some of the best actual Chinese food in the area and amazing sushi. I can’t wait till they have the dining room open again“

“This is my south side of South Bend favorite! Highly recommend the black pepper chicken combination plate and fantastic egg drop soup! I have never had a bad meal here and I have probably ordered here at least 100 times. The portions and prices are more than fair! You are missing out if you haven't tried Oriental Express! Truly a hidden gem.“

“Visiting South Bend for business and I stopped by here because its in the same parking lot as my hotel. Walking in, it looks like a typical Chinese restaurant, with the low lighting, red and gold booths and golden cat decor and buddhas. The restaurant was quiet and not very busy, considering that I visited on a Monday night, I wasn’t too surprised. As far as the food, I wanted to try something new and ordered a chicken dish on the menu. Although I am not a big fan of water chestnuts my food was pretty fresh, hot, clean and flavorful. I have to say, I was surprised at the great quality considering the inexpensive prices! The food came out rather quickly too (probably due to the restaurant not being busy) and the server was pretty attentive and sweet!“

“Ordered pizza through the Slice app. Ordered pepperoni and jalapeño. It was on time. The delivery person put the pizza on the porch…the cement…while it was raining. We did not choose contactless delivery. Open the pizza box and immediately tell it’s incorrect. It’s made with pepperoncini and not jalapeño. I call the store. No one answers. I try again and nothing. Contact Slice. They called the store and the store advised that the pizza was made correct. I assure the Slice person it is not. Sent them a picture of the incorrect pizza. Got 20% back. So ruined dinner and got back around $5. This sucks. No more Bruno’s for us.“

“Staff was friendly

Had a cheesesteak and a Rueben which were very good Fries are old school good

We each got a small sandwich which was plenty of food

IMO a step up from the competition“

“I love eating here, have been coming for years!!! They are pro law enforcement and have always taken great care of us!! I recommend a 3-4 spice on the pad sew or pad Thai!!!“

“Super fun place. Trivia on Thursdays, great live music on Fridays and Saturdays. They have awesome cocktails and bartenders!“

“Had a really great time at Texas Roadhouse with my family today. Our server Elizabeth A took amazing care of us and it really helped the whole family have a good experience.“

“Love this place. Wish they still offered shrimp as a pizza topping!!“

“The cream of mushroom soup is good. The pretzel is very tasty to One recommendation remove that chili off of your menu it’s disgusting and taste like something that comes out of a can. No flavor no seasonings We didn’t even eat it and told the waitress but she just said ok“

“Absolutely spectacular
Genuinely the best sushi I’ve ever eaten in my life. I was so impressed with the craftsmanship of the sushi chef. It tasted even better than it looked. Bathrooms are extremely clean. Service was unbelievable. The lady that waited us was extremely nice. If I lived in South Bend, I would eat here at least 4-5 times a week. I’m left speechless!“
