50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ocean Beach

“Walk off the ferry in Ocean Beach and walk into the best restaurant on the Great South Bay. The location, service, and food are unsurpassed. The Curry Shrimp is spiced to perfection. It is a generous portion, but you will want more. Lunch or dinner is a Five Star experience.“

“My favorite place to go every summer! Thank you for a delicious lunch and terrific afternoon! Love Matthew’s Seafood House.“

“Came here for Sunday of the holiday weekend. Great atmosphere and awesome service. There were two bartenders, both super friendly. The guy bartender was dressed in an awesome 4th costume, and made us the BEST rocket fuels. I would come again just for him. He made our experience amazing and was not only friendly but very accommodating. Come here!!!“

“On the advice of a friend who regularly visits Fire Island, our family of eight, including a four-year-old and an infant, had an amazing dinner experience at Albatross tonight. I was somewhat apprehensive because the restaurant's Google rating was lower than that of another restaurant where we had had a disappointing lunch the first day of our stay. So I wanted to write my five-star review as soon as possible.

Our positive experience began when we dropped by during the afternoon to get the hostess's advice on how to procure a table for eight people -- without a reservation! -- on a busy Saturday night. She told us that if we came before 6:00 they would probably be able to accommodate us.

This is exactly what happened. When we arrived we were immediately seated at a comfortable table near the window. The attentive waitstaff quickly took our drink orders and, shortly thereafter, our meal orders.

I was worried that our small children might become difficult while we ate two courses (starters and a main course). However, our server brought our starters quickly, and the main course soon after clearing our dishes from the first course. The timing was perfect!

The food was perfect, too. I enjoyed my New England clam chowder, one of the best versions I've tasted. The table shared top-notch oysters, steamers, fried calamari, and Buffalo wings. Our mains, which included grilled fish, linguine with white clam sauce, and penne with vodka source and grilled shrimp, were uniformly excellent, with quality ingredients and preparation. For example, the grilled broccoli that accompanied my barramundi was so flavorful that it transcended the norm for this standard vegetable.

With our meal we enjoyed a bottle of white wine at a fair price.

This review may sound too favorable to be true, but it accurately describes our experience. I recommend Albatross wholeheartedly.“

“Friendly accommodating staff. Beautiful water and sunset views. Food and service was great. The cocktails were even better.“

“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!“

“Staff, food, service, atmosphere and drinks are all stellar!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, and service. I highly recommend if you like this type of Asian cuisine. Not much for dine in, so this is mostly for take out and delivery. I’ve never seen this place not busy, so what does that tell you. Five stars all day. Try their Gyoza if you end up going. It is the best.“

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

“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!“

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

“The food was incredible and the staff were so kind and friendly! The Crunch Bao was so delicious that we went back for seconds. The S’mores Bao was the perfect way to end the meal, with a crispy bao, perfectly toasted marshmallow, and melted chocolate. Overall, we had a great experience and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!“

“THE BEAT SALAD (added shrimp & avocado) ! Holy HEAVENS! OH MY DAYS! I had to sit in the parking lot to chow down. Absolutely worth the wait. Super delicious. Honestly I forgot to use the salad dressing. That’s how yummy this is. Will be back! Thank you all!! #DELISH“

“Whether you want to order a pizza to take home , or eat in the dining room. Vinnie’s Mulberry is the spot.

Any meal I had there was excellent. The service is impeccable. The atmosphere is family oriented. So it is like having a hug with dinner. I like that appetizers, soup, salad, main meal are brought out in steps. That way you can enjoy the courses. This has been my favorite spot to eat since last summer. Had taken my family members there. Me and one of my good friends go there all the time. My first time there, they made me mocktails that I requested. They were great.

Go there with your family. There is something for everyone. You will have a nice time.“

“Off the hook! So stoked they are open again. Had a total feast tonight and look forward to returning. Dipa the owner is really friendly and the food is unbelievable. Thrilled not to have to drive far for good quality Indian food!“

“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.“

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

““Excellent service from Issac today at TGI Fridays. He was very friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. He made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel very welcome. Service like his is what makes people want to come back. Thank you, Issac, for such a great experience!”“

“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!“

“Everything was wonderful! We had a lovely luncheon!“

“We are from Illinois and came here to watch the bears game. Food was good. Service was awesome. Waitress and bartender were totally awesome. I believe there names were Lauren and shalean ?“

“update below: Went for a Disney bingo which was so fun but we ordered a special on the board (both the same) and we both got sick. I wrote and email expressing my concern , which they responded quickly and tried connecting on the phone but they dropped the ball and did not respond to my follow up call nor my follow up email week has gone by. It’s nice in there I would’ve considered returning.

Tim, the manager called again and we had a nice conversation that I much appreciated. Offered gift card which was very kind. Sometimes things happen, if I business is willing to make it right and show humility it’s a good business. I’ve updated this review in high hope of returning and having a good experience and updating to 5 stars!“

“This is THE place for great sushi and great service. The sushi is fresh, the fish is great, their avocado is ripe and the people are amazing. I travel 15 miles to get here and every time it's been great food and amazing service. Don't know why I've waited so long to write a review but I hope they get the recognition they deserve. I look forward to coming back every time.“

“I had my daughter’s Jack & Jill Baby Shower there on Saturday 7/25/26 at the Bay Shore location.
105 people attended , and I have to say Mike Grilli did a phenomenal job taking care of anything we needed during the party and while we were setting the room up. He and his crew were eager to help!
He asked us often is everything OK and if we needed anything let him know. Also his staff/crew were awesome! We got a lot of compliments on the quality and taste of the food! The food was delicious!! And, they kept it coming! The variety of beers, wines, vodka seltzers, hard ciders, vodka for simple mixed drinks and a surprisingly good bourbon (and rye whiskey) really seemed to please everyone. I would definitely have another party there and recommend to friends & family!
Thank you Mike for a great party!!“

“Nice experience, I can say that this was a pleasurable experience!“

“This is my favorite place for a pint. The Guiness is always poured just right, the menu is great. It is small, but if you want to go to dinner where you can actually hear the company you are out with its perfect for that. The server Joe is always so nice, and makes it a pleasure to go to even when we have not visited in a while.“

“the worker/owner was very chill made my day with a conversation 🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“The food from the pizza place and the market is outstanding and never boring over at the market. You can find different meals and different specials!“

“Today I came to visit and have a quick bite! The burger was phenomenal! And what made the burger even better was the outstanding service from Thomas! His energy and attentiveness makes me want to come back! I live in Huntington but would come back just for the service alone! Thank you Peter Pan for a great early dinner!“

The egg roll was fresh and tasted great, not a lot of oil was used unlike other restaurants. If you're in the patchogue area and like some good chinese food please give this place a try you won't regret it. Also service was great, nice and friendly. Keep up the good work.“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Del Fuego! The food was delicious from start to finish, and the drinks were just as good — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The entire staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming the whole night. You can really tell they care about their customers and creating a great atmosphere. The manager also went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Outstanding service, great vibes, and excellent food and drinks. Can’t wait to come back“
