50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Salem

“Our dinner tonight was truly amazing, the service was phenomenal, the food was exceptional, the pianist was amazing and our entire experience was truly special. See you again real soon.“

“If you’re on the hunt for mouthwatering, authentic barbecue, Roger That BBQ is a must-visit. From the moment you pull up to the location, the smoky aroma of slow-cooked meats draws you in like a magnet. This place is all about honoring the art of the smoker, and it shows in every bite. The brisket is phenomenal. The pulled pork melts in your mouth, and the ribs are fall-off-the-bone perfect. The Prime Rib Dip is exceptional and cooked to perfection. And what I consider the hardest meat to keep juicy, a chicken breast, is delicious to the last bite. Our family never passes us an opportunity to take home several wimpy burgers for later. Roger, Danielle, and all the staff are serving up food with care and passion for the smoker’s art. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty platter or just a quick bite of smoked perfection, this spot delivers. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The Yard Food Park is good to their performing artists! Their selection of food trucks is incredible and so is the selection at the bar. Go check them out!“

“Disclaimer, I didn't eat the food myself as I'm plant based. Dennis and Auntie makes it homey. When I look at the pictures and food, it feels authentic and rich, yummies families eat. Portions are great. Definitely smells tempting while I'm enroute to deliver these. Ordered BBQ pork skewers for my Greek friend and he can't stop raving about it. He asked me to get more for him on his birthday. Got the pork adobo for another friend. OMG! Delicious! He's a born and raised Louisiana chef so quite judgy when it comes to food. Definitely, ordering some dishes for my visiting family!“

“Classic American diner. Great food! The perfect breakfast. Bacon and eggs the way you want them. The pancakes are fluffy and I can't imagine finishing that giant stack of fluffy pancakes, all for a great price.

This place is unbeatable for a classic American small town breakfast. Awesome friendly service. 10/10. So good I had to buy a shirt.“

“My parents and I went here without expecting anything but my dad ended up expressing loudly that it’s the best food he’s had in the states. He said it reminded him of his mum’s food from back in Korea. Great food and lovely service! Highly recommend“

“One of my favorite places to eat or get takeout. Wonderful food, prices, and staff. We have been coming since they opened awhile ago and we are happy everytime with the food and service. The Owner especially is so nice.“

“It’s still so hard to rate Chinese food after eating at Kwan’s for so many years, but China Gourmet is a wonderful hidden gem in north central Salem. The service is great and the restaurant is cozy yet small. The food is delicious and flavorful and was fresh and hot. Pot Stickers were amazing. So was the Kung Poa Chicken and the Garlic Sauce Chicken. BBQ Pork fried rice was as expected and we will try a different fried rice next time.“

“First visit tonight. Good food, good drinks and awesome servers and chef. Planning another visit! Recommend trying this place. super casual, easy parking. entrance is at the back (took a minute to figure out how to get in, LOL).“

“My first time here. I showed up less than a half hour before they closed. They streamlined the sample process for me and I walked out with a delicious selection of MY choosing. 6 bottles for 71$.....11.83 per bottle. I was happy with the price for the quality of the wine. I like the fact that there is a ramp to the entrance if the stairs are challenging. The thing that I like most about this winery, besides the wine and the staff friendliness is the location! Close enough and tasty!“

“Today, I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Santiam Wine and Bistro. The ambiance and aesthetics here are truly special for Salem, offering a unique flavor that's hard to find elsewhere. The French Onion soup was simply exquisite, and the mushroom lasagna was equally delightful. Pairing my meal with a glass of red wine felt like the perfect finishing touch!I must mention that Courtney's warm and welcoming service added to the overall experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, and I highly recommend this place to others“

“They do not post negative reviews“

“Excellent food with great menu options. Perfect for people who need gluten free.“

“Great food. Friendly staff.“

“Staff was prompt and responsive. I ordered the Prime Rib Special. It came out remarkably fast. Medium rare as requested. Unfortunately the baked potato was over done and yet cool. The prime rib was lukewarm. The horseradish sauce was off- I can’t tell why but it had a peculiar flavor that should not have been there. Seasoning of the prime rib was on point and so was the zip sauce. I wasn’t feeling up to potential confrontation so when they asked how the food was I just said good. With prime rib it’s hard because if they warmed it then it might not have come back medium rare…also there was no steak knife but again I didn’t ask“

“Amazing food great service and way too much to eat!!“

“Wait staff is friendly. Food is great“

“Great winery. The views, staff and wine made this stop one of our favorites“

“We like to get the combination plates with a side of yakisoba noodles and gyoza. There’s something for everyone.“

“We eat here or get take out at least twice a month. It is one of 2 Chinese restaurants we use regularly. The food is great, the staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Older building so it has an old school Chinese restaurant vibe to it.“

“Had an amazing dinner and service tonight for my mother’s 80th birthday. Rhylee was our server and she was phenomenal to say the least, I believe she had several tables in the lounge and acting bartender. She didn’t miss a single thing and was cheerful on top of efficient. Best Italian cuisine in our area, thank you Rhylee!“

“The Staff is great the food it's great“

“We were in Salem for a concert at the Elsinore Theatre on Friday, November 1st, and were lucky enough to find the Wild Pear, to get something to eat before concert. I wanted to try everything on the menu, it sounded so good! I ordered the Butternut soup & Pear salad. Both were fabulous, & I can't wait to drive back to Salem to check out other items on the menu. We had awesome service and were greeted & shown to a table right away. You will not be disappointed! I will definitely be back, & wish you were closer to Vancouver, WA!!“

“Thank you for the food and support!“

“Had the fried fish platter was very good and the price here was not expensive at all. The service was good and the staff was very friendly. Would recommend you all come try them out and have a good meal good job La Hacienda we will come back to visit sometime.“

“The food was overall fine. I wouldn't write home about any dish. We started with the pan seared gyoza which are typically in my experience served with a sudachi dipping sauce, but not here. The gyoza themselves were good, but I think sauce would be a good addition. We also had a variety of ramen around the table most of which was pretty decent. I had the tan tan ramen pictured above. Having lived in Japan and eaten many different kinds of tantanmen, I was very surprised by the flavor of this dish. It was unlike any other tantanmen I have had. It had little to no sesame paste flavor nor soy milk. Additionally, the ground pork could have been more generous. The flavor was overwhelmingly chilli oil. It tasted okay in its own right, but I might suggest changing the name because I do not think it is representative of the dish served. Some people at the table had the gyudon bowls which were similarly skimpy on the meat for the price.
The service was good, no issues there.
The atmosphere was mostly good. The venue was clean and stylish. The only negative there was they didn't play any music.“
