50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Monongahela

“Wow!! The absolute best Pho I've ever had. And I've had quite a bit of Pho over the years on the west coast. I discovered this hidden little gem nestled along the road in Monongahela while driving through one day. My husband and I finally gave it a try today and we were absolutely blown away! The owner, Duong was our server and what a super nice and interesting man. He told us all about his life in Vietnam and how he and his wife ended up in the area. He explained every dish to us and how the flavors were developed. Not only was the Pho broth spot on and delicious, the fresh spring rolls were amazing. My husband got the egg rolls and chicken wings. He said both were the best he's ever had. I cannot wait to come back!“

Their Italian toast was amazing as was their French toast, bacon and eggs. I highly recommended Ma and Pop’s Country Kitchen and will be coming back.“

“We went this morning to eat some brunch and celebrate after my daughter Arya got a 2nd chance in life (transplant). After Alexa (our waitress) heard about our story, management came to us and said everything was on them. Definitely filled us with joy with such a kind act. Can’t wait to go again after this beautiful experience!! Look at the customer #PrayforArya!!!“

The food was good and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely use Hills again for any event. Thank you to Hills and the staff for everything.“

“Try the Chicken parm family meal deal .. you won't be disappointed!!“

“This was the best experience I have ever had at Eat n Park and I have been taking my grandma there every other week for a few years now. By chance we stopped at this particular eat n park and a side from the food being delicious the service I got was top notch. Kelli P was phenomenal and extremely professional. Highly recommend making a stop there and if you are lucky she will be your server. 5 out of 5 treatment.“

“I been going there for some time. The food is delicious. It’s a small place with big flavor .haven’t eaten any thing bad yet. And don’t think it’s possible.“

“I love this place, favorite South Hills bakery! Their pierogi are incredible, and my favorite of the baked goods selection is the lady lock (but it's all great). The vibe in there is super cozy, old school neighborhood bakery, affordable. I recommend them to everyone.“

“I do not even know where to start! From the server(Dominic) who was friendly, always right there and check on our table periodically making sure we always had what we needed! the drinks, the food, the dessert, everything was a 10/10. The sauce was the best I ever had. This place is a must! It is beautiful, clean, and welcoming inside with a sense of family and friends. The host was lovely, and friendly. You can tell the owner cherishes this place,he was hands on the entire time I was there.“

“We ordered the Christmas Dinner for 4-6 people , in an effort to make the holidays a little bit easier. Picked up the food Christmas Eve, everything was very organized and smooth. Items were all boxed up nicely, and reheat instructions on the box! The menu and food were incredible, and everything reheated fresh and tasty! I will 100% order again next year, as it was nice to be able to sit with my family and enjoy the holiday instead of spend it all in the kitchen! Best part was easy clean up!“

“Always a blast!!! Feels like hanging out at a friend’s place.“

“Husband, daughter, and I stopped during an outing on a Saturday. The hosts were amazing, server was top notch, and the food and drinks were absolutely top notch. Atmosphere is beautiful, and we absolutely enjoyed everything about our visit! 100/10. Thank you for a great experience!!!!“

“The last two months I've had the best cashew chicken. And I was almost ready to give up on you guys. I've been going here since I was a teenage and I'm 50 now. But over the last year it's not been good or consistent. I always get the cashew chicken but it wasn't good until the last two months. So whatever you're doing keep doing it. It's perfect and sooooooooooo good.“

“Our waitress was top notch. Very friendly and attentive. The menu is diverse and delicious. I had the mon burger and it was cooked to perfection with toppings that accentuated each other. Next time im in the area I will go just to try something different.“

“The food is always great but the people who work there are always so miserable, terrible attitudes. Just like they hate their job and it shows. Food is great though, a shame that everyone is miserable everytime I’ve ever been there.“

“The white pizza is amazing and Italian hoagies are the best so filling“

“Definitely do not come here for the atmosphere or the cleanliness. It hasn't seen a sanitizer since 1980. Literally. It was pretty bad. BUT....we committed to staying because someone gave the food a 5 stars review...and I see why. It was hands down the best breakfast I've had. Every part of that meal was a 5. Only the food, the coffee was awful, so not the beverages, just the food. I was in total shock. That cook needs a raise! Also,it's a shame, someone needs to clean this place up, and give the dining area a face lift. Because, the food their serving deserves to be served on a nice plate, and put on a clean, bought this century, booth. It also smells real bad, they need to open up the windows and let some fresh air in there.“

“So, Red Lobster in Pleasant Hills was clean and had a menu with many options. I chose the shrimp skewers and added a scallop one. They were tasty. I added a side of Brussel sprouts. They were delicious. The biscuits were good. The baked potato was done well. All of the staff were friendly . It’s worth a return visit to try the Salmon Bowl or maybe the flounder.“

“Meat ravioli are hard to find, even in Italian restaurants. Anthony’s are amazing are and I’m so glad I ordered them!“

“Danny’s is an amazing place. They always serve amazing Hoagies. Their hoagies are so crispy warm and delicious. They also have amazing pizza, I have only had their pepperoni but it was great. The staff is always really kind and gets you your food quickly. The building is also really clean and friendly.“

“It’s always crowded
I just moved back to BP
This is my 1st time at Al’s cafe
That’s a knife and fork burger
3rd time that has happened
And the bun was not toasted that needs fixed for all the burgers
And if i can make a suggestion
Add venison to the menu
It’s a log cabin style restaurant when you walk in
Pennsylvania has a deer problem so during hunting season add venison to the menu
The menu is off the charts there’s a lot to choose from
We have a lot of hunters in south western Pa so a game menu would be good
A rabbit rattlesnake appetizer would be great
Keep the REESE'S desert on the menu“

“Absolutely hands down my favorite local Chinese place. The staff is always so kind, the food is always outstanding! The sushi is so fresh. I get takeout often for work, they pack my sushi with a little bag of ice so it doesn’t get warm and they include a little dish for the soy sauce. Best place to dine in or takeout!“

“I’d like to give a big shout out to Tracey. We’ve been sick in this house and once coming back to life we wanted la eda’s. So I went to pick it up. On way home I got a call. My salad wasn’t in my order. Yep before I was even home ❤️. I went back and she brought out to me with a giant smile 😊. Thanks for bringing us back to life with the best food 💯❤️“

“this has become my wife and I's favorite Italian restaurant in the South Hills. portions are huge. Food is absolutely delicious. Quick warning though if you order the stuffed hot peppers they will be HOT. They're absolutely delicious though!“

“We've only been here twice but both times were very good. I had the beef ravioli. I sampled the cheese ravioli and it wasn't as good; the inside cheese and the outside cheese (common to both the cheese and beef ravioli) was a bit more than I would like. Maybe red sauce should be a written option for the cheese ravioli. Six of us enjoyed a range of food, from a simple burger to a very nicely prepared steak. The food was priced as expected and the staff was attentive, with the service bordering on superb given their generally younger age. I will be returning.“

“I love their pizza! The thin crust and large slices are a hit in our household. Always delicious, and passes the picky-pizza-eater kiddo test.“

“Very good pizza. Never disappointed.“

“The food here is always good! We love pizza and tend to choose double m’s over the others in the area! My wife loves their white pizza! We’ve had their sandwiches as well! They have good deals to throughout the week! I highly recommend this pizza shop! The service is always great too! The people that work there are always cheerful!!!“

“Jaime ,my baby the best bartender in the city, bet!. Try her drinks,not her you bums,she all mine,I'm hers..💯“

“We came here for dinner on a Friday night in August. We were traveling and checked the map for something that was close and looked good. The menu looked good and I liked the name because I have seen the Godfather a bunch of times but I was a little hesitant at first because it was in a strip mall.

We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by a bartender who gave us menus and took our drink order. She gave a little time to decide on meals and then out that order in for us. We ordered the calamari to share and we wanted to split the shrimp scampi as well. There weren’t too many people on the bar side. I couldn’t see the dining room area. There are couple Godfather posters which was cool.

The food came out shortly after ordering and the kitchen was able to split the pasta for us which we appreciated because we know how messy it can get at the bar when we try to do that ourselves with pasta. We were grateful they could do that - some places won’t. The calamari was very good. They pasta was good. I wish it would have had a little bit of lemon in it to make the garlic more pronounced but that’s just my preference.

The bartender was friendly and attentive. She seemed to have good rapport with the other customers who maybe were regulars. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual.

They have a lottery machine. We weee hoping to get a winning powerball ticket that night but the machine was offline. Oh well.

Prices were comparable to other similar places we go at home. Parking was easy - since it’s in the strip mall it shares a big lot with surrounding businesses.

Overall we had a good time.“

“The pad thainoodle with shrimi was pretty good. I like that you can customize the heat level and I like it at a 4. However the meatball pho, the meatballs were a little dense and the broth didn't have that depth of flavor, it was missing roasted ginger, onion and star anise and a few dashes of fish sauce. But it was a good size bowl of noodles. I will most definitely go back to order the papaya salad and try their Tom yum soup or fried rices. The owner seemed very nice.“

“Good food..but was charged $1 for 1 thin slice of tomato on my hamburger..75 for a small piece of lettuce. ..My wife charged $1 for a slice of tomato on her grilled cheese.. We won't be eating there again. Oh, don't use your charge card..there is a surcharge for using it...and they don't tell you until you are checking out.“

“Very good experience. Heather, our server, was excellent, even on a very busy night. Food was good, except ribs were a little tough. The price was great, we had a couple of the specials. Don't expect quiet though, it gets quite noisy in there. But the value was outstanding.“

“Still the best pizza in Mon valley. They do not skimp on toppings and always great service“

“Great staff & delicious food“

“My family and I were here on Sunday November 16, 2025. Both bartenders were excellent and very positive and outgoing. The food was amazing. We had fish sandwiches and fries.“
