45 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Wake Forest

“Rocky Mount, great atmosphere and the food is delicious.“

“Autumn was great!“

“This was our 3rd time here for dinner. The first time , 2 years go was exceptional.the food, atmosphere, and service were amazing. Last year we went and there were flies swarming our table. We ordered the osso bucco which is typically veal shank. This came as 2 tiny little pork ankles not veal, and was disappointing in taste. This year, we decided to go at Christmas to see the decorations. We ordered the burrata, and they brought us the shrimp appetizer. We sent it back and the server came back with it & said that we ordered it. Which we did not, instead of a confrontation, we kept it. It was delicious, but not what we ordered. The primo dish , we ordered the ravioli to share, it was very good. For or entree, we ordered the veal chop. It was chewy as if undercooked, soggy, as if it layed in its breadcrumb coating too long. For a $47.00 vealchop, it was a complete disappointment in taste and texture .as we went there specifically for the veal chop. After 3xs, the meals got worse instead of better. Our waiter was excellent, it’s too bad., but the food has gone downhill. We are Italian and are always looking for a great Italian meal. This was not!“

“So delicious!!!! I love their Briyani“

“Really good food and super friendly staff! My only complaint is I am legitimately unable to eat french fries anymore (which I used to love!!) and have to pay extra every time to get a small side salad to substitute.“

“Awesome NY/NJ style pizza 🍕 and other great Italian dishes!“

“Best sushi ever! Great service! Cozy atmosphere!“

“This place is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Calling all Northerners...you want home food here it is. Boardwalk Food...EVERYTHING is delicious. My boyfriend & I eat here EVERY Saturday. Pizza by the slice, Hoagie that is mouth watering & calzones that are outta this world!!!! Try it you won't regret it“

“The food was excellent!!! A/C was down so it was a bit warm, still cooler than outside, but the decor was nice! Service was good, but they got busy right after we entered and they only had 2 servers so it was a bit of a wait to get our check and and to request a few items after the food came, but the server(we didn't catch her name, darn it!) was very accommodating and didn't pester us like some restaurants. She also made sure everything was good before we left and was very sweet. The hostess/manager(I presume) was very nice and also refilled my soup to-go. We had the fried dumplings, which were perfectly crispy! I had the Japchae and my wife had the Budae Jjigae. The Japchae had way more meat than other Korean restaurants we've to in Cary and the Budae Jjigae had so much meat it was insane! Good Friends Soju, peach is always a good choice and the Terra beer they offer is a decent import and good price for the size. Fyi, the photo of Bao Buns on Google maps is 4 years old and they no longer carry that item. Could be previous owners? Anyway, don't second guess it. Eat here. Amazing!!!!“

“I enjoyed this little spot. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in. This was a last minute dinning decision. However, we had to waiters (shift change) and they were both great! The tables were nice the lighting was dim which created a nice ambiance. The food was good. I ordered a steak quesadilla. My only con: the tables are a little close together.“

“Great cafeteria style food. Tried the chicken & pastry. HUGE serving! Delicious and had to carry a bunch of leftovers home. Took home a brisket sandwich for later. It was outstanding! Highly recommend it when it’s on the menu!“

“I love the environment that is family and dog friendly. The bartenders are quick to help you find the perfect beverage and enjoy down live music. Come on out!“

“Always pleased with the food and service. Quality seafood.“

“In my humble opinion, this is the best place in Raleigh for breakfast or lunch. I go there at least once a week. The quality of the food is consistently outstanding. The servers and people that work in the restaurant are very dedicated to providing excellent service. Most of them have work there a long time, and that tells you a lot. And it seems that everyone in the surrounding communities knows about Brigs and rates them as highly as I do.“

“I enjoyed the beef and cheese and the Raleigh which is bbq pork. They were very good! Hubby liked the Havana and Cuban but not the chicken and cheese. I reheated them in my air fryer. The girl working the counter today was very sweet, friendly and helpful! 2/15/24“

“Enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere!“

“So I still recommend, still think the staff are the nicest people and still think their food is some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had but…. Disappointed second time in a row. Last time our request for a dish to be mild was missed and tonight, that same dish was inedible. Tough, strings of meat throughout (see image). There was more spit out than made in to our bellies and this dish isn’t cheap but If it’s a quality issue, I’d rather pay a few bucks more but I’m inclined to think it’s an overcooking issue. Thank goodness for the delicious crab Rangoon and please don’t change those.“

“We absolutely love The Burger Shop! Growing up in Wake Forest, it’s one of our favorite nostalgic local spots that we love to hit up for lunch! The burgers are the best you’ll get in town! You can dine inside or (our favorite) outside! You HAVE to get an Orangeade to go with your burger, it’s a MUST! Don’t worry about eating too much, you can take a stroll downtown afterwards! Highly, highly recommend!“

“Always great food with outstanding customer service at a terrific affordable price. Have been many times over the years!!“

“Great food and friendly staff. I will go back.“

“Great food and environmental“

“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!!!“

“This is the best seafood place around in the area. The waiters and staff are very friendly. The food is delicious and there is usually enough to have leftovers. The staff and waiters are very friendly and the food comes out relatively fast. Very nice place to eat dinner and the outside seating is very nice.“

“Always impressed when I get pizza from Johnny’s Pizza in Wake Forest. They never disappoint! Large pizzas, high quality, at very good prices! Staff does a great job, fast, polite and efficient. You get your money’s worth. Love the NY style pizza, and I was born in NY! Keep up the quality work Johnny! I will be back.“

“Always a comfy place to go, staff is always pretty friendly and helpful. They've informed me more than once about their specials and how I can get more for less everytime. Do note that at this store you have to BRING YOUR PIZZA HOME, to COOK IT yourself. It's the whole point of the "Take 'N' Bake" experience.. People who leave bad reviews are usually Karens/Kyles who can't read a damn sign. The people here are lovely and I haven't had to wait longer than 10 minutes even when there was a crowd.

Vegetarian options: They not only offer vegetarian pizza options, but also vegetarian side dishes and salads during some occasions“

“I love the environment that is family and dog friendly. The bartenders are quick to help you find the perfect beverage and enjoy down live music. Come on out!“

“Two Sundays in a row. EXCELLENT. Ordered spicy pork fried rice and got exactly that. Also ordered shredded pork today. Fantastic. Prices and portions also excellent. Wife loves the pad thai. More Malaysian style pad thai but fantastic. LOVE this place. HIGHLY recommend! ?“

“The Lemon Tree is such a treasure and the food is always delicious! I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying their extensive lunch menu, the special order sides at Thanksgiving, and recently we’ve been ordering the family meal plans while I’ve been recovering from a surgery. The food is always fresh and healthy, and it feels like a warm hug. And the lemon bars… highly addictive! The new location in the Renaissance Center plaza is perfect, especially now that you can browse Page158 books while you eat. It doesn’t get any better than a good meal and a good book!“

“Love this place! Friendly people great bar and food!“

“First time dining- everything was amazing. Service was great, staff was so friendly! Why have we waited so long to come here!?! Seafood stew was amazing! Beet salad was too!!“

“This is a favorite local Chinese place! My family has been eating here for years and it never disappoints. One of the owners of the establishment always makes me feel special: she remembers my order, my special requests, gives me extra spicy sauce as a surprise in the bag, etc. I love this place!“

“I'm from N.Y so I know Brooklyn style pizza. I've been coming here for over 5 years consistently every week, and it's New York style pizza 100% plus all the other Italian dishes are excellent just as good as homemade if not better. Frankie the owner and his big staff are always friendly, professional and extremely cleaniness minded. Quality is always consistent. 100% recommended.“

“I can’t say enough about Thai Cafe in Wake Forest. My husband and I went tonight, for dinner. First time. Excellent service, delicious fresh food, chic atmosphere, large comfortable booth seats, and loooong menu… all spectacular. Did not save room for dessert, but will next time! Go! No reservations.“

“Very friendly staff. Good entrees, but there pizza and Stromboli are the best anywhere around.“

“Great food selection with great prices“

“So good! Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. Molcajete & fresh guacamole cart were 👌🏻👌🏻 Will definitely be back.“

“Food was better tonight than the previous visits! Must be a new chef??“

“Normally, yes, but tonight was horrible!. It took over an hour to get our food; the pizza was terrible — was supposed to be half plain cheese and The other had lots of veggies on it. Over a 3rd of it had the veggies- way more than half, so my kids were very disappointed as they only like cheese. Pizza was very sloppy also. My salad was also incorrect - it came with things on it I specified that should not be on there. They clearly were rushing. I will not order again on a Saturday evening! Very disappointed.“

“Excellent place. Its everything you'd want from a mom and pop. The staff was nice and the food is definitely home cooking.“

“Went in and ordered to go. Food was delicious as always and service was great! We got the hibachi steak, which we had never tried, but it was so good! Will definitely get it again. We also got 2 teriyaki chicken, one with rice and one with noodles, both very good.“

“The food was really good I would say next time I eat out this will be my first option and the food came to the table in less than 2 minutes other than a fast food restaurant this was the fastest food I’ve ever had.?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Greatest NC has to offer!“

“Great breakfast and friendly staff“

“This was a random dinner selection and WOW! What a wonderful treat! We did the BOGO sushi rolls - Tempura 2 and Crunchy Special - some of the best sushi rolls we’ve ever had (and they were huge, we did not finish all of it). We also split some crab wontons (yummy) and the teriyaki chicken with white rice. It was all so so good, we also didn’t finish the teriyaki chicken and have some tasty leftovers. And then, at the last minute I saw the Thai Coconut Cake on the dessert menu… oh. My. Goodness. Talk about HEAVEN in cake form - this is some of the best cake I have ever had in my life and requested my wife get me one for my next birthday. It was thick, rich, not overwhelmingly coconut-y (if there was any downside to the cake it would be that, but my wife who doesn’t like coconut enjoyed it too!), and just incredible. I 100000% percent recommend Sushi Siam!! They had tons of other things on the menu that sounded delicious that we will be trying next time we go, and our server was very very sweet and super friendly. All around great spot!“
