50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Joppatowne

“Real Italian cuisine is served here in ample helpings. Mama's Favorite Caesar salad can be split for two people. It's loaded with soft fresh mozzarella, artichoke, & sundried tomatoes. It's my favorite, too. The lasagna had so much of the wonderful delicate tomato sauce, it was covered. This is the real authentic lasagna of Italy. For a tasty pasta with a kick, the Salmone Al Pesto has a marvelous creamy pesto sauce, & a heaping of small fresh button mushrooms. They say it's only 6 oz. of salmon but the whole plate was covered in large segments of it--it's large enough to take home for a second dinner. Mama had made her own Tiramisu. The delicate sponge soaked with flavor is something not to be missed. Get it when you can. The service from Madison was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable & extremely helpful. This is a wonderful place for authentic Italian meals.“

“Nice friendly atmosphere. The food and steamed crabs were excellent. We were a party of 12 and our waitress, Barb, was very friendly and accommodating.“

“Outstanding“

“I don’t know who needs to hear this, but their $1.50 mimosas and bread pudding with vanilla sauce are worth a visit for their Sunday Brunch! You will NOT regret it!!!“

“Justin was our server for Sunday Brunch. He was very attentive & friendly. The food was delicious & came out fast! We will definitely we back & be sure to ask for Justin!“

“Had the best experience! Our waitress, Ayusha, gave us amazing service from start to finish. She recommended the Chicken Vindaloo, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Curry and every single dish was absolutely delicious! So glad we took her suggestions. The food and service were both top-notch. Definitely coming back!“

“I just have to share the fantastic experience we had tonight. My husband and I went to The Local around 6:30 pm (prime time without reservations lol). The only available seats were a high top table in the bar area. They asked us if that was ok and we said “sure”. Within a minute or so after being seated, it became apparent that our vision of a nice relaxing dinner would be impossible in that room. The Preakness was about to begin, and that bar was loud and hopping! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I love to see people enjoying themselves. It was a party, but just wasn’t our vibe tonight. We decided we would go elsewhere. We politely informed the hostess that we were going to leave because it was just a tad too noisy, but that we would definitely return again soon. We stressed that we were not mad, or upset. As we were walking to our car, a very nice gentleman followed us out and asked if we would consider returning if they could sit us elsewhere. We said “Of course!” We didn’t think there were any other available tables, but he said they would work something out for us. We told him we didn’t expect them to go out of their way for us and that we could wait. Within five minutes, we were seated at a lovely table in the dining room. We later learned the gentleman that helped us was none other than the owner/ executive chef Zack. We went on to have a delicious dinner with the most attentive and charming server. They demonstrated exemplary customer service, which sadly is lacking in many other establishments. We weren’t expecting any special treatment, but they certainly went above and beyond for us, and it was very much appreciated! When we were leaving, Zack happened to be outside, so he made sure to ask how our experience was. We told him it was amazing, and that his restaurant has been one of our favorites since it opened. We told him we would be back soon. Our experience there tonight is just one of many examples why this restaurant stands out, and why we will always highly recommend them! Thank you all so much for proving customer service is not a dying art!“

“A great place to eat, drink and be with friends“

“Gretta was great. Had 1 bad crab out of 12 Kate replaced no problem and no questions asked.“

“This establishment is very well put together and clean and the staff are very friendly. I went there for the first time and got the 2 slice deal which was excellent,I could only eat one slice lol..Mas I was waiting for my food I ask the owner if I could get a cutting of one of his plants and to my surprise he said yes so not only did I get a great meal...I also got a beautiful plant baby!!“

“I really enjoyed the restaurant. I was skeptical at first because I had never tried Jamaican food because I do not like spicy food. This restaurant has definitely changed my view point. The waitress Marlene was fabulous. I will give them 100 stars. 5 is not enough.“

“Amazing. the wait staff was very attentive and very friendly. kitchen staff was on point with everything we ordered. everything was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic. The cocktails were great too. Can not recommend enough.“

“Enjoyed the delicious Maryland Club sandwich and a tasty Caesar salad. Ms. Rachel and the wait staff were amazing and welcoming. The Brunch Menu offers a few tasty options, as well. No matter what you choose, your meal will be a joy to your palette. Will surely return soon.“

“Favorite pizza in MD. I've been going to Pizza John's my whole life. Cheeseburger subs are also pretty good.“

“My son Aaron is on the extreme end of the spectrum and Kiwi is his service dog. This morning, Aaron wanted to go to breakfast which he never asks to do. Sarah Renae and I go to Double T Diner White Marsh for lunch periodically. I called to see how busy they were and if they had booths available. We got a booth in the back (near that giant TV) our waiter was amazing so was the hostess. Aaron does not like going to eat at restaurants because far too often he's made to feel unwelcome because of his service dog. Let me be clear not telling him to leave and making him feel welcome like every other customer are not the same. Today, he was made to feel welcome. Today, his service dog (Kiwi) was made to feel welcome. After we ate breakfast which he had this huge pumpkin Belgium waffle with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel and chocolate syrup with a side a bacon (only 12. 99) I let him pick out a desert for us to take home then he went outside while I paid. He picked the recess cheesecake for himself and the tiramisu for me. One of the hostesses came and asked how things where and if I was the one who had called earlier. I started to tear up as I thanked her and the staff for making Aaron feel welcome and like every other customer. I think it's important to acknowledge when a business not only does the right thing but does the right thing correctly and enthusiastically. So, to the owners, the hostesses, and our waiter (forget his name) thank you from a mom and caretaker this was a big deal for him. Veronica“

“The Power Lunch Specials menu is a bargain at $17.77. The Meatballs & Polenta are excellent. This is 3/4 of the normal lunch menu portion, but is very tasty & extremely filling. The fried calamari is heavy in batter & needs all the lemon juice you can squeeze onto it. The dipping sauces have a lot of hot peppers in them, & are both really spicy. Penne Caprese is fresh & tasty. lovely lunch. Unfortunately, portion sizes vary from day to day. Ask for a full portion. Fettucine Genovese is extremely flavorful. The rich flavor of the cheese enhances the braised beef--a good dish. The coffee had a nice flavor but was watery. It would be much better if they used more coffee.“

“We haven't been here since it was sold. The place is beautiful! The food was excellent and our waitress, Holly was the bomb diggity!!! We had the CRAB COW BERGER and it was the best burger we ever . Moist beef and the crab cake with crab imperial was divine. The fries were cooked perfect, nice and crunchy but just as soft on the inside. They were NOT coated! Prices were very reasonable. When you get food like this, you don't mind what it costs as long as it is great. Again, ask for Holly to be your waitress. The best server we have had in a long time. Professional but down to earth and she was on top of everything. We went to celebrate our birthday's. Holly even sang when she brought our cake out! What a FANTASTIK time we had. Please go and enjoy the staff and food... you won't be disappointed!!! Thanks for everything Holly!“

“The food is always delicious, even at 1 AM. Service is excellent, and always ready in the estimated time window. The employees are friendly, and offer great customer service with a smile. The chicken bowl is my go-to, which offers a good balance of taste, healthiness and price.“

“we had never been there before today. A friend recommended them. The berry salad is perfection! Turkey sandwich with cranberries and brie, perfection. Everything we got was delicious and they answered our questions without tude. everyone was so kind and helpful. our new favorite salad and sandwich shop! thank you guys for a wonderful experience ❤️“

“My wife and I came here on a Sunday evening for a quick dinner. The employees were very kind and attentive. Our waiter took both our appetizer and entrée orders at the same time, something we usually do to save time. The food arrived quickly and was hot when served.

I ordered the Volcano Ramen, Sexy Jalapeños, and Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. The dumplings were tasty, but the sauce that came with them really made the dish, a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The Sexy Jalapeños had good flavor, though the different textures and consistency could be a bit much after a few bites.

The MVP was, of course, the ramen. The broth was hot and flavorful, and the toppings complemented it perfectly, adding a comfortable level of spiciness.

The only downside was being seated by the door. If you’d like to avoid DoorDash drivers waiting nearby for pickup orders, I’d recommend asking for a table toward the back if available.“

“great food and service.“

“I am currently at Bombay Night's beautiful and bountiful lunch buffet.. I always come hungry and leave incredibly satisfied and well-fed..This is such a wonderful, gracious establishment that treats you like family from the moment you walk in the door..I return almost every Sunday for brunch. Their atmosphere, food and service can't be beat..My go to for fantastic Indian cuisine!Hope to see you there! Stop by and say,"Hi"!“

“Amazing food, great area and atmosphere“

“My first dining visit since it’s opening a year ago. The Classic Margarita had a pretty presentation and was oh so good! I really liked the warm tasty chips with salsa and shortly afterwards came the sizzling steak fajita. Flavorful and delicious. I finished the meal with dessert of tasty Churros served prettily with ice cream topped with whipped cream and a cherry on top. My server Alonso was attentive, professional, and polite. Everything was done right. Nicely recommended!“

“Just a good place to go for a good time-friendly staff. Convenient location!!“

“After living in the area for 5 years we finally visited Pairings Bistro tonight.
We were celebrating our 20th anniversary and I’m so glad we chose Pairings to do so. The restaurant is quite beautiful , the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the food was amazing. Loved being able to chose between pre fixe 3 or 4 course meals and à la carte for dinner and of course the wine pairing option. With the many choices for lunch or dinner and seasonal menu this is sure to become one of our new go to restaurants. We could go numerous times a month and have something new and exciting each time. Thanks for the wonderful service and delicious food and wines.“

“Thursday evening was my first time there. We made a reservation and were seated right away. We were there for steamed crabs. Our server immediately put our order in and brought our drinks. Our crabs came out pretty quickly. I can’t say enough about the two ladies that were serving us. They were very attentive but not to the extreme. Both were very friendly. Our crabs were excellent! Not one light crab. We will definitely go back again. If you’re looking for great food, excellent service and a very friendly atmosphere, Bird River Inn is your place to go. Their food prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge!“

“everything is delicious! getting the NY strip with crab cake, to the pasta, the steak tacos, the burgers and crab dip. everything we've ever gotten has been amazing 💪💪💪“

“This is a slam dunk and a hidden gem in Bel Air! Today we met David the owner and he's not only one of the nicest guys you will meet but has a helluva restaurant. I don't know who's cooking in that kitchen but I'd like to hug them. Kabob KORNER is a clean venue and I must note that all the food photos are exactly what our food looked like. Today we experienced Lentil soup. Delicious!!! I chose the saffron bowl and my wife had a two meat platter consisting of marinated chicken & beef. 10/10
As we were leaving I grabbed two bowls of Lentil to go and some pistachio letche' desert Mr. David recommended. KABOB KORNER IS A MUST STOP.“

“The waitress staff is the best in the area. Never wait for a refill or to be served. They all come over and recognize that you are back and greet you accordingly. The afternoon staff for lunch is the best. I’m not sure of their names but they are the best!!“

“Food is soo good! Never gotten anything I sis not like“

“It was great all around, from the sushi to the service. On point, well done“

“We came here last Friday for my fathers wake. Everything was perfect, food was hot and refined quickly. The server, Mike was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“Though the staff was a bit slow, that criticism is totally knocked away by how good the food was. It was the best Thai food I've had in Maryland.“

“Saved our wedding cake! One bakery fell through and didn’t decorate our cake. My MiL and BiL coordinated with Brian to decorate our cake and I was none the wiser until after the wedding. Thank you to the Farmacy team for decorating the cake beautifully!“

“We just had our first of many dinners at Island Spice. The lamb chops, rasta pasta, and drinks were outstanding! The service was excellent! We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“This was the first time eating at banditos and the experience was amazing but mainly due to our waitress Amber. She paid attention to what we needed and answered all our questions and very attentive. All of the food came out fresh and the drinks were delicious.“

“Basta Pasta We went there for Father’s Day and Paul’s birthday on July 3rd, just Paul, Brian and me. For his birthday Paul ordered the New York Strip steak with two sides, me and Brian ordered Chicken Chesapeake. Mine and Brian’s were great, 1/2 pound of crab cake over a chicken breast with a lemon sauce, it was delicious. We ordered with red potatoes that were fabulous. Now we come to Paul’s steak. He said it was the best steak he ever had. It was thick and juicy and had a charred outer crust. He shared with us. He ordered asparagus and red potatoes with his. All was served with a big bowl of salad and bread that we shared before our entree. How was that for a review?“

“We drove Fromm Annapolis- 50 minute drive. Crystal was our server on Sunday afternoon. She was super pleasant and kind. The atmosphere was fabulous and comfortable. We ordered a dozen large crabs and they were full, heavy and amazing. The seasoning was perfect too. We will be back again for sure! I highly recommend this wonderful out of the way restaurant. Worth the drive!!“

“From the moment you walk in, you feel at home. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, all made with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your meal is perfect. I'll definitely be back!“

“Today was my first time really trying Korean food. As soon as we walked in we told the woman at the counter that it was our first time and she gave us some great suggestions. We ended up getting beef Bulgogi as well as mandoo. The Bulgogi had such sweet and rich flavor. The kimchi was crunchy and spicy. The woman working who I assume it’s the owner was so happy that we came to try out Korean food. I could tell she is so proud of the establishment. We will 100% be back again And will try some things a little bit more out of our comfort zone. The food was just as amazing as the customer service. 10 out of 10 recommend.“

“They have really Great food. Lots of variety. Made well. Portions are huge! The serving staff is wonderful. Best kept secret😘“

“Loved dinner tonight! Soft shells were legendary. Service was top notch (Reese is excellent). We will absolutely return on a regular basis. Great stuff!“

“I’ve been coming to Pats for as long as I can remember. About 8 years ago it became a regular thing for my husband and I. We met our favorite server around then and are so grateful to get to continue going back and getting amazing quality service. Heather is an amazing asset to Pats. No matter day or night when she’s on the floor running the dinning room, our dinning experience is A+. Sad to see she’s no longer on tables on Wednesday’s we were so surprised. But that didn’t stop us, we just come on the weekends. We visit on her shifts only so we know we are guaranteed top notch service. She knows the menu front to back, always has any answers to our questions we need and always serves us with a smile and awesome attitude. If you’re looking for good food portions, and amazing service stop in and dine with Heather! Best server around :)“

“Jo is AWESOME! we love when we walk in and see her- because it means we will have awesome super friendly service! Very excited to hear they will be remaining open! Make sure you come check them out if you haven’t been recently it’s worth the visit!“

“First time ordering a large pepperoni pizza. It was cooked to perfection and just the Right amount of crunch to the crust. The person who took the order over the phone was very polite. They said 10 minutes and I got there in 10 minutes and it was ready. Arrived
home and it’s still piping hot and delicious.“
