50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Gastonia

“The Webb was an exceptional performance from the host(Chris) greeting at the door all the way through every interaction of wait staff including the history of this historic theatre told by the waitress(Abigail) Exceptional food quality, taste and presentation! The uniqueness and history of the building made for an outstanding atmosphere. Appetizers, drinks, soups, main courses, coffee and desert….all top shelf. To top it off a tour of the upper levels was the icing on the cake. 100% recommendations all the way around. An absolute perfect experience!“

“Pick up order of the beef clay pot. Though it was good, it definitely is not a good to-go option and it is TOO EXPENSIVE for what you get at $70. Clay pot filling, a small container of rice and 4 wraps (which do not travel well) By the time I got home, the bread was hard and to get the gooey bread topping on the clay pot was very difficult. It did not feed 2 people, we had to make extra rice to make it go farther. I gave it a high score bc the flavors were really good.“

“I stop in weekly not just because I love the food but because Bessie and staff are amazing. I don’t always take time to do a review but just know I drive out of my way to come to this location“

“Great food!! Will definitely be coming back.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Great drinks and food with a fun relaxed atmosphere!“

“Cash only, which is kind of strange in 2026, but, this place is real deal. Big portions. Pork is the specialty. Sauces are amazing, but you don't really need them with the ribs. Ribs are GOD SENT! The pulled pork, not as tasty as the ribs, but better than most pulled pork I've had in the area. Go during off hours, line is frequent.“

“Best pizza around!!! Their Buffalo Chicken pizza is completely amazing, best one I've ever had.“

“Had the chicken quesadilla and it was GREAT! Fast service and literally the BEST sweet tea! Looking forward to the next visit! Keep up the good work!“

“Agave has recently become our most favorite Mexican restaurant of all time. The first taste of the house Salsa and we were already starting to be hooked. Then the food came and blew us away. Everything we've had there has been exceptionally good. It doesn't just end there though. The staff is the sweetest and most personable staff of any restaurant I've been to in a long time. They make you feel at home and like family, and we are already starting an amazing friendship with them! If you were ever on the fence about checking this place out, let this review be a sign that it's time to go!!! You won't be disappointed!!!“

“I have been coming here for awhile as I love my server Deb, and Juliet. However, even after coming sometimes every Friday to meet family and friends for a meal out, tonight is the last time. My last 3 visit you can hear the owner yelling at the staff very disrespectful through out the restraunt. Tonight was the worst ever cussing the staff, even in Italian some people do know such foul language. It was to the point that I did not finish my dinner, nor did those dining with me, we wanted our check and to get as far away from there. I will truly miss Deb and Juliet however I can not justify spending my hard earn money for such a terrible experience.“

“Any of their food is awesome. I never had anything bad. Especially love their BBQ and hamburgers. Fresh cut frys are delicious“

“Great food and good atmosphere..“

“Comida deliciosa 😋 nos encanta venir aquí“

“I love this restaurant, I have been coming here for over 17 years. I’m so sorry for the unfortunate circumstances that occurred as I was out of the country when this occurred. I got back Sunday 2/25. The first thing I wanted was my chinese food and I ask my daughter to see if they were open and that’s when we found out what happen. I’m totally disgusted and I hope they get the justice they deserved.“

“Great food and vibe. Service was excellent. Friendly staff and food came out quick. Amazing Q and some blues playing, what else could you ask for. Highly recommend and we’ll be coming back again and again.“

“We absolutely love Portofino’s Gastonia...We usually eat in their restaurant but I was recently in the Hospital and was wanting their Spaghetti so We opted for take out and they did not disappoint bc it was a huge portion of Spaghetti and stuffed Shells as well as a nice healthy salad..The food was so hot and fresh..Thank you“

“Every Monday I make the trip to the Eggs Up Grill, the menu has plenty of options and my biggest concern is deciding what to choose. The staff is outstanding and the coffee is kept topped off and hot. If you haven't been here, you are missing out on somewhere special - is my go to breakfast place!“

“Fresh tasting fish, amazing tasting food, I always get the building your own bowls. All of the fish is good and fresh tasting. I've never had a bad experience here, staff are friendly and willing to answer any questions. Store is always clean!“

“Delicious and the staff were working nonstop!“

“Good food, reasonable prices. They have refreshed the interior. Staff is always nice. We eat there or do carry out once or twice a month- consistently good.“

“Over all its a good place to eat except on Tue. and Weds. Service is poor on these days, We use to eat everyday but now we Skipp these two days. We came in last Wed. and not many people there . We went in and had three empty boots but they had plats and food still on the table and the help was standing around talking and on their phones. We set waiting in the window chairs for them to do something and almost left. I told my wife this is why we don't come on Tues. and Weds. I don't like to fuss but its sorry help on these two days as servers go.“

“I stopped by once and didn't know how to get back, I just knew the food would be good.
It was beyond what I hoped for. never tasted a steak so next to perfect, it made me shake the hand if the Chef. Host,Waiters, Mrs. Cleaning Lady...Best place in Gastonia all round. Had to give my first review for it. Thank You .“

“Stopped in for dinner last night, and since it’s in a little strip mall, I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting much. But as soon as I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. Gigantic art on the walls, high-back wooden chairs carved out of wood, it was a totally different vibe than I anticipated, and in a good way. It was Friday night around 8:00, and the place was packed. Despite that, we got a table almost immediately.

Now, I didn’t care for the salsa. It was a bit too oniony and runny for my taste, but honestly, that’s the only downside. The Birria tacos were phenomenal. The portion of meat was huge, and for around $19, it was an exceptional value. The guys I was with all ordered different things, and they were just as impressed as I was. The service? Absolutely stellar. No complaints there.

So yeah, other than the salsa not being the best I’ve ever had, it’s a minor issue compared to how good everything else was. I’ll definitely be going back.“

“Best Asian in Gastonia, clean and organized“

“Food is great , service was quick and courteous . adequate parfking .The waitress took time to explain the menu I highly reccomend this restaurant in Gastonia“

“Been going to La Fuente since they opened 30 years ago. Went last night and took pictures of the Christmas decorations. Merry Christmas from Ben and his gang!“

“I love this place. It is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area. My favorite California roll ever! My family and I are regulars both in person and through doordash as well.“

“I haven’t had Greek Food since I moved here from the DMV. I wanted take out. The young lady answered on the second ring,(good sign). Ordered two Gyro platters and a Club Sandwich. The food was delicious. The order was ready when I arrived for pickup. The food was fresh, no French Fries in old grease which tends to make them look brown. The white sauce on the Gyro which I can’t pronounce was in the correct amount not drowning the peta bread. The Club Sandwich wash fresh. The lettuce was crunchy not soggy. I will eat there again. I do recommend them.“

“Hey everybody, Caribbean Hut is absolutely amazing! Shan was so welcoming and friendly and her kind presence made my experience even more memorable. I suggest everyone head on down Caribbean Hut! The Oxtails are spectacular! Do yourself a favor and go to Caribbean hut 🤩“

“This has and always will be one of my favorite places for comfort food. While I do prefer the Mt. Holly location a little more (I grew up in the area, and it just feels more home town), the service is always amazing, quick, and the staff are always friendly.“

“Great food! The salad dressings are delicious and totally drinkable. Our server on Sunday Brian was fun, friendly and attentive. One of the best servers I’ve had there. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants consistency.“

“So was in dynasty Buffett today with my son and daughter in law and our service was good, until I went to the counter to pay for our meals. I go up to the counter to pay and the next thing I know, the guy that waited on us( his name is Reno), literally takes my card from my hand when I was handing it to the lady behind the counter( I wasn't handing it to him). He just takes it from my hand and that really upset me.. You should never grab a customers card out of their hand like that without having permission to do so.and he did 😡. So to say I'm upset is an understatement!!!!!!!. I go back into dynasty to ask if the manager was there and they wasn't, and I started to leave my number for them to call me when they were there, but I thought better about it. Because while I didn't appreciate the waiter taking my card from my hand without permission, I decided I'd come back another day and ask for the manager in person. That way I can talk face to face...that day will be very soon and ill keep going back each day until I get to speak to the manager. Everything else about the restaurant was fine and the food was good with a big selection to choose from. I have no complaints about the place in general, but the management should hire a better staff of people that don't just take a customers card out of their hand without permission.. Especially when the customer wasn't handing it to the waiter in the first place. I was handing it to the lady behind the counter. I'm not sure why the waiter did what he did but it was rude and the waiter should be spoken to about his actions, otherwise he might do it again to someone else that won't be as nice as I was about it I will be talking to management.“

“Wow, wow, wow!!! I wasn't sure what to expect, as this was my first time, but I was NOT disappointed. I ordered the bacon burger with a few changes and it was executed perfectly!!!! I will absolutely be coming back here. The staff was also very pleasant!“

“Went for my birthday Tuesday night, was disappointed that they had no bread, one of my favorite things. No sign when we went in, but one was up when I left.“

“I left North Carolina, and came back for a visit tonight… As soon as I saw the showmars sign, it was very pleasing. It was excellent“

“Throughly enjoyed my ribeye except what kind of meat was it. Some of it was tough. The garlic butter didn't melt. And being here the second time. Bake potato was cold wouldn't even melt the cheese and not cooked through. Plus my husband asked for the same batter that they used on the shrimp for the fish. Absolutely 💯 perfect . The restaurant need to add it to the menu for fish and Chip with malt vinegar. He comes from England. More business for you“

“It's a quaint restaurant with fantastic service and food. The servers are just right- friendly and caring, but not overbearing with checking on patrons. The pancakes themselves have out of this world flavor! I also had the Western omelette with cheese and the chunks of ham were monstrous! I would love to have this place in the Raleigh/Cary area rather than Waffle House or IHOP. This place makes pancakes AND waffles, and I was so happy!“

“Fresh, hot and delicious! Really good vegetable lo mein. Sha cha chicken has just the right amount of spice. Honey chicken will melt in your mouth. Best lo mein compared to other local Chinese restaurants. Staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the vegetable lo mein, honey chicken, Sha cha chicken, beef with broccoli, peppered steak and shrimp fried rice.“

“Visiting Greenville recently, we had an excellent experience at Logan’s . It was Friday evening. We were seated quickly and they took initial drink and appetizer orders shortly after. They also provided a huge basket of delicious rolls. I gave the service 5stars because they stopped by frequently, but not enough to be intrusive. They took our order, and brought the check very timely, and refilled drinks without being asked. They did not offer information regarding the menu., but I did not deduct. The atmosphere was fine, no complaints, just typical steak house., similar to chain restaurants. During our trip it was relaxing and quiet. Parking and access were not an issue. The menu and food is very similar to Texas Roadhouse. Everyone’s meal was well prepared. At the TR in our area it tends to be somewhat hit or miss. The steak was truly med as requested, and the ribs were juicy and flavorful for me., although another person in our party was less impressed - not bad, but they might be on the bland side for some. The salad was unremarkable. So I did take one star off on food - very good, but not outstanding for all items. Could be 4.5. Also considering value, portions were good size, but the food prices were similar to TR in a higher cost area. There is a kids menu but I did not pay enough attention to comment on it. Based on our experience I definitely recommend Logan’s if you are looking for a no-hassles steak house meal with very good food and excellent service.“

“Cash only, but great food, and the best bananna pudding anywhere.
I just wish resturant pricing would back down a bit.
I have eaten there since 99, and its the best food, but remembering a $10 meal that is now $22! That is for the 1/4 chicken plate, with hushpuppies and fries, with a large ice tea and a bananna pudding, so a great deal by todays inflated rates!

Inflation SUCKS! But Shrimp boat is fantastic!“

“love everything! Best Phö around!“
