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.“

“Just love Glenn Wayne donuts since I discovered them last year. Bought 2 dozen on Sunday to bring to a family picnic and they were a big hit!“

“I haven't eaten here in months, I took my nieces to check it out. The food was fresh and delicious as I remember. My nieces loved the food and commented how tasty the chicken kebabs were. Better alternative to Chipotle especially if you love Mediterranean food. I highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

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

“What a spectacular hidden gem of a restaurant! I'll go anywhere for a good duck breast, this place absolutely delivered 110%. Right amount of char, the seasoning, and it was cooked to perfection. Smoked salmon and burrata apps were delicious. We couldn't be happier with the very attentive service, quaint atmosphere - and the food was really on point for such an unassuming location. Also, the hot rice pudding with golden raisins was fantastic, as close to grandmas recipe as I can remember coming across! Keep up the spectacular work!“

“Only went there once but highly recommend this place, tons of vegan options, kind worker's, wonderful atmosphere & great food. Me & my husband definitely will be back.“

“Mo is amazing! Such great energy in here! The food is fantastic and she let me play her acoustic guitar in the dining room. Highly recommend. Thanks Mo! Let's drop some Prince Buster next time! 😎 🇯🇲“

“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 ✨“

“Usually come here to get our fix for soup dumplings and Chinese Cuisine in suffolk county. Everything tastes good as always and service is decent, depending on how busy it gets. Depending on the time of day, there could be a wait to get a table. But once you're seated and your order is taken, the food arrives pretty quickly.“

“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.“

“Amazing company with awesome food. Also they are incredibly generous with supporting our First Responders!!“

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

“Unassuming restaurant from the outside. Big mistake to drive on by. Just an exquisite meal we had. Wish I had a photo to share, but gobbled it down quick. Lovely meal from first welcome to last bite.“

“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.“

“Hı we had great ıftar thanks for good food“

“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!“

“Visited this restaurant after show at Bellport Playhouse. Very nice inside and the service was amazing. My husband enjoyed his Filet Mignon, he loved it! My meal on the other hand, chicken della casa was not good at all. The chicken was so bland I couldn't eat it. I should have sent back but didn't by that point I lost my appetite. I did order the dessert tiramisu which was really good. I would go back but next time I would try another dish.“

“Awesome food, service and efficiency! I had a lunch party catered by Chico’s in Setauket and everything was hot and ready upon arrival, neatly and carefully packaged. Would definitely order again for parties. Thank you to KK, who was so personable and easy to work with putting the catering order together.“

“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!!!“

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

“Lily’s is the BEST Chinese restaurant in Suffolk. It’s the only place that filled the void of flavor and freshness after moving here from Queens where there’s an abundance of amazing Chinese restaurants. We’re so glad we’ve discovered this gem.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“The food here was absolutely incredible. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The fries were golden and addictively good, and even the dessert was a standout, with a perfect mix of sweetness and texture that really tied the whole experience together.

What made it even better was the service. The staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. You could tell they cared about creating a great experience, not just serving food. Overall, it’s the kind of place you leave already thinking about your next visit! Hoping for a Nassau county location in the near future. 😉“

“A huge thank you to Broadway Market for creating the most beautiful (and absolutely delicious) cake for my mom’s 60th birthday 🎂✨ It was truly the centerpiece of the night and made her celebration even more special.The design was stunning, and every detail was perfect you exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you for helping make such a meaningful milestone unforgettable 🩶🖤“

“WOW! You walk in and the ambience is tranquil and the restaurant made me feel like I was in a Soho village hipster hangout. Most importantly the food is just amazing, authentic and the service is genuine with the owners being as amazing as their food.“

“Great place to chill but they need to do something about the front bar. If its busy at all with patrons sitting at it, it takes forever to get your drinks. I recommend extending it with a section that doesn't have seats in front of it.“

“Love the food. Service and atmosphere.“

“Hands down the best pizza I’ve had in YEARS!!!! Brooklyn pizza was incredible the garlic bread option for the hero’s UNREAL! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! Even had an issue with the pizza when it was delivered they came right back with a fresh pie. Top notch customer service. Hard to come by these days. I hope they stick around for a while“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food! Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge fireplace and water views. The menu has something for everyone.“

“Allow me to tell you about this absolute magnificent restaurant. The atmosphere was exactly how I expected it, it was an experience. Even with their lowest spice level, they still have a kick to their food. Their food is also very filling and there's plenty to go around. The employees and people there know exactly what they're doing, how to cook, how to talk with people, they are the prime example of a 10/10 restaurant. I do not joke when I say this, this restaurant genuinely made me happy. Without this place, the world gets worse in my eyes.“

“So my go-to Thai place sadly closed..I saw this place online and it had great reviews, so we decided to try it and I'm so glad we did! First impression was that it was very clean, very welcoming and relaxing. It's on the smaller side maybe 6 tables. The woman who took our order was so sweet, gracious, and attentive. We ordered the mixed satay, samosa, and Indian pancake for apps..ALL AMAZING! For entrees we ordered the spicy basil chicken and I think it was called Bangkok chicken...absolutely delicious! Perfectly spicy, and crispy! Food came out pretty quickly but she brought out each app as it was done which I enjoy.
.and wasn't rushing out entrees everything was perfectly timed. Also got a thai ice tea which was great not overly sweet at all. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend checking them out!“

“best bbq ever from someone who grew up hating bbq!!!!“

“Had my bridal shower here and it was a dream! The food is delicious and the staff is wonderful. The catering manager Byron is a pleasure to work with and was so accommodating! Our guests can’t stop talking about how great the event was!“

“Absolutely amazing food. Wonderful service. I go there often I highly recommend it“

“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“

“Been going there for many years. Food is always great, service is too!“

“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!“
