50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Paxtonia

“Keep forgetting to write a review despite grabbing something here more often than anywhere else up here in Harrisburg. Amazing food for super cheap. Have not had anything bad from here. Mostly I order the General Tso lunch special. Very cheap for a stupidly good meal, and I work like 3 minutes away so incredibly convenient. Staff have always been friendly every time I go there.

“Excellent NY style and strombolis“

“We had dinner this evening at the Water Shed Pub. What an enjoyable evening!!!! The appetizer we started with was the karaage chicken. I can’t explain how the flavors come together for this dynamic appetizer but, Wow! It was fantastic!!! Our entrees of the scallop po boy…..( yum!!! )…… and the seafood enchiladas……. ( oh my goodness!!! ). …were delightful!! So, so delicious!!!! Sweet potato pie and pumpkin cheesecake ice cream were an amazing ending to a superb meal!!! We’ll definitely be back soon! There’s lots more on the menu that we can’t wait to try!!!“

“We came here for dinner after a tournament my daughter had today. Food was so so good . We had a brisket wood fire pizza , salad and my daughter had a chicken sandwich. We were waited on by Betsy . So nice and super helpful when it came to helping us pick from their menu / beer selection since it was our first time here . Would definitely recommend!“

“My husband and I dined here last night. it was our first experience at The Mill,and everything was spectacular. I chose the porterhouse bone-in pork chop,while he had the seasonal duck. The food was delicious, as were the drinks. We also really enjoyed the rustic/industrial atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“The food at Simply Greek is simply the best! We have never had a meal we didn't love. We go as often as we can. Waiting for the restaurant owner to start a Simply Greek closer to Mechanicsburg so we can eat there every week. . Or every other day ? Simply the best!“

“Nice atmosphere . Good food .“

“Came here for lunch with a friend and had a great time. Our server was warm and attentive throughout, checked in at the right moments and gave genuinely helpful suggestions when we were deciding what to order.

Started with the clam chowder, rich, well seasoned, good chunks of clam, perfect for a lunch starter. For mains, the halibut was cooked perfectly, flaky and moist. The shrimp was also excellent, fresh without being overcooked.

Great food, easy conversation, friendly service, perfect spot for a relaxed lunch with a friend. Will definitely be back.“

“Great service. Delicious food. Reasonable portions. Amazing prices. Will definitely be back!!“

“The best quick most delicious meal for families. The food is so fresh and delicious! We go here every week and feel so taken care of by John, Charisse, and all the cooks, line people. They make us feel like family.“

“We have been big fans of Carpe Diem and Nino for years but in the beginning of October he catered our wedding and the results were even better than we hoped for. The food was wonderful (Chicken Parmesan and Meatballs). It was very tasty and fresh, not at all dry or overcooked as often happens when food is put out for a buffet. His house dressing is amazing, and I normally do not eat any dressing on my salads.“

“Everything was great tonight for my wife's birthday! As USUAL! I am inviting all of my 5000+ friends to follow your page here on FB!“

“What a great find during a recent weekend in Harrisburg. Our server, Maria, was outstanding - knowledgeable, very friendly, and fun. Other staff members were also very accommodating and gracious. I particularly enjoyed the whipped ricotta app and arugula and beet salad. Highly recommend!“

“Best chicken croquettes I have had in a long time. Good service too.“

“absolutely the best...dedicated professionals in the art of Mexican native food...“

“stopped in today.. Tracy is such a great bartender. I've never seen someone be so personable and multi task. we will be back every other Sunday !“

“Had a hoagie from there for the first time this week and it was exceptional! Cool place!“

“daughter loves the fish platter and burgers cooked to order. fries and hot cheddar sauce great“

“Found this little gem of a cafe tucked in the rear of all the big chains on the main street. Reasonably priced and every kind of crepe you might desire prepared by the owner right before your eyes. All were tasty and we were impressed by the huge bar of chocolate he used to melt it directly on the crepe while it cooked. A great place to try for something a little different!“

“Excellent food, very, very good service. Large menu to choose from and everything we got was amazing. Appetizers were delicious and fresh. Our food came out quickly and was the perfect balance of savory and spicy. This was my first visit but will not be my last. I highly recommend.“

“We stopped in last evening to give it a try. Really liked the atmosophere and the decor. Great job. The weather was wonderful so we chose to sit on the screened in porch and we received very good service. Ordered Veal Scalapini and it was good. An addition of lemon or garlic or a splash of white wine in the sauce would take it to the next level. My wife had the chicken bruscetta with broccoli. The dish was cold because the Bruscetta was not warmed before putting it on the chicken. Chicken was nice and tender. Wonderful entree just needed some heat. Since we are wood fired oven pizza snobs we try a small pizza. the cheese and sauce we real good. Can't say the same for the crust, which is the foundation of every good pizza. Suggest a 3 day cold fermentation with the dough to enhance the flavor. Then the pizza would be in a 9/10 range. Overall wonderful dining experience“

“Food: The food (for the most part, there are a couple of items on the menu I'm personally not a big fan of) is pretty good & comes in nice big serving sizes (again, for the most part).

Price: It's generally about the same price or a bit cheaper (depending on what you get) as most fast food restaurants, except this is a diner/cafe & you are getting a decent bit more food per dollar.

Building/ Parking: It's a pretty tiny building with pretty limited parking (you can always find some parking somewhere nearby), but it's clean & decently maintained.

Staff: They're cool people, nothing extraordinary, but also nothing bad I've experienced so far (I've been several times).

Overall: This place is pretty good. If you are looking for breakfast (or potentially lunch) in Middletown, (from my experience) either here or the Brownstone Cafe are your best options (If you have a big party like 6+, I'd probably go to the brownstone, but just 1-4, here is really nice & there's typically not much of any wait like the Brownstone).

Have a wonderful breakfast Mr., Ms., or Mrs. random person on the interwebs! : )“

“Amazing food every time we go! Fresh hot and made with Lots of love“

“This authentic Chinese Restaurant is a fantastic addition to the otherwise dull fare of "quick joints" in Harrisburg . Unique menu with something for everyone. Dishes, in ample portions, are served "family style" at the center of the table on a glass "Lazy Susan". No need to pick up and pass, just turn. and add to your plate. Front of house Service is very attentive and always at the ready. Very friendly and will explain the cuisine. We were a party of 7 and each one of us enjoyed our meal and experience. this place is a gem. Poultry, Fish, Pork, and vegan options are available. Exotic fare is also on the menu. This place is great and I hope they are here to stay! Families and kids are welcomed. BYOB.“

“My first experience…
* Fire Feta was awesome! (And I like just a slight kick - this was perfect)
* Flavor was excellent
* Everything was fresh
* Portions were perfect for a nice leftover lunch
* Cannot wait to order again!“

“A wonderful diner with great food and very nice waitress. I will keep coming back for quality food and super service!! ?“

“Amazing food. Great service.“

“I tried the chicken and French toast, and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere has a timeless charm that makes the experience even better.“

“We ate at Bonefish Grille prior to a concert. From our greeting at the hostess stand to the end of our meal the service was excellent. Our server Justin was knowledgeable but not overbearing. Justin made suggestions based on his likes on the menu. My wife had the crab cakes and I had the filet and lobster. We were both very pleased with the meals delivered. Justin checked in at just the right intervals and delivered awesome service. Prices are on point with the quality of the food. All in all We would highly recommend Bonefish Grille“

“went tonight to celebrate a birthday. Danny and our waitress Claire went above and beyond to make our evening spectacular. the service here is amazing. and the food was delicious. I couldnt recommend this place enough.“

“Bills takes me back to a time when I was a young child. It's a beautiful old restaurant. The staff are fantastic, especially the older lady who waited on us. She said she was the waitress there from the time it was opened, many years ago. Food is fantastic! We always went for the breakfast, which came quick and was always delicious! Pricing is very reasonable. The only thing that I would change is, you have to pay cash, no cards. But, I did say it took me back. Thanks Bill, great job!“

“Ate dinner there about a week ago. Food was good but their telephone rang at top volume the entire time we were there making it difficult to talk or enjoy our meal. Complained to waitress who said it had to be that way so they could hear in the back for take out orders. The restaurant was far from busy for in house dining so I guess the owner doesn't care about us; only the take out customers! I have eaten here for years and tried to support them during covid but never again.“

“Our meals were excellent, along with service. Food came out quick and hot. Love it.“

“Food is great, service great and everyone is so personable! Now becoming our favorite place?“

“The absolute best place to eat around.“

“One of the best places with PHO 🍲! I will gladly drive from York to Harrisburg just for their Pho 🔥“

“We have eaten here twice, and both times were amazing. The food is incredible, and the people are great. We had to wait pretty long both times, but it was definitely worth it. The food is delicious and it’s obvious that the ingredients are high quality. We will definitely be returning!“

“The survive is absolutely fantastic so cleans and delicious ????“

“El Sol is our favorite Mexican spot! no matter what you get, the food is always delicious!! and the service is great! highly recommend!!! ❤️“

“Everything we have had here is delicious & craveable! The egg rolls are AMAZING & the Bird’s Nest dish = umami!“

“David's pizza is by far the most amazing pizza restaurant I have ever ate at in my whole life! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for top level food at a very affordable price! I also tonight had the pleasure of meeting the owner Mr Davis himself and let me tell you he is a very special and kind man who cares about his customers which is very hard to find in today's world! Please if you haven't yet try this place out or you are missing out! I know I will be coming back again and again!“

“Great pizza! And with a gluten intolerant child, them making their gluten free pizza in its own tin and sending a pizza cutter to lower cross contamination is greatly appreciated!“

“This was the first time there and the food was excellent! I will definitely be going back again.“

“I am new to the area and this made me feel at home but even better!! I order about every week. Fresh and very hot. Family restaurant and made me feel very welcomed!! I brought my family from back home here for dinner, they enjoy this just as much!! I need to try a few more things on the menu so I can brag more!!“

“Very sweet! the sandwich menu is out of this world! My boyfriend tried to say you can get a deli to make a sandwich yes but not like mellow minded does! cant wait to go again!“

“We ordered a cheese pizza and a Chicken bacon ranch pizza.... At first, the establishment was super clean and every staff member was very attentive. Then once it came the pizza, it had the best crisps to the crust and the topping choices were perfect and perfectly cooked. I would definitely recommend this pizza if you're in the area.“

“We enjoyed the casual atmosphere yet sophisticated menu and food selections. We tried different items during 3 visits - swordfish, scallops and seafood special. All were delicious! We also had mussels in beer broth and chicken flatbread - both excellent choices for appetizers or light meal. Staff is friendly and professional. Would definitely make it a stop on our next trip to the Harrisburg PA area.“

“12/11/25 WARNING: This review is being written 1 year (to the day) AFTER our experience with Duke's. That's how strongly I feel about this restaurant. We had our son's wedding rehearsal dinner here. There were over 40 people in attendance & every single person said the same thing, "they knocked it outta the park!" The food was amazing, the staff was incredibly kind, even tending to a few extra needs with our older family members. As if that wasn't enough to "sell you" on the place, we got a call from them on our way back to the hotel, that we needed to come back because of a discrepancy with the bill. Having had an open bar for so many hours, for that many people, we really had no idea what the bill should have been, we just paid it....IN CASH! They called & had us come back because we OVER paid... by more than $1000! That type of honesty needs to be recognized. Anyone on staff, or the owners, could have kept quiet & we would never have been any the wiser, but they called as soon as they realized their error. If this place were closer, there's no doubt we would be regulars here!!! We loved everything about our experience & look forward to making the trip to the area just to go to Duke's. Sincerely, Mrs. Bernadette Umbenhaur“

“Every time we go to the mall we get it delicious can handle my large order. My first time there they told us that the place across from them had cheaper drinks so we got those and the staff are friendly. I Rated the atmosphere bad because it’s in the middle of A Mall do you really expect atmosphere? The poor person rate was higher because we order a lot“

“If you’re anywhere near Harrisburg and haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out on a slice of Italy itself. These folks are true Italians through and through — you can taste the love and pride in every bite. From the moment we walked in, they treated my family like we were part of theirs. The service wasn’t just good; it was genuine, warm, and downright old-school in the best way. Now, the pizza. Their homemade sauce? Absolute perfection — easily the best we’ve had since our trip to Italy. It’s rich, fresh, and clearly made with the kind of care you can’t fake. The crust hits that magic balance: light, crispy, and chewy. My oldest, who’s never really been into pizza (still not sure how that’s genetically possible), couldn’t stop talking about how good their pie was. That alone says it all. Bottom line: this isn’t just pizza — it’s craftsmanship. A must-have, every time.“
