50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Schenectady

“You have to keep in mind that the people who are serving are not professional servers, and maybe have never waitered or waitressed before in their life, but everyone was very polite and strove to be extremely helpful. The food was delicious and the size portions were appropriate. The dining room is very nicely decorated. A great experience. We will go again.“

“Love this place!! Been going for over 3 yrs now..never disappoints! Charteuterie boards are awesome... 4 cheese fondue ..so yum... And highly recommend trying the Espresso Martini flight!!!“

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

“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 !“

“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.“

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

“Since Lent starts this week, I'm looking forward to having the cod or the seafood sampler on Fridays. Enjoy.😋😋“

“Stopped tonight and we enjoyed the whole experience right from the start. Our server, Audrey, was very pleasant, and the service was fantastic. We decided to have appetizers instead of a meal. We ordered bang, bang shrimp, Buffalo chicken egg rolls and Philly steak egg rolls. All three were exceptional. I’m having a hard time deciding which I liked the best. My husband thought the Philly steak egg rolls were the best. The Manager ( or owner, not sure which) stopped by our table at the request of our waitress. I thought that was really nice. We highly recommend Maxon’s and are looking forward to going again.“

“We made reservations by leaving a voice message, which we were called right back within an hour to confirm the reservation that we wanted and they were able to accommodate us. When we walked in, we were greeted by a very nice woman who brought us to our very comfortable booth, which we loved. Our server was Montana and I have to say she went above and beyond. Her service was top-notch and she should be recognized for that. She had a very bubbly personality, and she even sang me a birthday song. The food was extraordinary. The servings were absolutely huge. We were able to bring them home and put them in two Pyrex dishes that’s how much food there was. I feel like they gave us half a tray of eggplant. I mean it was a really big serving for everything I feel like that and itself having quality food and such a big quantity is really worth it, some places you pay these prices and you get very small portion where this was a whole next day dinner for our whole family. The only smallest thing we thought the breading for the eggplant and chicken parm was on the salty side but everything that didn’t have the breading was extraordinary. The tomato basil sauce was so good. The cavatelli was really good. Sauce was amazing. The bread was so fresh. I do think this is my favorite Italian restaurant in Rotterdam at this point.“

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

“Had dinner tonight with my bride. As always, great welcome from our host, server very pleasant and attentive. Enjoyed the cocktails. Food excellent, and served in a timely manner prior to us going to a show at Proctors. Definitely one of Schenectady’s finest restaurants! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

You will not meet nicer servers!
This is my third review, I changed my original 3 star (left 2 years ago to 5 star last year and now a 4 star, 40 minute wait for a soup.

“This weekend was our first visit to Scotti's upon recommendation, but it certainly will not be our last!! Service was great (thanks Nicole), food was delicious, atmosphere was light and family-like. Always talk to the people you sit next to on an airplane!! You never know who you'll meet and become friends with!!“

“Absolutely delicious, every single bite. The staff were extremely friendly and always ready to serve you, whether it be a coffee refill or asking for a side of mayo. The omeletts are perfectly made with every ingredient you order in each and every bite. The homemade corned beef hash is some of the best corned beef hash I've ever tasted. The physical restaurant itself is extremely clean and very well maintained. I have been to just about every Diner and Cafe in Schenectady and Albany County, as well as other states. This Cafe is definitely one of the best. Do not hesitate to give this Cafe a try!“

“We had a wonderful Mother’s Day brunch at perrecas!“

“Food and atmosphere both were great!“

“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“

“Best Bagels and Sandwiches in town!“

“Quick drink after dinner, great spot“

“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.“

“Awesome service and incredible food and drinks.“

“Good food , friendly workers , good prices“

“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!“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“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.“

“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!“

“We purchased food to go last evening. We were thoroughly impressed with the service and the food. Everything was fresh and plentiful. We were traveling through the area and will definitely return when we pass through again!“

“nice local Tavern. always friendly..“

“Very reasonable priced for high quality food. Excellent quick service.

We ordered boneless wings to start in sweet chili-
Our entrees were the chicken bruschetta, steak frites and chicken cutlet sandwich.

Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended and we will be back soon!“

“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.“

“My family came for dinner. The food was so delicious. Our service was excellent. I had my baby on my lap and he spilled my entire glass of water everywhere. The waitress immediately cleaned it up and moved his infant seat by the wood fire so it would dry. I was impressed with top notch service!“

“Food is always excellent and the service can't be beat.“

“Just had the Mac n cheese with brisket, I eat a lot of BBQ but this was the BEST I have ever had! Perfect blend of smoke and seasoning! Highly recommend!! And they gave us the last of the brisket for free! Good people!! 🐷“

“Luca’s is a staple in our house when it comes to wanting chicken wings, juicy and plenty of sauce. You can tell the blue cheese is homemade and I love it, as someone who doesn't even eat blue cheese. The pizza is also pretty good (coming from a jersey pizza gal)! Strombolis are hefty and they never skimp on ingredients. Lastly, their chicken caesar wrap is beautifully made and a nice lower carb/calorie option.“

“I’ve been going to pizza king since I can remember. I started going with my daughter who is now 32 was a baby & they were on State street. I followed him to Jay & it’s been years since I been there & stopped in today. The service is always great even though they don’t speak as fluent English as myself they still understand and are very efficient. The pizza was pretty much the same as it has always been which is GREAT ( I like my pizza a lil greasy so it was perfect) & the only thing I really didn’t like is the supply area where the napkins and lids and straws are kept. It was a bit dirty. I actually cleaned it up and wiped down the soda machine. ( I managed subway long ago & it’s a habit with ocd lol) and the tables weren’t wiped down when the customers that were in there left. They had a few customers but that’s stuff you have to keep up on. This isn’t to put them down at all but things have changed since John has passed def (my prayers to his family & friends & fellow patrons he was awesome). So get back to keeping supplies filled like straws of all sizes & napkins & wipe it down & no arguments from me and keep the bathrooms clean & with toilet paper too loll I’m sure it’s really rough in this location with all the transients however. Over all a 4 out of 5 stars and pizza is still great!!!“

“Food is always excellent and the service can't be beat.“

“This is my absolute favorite Chinese food spot in the area. I’ve tried various meals: shrimp lo mein, boneless bbq spareribs, chicken wings, egg rolls, pork fried rice, General tso chicken, sweet and sour chicken, all delicious and fresh! The people that work here are extremely friendly and kind. Portions are a great value for prices. Their homemade duck sauce is my favorite too!“

“We purchased food to go last evening. We were thoroughly impressed with the service and the food. Everything was fresh and plentiful. We were traveling through the area and will definitely return when we pass through again!“

“sorry I bothered you today I was looking for the Amazon driver.“

“excellent food and prices“

“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.“

“Visited for the first time yesterday and was blown away! The space is next level, the beer super delicious and the service was impeccable. 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.“

“It was late Saturday afternoon and I decided to treat myself. I ordered the house special fried rice and a pork egg roll. Deee-Licious! And it made me happy if that’s possible! To top it off my fortune was “Embrace the joy of simple pleasures this Saturday”. Wow.“

“My husband and I stopped in for lunch and had a wonderful experience! I had a corned beef and asked for it to be warm. It was perfect! -rye bread was warm but not heavily toasted, which I loved. He had Deluxe burger and was given a cup of soup to try. The soup was ground beef with tomato and was simple but amazing. You could tell that the ground beef was high-quality because it was so tender and flavorful. The fries were piping, hot, and the coleslaw was awesome.The place is decorated very cute and charming. We had the best lunch.“

“The food was very tasty but arrived cold so the waiter had to bring it back to the kitchen for further heating. My companion's meal was fine and I urged him to eat it while it was hot but unfortunately ny entree took so long to be returned to me, he had finished his meal and had to wait while I ate mine.“

“Great staff! Great food! Nice time.“

“serving staff was excellent with kids' service. The space allowed for movement, standing. Tables are spread apart. Was comfortable and friendly. Pizza was very good, crispy pan crust.“
