50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Schenectady

“Had dinner last night at Johnny's and it was amazing. The food was delicious. Our waitress, Vanessa made our evening magical.“

“We absolutely loved our time at shaker! They were accommodating and even made mock tails for the people who didn’t want to drink!“

“While I expected to have Coal Fired Pizza, it wasn't available. That being said the lasagna was excellent, the meatballs had great flavor and you got 4 of them. The spaghetti carbonara was delicious and the penne ala vodka had a red pepper kick to it.

Over all the food was good. I just had a hankering for the pizza and when I saw it advertised on the window I was super excited... but quickly disappointed.“

“Not only does Grano have amazing food, but their customer service is also fantastic! I went there recently before a show at Proctors, and unfortunately the kitchen was a little behind, and we did not have enough time to eat. When leaving Proctors, our server was waiting outside the theater to give us our food to take home. They really went above and beyond. I will definitely be going back soon!“

“We had a delicious lunch at The Moon and River Cafe today. Reubens , Thai fries, beet salad and blueberry pie all vegan and kindly prepared and served by Richard as always. We have been there several times and will definitely be back !“

“Unbelievable atmosphere. Awesome Bartenders Drinks and the Food is Fantastic. You need to try this place!!!“

“This is hands down our family's go-to comfort food spot. The pho is authentic, fresh, and bursting with perfectly balanced flavor—especially the vegetable noodle soup with steamed tofu. The broth feels healing, and the tofu is always cooked to perfection. Their grilled meats and rice dishes are just as incredible—whether it's beef, shrimp, salmon, pork, or chicken, you can't go wrong. Even the wings and spring rolls are packed with flavor and generously portioned.
What truly sets this place apart is the service. The owners treat us like family every time we walk in. It's more than just a meal, it’s an experience of warmth, care, and delicious food that lasts me 2–3 meals. We always leave full, happy, and already planning our next visit.“

“Went here on Thursday September 26 2024 for dinner and drinks with two of my friends and the food was good and the staff were kind but only problem was that the drinks were long after we ordered them“

“Best collard greens I've ever had, pulled pork was awesome. Baked beans were tasty and I don't recommend trying the peach cobbler because you will be hooked for life“

“We enjoyed a delicious family meal tonight! The chicken was so tender and the flavor was delicious. Very generous portion - plenty for the four of us. And the best pita bread to accompany the dish. We added on some baklava for a sweet treat at the end and it was amazing! Thank you - we’ll be back soon.“

“I had my daughter’s baptism celebration at Canalis and I truly want to thank them for going above and beyond for our daughter’s special day. We rented out the banquet room and it was absolutely perfect. The food and service was exceptional. Thank you again Canalis. I highly recommend for any future event.“

“After enjoying their wings during the Wing Walk I decided to order myself dinner last night. I ordered fried chicken dinner. I had the leg and thigh and they were huge. My dinner came with candied yams, collard greens, potato salad, and a corn bread muffin. Everything was outstanding. I can’t believe I have never ordered from there prior to this. I will be ordering again and making this a staple from now on. Drop everything and order dinner tonight you won’t regret it!“

“Absolutely delicious every single time. Laid back artistic atmosphere, great people, the chefs do an amazing job. If you order medium steak you get a medium steak right on the money. Thank you Maxons for another great dinner for our family!“

“Food was amazing. Had so much food I left with dinner lol. Wonderful customer service and very friendly. The dining area was very clean. We will be back!“

“Best Bagels and Sandwiches in town!“

“Absolutely amazing, huge portions, amazing homemade pasta, great service!“

“Authentic Italian! Reminded me of eating in my Nona’s dining room! The meal was phenomenal starting with the delicious salad dressing, crusty Italian bread & eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti.“

“Hubby brought home food from Karam yesterday for the first time ever...we were blown away! Fresh and absolutely delicious!! So glad hubby works in Schenectady we’ll be regulars! YUM!“

“We are so happy we chose Stella for our daughter's Bridal Shower brunch. The private room was perfect for a small group; the service was wonderful; and every brunch option was absolutely delicious. The desserts were delectable too. A special thank you to Ali for coordinating every aspect of the event. We couldn't recommend you higher!“

“It's difficult to pinpoint our overall impression, as the food at this restaurant was truly excellent, especially the well-priced Wednesday burger special. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. However, the service experience was unfortunately quite frustrating. The wait for a table was significant, and the waiting staff appeared overwhelmed and disorganized. We waited over thirty minutes after being seated before anyone even approached us for a drink order or to bring water, a delay that felt prolonged even for a busy night. Seeing other tables not receive menus and witnessing several groups depart due to the extended waits suggested a need for better coordination among the team, even while acknowledging potential staffing shortages. The culinary quality is definitely there, but the service needs some attention“

“Got from grub hub on a whim. The rueben was really good. Great presentation even after delivery and it was hot and fresh when it got here and we are in Bellevue. We will definitely order again!“

“Was recommended to eat here by our hotel front desk. Pizza by the slice did not disappoint. Service was fast and was plenty of room for a party of 6. Great large NY style slices, and meat lovers deep dish. Will absolutely stop here again next time we come to Schenectady!“

“In town for a little bit just was driving by and saw New York rangers flying out front. I'm a rangers fan and the game was on at 7:00. I went in there at 6:30 sat at the bar bartender put on the anger game and was very attentive. Great service. I didn't ask his name but he handled the whole bar. Good people. No craziness. Ordered a Heineken onion rings which both were fantastic. Look I'm mostly interested in good servers and someone that's smiling and that's what I got. The bar stools were far enough apart where you weren't hitting shoulders or elbows with other people who's good nice hometown bar. I miss it. I live in Scottsdale most of the year and everything's a free-for-all. I don't care what bar you're in
Anyways, I can't say“

“Their customer service for catering was outstanding! Nikki and Kimmy went above and beyond and staff at pickup were equally as helpful. An "art" that seems rare these days. Every dish we ordered was delicious and disappeared quickly. Thanks again for a job well done! We'll be back.“

“Fav ramen ! Server good and delicious taste!“

“Awesome hometown feel of a place. Great trivia. They do tons of other events weekly too. Great beer. They do food trucks which is so neat. But make sure to check website to see if they are having food truck when you go or else they only will have beer. Nice area inside but in the summer and fall they have huge outdoor patio with tons of tables, chairs, fire pits etc. Amazing family place.“

“Went for the first time and I can say the food was very good! The shrimp and grits had really nice flavor and was a perfect portion size. The place is cute but a bit on the smaller side. The service was good but not great..about average. All in all a good experience here and I live close by so will be going back!“

“Love Love Love Lorenzo's! (518 Foodies card holders get 10% off). They have the BEST breakfast! The home fries are to die for! The chorizo egg and cheese is also delicious! Really, you can't go wrong.“

“Scottis Restaurant is outstanding. The Mussels Marinara Fra Diavolo is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked with a bold, spicy sauce. My wife loves the veal parm. Owner Guy is an excellent chef and a genuinely great person. Service is fast, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommend and will be back.“

“Their wanton soup has actual healing powers, I'm not even exaggerating. I don't care what illness you are suffering from, get the soup. It will cure you. Also they hands down have the best chinese food on the planet. Ive had friends stay with me from L.A. and they could not believe how good this food was. Just go here and be nice to the staff, this family has been serving Rotterdam for 30+ years. They deserve all the best.“

“First time ever!!!! Staff was incredible!!! Food was amazing ( Mac& Cheese with Chicken) The best I have ever had. Most of it came home with us. Definitely a very beautiful Irish establishment. Will definitely be coming back. Worth a 45 minute trip.“

“Quick drink after dinner, great spot“

“We absolutely loved our food. It was amazing. Eggplant fries were really good. One of the best spanakopita & Rueben. We all got stuff and split it. Was really good. I really liked our waitress, she was sweet with my son. I enjoy waitresses that make you feel really comfortable and she did. This will be our new breakfast spot.“

Sawyer was the most amazing, caring and fun-loving ambassador of Frog Alley. Can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend you stop in if you’re in the area.“

“great curries, summer rolls and pad thai. The Kaeng Pa was way too hot for me to eat, though. Be sure to ask how spicy the dishes are before ordering.“

“I'm really picky with Chinese food! I literally have like one or two spots! There was this place in Elmont, New York called GOLDEN WOK that was my #1. They was amazing and they closed down this place tastes exactly alike! I grew up loving there food! There chicken wings are AMAZING! I found my new #1 spot! 😁🤗“

“This is my favorite Chinese fast food place. The stuff I’ve had reminds me of China Town, the pork chow fun is particularly good. Great hot and sour soup and the golden chicken fingers are addicting. House special fried rice is everything. Very friendly staff and speedy, courteous delivery drivers. I feel like family ❤️“

“Came into town for a family reunion. We got back to the hotel and decided to go with Luca's. We were so glad we did! The Goodfella Sandwich and the Burpork Burger were amazing! We will definitely be coming back the next time we are in the area.“

“Ordered the 8oz filet. Cooked medium to perfection and so tender it melted in your mouth. The twice baked potato was excellent. Our server was sweet, and efficient. It was a really perfect dining experience. Pricey but you are also paying for the whole experience. Everything was top notch.“

“Never again the owner didn't give a shit . We didn't get what we ordered . Waitress didn't have a clue . The place was total Kaos what a joke . Owner called patrons a bunch of Karen's . They couldnt even handle coming around with a coffee pot .“
