50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Brookhaven

“Painter’s is where portion sizes border on the absurd and service moves at lightning speed. On Father’s Day, with the parking lot packed, we braced for a long wait, but were seated instantly, perhaps by restaurant wizardry. The staff? Efficient, friendly, and impressively attentive despite being slammed. The craft beer selection? Solid, featuring multiple IPAs, including Sand City’s local legend, "Oops I Hopped My Pants." And the food? Each dish arrived in comical abundance, leaving us marveling at the sheer generosity of Painter’s kitchen. Massive portions, incredible flavors. As for dessert, Painter’s offers a parade of palate-pleasing perfection. A symphony of sweets so spectacular they silence self-restraint. Countless confections, crafted with precision, passion, and pure decadence. Bring an appetite, a to-go container, or maybe your Wegovy shot.“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“Went with gf had great time from the pretzel croissant to the amazing flowerless cake everything was delicious. Has great view of port Jeff. Staff is friendly Deff going back. And offer seasonal menu“

“Yummy treats and great variety that’s fun!“

“This place is great. It’s my go to for a quick,healthy option instead of something more processed or fried. I came shortly before closing on this last trip, which means most of my favorite stuff is gone. However it was still delicious and fresh even 20 minutes before closing.“

“A very welcoming restaurant with friendly wait staff and hostess. The food was delicious and a good value for the price fixed. We had fig carpaccio, roasted pumpkin with quail, duck and the mixed grill. The only thing we didn't really enjoy was the rice that came with the mixed grill. We felt the flavors did not go well together. The crème brûlée and poached pear were very enjoyable desserts“

“I was brought here for my birthday highly recoommended fantastic.Will be back“

“🎉 Yanilka is the best waitress! If you want to enjoy great food, a nice atmosphere, and the best service, you have to come here and ask for Yanilka. She’ll recommend the best options and always make you happy with her service. She’s simply the best! 🙌🫶“

“We love Wings. The food is great. Staff very friendly. Its a nice cozy place to have breakfast“

“Just got this delivered and oh my god- phenomenal! I normally don’t write reviews but I had to shout from the rooftops how great everything was- the lo mein, chicken and broccoli, and wonton soup was so tasty and fresh. I got dinner for my man and don’t normally enjoy Chinese food as much as he does, but this blew me away! Wish I could give more than 5 stars ✨“

“We've been coming to Orto since it opened, and have brought family and friends several times. My husband proposed to me while we dined there four years ago and we recently went back to celebrate our anniversary. Every meal has been wonderful.“

“Besides the product being excellent the customer service is amazing. Had an issues with delivery and they were quick to respond and correct the problem! This product is worth every penny and the excellent customer service is a huge bonus.“

“Top notch sushi, the best prices I have seen for the quality. I’ve been ordering from Kira Sushi since about 2021, their quality has been consistent and their menu prices haven’t raised drastically like everything else does.“

“Amazing food and awesome curry dishes. The mangos are next level. Totally recommend 👍“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Tap Room (Patchogue) (specifically the Patchogue location). We were invited to a family party, buffet-style. I reached out to the restaurant via email, because I wanted to make sure they could accommodate my daughters food allergies -- eggs, soy, sunflower seeds, tree nuts and peanuts, or I would plan ahead and pack snacks she could safely eat instead. The Culinary Director, Joseph Walsh, called me the next day. He spoke to me for awhile, went over her food allergies, made some suggestions, and assured me that he would come up with something she could safely eat. The morning of the party, he sent me an email to confirm we were coming and his suggestions for a safe meal (rice and beans sauteed with bell peppers, chicken cutlet w/ no egg, and a mixed fruit salad). I emailed him back that just rice and beans and the fruit salad would be fine, because she doesn't eat chicken. He emailed me back, concerned that rice and beans and a fruit salad wouldn't be enough, but I assured him it would be fine because she's only 7 and has anxiety over trying new foods at restaurants (understandably), so sticking with rice and beans and fruit salad, which she's comfortable with, would be perfect. At the event, Joseph told my relative that he wanted to talk to us, and when we arrived, he came to introduce himself, told me that he was making sure everything was prepared separately and would be ready for her shortly. Absolutely fantastic service. We truly, truly appreciated all his care and effort, because that's sadly not the norm most of the time when we try to eat out. Thank you Joseph at the Tap Room in Patchogue!“

“First time here. Made reservations. Table was ready. Bar is very small. Food was good. Service was excellent. Had the special flounder fillet with shrimp. It was good. Fish was ok. Rice balls were delicious. Restaurant is in a house. Very quaint.“

“Went here for brunch today for first time. Friendly staff!! Atmosphere was great! Our waiter was very friendly made us feel good from start to finish. Food was very good! Thank you for being the great place we hoped for. Our waiter was Danyeal, very nice young man!!!“

“There were two cute pillows thoughtfully placed on the chair, and the restaurant was very clean. It is highly recommended for those who like sweet food to try the tomato fat beef scrambled eggs! ! ! Highly recommended by this Shanghainese! ! ! Fellow Northeasterners said that the pickled cabbage and white meat are particularly authentic. The warm service from the landlady really makes me feel like I have returned to China... I really love Jude Building???“

“Just wanted to share that this is one of my favorite spots to eat & have a few cocktails. The food is always incredible and the staff are attentive & friendly. I’ve eaten here several times and have loved it each time.“

“Was my first time there for a party. Food and service were both excellent. My husband and I will definitely return soon!“

“Catch Oyster Bar hits that sweet spot — cozy, unpretentious, and always buzzing with good energy. Their martinis are dangerously good, the fries are perfection, and the blackened tuna wrap? Fresh, bold, and downright addictive.

It’s the kind of spot that wins over everyone — from the preppy Williamsburg crowd to the shee-shee Hamptonites. Easygoing vibe, great food, and a bar that knows what it’s doing.

Highly recommended — one of those rare places that feels like both a local favorite and a weekend escape. GO!“

“The best Italian around from the best family in the business! It was so nice to dine here again after quite some time and it was even better than I remembered!“

“Food was absolutely fantastic tonight. Actually never had a bad meal here. Worth the price. Service was great too.“

“Hı we had great ıftar thanks for good food“

“First time here. We came for the soup dumplings and they were great. Great flavor and a nice selection to choose from. We tried crab and pork soup dumpling as well as lobster soup dumplings. We also ordered the spring rolls pretty good as well as the Singapore Mei Fun which had a great curry flavor and a nice spiciness though it was on the small side for an entree. The restaurant was very small. It had 4 two person tables and 2 large picnic tables with benches that could sit 6 people. Service was not the best and staff not that friendly. Once served they never came to see if you needed something or how was the food.“

“So so so so good! Don’t miss the Crunchy Herb Salad, Burger Bao, Crushed Cucumber and Sesame Noodz. Everything was so fresh and made from scratch. The flavors were 10/10. The prices were super fair for the portions and quality. Service was fast and staff is so friendly. I wanna try the rice bowl next time!“

“Love this place! Such a homely feel and the food reminds you of a delicious home cooked meal. I suggest it to anyone and everyone who wants to eat great Cypriot cuisine and support a local restaurant!!“

“Visiting from Australia this was our FAVOURITE bar. Outstanding friendly service, Staff went above & beyond. Great selection of food & Drinks. Awesome atmosphere . Two of the sweetest waitresses with the brightest smiles🥰“

“Tiger Lily Cafe is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of good vibes. Their menu offers a fantastic selection of delicious and healthy options, making it easy to enjoy a meal that’s both satisfying and nourishing. Owners Lisa and Kelly are an incredible duo—so welcoming and friendly that you feel like part of the family the moment you walk in. Their passion for the cafe and their customers truly shines through. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy more of what this wonderful spot has to offer! Highly recommend!“

“I’ve ordered from this place a couple of times now, and the food has been amazing every time! Super flavorful, fresh, and just the right spice level. They took great care of us when we ordered.

Highly recommend if you’re craving some delicious Indian food!“

“We had a catered party yesterday, with several recommendations to use Tony's Pizza. The food was delivered and set up for us. It was piping hot, had very generous portions, and most importantly delicious! Luigi was super friendly at the pizzeria, and great to work with for the follow-up. Thank you guys, for helping my son's 21st birthday be a huge success! The Sitler Family.“

“Po Boy is always a fantastic place to meet up with friends. They have large tables and tasty drinks for every palate! Anytime my husband and I go with a new friend they’re impressed with the flavor of the ciders and the quality of the beers. I’d recommend to anyone and everyone.“

“Love the food. Service and atmosphere.“

“Breakfast is our favorite meal and we eat out every morning. Due to an early morning doctor appointment, we bumped into Buttermilk’s Kitchen. Great vibe as soon as you walk in….friendly and cheerful staff, nice decor, immediate service. I had the “The ‘Ol Barnyard”…..the sausage gravy was excellent with big chunks of sausage and super flavorful…..probably the best I’ve had here in NY and most of the South!!! The bacon was high quality and very tasty. My perfect over easy eggs were so fresh (yes, I can taste the freshness and quality just by having a bite of the whites!). My husband had a “Create Your Own Omelette” and declared that is was a “work of art” (I was offended because I make a darn good omelette and he never said that to me!) We were concerned about the “hash browns” because that usually means just cubed and fried potatoes, so we were very pleasantly surprised at the delicious shredded and seasoned, crispy but soft hash browns. Our regular coffee was good and hot, and they offer several “craft” coffee options. The Banana Foster French toast looked delectable! The lunch menu looks good, as well. We’ll definitely be back.“

“My wife and I went in to give this place a try and were very pleasantly surprised. The service was very good, the restaurant is neat and clean. The FOOD is exceptional. We have been back a few times and we are always trying different meals with the same result… absolutely delicious.“

“My new favorite place in Port Jeff! Food is delicious, staff are great!! I used to manage an Italian restaurant in Manhattan, I tend to scrutinize restaurants, 2 thumbs up for Pasta Pasta, say it again!!! 😋 🍽 🍷“

“What a delicious meal. Drinks were strong, service was superb. We can’t wait to come back.“

“The food and the service are always well above average“

“I have loved everything I have eaten here. The only thing I am not a fan of is the pizza. Staff makes you feel like family. The dinning room is small yet spacious. Every time we eat there we end up talking to other tables. I drive quite a distance to eat here. If you go you have to try the baked clams. They only serve cherry stone clams. So so good.

Parking: Medium sized lot“

“Chocolate Chip Cookies with the Chips on Top! I always buy those because I LOVE those!“

“Rolling Smoke is the best BBQ hands down. The brisket melts, the ribs are meaty and tender and the burnt ends are delicious. Don’t forget the home made potato chips and coleslaw, which are always fresh and a perfect compliment. As good as the food is, owners Keri and Rich are even better people. They are passionate about their food and the nicest owners of any business you’ll ever meet. We are lucky to have world class BBQ and such nice business neighbors right in our back yard. Thanks guys“

“Best Asian Fusion around!!! Highly recommend! Lovely people own it and the food is super fresh and delicious!!“

“It’s Tuesday night I just left there speaking to Frank. My name is Thomas Kos. I’ve said this numerous times I believe since I moved to this area there’s no sense of even going anywhere else I’m a big pizza person the Sicilian in the regular or some of the best I’ve ever had the chicken bacon ranch is probably the best slice of pizza I ever had in my 56 years. The people are kind the workers are great it’s just no need to go anywhere else. Great deal on Tuesday and the slices are always huge, I’m shocked sometimes the size of a slice. Guys thank you for everything. Always great going in there.“

“I love this place! Enjoy it!“

“Friendly good quality food and service“

“Call in an order for pick up of Bistec Encebollado Combo. It was ready in about 10 minutes. It was 2 pieces steak, sautéed onions, side salad, guacamole and tortillas served with rice and beans. It was well portioned priced and tasted absolutely delicious. Great customer service, Spot on! My new go to!“

“The Food, it's Great, the chef's and service are Spot On!“

“We often stop in for delicious Italian food, a pizza lunch and/or dinner. For my mother in laws 100th we decided to cater dinner at home. Most who know us know how we love to cook, and eat, but it sure was terrific to spend time together, relax & enjoy, with limited clean up.
Food was delicious. Eggplant parm, Penne a la vodka, Chicken Marsala, yummy garlic knots, pasta with escarole & beans, fabulous!
When they found out we were celebrating mom's 100th they sent best wishes and complimentary cookies to have with our espresso & desserts.
Food delivered was warm and fresh. On time. Driver helped us set up.
Thank you Victor, Sal & O Sole Mio.“
