50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Mount Holly

“If I could give 10 stars I would. My first time trying Pies & Sides, I called and they were closed but luckily she was going in anyways. She explained every pie & was so sweet. Walked the pies out because my hands were full with a toddler. She wouldn’t let me tip her but I can guarantee I will be a returning customer! Cooking our first pie today & it looks amazing ❤️“

“great food, great service. I was very impressed with the Italian food. Everything was so fresh and delicioous!!“

“10/10 My 1st time but won’t be my last!“

“Omg, food is AMAZING! I’m vegan and this is by far the best vegan food I’ve had in a long time from a restaurant. The owner/chef came out to bring me my food and she is so sweet. It made me happy to experience her and her food. She has gained a forever customer and I wish nothing but the best for her and her business.“

“Delicious! My fave is Island Soursop and I just found it Friday at the Christmas show. I’ve had 1 daily since Friday and I’m obsessed. I also loved the Mango but honestly all the flavors I tried were delicious also. I feel great and hydrated plus the taste is incredible. I have several more to drink this week and will be getting more soon! Try it- you will not regret it!!!“

“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.“

“LOVE COMING ON SATURDAYS SO MUCH FUN LOTS OF MEATS ORGANIC FISH FRESH FLOWERS BEAUTIFUL PRICEING IS EXCELLENT“

“Food was very tasty and fresh“

“Unos de los mejores restaurantes que he visitado, la atención, la comida todo perfecto. Volvería todos los fines de semana si pudiera.“

“First, very large outdoor and indoor seating available. Over 50 or so brews on tap, as well as wine and liquor options. I had the steak burger with jalapeño slaw, which was ok. Burger was thin but tasty. Slaw wasn't any slaw I've ever seen, kinda dry. Overall, it's a better place to get a brew than food, in my opinion. Would definitely go back.“

“My husband and I ate here on our lunch break. We didn't have to wait for a table. Once we sat down we were immediately served!! We've ate there before and have never had a bad experience. The food comes out hot and cooked to perfection!! If you want a good home cooked southern meal then stop by!“

“If you want the taste of authentic Mexican food, don't hesitate, go to Anita's. I've been to Mexico numerous times and only Anita's comes close to the type of good cooking I've had in Mexico. The staff is friendly, the food is great, all at a reasonable price. I hope one day they will open a location in Ballantyne!“

“Had a really nice lunch here with the family. The food was fresh, and the staff was super friendly. Definitely coming back next time we’re in the area!“

“Discovered this gem while walking around downtown Gastonia! Great coffee, friendly service, and awesome recommendations from the barista. Highly recommend!“

“The best ice cream in the area. The staff is great and the servings are large, and the ice cream is oh so delicious.“

“The food and drinks are perfect, very tasty. Service was really good every staff member was very attentive“

“So many flavors and combinations of Italian Ice and Soft Serve. Delicious!“

“The vibe here is amazing! I love a double entendre so walking in to see a sign that says “meat here” with a giant arrow instantly gives me the giggles! The multicolored decor and cool artwork made it hard to do anything but keep smiling. As soon as we’re seated our waitress says “I love your earring and all your jewlery” and I was smitten. I took my jacket off right as she was brining our food. “I love your tattoos” she says and I’m falling in love with this place. The cheesin steak sandwich is smothered in cheese, the wings are crispy, our appetizers came out fast and hot, and the atmosphere was great. I was having such a good time I didn’t even mind the watered down, chunkless blu cheese. You won’t either I promise! My husband and friends notified the waitress it was my 29th birthday to which she replied “29 would have never guessed your 29!” and I’m a little shocked. The thing is it was 13th 29th birthday so I reply “ and how old did you think I was?” I’m expecting a 35 or 36…. She says “24!” I laughed so much and said “I’m actually 42” and it was her turn to be shocked. She actually insisted I pull out my ID and that’s when I knew this lunch date was a Flirtatious Fork 5 star “Marry Me” good! ❤️ the food, the vibe, the service, the drinks (get the emerald godness, it’s amazing!) 💔 having to leave and knowing there isn’t a groovy beast near me! If im ever in Gastonia again I’ll go back!“

“I would recommend Ej’s soul food great food.“

“We had a great meal and service tonight. Allison took excellent care of us. It was a birthday party and there was 10 of us. We were loud but we had a number of miserable people complaining. Didn't phase our group any. Happy New Year to all.“

“Exelente atención de todos los muchachos,la comida muy deliciosa,Buena música,ayer Sábado 30 agosto 2025 ,Exelente presentación musical de la Señora imitando Ana Gabriel y también de Jorge que canta muy bien ,hace su show Musical ,también es Salonero .#1“

“Southern Tier brews some of the best beer in the WORLD!!The Charlotte location is a great spot to stop in for a beer, cider or a Southern Tier mixed drink. Today, our bartender Heath worked with the kitchen to accomodate our dietary restrictions. That's TOP NOTCH customer service!!! We love Southern Tier and can't wait for Pumpking to be released.“

“Absolutely love them and will always go to them when I need a dessert. �“

“A little piece of Greek life With great taste“

“Great food, our second visit and we liked what we had the first time we had it again. We were not disappointed oh and the Vietnamese Ice coffee it’s like dessert“

“We ordered samsa first, then plov, soup, and lagman — both fried and with broth. We just couldn’t believe how everything literally melted in our mouths — it was incredibly delicious!
And to finish, we had a slice of cake — and wow, it was absolutely amazing!
We’re in love with this place 🥰 Definitely recommending it to everyone!“

“The cupcakes are delicious but Ayana should not be running that store alone and definitely needs some training on how to work in a restaurant. 5+1=6 I hope she sees this review too. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL EXPERIENCE. I ordered online they didn’t have one of my cupcakes she said she called I said I was sorry I didn’t get a call. Then proceeded to tell me I ordered seven cupcakes when I looked at the receipt there was five cupcakes and one extra adding up to six total cupcakes. She argued with me about the amount of cupcakes I ordered.“

“Love the quiet vibe and the food was very tasty. Has the turkey sandwich with fruits as a side, which I must say was a breath of fresh air from the typical sides offered in America consisting of various types of fries. A little cup of assorted fruits hits the spot.“

“Great service and fantastic sandwiches.“

“This soul food restaurant is awesome I enjoyed my meal I ate everything on my plate and it is so clean, the table the legs on the table the chairs, the shiny floors, the counter top by the drink machine mirror shine. I like to go to resturants and the food is good and the place is clean. Now the staff very nice and helpful I will travel to see them again, oh yeah the dessert i got cheesecake baby eat it slow or you will be buying another one. Enjoy your meal when you go and tell other people to support this black soul food restaurant. Peace everyone“

“Today my friends and family met for lunch at your location, we had a great time and great food, Brittany was amazing we were taken back by her service and happiness she brought to our table, We recommend Akahana Asian Bistro - Belmont NC for you next food experience.“

“#4 was delicious 😋 also the fries were very good I got the Cajun seasoned ones. Toppings were very fresh on the sandwich also. Good flavor in the meat and the service was excellent. I’ll def go back to try summer roll and beef sub“

“Incredible food, ambiance and service. Our waitress, Ashley, was outstanding. This sweet young lady was bubbly, outgoing and attentive. We couldn't have asked for a better evening out.“

“Rai Lay is a fusion of Asian hibachi with a beautiful atmosphere. The food is average and the wait staff and kitchen take a while to come but the food is cooked fresh. The one issue i saw while leaving is the food inspection score from the city of Charlotte was only a 90.“

“I had the bang bang shrimp, birria tacos, & the Buffalo cauliflower. All incredible!!! Best Vegan food I’ve tried. If you can’t choose what to get I highly recommend the bang bang shrimp!“

“This place is totally legit! They have awesome Mediterranean style cuisine which never disappoints! It’s small and a little divey but this place is all about the food which is awesome! They have Lunch Specials (M-F until 3PM) where you can get Chicken or Kafta Kababs or Shawarma Meat with two sides for $12.99. That’s one of the best lunch deals in town! It is on my regular restaurant rotation list!

Friendly staff with good service too. If you love Mediterranean cuisine or are on the Mediterranean Diet and don’t feel like cooking, this is the place for you!“

“We’ve celebrated New Year’s Eve at Saigon Palace for several years. The staff is always accommodating ( we added 4 extra people at the last minute), they were so friendly bringing up an extra table & chairs. The food was delicious and we’ll probably be at SP again to celebrate birthdays and New Year’s Eve. Thanks so much to all the wonderful people from servers and kitchen staff.“

“like going there for the breakfast 😋 it's the best“

“I had one of the best dining experiences I've ever had at Olive Garden thanks to our amazing server, Nina. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. She checked in at all the right times without ever hovering, and she carried this calm, positive energy that made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable.

Nina knew the menu like the back of her hand, she gave great recommendations, made sure everything came out fresh and hot, and even caught small details before we had to ask. You can tell she really cares about her guests and takes pride in her job.

What stood out the most was her kindness and consistency. Even when the restaurant got busy, she never rushed us or let her service drop. That level of professionalism is rare these days, and it made our visit feel special.

If you visit this Olive Garden, ask for Nina. She turns a regular dinner into a memorable experience. Give this woman a raise.“

“She is so very talented!!!! This banana pudding cake melted in our mouths, so good. Very professional, thanks for everything.“

“The food truck is located in the N. Charlotte Lowe's parking lot. 1100 Chancellor Park Dr 28213.The food is authentic and off the charts with a subtle intertwining of awesome deliciousness.You can not go wrong with anything that you order. Every single order is prepared fresh, right in front of you.The house sauces are all scratchmade, and Chef Rey is phenomenal behind that grill and a fantastic person as well. Both outgoing and gregarious.My personal favorite is the Cubano tortas. And it's served with some very nicely done French fries.So, if you're in the area, or even if you're not, take a drive, and give your taste buds a treat.If you took the time to read this review, please take a 1/2 second and click like. Thank you.“

“I love this restaurant. The food is always amazing. Chef Roscoe and his team have great and simple recipes that will warm any soul up. Always cool smiles and good vibes. Nick and Hunter are some of the best fellas you could have take care of you. Ask for Bo, Gordon, or Libby, and you’re guaranteed to have a great experience.“

“I had the Pad Kee Mow and it was AMAZING! I ordered mine with shrimp and my wife had the chicken. I love good Thai food, and this was the best so far of all of the other Thai restaurants I have tried in the area.“

“This place is fantastic! Went there last night for a networking meeting and was thoroughly impressed. The food, decor, and the live band were so great! Will definitely come back in the future just to hang out, meet for business, or to grab a great bite. The staff was so nice and had me in stitches! A true must visit!“

“Everything especially the mac and cheese“

“A wonderful experience indeed. "UPTOWN MINIBAR" has a full bar with variety of spirits in each preference. Prices are very fair for an airport!Food: Ordered Bacon, Cheddar, & Chicken Sandwich with crispy fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a delicious seasoning & toppings were plentiful.Cocktail: Blueberry Pomegranate Margarita with a house reposado (AMAZING ??) - perfect balance of flavors & pours were consistent! The bartenders were very friendly, personable, & knowledge.Atmosphere: The music was island vibes - hence my stress disappeared once I say down! Both bartenders we're on top of keeping the bar clean & organized (my OCD was very thankful! ??).“

“GREAT experience!!!! People so friendly! Clean bathroom and facility. They took our trash for us, asked us for refills and what we needed. So nice! Delicious food and desert!!!“

“What can I say but WOW! This Famous Toastery is a 10! From the time we walked in the door the staff was Awesome! Smiles on faces of everyone working and others dining. The service in this place is a 20. Everyone from the front greeter to the bus person, 3 waitresses…oh my, we just can’t say enough about them all. EVERYONE mentioned asked us several times if we needed anything. Our food was hot and delicious!!! The Toastery made us feel comfortable and like we were a grandmas loving home during the holidays. Thank you to EVERYONE. Summer, you have a fabulous place. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you to everyone! Merry Christmas!“
