50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Dayton

“I would like to share a public review of Vegan It IZ Eats, LLC. Where do I begin? I ordered a Scratch-Made Mushroom and Black Bean Patty, Spring Mix, Smoked Coconut, Signature Sauce, Onion Crunch, Pickles, Tomatoes w/House Chips, and it was exceptionally delicious. Everything was fresh, and it was evident that it was made with love. As someone who rarely eats out due to a preference for preparing fresh meals, Ms. Rhea has undoubtedly changed my perspective. I intend to order from her establishment once a month. That sandwich certainly deserves recognition. If you’re in Dayton Ohio or surrounding areas please support this black owner business, you will definitely do the happy dance while eating .“

“I got the Tony and it was excellent. The menu is limited, might want to expand sandwich choices even just using different combinations of the same meats / cheeses and toppings. Sides and salads are limited, again might want to look at expanding. The grocery concept, I get it biggest complaint of downtown residents is lack of a grocery store. There selection is limited and didnt look like they covered the basics. I would either get in or out of thar business and maybe focus on being a sandwich shop.“

“Had heard great things about the Vegan options that Flavors offered and boy was I not disappointed. The man at the counter went over the menu in detail pointing out the vegan options. I got the Hummus bake and it was delicious. The chips, salsa and garlic sauce was outstanding. I will be back. Great food, great service at a very reasonable price and made to order VEGAN style.“

“Ok so we’ve dined at Old Scratch Troy location about 6 times since it’s opened. Waited a bit to give them time to really get in their groove. While I do recommend the place. Pizza is good, staff is nice (especially Amanda at the bar) and shareables are tasty. That said I would like to see the food’s taste be a little more consistent. My favorite dish is the fire roasted cauliflower but sadly it hasn’t been prepared the same way twice with the last two times it was barely seasoned at all once it was almost raw. Hopefully as training continues they will fix that issue.“

“Stopped in Tuesday. Service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend.“

“A great team of employees led by great guys! The quality is top notch, always clean!“

“Our favorite restaurant in downtown Dayton. Like the atmosphere, the people, and the food! Guacamole was delicious as usual. Enchiladas verdes were out of this world good. Meghan was wonderful as a server. And finally, thank you for our favorite seats at the chef’s counter. Love watching everyone cook! We will be back after the new year. 😊“

“Nice clean restaurant. Food tastes great. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter & I went here for brunch. It was hands down the best brunch I've ever consumed in my life!“

“The restaurant is so cute, eclectic, and so clean!

Our server tonight was Jamie, and she was damn near the best server I’ve ever had! Her recommendations were spot on, her hospitality was unmatched, and it was a wonderful experience.

I went with some coworkers, and we all tried different things, and we shared 3 appetizers. EVERYTHING we tried was so yummy

I will be coming back with friends, and am so glad I found this little gem!

If you stop by, make sure to ask for Jamie if she’s serving—or a drink recommendation if she’s your bartender!“

“My son brought me here today for an early Mother’s Day. The atmosphere was beautiful and our waitress was helpful with our lunch selections. The chicken and waffles were so good! I highly recommend this place!“

“My friend lives off 3rd Street and said she had fabulous food here. When I pulled up I wasn't sure what I was walking into but have been there almost every week since my first time a few months ago. Great food, really good service and you get your food quick! And did I mention the prices! Wow so well priced. Great quesadillas, great burritos and out of this world salsa. Try them, you will not be sorry. In case you didn't realize, I highly recommend this amazing little family run restaurant.“

“This was some of the best food and drinks I have ever had. I have been a big foodie my whole life and recently became a vegetarian. Since then, I have been struggling with finding dishes I truly love, especially when eating out. Well, we went to Meadowlark for the first time tonight and they blew it out of the water! The drinks were tasty, the food was delicious and the service was amazing!! We will definitely be back again soon!!“

“CoCo's Bistro provided an amazing atmosphere, with a vibe in music from all over the eras. Their versitle variety of dishes and flavors, makes for an occasion - whether lunch or a fiestive dinner on a Saturday night, this place delivers with high energy and an inviting venue.“

“It's the best place to eat brunch! a lot of gluten free options. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to be kind! 5 stars!“

“We had lunch on Saturday and as usual all of our meals were delicious! Our server Karugu was fantastic!! Friendly, efficient, quick to refill our drinks with a great smile! We started off with pretzel bites, hot and delicious! Started off with cups of gumbo, perfect on a cold rainy day! Great soup loaded with shrimp, chicken and sausage. Then the 4 of us had deluxe pizza, a tuna melt, chicken quesadilla and the Italian sub. Everything was great. The pizza crust was crispy and light. Perfect!“

“P.F. Changs is my go to after thrift shopping in Centerville! I start off with lettuce wraps, which are just divine! My main meal was sesame chicken and is one of my favorites! A visit to PF Changs must include The Great Wall of Chocolate Cake!!!! The atmosphere is wonderful! Our server, Chris Howard, was very knowledgeable and met our needs before we had to ask! Check them out, you won't be disappointed!“

“Delicious food! Friendly staff! Highly recommend!“

“Great food and great service. My only complaint is that some of the tables are crammed together. It was awkward on Valentine's weekend as the tables were so close in the area I was sat that it felt like we were sitting at a table with strangers. One side was a single long bench and I was maybe two feet from someone else. It was impossible not to overhear all the conversations. Not the atmosphere you want for this occasion.“

“Stumbled upon Thai Table today and we have a new favorite Thai restaurant! Beautiful decor. Friendly owners and staff and the food is delicious! Thank you so much! 😍“

“Amazing service. My wife and I end every Oregon District trip there. Whoever books the music acts deserves a raise. We have probably been there 20 times, and not once have I seen a bad band.“

“Purely Sweet Bakery is amazing! This is the best gluten free and dairy free bakery. We love the cinnamon rolls, donuts, cupcakes, cookies, coffee cake (my fave) and have had 2 custom order cakes for birthdays. I’m so happy we found Purely Sweet!“

“Oh my heavens.. I tried this DELICIOUS food truck today at Montgomery County Job Fair. I purchased the soul roll and fries. They are so wonderful!! Thank you for being here today!!“

“BEST Steak, (any cut) liver and onions are super good!! Stewed tomatoes 🍅 best I’ve ever had.. keep up the wonderful job!!!- one of our FAVORITE restaurants… raw oysters are tasty as well..:“

“This location was amazing tonight even though they was busy and it was a bit crowded the service was excellent the food was really good and fast our server stayed on top of things and I noticed all of the servers were on top of things with the tables with refills and making sure everything was a great experience. I got this stuffed chicken marsala and my boyfriend got the breaded shrimp with breaded onions and breaded green bell peppers it was right next to the appetizers and it was really good and I know that because I tried his food LOL my son got the pizza with french fries and he was happy with the pizza it was really cheesy in the portion was excellent for the kids menu and a great price at that“

“This spot is TOP TIER. Worth every penny!!!!!!!“

“Good little ice cream shop. The cookie sundae was yummy! Nice friendly service. Visiting from Indiana“

“The food was sooooo good and filling. Service was amazing and loved the classical music. I got the apple pancake and I'm so happy I did. I've never had anything like that before and it was so worth it. The crepes are huge and delicious. The pancakes fluffy and delicious. Everything served was worth every cent we paid. We will definitely be back.“

“Amazing food and service! Sky Asian is our favorite Asian restaurant in the Dayton area!“

“LOVE the apple cider ones, we met him at the learning farm last year and came back in hopes he would be there again, and he was!! We tried the strawberry lemonade and it was fantastic but I am going to have to hunt down the apple cider ones 😂“

“They’re giving back to their community in a tremendous way. That’s honorable and worthy of recognition.“

“I just Love this place! I opened this restaurant when it was Mr. Lees! So many great memories! I love Shen the owner that worked there when I was there. He ended up buying the place Keeping the menu and great vibe, Renaming it Shens! Hard work does pay off! Always a warm welcome! Great to see you and Casey! I tried the Grand Marnier Crispy chicken, OMG! I was scared to go try something new, it’s absolutely delicious! It has, strawberries🍓 Pinapples, 🥝 kiwis and 🍊 orange! Served over white rice! Instead of my usual Pad Thai, and 2 new rolls instead of my usual Spicy salmon. The Dragon 🐉 roll is fire just missing row. And the Sunset. Very great food! Beautiful atmosphere! Go here!“

“Normally I would highly recommend, this has always been our “go to “ for great Thai food. Tonight however was not a good experience. Ordered kaniesu only to be told they didn’t have the ingredients to make it. What? Whom ever was cooking tonight must of had a bad day. The pad Thai was the worst I’ve ever had here, hard to describe the flavor but it was definitely off. Just not the same as I’m used to getting. Vegetable fried rice was bad as well, tasted burnt and was definitely off. We will give this place one more try, and if it is like tonight we will not return. Very disappointing!“

“flatbread and tbone steak are amazing!! so nice of the manager, Kelly to stop by and make sure we were happy!! 💯recommend“

“Pho yummy at a great price!“

“Food is incredible, service is better. Their time management is great, decent amount of people ordering yet they got through all of the orders in a very timely manner, plus with a smile on their face! Food is great & very affordable, always noticing new additions to their menu to best suit customers. Dani took my order and was super friendly, looks very happy as she works! Jake, the GM, checked out my order and even went out of his way to ask about my experience while I was eating. Definitely recommend to anyone, incredible service & great experience!“

“we love CJ Chans!! After this craziness is over and you open back up I swear we're eating nothing but CJ Chans for a week!“

“One of my favorite spots for lunch. Always good, hot food and excellent service“

“This Pizza Hut location has made big improvements lately. Our pan pizzas have been perfect for two weeks in a row! Crisp crust on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside! The toppings have been great! The delivery drivers are super courteous and always on time! I don't think we will get pizza from anywhere else. Keep up the great work!“

“I wasn't sure where to pick up my order I ordered in advance and when I walked in I asked the woman at the counter and she seemed disgusted and annoyed by the fact that I wasn't sure that the food was sitting on a shelf behind me it was my first time there I was I supposed to know. And then was even more disgusted by the fact that I didn't know where to fill my cup up with the drink that I had ordered. I'm sorry I haven't been there before I apologize for that it'll probably be enough to keep me from going back“
