33 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Camp Lejeune

“My husband (retired Marine) was preparing a pizza party for his construction crew on base with about 52 people. I reached out to this location and was blessed to be able to work with Ms. Kim throughout the process of ordering 14 pizzas. Ms. Kim was very cordial, helpful, and has an excellent skillset regarding troubleshooting. I wanted to order online because of my rewards and to receive points for this order but the ordering process was a bit wonky.
I reached out to Ms.Kim and she assured me that If I couldn't order online, they would be able to take my order on the phone and have it ready to be picked up at 11:15 AM.
Thanks to Ms. Kim, the luncheon went perfectly and everyone shouted out their appreciation for the delicious pizzas.
I also asked if someone could bold write the name of the pizza on the lid of each box and that absolutely happened!
Thank you Ms. Kim and the Camp Lejeune Dominos!!“

“LOS CASITA LOCA“the little crazy house”Dining fare at Camp Lejeune, the home of expeditionary warfare” is not limited. However, it is mostly the home of various popular fast-food franchises and the “chow” halls. There was a time when having breakfast at the Camp Lejeune Chow Hall was an experience to secretly anticipate. However, those halcyon days are now in the dust bins of history. Since the Pandemic, plastic utensils, Styrofoam plates, and a staff that looks at the prepared food with a mix of disdain and sorrow has curbed my joy.The breakfast burrito at the Chow Hall used to be a delight, an intoxicating mixture of hashbrown, chorizo, egg, cheese, black beans and love. Now it is all lies and prepacked blandness. I inquired about how long the tater tots had been sitting out. The worker replied, “Ten minutes”. They could not even look me in the eye. LIE! LIES! And more LIES! I took my homely lukewarm burrito to my table sobbing and in silence I ate. Drinking my black coffee from a Styrofoam cup. No more I cried to the gods in heaven NO MORE!!!LOS CASITA LOCA, a pale yellow drive through with outdoor seating……It sits in the middle of a largely abandoned parking lot. It’s asphalt riven with cracks and fissures, which speaks to the decay and inertia that has gripped this entire strip mall. The phallic box rises to great each day with pangs of weariness that are felt upon your approach. What good can come of this? you scream at an uncaring universe. The building looks like it is close to spontaneous combustion or simply suicidal collapse in the grueling heat of a coastal summer.Los Casitas Locas is open from 0800 to 1400, Monday through Friday and during those times. The drive through is akin to when the buzzards circle a dying carcass on a lonely backwoods’ road. The madness of this is nonstop. The workers inside are bone tired. Like Sisyphus of old they push their burritos up the hill only when finally reaching the peak they slide back down burrito hill. DOOMED FOR ALL ETERNITY TO MAKE AND REMAKE TASTY Highlander & California Burritos for a vast hungry horde of unknown persons. I always do the walk-up. I place my order. Looking at the poor woman she stares back with hollow vacant eye holes. A world weariness is upon here that no amount of rest can replenish. I place my order and tip 20%.I sit and patiently wait……..and wait. I wait a little longer. Other people are waiting as well. Everyone is patient, but there is always one who is not. They pace and sigh aloud. It’s amusing me. Their entreaties to the staff fall upon deaf and incredulous ears. Can you not see that it is just the two of us? Can you not see with your good eyes the circle of unending traffic that speaks to our popularity and tastiness of our burrito fare? Sit down and wait you poor fool.I usually order either the Highlander or the California Burrito with Steak. The Highlander is stuffed with egg, bacon, sausage, cheese, sour cream, and cheese. The California Burrito has steak and cheese and lots of other good things that I can’t quite remember this morning. But rest assured you will not be disappointed. Los Casita Loca is a real gem in this world of cookie cutter nonsense, it manages to rise above and deliver excellent food for the money. I highly recommend.“

“nicest people. always go above and beyond for every customer“

“We love Ricks… we’ve never had a bad time here. The drinks are good, the food is great…. The service is even better. I’ve probably eaten at Ricks every week since I’ve lived in Sneads Ferry. My most recent favorite is the Mac Burger with a side caesar salad and a sweet tea… definitely come here with your family, it’s worth your while.“

“The best!! highly recommend maple bacon or grandma's breakfast 😋 🤤“

“Love the staff & food ❤️ Owner is always so friendly as well“

“I work at the Hertz thats behind them. I can always count on them remembering what i got last time, down to the condiments even! Steve is a very kind man, and his workers clearly enjoy the job. The food is always on point, especially their Ruben Sandwiches. I try hard not to eat lunch here everyday, but its hard not to when theyre so good!“

“Typically my go to spot for all my breakfast needs. Anytime I have family in town this is where I will go to support a local business & allow my family to have a good meal. The Kettle Diner is a NY style diner with southern flair that's well-established eatery in Jacksonville, NC, has garnered a reputation for its home-cooked meals & diverse menu offerings. This is the first time I have gotten a burger from here after being in this area for 20 years. The burger of choice was the Master Burger. This is a Half-pound of fresh ground beef cooked to order; Served with cheddar cheese, lettuce & tomato on a toasted brioche bun. The flavor profile of the burger is robust and satisfying & embodies everything that a local spot should be. The beef patty is seasoned well and grilled to perfection, resulting in a savory taste that pairs beautifully with the fresh toppings. When combined with the right condiments ( I chose just mustard), each bite delivers a delightful burst of flavor that keeps your taste buds wanting more. Accompanying the burger are the onion rings, which are nothing short of spectacular. They are generously battered & fried to golden perfection. Each ring offers a satisfying crunch on the outside while maintaining a soft & flavorful onion center. The seasoning on the batter adds an extra layer of taste that complements the burger wonderfully. The potato salad served on the side is another highlight of this meal. Creamy yet light, it features tender potatoes mixed with just the right amount of mayonnaise, mustard, and spices. Dining at The Kettle Diner is about more than just food; it’s about community & comfort. The staff is friendly and attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that your dining experience is pleasant from start to finish. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can expect prompt service that enhances your overall enjoyment. Rating: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 | Price: under $20“

“Easily the best restaurant in town. 10/10“

“Great Food and Wonderful Service! Thank you.“

“We took a group of 20 in for dinner last night. Everyone was kind & accommodating to our big group. The owner (I think) called and confirmed my reservation and was helpful and kind. The server was attentive and quick. Our food came out quickly, even for the amount of people we had. I had never tried Thai food & thoroughly enjoyed it. The fried rice was some of the best I’ve had. We will definitely be back to try more things!“

“Good ole country southern style food“

“We love coming to clean eatz!! My toddler and I enjoy the wraps, sweet potato fries, and smoothies. Great customer service!! Delicious fruit flavored waters. I love how we are nourished by good company and great food.“

“The wife and I stumbled across this place after a visit to Lowe's, and boy are we glad we did! We were pleasantly surprised at the portion size (we thought we were being conservative ordering a medium) and even more surprised by the taste. The pho was bursting with freshness and the flavor was amazing! I've tried the bahn mi sandwiches many times, and they never disappoint with their fresh, crisp veggies, flavorful meats and tasty bread. Wholeheartedly recommend this place! It's one of our go-to restaurants, even when we want take-out.“

“I love going on the weekends because of the service I get from Jen. She knows the menu and always makes you feel at home. Great Service!!!“

“This place was a major disappointment. Their margaritas were overpriced fruit juice. 16 bucks! I only drank a bit of it because I wanted them to know I wasn't pulling a fast one. When I spoke to the manager about it she claimed the drinks were made to restaurant specifications and acted snotty. It tasted like they might have waived the bottle of tequila over the glass. The food was mediocre. Shrimp that was probably boxed frozen. Flavorless rice. Literally. The rice was white. No seasoning there and not much in any of the other food. Room temp beans. Etc. She did comp my drink and the server Nicholas was a peach. Other than that I cannot recommend this restaurant.“

“Had the pollo burrito. It had a ton of flavor and didn't require any extra seasoning even though they have a great selection of just in case. The horchata was okay, and the only reason I don't give full stars. The food was excellent and approved by my well-traveled Latino compadre.“

“Food has always been good but last week when we went it was not the usual quality . Hoping just a quirk that day“

“The most wonderful spot in SneadsFerry. Good food, friends and fun. Locals love it! Tourist never forget it.“

“I've been going here for years and the manager has been the same since I was a little girl. They're truly is no better pizza in jacksonville. I'm always happy to come back home to visit and have a slice of my favorite childhood flavors unchanged <3“

“Love this place, I have stopped here a couple of times for dinner today I stopped there for lunch. They are always very friendly here, the food is always amazing, and their prices can't be beat. My go to is the shrimp and pork spring rolls and Pho Tai. Will definitely come here again and recommend for anyone looking for very good food.“

“Every dennys we went to has been awful except this one in sneads ferry nc. The food has been delicious. Breakfast lunch and dinner. The wait staff very friendly and makes sure everything is good for us. We are from pa. and thought we'd try it. Glad we did.Aas you can see we've been there 3 times so far and even called in an order.“

“This take our chinese restauraunt is squeezed in between some other choices is worth the stop IMO. I enjoyed the egg roll, spring roll, spare ribs, and general tso chicken with fried rice. The google app ordering feature to get lo mein didnt work. Everything is a deal. I plan to try more on the menu! Theyre closed mondays per a sign on the door.“

“Gabby is AMAZING! We eat here frequently and Gabby has our drinks at the table 1 minute after we sit down. She’s on her game with us and all customers! We highly recommend Mi Cabana and ask for Gabby!“

“If you stopped coming during the times of a hot and muggy dining experience, give it another go! It has improved so much.

TLDR: Food quality has improved drastically and temperature and the environment is nice compared to the last few years. Give it another shot if you stopped coming around 1-2 years ago. It has changed!

I have been going here with my family for years. It was good up until COVID and then they had a bit of a rough patch where it was hot, the food quality was passable and it was not a pleasant experience. We stopped coming around a year or two ago and have only now decided they were with another try and can I say, there has been much improvement.

The temperature is. Nice in the building now and not hot. The servers are attentive and polite. The food quality has gone up substantially, the food tastes fresh and no longer feels like it has been sitting out all day. Can I just mention their slices of cake? They. Are. Delicious... Before they were not that good and dry, and I honestly would come just for the cake slices now.

I know I talked about the heat, but a few years ago, it smelt like sewage and was muggy. The floors were damp and it felt like your shoes stuck Everytime you stepped. It seems they have foxes their drain issues as the floors are nice and it no longer stinks! They also have an incense mister at the front, which is a nice touch.

Sadly, there is no longer bread and the sodas now come in a can, but to be honest, I am fine with that change as everything else has improved so drastically.

If you stopped coming during their rough times in the past few years, give them another shot and be amazed!“

“Gabby is AMAZING! We eat here frequently and Gabby has our drinks at the table 1 minute after we sit down. She’s on her game with us and all customers! We highly recommend Mi Cabana and ask for Gabby!“

“The buffet is EXCELLENT! Food was hot, flavored well, and staff was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend these vittles!“
