50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Dayton

“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.“

“Great food and atmosphere, at reasonable prices. My husband and I enjoyed everything we ordered, and plan on going back soon.“

“Very different but excellent food and service“

“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. 😊“

“Originally from Buffalo NY, found it very difficult to find a pizza that even comes close to what I was used to. I've tried many pizzas across the Miami Valley and all I can say is that most were pretty bad, and a few ok but not much more. 2 places were halfway decent but those places went downhill. I finally tried Joe's Pizza last month and have to say, the Absolute Best in Miami Valley. It was the closest to Buffalo Style Pizza I ever had in Southwest Ohio. Told their Staff the same. I will definitely be going back there despite being a little drive from where I live. I would recommend Joe's Pizza to everyone, especially if you're looking for a quality pizza!!“

“excellent food and service“

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

“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.“

“I have been to this KPOT location several times. Every time I have had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food. Tonight we had an absolutely amazing server. AJ was very kind and provided exceptional service, which was so very appreciated after our 8 hour drive back home from visiting family. Honestly I don't know how KPOT keeps managing to go above and beyond our expectations each time we visit, but we are consistently leaving very pleased. Great job to the KPOT staff for being amazing at what they do 💜“

“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!“

“One of the best restaurants ever! The previous and current owners are just the best...like family. All food is always good; we always get the Korean dishes and service workers are so nice. Come and taste the food!“

“First time visiting and had a great experience. Cozy little gem hidden in Dayton. The food was great and the atmosphere was nostalgic.“

“Awesome service! Our server was phenomenal! Great food, and awesome atmosphere!“

“Pizza is always delicious, everyone is very nice and service is super fast!“

“Food was great. Real teff injera with authentic sides. Vegan gluten free options available.“

“We had not been at OE for over a year. Only 9 people in the bar on a Friday night at 7:00pm….no band. Good service, as always. A large Chicken Ranchero pizza was $22.00, and it was only so-so. I don’t know what is happening in the Oregon District.“

“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..:“

“Stopped in with my hubby today for breakfast, it was our first visit to George’s. Everything was phenomenal from the food to the service. We will certainly be back in the future!“

“Apps were delicious. One ordered spicy salmon and it came with no asparagus. Another ordered stir fry and it had no onions, carrots or red peppers. It had only one small piece of broccoli and mushrooms and it was cold. For dessert they didn’t have any banana pudding. Menu sounded great but the food didn’t match the description. Probably won’t go a second time.“

“I remember being a kid in the late 70s early 80s buying these pretzels every Friday at my elementary school... back then they were 10¢ each/ $1.00 for a whole lunch sized brown paper bag.💖💯“

“great vegan menu. food is amazing. the power was out while we were there and we were still accommodated and had fantastic service. the vegan chocolate cake is to die for!“

“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!!“

“ordered on door dash food was good. it made me want to go there. the staff was great as was the service, and the food was even better there piping hot . I will be back for more.“

“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.“

“We had our first visit to El Meson and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The entire restaurant is beautifully decorated and you can truly feel the culture and care that went into creating such a warm atmosphere. The moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Our waitress, Stasha (I apologize if I spelled her name wrong), was absolutely wonderful. She clearly knows her job very well. From the moment she came to our table, she made an instant connection with us and was incredibly kind and attentive. She even took time to talk with the kids, brought them toys, and surprised our son with birthday ice cream, which was such a thoughtful touch. She also knew a lot about the menu and the events they host on certain days and made several recommendations — and she was absolutely right about all of them. The food was incredible: flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. Everything we tried was spot on. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great service, amazing food, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend checking them out.“

“One of my favorite places! Delicious! Always fresh and flavorful! Customer service is GREAT!“

“Try the breakfast burrito, so good! Hidden gem“

“Good food. Broad menu. Great staff. Great family setting.“

“We went to Three Birds tonight and had one of the best meals I’ve had in a minute. The meatloaf and salmon were amazing. I’m pretty mad because their chicken wings ruined the level of good I’m accustomed to. Their dry rub chicken wing is the best I’ve ever had. If you haven’t been there. Do yourself a favor and go there tomorrow. Don’t order the chicken wings because I don’t want them to run out.“

“Best pizza and subs in 937 area code.“

“Tried for the first time…I got the bourbon chicken, cajun rice and spuds. Personally I feel like the chicken is a little too tough. You also must get the sauce on the side too for dipping or else it’s too bland…I feel like I would have liked the blackened chicken better. The star of the show though was the rice!! So delicious!! Potato’s were good. Could have been a bit more salted but other wise yummy. I will be back to try the blackened chicken and their yummy cajun rice.“

“The food came out hot and tasted really good, which was definitely the highlight of the visit. The restaurant was quite busy when we stopped in, and it seemed like the servers were handling a lot with a smaller staff. Because of that, the service was a little slower than usual, but the staff were still doing their best to keep things moving. Overall, I had a decent experience and understood the situation given how busy the place was. The hot, tasty food made the visit worthwhile, and I would give it another try.“

“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.“

“Second evening in a row we've DoorDashed your amazing food after working a 72 hour week. What a wonderful treat! My hubby is half Lebanese so I know how it's supposed to taste. I can't tell you enough how good the food is. My now go to place for comfort food. Made my daughter's 30th birthday a nice night. Thank you so much. Recommending to everyone. Keep up the fantastic work.“

“Every time I have been here (a lot), I have been impressed. The food is excellent & the service is great. I would & have recommended this place. My very favorite!!!“

“The place is clean, and our server was really friendly and nice. Since it’s a diner-style restaurant, it can be a little smoky, and your clothes might pick up a slight greasy smell. But honestly, the food was great!

We ordered the papaya salad, shrimp red curry, and chicken Pad Thai. Everything was tasty, although the dishes are on the sweeter side for me. Overall, we enjoyed the food and definitely would come back!“

“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 .“

“The breakfast bowl with chorizo is one of the most delicious things I ever ever eaten!“

“Happy to find delicious Thai food so close to home! I have been several times and they get it right every time. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming with fair prices.“

“Everything we ordered was absolutely delicous. We got an espresso martini, the baked brie, the brussel sprouts, and the salmon. I have never been so happy with a dining experience. Our waitress was kind, the atmosphere was calm and quiet with nice music. Well-priced, fantastic food!“

“Great food and excellent service. Jherri is the BEST!!“

“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!“

“Had never been there until Thursday. And I will definitely be back. Really good tacos“

“Delicious food (We had breakfast) and friendly service that made you feel like home.“

“Simply the best, most authentic Mexican food in Dayton, Ohio. There streak verde is amazing as are their soft tacos, burritos, Mexican grilled shrimp and Pork Carnitas. On the weekend, try their Mexican soups like Menudo, Goat Soup and Pezzoli. Their hot salsas and chips and house salsa are to die for. The staff is friendly and courteous, and the food is always excellent and for a great price. That is why they are have been rated "The Best of Dayton" by the community for years.“

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

“The wattress was amazing. The wine , food, atmosphere is exceptional. A party of 8 and everyone was extremely happy. Will visit again.“

“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 a baby shower at The Amber Rose today. The food was excellent, the service fantastic. They were very accommodating to our needs. So many compliments on the facility, and the food It was a great experience, and Joe and his staff did an excellent job“

“We frequent this location and really enjoy the pizza. My wife’s family has been eating Marion’s for decades! Service is always great, the employees are always smiling and nice. The pizza is always what we love, crispy crust and perfect amount of cheese and pepperoni.
I made a decision yesterday to add a steak sub to our order, big mistake. While Marion’s always hits the mark on pizza, the steak sub was, well, just not good. The “steak” is a perfectly rectangular piece of rubbery meat and nothing like steak you’d expect in a steak sub. Do yourself a favor and stick to the pizza and avoid the “steak” sub. Lesson learned.“
