50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Meridian

“We visit this Olive Garden regularly and always have a great experience, but something happened today that we have to share. We came to Olive Garden this evening for a To-Go order, and ended up having card issues where our card wouldn’t go through. After fighting on the phone for almost a half hour, staff came out and comped our order, telling us that it was “on them today”. We were so grateful, albeit embarrassed, but I’m pregnant (they didn’t know this) and we were so appreciative that we could still enjoy our dinner. Our staff person, Matthew, was so kind and understanding and made us feel like we weren’t the worst people in the world for the mishap. We will definitely stay loyal to this local OG.“

“Some of the best tacos ever had!
Had the Harrisa cauliflower tacos and I would drive the over hour drive to get them anytime I am able to talk someone into joining me.
We also ordered their kale pesto pasta which was also quite good but needed a touch of salt in our opinion. They sell a prebiotic soda that was a lemon lime flavor and that I would get again as well. Not too sweet or sour, but refreshing.“

“I'm not from MI, but I'm staying for a week and was looking for vegan places to eat. I stumbled upon Veg-N and gave it a try. There is no dine-in so do keep that in mind. I just placed our order on their website, and within 15m it was ready! Pulled up to the drive-thru and was met with lovely customer service. We were offered on the house cookies and oh my they were amazing. Got home and unpacked the food to find little peppermints and handwipes in the bag!! I finished my Reuben in 5 minutes it was so good, the patty was soft and juicy and the kraut was perfect. The chili fries were great too - maybe a little sweet for me, but my friend said they were just right for her. Only thing I could ask for would be glaze on the cinnamon roll but I didn't expect any. Just wishful thinking. Overall, great place. The people seem lovely, the food came out fast, and it tasted amazing. I'm only here for a few more days but I will definitely be back, it was just that good. If you like burgers, fries, cookies, or cinnamon rolls you need to check this place out - vegan or not you will love it.“

“Went there this evening to get some takeout--a salad and two entrees. The person who waited on us was very helpful, guiding us through the online ordering process. And the food was sensational! A great salad, and my dinner a poke bowl with raw tuna, was so delicious I had to force myself to stop eating it even though I was full. My wife's dinner was also really tasty, and now we both have leftover that we're looking forward to. I can't believe we'd never been there before--the place is less than five minutes from our house. But we will be back soon, that's for sure!“

“My husband and I have been coming to Soup Spoon for 13 years. We love supporting a local business and seeing them thrive - they locally source ingredients, their cooks care about keeping things fresh and creative, and the service we’ve received has always been great. We feel like we are seeing a friend when we are recognized and welcomed in by Keith- truly, just a very generous and knowledgeable person. We love the food and the people here so much, we usually come in for every significant milestone we want to celebrate together.“

“one of the best barbeque/ smokehouse in Lansing“

“I’ve been a resident in the nursing home on the corner and my window faces Groovy Donuts. Lo and behold I had a visitor this morning who stopped and got us a half dozen. All of the donuts were so fresh and moist. Hopefully I will be able to come back when I leave here. Great job!!!!!“

“lobster roll. thumps up 👍👍“

“Best pork katsu I have had in a LONG time! Definitely my new favorite go to place in Lansing‼️ Will definitely be back! 🤙 Thank You‼️“

“You cannot go wrong! Fair prices for what you get, I ordered a sushi roll and it was a decent size from what you’d get anywhere else and fills you up! Tastes great and if I lived closer definitely be going there often to try more of their menu“

“Dude, this place was amazing! The food and service were incredible. The crab Rangoon was delicious—way better than your average Chinese restaurant stuff; they were tiny and cute. I hope they're handmade, because if so, they're amazing. And the pad see ew was so good! I have a high spice tolerance, so I'd go low-medium to medium heat if you try it, but the flavor was great. I had to stop because I was stuffed.“

“Excellant food and service.“

“Mouthwatering and authentic food for meat lovers and vegetarians. I love the zatar pie and their hummus and their tabbouli among many others items on their menu! The grocery section has a wide variety of authentic food and spices ! The customer service is excellent and I love being able to sit and dine inside ! 10/10“

“Our high school golf team was in town for a tournament and I ordered pizza from Blaze. The door dash driver went to the wrong address/only picked up half our order. I called and talked to Anthony at Blaze. He was super friendly and professional. He remade our order free of charge and gave us some cookies for the inconvenience. It was not his fault whatsoever. I was very impressed with his customer service. He didn't owe us anything. It is rare to get solid customer service anywhere. I would order from them again.“

“Love stopping by Kenny’s market while downtown. Their breakfast sandwich is the best. Would highly recommend!“

“P.F Chang's is always a good option for a family or individual meal. It's not quite real Asian food but it's still good. It's a good meal and the staff are nice. The selection is always good and for Americanized Asian food it is a nice alternative from burgers and fries.“

“The People’s Kitchen is my favorite restaurant in Lansing. The chef is phenomenal! There is a variety of delicious entrees for everyone.“

“Visited twice in one day- hit both happy hours! Came back for the second because the service by Shane was spectacular! We also enjoyed the handsome manager man who looked like Paul Rudd- he even played Chinese finger trap with us on the way out- a prize we won at Pinball Pete’s…
Hope you enjoy the griffin claw googly eye we left behind ;)“

“Amazing I highly recommend as long as there open I'll be there“

“Do you still give out a free drink on your birthday? I was looking at my app and didn't see anything. So, I thought I would inquire.“

“Every time I see the 517 Picnic Food Truck at the Allen Street Farmers Market, I can't help but crave a smash burger. The burgers are made with quality ingredients which you can really taste, making it worth the price. The smoked gouda grilled cheese is another good sandwich. The garlic herb fries and fried brussels sprouts are great sides to have with your meal. There are vegan options but I have not tried them myself. The food truck accepts cash or card though there is a small fee for using card.

Vegetarian options: There are menu items labeled Vegan.

Parking: During the non-winter seasons when the Allen Street Farmers Market, the parking lot is closed and you must find street parking.“

“Do not miss this gem!! Visit soon. You will not regret it. So much food. Amazing full taste. I had the lamb. My colleague had the goat. We were both so impressed. The naan bread was perfect. Don't skip the bread. The setting/environment was overly simple but doesn't detract.“

“A classy family oriented restaurant. The sushi is fresh and the fish is plentiful in the rolls. Simply amazing food and great bartenders, hostesses and waiters I come here roughly 2-3x a week.“

“My absolute favorite bar. The staff is SO incredibly kind, drinks not too expensive and made superbly, not to mention they are really on top of keeping people safe. Love it when they have live music or karaoke! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Wow. Happened by this place while looking to feed some cold, wet, hangry kids after Pride. The atmosphere was cute, the service was wonderful and the pizza was AMAZING. We absolutely loved it and we can’t wait to go back!“

“What an amazing meal. Everything we ordered was great.“

“Food and staff is always on point!“

“Genuinely some of the best food i’ve ever had in my life, I cannot recommend them enough. Favorite places for enchiladas in Lansing. The birria tacos are to die for!“

“EDIT: My review won't change, as I am only commenting on my experience at this location/on this day/at this time, however, I would like to make note of the labor disputes. Owners need to pay their workers a fair wage, treat them like the human beings they are instead of tools for profit. After the settlement, I hope the future is bright for the employees at every location and that they receive the respect they deserve. Consider stopping by for lunch, and tip your server well; a fat tip is always a way to support the people, not the company.

ORIGINAL: My friend and I came in at 4pm. Sammy was incredibly kind and quick to greet us. We were seated right away. The train car is a severely overlooked highlight. I've seen some complaints that it is too tiny, to which I say: you have never been in a train. Tables are close together but I would not describe it as close enough to share food with the other patrons--some of you are bitter and overdramatic.

The service was incredible. Sammy was attentive, quick to take our drink order, quick to get our app order in, and let us rest to decide. She has a natural sense of when to approach the table, providing friendly service without overwhelming patrons. She was incredible, and really sweet!

The food was insane, in the best way. The everything pretzel bites came out fresh and hot, and we savored every bite. The provided dips complimented the savory flavor of the pretzels very well. I ordered the mac and cheese large plate, which was reasonably priced for the amount I got. It was rich and creamy, but not overbearing--which I greatly appreciate in a mac and cheese. My friend got the grilled cheese (apple, gouda, honey sriracha, and bacon on sourdough), he described it as a well balanced flavor explosion. Although he enjoys grilled chicken sandwiches with mayo and cheese (?), based on his description: "it's tart and sweet with the apple, smoky with the bacon, rich from the cheese, but rounded out by the tangy sourdough," I feel I can trust him this once.

If you're skeptical because of bad reviews, ignore that mess and give this place a try. Order what sounds new and fun and you won't regret it. (We didn't get drinks this time around but I recommend Blake's Cider Mill Donut Cider!)

Reasonably priced and gay; 5 stars.“

“Attended a baby shower here. The food is amazing and the service was top notch!“

“Stopped in today for a late lunch and our waitress Graciela so unbelievably kind and accommodating. The food was amazing as always! One of our favorite restaurants!“
