50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Stanley

“Excellent vegetarian and vegan fare. I grew up eating from this place before I was vegan and was so happy to find that I can eat there still as a vegan! The hot and spicy tofu is my favorite, nice and crisp on the outside with excellent flavor! Such good comfort food at reasonable prices“

“Meat lovers rejoice. How in the Wide, Wide World of Sports did a place this great end up in Stanley. Been twice and not disappointed. Wife always gets the Filet. I've had the Ribeye and the Salmon. Mighty tasty. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“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“

“I absolutely love the food here and order the bowls for pickup often. Best açaí bowl I’ve ever had!

However, the cleaner that they use inside is super strong, like pine sol or something. I couldn’t wait to get out of there and definitely could not have sat and ate a meal inside.

Vegetarian options: Really awesome vegan bowls with protein powder!“

“The best bagels and northern style deli in our area! Efficient, friendly service!“

“Excellent food and service“

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

“We've eaten at Westlake (aka Red Roof) since moving to Denver ten years ago. We bring all family and friends when we have guests from out of town. We love it and they love it! My son and I ate there yesterday. We love breakfast for lunch! I love a family style restaurant! I want to support the locals as much as possible! Thanks for the great service and delicious food! I highly recommend this restaurant!!

“Overall great dining experience on an explorative family outing. The only consideration was the dessert. The Banana pudding while served up in a giant goblet of a dish was 95% cream whip. A great Banana pudding in most opinions should have either banana or cookie or both in every bite.“

“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.“

“You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Great family owned restaurant who serves THE best red velvet cake in Gaston Co. If you haven't been it's a must try!!“

“I love this place. The Pad Thai is the best in the area. I eat it once a week. My husband loves the Pho, and the wings are delicious as well. Everything we've had here has always been fresh and hot. Their prices are very low as well compared to surrounding restaurants and food trucks.“

“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!“

“Food and service is excellent. The value is great for the amount of food you get. Sara L was polite and very attentive. The calamari was a huge portion and enough for 4 people as an appetizer. Every time we come here we leave happy and full and with some leftover for the next day. Highly recommend“

“I recommend them for everything food’s good and the service is great. They know what they’re doing and also it’s not that expensive either and it’s in a good location.“

“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“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Mayworth Public House! The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of upscale and laid-back pub vibes, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and nights out. The menu features classic American favorites, and the rotating selection of local craft beers is a huge plus. We tried the parmesan truffle fries (crispy and full of flavor), the giant fish sandwich paired with a loaded baked potato, and the Brussels sprouts — everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and the overall experience was excellent. Definitely a spot we’ll be returning to! 🍻🍽️“

“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.“

“I love this place! The food is delicious and the people are delightful! As someone who is from Buffalo, I am very particular about my pizza and wings. Joe’s consistently knocks it out of the park! Do good. Be good. God bless. Go Bills. Eat Joe’s Touch of Italy!“

“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!“

“Our first visit was today. The food was amazing and the Manager that was working the afternoon was amazing. The Manager stepped up and came our waitress she filled our drinks and brought our bill. Our Waitress we had was horrible she never once refilled our drinks. She only took our order and delivered it to us. We did leave a tip which should go to the Manager. We will visit again just hope we have a different waitress.“

“I went in for dinner recently and the food was great as always. My server was wonderful, very attentive. My only concern is that the place was cold and crafty. Every time the front door opened for somebody to come in or go out, we got a blast of very cold air. NOT PLEASANT!!“

“fantastic service. always fast and hot.“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“
