Vegan Restaurants near Mars

“Finally getting to writing reviews for the best few vendors from my August 2019 wedding. I am a little hesitant to post this since their Facebook page seems to have gone silent and reviews on other platforms indicate that management and menus may have changed in the last 6 months. But I was so pleased with my experience that it only seems fair to give credit where credit is due…. If you are looking for a rehearsal dinner location in Cranberry and have 30 guests or less, I highly recommend the private room at Ember and Vine in the lobby of the DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh-Cranberry. We researched every restaurant in the area and Ember and Vine at DoubleTree delivered a perfect solution. Their facilities are beautiful and modern, and the staff was so nice and accommodating. Although they can do traditional seated banquet-style meals, we wanted something distinctly different from our wedding dinner the following day. We chose to order off their regular restaurant menu and have them cordon off a portion of the lobby area next to the private room, where a buffet was placed with different flavors of wings, woodfired pizzas, salad, and their oh-so-yummy crispy brussels sprouts. Not only were they flexible with the setup and menu (accommodating multiple food allergies), they also provided the option to have a limited bar within the private room or have our guests use the full bar in the lobby. Having the private room but also the cordoned off lobby area gave us extra area to mingle and a great balance between private space and the fun energy and ambiance from the restaurant and bar. Our guests loved the food and had loads of fun! Other factors that made Ember and Vine a clear winner for us were: - They had a very low minimum spend. Other locations with private dining had a ridiculous minimum spend that would be difficult to meet with a 20-30 person guest list. - The large parking lot. We looked at other options closer to our venue and parking was limited. - Flexibility with timing. We gave them a general time frame for arrival, but not knowing how long the rehearsal would take, they told us just to call them when we were 20 minutes out. Thanks DoubleTree and Ember and Vine for a classy venue and excellent food that let my husband and me and our closest friends and family relax and have a great time before our big day!!“

“great new place in town!!“

“Loved the Strawberry Fields chicken salad, the chicken bacon Ranch Piadina, and the Pizookie Trio was so decadent! Dustin B.was our server. polite, professional, helpful and friendly. Ask for him when you stop in!“

“Large menu of coffees, teas, breakfast sandwiches, crepes, lunch sandwiches....a good variety to pick from. I had the nutella and berries crepe, which was very good & very filling. I Also had a chai latte, which was good. My friends got a turkey wrap and another got a different crepe. We all liked our choices. But the one friend asked for hot water AND was charged $3.75 for it!!!!! So fair warning, only get ice water (which is free) if wanting water. Atmosphere cute with rustic brick walls, but cold in the back dining area, never took my coat off. Serving staff very friendly.“

“I truly go out of my way just to stop here. Carly and Jen are my Chillin besties and I adore them so much. Amazing drinks and good food.“

“We had a fantastic dinner. The service was perfect and the manager, Jason, is more than accommodating. Made you feel right at home. 🤩🔥🤩“

“We were passing through the area on a road trip from Toronto to Florida, followed by a Caribbean cruise, and stopped for one night at a nearby hotel. We decided to have dinner at Olive Garden, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience!

We were dining as a family, including one member with a gluten allergy and another who is vegetarian. The staff were incredibly accommodating — the General Manager even came out personally to discuss gluten-free preparation and ensure everything would be handled safely. That level of care really stood out.

The food was fresh, hot, and delicious, and every team member we interacted with was friendly and pleasant. It was a comfortable, stress-free meal, which was exactly what we needed after a long day of travel.

If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely come back. Highly recommended for anyone — especially those with dietary restrictions!“

“My favorite Mexican restaurant of all time!“

“We recently visited The Milkshake Factory in Pleasant Grove, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Micah, the owner, who made us feel like family. It was as if he had known us for years! Micah’s hospitality was unmatched. He generously offered us free samples of their incredible chocolate, encouraging us to try as much as we liked. It was such a thoughtful gesture that truly set the tone for our visit. As for the milkshakes, they were out of this world! I indulged in the Bananas Foster Milkshake, which was rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. My wife couldn’t get enough of her Cookie Brownie Fudge milkshake—it was the perfect blend of decadent flavors. Our kids loved their classic Vanilla Milkshakes, which were smooth and delicious. The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and exceptional customer service made this visit unforgettable. We can’t wait to return and try more of their amazing offerings. If you’re in Pleasant Grove, do yourself a favor and stop by The Milkshake Factory—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Had a great experience for lunch a ShuBrew. Fair prices, unique menu items, and excellent service. My only issue is the atmosphere/decor could be a little more cohesive. It's lacking an image a bit but the food and super kind and helpful staff makes up for it. I will dream about the shloaded fries! Splitting hairs - the beet salad could use more goat cheese and maybe some micro greens and wings needed maybe 30 seconds more in the fryer but the flavors were on point!“

“Have been to First Watch multiple times . Food is always excellent and the service is great .Would highly recommend First Watch in McCandless.“

“Best Thai food …,spectacular curries and mango sticky rice….and it’s right next door to a dispensary…“

“Great coffee and gluten free options.“

“Bomb! Every time I have training I come here! Great workers, great food (which I always get the wings and have tried 3 different pizzas), and some yummy cookies!“

“Fun Meeting with nice ladies and friends and having a good time!“

“Love love the frozen custard. Great flavors and super people who work there. I’m a regular!“

“I DoorDashed for this and WOW! The food was so fresh! Great portion sizes for the price! I love having fresh fruit as a side to my Power Wrap, which was phenomenal! My daughter loved her parfait bowl as well! Will definitely be ordering again!“

“Good food and good service! Understaffed like everyone else, so if I go again I will check on call ahead seating! Must say prices have gone up considerably too“

“Loved the Manchurian chicken and the Chicken Biryani. Good food and good service. Highly recommend.“

“Food was very good!! Staff is kind and service is fast!! Would recommend!!“

“I placed a takeout order at the Fox Chapel (Pittsburgh) location on 3/29, around 5pm. I live in SE Virginia and my son’s father lives in Aspinwall, we were meeting 1/2 way in Maryland for spring break so I asked him if he’d pick up and take out order for me at the FC restaurant, and bring it with him and our son. (Nothing in my area compares to Aladdin’s!!). When I called, an amazing woman answered the phone, I asked ONLY if they could put the sauce on the side for my Shawarma so it wasn’t soggy 8 hours later when I’d be home to eat! Without second thought, she offered to make both of the Shawarma’s “deconstructed” with everything separate so I could “build” the wraps myself!! I also ordered the Dawali! When my ex handed me the bag and went to the cooler to get my food, I noticed what the crew had done…. They put everything in separate takeout containers and even wrote instructions on the Dawali container for me to heat, when I got home!! Everything was separate and the amount of extra time that was spent on the order was above and beyond!! It may seem simple, but for them to take the time and effort to make sure my food was just as good as it would have been if I ate in the store was really refreshing!! So THANK YOU to the Fox Chapel location for packing my order with such attention and my ex will be bringing a cooler with Shawarma’s and Diwali’s each time we meet in Maryland!!!“

“Della Terra is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. Scratch made pasta and dough, Neapolitan style pizza, and creative dishes and cocktails. It’s a beautiful atmosphere and great place to eat.“

“I will definitely be back and tell everyone about your Amazing Burgers 🍔 🤤😍“

“We stopped here with my son and his fiancé to plan food for their reception and eat. It’s their favorite restaurant. The food was yummy, our server was excellent, and we got our catering squared away! They chose Olive Garden since there is a great variety for vegetarians and carnivores. Her side is all vegetarians, while ours is primarily carnivores. The pasta stations worked great for this! Plus, the lasagna is an add on vegetarian option. Plenty of salad and breadsticks and the menu was set perfectly!
The day of the wedding the food arrived on time, was set-up for us, and was hot and delicious! They were outstanding!

Vegetarian options: My daughter-in-law and her entire family are vegetarians, while my son and our side are not. Olive Garden works great for both the vegetarians and the carnivores! Everyone loved the food, had great choices, and plenty to eat!“

“THANK YOU! I always get pizza delivered, but accidentally hit pick-up last week. I called wondering where my pizza was, only to find out my mistake. I asked if I could switch to delivery and they said yes, it would probably be about 30 minutes…no problem. It was at my door in less than 10 minutes! Great customer service even though I was the one that made a mistake.“

“I love DiNella’s subs. They are freshly made with you picking the sub, the bread, and the toppings. Some subs are hot while others are cold. And don’t forget to have a cookie with your sub, as well as chips and a drink. A wonderful and filling meal. I love the Italian Sub!“

“Love this Cafe! Food is amazing. Options are good. The only thing I didn't like was that the seating is all very close together and I felt like I was eating with people I didn't know. Other than that everything else was great, even the restrooms which were large and clean. My sister had the Southern Benedict and I had chicken and waffles, both were delicious. I need to go back and try their other options!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great service & great food! The outside space is awesome!“

“The bar tender Stephany is a awesome young lady great personality and fun to talk too Beer selection always great too“

“My family and I stop by often for a healthy salad bar. It’s always fresh and delicious. Today we met a nice young lady, Kate, who was bussing tables. She went out of her way to get my husband his favorite dressing when it wasn’t on the salad bar. She was super friendly and made our stop there extra special today. And I can’t say enough about the manager, Joe. Super nice guy. I think it’s great that Jason’s Deli hires special needs adults. We will continue to support this business as often as possible.“

“Jimmy's is the perfect place for a Pan Asian lunch or dinner. Plus Jimmy is a fine gentleman with a great focus on Customer's satisfaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good times had by all. These people are the best.“

“Kim and Anita went above and beyond to ensure the catering order that my 6th grade students placed was absolute perfection! I cannot thank you enough for providing such incredible service, fabulous communication, and for your genuine kindness in dealing with so many different orders! You truly are wonderful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!“

“Thanks for catering my son’s party! Everything was packaged so perfectly & the teenagers loved the food!“

“We reviewed Hello Bistro in Beachwood OH, well JRK did because Joe was too busy "working"...... Tried the Tex Mex burger – looked great, but it was tiny and bland. I was expecting flavor fireworks, but it was more like a flavor fizzle. The avocado was the highlight though! The fries were fresh and tasty, and the house-made ranch? Chef’s kiss. As for the chocolate chip cookie… I thought it was fresh, but it was more like a sad, store-bought rock. Tex Mex Burger 5.5 Hand cut fries 6.1 House Made Ranch 8.2 Chocolate Chip Cookie 2.0“

“I was having trouble using my coupon and the lady at the counter didn't know how to use the app. I was getting frustrated and Manager Rob stepped in and managed the situation perfectly! This is why I have my business meetings at Panera! Thx Rob!! �����“

“my favorite burger place. everything is different than the same old burgers. their seasoning is perfect. Staff is super friendly and the building has a great esthetic. We don't live super close so this is a treat but make it a point to go there when we can.“

“Very good pizza and appetizers!“
