17 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Rutherfordton

“I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for so long— finally had to chance tonight. And we were not disappointed!! The cozy atmosphere was so inviting, right in the heart of downtown Rutherfordton. The food was amazing, authentic Thai food. We will be back!“

“We’re new to town and this was our first time trying YSP. It was FANTASTIC! The young lady on the phone was so polite and the pizza was just great!! We built our own pizza and they followed instructions to the tee!! Definitely our go-to place for pizza. 🍕 ✌🏻💛🍕“

“My first experience was top notch! Our waitress, very young girl was very accommodating and checked in multiple times. It’s hard to find waitresses like that anymore. Most seem to hate their jobs. Food was out almost as soon as we ordered and everything was amazing! I would highly recommend!“

“Very consistent! Food is always good. The service is always great. I love the owner always answers the phone. Basically all to go food. I don't think people actually sit down and eat here. No table service.. But they usually answer on the first ring. Fast. And fair prices.“

“Good food and good music!!“

“Usually I have a good experience eating at Gregory’s. It’s one of the few places around that still has a salad bar. That is what I ordered today…a one trip salad bar. However, the inappropriately dressed millennial waitress wearing nude spandex short, shorts, never brought me a plate. When I went to the counter to ask for a salad plate, she made eye contact with me and then turned around, continuing to ignore me while talking to another waitress. Nope…not going to be ignored! How difficult is it to bring a plate to my table so I can serve myself from your salad bar??? There are other restaurants in town! And what a shame for the inappropriately dressed millennial waitress wearing nude spandex short, shorts who was too lazy to bring me a plate…I left a nice tip to the appropriately dressed young woman (who was also wearing shorts) at the other restaurant!“

“Looked for a winery near our weekend getaway house in Tryon, NC. This winery is the BEST experience I've had, and I've toured many in CA. You can't beat the outdoor view, the ambiance, and the wine. You think when trying flights you might have a few hits or misses...but not here! Seriously, I liked all but one wine, these were that good. Their winemaker is top notch. The wines are not even that expensive - amazingly priced in fact. I have tasted wines that cost 2x this amount and aren't anywhere NEAR as good!

And the staff was honestly the best of all. Briana helped us at our table and brought her humor, warmth and wine knowledge A-game. She let us sample a few wines with her recommendations and questioning on what we liked generally - and ALL her recommended ones were on point, even 2 wines I wouldn't have considered!

We were enjoying ourselves so much we stayed for hours, watching the sun set and listening to live music. We ordered a delicious charcuterie to pair with our wine flights - and in the end we bought 3 bottles of wine, and joined their no-pressure wine club. With the drive being only 2 hours from our house, it's a no-brainer that we will come back to try and buy their wines.

Lastly, but not least, the general manager came by our table to greet and thank us for coming. We raved about our experience and told him we chose Mountain Brook Vineyards for our 20th wedding Anniversary weekend getaway (from the kids, haha). He GAVE us another bottle of wine to celebrate us! We were so floored at the kindness.

If you are considering visiting - GO! I can't wait for my CA family to visit so I can take them here. Best. Anniversary. Ever“

“we went for the first time tonight and it was amazing! our waitor was friendly, engaging, and didn't mind cracking jokes with the kids! we definitely plan to come back!“

“My wife & i had there pizza, it was delicious. Best pizza in town, really tastes like n.y. pizza. Im from n.y. definitely try it ,you wont be disappointed.“

“Make a reservation. You will be asked when you are greeted at the door if you have a reservation, we didn't know and we were asked as soon as we stepped foot in the door. Set the tone. We were excited to try this place as we are long time supporters of NC wine makers, and it's a beautiful place but alas we will venture on down the mountain.
Sangria was good.
Remember kindness as it will follow you always.“

“We enjoyed a delicious and affordable Sunday Brunch this past weekend. There were lots of homemade options paired with great service and a welcoming staff. After years away, we'll be back soon.“

“Food is always great (awesome job cooks) and the waitresses are amazing:)“

“We had a very good meal today. We came around 3pm after golfing. Mahi Tacos were delicious. Very cold beer ( N/A Ultra) which was appreciated after a hot day in the sun. Waitress was very informative and honest with her recommendations. Would definitely recommend.“

“New to the area. Locals said they have the best burgers. Hubby and I came in and it's like being at your favorite people's house in their kitchen with good eats 🤤 Lemonade is also very good. We will be back for more!“

“This place is awesome. Food is always good and hot. Service could be a little faster but I know not to go here if I’m in a hurry. But food has always been top notch. Never had to wait for a seat more than 5 mins. Pricing I think is pretty fair. Highly recommend giving this place a shot.“

“Egg, meat, hashbrown bowls.“

“I'm a sucker for the Chilli's Queso, have been for a hot minute and it's still so good as well as the service. Love this location, I hadn't gone in years, but I tried it once with my kids last year and we've quickly added this to one of our faves family tradition. We just go early, before 5, to beat the dinner rush. It gets busy!“
