50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Rochester

“I love the Friday fish fry because it is so much value for the money and tastes great. The baked goods are incredible too. Been going there for years and in all that time only once I didn't care for an item, the fries, but the staff made new ones and they earned my respect.“

“I have eaten here since I was a child and I'm 60 years old. I also worked there for 8 years when I was much younger and I can testify that they use real ingredients. That's why this is still my go to pizza place. They shred their cheese off the block, so it's fresh and delicious. They also make their sauce from scratch with a secret family recipe handed down for generations. The lunch server woman is incredible as well.“

“Great local cafe to grab some food with your friends or family. When inside you feel like you are in a small town restaurant and the waitresses know most of the usual customers who are in there. The food is very good and prices are great. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.“

“This is the only restaurant that I have worked at that I will ALWAYS come back to. For the atmosphere, live music, the incredible staff (no, not favoring because I worked here, totally different staff), the food is consistent and the drinks- chefs kiss (Ryan is FANTASTIC)! Something about coming here is like coming home, it's very cozy and intimate! A best kept secret of Rochester for sure! I must add that the staff are seemingly genuine and you can tell they enjoy their jobs- not like other restaurants where you get a fake nice.“

SOOOO Delicious! pasta was perfectly al dente; the sauce is made from fresh tomatoes which is the same way I make my own so it reminded me & mom of my own calzones & sauce! lol The cheese is so fresh.....and the bread 😘 The patio area is so beautiful and cozy next time we are in this neck of the woods definitely going to sit outside🥰“

“What a great place to foster a solid music scene in Rochester MN! Steve, Rosei, and the rest of the gang really do what they must to curate great music at this taco joint. This Saturday night was my 5th time performing there, and every time was a blast! Not only do they cater to local musicians, but they are a gem for touring acts like myself as well. If you want to meet other music nerds like myself, and do much more, I would highly recommend coming out to Taco Jed and immersing yourself in this incredible music scene!“

“SO happy to see another craft brewery in Rochester! Great location, awesome atmosphere with the combined inside and outside seating! Not to mention the live music and food truck rotations they will be featuring!!! I love that Thesis is doing collabs with their beer and local business! Of the 6 beers on tap I had the cucumber sour which was my favorite! So light and refreshing!!! The golden ale that was crisp and a little on the bitter side, and the Tuba nanas hefeweizen which is very smooth and quite literally has aromatics that smell like banana laffy taffy! I look forward to what Thesis brew team come up with in the future! If you havent checked them out yet it's a must!!!P.S. lots of parking in the back!!!“

“I have lived in Rochester for most of my life. Pizza has always been something that I have eaten many different kinds from many different restaurants. Zadeos by far is the best pizza that I have had. I highly recommended. I very seldom leave reviews“

“Absolutely the best breakfast bagels ever! Always good! There bacon has cracked pepper on it and it's so good! I get it crispy and they actually make it crispy! It's not like subway fake bacon either it's a good thickness and the layer it on! I get the cinnamon pickle with cheddar cheese crispy bacon and an egg white. So so so yummy and filling!! I've of the best parts is when I think his name is Andy, is working. He makes it fun! He's a good burst of fresh energy in the morning!! Just love it here!!!“

“My daughter will only eat cheese pizza and she will only eat it from here if we order out, she also loves their breadsticks. The rest of us will try new pizzas here and there and they have always been delicious. The pizza always has plenty of toppings and is always hot and fresh when it’s delivered. The staff and delivery team is also awesome. I had one incident where I forgot to tip online. I realize this after I submitted the order and called the store right away to correct this. They are very helpful and told me I could either tell them them the tip over the phone or put it on the receipt when I signed for the delivery and not to worry about it. I did tell them the tip over the phone and apologized for my mistake again. The guy that I was talking to told me that it was ok and I was not at any fault and that he wished me a good night. I love this place they are always awesome and the food is amazing delicious“

“Excellent service and great food.“

“Thank you Linda for adding the Pi Salad to the Tilda's Menu like we had requested. It is one of our 3 favorite salads in Rochester and we happily ordered it tonight with our pizza. We just love your two pizza joints! We got to see Bella in action too. She is very sweet. Your pizzas are amazing!“

“Delicious, huge portions & great service.“

“Our plans for a late dinner and beers fell apart. One of our group called and asked if Newt's (South) could accommodate a group of our size that late on a Tuesday. We arrived to a waiting table with waters & popcorn. Our server, Layne, was quick taking our drink and food orders. The food was amazing, hot, and fast. Thank you for saving our "afters" tonight. We will be back!“

“Went on Friday with a couple 9-year-olds. They were busy and the pizza took awhile to come out. The server offered us free dessert as a “sorry.” Wasn’t necessary (we were fine waiting) but an astute move. The girls took home a piece of Oreo cheesecake which was amazing!“

“Soooooo good! My first poke bowl ever and it was so worth it“

“Just tried for the first time tonight. Tacos and tamales were so delicious! Best in town!“

“Pleasant surprise ! First time trying your restaurant, hate that I haven’t been coming here before, excellent fresh food, best Chinese I have tried in town. The dinner specials for 11.95 include fried rice and egg roll, large portions of really great food! Will have two meals from this! Great bargain, great taste, we will definitely be back soon, not only that we are telling all our friends and family about this hidden gem. Thank you!“

“We go every weekend, you can’t go wrong with a burger and fries, or a pancake, two if you’re feeling adventurous. The French toast, American fries and coffee are all staples of our visits. All this brought to you by the coolest staff around, always helpful, couldn’t ask for better anywhere in town or anywhere else, that’s why we go back every Sunday.“

“We love Kingdom Buffet and go there regularly. There are so many reasons -- delicious mushrooms, green beans, chicken on a stick, sweet and very fresh fruits. There Mongolian grill is also a wonderful option. We highly recommend.“

“There was four of us dining last evening. Jimmy was our server and was very attentive, giving us exceptional service. One couple in our party is Indian and we're very impressed with the food. A lovely place inside with Indian touches throughout. We hope to try the buffet one day soon. Wishing them much success.

Vegetarian options: Mixed vegetable korma was so tasty and well spiced.“

“We had such a great time for my son's birthday. The staff were amazing.“

“Food was wonderful and everone was so friendly!Shout out to all the wait staff who talked to me more than my date did! 😊“

“I ordered a few items and two fountain drinks to go. Way more than I could carry out to my vehicle myself. I waited a little longer than usual for the food to be done, so for the longer wait I was given an extra item and apologized to - very kind! On top of that, the men realized I wouldn’t be able to carry all of my stuff so they offered to help. I didn’t catch the guy’s name that helped me carry my items to my vehicle, but I am very grateful! It was so unbelievably generous! Excellent pizza and beyond excellent service! Well done and THANK YOU!!!“

“Stopped to pick up carry out over lunch. I ordered online- it was easy and fast. Our order was accurate and food was hot. Egg rolls were smaller than regular egg rolls.The store does have some limited seating. Restrooms in back- one out of order.The lady who took my payment and prepared our order was NOT friendly. She was yelling at me, with frown on her face when I asked her to repeat what she was asking. I’m not hard of hearing, I just didn’t understand her question. She was asking how many sweet and sour sauce I wanted. Her yelling and speaking louder didn’t solve the language barrier between us. It only made me want to leave. I stopped to get three separate orders to deliver to three friends who I thought needed a day brightener. I wasn’t sure I even wanted the food after dealing with this nagar I’ve women. Maybe she was just having a bad day. I would give 1 start for friendliness .

Parking: Large open parking lot in strip mall near Target.“

“Food is amazing with great presentation! Will definitely return here.“

“We had your typical Applebee's experience. Terrific waitress (Kale) treated us like her only table. She was so on top of our beverages and getting the food out FAST! Manager Raymond stopped by the table to make sure we were enjoying the super sandwich special. It was everything that's familiar about Applebee's and their team!

Parking: Mall parking. May be busier on weekends and evenings.“
