16 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Mercer

“A cozy atmosphere with an extensive menu. Our meals were hot and delicious with generous portions. Friendly staff. Just minutes from the outlets.“

“Great food, great service“

“Not a huge menu, but the food was good. Steak was slightly smaller than expected but good (menu doesn't list a weight), and the burgundy steak sandwich was also very good (the au jus was thicker, but worked well). Bonus was the live jazz quartet!“

“This is a great off the road stop. Got the prime rib it was a bit fatty, but wow was it good. Cooked perfectly. Potatoes were very good. Will definitely be back. Service was outstanding. Came a little after 4 no wait. Great atmosphere.“

“Overall my experience at Margarita King in Mercer was good, but the enchiladas de Mar was a huge disappointment. Described in the menu as shrimp and crab. NO REAL CRAB MEAT!! Large chunks of imitation crab. It was worse than no crab at all. FDA rules prohibit using surimi and calling it crab on a menu. The dish would be much better with just shrimp if they can’t use real crab. ORDER ANYTHING ELSE! The band, Uptown Classic Hits was GREAT.“

“Thank you Donna and great group at Rudy’s for making the Mercer class reunion such a success. Great food, accommodations and service for a large group👌“

“This is one of the best pizza joes that is around. The food is great and the consistency is always on par. I am always satisfied with the food and experience. The staff is super friendly and the manager there always strives to make things great for me. Heaven forbid that I have had a mistake he goes above and beyond to make it up to me and that I am satisfied. Will always have my business.“

“We ate here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was moderately busy. We were seated immediately and served our drinks. I had the stromboli and my spouse ordered the Chicken Marsala. The orders came out quickly and if I was only rating the stromboli, it would be 5 stars. The stromboli was very good with a great balance of fillings and very good marinara on the side.
The Chicken Marsala on the other hand was a big disappointment. It was ordered with asparagus, and the asparagus was terrible. The stalks were whole with the inedible ends of the stalks not removed. The asparagus spears were also super thin, much less than pencil thin. It was also undercooked and had to be returned to the kitchen. I love asparagus, but this serving was not at all appealing.
The chicken was ok, but the sauce contained only a few small pieces of mushroom. The chicken was served over mashed potatoes, which were ok, but again, nothing special.
I paid $29.00 for the Chicken Marsala, and I wouldn't order it again if it was half that price. Very disappointing.
Service was good and it is a nice place, but we left feeling that there are much better options for the money. The stromboli seemed reasonable.“

“A couple of nights ago I was at the restaurant with two other people. Wonderful ambience , exceptional service. I am only giving this one negative comment so that someone would be aware that the kitchen staff needs to be educated to make the dishes match what the menu states. We had an appetizer and each of us ordered a different meal. The others meals were excellent and perfectly done. I ordered the stuffed sweet potato with a special topping and crispy shallots. The skin on the bottom of the baked sweet potato was burned. No big deal I could scrape the potato away from that. The shallots, however, were not even close to crispy. They were soggy, limp and bitter. I was disappointed but did not want to make a fuss In front of my friends. We had tasty cocktails and I repeat excellent service. I will be back and will recommend the Tavern to friends.“

“If you're looking for a fantastic spot to enjoy delicious homemade food, this place is a gem! Every meal we've had has been nothing short of excellent, leaving us eager for our next visit. And don't forget to save room for their incredible desserts – they're a must-try! The staff here truly shines with their politeness and attentiveness, making your dining experience even more enjoyable.“

“We chose to eat here for lunch for my husband’s birthday at 11:30 on a Sunday, with a party of 11. We knew this was a large ask! The hostesses were wonderful and quickly got us a table all together even though we said separate tables close to each other would be fine! The food came out in a timely manner and was all delicious. Even my picky eater nearly cleared her plate! Everyone was incredibly kind and patient. They were also very helpful with my nephew’s dairy allergy. We live near Pittsburgh and would (and will) happily take the hour drive to enjoy this place again!“

“So so good! We were heading back towards Pittsburgh from Erie when our younger two woke up right after passing the exit before that had a Sheetz. We stopped here as it was all there was and they were hangry. The food was so good! I haven’t had a homemade meal like that in years! Everything from the applesauce, veggies, even the ice-cream is homemade and the prices extremely reasonable. I definitely recommend stopping in as it is the perfect halfway stop. We definitely will make it our planned meal for future visits.“

“Our waitress was amazing (Aleena) she was on top of everything. Seating is extremely easy for a knee scooter or crutches.“

“Great food. Salad bar was fun (Canadian here: I don't think I've seen a salad bar in 25 years... it was fun making my own). Salad bar had lots of topping options. Buffalo Chicken Wrap was excellent.

Vegetarian options: Salad bar is nice option, either as a meal or add-on for your meal (instead of side)“

“Amazing food & great service.“

“Had a great steak at the restaurant and just based on the steak, it would receive 5 stars. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly to order. The potato was good as well. The reason for the 4 stars is the soup and salad bar, which offers lower end fare from the food supplier. I worked for a food supplier and can always tell when restaurants choose to serve the lower priced options. I understand the reasons for cost cutting, but it definitely brings the dining experience down a notch.
That being said, it was still a very enjoyable dinner, and the steak made up for any shortcomings of the salad bar. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a good steak at a fair price.“
