30 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Birmingham

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“Came here for a date night and it worked perfectly. The room has a warm glow and the cocktails were well crafted. The Bronzino was delicate and flaky. If I had to nitpick, the wings could have used a bit more heat, but the flavor was still great.“

“The food is awesome! Everything I tried was good: the tacos, sushi, hand roll, smoothie, brownie. Mike was very nice and polite and greeted us. I was visiting from out of town and I’m going to miss this place. Definitely coming back when I’m in town. 10/10 ⭐️“

“Was my first time in Churchill’s yesterday, 03/28. Had no idea what to expect, never understood the purpose of the cigar. With that being said, I cannot wait to go back. Our waiter was great, the old fashioned was amazing and that cigar…now I get it!! So relaxing, great atmosphere and with a great tour guide who was also celebrating his birthday. That’s where he wanted to go, I’m sure glad he did!!! Highly recommend!“

“Simply Good is a life saver. There are so many meal options, plus great add-ons, their house-made hummus is hands down the best I’ve ever had, not to mention the take and bake chocolate chip cookie. The beef stroganoff with noodles never misses, and the chicken piccata is truly to die for. Everything is delicious, nutritious, and so practical. It’s also my go-to gift for friends who just had babies or need a little extra love.“

“Our local place shut down. Had to bring wife to Birmingham for a surgery and wanted shawarma stopped in. Ordered beef shawarma sandwich, chicken shawarma sandwich, their falafel and Kibbee everything was amazing, fresh, tender. When we come back for follow up appointments will def be coming back to this place. Loved it.“

“Some middle aged man pushed me into a TV there. very great service.. the man was rather hot.“

“Hazels has a wonderful quarterly rotating menu, and the fresh options are off the charts. Worth the drive to Birmingham for this one. The quality is very good and they take a lot of care in their service and space. Highly recommend- there’s something for everyone!“

“Nice dining place. Great food and atmosphere.“

“Always consistently good beer, food, and service. We stop in whenever we're in town.“

“Excellent meal from start to finish. We celebrated our anniversary here and it was among the best service we have received at any restaurant.

The meal started with a nice note waiting at our table and a couple of glasses of champagne, bread service was provided - very good focaccia style with high quality side of olive oil.

We ordered two apps , the black rice arancini with crab and the yellowfin crudo. Both were outstanding and I was surprised when the arancini was served made from the black rice which is a staple on their menu. I may not have read the menu right but wasn’t expecting that. Very unique texture and great flavors for an arancini which we like to order at many different restaurants.

The crudo was extremely fresh and very light with complex flavors and not overly acidic. The fish shined thru. Next we split the pink Caesar which was a unique take on a Caesar that I believe had walnuts in lieu of traditional croutons and once again very fresh and delicious flavor for a salad. The dressing was lighter and less salty than many Caesar dressings but you could still taste some anchovy.

At this point the meal was going great and our server and the kitchen continued to time it perfectly. Our server also provided knowledgeable recommendations and reserved the last fish special for us which he had asked us when we began ordering - a touch that I appreciated as this turned out to be the highlight of the meal before dessert.

The entree was a grilled turbot - not a fish I am familiar with and our server explained it is similar to a Dover sole. Spot on. Grilled perfectly with a texture less flaky than typical sole and reminding me a bit more of a swordfish. One of the best pieces of fish I’ve had dining out.

We finished the meal by ordering the baked Alaska which was great and not a dessert I personally had eaten before. Quite the presentation. That said our server also added us a comped piece of the chocolate cake which I believe is flourless and my wife and I were both surprised to find that we enjoyed it even more than the baked Alaska as it wasn’t on our radar to order.

Samy and Matt have quite a team going at forest and the kitchen is on point. Multiple check ins from management and our server while also allowing us plenty of time to celebrate our night together. We’ve been fans of Phoenicia and Layla for many years but I would honestly say that this meal at Forest elevated it to their top restaurant in my mind. This is the level of service that you look for when celebrating but you could tell that the restaurant is consistently very busy as even every seat at the bar was full during our meal.

Last addition is that the updated interior was very nice and the vibe of the restaurant was intimate and easy to have a good conversation. Also had friendly patrons we chatted with sitting next to us.

4th or 5th time I’ve eaten there and never been disappointed but this meal was above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. Thanks“

“Best steaks in town sure gonna miss it“

“Every time we come here the food is great and so is the service! I’ve never had a bad experience. My biggest tip is make sure all your party is there before requesting a table. You get seated quicker if everyone is there. Keep up the great work!“

“Extremely tasty and diverse menu.“

“Amazing food!! Great atmosphere!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience at Greek Island Birmingham! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was amazing. The staff were also very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Great atmosphere and excellent service.

We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Greek Island Birmingham“

“We celebrated My Husband Birthday Everything Was Perfect Thank You For An Awesome Experience Our 1st Time There 🥰Definitely Will Be Back And Highly Recommended 🥰“

“Amazing food and experience. Highly recommend !“

“Its just a small sushi shop with, you guessed it, sushi! I enjoyed the meal, it was simple. Gyoza, cancun rolls, spicy California, and lemonade. Its a cute little place. I went in the afternoon to eat. Not many people there. My overall dining experience was cozy with good food. I did eat by myself and paid almost 40$“

“Great atmosphere and amazing food!! Nothing I don’t love ❤️“

“Townhouse is the place to go for a great personable and easy going experience. They pride themselves in a true guest experience that feels cozy and welcoming. A real neighborhood bar with elevated comfort food. No bells and whistles, not over the top when you just want to sit back and enjoy the moment.“

“The atmosphere is amazing; your eyes will wander around to try to see everything. The food was delicious; we had brunch. The service was poor; it took over 15 minutes for someone to bring us water and take our drink order. Our server was very slow (not the same person who took our drink order); we had to ask another server to get her for us so we could ask questions about our bill.“

“We absolutely loved the Rugby Grill. It is literally our new favorite restaurant in Birmingham. Every single part of the experience was perfection. We loved the beautiful atmosphere, awesome service and, most of all, the incredible food! The brussel sprout appetizer, halibut and rare-to-find fresh caught salmon dishes were exceptionally fresh, and prepared with the perfect flavors and temperatures. It’s only a matter of time before more people find out about this Birmingham gem now that it’s reopened. Just the perfect dinner!“

“Really cool spot. Great location and delicious, fresh salad options!“

“Brooklyn Pizza far exceeds expectations! From the Owners greeting guests, helping the staff, and just making sure everyone has an overall amazing experience really shows this place is top notch. The pizza was amazing and not to mention the ice cream selection for desert was delicious as well. If you are looking for a night out, or even a pizza to go you definitely have to try it here. Great Atmosphere! @David Portnoy you have no idea what you are missing!!“

“Always spot on!! The house bread and its sauces, amazing!! And had the risotto with shrimp, mushrooms, spinach and cheese. Prefect!! Server was great. You are on our list♥️“

“I come all the way from Lavonia just to eat here.“

“Company Holiday Party!! Food is always fantastic, and drink service for SO many people in the back room was amazing as always.“

“FIVE STAR RATING: We cannot praise Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse enough! We were seated at a cozy table and were greeted with the utmost, warm and friendly service. Our server, Sean, was amazing! He pointed out the menu’s recommendations, didn’t rush us, and personalized the order of when we’d like our choices brought out to the table. Every dish we ordered from appetizers to the complimentary Birthday dessert, was tremendous! We reserved a standard table in one of their dining rooms. However, even the bar area with high top tables would not disappoint. Don’t hesitate to make this a place to experience. They offer a great menu of salads, seafood, steaks, and be sure to ask about specials. They offer a vast wine menu and specialty drinks. We WILL be back! There is valet parking available if you’d choose that option.“

“Always accommodating and terrific for a few people or even when you have a large party or event. I have enjoyed the relationship with management and the staff for several years! It's one of my "go to" places! Thx for a great experience last night on February 25th/2022!“
