24 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in South Portland

“Went there for New Years Eve at the new location. They told us it was going be at least a 45 minute wait and we were ok with that. Host took our phone number and added us on the wait list on his tablet. Took a seat out by the host stand and waited. Another couple came in about 15 minutes after us, also a party of two, and the same host told them it was going be a wait and they took a seat next to us. Even though we had been there 15 minutes longer and greeted by same host with tablet, he forgot about us and seated them first. Even though we were waiting right next to them and he looked right at us when he came to tell them to follow him to a table. We finally just got a seat at the bar. We ordered appetizers, two rounds of drinks and dinner. Again told it was going be a wait because kitchen was backed up. That was fine. Got our drinks and appetizers. Then my girlfriend’s entrée finally came out but they forgot to bring mine! I thought it would be out in a few minutes, but after 1o more minutes waiting for my food I finally inquired, and they had somehow forgotten my entrée. They comp’d one round of drinks. Love the new location. Love the food. But we chose the wrong night to go! I’ve never gone out to eat and ordered the food and had them forget to bring my entrée out.. By the time I got my dinner my girlfriend was done with her food. Just asked them to bag it for take-away. Still tipped 20% as I’ve worked twenty years in resturants. Kind of disappointed with New Years Eve dinner. Took the night off early to go have a nice meal and they forgot my meal!“

“We LOVE an evening out at Tuscan Table, South Portland location in fact we go every week! Our preferred place to sit is at the bar where we know we will always get excellent service from our favorite server Sammy. Sammy always greets us with a friendly smile and remembers what we like to drink, she also remembers how we like each dish that is ordered prepared even if we forget to ask, she knows. Sammy makes eating at the Tuscan a wonderful welcoming experience every time. Thank you Sammy and see you next week! Nancy & Eddie“

“10/10. Beautiful location with an amazing menu. My 5 year old rates the clam chowder “1000 and some numbers out of ten”. Definitely recommend!“

“Very limited lunch menu but the chicken pesto pita pocket was delish. Ordinary shoestring fries followed a tasty appetizer of fried cauliflower. No regular ranch dressing for dipping available. Nothing intriguing enough for a repeat visit.“

“Just happened to stop here yesterday for a late lunch! So glad we did! My husband has had their pizza before I hadn't. The pizza was soo delicious! I ordered a Pineapple, Bacon & Hot Honey small pizza. It was one of the BEST pizza's I've ever eaten! I didn't take my receipt so I can't remember our waiters name & I wish I could because he deserves a shout out! He was amazing!! Would definitely recommend! & will definitely be back!“

“The food was excellent! The young man who made our tableside guacamole and our waiter were two of the best serves I have ever encountered! This place is TopShelf!“

“Look at the gingerbread lasagna and it’s 10 out of 10!!!!“

“Loved working with Q Street Diner! Very kind and professional while sharing her space during our service today. It’s not easy having to shut down the kitchen in a professional setting for cleaning, and we were met with kindness and coffee ☕️😁“

“If you like sushi but are on the go, you owe it to yourself to try Poké from Big Fin Poké. It fills the craving and is a healthy fast food option to boot! :) Customer service is always friendly and prompt, and the food is always fresh.“

“Every time I go to a new city I try to find a nice place to have a cigar and relax. This place is JUST the spot for that. You can have coffee or liquors depending on what you want with your cigar, and the people are lovely. Wonderful atmosphere and the perfect way to kick off a vacation.“

“This restaurant is my favorite when visiting the Maine Mall. It’s located in the Food Court. The service is fast and the food is very fresh. The owners are very kind and considerate. When my pregnant daughter was in the line with her big belly (8 years ago) the owner pulled her to the front of the line and treated her to a meal. Great place!“

“Delicious food! Fantastic and hearty pizza, and delicious cold salads! So happy I stumbled across this gem.“

“We ate here after finding out one of our favorite places for Chinese food closed and we were pleasantly surprised to find this one not to far from where we use to go. It’s a small place that seems to do big business. It’s one of those places that you might just drive by and not notice but you would be missing out if you do. When we go to Portland and are in the mood for Chinese food this is where we will be going. Great food and super friendly folks. Definitely give them a chance I don’t believe you will regret it 😁.“

“I stopped in on a whim and boy I’m glad i did! We created by a very friendly host and then sat at a table and immediately greeted by our server whom was beyond amazing! His name is Erik (Eric) in sure of spelling! But he was friendly and warm and made us feel completely welcome the entire time! Ask for him if you want great service! It’s hard to find these days . Thank you for a great day out that doesn’t happens often . You Erik made it great THANK YOU!“

“We stopped into DeAngelo’s in South Portland and were met with fast, efficient service and big smiles all around. The team was on point, and everything was fresh, quick, and exactly what we needed. It’s always a win when great service meets great food—thank you, DeAngelo’s! From all of us at S.B. Taylor Transport, we appreciate you!“

“We were pleasantly surprised at how great the pizza was here. Had just got in from driving up to portland and didn’t really want to go out somewhere for dinner, so we stopped here. The pizza was fantastic. We got two smalls, the squash ricotta and cranberry, and a mashed potato bacon and scallion.

On paper, these do not sound like they would work on a pizza, but wow. Crust was still crunchy, and the flavors really worked together.

I didn’t realize they were a chain, and was thoroughly impressed.“

“I was in South Portland for work and dropped in for a quick dinner. It was great to find delicious authentic Mexican food!! The service was fast and friendly. The place was very nice and comfortable. The salsa bar is amazing!! Highly recommend it!!“

“Good food! If we lived closer, we'd be regulars. We started with the Burnt End nachos. I had the quesadilla with brisket and my partner had the pulled pork sandwich. All of the food was great.

FYI to the boss: we came in after the lunch rush. There were two people working the front, Lila and Ryan. Lila took excellent care of us and also bussed and wiped down 6 tables, refilled sauce containers, and did some work in the back. The entire time we were there, Ryan made 3 drinks and moved some glasses around at the bar, but most of the time stood visiting with his arms crossed. Y'all need to give Lila a raise or a bonus or something. She was awesome. We noticed the dynamic and asked her about it; she didn't mention it.“

“Best pizza we have EVER had. Fries great too“

“Love their variety of drink & food choices! I have dined here multiple times and have always had a great meal! Also love the atmosphere! You quickly forget that you are eating in a hotel restaurant!“

“Was ok. The potato bun was yummy! Presentation really cute! But the veggie burger had no flavor..had with the elevation sauce, grilled onions, lettuce and tomato for extra flavor, I guess I had too much hope. But indeed hit the spot!! ☺️“

“My boyfriend got the fried rice with beef, and I got the one with chicken - both were amazing! The cheesecake is out of this world - the best I’ve tried in Portland! The staff was also very nice and attentive. Genuinely liked this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Upon entry we were greeted by a man who opened the door for us, which is pretty unheard of in this day and age. We waited around a minute for the table, but the food came pretty quickly and it was delicious. I had the chicken parmesan over fettucine alfredo and would rate it an 8.5/10. The service was great and the overall vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant was good too. Easy to find parking and fairly priced food.“

“Happy to say tonight was a great night to go out to dinner. Upon arrival, the bartender was acting as host, server and over all cheer squad for the restaurant. We were greeted promptly as she was busy assisting a person picking up an order and seating another couple. We sat in the bar at a hightop. She followed us over with menus and asked us about drinks. Throughout our visit she was a checking in with a bubbly personality and vibrancy that was refreshing. Our food came out as ordered, which can be tricky with my dietary changes, and it was hot and delicious! She was Johnny on the spot with refills and smiling every time she came by. I couldn't remember her name but the receipt said Blake. If that's correct I give you props! Thanks for making a rainy night enjoyable 😉“
