50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Schenectady

“The students and staff of Casola absolutely nailed Italy part 1. The service and food was fantastic. Make sure to bring your wine (a very nominal $5 corkage fee) to enjoy with dinner. Remember everything being done here is practice to make perfection in real world dining, trust in the process, bring attention an issue if needed, and be patient and understanding in the chance something comes up (like a river flooding a parking lot). We've now enjoyed 2 wonderful dinner services here (with Shannon, A+) and look forward to hopefully catching more reservations in the future!“

“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 !“

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

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

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“My husband and I have dined in and also gotten taken out. The food is delicious. We've had PHO and also their dinners with noodles or rice. The dinners have been excellent. The amount of food is plentiful. The server is excellent, he's friendly, efficient (he works very hard) and he is confident with his recommendations, he knows the menu and dishes really well. His recommendations have surpassed our expectations. He's probably the best waiter we've ever had. We don't eat out often, so when we do, we want the experience to be good, and PHO Vans does not disappoint. I highly recommend.“

“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.“

“The food was incredible. Great service, so friendly and welcoming. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Will definitely be traveling the hour distance to go again!“

“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.“

“Great food, great service. Love the back deck at the Schenectady location!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

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

“Best Bagels and Sandwiches in town!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“I have been to Scotti's a few times now. The food and service is absolutely amazing. I felt like family from walking into the door and the entire time while eating. The owner even stopped by the table a few times to check on how everything was going.

The food is exactly what you hope it would be with so many Italian restaurants in the area it is still hard to find one that delivers, and now the search is over. Huge portions, tasty, great drink menu, and the wait staff was very knowledgable.

Left overs tasted great even in the microwave a few days later. Great spot for an amazing dinner or even a nice cocktail if you're in the area.“

“Quick drink after dinner, great spot“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Food and atmosphere both were great!“

“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.“

“Took a road trip with my fiancé and ended up here. This place had the best burger either of us have had in a long time. Service was good and prices were honestly pretty low. Will definitely come back anytime I’m in this part of the state.“

“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!“

“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!! 🐷“

“Loved the crust but wasn't overwhelmed with the complete flavor of a slice with tomato. Didn't realize that it didn't have tomato sauce too though or I would've made another choice. Actually, there's so many options but it's a guess what many are and I don't eat meat. I'd try this spot again!“

“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!“

“excellent food and prices“

“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.“

“nice local Tavern. always friendly..“

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

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

“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.“

“I could not love the gluten-free cheese pizza more than I did. I am so picky when it comes to gluten-free crust, but this one was everything good. No complaints. Cheese was fantastic. This is the first time that I have gone to the restaurant since they had new owners, and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was very friendly and the pizza certainly did not disappoint. I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“Addendum: dined at the bar solo tonight and it was just as good. The service was quick and efficient. I repeated choices from the prior visit specifically the Caesar salad and the crabcake appetizer. Both were great, although the crabcakes were clearly overly salted, although it may have been the romulade. The check was presented quickly and overall and a great solo meal.

Our first time here. Early dinner seated promptly. A booth in back could not hear the casino noise. Taken care of by Terrance who did a great job. Checked in often requests handled promptly.

Entrees are in the mid 30’s and up. Salads in the high teens and sides in the teens as well.

A cosmopolitan was delivered made as requested. The warm rolls were superb and addictive! “Everything bagel” butter was perfect on the bread.

We had two salads two apps and a side. The chopped salad has great with kale and romaine as well as yellow beets apples and a maple vinaigrette. Wonderful cold and crisp. The wedge contained the usual plus onions. Rather than one large iceberg wedge there were multiple pieces of lettuce.

For dinner we had a shrimp cocktail…4 large shrimp (10-12 size I’d guess) with a cocktail sauce that could have been spicier. The shrimp were carefully de-shelled. The crab cake appetizer was perfect. Two large crab cakes served
On remoulade sauce. All crab, no filler. A slight bit oilier than I’d like but superb. We also share a ($12!) baked potato served with bacon butter and sour cream on the side. One small complaint-we were charged for shredded cheese, not requested nor were we told about the charge. Potato was great.

We passed on dessert. Note to Duke’s management-improve the dessert menu. Describe the items don’t just list them. Tell us something about the cheesecake or explain “hot chocolate cake”. The menu is boring and not enticing.

Overall wonderful and relaxing, albeit expensive! We will be back!“

“Best pizza in town, hands down.“

“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.“

“Great staff! Great food! Nice time.“
