13 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Owego

“Traveling home from a wedding in Columbus OH to home in Maine we pinned the halfway point to stop over. We discovered this gem of a restaurant of MJ's on the Susquehanna River in historic Owego, NY. We dined ohe deck by the river. We ate the butter lettuce pockets of vegetables and a Greek salad. DELICIOUS! Having been so sensible with our vegetarian supper we shared the pan cooked chocolate chip cookie with ice cream and caramel sauce. Great service, decor, funk factor, clean and good. We may live 8 hours away, but this dining experience makes it worth returning for. Plus there are plenty of interesting places to see in this part of NY.“

“WOW! I can’t say ENOUGH about this wonderful gem in Owego! The atmosphere is world class - sparkly chandeliers, sultry colors, elegant artwork - and it overlooks the Susquehanna River! On top of that- wonderful craft cocktails, curated wine list and fun selection of beers on tap! The shining star on top of all that!? The FOOD! We had a group of us and ordered the house bread & cajun calamari to start - delish! Entrees ranged from the signature French Onion Burger (the best burger I’ve EVER had- no contest ) to petite surf & turf. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the seafood sides were unique and delish! Ended the night with the Chef’s homemade Peanut Butter pie - it was so full of flavor but fluffy and airy you couldn’t even dream of it having any calories. A showstopper. RUN - don’t walk to this establishment. You won’t be disappointed!“

“This restaurant is just around the block from me. It was originally Gail's diner and is now owned by one is the ladies that worked there. The food is just as good if not better. The restaurant is way cleaner and the decor is very charming and I think better as I wasn't personally into sports. Way to go Jen! 😁“

“Great food and staff. Will definitely be back.“

“Simple menu, fast service, affordable, friendly staff, delightful atmosphere- the autumn bisque soup was delicious! I will definitely be back!“

“Tried for the first time tonight and was excellent! We got two combo meals, an extra egg roll and an order of crab rangoons for $40, which I thought was a very reasonable price. Also the crab rangoons were AMAZING. The best I’ve ever had. Restaurants never put enough filling in them, but these were huge and perfect! Lucky kitchen- please never change your crab rangoons🫶🏻“

“I love the staff! they're a great bunch always friendly and happy 😊 DON'T FORGET TO TIP!“

“Attended a softball tournament with my family and recommended the Blue Dolphin for after the games. Several parents of players also came to eat. I have to say I was disappointed in the dining experience. I have been there many times in the past if I was in the area but the physical appearance was rundown and uninviting. The food was not like I remember . Adequate but lacking in quality…I was somewhat embarrassed since I raved about how delicious it was from my past meals….of course prices were increased but my sandwich was cold and soggy…the rib special was just okay and the spaghetti tasted sweet and mushy meatballs. Ranch dressing tasted bad…my granddaughters had salads and chicken strips and refused to eat it. I won’t be recommending this diner or stop to eat . I am from NEPA and I will have to find someplace else to eat when traveling through area.. So sorry.“
