50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Lexington

“We stopped here after a long day attending Scarefest in Lexington, and were not disappointed! So many amazing vegan options and customizable. The beer-battered burger is one of the best vegan burgers I’ve ever had. I think had I added jalapeno, it would have been hands down the best thing ever. The wings were just as great! All sauces we tried were tasty and the wings themselves were flavorful. Can’t forget to mention the oatmeal crème pie cookie 🤤 Next time I’m in the area, this will definitely be a stop.“

“Amazing service and excellent food! Huge portions, me and my husband could’ve split one meal! 10/10 recommend!“

“My friend and I stopped here from out of town; very impressed with both the non-vegan and vegan options. The food was EXCELLENT, staff was very friendly. Black beans, etoufeé and jambalaya were all excellent. Would come back in a heartbeat. Bellamy the travel frog gives it 5/5 frogs.“

“Best food, portions, price and service.“

“First visit to their new location - quiet, funky and laid-back spot for delicious, eye-watering Cajun/Fusion; Tammy's Thai Peanut is definitely choice! ??? Also, I could go through a gallon of Stingin' Honey in little more than a month - it's addictive! ?

Vegetarian options: Tammy's Thai Peanut Etouffee w/ peppers, baby-corn, etc. is the featured veg entree (its great!), but there are a couple more.“

“great ice cream! very fresh“

“Delicious. A respectful suggestion; the menu could be improved. There was a lot of options that seemed very similar scattered across the place. and the description was lacking. There was certain words or categories without descriptions that I wasn't sure about. It made it more difficult to choose( I will own up to my part of not knowing much about Japanese food).
It would be cool to go help them make a menu I think it would fun. If y'all want help on a menu let me know we could colab. Art, detailed breakdown of each item and some good food.“

“The taco flights (The Filthy Fajita, The Smokeshow and The Gangsta) were Amazing as was our appetizer (Shrimp Rangoon Bites)!! Strawberry Bombshell on the rocks was definitely the bomb! Speaking of being the bomb, gotta give it up to our server Tonni and the general manager Nick who were both so nice, helpful and accommodating!! We will definitely be repeat customers! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!“

“We had Gumbo ya-ya cater our son’s graduation party and it was fabulous!! We had multiple cajun options from the restaurant for guests to choose from and at the end of the night people had gone back for 3rd and 4th servings!! We were so pleased, the owners were amazing and made sure our special event was enjoyed by all. No one walked away hungry and everyone complimented us on the food!! We will definitely use them again. Thank you so much!!“

“Love this exceptionally Queer friendly coffee shop. The staff learns regular’s names and the clientele is fabulous! Probably one of the most unexpectedly lovely experiences I had was when another patron wrote a compliment about my nail polish on her iPhone and flashed it at me so that she wouldn’t interrupt the conversation I was having! I’ve never even thought of doing something like that and it definitely fit the supportive vibe of this coffee shop, as did the hug we exchanged afterwards!“

“I had been wanting to visit DV8 for quite some time now, not only for my love of trying out new places, but because of the background of this place. Let me first say, I visited the Broadway location on 1/19/25 and cannot wait to come back. The environment was great including the decor and the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I had the breakfast tacos and took home the chicken salad and it was amazing. I couldn't leave without snagging a couple cups, hoodie, and a sticker. Having a passion for those in recovery (I have 12.5 years myself) I couldn't wait to get myself in this place and now I can't wait to come back!!“

“Stopped in with my partner last Monday afternoon- our first JM experience. In short, the food AND service were first-rate. The manager struck up a conversation without being pushy... rare AND much appreciated! We had cold subs this time- after the next visit(steak&cheese), I will review in more detail. 2 new happy customers!!“

The grilled pork is tasty and well-seasoned, veggies are perfectly fresh and crunchy, and it hits the spot when I get the craving. The pho is also delicious, boba tea is tasty and fresh, service is friendly and quick, and the price is very good. So glad to have such a great spot in Lex!“
