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.“

“We ate there this week, had a lovely dinner with attentive service by our waitress, Lisa. The manager came over and welcomed us and expressed concern for our comfort and enjoyment. It was a perfect evening.“

“Zach came by my table n ask me if I needed anything. this place has the best service n good food I noticed that Zach is always keeping busy n making sure you enjoy your time at Allen's“

“We were on our weekend road trip and we stopped at the Fiddlers Hearth on Friday, May 15, 2026 around 9pm EST. It was a bustling night, but our server was wonderful. He was very attentive and making sure we had everything we needed at all times. My friend and I both had super delicious meals. They have a wide variety of different Irish dishes and we were not disappointed. Finding little places to stop when driving instead of fast food pit stops on the highway is always much preferable.

“We came here on 05/14/26 for a nice dive. And that is exactly what it is. We decided not to eat as seeing the food coming out. We can’t comment on the taste but many people ordered and seemed happy. Service was good to very good. Atmosphere is definitely dive. The drinks were mediocre. I would advise not to order anything complex over a 1 liqueur drink. All in all not a bad place to just chill. Crowd seemed great.“

“When you plan a trip to South Bend / Notre Dame University don’t miss the opportunity to dine at Rocco’s Restaurant The Original Pizza of South Bend since 1951. The owners Linda and Warren are Amazing Hosts as well as the Staff. Everyone is treated like family whether you’re a first timer or a regular. The food, you won’t find a better Old School Family Run Italian Restaurant. Everything made from scratch and fresh. 🇮🇹👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇮🇹“

“I had the Szechuan beef and the chicken wings. Everything was delicious. The staff was fast and friendly, and even offered me more rice. Their prices are very well. In fact their lunch menu is less expensive than most fast food carryout lunches and definitely a lot more healthy for you.“

“Great service, great food, and great prices!!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Best Greek salad in the world…“

“Classic south bend restaurant!“

“They have great food. And ask for server Antonio. He is awesome server. He needs a raise. He did awesome job at our dinner tonight. Never had him before he was on top of the whole night. Thank you Antonio.“

“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.“

“It was my birthday, and I was craving an apple pancake from The Original Pancake House. So we drove an hour, and met family there. Nancy, the Owner, was our waitress, and she was fun and attentive and made my Brunch Birthday a very special memory! The food was great! We would eat there more often if we didn't live an hour away, and if they were open longer hours.“

“This place is incredible! We had them come out to our facility for our staff meeting. The smell alone was enough to pull me in. The tacos were amazing. The meat was so flavorful and tender, and the tortillas were fresh and soft. They even pile on the toppings like onions and cilantro, and the salsa they provide is delicious—the red one has a real kick! The portions are huge, and the prices are super reasonable. The family running the truck is amazing, incredibly friendly and fast with the service.I'm already planning my next visit.“

“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!“

“The owner is an awesome gentleman with great wit and conversation skills! He has great advice. The food was amazing, the pancakes had a distinct flavor and the waitress was amazing and ever pleasant. Whenever I come by the area I will always go out of my way to stop by bills place !“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and drinks and service! Great atmosphere“

“I was only there for about 2 hours or less but it was karaoke night but there wasn't a lot of patrons but the ones who were there really made me party their little group and I even join in karaoke. it made a bad day better‽
great customer service great bartender they were very empathetic about my situation and allow me to charge my phone a little longer while they were closing up. I really appreciate that was great customer service To Me¿‽¿“

“😀😀 great place. good prices“

“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“

“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.“

“Hadn't been to Penn Station in years and decided to give it a try again, my sub was delicious, the price was reasonable, and the staff there were friendly and pleasant. The store was clean as well. I will definitely be frequenting this location!“

“We ordered the Easter dinner this year based on past positive experiences and boy, we were not disappointed!! It was absolutely delicious! We knew it would be good, but it was really wonderful! And so much food for the price. With groceries being so expensive now, you couldn’t buy that much food for such a good price. We added sausage and noodles (duh!) and it even came with dessert. Can’t wait to have it again!“

“Atmosphere is very laid back and quiet when my husband I went. Wasn't packed on a Friday night. Our waiter was very friendly and awesome! Food was plentiful and delicious. You wont be disappointed. It was a perfect experience for my husband and I to have a nice quiet night out for dinner.“

“Absolutely amazing. It has been a long time since I've been able to find another restaurant that has authentic offerings aside from the standard American dishes. I ordered the garlic cabbage and 3-cup chicken. The chicken dish was new to me and it was fantastic -- full of flavor and the sauce is great over rice. Will definitely be back and am looking forward to trying more of the offerings.“

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

“I absolutely enjoyed being there with my kids today! We had state testing for my homeschooler & we have been dealing with a lot as a family & to be welcomed by such kind people & our awesome server Amanda was a fantastic experience!!!! Just melted our stress away for a bit!!! One of my big girls is in behavioural health & we had been feeling so rough! We will be stopping back in in the daytime when my kids & I are back in South Bend! The turkey melt & the chicken bacon sandwich are fab!!!!! Great place to go! If you have kids with you definitely go during the day!!!! My baby son ate his first fries & ranch there!!!!“

“My nephew and I each had the brisket sandwich and fries. It smelled so good we couldn’t wait until we got home to eat it. The fries were perfectly crispy and the BBQ sauce was 🔥. I definitely recommend!“

“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“
