50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Rochester

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

“We had an amazing experience here! Our family was at the Mayo Clinic for treatment, and our server Tracy was so sweet and understanding! For one of the treatments, my dad couldn't eat carbs before hand, and Tracy easily offered to pick out a muffin to take home to eat after the testing instead of with the meal. For as stressful as this experience has been, Tracy was a ray of sun shine. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!“

“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.“

“Today was my first time checking out the restaurant and I must say Godfather's Pizza is by far one of the best pizza restaurants I have ever visited. I loved the flavor of my pizza, the toppings, the chicken was super juicy and soft, even after I reheated my leftovers in the air fryer. I also tried their cinnamon apple streusel dessert and my my my, that was DA BOMB!!!! This restaurant is definitely worth a visit! The employees were friendly and professional and the restaurant is clean. The prices are absolutely reasonable and the taste is worth every penny! If you haven't been here before and you are thinking about going - Do it, you won't regret it!!“

“So we just moved here and decided to check out Taco Jed. Wow! We had the small nachos (portion size is gigantic), the Walleye tacos, chicken Tacos, and the Steak Fajita. Taco Jed has the perfect amalgamation of Amazing food and flavor, patience and of course, professional staff. The atmosphere is kicking so one can enjoy great food in a great setting! Great food at more than reasonable prices!“

“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!!!“

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!!

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!“

“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!“

“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“

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.“

“Ordered once, never again“

“Nice place. Friendly staff. FAST service! Delicious food“

“Very nice buffet and tons to choose from. Best Chinese food I’ve had.“

“Food was good, prices are mostly reasonable, service is good, and old fashioned salad bar was excellent. Do not order anything well done as they tend to overcook anyway. My only concern was being seated after walk-ins with an on time reservation.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Have driven past this place multiple times, noticed neon beer signs in the windows...thought it was just another bar. Saw a sign in a local hotel saying CB3 had food and is open for lunch, so today I went inside. The interior is much nicer than I expected, the Chicken Quesadilla was the best Chicken Quesadilla I've ever had. Full bar, soft drinks, appetizers, burgers...even a Walleye Reuben on the menu. Great place, great people, great food!!“
