50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Merriam

“Great food, nice staff. It took a little while to get our food but it was Christmas Eve and they were extremely busy. Everything came out hot and fresh. Wonderful papusas and tacos. Will return again“

“I never expected a cafeteria in a hospital to have such fantastic food with such friendly staff professionals. I would say that the options were great and the service was exceptional.

Dietary restrictions: Everything was well labeled.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the base floor and is accessible to everyone. Nothing is high up enough to be an issue.“

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“

“Muy rico y buen servicio!!“

“This place isn’t glamorous by any means but you do get what you pay for. It’s the epitome of a midwestern Chinese buffet with different foods to check all of your boxes. Servers are chill and the place is good overall. Don’t understand why people expect to pay 18 bucks for a buffet and expect Caesar’s Palace.“

“This was an important dinner, my son who is 26, had surgery(had his tonsils removed) a couple days ago, and The recovery is described as one of the worst, and it feels like shards of glass in your throat.he has to eat soft food and he had Choices all over the Kansas City metro area. He chose Joe’s, Joe’s mac & cheese to be exact! We live on the Missouri side (Gladstone). So I decided to stop by this evening, and not only get a quart of mac & cheese for him, I grabbed dinner for myself (z-man w/ fries, ribs w/ red beans and rice, Mac and cheese) which I was reluctant to do, due to me having to drive 35 minutes home and I was worried that it was going to be Soggy and cold, Well, much to my surprise, the food was packed perfectly, my food was still hot, and my fries were still crispy! Thank you Joe’s in Leawood you did amazing! I will probably be back in the next couple of days to purchase more Joes mac & cheese! BTW this son of mine recommends Joes to everyone!! He loves all locations! Thank you again!! Sarah Jones (One happy Momma)“

“The trains going back and forth were so cool to watch!“

“Food was amazing! 1000/10! Definitely worth the 7hr drive“

“Had a great experience loved the food will recommend to friends and family“

“The food experience. If you have not been to an authentic BBQ in Kansas before, this needs to be on your list“

“Great food! Fast service! My picky eater said “It’s Yummy!” He personally loves the spam sushi LOL“

“Food is really good, I've ordered many times from them but my last order included an $8.25 fee for carry out supplies. They charge a percent of the entire bill. No where in the check out process do they tell you this. This seems excessive for 6 utensil packs and 5 takeout containers. Many other BBQ places with similar price points do not charge this fee. If you are going to charge extra fees be up front about it.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Thank you Mano and Barbara for making Gene and Jeffrey’s marriage celebration a wonderful night. We appreciate you and your incredible restaurant.“

“We have had season tickets for several years. They always have a great show and fabulous food. However, The Jersey Boys was one of the best shows we have seen. My husband is not fond of the musicals, and he even loved it. We wanted to get tickets to see it again. Looking forward to next season.“

“Great food! Fast service! My picky eater said “It’s Yummy!” He personally loves the spam sushi LOL“

“Leah was amazing! She was really sweet and went above and beyond serving us! Highly recommend coming back“

“Très Fantastique ! Can't wait to return. Thank you for the wonderful food, service and atmosphere!“

“Was walking around the Crossroads area and decided to give this place a try. Came in a little before 8:30 hoping to get a table since it was getting close to closing time. Host and waiter gladly took us to our table.

Tried the bratsalatte, and really enjoyed the flavors of the pumpkin vinaigrette, it wasn't too overpowering, a nice hint of sweetness brought the flavors altogether, was a big fan of the croutons, as they were house made but gave a nice crispy bread like texture.

I had the schnitzel and it was by far one of the best breaded pork cutlet I've ever had. Nice crisp on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. When paired with the lingonberry sauce it definitely enhanced the experience with a subtle fruit sweetness, again not overpowering but enough to balance the cutlet. The sides served was a cucumber salad and Potato salad. Both were excellent in their own ways. At first I was a bit confused with how they were prepared. It seemed as if the cucumber salad should've been prepared the way the potato salad was prepared and vice versa. The cucumber salad had a creamy taste aligned with most potato salads and the potato salad had a pickled flavoring as you would find in a cucumber. But either way, paired with the pork schnitzel it was delightful.

Tried the wife's bone in schweinekotlett, pork cutlet with natural jus and even that dish was just as fantastic. Meat was tender, juicy and the jus from the pork really gave it a nice umami flavor. Parts of the meat were a bit fatty for my wife, but not a problem for me as it's one of my favorite parts of the pork. If you've ever had a good pork broth soup such as tonkotsu that is what the flavor reminded me of.

Service was top notch. Server was very accommodating, knowledgeable with the menu as well as recommending dishes. Although it was right around closing time, waiter offered us deserts and told us we were in no rush. We are in now way experts on Austrian cuisine, but know good food when we taste it. We felt very welcome and would gladly go back again!“

“I think I saw an ad for Yafa Cafe on Facebook. We are always searching for good Mediterranean food, it's hard to find in Kansas City. Seeing Kibbeh on the menu automatically moved them to the top on the list. We really enjoyed our meals and appetizers! The kibbeh was good, the spanakopia was good. All of our meals were good. I really enjoyed the creamy chicken plate. The chicken shawarma was good. Everyone liked the kabobs (chicken and beef). We will definitely be back! The owner and employees were very nice and helpful. Highly recommend!“

“Great spot, I had a coffee and it was delicious. Also ordered soupy momo and they were amazing. Such a delicate spice perfectly balanced with flavor that I didn't even notice the heat until my nose was running. I can't wait to return and try more of the menu! The customer service is also impeccable, you will be taken care of as a customer at this wonderful establishment.“

“The BEST Asian restaurant in the Northland! The food is absolutely amazing—every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding. The sushi is fresh and delicious, and the attention to detail is top-notch. You have to try the crab wontons—they’re a must! We just had the Tokyo crispy chicken, and it was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Honestly, I haven’t had a single thing here that I didn’t love. Chris, the owner, always greets us with a warm smile, and he and his staff make you feel truly welcome every time. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and such a friendly atmosphere—Saki is hands down our favorite spot!“

“After multiple delightful experiences at Viona’s Italian Bistro I was eager to have them cater our “Worksgiving”! Despite the ongoing Farmer’s Market construction in the area, this charming family-owned Italian gem truly shines. The warm, welcoming intimate dine in atmosphere and attentive service make you feel right at home. The catering was no different, she helped me plan a variety of entrees to be served buffet style for a group of 30 (mostly men) and executed it beautifully with leftovers. Their authentic dishes, with rich yet perfectly balanced, flavorful pastas and sauces, are crafted with fresh ingredients and love. Don’t let the construction deter you—this hidden treasure is ABSOLUTELY worth the visit. Supporting local businesses like this keeps the heart of our community alive. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine!“

“Fantastic experience ordering burritos for a large group at my work. Tasty options, easy process, and will be choosing them for catering again!“

“Had a great time at Guy Fieri’s Dive & Taco Joint while enjoying the soccer atmosphere at Kansas City’s Power & Light District. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the carne asada fries, and both were delicious. The carne asada was flavorful, and the fries were loaded and perfect for sharing.

The service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively with lots of fans around. Great food, great energy, and a fun place to hang out while watching soccer. We would definitely come back next time we’re in Kansas City! ⚽🌮😊🔥“

“The service and the food… 12/10! This was our first visit, but anytime we visit KC, we will be back! 🫶🏻“

“Everything was great, freshly prepared and made with love! We thoroughly enjoyed the food and are excited to be back soon!“

“Our breakfast was perfect from our first bite until we couldn’t take another bite! We requested the onions be cooked throughly in our protein bowl, they were perfect. We will be back next time we’re in the KC area. Thank you 😊“

“my favorite fresh spot for salad hummus and tea/coffee, I frequent independence but prefer Westport for the wooden salad bowls, reminds me of my childhood!“

“I love kitties hamburgers, and have highly reviewed them in the past. I was really looking forward to today to one this Friday afternoon and I have memorized their hours.
Behold, they’re closed until the end of February. Was a very small faded cardboard sign on the door.
If they really cared about their customers, they’d have a big one that you could see from the street without having to park and walk um readable one .
And they would at least update their website.
Guess I’ll have to go to Shake shack this afternoon.“

“FOOD = excellent. breakfast potatoes are phenomenal)
SERVICE = perfect. Col was approachable, helpful, and spot-on
