50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Rochester

“Best restaurant in rochester minnesota!“

“FLAVOR. Service was quick, polite, and the food was hot. I was shook at how good this food is. I’m from out of town and will forever think about this place. The Avgelemono soup…. Holy smokes“

“The banana pannekoeken was amazing. The buttered rum sauce with it, I wish I could bottle it up. They have so many options and a communal feel to the table. The place it's energic and clean. I do wish they had speciality coffee drinks like cappuccinos and lattes though.“

“Why would anyone order pizza from one of the chains? Mr. Pizza South has amazing pizza and amazing staff who loves pizza! Have you tried the Pizza Fries? Unbelievable. The prices are great, the cheese is abundant. Seriously, why would you order from a chain.“

“Friendly staff. Great portions at reasonable prices. FOOD was GREAT.“

“Amazing options of food and drinks“

“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.“

“Delicious dinner. Large selection of entrees. Excellent flavors. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return to try more dishes!“

“The food was outstanding. The sauces on the two dishes we tried were phenomenal. They were even able to replace the butter in the sauce with virgin olive oil for the Veal Portabella dish. We liked it so much we bought a quart to bring back home with us to Chicago. We used it on Salmon I caught in Alaska. It was amazing how the sauce complimented the salmon. The staff was super friendly and knowledgable about about the menu and were able to make excellent recommendations on choosing what to try. It was our first time there. We will definitely be going back when we are back in Rochester.“

“Pasquale’s pizza is one of the best pizzas in Rochester and their calzones were tasty. As a foodie that travels all over the place to try new restaurants, this place had great quality food and even better an amazing staff! Rochester is blessed to have Pasquale’s!“

“We were down visiting Mayo and stopped in for breakfast. Theresa and the crew are always so friendly. They are able to brighten our day even when it’s been a long day. We always make sure to stop and get the kids and us sandwiches. We can not say enough good things about this staff at this specific Bruegger’s. Theresa and staff are always quick and friendly and make you feel extra special. Keep up the great work because we appreciate the joy you bring.“

“1st time in and had a great experience!!! Sky took amazing care of us at the bar, giving tons of great recommendations of what not to miss out on!!! Fun atmosphere, great food and amazing service we would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!“

“Amazing service with tasty food! Everyone is so nice and welcoming and they have a large menu of all great food! I genuinely recommend eating here!“

“Delicious, huge portions & great service.“

“This brewery was a little hard to get to especially with the road construction out front. The bartender was very friendly and offered sample pours of beers he thought we should try. We are typically IPA, porter and stout fans and were actually a little disappointed with these beers. However, Thesis Pieces, which was a Peanut Butter Blonde and Citrus Mistress, a pastry sour, were surprising hits.“

“Great tasting pizza! They are a family owned business in Rochester. Zadeos has two types of crusts: a hand-tossed original New York style crust and thin crust. They have a variety of specialty pizzas such as a Premiere, Meat Supreme, and Taco pizza. You definitely exact portions/toppings for what you pay for. They also have a lunch buffet from 11:00am to 1:30pm Tuesday through Saturday, which includes single topping pizza, meatballs, garlic bread, and a salad bar.“

“If anyone sleeps on this pizza they are crazy. I ordered 7 jumbo pizzas for a birthday party today (a Sunday) and they had them ready to go right at noon. Not only was the staff super nice and great to work with; but the pizza absolutely slapped.

11/10 on the pizza and 11/10 on the service I received! Will certainly be making another trip back with the family! Thank you for helping with the birthday party for my family!“

“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!“

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

“Been coming here for many years probably a hundred times now, no issues ever, ordering over the phone is super quick easy and they are very fast to prepare the food and it’s always good and large portions for a fair price, Been to just about every chinese/Thai restaurant in the city by now and this one stands out for how quick and consistent they are, i do miss the buffet the used to have that was an amazing deal i wish to see it come back but either way 10/10 highly recommend!“

“Tacos, chips, and salsa were amazing! Takeout was convenient and packaged carefully to make sure nothing spills.“

“Ordered once, never again“

“My "Go To Spot" for the biggest selection of Mexican entrees when in Rochester. Always fully staffed and everyone is so friendly and welcome you when you arrive.“

“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!!!“

“It was my son's first time there. He ordered the hangover burger and I got the blue moon burger and she talked me into a piece of cheesecake. The burgers were top notch like always and I found new favorite place for cheesecake!! The service from the hostess to the waitress/owner were great, they are always checking in on you. I highly recommend stopping there!!“

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

“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.“

“I ordered a dinner combo and upgraded my side to the beef lo mein. Mind you the up charge is 6.50. The lo mein had no actual beef in the dish. Just beef flavored noodle. For this reason I won't order here again. My total bill for the two combo plates came to over 45.00. Kinda a rip off.“

“Wonderful restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. The manager, Donald Henley, is great. He checked on us a few times to make sure we were having a good experience and see if we needed anything. Very polite and friendly guy. Highly recommend stopping by here for lunch or dinner. Wonderful atmosphere.“

“Crave Rochester is one our faves! Amazing service, awesome drinks, and the food is out of this world ♡“

“I love this place! We go every day we're in Rochester. Yes. Every day. They are knowledgeable about gluten free menu items as well. You won't be disappointed.“

“Walked into Denny's at an hour where bad decisions usually clock in for their shift. I was mentally prepared for full Waffle House at 3am energy. You know. Flying hashbrowns. A cook squaring up. Someone yelling “scattered, smothered, covered” like it’s a battle cry.
But this Denny’s? Completely different universe.
No chaos. No chair-throwing Olympics. Just a quiet but steady hum of forks, coffee refills, and polite nods. It felt less “late-night fight club” and more “we just got out of church and collectively decided to demolish breakfast.”
Nothing upscale. No chandeliers, no marble syrup dispensers. Just booths filled with families who looked spiritually fulfilled and physically ready to consume something the size of Noah’s Ark. 🥞🍳 Two by two, they came for pancakes and sausage.
Service was steady, food hit the spot, and the only thing getting flipped was the pancakes.
Not the 3am cage match I expected… but honestly? Sometimes you just need peaceful eggs.“
