50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Mechanicville

“We were in the area last weekend for a motorcycle getaway. The Ugly Rooster came highly recommended by the folks at Active Ingredient Brewing, and it was within walking distance of our hotel. Super friendly wait staff and delicious, generous portions. Worth the wait if you don’t time it right and there’s a line; they have free coffee outside.“

“very delicious food, love the shrimp & lobster sauce and the sesame chicken platters.“

“I have been coming here for 25 years. My favorite is Antipasto and a Pepperoni Pizza, calzones. Always fresh, hot. Sometimes there is extra grease so make sure to have extra napkins. Owners are very nice and welcoming. There are a couple of booths to sit at. My order is always ready in 20 minutes. Always a good experience for me. Recommend.

Parking: The pizza shop is in a type of strip mall with a huge free parking lot. So plenty of spots.“

“Had a great breakfast there last week. Had to drive around the parking lot 3 times and wait about 15 minutes to get in but it was definitely worth the wait“

“Best food, best staff, great atmosphere. I eat here every Sunday“

“We shared a bowl of Pho with sliced beef rib eye that was absolutely delicious. We also had an order of the crispy spring rolls that are garnished with fantastic pickled daikon radish & carrot sticks & fresh cucumber slices. I would love more of the pickled vegetable garnish! The whole meal was perfect. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely go back!“

“Delicious and HOT food!! The greens and beans and lasagna as delicious! We will be back!!!“

“to the people commenting on the lack of ambiance...? i think it is fine. for me the music is "ambient" enough, along with the lovely wall mural, and photos showing what the food is....not to mention the collection of both holly AND "bolly"wood stars and starlets, adorning a back side wall. the dining area is always SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, and the bathroom shines. they keep the prices very reasonable, which is a HUUGE plus for me. the food is always great, fresh, and tasty, not to mention a lot healthier than the traditional american diet. staff is attentive. i never felt they "watch to see how many dishes you take", as someone suggested. they are likely making sure people get FRESH plates with every visit to the steam tables., since this is actually a restaurant/buffet health law...i have never ever, once felt like they wanted to "rush" me out. they are always very welcoming and accommodating.. AWESOME SPOT. thank you, clifton park "shalimar".“

“Food is wonderful. Wait staff very well informed. We always ask for Janelle as our Server. My wife loves the Duck recipes and the Escargot. We can’t wait for October fest. We are there every week for the month of October“

“We just celebrated our 2nd year Anniversary, our waitress Jackie went out of her way to make it special for us, also the staff there is great to and Milan came over wish us Happy Anniversary as well, can't wait to celebrate again there next year, absolutely love it.“

“We were surprised and delighted by how fresh the food was at this restaurant. We wandered in about 8 PM on a very slow night and yet our sashimi was absolutely fantastic and all our other dishes were beautifully presented. We would 100% return to this restaurant. It’s a hidden gem“

“We had a funeral June 28 2025 in Waterford and the day before the family decided on having a luncheon after the services. We didn’t think we would find a place and on Graduation weekend made the odds more against it, My husband Tom and Brother in Law Keith stopped in McGrieveys and Terry said he could accommodate us. ( even though we didn’t know how many people.). Terry went above and beyond taking orders, bartending, and bringing out the food. We Thank you Terry and McGrieveys staff for accommodating us on such short notice and a difficult day for our family. The Brown family“

“My experience was exceptional tonight in these days and times. When my order for Prime Rib was not cooked to order, they replaced it not only with the correct preferred doneness, but it was replaced in a timely manner and with a genuine desire to please me as a customer. Kudos to the manager that is in charge of the Prime Rib clientele - which is exceptional in the Clifton Park area. 👍“

“Great good and great beer!“

“Absolutely love the hometown feel“

“The Tavern has been in business a long time. Used to be called The Clam Steam Tavern. Was and maybe still is, a popular country music venue. My dad was a country and western singer and played there a lot in the 50's. Maybe even in the late 40's. A nostalgic band stand and dance floor is still there and looks like it is in use. The food is standard bar food but very good. I do not eat seafood however my wife does and really likes the clams. Enjoy eating on the outside porch. Will be back this summer.“

“We ordered two meals for take out . The absolutely best I have ever had ! Fresh vegetables , large portions . Definitely will be going back .“

“Great happy hour spot. Don't arrive during happy hour for a dinner table without a reservation on a weekend night. High tops are seated for dinner guests only when guests finally are done with the long happy hour.

Drink specials at happy hour are worth the trip but someone has to wait in line at the door at 4:30 for high top seating. Meeting people at happy hour is easy because seating is close and you can hear everyone's chatter.

Well staffed. Good service. Catering takeout is easy and consistent.

Parking: EV charging for a fee.“

“Great apps, amazing entrees, decent wine list, and omg those desserts! Our waiter was awesome. We shared the garlic bread and calamari, we all loved both. I had the veal parm, so good. For dessert I had a pistachio ricotta pie that was out of this world. Highly recommend checking Anthony’s out asap. Great new space too, I had only been to the original restaurant. Love the addition of the salad bar too!“

“Very good food and service. Also has gluten free options.“

“First time here with my family. Authentic Thai & Japanese Food, nice service with great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again soon 👍🥰🙏🥳“

“Always friendly service, great options on the menu (they make custom changes), happy hour specials, and they have a great event schedule! Don’t forget to come in for your birthday- wings or clams or n the house!!! When we go for a birthday celebration we always get deer off the menu and get drink specials as well!!! I would suggest the Eggplant stack but ask for the Lisa Special- pesto instead of marinara!!! It’s absolutely to die for!!!“

“My husband myself and my mother went there tonight to celebrate my birthday August 24. We’ve never been there before and I just want to say that the service was fantastic! The food was fantastic! Our waiter really outdid herself and we will definitely go there again.“

“Super food, Super help, Very friendly“

“We love the RB, going there, the music, etc. Food is very good, great pizza. Recently did take out of 2 melts, delicious. Couple things though... 1) really really irks me when anyone i'm paying doesnt say thanks, thank you, etc. It was take out, I even gave a nice tip. Say thank you - goes a long way. 2) fries were Ok, not great, pasty and just eh, 3) salad greens were disgusting. Inedible, tasted like they were in dirty water, and 4) parking lot was thrashed. this was sat, so cleanup from friday should've been done. Empty bottles, cans, etc. Gross. We'll go back, but it will be a bit.“

“Literally the best. You can get your food in 10minutes or 1hr. They’re so chill. Our server was Euclides Aristides, he’s on point, always checking, cleaning, bussing tables and being a waiter. 10/10“

“Great wings tonight & our waitress was a doll! Might make this a Wednesday "thing" for us! hahaha My only question was why the wings came with ranch instead of Bleu Cheese? But still, it was homemade, so no complaints..Just moreso curiosity! Definitely recommend!“

“I still can't believe I get cured from breast cancer after 2yrs with the help of Dr MOMOH I must confess is a life restorer, Follow him and order for cure in any kind of disease.“

“We had a retirement party for my husband in the banquet room downstairs. Highly recommend. Very bright, nicely decorated, private, and kid friendly. Joan their event coordinator was absolutely amazing from beginning planning to end. Great to work with. She made the evening so stress free. We hope to have more events in the banquet room.“

“We went to Norrine's for dinner last night and it's definitely a "do over"! I got the stacked fried haddock. It's out of this world! Our waitress Kathy was very accommodating and very funny. We never laughed so hard!Our entire dining party was impressed with everything. Kudos to the chef. We will be back! Five Star for sure!“

“Always excellent food, service and friendly too. Highly recommend you trying as it will become a fast favorite.“

“We used Ted’s for our work picnic and what a hit it was. Jon arrived on time, set up quickly and everyone enjoyed the custom menu he set up for us! Top tier communication as well as service and of course food. We can’t wait to have Ted’s back next year!!“

“Came in tonight for the first time I had the hot turkey. My boyfriend had the meatloaf dinner The food was absolutely amazing. The service was just as good Julie was awesome. We can’t wait to come back.“

My number one pizza place by far!“

“First time eating here, ordered breakfast to go and the food was so good! Cheap fast and delicious I’m happy I found out about here!“

“As a Diner Enthusiast, I can confidently say that this is a hidden gem. I've been to close to 100 diners and the food here rivals the best. The tables were filled with veterans and local regulars that know the waitress by name. I left with a full tummy and a smile on my face. More people should be coming here. Check out my diner reviews on social media AnotherDayAnotherDiner“

“I loved dining at Antipasto’s. We had fun talking to Steve one of the owners. It was cute, laid back and the food was delicious. The eggplant was made to perfection. I throughly appreciate all of the authentic Italian dishes that incorporate white beans. The variety of salads all have yummy veggies .. i can’t wait to return… this will sure be a regular stop for me when I’m Clifton Park..“

“Great pizza and wings, our go to in Clifton Park!! Highly recommend checking out Paulie's.“

“I have been here a few times and the service is great! The food is great and everyone is very friendly!“

“We’ve been coming here since we moved back to NY in 2017. Food is AMAZING! Servers are AMAZING! Margaritas rock.“

“The food was served cold and the smell in the restaurant was not fresh. The food is like a Chinese buffet style and the attitude of the host is not welcome! 1 ⭐️ out of 10.....not recommended“

“Not your “ average “ Chinese restaurant. Authentic dishes, super knowledgeable staff and a killer background music playlist. Honestly I can’t recommend the food enough!“

“Great time coming for my 32nd birthday! They have a great staff, fast service. We were here during off peak hours but Bentley’s is a popular spot!!“
