50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near East Islip

“I have had Isabella’s pizza and hero’s before but never a pasta dinner. Now I know why. I did not enjoy it at all. I ordered lasagne with chicken parmagian and meatballs. The lasagne was mostly chicken, hardly any lasagne. The meat balls were good. I was’nt to crazy about the sauce. I will still get pizza from there but not a dinner.“

“It was my first time there. My parents have been there before and suggested we stop for a bite! We tried about five different slices! OMG....the deep dish with pepperoni was AMAZING!! I decided to order a whole tray and take it home! We stopped by around 2:30. They didn't have any table service, so you ordered and brought it to your table. We didn't wait long for our food. The service was friendly. We will be back!! YUMMMMM“

“Came in just before closing because of a dance recital that ran late. We were welcomed and told don’t worry have a seat. The owner was patient, helpful, and polite. We had an amazing meal and everyone was very happy with their choices even our token vegan. I’m a huge ramen fan and this place is the real deal. From their house made broths and authentic ingredients it is all top shelf. Can’t recommend it highly enough.“

“Love the quaint and comfortable atmosphere. Owner was very attentive and had great conversation with us. Our waitress Ashlynn was so sweet, knowledgeable and efficient. Food was hot, fresh and delicious. 10/10 and we will definitely be back!“

“I was greeted by the most pleasant, professional young lady named Ayanna. She immediately brought us to the table of our choice and then inform us that she would also be our server. She did not leave until she informed us of menu options that she thought we might be interested in and asked us if there was anything that we needed right away. When I told her to give us a little bit of time, she pleasantly agreed and did hesitate to frequently check on us to see if she could meet our needs. I ordered a cocktail for myself and a drink for my son, who accompanied me, and we placed our dinner order. Our food was served promptly and it was hot and delicious. Throughout dinner, she checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything that we needed. She also made pleasant conversation which I greatly appreciated as this was my first time at an Applebee’s location. She has gained you a customer for life. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful, but Ayanna definitely may be experience worthwhile.“

“Holy smokes…literally! Dare I say the best BBQ I’ve ever had in New York? I’ve had ridiculous BBQ all over the country. This brisket is LEGIT!!! Maybe a top 2 or top 3 brisket I ever had. Passed the tug test with flying colors! If I had to nitpick anything it would only be a slight lack of a smoke ring? But the smoky flavor was definitely there and juicy AF! The ownership is amazing and super friendly! Your life will only be better after eating here. Y’all need this BBQ like now! Do it 🤌🏻👊🏻“

“This is my first time ordering food from Fat Boys Burrito for my meetings (grilled chicken burritos, bang ban shrimp tacos, guacamole & chips). Their food is absolutely delicious. The variety of dishes offered, quality service and presentation is exceptional! I will definitely be ordering again. Thanks Tony and team!“

“Always the best, food is delicious and very consistent, the staff is exceptional.“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“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???“

“Yokohama is a neighborhood Gem!!! Jen and Tony are always there to help and greet you with a smile.. The serving team are so friendly and helpful.

“I had the best experience with empanadas last week at the Grove City Food Truck Friday event. As a food truck owner myself I know when food is made with love and made authenticity. This food truck is taking me back to my childhood memories. The flavor of the food on this truck is absolutely amazing. My husband and I were absolutely mind blown. If you see this truck and it has a line it’s worth the wait. Don’t pass it up mis amores it’s truly amazingggggg 🫶🏼🩷🤤“

“I want to start by saying the buffalo chicken egg rolls are the best and I mean THE BEST Buffalo chicken egg rolls I have ever had. I got garlic parm wings as my main and they were also delicious. Came on a weekend and it was very busy with live music so make reservations!“

“Been good since the restaurant was across the street. Fabulous.“

“The restaurant food and service was very good. However, no one likes to be served a martini in a champagne glass. It’s like drinking out of a bowl of soup. You should serve your martinis in the proper glasses.“

“Very satisfied with my dinner here. High quality fish and amazing service. Food was top tied. Very good experience, highly recommend this restaurant.“

“5/5 stars! We had an awesome experience at this place! Amazing food & cute yummy cocktails! This is my new go to spot!“

“Dinner was excellent! Extensive menu. Ordered from the pasta section of the menu gnocchi a la vodka with melted mozzarella on top. It was delicious. There was an unprinted kids menu that included good items like spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, chicken fingers with fries, pizza, etc on the night we went. Chose the spaghetti and meatballs and it came with a large bowl of spaghetti and two giant meatballs. My portion was huge too. They were all about service. Very friendly and attentive team members. The restaurant was very busy, but the food came out relatively quickly and very hot.

The only reason I gave the atmosphere four rather than five star rating is because the front door area was so crowded and congested when we arrived that we couldn't get through the dense and unorganized crowd to figure out where the hosts and hostesses were to request a table. We had never been there before so we had no idea if that was a line for a table or takeout. Appears the front door has a take out order counter or area there. There was a back side door that we ended up using and found some hosts in the middle of the restaurant to ask for a table. To our pleasant surprise there was table readily available for us on the patio!“

“only complaint was how busy it was and I can totally understand why. everything was amazing steaks and italian food alike. I'm super picky about my food and I was shocked how great everything was. I live an hour away and am already planning my next visit back. my new favorite restaurant. highly recommend“

“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.“

“Right Coast Taqueria provided our lunch for our Teacher Appreciation week in Smithtown. The faculty raved about the food and presentation!! They accommodated food allergies. Great business to work with!!“

“Everything ordered was delicious. We were not rushed; our server was excellent. The food was perfect and serving sizes large. We were there to celebrate birthdays, and they even gifted a small bottle of prosecco. We plan on returning soon and have told family/friends about our dinner. It is a wonderful, homey restaurant and well worth it.“

“Great cozy little place with the greatest staff and good food. It’s a must try“

“My Husband and I stumble across this place tonight and couldn’t be happier about it! From the moment we walked through the door on a busy Saturday night at 7:00pm we walk in simply based on a great name! The hostess Deanna was lovely and welcoming we were able to sit right away! The food was absolutely amazing and so were the drinks!! But the star of the show was the staff our waitress Emily was the best we have ever had! Just the right amount of attentive that we never looked for her and always felt taking care up. The busser also did an amazing job never a dirty plate on our table. We go out alot and I can’t remember the last time a restaurant covered it all flawlessly Service drinks and food. We have already texted friend excited to bring them here! Can’t wait to come back keep up the amazing work!“

“Fabulous food, Great staff. ����������“

“Great service, great food and crowd“

“My favorite local pizza place! Pizza is always cooked perfectly and never had an issue here. Their sauce is delicious and it goes great with a calzone or garlic knot. The staff treats you like family and cares about the quality of their food. Will be coming back for years!“

“Sakura is a hidden gem and hands down my favorite sushi spot in the Hauppauge/Smithtown area. It’s a small, family owned restaurant, and Maggie and her husband go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. They’re always so kind and attentive, which adds a personal touch you don’t often find.

The food here is incredible. Every dish is packed with flavor and always fresh. My absolute favorite is the shumai soup it’s my go to comfort food. Their torched rolls are consistently amazing, and when I’m looking for something on the lighter side, the diet roll is a great low-carb option.

Also worth mentioning: the fried rice is generous and perfect for sharing, and the crab salad is a must-try so refreshing and flavorful.
I come here for the quality of the food. If you’re in the area and love sushi, Sakura is a must-try.“

“One of our favorite pizzerias. Love all the options. Pizzas and salads are the best around!“

“Just left Great South Bay Brewery. You gotta check this place out. It's in this warehouse set back from 5th Avenue, kinda unexpected, but that's what makes it so cool. The vibe inside is awesome, really chill, but still feels pro.

And the staff? Seriously top-notch. Everyone there is just so good at what they do, super laid-back but on it. Also above and beyond helpful. I had a flat tire right as I was leaving, and one of the bartenders, I think his name was Mark, saw me struggling. He came right out, no hesitation, and helped me get my spare on.

The crowd there is great too, a real mix of people, which just shows how vibrant Bay Shore is. And the beer, oh man, just a huge variety of nothing but high quality choices. And don't sleep on the food! I was honestly shocked at how good it was, way better than your typical brewery grub.

It's just an incredibly impressive operation all around.“

“Everything that my family have eaten from this amazing place has been delicious! Only one more item left to try which gives us a reason to go back ! Then plan to do a lot of replete orders.“

“Best poké bowl I have ever had! Super amazing waiter and our food couldn’t have been better. Everything was served fresh and I will be recommending to all my friends. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing food great service“

“Fabulous lunch today!!! Excellent food and service!!!“
